It's the last day of birthday week, and it's time to break out the presents! Today Amy and I are each hosting a giveaway on our blogs as part of our week long It's My Party and I'll Craft if I Want To event. And one of you is going to walk away with an amazing gift.
I had a great time this week sewing projects for myself and sharing some of my favorite things. I shared my dumpling pouch, my favorite everyday things, my sewing machine cozy, and my favorite crafty things. Now it's time to give a gift to one of you! I'm so jealous of the goodies up for grabs. Ready?
First of all, Riley Blake is very generously offering up a fat quarter bundle of Apple of My Eye! Can you believe this?!?

My favorite tool is my rotary cutter, when I first got it thinking this is not going to cut and what a life saver. Straight lines.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite tool is my seam ripper.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway! Thanks so much. I really enjoyed following along this week. My favfabric is anything Amy or anything Kaffe. Have a Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteMy fave tool of the moment is my Silhouette SD. I'm having fun experimenting and learning how to use it. LOVE your fab machine cover. I need to make a 2nd one and your color blocking was inspirational. Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteI love my ergonomic seam ripper. It gets used often so at least it is more comfortable when I have to break it out.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for your generosity. My favorite tool is probably my seam ripper (I've had that thing forever!) And my favorite fabric would be baby print flannel. It's just so cute and cuddly!
ReplyDeleteOooh I would LOVE to win!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafty tool is definitely my sewing machine! This is my 3rd upgrade since learning to sew and it's WAY smarter than I am- but I'm learning to keep up with it!
Happy Birthday!
my fav tool is a good pair of fabric scissors. Not sure how I cut fabric smoothly before them! and yay Canadian friendly giveaways!
ReplyDeleteTotally coveting the pouch and button! And notebook...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite craft tool right now would have to be Pinterest. So many fun ideas and inspiration.
I think my favorite crafting tool is my hot glue gun, who doesn't love easy crafting?!
ReplyDeleteJust one favourite tool? Hmmmm my rotary cutter? It make it all possible!
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday! I really have to make one of those dumpling pouches - so adorable. Thanks for sharing. So - my favorite crafting tool? My sewing machine. Since upgrading my machine, frustrations have been so much lower and I can just sit down and know it will work. Whew.
ReplyDeleteRight at the moment I believe my favorite tool is my little hidey hole of a sewing room. I can finally get in there and get some serious work done. I also love anything with polka dots, fabric, shoes, chairs....
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!
My favorite crafting tool is my sewing machine. I use it daily.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Oh what a wonderful giveaway! My favorite tool right now would be the sewing machine. I try to sit at it at least every other day (perfect world would be every day).
ReplyDeleteslhightower5(at)yahoo(dot)com
Choosing a favorite tool is super difficult. I'm going to say scissors just because I use them constantly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful giveaway! My favorites are my sewing machine and rotary cutter :)
ReplyDeleteMy rotary cutter and mat are the two best things I've purchased to make sewing so much easier! My birthday was this week too. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my glue gun--I've started using in on paper projects too because it dries so much faster than liquid glue :)
ReplyDeleteFabric. Yes. All of it. I simply love fabric. Absolutely my favorite crafting substance. :) Rotary cutters and chopsticks (for turning and corners) are also at the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can limit it to just one tool...I love my bias tape maker, rotary cutter, and of course my sewing machine. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway! My favorite tool would have to be my sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric, hands down, is girl on a swing from sherbet pips. I have never been so in love. I have many little sewing gadgets I love, but my new favorite is my hera marker. I've never used one before, but I'm convinced it's the greatest thing ever :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a marvelous giveaway!
What a great giveaway! I love that little zipper pouch. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI love my embroidery scissors. They cut tiny threads easily and close.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun stuff...my favorite tool would be my sewing machine and at times, my seam ripper. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! My all time favorite crafting tool is my sewing machine. I used to be really into scrap-booking but have fallen in love with sewing and its my new favorite!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. My favorite tool would have to be my rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm torn between my sewing machine being first, but I'm thinking that might not be a tool, so I think my rotary cutter and then the ruler you use along with it would have to be next. And always my seam ripper,which I love. I actually lost mine for a week and was shocked how much I missed it! But for now I'll say my rotary cutter!! I love the giveaway, those fabrics are sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower. So nice to meet you!
Julie
Next to my beloved sewing machine, I would say my secret crafting weapon is my CD player! I cannot seem to sew a stitch without it...
ReplyDeleteLOVE using my rotary cutter for cutting out all my projects - sewing clothes or quilting. Can't believe I used to cut with my scissors :)
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Happy Birthday week, and thank you for the great giveaway! I have a jelly roll of apple of my eye, so how can I resist throwing my hat in for more?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafting tool as of yesterday are my alphabet stamps. I made a bunch of personalized labels on Kona cotton last night and heat set them and now I'm going to maniacally sew them onto everything I make!
Thanks for the chance to win such fun goodies!! My favorite, and most used, tool is my rotary cutter. Kind a boring, but very necessary!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafting tool is my sewing machine. Can't live without it, and don't have enough time in the day to fully enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing giveaway! Right now, my favourite fabric is Sweetwater Reunion.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN ALL THESE GREAT GOODIES, I SIGNED UP TO SEE MORE OF YOUR STAR QUAILITIES..
ReplyDeleteOK, everything here is darling and I NEED it all! ok, ok...want it all :-) Thanks for all the fun sharing this week and the amazing giveaway! Hope it's been a good birthday week for you.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafting tool are my medical clamps. I bought them years ago when I was making porcelain dolls. Now I use them for turning tubes, holding wires together for necklaces I'm stringing, and various other things that come up. I couldn't live without them. I would love to win the give-a-way! I'm loving my quilting and sewing small projects. Yay!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tools are always my rulers, so many shapes and designs that can be made from each. Great give away, thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletemy favorite tool would be the sewing machine itself...its amazing what you can create with that machine!
ReplyDeleteI just love my Kona color card. I use it all the time. It has saved me numerous times when ordering fabric on-line. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, my favorite crafting tool is yarn and knitting needles
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafting tool is my seam ripper. Not my favorite when I am ripping something out but the narrow point is great for guiding fabric pieces under the presser foot or holding down an edge when I am sewing something by hand. A great tool.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It's been a fun week following along. :) I just made myself a table-sized ironing board, and I love it. It's big enough to press 1.5 yards of fabric at a time, so I foresee this being very helpful for quilting, especially making pieced backs. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tool is my Bloc Loc! It makes perfect half square triangles!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week you have hosted! My husband got me a set of sissors for christmas a few years ago. Those are my favorite!! My favorite fabric is some I bought before I ever quilted. Jingle bell mice based on a childrens book. Now I can make it into a quilt. Kim jbkk@surewest.net
ReplyDeleteMy favorite IS Apple of My Eye so I would really love to win!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win such great goodies - I'd love the try making the dumpling pouch. I'm a new quilter so my favorite tool is definitely the rotary cutter and mat!
ReplyDeleteHey---I just found your blog...I don't know how I've been missing out! I've been snooping around your blog and it is so cute...those fisher price people bags are awesome.
ReplyDeleteliZ
(Ok---I know that this is suppossed to be where I leave a comment for the giveaway and not about your blog so, um sorry for being a crazy person.)
I would have to say my sewing machine. I think it is involved in all of my crafts. Happy birthday week.
ReplyDeleteMy gram left me her sewing machine when she passed away last year. It is not only my favorite crafting tool, but it is inspiring me to be creative.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday week:) my favorite fabric, wow, I love all fabric!!! And I love my scissors but not too crazy about my seam ripper even though it always comes out when I am short on time :)
ReplyDeleteI love your birthday week! Does Pinterest count as a crafting tool? ;) No? Okay, then in that case my favorite crafting tool is probably my awesome sharp and shiny scissors that I got for my birthday last year from my momma... so I'd stop borrowing hers! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric at the moment is seersucker :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you. I hope you enjoy it. My favorite crafting tool is my cutting board and rotary cutters.
ReplyDeleteI love Apple of My Eye fabric. Thanks to Riley Blake for donating the fat quarter bundle. And thank you for the wonderful items you are giving away. I would love to win either prize.
Happy Birthday!

ReplyDeleteI love GLUE! Hot glue, ATG tape, etc. I love being able to fix and create with it!
ReplyDeleteLike others, my favorite tool is my seam ripper...I'm too much of a perfectionist!
ReplyDeleteJeepers. It's a toss up. My favourite crafting tools are probably my sewing machine and my nice pair of scissors. I could live fine on a desert island as long as I had those two. Oh ya, and electricity but that's it!
ReplyDeleteMy seam ripper is my best (and worst) crafting friend.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to say that my rotary cutter is my favorite tool. I could hand sew, but I will never hand-cut again (I think).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your birthday celebration with us!!
My favorite crafting tool? My mom's brain. I am always calling her when I can't figure something out. I guess second would be my sewing machine. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Riley Blake is my all time favorite fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win!
Happy birthday! I love all fabrics! Really. My husband likes to say that I'm a fabric hoarder. I wish I wasn't, but it's true. Heh heh.
ReplyDeletesewing machine and fabric are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Favorite crafting tool has to be my ergonomic rotary cutters. LOVE them. By the way, on the package of die cut button stickers? 2nd row, 3rd from left, I have these actual buttons in my button can! How weird is that?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, favourite tool - a stitch ripper!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Week Gwen!
what I prefer? well everything is pretty welcome, there's always something you need specific when you're sewing or crafting, I adore never miss one!
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway
I don't know that I have a favorite craft tool. I have too many crafting loves to just pick one. The item that I can not live without is an appropriate cutting implement. Rotary cutter, shears, scissors, clipping scissors... I will spend a full 15 minutes searching for the appropriate one before admitting defeat and finding a "second best".
ReplyDelete(This is why I have 2 pairs of clipping scissors, 2 rotary cutters with extra blades AND a blade sharpener, several pairs of misc. scissors.)
Wonderful giveaway - My favorite tool is my 35 year old Kenmore sewing machine - such a workhorse and never gives me any problem.
ReplyDeletemy favorite tool is my sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteHappy B-Day!! My fav tool is my rotary cutter and my computer. What a computer you say, well yes how else would I enter this give away and see all the cool ideas :-)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tools are my rottary cutter and my crochet hook! I can't imagine going back to using scissors to cut fabric *Shudder* and crocheting relaxes me wehn I get stressed about pieceing something together :)
ReplyDeleteWow, what cool things to win! Thanks for the chance. I have been wanting to make one of those pouches but alas, I was sure I had some zippers in my sewing stash, but I guess I don't! Once I get some, I'll definitely be trying one out...and how cool it would be to use some of that yummy fabric!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite crafting tool would have to be my sewing machines. Other than my husband and children....I've never spent so much time with something else. Happy Happy Birthday Gwen.....you are a sweetheart and thanks for the generous giveaway.

ReplyDeleteQuilting is for guys, too. I hope I win.
Wow! Seriously amazing. My favorite tool is my seam ripper. I was using a nail clipper for so long and I finally got a ripper.....just laziness on my part. Sweet Maria it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! My favorite tool would have to be whatever I'm using for the project du jour. Sometimes it's the sewing machine, sometimes, hook or needles. And sometimes, it's something as simple as glue dots for cardmaking! How's that for specific! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, and may you enjoy a blessed year and many more!
My tiny squeezie snips are my favorite. I might need to have them surgically attached to my hand ;-) Thanks for the chance to win!
