Thanks to YOU! Canadian National Fabric, Giveaway No. 10

Jul 17, 2015 | 112 comments

Giveaway No. 10! Don’t miss your chance to enter to win all of the giveaways! There have been 2 giveaways each day this week and there will be 3 today! (Find out more or Link to all of the posted giveaways)

Today’s second giveaway is from Canadian National Fabric. I was really excited to find more fabric for my “Little Red” collection from them earlier this year!

“We offer $5 flat rate shipping across Canada & Free Shipping on orders over $50 (before taxes). Find out more!” ~ Canadian National Fabric

Bebe’s Sewing Tip: The majority of my quilts come from patterns I find in magazines or books. When I’m working on a pattern from a magazine (or book) I find it a pain to have to keep looking back and forth at a magazine/book that’s sitting on a table. I’m always losing my spot on the page or the page flips. Depending on how many different cuts I have to make I have two things that help me.

1) I use a recipe book holder to hold my magazine/book while I’m working. This stops the pages from flipping and I find it easier to look at instructions when they are upright. I also use those reusable “sign here” labels that are used for documents to keep my place on the page. As I complete a cut I move the arrow to the next one.

2) Depending on how many different cuts I have to do sometimes I transfer the cutting instructions onto a dry erase board and erase as I do the cuts.

In this giveaway, two fortunate readers will win a $25 Gift Certificate (CDN funds) to Canadian National Fabric!

This giveaway is open to International readers, from July 17 to July 20 at midnight EST. Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter – and if you don’t have Facebook to sign in with, just use your name and email address. There’s a “click to enter”, no social media login entry too!
