Let's Start the New Year with a Give-Away!


"Caribbean Jewel"


It's time to celebrate the New Year in style and have a Give-Away! Last week I took a poll and asked you to let me know what shades of colors you would like depicted in this month's Give-Away Tote! The majority of those polled preferred "Jewel Tones" to be represented. Done deal. Off I went to the fabric store to scout out some jewel-toned fabric. In my mind's eye I was looking for fabric that included the colors of rubies, emeralds, and diamonds. Instead I fell in love with two fabrics that represented the colors of jewels found in the Caribbean. Tanzanite, Sapphinres, Amethysts and Onyx! Thus, "Caribbean Jewel", was born...

These tantilizing batiks by Hoffman Fabrics are absolutely luscious! Hoffman designs and creates innovative and unique hand-dyed and hand-painted batik fabrics of the highest quality. Their fabrics are of such a high caliber that they have the feel of "silk." Generally speaking, the higher the thread count, the more silk-like the fabric feels and, believe me, these fabrics are silky-smooth! This bag has all the usual adornments... large inside pocket, fully lined with double interfacing for extra support, fabric-covered, removable, reinforced base, 22" reinforced fabric straps. This Hang Up measures approximately 14 1/2" x 12".

This Give-Away will be much like those in the past. The contest will run until midnight Wednesday, January 14th. Thursday morning, January 15th, the winner of the contest will be announced. One name will be chosen from all those entered. Don't be shy!

The rules of the contest are as follows:
1) The participants must live within the continental U.S. I will provide the postage.
2.) Each person that makes a comment below will have her name entered in the Tote Give-Away contest. If you put a "shout out" on your blog about the contest, and come back and let me know through another comment, your name will be entered again.
3.) No anonymous comments, please. If you are not a friend or relative that I already know and love, please leave your name and a way for me to contact you (either an email address or the address of your blog). If I don't have any way to contact you, your name will not be eligible.
4.) This tote is not meant for resale. Only those intending to use the tote for personal use may register to win.
