Thank goodness Sew Mama Sew changed their participation policy so that you didn't have to sign up in advance - otherwise I would not have been able to play along!
Yes, today is Sew Mama Sew giveaway day!
The swag I am offering is below: four fat quarters of Tula Pink's Parisville. And bonus: since I bought these at a Canadian LQS, they are meter FQs instead of yard FQs, which means you get an extra inch and a half (and what girl doesn't want an extra inch and half?)!!
HOW TO ENTER: The last time I had a giveaway, we played the Person Below Me game in the comment thread and it was great fun, so we'll do it again. Here's how it works: I'm going to leave the first comment with a statement that begins "The Person Below Me ......" , and the second commenter will answer True or False to my statement, and then leave their own "The Person Below Me" statement. The third commenter will answer True or False and then leave their PBM statement. Get it? Pretty simple and lots of fun. EDITED TO ADD: There have been so many comments that we have moved on to the second comment page - please click "Newest" down at the bottom of the comment thread to take you to the most recent comment. Otherwise everyone will be replying to the dog person comment. And believe me, that gets hilarious but non-sequiturish. Example: "The PBM loves Real Housewives." "False. I can't stand the hair, slobber or smell."
THE SMALL PRINT:
1. Only one chance per person.
2. No need to follow me or do any other social networking.
3. I will mail internationally (P.S. Super duper thanks to all Americans who agree to post internationally - you will notice that all bloggers from other countries are posting internationally, and it is more expensive for us to mail abroad, just like it is for you.)
4. Comments that don't follow the format described above (e.g., merely say "thanks, pick me") will be removed - not because I am a cranky, power-mad witch but because the entry system is interactive and depends on everyone following the rules.
5. Comments will close at 5pm PST on Friday, December 16 and the winner will be notified by email.
6. If you are a no-reply blogger, please make sure that you have your email listed in the body of the comment. (I don't really understand these things, but someone told me that Wordpress bloggers can often appear as no-reply to Blogger even if your settings are appropriately turned on.)
5. Comments will close at 5pm PST on Friday, December 16 and the winner will be notified by email.
