Please VOTE for Sew Gracious

Do you know about Hawthorne Threads?  If you don't and you love fabric, you should!  I first discovered Hawthorne Threads on Etsy.  Now they have their own website and it is wonderful!  Their tagline has always been "two love birds who love fabric".  Well, I love fabric too so I knew they were perfect for me!   HT is owned by Lindsay  and Charlie . . a sweet couple who do love fabric.  They are dedicated to their business too.  They have a great blog, send regular newsletter updates and hit Quilt Market wide open!  If you don't know, Quilt Market is where is the fabric is released.  It's like a giant mall for fabric shops.  Good stuff!

Hawthorne Threads is currently hosting a contest, featuring items made with the popular Tip Top Elephant fabric by Diawabo.   They have been kind enough to include 2 Sew Gracious items in the contest.  As you know,  many times to win a contest you need to have votes from the public, your friends and fans.  It works for American Idol so I'm ok with it too.

So, I'm humbly asking for your vote.  You can click here to go directly to the page to vote.   You can vote for both Sew Gracious items at once and you can vote multiple times.   Will you please vote for both Sew Gracious items?

The prize is a $25 gift certificate from Hawthorne Threads.  As one who loves fabric, nothing is better than free fabric; so I'd love to win.  More than that, winning would bring lots of great publicity to Sew Gracious.   Hawthorne is a top rated website and fabric company.  They will spread the word about the winner.  That would be a good thing for Sew Gracious. ;)

So you know what to do.  Please go vote and feel free to comment here or on my FB page.

Pam

BUNCO Hostess with the Mostest!

I may be the only woman in America who isn't in a Bunco group.  It's OK.  I don't think I could commit the time right now, but someday!  As I hear friends talk about bunco, it sounds like a hoot & some really good girl time.  A few laughs, some good food, a little drink, friendly competition.   What's not to love about that!

I don't know if this is commonplace, but I know of one bunco group who will be receiving some nice little gifts from their hostess soon.  A customer who has shopped with me many times in the past recently contacted me about ordering some mini keyfobs.  I was thrilled to have her business again and just assumed she was gearing up for teacher appreciation at the end of the school year.  {It's a great time to do that.  Beat the rush and check it off your to-do list.  Just sayin'}

My customer asked for bright spring colors and allowed me to simply "create" for her.  Those kinds of orders are the most fun.  I get creative license and have a great time doing it.  You can see what I made for her in the picture above.  Ah, spring!

She let me know that she was giving the keyfobs as gifts the next time she was the bunco hostess.  Well, how cool is that?   I say she is definitely The Hostess with the Mostest!  I didn't know hostesses gave gifts to their guests each month.  Maybe it's just their group.  At any rate, don't you think that's a wonderful idea?  Me, too!

So, I just thought I let you know how creative and generous my customers are; and maybe give you a gift idea for your next group get-together.  Interested?  Just drop me a convo on Etsy and we'll get started on making YOU the Hostess with the Mostest!
