Guest Blogging at !Sew We Quilt! and Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Greetings!  Madame Samm is doing a month-long segment about can't-sew-without-it tools.  Today, I'm guest blogging over at !Sew We Quilt! with a tutorial about the CutRite Bind Up tool. 

Check it out, and then come back and enter my giveaway to win one for your very own sewing room.  It's a miracle tool that will help you to end your quilt bindings with a perfectly mitred seam.  Don't believe it?  Well, prepare to join the ranks of Binding Believers.  (For you, lifetime membership is absolutely free!)

I'll just wait right here while you check out my tutorial.  (Cue Final Jeopardy music.)

So what do you need to do to win your own CutRite Bind Up Tool?  Very simple.  First of all, I want to thank Mark at Quilter's Paradise who was generous enough to sponsor this giveaway.  To enter do one of the following:

This one is mandatory:

1.  Visit the Quilter's Paradise website and take a look at the products they offer.  Be sure to spend some time looking at the many useful laser-cut kits and acrylic templates and rulers that they manufacture on site.  Don't miss the free-to-use quilt calculators, favorite links, and free patterns.  Then come back and leave a comment telling me something that caught your eye there and how it would help you in your sewing.  Please be specific.

You can gain optional extra entries by doing any or all of the following:

2.  Sign up for the Quilter's Paradise Newsletter, then come back and tell me that you did for one extra entry.

3.  Be a follower of my blog and leave a comment telling me that you are.

4.  Post any one of my buttons on your own blog and leave a comment telling me that you did.

I'll leave this giveaway open until Sunday, January 15, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time).  Then I'll chose a number at random and announce the winner on my blog.  Winner will be notified via email, so be sure to leave me a valid email address.  You'll have three days to respond, and then I'll choose another winner.

Good luck!
