Another frequent response was how you love to watch a smile spread across the face of the person receiving your handmade quilt. Beautiful!

The Moda Half Moon Modern Sewing Room series has been one of our most popular ever. Makes sense... we all love sewing, so why wouldn't we all love fixing up our sewing spaces? Especially with a fabric collection as bright and happy as Half Moon Modern. The Moda gang sent us some wonderful fabric cuts as well as some special notions and batting. Then, we added a few extra presents from our own Sew4Home goodie closet. Put it all together and you have a Great Giveaway that will send 2011 out with a bang! To enter, simply leave a short comment below telling us what makes you happy about sewing with Moda Fabrics.

"I can't imagine a prize I would enjoy more!" Our latest Great Giveaway winner did a double take when the email announcing her good fortune arrived in her Emailbox. Having never won anything before, she was stunned it was finally her chance to shine.

Our final Artist Trio Series with Free Spirit Fabrics , this one featuring Joel Dewberry, goes out with a BANG today with the most fabric cuts EVER in a Great Giveaway. This Artist Trio was short, running just over the past four days, but oh-so sweet! Joel Dewberry has always been one of S4H's favorite fabric designers. We loved getting to know him during our interview and working with his latest Heirloom collection for our Thanksgiving Traditions projects. Our friends at Free Spirit sent a super generous selection of gorgeous Heirloom fabric for one lucky Sew4Home fan: TWENTY-NINE one yard cuts of the quilting cottons, TWELVE one-yard cuts of the amazing laminates, and Joel's FIVE Eclectic Modern sewing patterns. Wowee Zowee, Batman... this is a super prize. To enter, simply leave a short comment below about a fabric heirloom someone made and passed down to you or one you are creating now to become a favorite tradition.

First thing every morning, I see Joel Dewberry fabrics. I used two prints from his Deer Valley collection: Antler Damask in Gourd and Architectural in Goldenrod to make a 'hiding curtain' in my bedroom. Not only does it look marvelous, my husband and I came to immediate agreement on the fabrics - which we do not always do. In Joel's collections, there is a wonderful combination of strength and grace – intricate beauty and bold statements. We are so excited to have him as the featured designer for our third Artist Trio feature with Free Spirit Fabrics.

On October 10th, we ran a guest tutorial from Renaissance Ribbons with Elaine Schmidt. It was a lovely patchwork pillow design to start with, made even more beautiful with the use of Kaffe Fassett ribbons and fabric, and topped off with a Great Giveaway of two ribbon kits. Our winners are now all tied up.

During the last nine days of our Lush & Plush Series sponsored by Fabric.com, we've run a great group of projects, tips and product reviews to get you working like a pro with flannel, Minky, faux fur and faux leather. Today, to cap off the two weeks, Fabric.com has provided us with a $150 gift certificate, allowing one lucky Sew4Home fan to go on a dream shopping spree. For a chance to win, simply leave us a comment about what you would want to shop for.

"This is exactly what I need to protect my machine... the patterns are great! And I love the pom pom trim." This was the comment drawn at random to win Bari J.'s cool kit: everything needed to sew her  Paris Apartment Sewing Machine Cover... right down to the that pretty pom pom fringe!

The Moda Bundle o' Fun prize package arrived on her doorstep on a day she was taking care of her grandson after kindergarten. They opened it together and the little boy could see she was thrilled. "Grandma, why do you like fabric so much?" She sighed and smiled. "Because it makes me feel like an artist and an inventor. I can create so many things. And I do!" Our latest Great Giveaway winner finds much happiness in being able to sew for others.

It's here! The final chapter in our Moda Storybook Bedroom is our one-of-a-kind Sew4Home picturebook. We wrote a little story and designed a pretty book to go along with the adorable illustrations from Lil' Rascals by Chole's Closet – the collection we used for all our Storybook Bedroom projects. The picturebook is posted here as a free download, courtesy of Moda. Reading with the children in your life is one of the very best experiences you can give them. We hope you enjoy sharing the adventures of Lil' Benny, who loses his blanket but finds some very special friends.

These tiny clips are so handy for holding hair in place. They're lightweight, inexpensive and available everywhere. On the other hand, embellished hair accessories are pricey, so why not make your own! After trying to wrap a ponytail holder without crushing the attached flower, it came to me that it would be easier to just clip the flower to the band after the band was on. Turns out, these little clips have holes next to the hinge springs and you can attach a flower to them by simply sewing it in place. Then you can attach it to your hair, an elastic ponytail band or a headband. Mix and match, wear one, two, three or more. Turn a bad hair day around by rockin' some pretty flowers.

A sewing room sounds like such a tranquil place filled with lovely soft fabrics. But, there are plenty of sharp and pokey... and hot things lurking, and plenty of ways for things to go wrong if you don’t think ahead.

What is the best way to finish a raw edge? This is a question we get, in one form or another, nearly every day at Sew4Home. Bias binding and piping queries are the most frequent, but we also get cries for help about basic hemming, corners, curves and more. As part of our You Asked 4 It series of responses to visitors' questions, we've put together this summary article of our favorite On The Edge tutorials.

"Because I'm a procrastinator, it helps me to personalize my projects by tacking up a picture of the person I'm sewing for or even tacking up the 'space' the project will enhance. Each time my energy wanes, I quickly glance at the picture and my energy is renewed!" This is the How Do You Personalize comment we drew at random in our latest Great Giveaway. Our lucky winner received an amazing Loulouthi prize package from Free Spirit Fabrics and Anna Maria Horner.

"I completely LOVE the idea of using these colors in a nursery!" This was the response of the deeee-lighted winner of our Michael Miller Fabric-In-A-Fabric-Basket Gift Bundle from the recent Michael Miller Citron-Gray Nursery Series. Working with unexpected colors and designs, as we did with the Citron-Gray nursery, is a hallmark of the tutorials here at Sew4Home. We love to show you what fantastic results can be achieved by mixing unique patterns and colors together. And... we love to shower you with free gifts too!

We had such fun putting together our Storybook Lil' Boys Room with fabric from Lil' Rascals by Chloe's Closet for Moda Fabrics. Finding good options for 'boy projects' can be a challenge, but the vintage motifs and warm color palette of the Lil' Rascals collection fit the bill: snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Over the last several weeks, we've posted eight great tutorials perfect for when you're ready to update from the nursery to a big-boy toddler's room. To celebrate our project wrap-up, the cool kids at Moda sent us a wonderful bundle of gifts to give away to one lucky Sew4Home fan. For a chance to win, simply leave us a comment about your favorite children's project.

Buttons and bobbins and bolts, OH MY! The Sew4Home stockroom is full, so it's time for a Mystery Grab Bag Great Giveaway. What's inside the bag? Well... to be  honest, nothing yet.
