It's giveaway day! Thanks to Sew Mama Sew for organizing and hosting this twice-a-year extravaganza. I don't know about you, but I've been exercising my mouse finger for weeks, getting it in shape for all those clicks.
So what do I have to giveaway today? It's a 9 fat quarter bundle of Poppy Primitiva by Jane Dixon for Andover Fabrics.
Aren't these bright and fun? They'll make something beautiful to welcome Spring. To win them, here's what you need to do:
1. Leave a comment: Tell me your favorite holiday season tradition. Is it spending time with family? Decorating the tree? Looking at lights? Visits from Santa? Visions of sugar plums?
2. Followers, new or salty, can leave a second comment for an extra chance to win.
That's it! Short and sweet. Chance of winning significantly increased if you leave your email in your comment. No way to contact you equals no chance to win. I'm looking at you, Google+ users. You may have been a reply blogger at one time, but not any more. Click here and scroll down for a tutorial about how to fix it.
I will ship internationally, and so this giveaway is open to anyone residing in the Milky Way galaxy. (Fine print: delivery to Saturn's rings not guaranteed.) I will keep the comments open for one week...until Saturday, December 8, at 11:59 p.m., and announce the winner on Sunday, December 9th. Good luck!

My favourite tradition used to be wassailing around local pubs raising money for charity. When rehearsals started in November, I really felt like Christmas was on the way. Sadly I've moved away from the area and can't go any more, so I'm going to have to say drinking mulled wine while we decorate the tree.

I have to confess that since we moved to the southern hemisphere las year, Christmas traditions fell through. It still seems to confusing to me to be gearing up for summer, eating cherries, ending the school year, etc, all during the run-up for Christmas. So I still really need to go and get a tree up and decorated at least fast! Even christmas songs make no sense right now.
I am glad I found your blog, that is the beauty of the SMS big week of giveaways I guess. New follower now.
We like to drive through the neighborhoods and look at the lights and luminaries.
Thanks for the giveaway! Fave holiday traditions... probably cookie baking and consumption of said cookies!
