S4H Summer School: WIN!
THIS CONTEST ENDED 07/20/12. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.
We hope you've enjoyed your week in S4H Summer School. You uncovered a treasure trove of tips on Monday to LEARN. Tuesday gave you Eight Great Sizzlin' Summer projects to SEW. Wednesday was the day to SHOP in general and through our great S4H sponsors in particular. Yesterday, we encouraged you to spread the love of sewing with Eight Project Pairs to SHARE. And today... there's no final test to study for, just a Great Giveaway to enjoy!
As many of our S4H regulars know, Sew4Home is very proud to be a featured studio is the upcoming August/September/October issue of one of our all-time favorites mags: Where Women Create. As as un-planned lead-up to this big event, we were recently excited to find out we are also in the current May/June/July issue! Riley Blake Designs' regular column, The Business of the Studio features a list of their Top 25 Picks for the web's most Inspirational & Educational Blogs. Whoo-hoo... Sew4Home made the cut!
So... why am I going on and on about this in a Great Giveaway article? Well, other than the fact we're over-the-moon thrilled to be noticed by folks we so greatly admire ourselves, it all leads to the fun items we're giving away.
First, we have a beautiful, hot-off-the-press copy of this month's Where Women Create magazine, with the Top 25 List page flagged. Of course, you'll read that first, but you'll also want to check out the amazingly creative worlds of Shelly Kennedy of drooz studio; Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica herself; heirloom queen, Martha Pullen; and lots more!
Then, when we were getting my own bright red home studio ready for our Where Women Create photo shoot, our good friends at Moda were very kind to send us a box of beautiful pre-cuts to use to help with the decorating. So, now, we're trying to be just as nice by passing some of these lovelies along to you!

Simply sign up for our Sew4Home mail list. Enter your email address into the box at the top of any page on the site - under the bright red heading: Subscribe to Our Newsletter. If you already receive our emails, your work here is done.
Some of you may noticed we sent out a few daily emails a few weeks back as a test. We've had a ton of people ask for this daily reminder in their email box. However, we received a number of complaints about the increase in mail. So, we'd like to use this Giveaway opportunity to take an unscientific survey. If you have a strong opinion one way or the other, leave us a comment below. Let us know if you prefer hearing from us just once a week; if you love hearing what's up every day; or if you like the weekly alerts, but would be interested in a few special notices here and there. We know we can't make everyone happy every time, but... we like to give it the ol' college try.
We will draw one person at random from everyone signed up on our mail list as of midnight PT July 20, 2012. No purchase necessary to enter. Void where prohibited.
We will contact our random winner by email to confirm and coordinate shipping of all the goodies.
NOTE: Due to complex contest legal restrictions and customs requirements that differ from country to country, we are currently able to send prizes to a USA postal address only (cannot be a P.O. Box). Good luck to everyone!

I love everthing about this site! Me and my mother are planning on sewing alot of the projects on here for Christmas presents this year!
I would love a short daily reminder to check out the weekly projects.
I like getting the emails weekly but would also like the occasional ones if something big is up
Love getting your emails! Either way, they are all informative. I do hope I can win!!
I really like the weekly emails. It's always a fun start to my week to see your update in my inbox every Monday. I didn't mind the daily emails, but I do think that for me I like the weekly ones, with special notices as needed. What great giveaways you have. This one is especially nice! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I'm great with the weekly emails!
In general I prefer weekly email updates but I would really like the option to change my preferences myself so that I could switch back and forth depending on my workload. This site would be an exception to the weekly emails for me because I really like the info and projects and hate to miss any of them. I tend to forget to check back between emails so I would try the daily emails first. So excited about the current giveaway too.
I honestly don't mind getting the daily emails, because I often forget to check back later in the week and miss out on the giveaways. So maybe weekly with special reminders. GREAT Giveaway!!!!
I like the weekly alerts, but a few special notices would be great too. Every day does seem like overkill... :)n I LOVE this site, thanks SO much for all your hard work and for sharing it!
I really liked the test mails that were sent out. I love the weekly, but some times mid week, I forget to check back, so those little mails in between were a great reminder that new stuff comes along each day. Why not set up two mailing lists for people to choose from. A weekly digest gets the mail that we all get now and a daily delivery for those of us that want a daily mail to keep us up to date?

I really liked the weekly emails.
I really liked the weekly emails.
I prefer weekly with special notices when appropriate - thanks for asking! Great giveaway! GREAT blog site!
I love the Sew 4 Home projects and can think of several that the goodies in the prize pack would be used for!
I enjoy your weekly emails and I like the format you use outlining each day of the week's project(s). It would be nice to have alerts and special notices throughout the week (example: project highlights, giveaways, list of winner(s) and/or shopping deals). I'm on the fence about daily emails - during a busy week I would benefit from a daily email update to remind me to check out S4H but on the flipside increased daily email(s) really could become bothersome especially, if the content has no real value. Is it possible to set-up an option to Opt-In/Opt-Out of daily emails? Then you could make everyone happy. I’ll be okay with whatever you decide to do with your email campaigns because I don't want to miss anything and I enjoy your projects, shopping info and tutorials!! Keep on doing what you do because you inspire all of us to create and sew!
Thanks for the sharing this awesome giveaway!! AJ@queenofmynest
I'd like to try daily. I too forget to follow up after the weekly email. I catch up later, but sometimes MUCH later, andI'd ratherbe staying current. I learn so much from this site and appreciate the great projects!
Once a week works for me!
I like the daily emails
Once a week with special notices once in a while. WOW!!, thanks for the great giveaway!!!
I LOVE all the inspiration !!!! You may send me as often as you like !!!
I like the weekly emails. this giveaway is AWESOME!
I love the Sew 4 Home projects and can think of several that the goodies in the prize pack would be used for!
I would like to win.
I think a daily update is too much, weekly is fine
I already receive your weekly email and find it very informative because it gives me a heads up regarding what's coming up for the rest of the week too. I think that's great. As far as I'm concerned, it ain't broke so don't fix it! :o)
Once a week is great for me. Thanks
I really liked the weekly emails.
Didn't really find daily emails advantageous.
I really enjoy getting your emails daily!! They inspire me to be more creative!! Thanks!
I think once a week is fine as a reminder but I have it on my list of bookmarked sites that I read first thing everyday.
I think once a week is fine... any more frequently and it becomes overwhelming! Too many ideas and too little time, ya know? Thanks! jlwhite (at) sasktel (dot) net
Just once a week for me. Thanks! Love your tutorials!
I would likerot receive daily emails
I already receive your newsletter and I thoroughly enjoy it! My email preference would be a weekly email with the occasional special notice. I love the information and ideas from this site!
I really enjoy the weekly updates! Thanks for the inspirations!
signed up for the newsletter. I am thinking weekly would be great for me. I can't keep up with daily. thanks for the great things you are giving us all a chance to win,. janita
I'm new here, but I'm thinking I'd like best to use RSS for daily updates and weekly summaries, and then email for rare, super-pecial notices.
DAILY...I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING!!!!!
I like everyday. I am having lots of fun and great ideas coming my way from you.
I already signed up! I hope I'm entered. This is an amazing giveaway maria_eads(at)yahoo(dot)com
weekly, please.
Weekly. :)
Your site gives such great ideas that even the novice can understand. I want to try everything - NOW!
I am already signed up for your newsletter and I love getting all the mail from you and follow you faithfully on FB too!
I like daily! But maybe you could set up some sort of option where people could choose whether to receive a daily or weekly digest email...
I am also for weekly!
Weekly please. I'm trying to cut back on email. ;)
While for the most part, I only like weekly or monthly but for your site - I actually like the daily reminders. I see the weekly and read the announcements for what is coming up during the week but get busy and forget. And you have good stuff and I don't like missing it.
I like the daily - don't want to miss anything!
I liked the reminders, maybe you could compromise and send one mid-week or one on Fri. I would vote for the Fri. one if you need to cut back.
thanks
Weekly is great for me!
