Once again it is time for the
Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day (week). I'm so excited because I have found something so fun to giveaway that I actually had to purchase two...one for me and one to give away.
I love hexagons and this book has a whole chapter on bags and little quilts made with hexagons.
There are pin cushions and other sweet little projects that would be so fun to give as gifts or keep for yourself.
Yes there are quilt patterns and there are some rather unique projects (not all using hexagons) that I have to ask myself, why didn't I think of that?
I am wanting to get started on that hexagon bag right now, because of course I have a couple of extra hexagons sitting around that would just love to be made into that bag. So, what are you waiting for? Leave me a comment about how you will be spending Mother's Day. My husband and son have something fun planned this year for me, and of course we will be going to see our moms during the weekend also. If you are a follower or new follower you can leave a second comment letting me know you follow for an extra chance to win this great book! I will use the Random Number Generator on May 10 to determine the winner. I will ship internationally, and if you aren't celebrating Mother's Day next weekend, just share a special memory of your mom. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

1 – 200 of 222 Newer› Newest»I work every other weekend, but I do have Mother's Day weekend off, so we'll probably spend one day with my husband's mom and the other with mine.
What a great book - I am a hexy-lover, too, so this would be right up my alley! Hopefully, I will be treated to a nice dinner out with the family for Mother's Day (I have already ordered my fabric present - ha ha !!). Thansk for the chance to win!
Mothers day is always spent helping my momma plant flowers.
Hexies pull me in when I started to quilt. I am still working on a hexy quilt every since then. Now I am in a monthly swap and loving it...Judith, Texas
For Mother's Day, I am looking forward to spending some time with my family. This looks like a wonderful book. Thanks for the chance to win ... :) Pat

Mother's day this year is going to be sad, since it is my first without my mom. I think it will be low key day, just hanging with family.

Mothering Sunday has already happened here in teh UK but since I am Canadian, I will spend Mother's Day quietly remembering my mom who passed away almost 13 years ago.
I follow - yay for your giveaway!!!
Mothers day was in March here in the UK. Sadly my mum is no longer with me and every day brings back special memories of the fun we used to have together, one of my fondest memories was in the last few months of her life, she was tired of all the chemo and all the side effects they bring and wanted to make special cards for all her five children.........so we sat together with glue, card and lots of embellishments and had a lovely time getting messy one Sunday afternoon for an hour or two.
Enjoy your mothers day,
Kim

I don't think we have any special plans for Mother's Day. My daughters both live out of town and I don't think either will be able to come home. But they will call. Thanks for participating in the giveaway.

I love following your blog, Wendy xx
As all our kids live in different states, I just want to spend the day sewing or maybe relaxing at the beach. And dang it...I want someone other than myself to cook me dinner. I guess I should drop that hint on my husband...you think?
I hope to spend the day enjoying life as a Mom...oh, and maybe getting to sleep in the morning too. :-)
I follow your blog, as well!
I am going out to dinner with my daughters and their families. I hope you have great Mother's Day..
I follow you by e-mail. Thank you for sharing this give away.
I have no idea what my husband has planned, but I hope it envolves some fabric, maybe one of the quilt books I showed him I would love to have, a little time to sew, and a bubble bath, oh and him making lasagna! He makes the best! Thanks for the chance to win!

Love this book, I currently have it on loan from the library. My mum is coming to stay with me for Mother's Day, so I am looking forward to that. Thanks for the chance.
Unfortunately, we are many miles from our children, grandchildren, and my mother. We will most likely skype with our grandchildren, and I will call my mom.
Well so far I think my kids have always been sick on Mother's day (7yrs) so hopefully they won't be this year~
We will probably be spending mother's day at grannies.
i will be going out to eat with my hubby

Church with the family and then brunch at the beach. Should be fabulous - I won't have to cook or do dishes :)
I have so many memories of my mom - once we were in the mall and she said ' if you see anything that we could buy for dad (for father's day), shout' - so a few minutes later my sister and I BOTH shout and mom didn't know why so we said she told us to!!! Guess you had to be there! ;)

That little book looks charming and I would love to own it. Thanks so much for the give away.
ooooh that looks like a fun little book!
Not quite sure how my Mother's Day will turn out - I have asked for the day to be filled with sewing! I think the kidlets are hoping for a sausage on a stick fire in the middle of the sheep paddock to celebrate.

Mother's day has been and gone here! I got breakfast in bed from my little ones. Barely edible, but so cute!!
We do not celebrate Mothers Day in this part of the world but that book sure looks good!
Last year was so busy that I just want to stay home this year! We will see... I may get overruled by my children wanting to see their cousins, though. :)
I plan to spend it with my husband and little girl.
Wow!This looks amazing,so generous of you.We would go out,little walk in the nature,little coffee and fav coffee shop.Amazing giveaway,thank you for the chance to win it.

We already had mother's day here, last Sunday, we had lunch with my mom!
I think we will spend a lot of it planting in the garden. It rained all of last weekend.
I am waiting to get all my stuff from North Carolina to Montana, my new home. Having some sewing stuff in two different places doesn't work.
I am hoping to get to sleep in while my husband makes breakfast for the kids and I. Later in the day we are all going to my Mom and Dad's for a Mother's Day potluck supper with all of the family and my Grandma.
My kids visit, My sons and I usually recycle a fun project
My mother is out of town and I'm not yet a mom, so my husband and I will probably stay home and get work done. Boring, but productive!
Unfortunately, my mom lives hours away. I'll be giving her a nice phone call this weekend though!
It's finals week.. I'm doing a master's and I really should spend it getting final papers done :P
We do not have any definite plans but we might go up and visit my family. I am not a mommy yet :(
I am spending the day quietly at home, but expecting to see 2 of my (grown-up) children on the 16th - can hardly wait!
All I've been told is to expect a breakfast gathering! Hmm.....
I'm sure my hubby will make a delicious dinner.

What a cute book! I love small projects! I will definately be going out for dinner on mother's day- can't wait! thanks for the chance!

To be honest I have no idea what I will do on mothers day. My mum is overseas and I am not used to mothers day being about me not her. I guess I will find out Sunday ;)
I'm treking back to my home town for the weekend and will spoil my mum!
We've already had mothers day here. I remember one year baking a cake for my mother on mothers day. I iced it as well and then hid it in the oven until after dinner so it could be dessert. I have since learned that even if the oven is off it's often still warm from baking and icing and heat don't go together!
My aunty invited our whole extended family out for brunch on Mothers' Day! :)
I don't really know what I'll be doing - my mom lives a long way away from me, so I won't be seeing her. I'll probably spend a lot of time sewing and trying to catch up on things before the weekend is over.

This book looks great! I will be going to church on Mother's Day.
ah, what a great book! I'll probably do very little. I am over 34 weeks pregnant myself and have to take in VERY easy.....
I'm not sure what Mother's Day will be. I'm tired of planning for everyone, so I'm not doing anything and will see what hubby and kids (ages 5, 3, 1) come up with. No expectations. I will probably give flowers/small gift to my mom & MIL.
Thanks for the chance - I have two giveaways going on too: www.craftyhour.com

For Mother's Day I am going to "the big town" 50 miles away to attend church with my DD and SIL and then enjoy the rest of the day with them.
