A new blog for sewers has evolved called Sewn. Actually, it’s still evolving and makes its official inaugural debut June 8, but you can register right now to win cool stuff or join the Blog Launch Giveaway like I’ve done.
Sewn’s creators promise lots of excitement: forums, online advice from industry experts, conversion charts, color wheels, free patterns, class listings, interviews, tutorials, podcasts, an online Fabricmatcher tool, and more. I’m one of the registered blogs hosting a giveaway to honor the new blog’s launch.

I’m offering a quilt kit from Timeless Treasures entitled “Solar Flare”. Included are the instructions and Tonga Batiks fabrics to make a 70-inch square, as well as a wonderful drawstring bag that holds everything.
Leave a comment on my blog between now and midnight of June 7 (PST)—your name will be entered into the drawing each time you comment (hopefully saying something nice to make my day lovely).
On June 8, magic shall be performed and the winning name drawn, henceforth to be announced that same day.
Uh … one more thing … if, perhaps, your name is “Anonymous”, it just won’t do at all. As the Caterpillar asked Alice in Lewis Carroll’s story, “Who... are... you?”

Oh my the colours on that bag are just beautiful - I've not done a quilt before though I would love to try... perhaps a kit would be a good way to start?
I haven't tried anything with batiks yet, but I love the way they look! Sounds like a great website, I'll go moseying around.
blessings,
Niki
Hmm...I vaguely remember hearing something about Sewn somewhere. I'll have to check it out. Your bag kit is really pretty!
That is one beautiful quilt. I absolutely love the colors.
Thanks for the link to Sewn. I'm looking forward to their launch.
Thanks for the link to the new blog - it sounds interesting! Love the looks of that kit - what lovely fabric!
I learn something everytime I read your blog...so glad you decided to jump back in after a long absence! Thank you for sharing your talents.
That is a very interesting quilt design - especially using the batik prints. I'm always drawn to batiks (memories of my youth!). Please count me in for the give away.

Hi June!
This sounds like the perfect website for you! Lots of fun for sewers. That bag is so beautiful! Nice give away!
I've been experiencing some Blogspot problems,as some others are too, with blog pages not loading properly. There must be some glitches somewhere in the system. Thankfully your site opened without trouble!
Hugs, Pat
what amazing colours. I admire those who quilt -- it's so detailed and time consuming. You made a very pretty choice for your giveaway.
(Please do not include my name in your draw my dear -- I know I won't be able to put it together should I have won). Good luck to everyone for the draw!
Batik cathedrals. Pretty!
Solar Flare, indeed! How lovely and appropriate. I am delighted to sign in and sign on and bask in the beauty of your own warmth...it not only flares but glows and warms us all. How's that for a kind comment ;) You know I LOVE you and your blog!!!
I'm a big wimp when it comes to quilting. Perhaps a kit would be just the thing. And I love the pretty bag in the picture. How sweet you are to host a giveaway!
A lovely, cheery bag.
