MY GIVEAWAY:
Prize Number One is one of my Little Frame Loom kits in cherry red.
It is a simple weaving loom which is great for small projects and is easy to learn for kids and beginners. You can use a wide variety of materials for weaving – yarn, recycled plastic, paper, novelty fibers.
The kit includes:
• 7 x 5 ¼ inch frame loom
• beater comb for packing the rows of weaving together
• needle-style shuttles in 2 lengths
• instructions with color diagrams & photos, including two ways to warp and finish your project
• link to additional video instructions
I designed the loom and tools and have them laser cut for me from acrylic plastic.Prize Number Two is a tiny quilting hoop ornament in pink and green “flying geese” triangles. The bamboo hoop is just an inch across and the fabric is digitally printed and then hand quilted with some tiny stitches. I also designed these hoops and have them laser cut from bamboo plywood.
(The links above are to similar items in my etsy shop if you want to see more details or photos.)

This is a tough one. I would love to make some nice quilt bed cover. But I would also like to know how to weave some nice belt. Great giveaway!
I have always love learning new things and I don’t know how to weave so I would love to learn how to weave. I am a good quilter and sewer (is that a word?). Great prize thanks.
I would love to learn weaving. I have been quilting for about 3 years now and am always looking for new skills I can learn.
I would love to learn how to weave as I do not know how yet! Thanks for the opportunity!
I would really love to learn how to weave. I just really enjoy learning how to make my own of almost everything. I think it would be cool to be able to make my own linen or woolen cloth. I think your little set looks fun for my kids to try.
I already do enjoy quilting.
i would have to choose quilting…i have done a very little of it but have somehow amassed a rather large fabric stash that aspires to be quilts, etc. someday. i hope to learn/do more quilting soon!
Thanks for the chance at the great giveaway!
I would love to learn to weave, because my grandmother was a weaver and it’s beautiful.
I want to learn BOTH! I know/do a little bit of quilting, but haven’t tried the weaving! You have some lovely items in your Etsy shop!
Thank you for such a generous giveaway!! I think quilting is my next hurdle!
I already know the basics of weaving, and I’d love to quilt, but I’m afraid I don’t have the patience for it…I’m terrible with straight lines! So maybe I’d wish for the patience to quilt. ;)
I want to learn weaving! That fascinates me so much, it’s part of so much of our lives and I’ve never really tried. Clothing, sheets, curtains, upholstery … it’s everywhere. :)
This could be fate knocking, because I have been meaning to make/beg/borrow/steal myself a small frame or a peg loom for ages! I know how to weave on a big floor loom (my granny taught me), but unfortunately I dont have one of those available here in Scotland. I will be keeping my fingers crossed :)
I would LOVE to learn weaving. I am already a quilter and love it, but always admire woven fabrics and would love to incorporate that into some of my sewing projects, especially little bags. Great giveaway!
I would love to win the mini loom for my daughter.
What a lovely selection! I had a similar loom when I was a kid and would love to share this craft with my girls.
I haven’t learned to weave yet, so I’d love to win the loom.
I would like to learn how to quilt. I have many beautiful quilts in my home, but I have yet to make one myself. Thanks for the giveaway.
Weaving has always been one of those things that I would love to learn. I keep thinking some day and it never comes.
I would love to learn both, but I think I would want to learn quilting first. I love quilts and I really want to make one!
I would like to learn weaving, I think it is something my kids would be able to be more involved in helping me with to which always makes a project extra special. Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to learn how to weave, so that I could share that skill with my two young daughters. It would be fun to make gifts and projects together as a family and allowing them to sit behind my sewing machine makes me a nervous wreck. Weaving would be a relaxing and rewarding craft to start.

I would love to learn about weaving. I do some quilting but know nothing about weaving and it looks like so much fun!
Since I already know how to quilt, I would love to learn how to weave. Thanks for the giveaway!
Well, I’d actually like to learn both but I’d love the little hand held loom you’re giving away since I have a number of hoops. Thanks!
I’ve always secretly wanted to learn looming but I had no idea how to go about it. Once I was in Thailand and I saw very young children using traditional looms to make very intricate designs.
I’ve got weaving and spinning on my bucket list! That little loom looks like the perfect place to start! Thanks!
I would love to learn to quilt, but I’d love for my daughter to learn to weave – I think she’d really enjoy it!
I would love to learn to weave! I already know a lot of other fabric crafts including quilting. Your little tiny quilting ornament is quite cute!
thanks!
I want to learn to weave.
I know how to quilt, but I’ve never tried fiber weaving. Your loom makes it look like it would be fun.
Wow all so pretty!! Lets see what do I want to learn about most?? Can I say both??? LOL I love to quilt and I love seeing how different people quilt and their little tricks and methods. Then I have never weaved before and I think that it would be awesome to learn how too….so both :D
I would really love to learn to quilt. My grandmother and other relatives would have quilting bees and make quilts for the church picnics. I feel like it is a semi-dying art and I would love to make a quilt for my girls.
Thanks!
I am super interested in learning how to weave – you can always quilt what you’ve weaved, but it’s harder to weave what you’ve quilted :)
I’ve really been wanting to learn to weave!
I’d love to learn to weave as no-one I know can do it!
i most want to learn weaving. i love fiber and especially all things wool! your loom is neat and i love the bamboo ring, too. :)
Just yesterday my son was given a little wooden loom like this and today we strung the warp threads and started weaving. I was thinking I’d like to get one of my own. Fingers crossed!
Ooh I would really like to learn to weave. I have done a bit of quilting, but it is really too meticulous for my style. I love knitting and would love to add to that with weaving!
I would love to learn to weave. I already knit and crochet so it seems like a natural progression to learn weaving at some point. Winning here would be a great start! :)
I would love to learn weaving as I am already a quilter but the little loom looks perfect for travelling and it is a great colour too.

I decided to teach myself to quilt and am starting off with paper piecing… your tiny hoop is stinking adorable!!

I can, of a fashion, quilt. But I would love to learn how to weave. It would be a much ‘safer’ craft to do with my son.
fingers crossed

I’ve always wanted to learn weaving! it looks so nice. thanks for the chance!
I would like to quilt, it’s something I definetly have to learn, there are so infinite projects to create with quilting!
Thank you for your giveway!
I would love to learn to weave – it is a craft which has always intrigued me. :)
I already started quilted some months ago, and now has been several weeks that I have in mind to learn weaving, cause of its interesting possibilities! It would be great to win the loom!
Oooh, weaving! I think the impatient side of me would find the immediate progress very satisfying. I love quilting, but you have to get through so many steps before it feels like you’re making real progress!
I’d love to win the awesome loom!!! What a fantastic giveaway:)
I would like to win the loom, and I would love to learn to weave, because I don’t know how, and it looks very relaxing….like you could get a rythm going on going and going
That loom may be the most creative shop item I’ve ever seen!! I would love to be able to do this with my grandkids. They think that weekends here should be filled with “making things”, and this would add a whole new dimension! I loved “making potholders” when I was a kid. Except I rarely finished one. I only had 1 bag of the loops, so I’d weave one, take it apart and re-do it, over and over. Money was too tight to spend on potholders! ;-)
