Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

Aieeeeee!! Are you excited? Do you know how many bloggers are giving things away today over there?!? Get clickin'! And if you're coming here from there, welcome!

I don't know about all of you, but my morning does not begin until I have a hot caffeinated beverage in my hand (or, to be accurate, in my veins). And my evening doesn't wind down until I've had my nightly cup of tea. I'm sure you've heard all about the mug rug craze going on right now. I'll be honest--I didn't understand them at first. I thought "Oh. It's a coaster." But it's something else. It's a miniature quilt. It's a tiny piece of creativity. It's a way to show off some scraps that are just enough for something but not a very big something. And it's also a spot to keep your sweet treats while you're downing your cuppa. That's what made me want to crank a few out. I brought my tea into the living room one night with a few cookies, put my tea down on an ordinary coaster, and then thought "Oh! A mug rug! So my cookies can have a spot too!" Sometimes I'm a little slow on the pick-up.

So that's what I'm giving away to you today, lovelies. A sweet little mug rug in the lemon and melon colors of summer, pieced from two of my favorite pieces of fabric:

There's some Amy Butler 'Love' in the middle, and some (I believe) Timeless Treasures in 'Frosted Fondant' (also the backing), with some plain buttery yellow to tone down the busy-ness. It's finished off with some free-motion quilting, and some handmade yellow and white bias tape. She measures about 6 inches by 10 inches.

I've also got a few other little gifties to toss in the package for you if you win. I'll ship this anywhere--I love the idea that something I've made may be floating around in distant lands :) To enter, all you have to do is leave me a comment. I would love it if you left your email address, but if your profile links to your email that's fine too. I just need a way to contact you. This giveaway will stay open until 11:59 EDT on Wednesday, May 25th. I'll announce the winner the next day, and ship it out as soon as I have your address in my hot little hands. Good luck! And thanks for stopping by--hurry back now, y'hear?
