May Day Giveaway!!!

Hi everyone, I'm having my first giveaway. I'm part of the Sew,Mama,Sew! May Day Giveaway! I'm just so excited. I made a cute little purse with half a charm pack and 1 fat quarter. It's really cute. I designed it myself. I hope you all like it. It is a quilted purse. I used a lot of thread in this bag. But I like the effect it gives the bag. It has a zipper so that your belongings are nice and secure once inside and a nice long strap so that you can wear it across your shoulder. I used a button that I got at the local thrift shop. It was the perfect color and size. I'm also giving a Moda "Cotton Blossoms" charm pack with it. This is the same charm pack I used to make the bag. So how do you win this bag and charm pack?



1) Leave a comment on this post

2) Make sure that I can reach you, by leaving your email address or that I can link to you through your blog. If I cannot reach you, I will remove the entry and draw someone else.

3) Everyone can participate, as I will ship the prize anywhere in the world.

4) The giveaway is open until May 31st.

5) The winner will be randomly drawn and announced on June 1st.

6) If you become a follower I will give you a second entry. Leave me another comment letting me know that you are a follower.
This is a lot of fun. I hope you go check out all the blogs that are having giveaway's for the May Day Giveaway! Just hit the link below to see who else is participating. The list will be provided on May 27, 2009 at 9:00am EST. Happy Stitching!!

Ariane :o)
