Sara (Lotus Bag)

Aunt Spicy (Mystery Bird Quilt – thanks for being willing to bind it!)
Jennifer (Lindie Bag)
Kathy (Chemisette Handbag)
What fun! I really should go through my stuff more often! Thanks for playing along!
************************
Someone mentioned that I might want to sell some of this stuff on Etsy. Truth is, if I’m going to accept $ for something it has to be pretty near perfect. So many of these items have “issues”. I also don’t feel right about selling things that I’ve used. So I’m left with a lot of stuff. Hopefully they’ll go to a loving home!
Originally I was going to give each item it’s own post, but that’s just going to take way too much time. And it seems cruel to make you comment a bunch of times if you want something. So here goes – everything else I want to give away is in this post…
#2 The Lotus bag. I like this bag, I really do, but quite honestly I have too many bags and this is one of my most rarely used ones.
Description: Made with Amy Butler’s Lotus fabric, lined with Denyse Schmidt’s Flea Market Fancy. Two pockets. Leather straps
Disclaimer: Gently used, will need to be ironed upon arrival because I plan on cramming this into a small box. :o)
#3 The Flirty Skirty Bag 
Description: Made out of a clearanced skirt. Lined with canvas. 2 pockets. Leather straps.
Disclaimer: The skirt’s slip is sewed up kinda lamely. Somehow the 2 pockets ended up at different heights.
#4: Mystery Quilt
My next pattern is a quilt. This is as much as I’m going to show of it. :o) The winner of this quilt has to promise not to show it on their blog until AFTER the pattern is released.
Description: Mystery quilt with a bird on it.
Disclaimer: I’m not proud of my quilting on this one. It is NOT bound and will need to be bound. I also didn’t do a good job with the backing fabric – it doesn’t go well. Hmmm…is anyone going to actually want this one?
#5: One of the original Lindie Bags
Description: Small bag – great for someone without kids, or a little girl. Amy Butler’s Charm fabric on the exterior. Button closure.
Disclaimer: I carried this bag quite a bit, but when I changed wallets, it was too big for this bag. It will need a good pressing upon arrival.
#6: Chemisette handbag prototype
This was made before the final design change for the pattern. I didn’t like how the straps came off of the bag.
Description: New. Gathered top, magnetic closure, 2 interior pockets.
Disclaimer: None, except that I changed the design.
:o)
So that’s it! First random commenter will get their choice. 2nd can pick from what’s left and so on.
I’m from Singapore, and really enjoy reading your page!
Anyway, I do like the mystery quilt (#4) a lot, any chance for that to be shipped to Sg? =)
Oh please enter me into this one too! I’d love the quilt, looks very cute from the little peak. I can bind a quilt. 🙂
I love the Lotus Bag…it’s gawgus!
Love the quilt and bags!
I would love either # 2, 6, or 5 (in that order 🙂 )
I will have a hard time choosing between all these goodies if I get picked!
I like it all! I wish I had your creative touch.
I would love either # 5 or 6! :O)
Such fabulous goodies! I love a good mystery!! The quilt is quite intriguing. And anything red like the lotus bag? How can you go wrong?
I’d love the quilt!
Very cute handbags. I can’t imagine why you would think they aren’t perfect.
If international bloggers can participate, then I’m in. I love your Lotus bag. It’s really cute!
I’m in love with bag number 1!!! Love that Lotus!! Seriously!!
I would love to enter this giveaway.
Thanks,

Lovely! Thanks for the opportunity to win some great stuff!
I would love to have the mystery quilt!!
OhOh! Count me in too please! You have beautiful things, and they’re far FAR more advanced than anything I could make myself!
Oh my… this is insane 🙂
I just love everything on these pictures…
Oh my…what choices!! I am really crossing my fingers for the mystery quilt!! 🙂
Oh! You can never have too many bags can you?? I would looooove to win one of these. Although. I have to admit I am really curious about the quilt too..
I never make bags, only clothes, but winning one can perhaps inspire me to new deeds!
love it all!!!
Hello Again, Oh I do hope I win! I love your site and would take some great pictures to put on my blog of anything that I win! Take Care- Kashoan
everyone has already commented and claimed, but that mystery quilt looks beautiful – I won’t believe that it isn’t amazing. Although I love birds so maybe I’m a little biased.
Crossing my fingers….Im not picky…I love it all! 🙂
I love all your patterns .. beautiful!!
I would love any of them, but I guess i am a bit late!
I think I am late, but I’d love the quilt or the lotus bag. I love your other stuff as well.
Oooh, the quilt is really looking cute and there is nothing perfect in my house…it would fit right in.
My fave’s in order are 4, 2, 6, 5
I love the mystery quilt. I like the Lindie bag but my husband puts way to much stuff in my purse. Now I know what my mom felt like when my brother and I were kids and she had to tote all of our stuff and our dad’s stuff. No wonder she carried such large purses.
I would be happy to get any one of these items – thank you for sharing!
I would LOVE any of the above!!!!! I still can’t believe you are getting rid of such “Great & Cute” stuff! Again, thanks for the opportunity to win it!
I am sure it is all spoken for by now but just wanted to say what a fabulous give away! Thanks for sharing your goodies with us!
What great stuff!
Oh my goodness, what a great giveaway! I’d be happy to win any of the items up for grabs. Thanks for the chance to win!
I like the mystery quilt and the lotus bag
Love the blog!! Great giveaway!!!
I think the purses are fabulous. And I don’t mind imperfections. 🙂
I have purchased patterns from you before and I think your work is beautiful. I love this blog, and this giveaway.
this is so much fun!! hope to get a pick. thanks. 🙂
I like #1 and #2 the best. This is a great idea. I have several things that I’ve made that are awesome but have some small flaw or something I don’t quite like. I’ve been throwing them in the basement when I don’t need them for myself. Maybe I’ll try to give them away soon!
Thanks for the giveaway! My fingers are crossed : )
Hi, I’ve read everyone of your posts for a long time now and I absolutely love your work! I ADORE a lot of these items and would really, really like to win one. I live in New Zealand though, but could help pay postage.
I can’t believe how generous you are! If by some miracle I do win, I live in France, so I’m not sure if that means I’m still in the running. I could help with shipping or something!
All I can say is WOW! …oh ya, and that my chances of winning are increased because there is SO MUCH to give away! you’re quite generous!
Being pretty near to imperfect myself, means that I would pretty well fit any of these cute items. Im in New Zealand though, so not sure how that stacks up. Should I be unsuccessful then I will still loyally follow you… 🙂 Cheers Liz
I would love the Lotus bag. I understand the need for perfection, but everything I’ve seen on your blog is beautiful.
I like all your crafty things! I am curious about the mystery quilt though. I’d love to enter your give away. Thanks! 🙂
ooh, a quilt!!! Thanks for all your craftiness!
Oh me! Pick me!
love the quilt! and bags!
What a fun giveaway! Great stuff
I love your stuff!!
Hope I am one of the five! Thanks, Julie

I love the Lotus bag and all the other purses. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway.
Poo I’m too late. I’m very interested to see the Mystery Quilt.
Ooh, enter me, please! I love the Lotus bag.
Wow! What a great giveaway. I’ve loved your Chemisette handbag from the first time you posted it. Thanks for the chance to enter. I’ve been reading you from afar for some time now.
Awesome, look at all those Craft Apple originals! 🙂 Thanks for the generosity, and thanks for the inspiration to clean out my own closets. Happy New Year!
Oh how lovely! I hope I get one of these lovelies!
WOW! You are so awesome for doing this! How fun! I LOVE LOVE that lotus handbag! Everything about it is wonderful! Plus, how fun to have a bag with such character! Also, I love the quilt!
All of it is just lovely, but boy could I sure use a new bag!
–andy
What a lovely giveaway! Please count me in 🙂
There’re all so cute! Keeping my fingers crossed!
I wish I had people lined up to nab my used goodies! Brilliant idea. I love the hand bags and the quilt is definitely adorable from what we can see.
I have tons of bags myself, but almost no quilts (I give them all away). I love the little bird. I’m sure your quilting is just fine. We beat ourselves up over that kind of stuff too much.
Those are great bags! I like the mystery bird.
I LOVE the Lotus bag! The others are cute too! (And I can’t wait to see more of that quilt!)
What a great giveaway!!! I LOVE the bags and quilt!
The little birdie is just TOO cute – I’ve been smitten since you first posted the poor little wingless-eyeless mite.
Please enter me into your drawing… heck, I’d even take it as a UFO!!
I’m sure that your worse quilting is still a thousand times better than my best 😀
interesting assortment!
Ohhh – so hard to pick. How lucky we all are!
Woohoo! All of this looks great!
count me in, thanks!
What a generous giveaway! Please count me in!
So many beautiful things! :o)
These are all fabulous. I would love to be included!
My goodness. I’m just dying to see that quilt. I hope I win that! LOL I’m too nosy.
Wow, your four lucky winners are seriously lucky people! I’d love #6 or #4. I can’t wait to see the rest of the quilt pattern!
Hey Linda, I’d like to try and finish that quilt…I’m on a quilting run these days!
oh wow … what a great giveaway. I would be thrilled to win any one of these great items. Thanks for the chance. Come on random generator – pick my number
Oooh, I love those! My first choice would be #6, then #4. I hope I win!!
Keeping my fingers crossed…
It’s so kind of you to be willing to give these things away. I love them all! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed! 🙂
Cute stuff! Thanks for sharing!
They are all quite cute…that bird on the quilt is so wonderful!
i’d love to win any of thesee cuite purses!
The Lotus bag– Swoon! But yeah, I’m echoing others in that any of those would be so awesome to win. *crossing fingers*
Nice giveaway you are so talented.
I would love to win any of those items!
I would be happy with anything!
Oh wow, so many lovely things – how is one supposed to choose??!!! How exciting!
Pick me, I will enjoy and use any of them. 🙂 I am giving away some yarn on my site, interested???
Really? Seriously you are giving away a quilt? I can already tell I adore #4 “Mystery-Quilt-Extrodinaire”! That bird is just perfect! Scout’s honor that I will: 1) bind the quilt in a fabric to unite the front and back (though seeing your work, I am sure they work very well together) 2) not post the quilt on my blog till you give the a-ok (though the anticipation may be torture), and 3) to love the quilt, curl up with it often, and let it warm up the room! Gosh, my fingers are crossed!
Either 2, 4 or 6 for me. What wonderful items to be given away. I understand your feelings about how something must be perfect…I must have a stash of 10 wonderful, perfectly lovely items that have imperfections too.
WOW what a clean out! i would love to be receive any of your fantastic creations, fingers crossed!
It all looks wonderful. And you could still sell your items on etsy even with the flaws. It’s about the Amish stitch, you know.
You are so generous to give these things away! Hope that I am one chosen, and if not, congrats to those who are!
Beth
I’d love to win any of them – you’re so talented 🙂 I don’t even mind binding the quilt myself 🙂
I love the lotus bag. I just found your blog and I am really enjoying and learning from it. Thanks.
The quilt really has me intrigued!
I love them all. I’d be honored to have one {but I’m especially excited about the quilt pattern!}
Look at all your comments! That must make you smile! Congrats…
me like 5!
Can’t believe that I could be one to win something from you…especially the quilt or the bags especially the last bag….But I am hoping with all fingers crossed. 🙂
I love that you’re spring cleaning already and that we get to bennefit from it.
well hopefully.
Oh, this is so fun. Hope I win!
If it is imperfect then I can pretend I made it. 😉
I’d feel privileged to become the owner of anything you have crafted. I like that you are so humble as to declare faults probably only you can see. However I’m a long long way away and I don’t expect to win, shipping would be too dear, but it’s a lovely idea anyway.
Take care

Jen
Wow – what a wonderful idea. I hope I win!
thats a really good idea to empty up some space to make more 😀
i love it all!
I love it all– but especially that bird quilt.
Ooh! That’s just about the best grouping of giveaway items I can imagine. My fingers are crossed, but i don’t know what I’d pick. I hope I end with that dilemma! Thanks!
Carolyn
I’d love ANY of your pieces – no matter how “imperfect” they are!! Please enter me in your very generous drawing!!
I love the lotus bag and the quilt.. Your blog is awesome I love reading it!

I’m interested in that bird, despite your misgivings. He is just too cute! And what a fun way to clean up your place, thanks for the chance!
hmmm…i really like all of the options, but of course my interest lies in seeing this mystery quilt…

Oh what fun!
Please enter me. I love your lotus bag and my second choice would be the Chemisette handbag prototype.
Thank you
I’d love to win!
Cute bags. I would love to have one. 🙂
I’m too late, I think. I’ve loved the lotus bag since you posted it the first time, but would be happy with anything made by your hands! Hope you had a happy new year and can’t wait to read what you do in 2009!
I love the birdie on the quilt. You’d have my promise not to show it on a blog because I don’t even have a blog!!! My sister’s having a girl after two boys and the sneak peak of the quilt looks like it would be perfect for a little girl. My Mom would happily bind it. I really think I’m too late… I love your work!
Probably too late also….would love the lotus bag or that cute birdie quilt!!
i would love to enter in this contest! is this the only thing that i need to do is leave a comment! i would pick any of the things that you are giving away! they are awesome! i guess my number one thing would be the bird quilt – my daughter’s bedroom is done in birds!
you are very generous! everything looks wonderful.
Love the fabrics on #6!
I love everything. It would be so awesome. What a great surprise if I do win!!
Thanks such a great giveaway.
Would love to win any of your handmade items. Your website has inspired me to get back to sewing. Thanks!

They’re all so lovely–what a difficult choice it would be! Thanks for the chance!
What a neat giveaway idea!! I can’t wait to see who wins these!
longtime lurker, first time commenter:) When I decided I would like to learn to sew and quilt yours was one of the first sewing blogs I added to my bloglines. I was sucked it hook line and sinker when I saw all the wonderful purses and bags you had on there. I’m am now very curious to know what the rest of the bird quilt looks like.
Cooooooool giveaway 🙂 Count me in for sure 🙂

You have a lot of comments so I don’t think I am in the running but I love all your items. I’d especially love to have the Lotus Bag or Mystery Quilt…honestly I’ve never owned a handmade quilt. Isn’t that sad?
Wowzers that is a lot of comments already! 🙂 Well I would love to be included in the giveaway for the mystery quilt 🙂 I love that little bird! (And I promise not to show the quilt until you give the okay 🙂
I am suffering from a lack of cute bags, so I would LOVE to win!
I’d be happy to win any of them. Thanks for the giveaway! (and I also promise to keep the bird caged until the release of the pattern 🙂
We would gladly accept your mystery quilt for our Hugs Ministry. We make quilts, pair them with a stuffie and give them to the local fire and sheriffs departments for kids in crisis situations. Those kids don’t care about perfection, only the fact that someone did something for them. Thank you for the opportunity. Take care and God bless, Cory
Wow! I would love the quilt! It looks gorgeous!

How wonderful that you would want to give up some of your things so that others could enjoy them. i would be delighted, honored and feel blessed to have won any of the selections. I will be hoping.
