Patchwork Style by Suzuko Koseki & Fabrics Giveaway!

giveaway
So I talked a bit about Suzuko Koseki in the
previous post. I thought I'd go over about
her book, Patchwork Style today and give you a
chance to win a free copy of the book and fabrics!!

su1

In this book, there are 35 patchwork projects
ranging from a little coin purse to kitchen items,
handbags, pillows and quilts.

su3

Suzuko shares with you several different
techniques including applique, logcabin, free
machine stitching, and quilting in her projects.

su2

Every time I flip through the pages, I find something
in this book that I hadn't noticed before. The
more I look closely at each project in it, the
more I find out small details that make each
project so cheerful and special.. I just love it.

So today I'd like to host a giveaway for this book
AND Suzuko Koseki fabrics! Two lucky winners will
receive Patchwork Style book from its publisher
and one of you will win a set of two fat quarters
of Suzuko Koseki fabrics from me! (I'll pick
fun SK prints for you in Japan!)

To enter this giveaway, just leave a comment
telling me about your favorite moment in the day.
Oh and let me know if you specifically want
either the book or the fabrics. If you don't
say anything about it, I assume you are up to both.

I will pick three winners on the 20th of this month
and will announce them on the 21st - next Monday!

Good luck :)

  1. My favourite moment in the day is early in the morning - I wake up at 5.30 and I get to have a good hour and a half to myself before I have to drag my teenage daughter out of bed. That's my "mental health" time to read murder novels or watch Glee on the computer or do a crossword puzzle or some hand sewing. thanks for the awesome giveaway - I'd love to win that gorgeous book!

  6. My favorite moment of the day is tiptoeing into my kids room to watch them sleep. Their faces all relaxed and squished into the pillow. Their deep breaths of sleep relaxing me instantly and letting me know all is well with my world.

    The fabric would be lovely! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  7. I get up very early in the morning, just because I do. I usually make the coffee & bring it back to bed & read. When the birds start chirping around sunrise, I know my quiet time is over & I'm ready to start my day, but I love that early morning time!
    I'd probably prefer the fabric-it was funny because after I read your post the other day, I discovered that I do have some of her fabric. I collect vintage buttons & just recently bought a couple of her button prints.

  16. My favorite moment of the day is very late afternoon when it's getting dark--the light is soft and purple in the winter. It reminds me of cozy things and home and Christmas.

  35. I have 2 favorite times of day... just like many others, the early morning start is wonderful. peaceful. quiet. calm. then all hell breaks loose as my toddler wakes up and our puppy and our older dog try to steal her attention from each other. My other favorite time... 5:00PM. I love leaving work. I work with my husband so it's great to be able to ride together and spend a little extra time "alone" in each others company :) thanks so much for the giveaway. I'm definitely up for either!

    ReplyDelete
  36. My favorite moment of the day is my early morning quiet time where I go through my devotional of the day and just spend time quietly sipping coffee before I have to hit the shower to get ready for work.

I am familiar with the quality of the Japanese fabric you have (I still have not been able to force myself to use the last FQ I bought!) and I love that book! Karin

  45. My favorite time of any day is if I have a chance to be in my home, all by myself. Waiting for the rest of the family to come in with all their energy, I can relax, have a cup of tea, knit or read blogs/ravelry, and enjoy the quiet for a few minutes. Perfect time to look at fabric stash or a new book!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ooo...that book looks amazing! My favorite moment of the day is without a doubt when I put on my pj's!

    ReplyDelete
  47. My favorite moment is when my kids get up and snuggle on either side of me and ask for a story. They are 6 and 8 and probably won't snuggle for too many more years so it feels really precious.

    ReplyDelete
  48. All day is good for me but probably the best is dinner time! Apart from me always being hungry, its the only time of the day when I see my 2 teenage sons and the 21 year old all in one place. They even say more than a grunt which is their usual form of communication. My husband has always made it a point to be home with us and my 86 year old father in law also joins us. After dinner everyone just seems to disappear so for that scant half hour we are together.

    ReplyDelete
  49. My favourite moment is in the evening when our whole family is together and we're talking, laughing and enjoying one another's company.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

  65. Today I went on a solo trip to London. :D It's my first time traveling alone, although London is only about 2 hours away by bus. My favourite moments are those "bad" things that always turn out to have many good things behind it. For instance, missing the 8:10 am bus, deciding not to go to the museum that I am writing about for an assignment because it was getting dark and the area could be unsafe... There are always reasons for things to happen the way they do. I also unexpectedly met a few lovely friends. :)

    ReplyDelete

  93. Wow what a fab giveaway. I would love either if I am lucky enough to win. My favorite part of the day is just after work in the afternoon. I get home at 3pm and get out my material and sew. I am just doing a patchwork course so am very new to sewing but it is so addictive. Would be a fab prize for me. Don't have much material stash at the moment and the book looks amazing. Thank you. x

  97. When I get home from work and have time to sew or read or just sit on the deck and have a spot of tea and watch the birds. Book or fabric doesn't matter, both are great. I love all your projects and tutorials, they are very well thought out and your images are perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  98. My favorite part of the day is when I get my daughter in the morning from her crib and she is always so excited to see me! She's equally delighted every day to have me there and starts to show me all of her toys. It's precious.

    And Book or fabric would be great...maybe a little more book...but that's just because I have less books than fabric. LOL.

    ReplyDelete

  133. My favorite time of day is when my kids get home from school, they walk home from school together by themselves (they are only 9 and 11 but they insist they are old enough and it's not far) and I always worry and watch the clock, so as soon as I see them coming I open the front door and they come running up yelling "mummy" and give me a big hug - can't beat that!!

  140. My favourite time of the day is actually a month and time.. In Australia our summer holidays are in January and it can get very hot.. My kids are off school for 6 - 8 weeks..

    In the afternoon around dinner time the sun is setting. We all have a swim and then a BBQ. Best time of the day.

  141. My favorite time of day is definitely the wee hours of the morning, even tho I don't see it much these days. There is just something so peaceful when the rest of those around you are fast asleep...

    ReplyDelete
  142. My favorite part of the day is storytime with my children. We snuggle under blankets, and look at a picture book. Then I read a "ears only" story while they settle in for naptime. I love this special pause in the busy-ness of the day, its a precious time of communion for us.

    I'd love to be entered in the drawing for book and fabric! I'm so drawn to the beautiful designs. Thanks so much! I read and enjoy your newsletter every time it comes in :0)

    Muito obrigada pela oportunidade de participar desse sorteio.

    Querida Ayumills, conhecí seu blog recentemente. Sou seguidora e recebo atualização das postagens. Seu blog é fonte para meu aprendizado de patchwork. Admiro tudo que você produz. Não conhecia os tecidos especiais de SUZUCO KOSEKI, pois ainda estou iniciando no patchwork e só posso comprar tecidos daqui do BRASIL.
    Deus lhe abençoe, proteja, ilumine e lhe dê muita saúde, paz, amor, felicidade, prosperidade, sucesso, e tudo de bom que você desejar.
    Um abraço com muito e beijos no seu coração.

  176. Dear Ayumi, thank you for this wonderful giveaway idea! I shall be looking forward to the announcement of the winners, especially that November 21 is my birthday, and I believe people are very lucky on their birthdays.
    I have two favorite moments of the day: the first is in the morning when I have my first cup of coffee and read all the crafty newsletters and blog comments in my mail, and the second is those few moments of twilight when you walk in the street and everything looks so different, so much more romantic than in the broad daylight.

    ReplyDelete
  177. thanks for such wonderful giveaway! i'm up to both of course!! :)

  180. My favorite time of day is the evening after dinner. I know we've all been fed, and that since it's so late I've accomplished pretty much everything I'm going to get done that day, so that time is for me...for hanging out with the family, working on crafty projects, zoning on Youtube for a while, whatever I'm in the mood for. Lately we've been playing games as a family and I love that. I haven't seen this book before and I am in dire need of new fabric so I'm so excited for this giveaway! You can email me at Elizabeth_burr@yahoo.com too.

HI Ayumi, great giveaway...well my favourite time of the day would be in the afternoon when everyones's away at work and busy so no phones ringing, no bells at the door and I can sit with my cup of coffee and read, sew or just lie on the sofa and stare at the ceiling fan :) Its tough to choose between the fabric and the book but I'll go for the fabric. Much Love.
