I'm Jennifer: a Southern girl, a former teacher, and now a Home Engineer (aka Mama.)
I’m a mother to two precious young children, a girl and a boy, and wife to a super supportive husband that understands and encourages my creative pursuits. I’m a self-taught sewist and quilter, slightly obsessed with sewing, design, and modern fabric. I'm driven by a need to express myself visually, a love of fabric and design, and the thrill that comes from creating something beautiful from a sketch and an idea.
Before I became a Mama and an obsessed quilter (only kidding-kinda,) I was an elementary school teacher. I've always been crafty but I've only been sewing and quilting for a little over a year.
My obsession passion hit me hard and boy did I jump in with both feet! I hosted my first quilt-along this year with my friend Sarah as well as a really fun Christmas Gift Tutorials Blog Hop. (Check it out, there is still plenty of time to make any of these great gifts.)
Here are a few of the things I've made this year:

Here are a few of the things I've made this year:
I also have a bunch of tutorials you might like to check out including the fun sewing machine cover above, easy placemats, and a modern rainbow star quilt block. Come back tomorrow for an easy and quick table runner tutorial.
Now, on to the goodies!
This past October I attended the Sewing Summit (which was AWESOME btw) and Elena and I hosted a small dinner for some bloggers we wanted to meet. On a whim we decided to put together goodie bags of sewing swag and boy oh boy did we have a great response! The generosity of the sponsors was overwhelming!
So today I am super excited to be sharing that swag with you!
That's right, one lucky winner will get everything you see here.
Woo Hoo! Patterns, notions, fabric.... think of it as an early holiday gift to you!
It's an almost embarrassing amount of stuff- and not my normal giveaway for sure- but I am thrilled to be sharing it with you.
Want to enter to win? Well of course you do!
1. To enter, leave a comment with your favorite word. That is it!
2. For a second chance, become a follower and let me know in another comment. For those of you that already follow, leave a comment saying so.
Wait! Be sure to leave an email address in your comment so I can easily contact you. If I can't reach you, I'll choose another winner. The giveaway will close on Friday, December 16 and the winner will be announced on December 17.
BTW, my giveaway is open to international readers. :)
GOOD LUCK and thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll come back often.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
This giveaway is now closed.
Congratulations to Kristen of KD Quilts! She was the winner of the swag!

When my mom was in a particularly good mood, she would wander the house saying: "windowsill" and "cellardoor" -- quoting the fairies from Sleeping Beauty. So these are the words I think of when you ask for favorites. Can I have two?
