I bought some Onsen towels and they came packaged in lovely cotton drawstring bags. Way too nice to throw away and useful for a variety of things! I kept a couple and am sharing the rest. Mary & Pat will each receive two 7x12in and two 12x22in bags. These would be perfect to use for reusable gift wrap, once you’ve covered the “Onsen” name with some embellishments. Maybe a little applique or sequins?

Surely someone you know could use a pack of 6 colorful reusable silicone straws with their own little brush for cleaning! It will definitely fit in a stocking. We love giving unusual, even odd, items in our stockings, along with the more traditional candy and fruit. Maybe this will be the start of a new tradition for you too!

This lovely embroidery kit (just in time to make for Christmas decor) will go to Stephanie – this week’s winner!

This kit, like all our embroidery kits from Cozy Blue, includes everything you need to complete the project, including pre-printed fabric, thread, needle and hoop. And lots of instructions!

This week’s giveaway, a tube of #10 size Straw Needles from Jeana Kimball’s Foxglove Cottage goes to Roberta Adams. These needles (longer than regular sharp/applique needles) have a slightly thicker shank, keeping it from bending while stitching and accommodating a larger eye for easier threading. It’s a great needle for those trying out straw needles for the first time.

You can find out more about these and see all the different needles we carry by clicking HERE.

This week’s winner, Linda, will get a great tool for machine sewing on any project – Sewing Edge Vinyl Strips!

These vinyl strips replace masking tape and moleskin with a repositionable stop that doesn’t leave sticky residue on the bed of the machine. The thickness creates an edge that guides the fabric in front of the foot. 

You can watch a video showing you how to use these strips, as well as information on other machine sewing tools available on our website by clicking here!

Remember the Nosegay Quilt-Along? I made a hand pieced block and it is going to Janet, along with the templates to make more hand pieced blocks. And, just for grins, I’m including the taped-together hand applique pattern :-).

If you missed the Nosegay Quilt-Along, you can find the videos here, on my Youtube channel.
