S4H Summer School: WIN!

Printer-friendly versionSend by emailPDF version

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!

One copy of the May/June/July 160-page Where Women Create fab magazine.

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!

Weekly is better - anything more frequent and I usually delete because of so much already in my inbox!

I ABSOLUTELY adore the Petite purse I made from your pattern. The frame is now in stock a joanns.com and I found the exact hooks for the strap on Ebay. My GRAND is going to LOVE it!

Thank you much for the pattern

I don't check my e-mail every day so I would like weekly e-mails or anytime there is a tutorial..  I save the weekly e-mails in a folder for future reference and have used it often.  Love the site!!

I prefer 1 email per week, if i get them everyday, i don't have time to read everything... then i just delete them before even opening them. the email needs to be info that i'd need - like tips, ideas, etc. so i can keep it in a folder/tag it for later use.

I like the weekly emails - that way I don't miss something when the FB posts don't make it to the News Feed, lol! ;)

I like the daily ones - while the weekly ones are great, w/o the daily ones I'd forget some upcoming stuff. Tho I get the daily reminders on FB too - hmmm guess it's no matter either way - just as long as they keep coming! - thanks for the chance at the great giveaways.

I suspect that weekly, in general is fine, but an occasional special notice is great, too! Thanks for the great giveaway!

Weekly is fine for me but daily is also ok.  I always check out the blog here daily too!

Once a week is more than enough for me.  I always remember to check out what's new without being reminded!

Savannagal said:

Weekly would be good for me. It is hard keeping up with all my email nowadays. But special notices are good to get too. Thanks.

Please please ONLY weekly. We get so much mail and daily ones I end up deleting because I don't have time to read them all. I like the weekly ones--it's a pleasant surprise to get them.

Raelyn said:

I usually get Sew4Home in my reader, and rarely look at the e-mails, but either way is fine.  It's just great you are sharing all these great things!  Thank you.

I prefer the weekly emails--I like to come to the site when I have a minute and see what's new. The weekly emails are fine, but the daily was too many--I just deleted them since I come here anyway :)

Love this weeks posts. I prefer an email once a week as a reminder to visit sew4home. I love the website and visit often anyway so the extra emails aren't necessary.

Congratulations (!!) firstly - secondly, I like the weekly email.  It gives me a heads up for what's on tap that week so I can judge my interest.  Honestly though, I check out your site everyday.  It's on my "favorites" list and usually stays open on one of my tabs. I refer to the project instructions frequently when ordering fabric on-line.  I still work full-time, and ordering fabric online is very convenient.  BTW, this weekend I am creating a "Chic Slipcover to Make an Old Ottoman New-And Cool Again" following your instructions and my measurements.  Once again, Congrats and Thank You!

Love the weekly email. Don't think I would care for a daily one.

I didn't mind receiving the daily emails. Sometimes in the weekly newsletter I will mark down on my calendar to remember to not miss a certain day I'm interested in. So I think the daily would help with that. But I really don't feel strongly either way.

I prefer the weekly email.  I just leave it in my inbox and go back on the days that I have time.  Love the projects!!!!!    I have some saved to a zip drive and many more printed out for easy stitching.

I think a weekly reminder is great, it gives me something to look forward to if I get to busy and can't read each day.
