Traveling Stash Giveaway!



This Giveaway is NOW CLOSED!


The Traveling Stash recently arrived at my house!  
Even Miss Daisy Doodles knows this is a special box!  
This box is FULL!  Seriously, I don't know how Linda got it sealed up!
Want to see what's in it?  Do ya?  Do ya REALLY??  Okay, okay!  I'll open it up!
I'll start by showing you what I took out of the stash.
This is a half yard of Authentic canvas, a remnant of a Fig Tree Print and part of an American Jane panel and two quilting books.
Now let me show you just some of the goodies still in the box!
Do you need a new pattern? There are about 30 in this box!
Need a notion?  There are a few of those, too!
Feeling seasonal?  How about an entire set of patterns for little mini quilts?  I debated for days about keeping these, they are so cute!
Need a little something for a Christmas project?  There's fabric, and a couple patterns.  The pattern with the angel is a darling little advent calendar!  (That striped piece and the red one with white poinsettias are BIG cuts!)


There are more things in the box, but I'm not going to show it all to you, that way the winner will have some surprises!


What am I going to put in the box??  Well........I'll show you later........but it will be some fun stuff!  A book, maybe a couple more patterns, a bit of fabric.... hmmmmm


Would you like the stash to arrive at your door? 


Here are the RULES!
1.  You must be an ACTIVE BLOGGER!
2.  You must be a US RESIDENT!
3.  You must have an email address attached to your comment!
4.  You must promise to fill the box back up with nice things, quilt shop quality fabric, gently used patterns and the like.
5.  Leave me a comment!  Tell me what is making you smile today!  I love love happy comments!


This giveaway will close on Monday, November 21st.  


Good Luck to you all!

That looks like fun, and a great way to pass along patterns that we have and want to share with someone else. I have enough goodies this year to keep me busy for awhile, so working on those for now.

My daughter made me smile today! They are doing a "pow wow" at school today and she's so excited to see who's going to be the chief! She couldn't tell me enough about it.

This box is a great idea. What better way to get some new things and to share what you aren't using?

Denise :) said...

Haha! This post is what's making me smile at the moment!! Looks like you have had some fun unpacking that stash box!! Enjoy -- can't wait to see what you might be putting *in* the box! :)

Miki Willa said...

What is making me happy today? I am almost finished with the hand quilting on my mini-quilt, I get to spend the day with my granddaughter, my JL blocks are all done, and I love my wonderful husband.
I would love to win a turn at this box.

Brita said...

Today is a pouring down, chilly, windy day -- perfect for having to stay indoors and surfing the 'net and playing with fabric!! That makes me very happy :-D I'd love to get my hands on the Traveling Stash -- I was just going through my stuff yesterday and realized I have gobs of things that I may never use that someone else would love, yummy fabrics, embellishments, notions, thread, oh my!

Jennifer said...

It's a terribly gross yucky day here, but this concept and things in the box are making me smile! I'd love to be a part of this, sounds like so much fun!

Colleen said...

Wow! What a cool box! What a neat idea.

Today I am happy for some free time to sew.
I am happy for a husband who works hard so I can sew.
I am happy for the beautiful fabrics I get to touch today.
I am happy for sisters who share my hobby.

Thanks for the giveaway.

Jsoosay said...

I'm working on a quilt with Kaffe stripes! I've wanted to make a quilt with them for a long time so that is making me smile.

Barbara said...

I SO MUCH want to win the traveling stash. Two things are making me smile today: my cat and the very thought of winning the traveling stash!

Melissa @ Sew BitterSweet Designs said...

Watching my two year old play with her Nana's Mardi Gras beads is making me smile today! She is wearing about 20 strands right now and a couple of them are as long as she is tall!

Sherry said...

I just got finished with a major "giggle fit" that got the entire department laughing.

It all started over a conversation with a co-worker about the "Chicken Dance". . .bet you can't get the tune out of YOUR head now, can you????!!!!! ROFLOL

Then there was a comment about my sounding like the Laughing Lady at the Fun House down the shore. That got me off & running (so to speak) again!!!

So, now that I have composed myself enough to write this comment I am hoping that you have a wonderful day.

Polka Dot Classic said...

The Holidays are coming up that puts a smile on my face :)
I would love to add to the box
Enjoy

Melissa said...

Oh, Staci! You've made me drool on my keyboard! That would be bad enough, but I am sneaking on the internet at work and it's not my keyboard!!! LOL! :-P

supersara20 said...

This is such a cool idea! I'd love to get it next!

Mamabill said...

I love this idea. I have some nice things I would like to add.

Kelly said...

This is such a fun idea!!! My 2 year old jumping from the ottoman to the couch is making me smile today--he's just so proud he can do it! :)

grendelskin said...

I just love this concept, it could go on for years! Today I'm happy that it's not yesterday: my head cold is mostly gone and work was evilly yukky yesterday so today it's all a breeze. And the thought of what I'd put in the box for some other blogger/sewist to find, and what I'd find, is making me smile too!

Jessica said...

I meet the qualifications! :) What made me smile today was waking up and realizing that it is Wednesday - my stressful week is half-over! Woo!

Sarah Craig said...

What's making me smile today? The sun is shining here in Tampa, and it's raining in Nashville - I flew out of Nashville this morning for five glorious days in the sunshine!!!

Vroomans' Quilts said...

I finished my X-mas shopping today! That is worth a BIG smie. I love those mini patterns and would be so great as I bought a mini-stand for my 'year of mini quilts' - for a year of smiles.

Crafty Newbie said...

I would love a chance to win! Lots of wonderful things in the traveling stash! Thank you!

Ann Marie @ 16 Muddy Feet said...

I went into work early today, so that means I got to leave 2 hours earlier too. Which means 2 xtra hours of sewing time today! YIPPEEE!!! I love surprises, I hope the traveling stash can come visit me. 16muddyfeet@gmail.com

Byrdi said...

I get to see my boyfriend soon! I'm so excited! We're at different colleges and I haven't seen him in 2 weeks.

Sharon said...

That traveling stash looks absolutely fantastic! Would love to win that box of goodies. Hearing my granddaughter's laugh just a few minutes ago sure made me smile - she's a doll and so funny. Well, thanks for the giveaway.

miamihoney said...

Cool box! Snuggling with my little boy makes me smile :)

phillysblarney said...

I would love to participate. My address is phillysblarney@gmail.com. My sister is at my home and we are quilting away having so much fun. My most important source of happiness is my dear husband.

elizabeth said...

I am excited that my husband comes home tonight after a business trip to Atlanta : )

Wendy said...

Wow! What great goodies is in that box! I would love to take part in this.....life itself is making me smile today! It was raining so hard earlier and my little doxies ran outside when I opened the door in a full run....until they realized it was raining and they were sliding trying to stop and get out of the rain! It was hilarious!

Leah said...

I love following this box around and seeing what people take and add. I would love even more for it to land on my door. :) Today I smiled when I picked up my kids from school. They always have great stories to tell when they get home.

Shannon said...

Thank you for blogging about my give away. I will do the same for you! I would love to have a shot at THIS box next. Thank you! What is making me smile is my puppy. He is so small but thinks of himself as a large large dog. He runs over the other dogs and walks around the house like he owns it, LOL!

MissMary said...

Today I am smiling because I called my dad and found out which surgery center my mom will be at tomorrow, and then I called that center and conspired with the girl who answered the phone, wrapped Mom's quilt and bought ingredients for monkey bread, gotta put fresh batteries in the camera... I'm smiling because I'm so excited for tomorrow! YAY!

Colleen said...

Today I am smiling because I get to quilt all day.
That is great.
I also smile because I have a great life.

Thanks for the giveaway

Stray Stitches said...

Wow! How come I don't remember some of those things in the box - lol! I would love another chance at that Traveling Stash.
What's making me smile today? My hubby didn't wake me up during the night with his coughing. That is a very good thing :)

Colleen said...

This is the third time I have tried to enter this contest.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I hope it works this time.

Dirt Road Quilter said...

How fun! I would love to take a peek inside that box! Looks like there are goodies galore, but how in the heck can we fit more in there? Today the colts are making me happy. It's cold this morning and they are frisky and frolicking around like children who have gotten into the candy stash. Their soft noses and warm breath make me smile. Nothing like kisses from a horse first thing in the morning.

highpitchedbarking said...

Would LOVE to receive the traveling stash.

Email is: highpitchedbarking@gmail.com in case it isn't attached. =) I wouldn't want to be disqualified.

What is making me happy today is that I will be seeing Breaking Dawn part 1 at the midnight showing tonight so I have been watching the first three movies all day in preparation. =) Hubby is also taking me to see the Rockettes tonight so I am doubly happy today.

Becky said...

Please add my name. I'd love to welcome the Traveling Stash to my sewing room.

Smiling today because it's my Friday! Thanks for the chance, Staci!

"I belong," too, so I have many reasons to be happy. Thanks for the stash chance.

I am smiling today because I am so happy to have beautiful healthy kids, and my baby girl is just starting to smile, so I love to see her big goofy grin. Thanks for the chance to win this, it looks like so much fun!
