National Sewing Month | Giveaway #1


COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. Thanks to all who entered. A winner will be chosen and notified in the next few days.

Be sure to stop back each Friday in September for another chance to win some fun organic fabrics!


September is National Sewing Month! In the spirit of this observance, Cloud9 Fabrics is hosting a giveaway each week to get you all jazzed up about sewing possibilities. We hope you'll join us over the next month for 4 fabulous giveaways (see schedule below).


From the National Sewing Month website:
The observance of National Sewing Month began in 1982 with a proclamation from President Ronald Reagan declaring September as National Sewing Month “In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation.”

I don't know about you, but I'm kind of tickled to think that Ronald Reagan said "home sewing". Just seems like a high improbability for the man himself, but I guess when you're President, lots of things pass through your lips you might not otherwise utter. (PS- this is just my mind's meanderings... I don't know... he may have said it all the time for all I know!)

Forest Friends Flannel

Anyway, on to the giveaway! Here's the giveaway schedule:

Week 1: (open Sept 2-6) Forest Friends Flannel Scrap Bag
1/2 lb of various sized, but workable scraps of our Forest Friends Flannel- mainly prints and some solids.

Week 2: (open Sept 9-13) Nature Walk Scrap Bag
1/2 lb of various sized, but workable scraps of our Nature Walk prints.

Week 3: (open Sept 16-20) Cut Out & Keep fat quarter bundle
Fat quarters of each of the 8 prints in this collection

Week 4: (open Sept 23-27) Across the Pond fat quarter bundle
Fat quarters of each of the 10 prints in this collection

To enter this week's giveaway of a Flannel Scrap Bag of Forest Friends Flannel, simply leave a comment and some contact info. Anyone can enter, but only one comment per person, please (additional comments will be deleted)
