Bag and apron giveaway

Our Quilt Market booth featured this awesome Calliope print apron made by Etsy seller Perdoozy and this Fireworks print bag made by Etsy seller Blue Blossom Girl. They were a big hit! Would you like to own them... free? Win them by leaving a comment on this post sometime between now and Friday (11/7) at midnight, and I'll use a random number generator to pick the winner. I'm curious to know what all of you do, so leave a comment listing your profession. You know, whether you stay home with kids or drive a firetruck or whatever. And make sure there's a way for me to contact you if you win so I can get your mailing address.

UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Comment number 963 was randomly generated as the winner. Congratulations to Kara, who said, "I have great love for orange as well and love seeing how you use it!"

  72. I'm a licensing coordinator. I work for a loungewear company that has several contracts with major brands to produce licensed goods. It's very technical, a little yawn sometimes because I have to read contract and do repetitive stuff. But I love the people I work with and it’s consistent. To get by I'm exploring my creative side by writing, doing DIY crafting, trying to get back into graphic design, learning photography, and to sew on the side. And I have to say I love your patterns. I just bought a couple of yards with no plans on what to use them for. I did use one of them last week for favors for the kids at a baptism. I'll send you a photo soon. I would love a bag or apron. They are adorable!!!!!!!

  137. Wow - 948 comments so far! Some great items in your give away :) LOVE that apron! Which would fit well with my job - stay at home momma to a 4 year old girl and 5 year old boy. I go through aprons like they are going out of style. At least with that apron, I could have a little style back for a few days :) Thanks!!
