giveaway winners + discount code

Happy Mother's Day to all of you awesome mamas out there! I had 42 entries in my contest by midnight Friday, which made your odds of winning one of the two pieces of measuring tape fabric pretty darned good . . . and yet, only two people won this time around, and I'm always left wishing everyone could win.

Here are the two folks I'll be sending fabric to this week:

Jenny (comment: "I have to say: DOLL FACED PILLOW. I wish I could say WTH??? But really and truly, I have an aunt who used to make that stuff for me when I was a little girl. 
I like your blog and this tape measure fabric is wonderful!! Thank you so much for the chance.")

KRubin (comment: "This is perfect timing! My best friend just found out that she is expecting a little girl and will begin working on the nursery soon! I think it would make a great addition. This may be cheating, but I'm really proud of myself! Last week, I completed my first year of graduate school!"

I've already sent out e-mails to these two ladies, but if I don't hear from one or the other (or both) of them by May 17th, I'll be picking someone new. UPDATE 5/13/2013: both people have been in contact, so I'll be shipping fabric to them today! The rest of you can take advantage of the following:

Being that it's Mother's Day and I really like hearing from readers new and old, I'm giving the rest of you an exclusive coupon code for 50% off the measuring tape fabric in my Etsy supplies shop. This will expire on May 18th, so order up!

Head on over, put the fabric in your cart, and when you're prompted for the coupon code at checkout, enter SEWMAMA. That's it!

Thanks again, everyone, for another successful Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! I was a little late (3 days) getting my giveaway post up this time around, so the amount of responses was impressive. Welcome to all of you new blog followers; I hope you'll like the post I've got planned for next week . . . CLIFFHANGER ENDING!

winners of the red fox pillow giveaway!

Sorry for the delay in announcing the winners of the Red Fox Pillow Giveaway! In the end, we had over a hundred entries, which I printed, cut apart, and folded into squares for my kiddo to pull out of a hat.

And the winners are:

Fox pillow of your choice (Sleepy Fox or Sneaky Fox): "I really like the sneaky fox! Your style is so unique, and creative!" --Jessica

Sadly, the winner didn't get in touch with me by the posted deadline, so we chose another winner: "Oh my goodness, the pillows are amazing! My daughter - not quite two - was sitting on my lap when I pulled up your blog and she went NUTS over them! --Kiza. Congratulations Kiza! Your daughter is going to be thrilled to bits!

Two mini pillows (Cold Shoulder Fox and Fox Face): "My son would LOVE these foxes! I envy your drawing skills and will add you to my Google Reader blogroll." --Holly U

Here's a new twist: Holly U can choose to instead to have the second large fox pillow (whichever one isn't chosen by Jessica), in which case, I'd pick a third winner for the two mini pillows. Holly chose to have me send her the second fox pillow, so here's the new winner of the two mini pillows:

"I love your line. If I don't win, I might have to make myself a pillow :) Right now the project I'm most excited about is the one growing inside me - little baby Bright is set to enter on Halloween :) Thanks so much for the generous giveaway! --alli b. Congrats on the new kiddo, and on the mini pillow win!


New winners announced here have until May 31 June 4 to get in touch with me with their preferences and addresses (info at thenightgarden.com). Pillows will be mailed on June 1 June 5. If either winner doesn't get in touch with me by June 1 June 4, the prize is forfeited, and another winner will be selected from the hat and announced here.

Thanks, everyone, for entering! I truly wish I had a bunch more pillows to give away, but if you're still interested in buying fabric and making your own Red Fox pillow, you can find the fabric here: http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/1136410.

A quarter yard will get the Sleepy Fox pillow front shipped directly to you. A full yard will yield fronts and backs of Sleepy Fox, Sneaky Fox, and both mini pillows (great for sachets, doll pillows, or pin cushions).
