Today marks the start of another amazing Quilter's Blog Hop Party! After you leave here check out the link for a whole bunch more giveaways :)
I'll share some photos on things I have been working on lately. Mostly they are small items as I have a craft show coming up this coming Saturday.
These are just some small key chains. I like having something small and affordable for little kids to buy for their parents, babysitters etc. Plus, they are great for using up small scraps of fabric and batting!
These are sets of mini facecloths, good for a quick nighttime cleaning.
And these are some more tea towels (before I stitched them down)
But now... you want the giveaway!!!! Here you go!
FIVE half yards of Patty Young, Textured Basics!!
All you have to do is let me know if you name your sewing machine(s) and if so, what are their names? Mine are Jennie Janome and Pfilomena Pfaff. I won't include you if you ignore my question, and/or if you are a no-reply blogger! I will announce the winner on November 26th :)
Now go forth and enter many more giveaways!!
Eee I love your fabric giveaway selection - YUM! My sewing machine is a Toyota and he is called Mr Toyota! Not very original but it suits him as he looks like he is from the 1970's/1980's - all cream, brown and orange!
ReplyDelete"Bernie" has been my faithful friend since 1996. He is a Bernina 1080 and I wouldn't give him up for anything! Thanks for a chance at those lovely fabrics!
ReplyDeleteBonnie and Bitsy and Bertha, are all of the Brother family - Fern Featherweight joined the clan last year.
ReplyDeleteMy machine is a Viking Ruby and her name is her majesty -- it was going to be Dorothy but her temperament at times is bratty and entitled so she got the name her majesty instead. I also have a traveling machine (Hello Kitty) called baby Jade
ReplyDeleteI have an Elna, but I really don't have a name for her. Love your giveaway, thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThe giveaway fabrics are awesome - love the colours in that line!
ReplyDeleteI haven't named my sewing machine, but I don't like it very much, so maybe that's why! I don't know why I don't like it, except that it's incredibly basic and I want more space for quilting in it, but it keeps on chugging, so I can't justify getting rid of it to buy something new. I'd probably like it better if it'd just finally break down and quit working! (My phone is named Babette, after the artificial intelligence character in the tv version of jPod, so I'm not totally averse to naming the machinery in my life.)

My Horizon is named Renny (The Fox) because it's red. My new travel machine, a Magnolia, doesn't have a name yet.
ReplyDeleteI have not named my sewing machine. Just not something i do.
ReplyDeletei don't name my sewing machines.
ReplyDelete(love those mustache towels, btw! good luck with your craft show)
I haven't named my sewing machine. It just isn't something I do (I've never named cars, phones, etc either).
ReplyDeleteMy Bernina's name is Bernie...not very original, but we have a wonderful relationship nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteI haven't named my machines, but maybe I will.
ReplyDeleteNope don't name my machine, I don't know if its boy or girl. (Just haven't had the courage to ask)
ReplyDeleteI have not named my Janome. I always remember the brand because it starts with the first letter of my name. Thanks for the opportunity. Love your projects.
ReplyDeleteNo, my sewing machines haven't got names. There are far too many of them, and they are all older than me, so it would be a bit impertinent on my part.
ReplyDeleteBerneenee Bernina, Jenny Janome and Fannie Featherweight. My SUV is Elvira...dressed in black and big headlights, Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't name my sewing machines. But one says "Janome" on it and one says "Tin Lizzie" so I guess they were already named when I got them!
ReplyDeletewhen i got my new machine this year i decided to give it a name - Gilbert as in Anne of Green Gables. :)
ReplyDeleteMy sewing machine is named Nina the Bernina. Thanks for the giveaway! =)
ReplyDeleteGee, I haven't named any of my sewing machines. I guess I better put my t
ReplyDeleteNo I have never named any of my sewing machines :-( Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDoes calling my machine Dammit count? If not, then no I don't have a name for my machine...LOL.
ReplyDeleteSadly, mine is just name, viking. maybe i should call her hiccup. :) thanks for the giveaway~
ReplyDeleteHmmm...my main machine is just called 'my singer' since it's a Singer machine...and then I have an old, vintage one which is just the 'grandma' lol!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! ;)
I call mine Judi the Juki. Not terribly creative, but my last machine didn't even get a name! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI don't name my machines although I am very possessive about them and kinda twinge when anybody else talks about a Bernina or a featherweight because they are MY Bernina and MY featherweight. Maybe that's their names, MY. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing machine is a old Singer model 298 which is originally my moms and she no longer sew so it's a gift from her. I haven't thought of giving a name to my machine but I guess I'll call it "Old McDonald"
ReplyDeleteThank u for the chance to win. I don't have a name for my sewing machine
ReplyDeleteI don't have a name for my sewing machine. She's not quite a year old and is a BabyLock Symphony. I've considered naming her but can't come up with anything clever. I'm open to suggestions though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I just call my machines 15-91 (that is the make of my singer.....and since I have more than one they come 1591-2 or 15-91-3. LOL For some reason I have never really named them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous and fabulous prize. My berninas are Lucy, Willie and Sparky. My longarm is Pete! Not sure why most of them are boys. Maybe it's the way they behave at times.
ReplyDeleteLike someone else said, I guess the first name of both of them is "My". When we got the 2nd machine, my husband asked if I was going to get rid of the first one...what a goofy question! That is "MY" machine, the first one I bought with MY very own money and it will be with me forever. I'm glad you are thinking of the kids being able to buy some presents, so many people overlook the kids wanting to buy their own gifts. Best wishes with your show.
ReplyDeleteMine is named Susie Janome I love her Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI haven't named mine...probably because I'm hoping to upgrade soon. Maybe I will name the new one....
ReplyDeleteI never thought to name mine! Hmm, gonna have to fix that. I have a Janome, which I love, but wouldn't even be able to decide whether to pick a girl or boy's name. Gorgeous crafty items!
ReplyDeleteemily@thecaffeinatedquilter.com
I have a Janome that's only about a month or 2 old. I'm still waiting for the perfect name to "speak" to me!!

ReplyDelete13 yrs ago a friend and I both purchased berninas:) hers is Nina and mine is Bernie! dfnanney@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have not named my sewing machine, she is a Singer and was a gift from hubby and the boys last Christmas. She isn't fancy, but she has made lots of lovely things... If my family were to name her they would probably call her the Mom-Napper, because she definitely causes me to disappear on a regular basis and neglect my duties as a wife, mom, cook, etc :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't named any of my machines yet, but they do get sent to the corner when they don't behave :)
ReplyDeleteI have 2 Berninas and a Brother but have not named them. I must admit that I have called them names at times! Thank you for your giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI do name my sewing machines. I have Sophie and Susie Q. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have two sewing machines but haven't named them. Hmmmm, maybe I should work on that. Since they are Brother machines maybe one should be named David....for my brother!

Never thought to name my machines. I might actually have to think about that now. I have a Janome Memory Craft and a Brothers Sewing and Quilting. Thanks for the opportunity to win something.
ReplyDeleteWOW - you have challenged me- I never thought naming my sewing machine- I have 2 Singers- one is older so I'll call her "oldy" and the quantom- maybe I'll call her quilty :) Because that what she does best (and most :)- Thanks for the inspiration and for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove those little keys - clever idea!
ReplyDeleteSo I just got a new sewing machine (like a week ago) - a Bernina. I'm terrible at naming inanimate objects but my kids think it should be called "Lovely" or "Beautiful". I'm guessing those are the words I used most during the unpacking of the new machine ;)
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have never thought about naming them. But I could give it a try. I would call my Brother as my sister and my Elna as my swiss girl
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway! Mine are all named :) my 1980 Viking is Sylvia, my Janome is Ivan the Terrible, and my little featherweight is named after my great grandmother Tyne! My daughter has a 1958 Singer she name Coco after Coco Chanel. Thanks again!

ReplyDeleteI have three names for you: one is Ms. Dammiaans, it's an old Pfaff machine; one is The Big One, that is a Pfaff quilting machine and the third one is named Inge, it is an Adler.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving the chance to win.
My sewing machine is named Lily (she came with that name) and my Avante is named Mrs. Biggins because she is soooo big, she is set up at 12' right now.
ReplyDeleteBarb@Witsend
I have two machines and never thought to name them, other than the not very polite names that run through my head when things go wrong! I'll have to think of a good name for my Janome now.
ReplyDeleteMy machine is affectionately named Jazzy Janome! She's my newest machine & my other is a Kenmore but I didn't name her. She feels left out, but that's what you get when you misbehave! Thanks for a chance at the give-away.

I don't name my machines...although I think it is a fun idea, just like naming your car!
ReplyDeleteOh i haven't named my machine(s) but I do call my studio space the "sweat shop" Your fabric selection is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing machine is an Alfa and I named La Maquina.Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteI like the key chain idea. I just might make some of those for the kids teachers. I have not named my machines, but mine is just a basic 25 year old white bought at JC Penny that has sewed it's last seam last week.
ReplyDeleteThe other machine that came into my life two years ago, I just call Grandma's because my mom gave it to me and it belonged to my Step Dad's mom. I am the only sewer in the family and she thought would appreciate it (a Singer from the late '60's or early '70's) Now I just might name it Cora, after my grandma.
Oh, great gift ideas! I especially like the keychain fobs - so cute.
ReplyDeleteI sew on a Singer 15-91 named Belle and have a Featherweight named Beyoncé, a Singer 201 named Fancy... while my Janome MC 7500 is nameless. LOL
I really love those keyrings! I have a Brother named Betsy. She drives me crazy sometimes. And an un-named Juki. I haven't yet found her personality as she is new.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing machine is called Monkey :D

msstitcher1948@yahoo.com
hi from BC. i call my machine 'my little brother'. yes i have a small Brother PRW PC10 lol. he's small and simple but i do everything on him, even free motion quilting, but i dream of having a big brother, a Juki loll
ReplyDeleteI love that people name their machines (and their furniture) but I've never named it although I often refer to it as The Beast or The Monster just because of it's size! I love all the little items you've made for sale. I think it is terrific that you've made small, creative and affordable items that children can purchase as gifts. And your fabric give-away is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI only have one machine and I didn't name her. What cute items you've made. svonfumetti(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeleteNice giveaway. I haven't named any of my machines (four right now and counting) but I do decorate them with decals.
ReplyDeleteI have several machines, but only one has a name. It is "Bernie", my Bernina.
ReplyDeleteI name my machines so DH knows which one needs a little TLC. I have Rita a featherweight from 1941, Scarlet another featherweight which was a barn find and DH refurbished and painted my favorite color red. I have Marilyn and Dinah two 301's, Jane a Singer 500A, Millie, and Colleen two Japanese Machines styled after the Singer Model 15s, Sophia a Singer 99K, Essie a treadle which I got from my great grandmother I think she is a 126, Flora which is an antique White Rotary, Hedy a Singer 128 Blackside, Nora a Franklin which was manufactured by white, Lise which is a Singer model 15, baby which is my original singer 1425N I bought when my girls were little, and Astrid my Husqvarna/Viking which is use to free motion quilt on. I have some new acquisitions that DH have found for me for free, but they have not been cleaned up and sewn on yet.
ReplyDeleteI haven't named my machine. It is a Brother embroidery/sewing machine and I love it, but just can't seem to
ReplyDeletefind the right name for it.
I name all my electronics except my sewing machine. I think it's because she gave me so much trouble over the years that I didn't want to feel close to her by giving her a name.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful prize! Years ago I had an old Pfaff 130 in a power stand that I used to take to craft fairs; she was known and loved as "Bertha!" I sew with a home Pfaff machine now, and she is not named - yet.
ReplyDeleteYep. Named my Janome Gerry and the Singer Sally!
ReplyDeleteMy poor Kenmore machine remains nameless. Your keychains are a great idea. Thanks for a great giveaway. .. those fabrics would be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I do not feel that I have connected with my sewing machine on that kind of level yet, and as such, it remains nameless.
ReplyDeletePretty lame names here... The brother, the Babylock, and the featherweight ..... Told you, lame-o
ReplyDeleteNo names here, I'm afraid. I feel a great deal of affection for all three of them (especially the featherweight), but I guess I'm just not a namer. I didn't give my dress form a name either.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric!! I have not named my machine either. It's fairly new , so haven't spent all the much time with it yet. Since I work full time and babysit grandkids on days off, I don't have as much time as I wish with my friend. Thanks so much for the chance to win. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeletecraftyccain@gmail.com
I haven't named my machines. Just janome and singer and pfaff and featherweight.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric giveaway is really amazing, those colors pop.
I've a Viking sapphire, the dream machine. should I ever decide to name it, i'd name it after my aunt vina to lived to be a hundred. i'm almost there!
ReplyDeleteFabulous giveaways: yes please!!
ReplyDeleteMy machines actually don't have names - my older one is one I learned to sew on and is a sturdy singer; the second one is a portable second hand Bernina (rather faded) beauty...
So I guess you could say that is how I think of them.... named in the head..?
Barbmo
I only have one sewing machine a Pfaff and after 3 years it remains nameless :-(
ReplyDeleteI call my Bernina "Nina". Original, huh?
ReplyDeleteHello from St. John's, NL. I have several sewing machines but none have names. I may call one of them a name if something doesn't go right !
ReplyDeleteI call mine the tank because it runs like one. We go a long ways back and I wouldn't want to part with him.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 machines, one goes to quilting classes, the other one stays at home and does the work at home. I'm from Winnipeg Mb.
ReplyDeleteI don't name my sewing machines. But since it is a brother. I often play off that-- Just spending the day with my brother. My favorite brother kept me busy today..etc

ReplyDeleteI have two baby lock machines: Jane and Grace - not really inspired as those were their given names (I.e. Models) when I adopted them :-)
ReplyDeletePretty fabric...thanks for the giveaway. I don't have names for my machines... Is that bad? ;)
ReplyDeleteWEll, my husband thinks that my machine is called, "just hold on Girl" because my machine has been close to a break down permanently for about a year, but I only paid like $130 (USD) for it so its hard for me to take it into a shop.
ReplyDeleteI currently dont have a name for my machine... now my other machine.. my daughter nicknamed "silly head" which then became "sally" because it never worked.
ReplyDeleteMy Bernina's nickname is Bernie (this was also a nick name given to my mother-her name was Bernadine)
ReplyDeleteI do'nt have a name for my old Singer (25 years). Should I? lia.vandenbrand@live.nl
ReplyDeleteI have never thought of giving my sewing machine a name. May be I should?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win the lovely fabrics!
My Pfaff (daily sewing machine) does not have a name unless it is misbehaving and then it is called names that are not ok to write anywhere!! I have a number of machines and only one has a name but that is because the model name is Vanessa - so it is called Vanessa. I also have a Necchi SuperNova, Pfaff 2040, SInger from 1915 and another from 1906.
ReplyDeleteMiss Elna demands love and respect and she gets it!

ReplyDeletejleibfried@aol.com
I don't name mine :/ It's a Janome. Maybe Thor? After one of my much-loved cats who passed away.
ReplyDeleteMy Sweet B. Its a Bernette. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a name for my Janome, but every time I hear someone with a creative name I think I should name her! It is a her though, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI don't name my machines- unless they are bad and I won't tell what their name is then. Thank you for participating in the blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI don't name my machine but the names of your machines are very funny :) thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteI usually call my sewing machine not so nice names!
ReplyDeleteI do not have names for them except singer, brother, janome. I haven't ever named my car or anything either.
ReplyDeletewe name our cars, but I've never named my sewing machine....it's a Bernina so maybe Berny.
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't have a name. It's not even a she/he. It's a Husqvarna, perhaps I should name it a good lumberjack name lol
ReplyDeleteI have a Jenome - no name though.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

peggy_verdongibbs@att.net
I have a Riccar. It doesn't have a name though I have been know to call it names if it is misbehaving. ll_gee at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteHaven't named my brother yet. Poor thing :(
ReplyDeleteI call my machine Janome Gal! Hmm we call my dog Cassie Girl! Wonderful giveaway! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteMy 26 year-old Bernina is "Trusty" because we've been making quilts together for all those years and she hasn't failed me once! Thanks for hosting. pbstrand@msn.com
ReplyDeleteNo name here,,,yet.
ReplyDeleteI Sew on a Juki TL98 and I hate to say it but I haven't given her a name:( I don't want her to be a Judy and Just haven't ever given it a thought. She is just the best though:) Maybe I should call her Tina Louise!!! What do you think???
ReplyDeleteI just bought by Janome 7700 used yesterday. I found the name Bunny on the inside of the manual. It might have been the previous owner's name but I think it might stick as the name of my machine!
ReplyDeleteI sew on a Bernina but do not have a pet name but I can think of a word starting with 'B' that is used when it does terrible things and does not perform well. Love your selection of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteTo funny, I have a Janome as well and my baby is called "Sweetheart". I do love her!
ReplyDeleteI have an old lady of a sewing machine. A lewenstein, and I call her loekie. Thanks for a chance to win
ReplyDeleteI called mine "My Baby"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
WHOA! Look at all of your commentors! I like the idea that you have things for little kids to get their parents. I have named my machines, but I can't remember what the names of the FW's are (guess you can tell how much I call them by their names, LOL!) Alyssa bought the first one, so I will say her name is Joy because that's Lyss's middle name and the other is something that means green cos she is... it was a stone. I think it was Celadine. My new one is Jerrica Janome... I do call her that. I love your giveaway, but you don't have to include me... I just wanted to comment. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet! But I named my 2 clarinets in HS. Clarie and Woodie (bc he was made of wood). Thanks for the chance to win :) (and the reminder to come up with the perfect name!) ksmith8@emich.edu
ReplyDeleteI always think about naming them ... sometimes I never get around to settle on a name .. it's just "granny's machine" mum's and mine and then we have the work horse (a huge industrial one that needs a special electric connection so i doubt it will move in with me anytime soon)... mum's and mine stay with me all the time .. so yeah my sewing amchiens are named after the former owners ... so I bet my mum does not know of her luck of being the ex-owner, I guess there will be some talk about returning it at some point ... they are all Pfaffs so staying with the brand name won't help much .. it's frustrating. I think one of them will be named Olga at one point but I can't decide which one .. so for now I will stay with granny's mum's and mine and not to forget the work horse...
ReplyDeleteI have two Janomes, neither of which has a name - how sad! Actually, I'm hoping to win a Lucey in the APQS giveaway, so I was thinking I should name the Janomes "L" names as well. My Janome MC 6000 would probably be Lena after my mother since it was her machine. Haven't thought of a name for the other one yet.
ReplyDeleteYummy giveaway fabrics - thank you! I have Mr. Juki (2010Q), Julia (Juki F600) and and Pfannie (Pfaff Quiltstyle). A year ago I just had my Pfaff with no name, but I figure multiples needed names. My 2010Q is so rugged he was all man right from the first stitch and I am "sew" in love with him!
ReplyDeleteMy Viking is named Helga - we spend a lot of time together!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I have named my cars, but not my machines. How about Benita Bernina and heather featherweight? Probably not real original, but it was off th cuff.
ReplyDeleteI haven't named mu sewing machine, but perhaps I should! It seems like a popular thing to do. :)
ReplyDeleteMine don't have names, I'm afraid. Thanks for the chance for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I actually never thought about naming it. I guess it's a her. She's a Huskystar so maybe Helga. She's husky and strong and that's awesome! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteI have a Janome that's 3 years new . Looks line I need to think of a name for her.
