giveaway mondays! week 2.

I'm still swimming in Farbenmix ribbon from last month's mega-Farbenmix giveaway. Though I'm sometimes greedy, I've won so much that I'm happy to share.

Our lady liberty winner for last week was Rie who said: The ribbon is awesome! It's so different from when I was a kid (a whole 25yrs ago) the fanciest ribbon back then was gingham ribbon! I still have a soft spot for gingham ribbon, Rie. I hope you enjoy the lady liberty and kokeshis headed your way. I'll send an email to get your details.

For week number 2, I've gathered some pink...



I've got a four pack of pink Farbenmix trims (2 meters of each), a Farbenmix birdy keychain and I've added in a fat quarter of Kokka pink & yellow pigs on linen. Balloons and cherries! The perfect little party.

Since there's a superhero or two on the ribbon, why don't you leave a comment answering this question:

If you could have just one crafty superpower what would it be? Would you be Super-Mega-French-Knot Girl who can twist and stab with ease? Or maybe Gluezilla, the greatest of all crafty binders?

  5. I think I would be some sort of free-motion quilting super hero...like the amazing quilt-shrinking woman who is able to shrink down huge king size quilts and quilt them with ease on her home machine.

    If I could be a crafty super power I would want to be Super-Binding-Woman! I always struggle with binding quilts, it would be nice to be super at it! :D

  14. My super-craft hero ability would be to do all the other things I do, besides crafting, as fast as a super hero could do. Dishes in a dash, laundry at the speed of light, grading at ground breaking speed, etc. This would allow me super-craft hero time to craft! ~Kelly

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'd have the power to baste quilts by thought-control alone. I would baste the quilt in mid-air so the dog wouldn't sit on it while I was at work.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  23. Fun Question. I would be "Quilterella" and I would have a fairy godmother to make all the new fabric lines appear and the animal kingdom would help me with the chores so I could sew all day! I would definitely NOT have the stepmother and sisters in my fairy tale though.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'd have to have some sort of meandering quilting super power since I cannot get that one down without any super powers yet. Please send a fairy to make it happen!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think I would have to be Super Womon of the WIP. All I would need to do would be use the superpowers to get all the WIP's finished.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'd love to be able to magically operate the sewing machine one handed while juggling a small child on my knee - and get the results from two handed non-"helped" sewing.

  27. My crafty super power would have to be to be able to not only knit properly, ahem, but to be able to knit without looking. I do love how lovely old ladies can just knit away with nary a peek.

    :)

  28. I would have mad quilt corner matching skills. All my points and corners would line up and put even the pickiest of piecers to shame. AWESOME ribbon btw.

  30. I would have the power to knit IN THE DARK!! Yes! I could knit while sitting beside my son's bed waiting for him to go to sleep. At the moment I just do pelvic floor exercises = B.O.R.I.N.G!

    p.s lovely to finally meet you yesterday lady! I was talking to my husband about your enormous pickles ;)

  31. Introducing "Light-tracer", she has the ability to trace and cut patterns at the speed of light - so then she can get onto the fun part - the sewing!
    I wish.
    Thanks for sharing the Farb love!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Think I would go for the ability to tidy up after my crafting - after all I'm not superhuman as it is ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I would love to be the Hexa-girl and have my special power to cut and piece perfect hexagons in no time at all. Love the pink ribbon with the pig-tailed girl!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would like the power to bind super fast.... perhaps my superhero name would be The Binding Bandit.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I would be Super Finisher Girl, faster than a speeding sewing machine, more powerful than stitch length number 1, able to leap huge piles of unfinished projects in a single bound, and able to finish all WIPs in a flash!

  45. I would be super quilter. My FMQ would be the envy of everyone.

  46. I would have the super power of time. I could create extra time so I could get more crafting done. And I'd be able to work on multiple things at once!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would love to be quick at cutting patterns and blocks so I could get down to the sewing! I want to win!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I would be super-tiny-sewer! I like to sew softies, but I find some of the small sewing (curves) difficult. Anyway, thanks for the giveaway. Your work is wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I would be "Pucker-free Freak"...my walking foot would perfectly handle the largest of quilts with never-a-pucker.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I would be the "Sewing Straight Quarter-inchey" cowgirl. My seams would be so perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I would have the superpower of seeing into the craft future, so that before I purchase something I know that I am actually going to use it or finish it. For example I have had a basket of wool and a crochet hook sitting there for over a year with the promise of learning to crochet. Think of all the time and money we would save ! But..... I do like collecting projects to for my 'one day' list !

    ReplyDelete
  52. I would have to be:

    Get-it-right-girl
    I sadly seem to make one mistake (at least) EVERY time I sew :( no matter how much prep/research/practise, I always stuff something up.

    if not that I'd be:
    Super-Straight-Stuff
    Even with a ruler I can' rule straight.

    I have so much going against me I am surprised I keep going :P

    ReplyDelete
  53. What a great question!

    Captain Completion - I have so many UFOs/WIPs it's pathetic. I'm a process person so once I've figured out how something works I quickly loose interest and move onto something new. The result . . . huge stacks of half finished things all over the place.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Flash Stitch Girl - whiping up quilts in a flash. To think I could finish all the hand pieced, hand quilted projects in my head.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Angie Applique, so that I could do instant, speedy appliques on my basic machine.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oh for me it would have to be Free-Stitch Flash!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would love to be Super Kawaii Krafter, who can design and sew all things cute!
    :)

  58. i'd have to be 'basic sewing master!' then i'd have all the basic sewing skills and know what stitchs to use for what!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Oooh great giveaway! I would have superduperfast accurate cutting skills. Once all the pieces are cut, sewing is fun! But for some reason I get nervous when I am about to cut into some fabric I love (and life is too short to work with fabric you don't!).

    ReplyDelete
  60. I would love to have the power to multiply me - one to measure, one to cut, one to sew, one to iron and another to cook, clean and look after the kids. The Farbenmix trims are so cute.

    ReplyDelete
  61. My superpower would be to have all the fabric just cut itself into the correct pieces needed for anything I am about to make.

    ReplyDelete
  62. i would like to be a januma sewing machine with a walking foot.
