Yards and Yards (and a giveaway!)

(this giveaway is now closed -- thanks for playing!)

I recently came across a great blog and etsy shop:


Anna is the brains behind this operation and has a lot of great tutorials and projects on her blog. She has also started selling her patterns in her etsy shop. I got the All Squared Up quilt pattern and also the Totebag pattern. I am dying to use them -- they are great patterns. I love it when someone else does all the measurements and math! (too much math involved in sewing and quilting - wouldn't you agree?!)
 

She recently posted a tutorial for an adjustable apron, which I love.
Check it out HERE.

Now for the giveaway ... you can enter to win a Yards and Yards PDF pattern of your choice! And I'm also tossing in a $10 SewSara gift card to use in my etsy shop!

You can enter up to five times. Leave a separate comment for each, or it won't count. Thanks!

1- Leave a comment here telling me what pattern you'd choose from Anna's shop.
2- Follow Yards and Yards blog
3-  Follow my blog (SewSara)
4-  Like Yards and Yards on Facebook
5- Like SewSara on Facebook


good luck! we'll announce the winner next Monday, June 27th!


p.s. I posted about Max's birthday, too. What a crazy/fun weekend!

    It's a toss up, but if I had to choose I think I'd pick the All Squared Up quilt pattern. It looks like something that I might actually be able to do : )

    It's a toss up on which pattern I would choose. I really love the messenger bag, but I would have to choose the Heirloom Stocking Pattern because I promised stockings to a family member last year. Because they have one child and another on the way, I think it would be super fun to make four matching stockings for everyone in their family but use individualized embellishments for each person on thier own stocking.
