Giveaway Winners

There were 40 comments but one was a double post and one was from a previous satisfied winner, Bunny, :) so the random number went from 1 to 38:

FIRST WINNER:




SECOND WINNER:



Congratulations to you both! Let me know where to ship. bjorum at mac dot com

And thank you everyone; I loved reading how magnifiers would aid you in the sewing room -and, like Melissa, how you could use them for other things as well. I use them when my little one gets a splinter or anything else that is tiny, just like the dermatologist wears a similar contraption during an examination. I wish you all could have one right this minute, but at least I'll keep giving them away, so don't despair! 

I also started thinking about something else I buy in bulk: SILK! I often buy it by the bolt; charmeuse. crepe, chiffon, organza... black or white. You know I like to dye, so the white is very handy :) But black is my favorite color and I use it constantly.

Any interest in a giveaway? Wish you had some silk for a project you've got lined up?

Magnifiers and silk; two items I cannot live without :)

  1. Love silk, but don't use it much--I think the cost scares me off a bit. There is a great store--http://www.thaisilks.com/.

  2. Congratulations to the winner of the magnifiers. I won a pair from Birgitte a while back and they have come in very handy indeed. Birgitte, where do you buy your silk?

  4. Yippee, I'm so excited to win a magnifier - thank you Birgitte!!!

    I have never used silk, I don't think it lends itself very well to my lifestyle (we live in the boonies). I would love to have a special top or dress made of silk someday tho.

  5. Silk? Are you kidding? I could never win enough silk. Love to sew on it and use it for lots of different sewing. I live in the boonies too, but still can have silk jammies, silk linings to a purse, and silk scarves. Count me a silk lover.
