For me,sew4home is an inspirational blog,through which i could learn new methods of sewing,which is not so popular in my country(INDIA).I truly admire sew4home.thks 4 your gud work incorporating projects which are definitely helpful to sewers all aroud the world

My sister and I love setting up our quilt boards outside, near the patio, in the summer while she visits from California. It's undercover, and we do live in Oregon, so we can leave it up overnight without too much dew. We recycle old clothes into quilt squares. Very satisfying to recycle, reuse, and relove old worn fabrics. Do we finish our projects? Not always; but wine, working and wonderful company are the goal of our outings...in the summer...on our suburban farm...and sometimes we get a quilt out of it.

I am a high school home ec teacher and I get to teach a sewing class. yay! I attend Bernina club and sometimes Janome club when I can. I also read various sewing/quilting blogs, listen to quilting podcasts and am a member of a quilting forum.

I love baskets for storage and like the "soft" basket idea.  Thanks.

What a cool basket.  Could use a couple of these in my guest room

My daughter and I plan outings for fabric and patterns, then we plan a day of sewing/crafting during the weekend!

These look like wonderful gifts to make!  We do a monthly birthday celebration in our ffice and I make a little something for each one!

Can't wait to try the fabric basket tutorial!

I also follow on twitter.

I follow sew4home on facebook.

Since I am the only one in the family who sews or knits, I usually am on my own.  I have done a group charity sewing event, but the shop has closed.  I sew as a hobby and and give gifts to my friends and family.  I love projects that are quick, and I can do parts of several at the same time.

I just "liked" Sew4Home on FB.  I usually reserve my FB likes for special sites and in my opinion, as a retired Home Ec teacher, this is a "go-to" spot for anyone wanting to learn proper sewing techniques.  I look forward to your email every Monday, but usually "catch-up" with their previous weeks' post as I don't always remember to check them daily. I'm not a "Twitterer," but sometimes check Pinterest boards if I'm looking for something.  Lately I enjoy following Quilt Blog Hops and my sister and I went on 2 Shop Hops last year with another one planned in April.  Shop Hopping takes you out of your immediate locale, but also opens your eyes to more projects/fabrics/techniques than are offered at your local quilting/craft stores.  Another sister and I just attended a Sewing and Craft Show and we look forward to attending Pacific Internation Quilt Festival every year.  

I mix sewing and socializing by visiting local quilt shops and taking classes locally.

I mix sewing and socializing by attending some clubs at my embroidery/sewing shop. We have Babylock club, embroidery club, and serger club! I love being with those ladies and always learning something new!

My socializing now comes via computer with forums or sew alongs.  I don't like to drive any more although I was a guild member for a year or two before children made things just too busy.  I love the projects you showcase each week! PS. I'm following on fb and pinterest as mickey louth.

I like Sew4Home on Facebok.  I mix sewing and socializing by belonging to TWO quilt guilds!

I am a self-taught sewer and embroiderer.  I bought a sewing/embroidery machine with tax refund four years ago and haven't looked back since!  My mother has told everyone that both of my grandmothers (who were equally avid sewers and quilters) are rolling over in their respective graves!  HA  Would love to win!  I have made new friends through my new love at the fabric store and hobby stores. 

I've liked you on FaceBook.

My in-person friends do not sew - so I depend on the online community to get my sharing in and to learn from others.

Thank you for putting my name in the drawing.

What a great idea. With this book I can see myself get projects done in an afternoon. Thanks for the free paattern.

I enjoy trading sewing ideas with the people I work with. We encourage each others to try new ideas and show off projects.

Another project. Great! Imagining the basket made with African fabrics too. Thanks.

Sewing is a very social activity for me. I belong to both a quilting guild, The Village Quilters of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff that meets once a month with speakers and workshops, and a local bee, the Liberty Quilters that meets every other week. In addition, I have several friends I shop hop with or go to an occasional retreat or quilt show, and my daughter and I talk about and collaborate on sewing projects. Sewing and quilting are the most social hobbies I have ever had!

I don't get to sew nearly as much as I'd like...my family wants to be fed, there's laundry to do, dishes to wash, grandkids to babysit.  As much as I love my family and those beautiful grand kids, I could sew forever, and I love Sew4Home projects!  Your website is so inspiring and provides the absolute best tips and tutorials.  Thanks 4 all you do!

When I am sewing it is me time.  I love talking about and showing my projects, but I get more done by myself.

so(sew) sorry!

I have project nights in my basement! I choose a simple sewing/quilting project, invite four or five friends over, and teach them how to sew! We have wine, laughter, use the seam rippers a lot, and always end the night with a fun new finished project. I love teaching my friends how to sew.

I started sewing with my Grandmother at the age eight. I now so with my Daughters for people they work with and my Grandchildren! I am always checking out craft markets and fabric stores!!!

Wow, please give me this free tutorial.

My daughters and I get together once a month. After dinner we decide on a project

And converse through out the month on different ways we can make our project.

This is our mother and daughter time and did I mention my grand daughter is now  

Joining

My mom and I get together and sew regularly. We love taking trips to Joann's and our local fabric stores. It's been great bonding time for us. She also has a cousin that she's become closer to over the last three years who also sews. We share ideas, show off our projects, and periodically go for fabric shopping sprees together. I love that we can spend the quality time together while make things for our family members. Although I still have some learning to do (I do have some big shoes to fill with how much my mom has accomplished), I'm up for the task. I just love when my mom and cousin compliment the quilts I've made. It really makes me feel good.

For my 31st bday, the three of us will be taking a road trip to Paducah. I can't wait!!

In our family sewing has been done in each generation.  We all tend to like to make different things which is fun.  Even if we make the same item, it looks different because our choice of fabric is different.

i belong to a group called QWAC's (quilting women acting crazy).  we call it a non-guild guild.  we meet at our local quilt shop with sewing machines in tow from about 1 - 3 pm or longer.  we get together most fridays to socialize and sew.  sometimes we have a learning session, but mostly it is just open sewing.  we share snacks.  when one has a birthday, we celbrate heartily!

For socializing and sewing I started a chapter for our state for Quilts for Kids.  So I am blessed with many volunteers each month attending our Sew & Meets to create smiles for ill children.  Besides this I get together with a few friends each week and do whatever we are wanting to work on that week.

      I have been sewing clothing and home projects for myself and family since I took Home Economics 54 years ago. I just taught myself to quilt 12 years ago. With the help of PBS programs and magazines. I enjoyed the times when our area had a quilt shop and lessons on different methods and projects. Sadly we have lost that shop. So, now I am on my own again. I enjoy the websites and television shows that have tutorials so I can keep up with the new methods and products. I love making things for family. Someday I will finish the quilts I have started for myself.

Mixing sewing and socializing?  I have one quilting buddy - I'm too terrified to hang out with other sewers at my sewing level!!  though I do plan to join a quilting guild this spring since I have so much to learn.

when my boys were little I sewed for them and now the grandkids are here I am relearning to sew I just made my 1st quilt lots of sewing going on here

I have been sewing since I was 10 years old.  I still find myself getting very excited every time I start a new project.  I sew more for the challenge of making something different and usable at the same time. There is really no one else I sew with because I like to surprise myself and the person I make something for  with what I create.  I do find so many very nice people out there with such wonderful ideas that I find very useful.  So I guess I really sew with all of you.  Thank you fellow creators.

I have a dear dear friend who is always quilting and sewing, so she is my inspiration to try new things.

I ADORE Sew4home!  It's my favorite website.  I look forward to your FB posts, and emails.  Everything is always so yummy!  I wish I had sewing friends, and whenever I get the opportunity to show someone how to sew, I jump at the chance.  I'm passionate about sewing, and want to encourage as many as possible to enjoy the art of sewing.  Presently my 10 yr. old grandaughter is anxious to learn, so whenever I'm sewing, I invite her to participate and also help her make projects she can be proud of.  Thanks for the chance to win!

I mix sewing and socializing by finding a project that suits the needs of some of my friends and then inviting them all over to do the project together!  teatly attt gmail dotttt com

I have very little time to sew and even less to social sew. I have a few friends/family that I talk sewing with and occasionally go shopping together. Now you have inspired me to come up w/ a way to do some social sewing. Not too crazy bout clubs, but would be very fun to find some little girls to teach to sew. 

Turning on the sewing machine and setting up the ironing board will get the children interested in what Mom is doing.  We have wonderful sewing parties.  Having friends join us for sewing circles is even better.  One time for an Eagle Scout project, we set up an assembly line for making pillowcases. The first day we cut, the second we sewed. Everyone helped-little ones taking pieces to different stations, people sewing, others ironing.  At the end of two days we had made 75 pillowcases to be donated to children in the hospital.

I think the pictures on Pinterest and Youtube instructionals help instigate ideas.  Facebook is good for bragging and getting the latest info.  And twitter - well let's leave that for letting you (me) knw how to win this book.  :)

I do not really socialilze with my sewing, other than giving away things that I make to family & friends as gifts, or "just because".  I do enjoy reading all the various sewing blogs, and feel like I've joined a community where I can get answers to the many questions I may have while learning more about quilting.  So I guess in a way I AM socializing :) :)  Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

I love to sew, and I especially love my quilt groups.  We teach each other new ideas and have great fun together!  Thanks for your weekly email updates!  We love them.

I love Sew4Home!  I can't wait to see each week's projects.  It is my favorite site!  I enjoy sharing many projects and ideas with friends, co-workers and family.  We especially like like sharing through Pinterest and Facebook!

Looks like a book with a lot of fun ideas. I don't have anyone that I sew with.  I hope to take a class or two after I retire.

I do not use Facebook or Twitter or Pininterest.  I  hope this doesn't disqualify my entry.  I do own a Yahoo group that teaches needlearts to women all over the world for free.  I amnot here to promote that group but it is how I socialize and mix my sewing on a daily basis.  We are very project oriented and all of our handwork is used for a final project,  many of these are sewn on the machine.  It is because of the time I spend mentoring and writing courses for this group that I don't have  time or inclination to do the other activiteis mentioned above, lol.  Thanks for the opportunity to win this prize package which, if I were lucky enough to win, I would share with the women on the group who have limited incomes or supply sources.

I use facebook to post some items that I make, also to view items friends have posted.  Sometimes I will just search for a good idea that I can create or re-create.
