Giveaway: ONE-YARD WONDERS!!!

In celebration of my birthday I am giving one of our readers a gift, and all I ask in return is a picture of whatever you make!

You want this book! You know you do! One-Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Fabric Projects; Look How Much You Can Make with Just One Yard of Fabric!is an amazing addition to your crafty library. Whenever you get that urge to create, just whip it out and get to crafting! Also, what a great excuse to just go ahead and buy a yard of any cute fabric you find - no need to have a specific project in mind, you know you will find one in the book!

To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment telling us ONE of your crafty new year's resolutions. Do you resolve to learn to sew a straight line? Or perhaps to finally complete that quilt that's been taunting you? Or maybe it's to bake a cake shaped like a beehive? We're not judging, we're just curious. One of my new year's resolutions is to get my fabrics organized in a crafty way and share it here, and another is to get you all to subscribe to Prudent Advice and read my book. Good thing I have a whole year to get on it!

For extra entries, go ahead and twitter the giveaway, share it on Facebook, or post it on your blog, then leave another comment here letting us know!

We will close the entries at midnight on Monday, January 18th and select a winner (must be a US resident) via Random.org. I hope it's you!! But if not, make sure to pick up a copy of this fantastic book here!

XOXO and Good Luck!

I'm a brand new quilter (just completed my first quilt @ the beginning of December) & I have a very gracious MIL who let me raid her fabric stash. My goal this year is to make 10 quilts.

Have a nice day. I love your blog, it's very inspirering.; January 12, 2010 at 5:11 AM
AC said...: ONE of my crafty New Years' goals is to embrace the "multi-project" mentality. Rather than beat myself up about having 2, or 5, or 10 projects simultaneously "in the works," I want to accept it, and use it. When my eyes and back are tired from sitting at the sewing machine, I can curl up on the couch and pick up some simple knitting. That way, more projects will be done in the end!!!!!
p.s. I am SUPER excited about this give away. This book was on my wish list for Christmas, but I didn't get it.; January 12, 2010 at 6:36 AM
tali said...: My crafty resolution is simply to do just that - CRAFT! I've had a long to do list for ages and have never made the time, so this year I have resolved to get stuff done for a change as it's so much more rewarding to DIY than BUY!; January 12, 2010 at 6:36 AM

This is my first time to visit your website, and it's AWESOME! I haven't sewn in quite some time, and when I did sew...way back when....I wasn't great it. The last few months, I've been stocking up on some material. Now I'm trying to psyche myself up to give it a go again. I'd really LOVE this book. I'm sure it would be great for someone with my sewing skills....or lack thereof =) Thank you for the opportunity. tkcharlesworth@aol.com; January 15, 2010 at 5:37 PM
