Sew Mama Sew giveaway loot, originally uploaded by Shadrach Meshach & Abednego.
Today is Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day! Here is the swag I'm offering up. These four fat quarters of assorted quilting fabric! Here are a couple of closer views of the fabric:
I would also like to remind you that I have just started a Flickr group for swapping quilty goodness like patterns, rulers, tools, fabric, etc. If you have things that are duplicates or that you aren't using anymore that you'd like to swap, come over to the Quilters' Exchange group and add your goods to the pool!
Now, for this giveaway, please leave a comment below, telling me what your dream job would be. Mine is professional napper - I am an excellent napper, and if I could get paid for taking naps, I would be a millionaire: that's how good a napper I am. So let's hear from you. Comments are open until December 17, and it will be the standard random draw.

Lovely giveaway items, Lesly -- thank you!
My dream job? Since you've already claimed Professional Napper, I'd have to say Philanthropist. I'd be rich, and I'd be able to do good stuff with my money. And quilt on the side, I guess.

Lovely fabrics!
My dream job is to be a Young Adult author, which is lucky because that's my job! Hurrah!
Hi, Lesly! Beautiful swag!!
My dream job would probably be what I get to do every day - take care of my beautiful granddaughter and quilt!! I would love to be able to expand that a little to add teaching quilting on a regular (i.e. daily) basis to folks.... The only difference is that it would be fun to get paid to do it!!
My dream job would be a quilt designer....like a real one. Well something quilty.
My dream job would actually be a lactation consultant. Pretty far off from my real-life job of an engineer...
Dream job...rock babies all morning and sew all afternoon. Think anyone would pay me to do that?
Love the fabric!
Food taster, would be my choice! I'd get fed, there'd be no cooking involved, and the dishes would be someone else's problem. Sounds like heaven... sigh...
Okay, I think I already have my dream job (I teach Kindergarten) but the comment about rocking babies and sewing sounds good, too.
Dream job? Domestic Oceanic Observatory Attendant.
What is that you ask?
Why someone who gets to spend all their time viewing and enjoying all of the lovely ocean views and sounds!
LOL
My dream job would be to be a stay home mom with my son (and hopefully future children). Someday. /sigh
First off, love the fabric. Dream job, I never thought of a professional napper, oh my, that would be wonderful. However, since my children would probably wake me, I would have to say my dream job would be being able to sew and quilt every day.
super fun fabric prizes!
my dream job would be what i'm doing now-on a bigger level :)
I would like to be the person that names the colors for paint chips and fabric swatches!!
Blessings,
KT

I would be the best personal shopper ever!!
