Welcome to Finding Sweet Land!
My name is Jayme and I love a lot of things, especially quilting/sewing. My giveaway is a lovely little pouch that I made using basic steps from the pouch tutorial from Anna of Noodle-head. I love her tutorials!
I'm also including a charm pack of Lil' Rascals by Chloe's Closet for Moda. I know we all think, one charm pack? If I wanted to make a quilt, I couldn't because it's not enough. BUT WAIT!! Have you seen Debbie's Marmalade Charm Pack quilt?? One charm pack, and a little white yardage. Be sure to go back and read her post about how she adapted a tutorial to work for charm squares!
And third, I'm including a full set of 8 vintage post cards tied together with some vintage trim.
So do you want to win?? There are multiple entries available...

My grandmother was my creative inspiration! She taught me to crochet and it's snowballed from there! If it wasn't for her, I don't know if I'd have ever gone into creating things.
ReplyDeleteMy mum, without a doubt! She is the one who made me feel like trying to learn to sew!
ReplyDeleteMy mum of course :)
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother, for sure! She always has the best idea of what to do with a piece of fabric. She is amazing!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! my creative inspiration is my mom (awesome sauce) and for someone famous-- Jane Sassaman, her style is to die for.
ReplyDeleteHi Jayme! I don't have a certain person who is my creative inspiration - rather I see inspiration everywhere I go! Although I must say Angela Walters has definitely been my creative inspiration lately!!

ReplyDeleteSuch a great giveaway! My mother, aunt, and grandmothers all sew(ed), but my style is much more modern than theirs. My creative inspiration would be the fabulous bloggers I follow.

ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of your blog via Google Reader :)
ReplyDeleteThere have been many people in my life that inspired me creatively but one that did it a lot was a sweet older lady in our church who was like a Grandma to me. She loved to make quilts and various fun things for kids. I learned a lot from her. She passed away this past week at the age of 98, I will miss her a lot but her memory will live on in many ways including the various quilting, sewing books she gave me and all the sewing notions that she passed my way.
ReplyDeleteMy creative inspiration would be the incredible Pacific Northwest outdoors that I live in ... no, wait, my fascinating friends! Augh, no, it's all the mesmerizing stuff out on the Internet! Heh.

ReplyDeleteMy grandma was my creative inspiration, along with my aunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

My biggest inspiration is my gran, she taught me to sew before I could even read, and she did all sorts of crafts from glass painting to bead work to weaving and she even taught dying with natural dyes. She made clothes for herself (she always looked very stylish and chic) and for me and my brother as well. My grandmother is who I want to be like, and even if she's isn't able to do much of anything anymore, she's still a big inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteLovely giveaway!! My inspiration is basically about trying new things and learning new skills. If I make a paper pieced block I then have a block but what to do with it - that is when teh cretaivity comes in (but not always successfully!!)
ReplyDeleteOne big inspiration is my mom. We had a weaving room instead of a dinning room growing up and she taught me to value my creativity.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is my creative inspiration as well as my 5 sisters. They are all so talented!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that little pouch!
Genevieve
My little girl, who is to be born in March, inspires me to make all sorts of fun baby stuff.

Hmm, trying to narrow down my creative inspiration to one person is quite difficult. I'd have to say the internet hands down. It is full of creative people, too many to list.

ReplyDeleteI have a friend who is so amazingly creative I've always used her as my guide.
