SEWN


SEWN is a new craft website out of Australia. Here's their mission:
SEWN is new and innovative online quilting and sewing community for all lovers of fabric crafts. We have Tips and Innovative Tools to help with your projects, an Advice Centre for all your sewing questions, online forums and chats, and information on your local shops, sewing groups, quilt groups and classes.

SEWN will feature designers and shops from Australia and New Zealand, as well as the latest from the USA, Canada, Europe and Japan.

There will be articles, interviews and tutorials from industry experts, competitions and free patterns! We’ll even be reporting via podcast from craft shows around Australia and the USA.

In honor of their opening, they are giving away and hosting giveaways. To celebrate with them, I will give away 2 fat quarters, fabric to be determined. I will entertain color requests (put them in your comment), but no guarantees.

To enter, comment on this post by June 8, 2009. Winner will be determined randomly on June 8.

p.s. I know I'm off-track on Friday recipes. I'll try and get back on-track next week.

    I'm open to just about any fabric... haven't found a good source of 100% cotton here yet. I'm sure there has to be such stores but quilting hasn't become popular here (yet!) and the folks seem to really like their polyester.
