Hello!
Today we get to giveaway all of the thank-you gifts that we have for those of you who participated in Skirting the Issue!
We wish we had a gift for every single one of you who sewed along with us.
We hope you all know how much we appreciate every single item that was made, donated, photographed, or sent. If we could hand deliver something to each one of you we would…or have a great get together luncheon….wouldn’t that be cool?
We also need to send our appreciation to our sponsors this year. As we said in the beginning we always feel a little shy about contacting sponsors but every one of the FABULOUS companies we contacted agreed to sponsor Skirting the Issue. And we appreciate it. We aren’t the biggest or flashiest blog on the block and we thank them for taking the time to support something so dear to our hearts.
Now without further ado lets get down to the choosing of names out of a hat.
Or a big orange mixing bowl to be exact…my husband is sitting here making fun of me for being so old school…here’s what I did. I wrote down your name on a piece of paper for every item you made. So if you made 2 items your name is written on 2 pieces of paper and on 8 if you made 8 items. My husband thinks that’s funny and keeps telling me about random number generators. And I say no way, not this time…your names are in my mixing bowl and I’m going to say the prize and make him pull a name out. It’s more fun like this, for me anyway.
Let’s get started:
Our first thank you gift is a SINGER ONE PLUS Sewing Machine!

Request #1—If you didn’t win a gift, blame my husband…he picked your names out of the orange bowl!
Request #2—If you won please please please email us…please…so we will be able to contact you and send your information to our sponsors.
Comment#1—Thank you again to our sponsors for donating such generous prizes. And THANK YOU again to all of you who helped to make Skirting the Issue a success for a second year in a row. I know I keep saying it but that’s because I mean it: We appreciate you.
