this time last year I was hopping about all over blogland, amazed at the wonderful generosity of the sewing community. A year later I have my own little blog and I have learnt that that generosity runs deep and true amoungst the friends I have made online.
I cannot wait to meet some of you in less than 2 weeks at the retreat!
So to say thanks to everyone I wanted to join in with the giveaway day, but as I am currently snowed under working through commissions trying to get pennies together for the big London trip I haven't had time to make something especially for the giveaway. What I do have is a sample piece I made for the recent FTLOS swap. I was so pleased with how the sample came out, I really could have sent it to my partner, had it been in her colours. It has been hanging in my sewing room waiting for a new home, I hope you can love it!

Thank goodness I live in the UK as I would LOVE to win this. I NEED this!! I LOVE wonky stars!! If I don't win may I have the pattern? :) Thanks for the chance, even though I am #1.
Have just 'liked' you over on Facebook. Thanks for the chance to win this awesomeness!!
Oooh...what do I love? What do I love? Zippers from Zipit, of course. But my most used hardware is my computer as it gives me inspiration and motivation from blogs like yours....aw. (Can I get bonus points, here?)
PS - I'll be at FQly.
Oh I thought you were keeping that! I still love it... lol My fave bit of kit is my walking foot... and my rotary cutter.... :-)
whoa, so pretty and useful!
the hardware I use more is my sewing machine really. I avoid most hardware because I can't find any at many places other than John Lewis and they charge 3quid for a zipper!
I have 'liked' you on Facebook.
I think my favourite piece [or pieces] of hardware are the automatice needle threader on my machine and the ones I use for hand sewing!
I get a lot of my zips from Birmingham's rag market! Julia at gonetoearth is great for bag hardware!
I love the organiser, thanks so much for the chance to win it!
I love my quarter inch foot if that counts? My seams are so much neater now.
I liked you on Facebook too.
Zipit is the biz!!
I have done the 'likey' thing too.
See you soon xxxx
I loved this when you first posted making it Emily. It is a brilliant design. Looking forward to seeing you in less than two weeks.
buttons! fingers crossed! treevt80 at yahoo dot com
Love this Emily and as I am going to the retreat it will save you pennies in postage if I win it ;-)
I thought this was such a cool thing when you first posted it and I'm so excited that you're giving it away! I hope your swap partner likes the one you made her.
I have had a hard time finding good hardware, except zippers which I always get from the lovely and awesome zipit on etsy.
I follow u on FB and here :)
I loved this when you posted it before, I'll be at the retreat, so no shipping :) cant wait, I ordered zipits for the FQ for my first attempt at a pouch
Do buttons count? I bought a load from Craft superstore.
Loving zips too bought a few from Zipit on Etsy =D
Thanks for a great giveaway =D

Oh what a great prize. I totally lusted after this when you posted about it in the swap.
At the moment I can't see past my rotary cutter and mat. But otherwise I love magnetic snaps and I get 50 for about 10-15 quid on Ebay.

Just found you via the SMS giveaway and joined as a follower. I'd love a chance to win this organiser it would be perfect for my DD when she goes to University in September
Hi there :-) I love zipit for zips and I don't think i could manage without my adjustable width foot on my sewing machine. Thanks so much for the chance to win :-)
I like on facebook too :-)
I am so sad that I don't live in the UK. I want one of these so bad. Maybe another time. Thanks and good luck to your entries
Lovely giveaway. I like buttons as they can add a lot to a project. They are tactile too.
this is adorable. I love buttons since there is such a huge variety. i usually get em at joanns or vintage ones at the thrift store

Hi, just popping over to say a big THANKS for my bee block! I love it!
I might as well enter your giveaway too, tee hee! I like zippers from zipit on Etsy.
Oh whoops, well I am not in the UK, but I do like zipit. Maybe they ship to the UK? The price of the zippers is really cheap and they are good quality.
Phew I live in the UK - and love love love this (I have fingers and toes and ears crossed). I like zips, and I either get them from car boot sales, or from Joan down at my local wool shop - she always has a good enough selection for me. ( and I'm following)
I liked you on facebook (see you at the retreat xx)
Oh thats a fab prize (very glad I live in the UK) I think my favourite bit of kit is my sewing box, everything is stored in there so I can actually find things (or thats the theory anyway)
I'm also following you on facebook :-)
I don't really use much hardware, apart from those magnetic clasp things for bags, which I buy in fabric land for about 50p. Looking forward to meeting you at fq london
I got some zipper pulls from Zippit and they are gorgeous! I don't live in the Uk but I'm going to be at the FW retreat and look forward to meeting you there
Ohh, this is a brilliant idea. Will you have a pattern for it if I don't win it?
I get basic stuff in Goldhawk Road and bag making supplies mostly at U Handbag.
I don't know yet if I'm going to love it or not but I just bought a circle stitching attachment for my Bernina. I thought it would be fun to quilt some circles and that this would make it easy to do.

I love my clover mini sewing iron. It really makes a difference to have the iron right there, and it makes pressing seems open so easy.
I LOVE your blog! I am inspired to start one, wondering if I blog if I will have time to sew???
simple and useful...
