It’s a Giveaway!


I’ve participated in plenty of blogger giveaways, but always as the one hoping to win (which, in fact, I have been lucky enough to do twice!). Now it’s my turn to give back as part of the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day. There are a five hundred-odd blogs participating, and just for the price of leaving a comment, you’ll be entered to win. I’m offering up a brand-spanking new wallet that I made just for this giveaway. It’s made from both re-used and new fabric. The outside is remnants of a linen blouse with pintucks that I used as inspiration for the padded quilting that runs in the opposite direction. Inside are two pieces from the new Spring Street line by Carolyn Gavin and a colorific polka dot that I used for the trim, too.
You can win this totally one-of-a-kind wallet by leaving a comment. Tell me what you like about it, or what you’d like in another version. Or tell me what you think about the new Strawberry Patch quilt I’m working on:

The Strawberry Patch quilt is coming together slowly thanks to all that patchwork.

You have until Friday to leave a comment. Like Crinkle Dreams on Facebook for an additional entry. I’ll be choosing a winner on Saturday, shipping on Monday. I’ll ship it anywhere in the world, too. The U.K., Malaysia, Easter Island… it doesn’t matter where you live. (I’m probably jealous, anyway, if it’s outside the U.S. and warm.)

Not loving this one? Check out the others in the Etsy shop.

    I love the fabrics and I love that it fits so many cards. Just beautiful!! 

    1. I love the patchwork of the quilt and the button on the wallet… random, I know 🙂

  2. Seasidesiblings

     Oh I love it- the colurs are stunning and I really like the button. 

  3. The bright colours are wonderful, but I most of all I love the fact that it has reused fabric in it. 

  4. I love your quilt, they are such pretty fabrics. I like how you have used a blouse to make this and carolyn gavin fabric is pretty too. Very cool!

  5. The wallet is so dorable…I love the colored dots fabric…reminds me of bubble printing as a kid…LOve strawberries….maybe you could make a couple of plushie strawberries and stich them in the corner of the quilt or as tassels at the edges! 

  6. Oh, that’s so cute and cheerful, and I love the big blue button sewn on with red thread!

  7. This is sweet!  I could use something like this for the Summer especially.  I hate having to carry a whole handbag around with my bulky wallet.    Love the fabrics in your quilt.  

  8. Heather Stritzke

    I love the polka dots. The colors are so cheerful.

  9. I like the fabric combinations that you used. Your quilt is coming a long nicely. Those are also great fabric combinations! 

  10. Gabrielle Vinay

    I like everything about your cute little wallet, but especially the big blue button and the little pleats. Details like those make me swoon. Thanks for  the giveaway! I am hosting one too, please come check it out 

  11. Hi Theresa, I love that you have used plain fabric on the outside but that there is a zing of colour on the inside. That turquoise button also shouts out against the brown – brilliant colour choices. Thanks for the chance to win!

  12. Rachael Milligan

     I am in desperate need of a new wallet, and yours just look perfect, and just what I need!

    The strawberry quilt looks really yummy! I love the patchwork and the coordinating fabrics.

  14. I just love the fabric.  The idea of having a seperate holder for all my reward cards seems like such a great idea!

  15. Spontaneousthreads

     I love the colors in the quilt, so very lovely. The wallet would be a bonus!

  16. Your such an incredable seamstress. The wallets are just way too cute!! My favorite lately is the neck detail on the dress you just made. Totally CUTE! 

  17. I love all the colors together! I’d also love to see a brown one with teal/turquoise trim! 🙂

  18.  You are an artist working with fabrics and threads instead of canvas and paint. I appreciate your most recent quilt – the way you create a palette of colors and play with the design, juxtaposing inter-related patterns and shapes.

  19. I LOVE the wallet! I wonder what it might look like with a gray outer instead of the straw color? Either way, it’s fantastic.
    And the strawberry patch quilt is that lovely slightly faded red into pink of all my favorite vintage quilts.

  20. Smalltowndiva

     I like that fact that it is a cotton fabric wallet, very cute idea!

  21. I love the colors of the wallet, and that it isn’t all stretched like the one I am currently using.

  22. That wallet is adorable, I love that you used a bunch of cute, bright fabrics!  Thanks for the great giveaway!

  28. Andrea Seidel

    stashavalanche[at]gmail[dot]com

  45.  I love the colors in both your strawberry patch quilt and the wallet.  Another variation I thought of for the wallet would be to use leaf patterned fabrics for the inside and a darker solid for the outside.  About any way you cut and sew it the whole thing is a wonderful one of a kind item.

    Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway!

  46. Marta Irvine

     I’m very impressed with your quilt…I loooooove the colors and patterns possible in quilting, but I just don’t think I have the patience for quilting! I’m not good with straight lines. My Grandma was a wonderful quilter though. Maybe there is hope for me since quilting runs in my family?! 😉

  47. Love your stuff.  So fun and inventive.  Have a great time creating.  

  48. love your little wallet….small enough for my bag definitely but easy to find in it because it is so bright and fun 🙂 thank you for the chance at this great giveaway!
