ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bundle - thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog thropugh GFC.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about my favourite sewing notion, but I recently discovered just how important it is to have a good iron. My cat broke my old trustworthy GE iron, and I just haven't been able to get along with my new one :(
ReplyDeleteI love the Gray Stack - Fat Quarter Bundle!!
ReplyDeleteI like the Tactile Fabrics Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite item from the shop is definitely the grey stack, very cool
ReplyDeleteI follow Tactile Fabrics on Twitter, too.

ReplyDeleteHaha,my favorite notion these days is laser cut rulers and templates! I've been working with one metric ruler, and the rest by tape measure in inches! I ordered a onoe by six ruler, and an Essy angle for triangles, and some specials from I'magingermonkey-- heaven!
ReplyDeleteI follow Plum and June in my Google reader!
ReplyDeleteI visited Tactile fabrics and I am enchanted by a bundle called the red yellow blues! I also like Pat Bravo's Dreaming in French!v
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite notion these days... but I'm hoping to finally get an Add A Quarter Ruler. Maybe that will be my new favorite! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love my Bloc Loc! It's great for making HSTs! My rotating cutting mat is essential for this too :)
ReplyDeleteThat bundle is gorgeous, thanks for the chance to win! As for sewing notions, the thing I'm loving right now is my new iron. My old one was good until it quit, but the new one is fabulous! And what's better is that my son surprised me with it for Christmas -- what a great kid!
ReplyDeleteI tried my Angler 2 for the first time last weekend and it is much quicker than drawing lots of lines on the backs of squares!

ReplyDeleteI love the Anthology Fabrics - Flying Free Collection by Adrienne Looman - Dandelions in Coral.
ReplyDeleteMy seam ripper remains my favourite notion. Essential the way I see!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower. And the above comment was supposed to say the way I see, not see!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the anthology fabrics in the shop. And still wondering why I type see instead of sew on the iPad, again and again!
ReplyDeleteI don't really stick to one favourite notion - I could say seam ripper - but to be true it's my least favourite though often used notion ... I will settle for my inch/cm ruler it's the only thing giving me a constant reminder how big inches are (and they are huge)
ReplyDeleteMostly slightly more than a notion, and not that useful singly, but my healing cutting mat, rotary cutter and acrylic ruler are my favourites. So much easier and more accurate than scissors.
ReplyDeleteI already follw you in my google feed reader.
ReplyDeleteI like the bundle of triangles.

ReplyDeleteI like ellie farm in orange!
ReplyDelete1. I would have to say the sewing notion I really enjoy using is the accuquilt fabric cutter. Now if this isn't considered a notion, then my I would have to say since I found "Fuse N Bind" I love using this on small wall quilts. It makes perfect corners on the binding. Thanks for the beautiful give away.
ReplyDelete2. Yes I follow on Google as well as email. Looking forward to reading the postings.
ReplyDelete3. What jumped out at me was the Coral Trio, I think these would make darling pillow cases. Thanks for the give away.

I've been quilting a year and I'm becoming more and more in love with my 3" ruler. It's hard to believe things sewed with a 1/4" seam get out of square but they do and I love this little ruler to square them back up in a jiffy. Thanks for the chance to win.
