I didn't say anything, because Kat might have got into a strop, but in actual fact I was one of the many lucky winners in the recent Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. Some people Kat think I have been a on a real winning streak and just might have cheekily hinted at that on their blog. I am trying not to have a big cheeky grin on my face here, because I won again and Kat will be shaking her head in disbelief.
I won a prize from the lovely Vicky over at The Accidental Crafter. She makes gorgeous stuff and I was the recipient of some of it.

The scarf is fabulously beautiful and will put a little much needed style into my life. I have never sewn with voile but am now seriously contemplating ordering some. It is soooooo soft, and the colours of this AMH are beautiful. And because you just have to loop the scarf around your neck a couple of times and it instantly falls into a nice draping, elegant way I no longer have to stand in front of the mirror struggling not to look like a five year old who has been dressed by her grandmother. This is a very good thing!
So I would like to extend a huge thank you to Vicky for being one of the many participants in the SMS Giveaway Day, and for picking me as one of her winners! I received her parcel in record time, just two days before Christmas all the way from Australia and it was post marked the 19th. The Post Office must have been working overtime!
If you like the scarf and were unfortunate enough not to win one like me (Sorry Kat!) then here is the link to Vicky's post about making it. Now, I had best be off to browse some websites and see what is out there in the way of voile!

Congratulations! Fabulous winnings! I have been admiring those scarves for a while now and am wondering when I'm going to just break down and try one. Heaven knows I need all the help I can get with style!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love the fabric in your scarf! will you let me know if you find any of this fabric in the UK?? can we see you wearing the scarf please????
ReplyDeleteYou kept that one quiet didnt you! Lovely scarf :-)
ReplyDeleteoooh, lucky you! I was reading her post about making it yesterday evening. I have seen a few that have been made and am very tempted...!
ReplyDeleteWell done - I love the scarf so much! I need to trade some Next vouchers for fabric!!
ReplyDeleteOoh great prize - although it's reminded me I need to sew the ends of the infinity scarf I've made for my S-I-L's birthday!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you're sorry at all about winning it ;o) It was one of the more beautiful giveaway items too *sigh* Oh well, I'm sure it looks just great on you (sorry, did you hear my gritted teeth there? ;o) )
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize!!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks lovely-such so soft and pretty! Enjoy your winnings!
ReplyDeleteLucky Susan! Enjoy a snug scarf to keep the cold out!
ReplyDeleteAwwww...thanks Susan for writing such a sweet post, I do hope you enjoy your goodies.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a classy scarf, I think we need pictures of the scarf in action!
ReplyDeleteOh well done you! I've seen these lovely voile scarves about blogland, must add it to my 'would love to try this someday' list! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI am curious why we didn't see pics of you modeling the scarf. It is a lovely scarf for sure. I think I need to order some voile and my mom a scarf or two. I found a video to help me make an infinity scarf because I just couldn't understand the written tutorials (I guess I am too dense). LOL
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, what a lovely prize!
ReplyDeleteI can certainly vouch for the loveliness of Anna Maria Horner's voiles, although not actually what they're like to sew with!
For anyone looking to buy them in the UK, Kate at M is for Make has a lovely selection and also has flannels - a flannel/voile combo would make a gorgeous snuggly winter scarf.
Saints and Pinners also have the voiles and Raystitch also have some of the older line at a good price.
You can tell I don't spend much time drooling over fabric online!
gorgeous goodies! I adore the scarf, that fabric is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky girl indeed. The scarf is fab and the little card just adorable :)
ReplyDeleteThat scarf looks so soft. Very pretty, lucky girl aren't you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you are on a lucky streak.
