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!

My word would be awesome
My favorite word is thankful. And thanks for the chance to win> ellen@myerly.net
My favorite word is Kaboozel. My husband and 3 year old daughter made it up; any time she says it to him he has to give her a kiss.
I'm already a follower! Great giveaway!
My favorite word....hmmm....I hope a group of words count. It would be when my 2.5 year old daughter says "yuv you, mommy." Especially when she isn't prompted and then it normally follows by a kiss and hug. Melts my heart every time!
Im a follower!
I have always loved the word Onomatopoeia!!

My favorite word is Grandpa. My wife would love the items in your giveaway, she's a lifelong quilter. I've been a school trustee for over ten years now.
Peace.
These days my favorite word is family. The past few years have really taught us what family really means.
So.
So I'm a follower So, I think 'so' is my favorite word because I might want to start every single sentence with it.
And I'm pretty sure that Annabella was talking about becoming a mother, but with all the zombie movies and vampire books and other things going on I first thought she meant the other kind of mummy.
Grace. It has many meanings. We say grace before dinner. Some people are blessed with grace. And my granddaughter's name is Grace.
Favorite word - hmmm, so many. Today, I'll say "bloomability" from Sharon Creech's book titled the same. Means "possibilities." One of my grand nieces will be getting this book for her birthday this coming year.
I am now officially a follower, but I've been checking your blog daily for eons. Love reading your posts. Right up there at the top of my list. Thank you, and thank you for this giveaway opportunity.

I love the work oxymoron! LOVE IT! Thanks for a great giveaway!

I was going to say that my favourite word is floccinaucinihilipilification, or the tendency to estimate everything as worthless, but that is a downer and doesn't fit in with everyone else's inspirational words. So instead I will pick "magnasplendent" - if it isn't a word, it ought to be!
Alakazam!! Definitely my favorite word. Just can't say it without smiling. What a fun goodie bag, looks like it was ALOT of work to put together! Thanks for the opportunity and happy holidays!!!
hmm, my favorite word is "pietastic" at the moment - my daughter just made it up to describe the pie i just made. i *think* it's a good thing ;)
