Welcome to Blog Giveaway Day. I am participating, along with eleventy-seven other bloggers, to give away fun handmade and crafty stuff via the Sew,Mama,Sew blog.
Here’s what you need to do to enter.
1. Make a comment on this post answering this question: What is your favorite handmade object?
(Don’t worry if your comment doesn’t show up right away. I have to approve it first. I will do that whenever I can throughout the day.)
2. Make sure I can contact you. Enter your email address in the comment form. There’s a place for it. It will not be published, so no one but me will see it. I will not send you spam. But I do need a way to contact you if you are a winner.
What is my favorite handmade object? My collection of handmade Christmas ornaments. I have ones made by my mom, sisters, aunts, neighbors, me, my husband, nieces & nephews and friends. Every one has a story. Every one is different.
What can you win?
Three random winners will get a custom alphabet ornament. You tell me the letter you would like and your favorite color. I will make it custom for you. (Those in the picture are keytags, I will put a long ribbon loop on your ornament.)
One random winner will get a copy of the new book, One Yard Wonders! I am a contributor to the book, so I am already a big fan and I have an extra copy. See my post from a few days ago for a tour of the book and my projects. I will sign it for you if you want me to.

I will ship internationally.
Contest is open until Sunday December 6 at midnight CST. Anybody who comments before then is entered.
Comments are now closed. Thanks for entering. I will announce winners soon!
I’ve glanced at that book and it looks great. My favorite handmade object is probably a baby quilt that I gave to one of my best friend’s firstborn. But the handmade object that gets the most use by me is a tie between my very first knitting project ever (a warm, wool, garter stitch scarf) and my first Unoriginal Hat that I wear every winter.
my favorite handmade gift is most definitely a quilt!!! thanks for having this lovely giveaway! I would absolutely love to win the book!
My favorite hand made object is a pair of gloves that have flip top mittens. I love your letter tags. If I win I would like a letter S with Red!
Honestly?? It’s Food! I LOVE baked yummies as gifts I give and receive.
Hi! Cute ornaments! My letter would be “L” and I like red and aqua. Right now my favorite handmade items are the ornaments my mom painted for me and my brothers YEARS ago! They look perfect on my tree.
My favorite ornaments are some clay snowflakes my girls made last year.
My fave handmade item is a Raggedy Ann doll that my friend gave me for my birthday!
Thank you for the chance. Happy holidays!
My favorite handmade item is a quilt made by my mother-in-law’s mother… stained glass pattern, and completely beautiful! I so appreciate the intricate detail! My letter is G.
My favourite handmade object is a king-size quilt my grandmother made me for my 21st birthday. It is a flying geese pattern and entirely hand-quilted. It will defintitely be a family heirloom.
Gosh, I don’t know if I *can* answer this question — there are so many! The dollhouse from my childhood? The shawl my momma gave me that I wear in my chilly office? The lacy knitted poncho from my sister that is my “go-to” for dressy winter events? My grandmother’s painting of the house my grandfather built? My house is stuffed with handmade objects as I am blessed to come from a crafty family. Here is something that I made recently that I am esp. fond of:

Right now my favorite handmade item is an outfit I made for my little girl. I made distressed jeans to go with a cute little top. It is so hip, I might wear it if it were bigger. =) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
So cute! If I win I would like a “J” ornament. And that book…Aaa! I want it! :)
My favorite handmade object? I have a scrap quilt that my Great Grandma made for my mom. It’s SO heavy and beautiful! In fact, she used an OLDER quilt as batting!! I’ve always wanted to take it apart somehow and make them into two quilts… Soooomedaaaayyy!!

My favorite handmade object I have is a wooden memory box made by my husband’s brother for our daughter who passed away. It’s just so special to us. :) As far as homemade things to make, though, I prefer bags. Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite handmade thing is my current handbag. I have been getting better at making bags and I think that this one turned out great. I hope to win a copy of this book! Thanks for the chance to win!
My fave handmade item is a scrap quilt made by my great grandmother. All handmade no machine used, I love it.
The quilt my new SIL made for my son when he was born. It is what inspired me to start quilting myself!
My favorite handmade object is the quilt my mama made me when I was a baby. Of course. :) Followed by the quilt she made my daughter.
I love your letter ornaments, and since I’ll often buy a yard of a pretty fabric just to have it (oh, my overflowing closet!) the book sounds amazing. I will have to look it up!
My favorite handmade item…too hard to decide! My graduation quilt from my aunt, or the mugs and bowls from my mother, or maybe the hippie top I sewed years ago, which I live in all summer…
My fave item is a quilt my grandmother made me out of many of my old dresses/ childhood clothes. Such memories!

Favorite handmade object is a quilt with fabric from all my sisters and my aunts. I love it and it reminds me of home when I’m feeling a little blue :) Thanks for this awesome giveaway! Warmest wishes!!!
(and Congrats on the book! Looks awesome!!)
My favorite handmade thing is a bookcover my mom made for my beloved thesaurus – my birthday gift when I was in about 5th grade and money was very tight. That thesaurus took me through high school, college, and beyond and still sits on my bookshelf with its (now faded) book cover. Makes me think of my mom and her love during tight times.
I would love to win one of your ornaments!
I think my fave handmade object is the first dress I made my daughter. I made it in a 4T (she’s still a 2T) back when she wore 18mos. I wanted her to be able to wear it for a looooong time!
BTW the book looks good! I’m gonna put it on my Wist, and maybe Santa will bring it!
My favorite handmade item is The Oseberg Ship. Nothing else comes close.
I love one of my dolls hanmade! I bought it to a blogger partner!

This is a hard one! I have so many…a nativity set we made when the girls were young, a dresser my husband crafted himself out of old fencing, a ceramic bowl my youngest made in school, a picture quilt I made when my oldest daughter was pregnant,of her and husband, their baby pics on up to them dating.
Thanks for the give-away. Have a Blessed Day and Merry Christmas
ooopsss! forgot to include a letter lol…T for my new grandson!!!
my fave handmade objects are knit baby hats!
My favorite handmade items are the dolls that my mom and grandmother made for me as a child…. they are treasures!
My favourite handmade item right now would be the cuff links I custom ordered for my boyfriend for Chrismukkah. We play a lot of Scrabble and really love it, and the cuff links have his initials made out of Scrabble tiles! Not only are they meaningful to use, but they’re also pretty hilarious!
I love your ornament idea (and One Yard Wonders is actually on my Christmas list) – I would love to win! I’m also hosting a giveaway on my blog for giveaway day so stop by and enter if you’d like!
My favorite is a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l scarf my sister knit for me. She spent hours and hours on it, and it is perfect for me (perfect colors, perfect design … perfect in every way!). Whenever I look at it, I feel so special that she spent the time to make it for me.

My favorite handmade item is the filet crocheted angels and snowflakes that my great-grandma made for my daughter the year she was born. My great-grandma only got to meet her once before she passed away, but she picked out her favorites and packaged them up to give my daughter for her first Christmas.

My favorite is probably the cross-stitched picture from my college roommate and close friend that I keep next to my sewing machine. It’s hard to pick a favorite though! Thanks!
