I like to go fabric shopping with my good friend.  We both love fabric and it's fun to look at  all the pretty fabrics together.

i like to schedule sewing days with my friends. We get together at someone's house and sew all day.

Sewing doesn't have to be on a sewing machine!  My friends and I would meet up and sew our little projects while catching up with each other and trading tips and tricks to help make whatever project we're doing better.

We once came together to make charity baby quilts.  Using all our scraps and remnants, I helped stitch together a nifty 36x54 baby quilt to donate.

I sew with my daughter and we have made several projects from Sew 4 Home.  I also attend a quilters retreat day 2-3 times per year.

Some of the best times that I have sewing are when I sew with others.   I take advantage of classes that are offered at my LQS and really enjoy the company of the other women as we sew.

I'm lucky to have several sewy friends here in town, so we try to get together for a sewing get-together every month or so - we always have big plans on getting things done, then spend most of the time carrying on and laughing instead of actual sewing, lol.  I love my sew-ins!

I loved to watch my Grandmother sew, she was my inspiration. I enjoy sewing and monograming for my customers but it is also my therapy. I enjoy taking classes once in awhile to learn a new technique. I belong to a sewing and applique forum. I have liked you on FB and I follow your boards on Pinterest

We get together onThursday nights for a craft night. Everyone brings a project to work on. Some sew, scrapbook etc. It's a great way to keep in touch and have fun.

My BFF and I get together every Wednesday and sew ALL DAY.  We started out with once a month and have decided every week is better! (BTW - i have liked you on facebook for a long time!)

Thank you for giving us a chance to win such a great prize.  Fingers crossed!

I am so excited about Elaine's new book! I loved her ribbon book and have used it so much it is quite dog eared! I started sewing in middle school on my Grandmothers 1963 Singer. I love going to classes at my local quilt shop and hanging out with my buddies. My sister has also recently revived her love of sewing and we can't wait for all the fun we are going to have together! I use the precuts all the time, not only for quilting but for clothes, hair bows, home projects and bags, just to name a few. They are so coordinated and easy to use they make every project turn out fabulous! Thank you so much for this opportunity to win a copy of the book. Happy projects everyone!!!

I taught myself to sew in 5th grade,and since then, with the help of family and friends I have collected fabric and learned techniques. I am a senior in highschool now, and I do not regret learning to sew at all! I have made dresses and gifts, as well as run a small home business. I love fabric, sewing, and your website! 

I made my first sewing project when I was 5, it was an apron for my mom. No pattern, no idea what I was doing, all I can say is the finished product looked like an apron (with a ridiculously small waist needed, no edge finishing on the ties and the hem changed up to 1/2" from one side to the other. Since then I have progressed, and am still learning. I take projects everywhere I go. You just never know when you will have some down time (flat tire?) and/or you need something to keep your hands busy, while visiting with friends and family. I have projects that are "visiting", "traveling", "TV time", "music", and "concentration needed". I'm in the process of trying to teach my granddaughter sewing, on the same machine I learned on. You have to encourage the passion of creativity at all times.

I've been sewing most of my life and just recently began to quilt.  I've made a whole new world of friends via two quilt guilds and I have a special group of quilt buddies that I sew with weekly.  We've laughed and cried together over the past year.  Next step is teaching a tote bag class in a new shop....hoping to make many new friends in this endeavor too!

I've been sewing for more than fifty years and I don't think I have one friend that sews!  I'm thinking I may start teaching.  There seems to be so many younger gals looking to sew these days. Good to see it happening!

Just 'liked' you on facebook! My husband and I have been married almost 4 years (2 kids!) and I'm trying to do more DIY things. I haven't done much yet, so I haven't done any socializing and sewing yet.

Thank you for the opportunity to win this great book! I love to sew gifts for family and friends. 

Im often asked to show them how i made it so i organise a sewing morning to create with them. With small children its hard to get time to go to organised groups but i find at home easier for everyone! 

I make crafts with fabric, ribbons, paper using sewing and many different techniques. Then I share with my friends via social networks and blogs. I also volunteer in school and lead kids to do simple crafts.

The quilt group I belong to is sewing quilts for folks in the Meals-on-Wheels program.  We sew & socialize & share new techniques.  I'm liking you on Facebook.  Thanks for the pattern & thanks for the chance to win.

Our local quilting store just closed. Many of us would love to still meet and do great proejcts. This would be a great opportunity for us to keep in touch as wella s introduce others to sewing.

I am part of a sewing group. I learned sewing in school and sew together with my mum who loves sewing too. She has sewn for me many dresses since I was a toddler and now she sews for my kids. I own Stitch Bugs and love sewing pencil cases for kids to most of my son's friends. I've never used precuts before and would love to win this package to try them out with my mum. She has a keen interest in quilting and wants to teach me. She will be 80 next year so I am very proud of the fact that at her age, she still sews. Thanks so much Sew4Home for the opportunity!

Im lucky to have a good friend that shares a love for sewing.  We get together once a month to sew sew and share a lunch.  The basket looks like a fun project and as great way to use up the extra jelly rolls.

I combine sewing and socializing through a quilt guild and sewing with a friend or my daughter.  

The book looks like it has some great projects.  Thanks for the chance to win.

I have a group of 4 girlfriends and we get together for a day of sewing every month or so. Pot luck lunch, a project or two and a fabulous day of friendship, laughs and fun.

i belong to a quilt guild so of course that's good socializing and sewing. Additionally, my sisters and neices and I occasionly have craft days where we get together to do crafts. Last time we got together we sewed coiled fabric baskets. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

I mix sewing and socializing by sharing ideas and websites (like sew4home!!) with friends, family & fellow sewing beauties!

Thanks for the great tutorials!!!  L.O.V.E. them!!!

The only time  I combine the two is while taking a class or sharing a project with family and friends.  I would love to win this book quilting with precuts is great but to learn how to use them in more ways would be very exciting.  Thanks for the chance.

I started sewing with my Mother and sisters. II no longer have that privelege due to MOther passing and I have lived apart form them for several years but we share ideas andgifts! My daughters have a slight interest as they have grown older. I do socialize with a group at church called the "sewing Sisters" every Thursday. We each bring a project,or help someone learn a new craft,sewing,knitting or what ever and make projects for mission projects. We have even helped a novice seamstress to learn her machine!!I also try to introduce some to the children in our after school group.

I don't know any other sewers personally, so I haven't been able to mix sewing and socializing yet. But I am hoping to be able to take some sewing classes sometime.

I am one of the fortunate people. I have a garment sewing group of 7 women who meet once a month, a quilt group that meets every Monday plus Thursday knitting group. Each of the groups is my favourite!

My four sisters and I plan a Sister Trip every year and it includes bringing our sewing machine and supplies and sew something together. Usually it is a quilt but sometimes it is a quicker fun project. I'd love to win the book

I try to get away a few times a year with my quilting friend Leah,  we stay at a remote location, visit local fabric stores and usually pick a quick and easy project we can do together in a weekend.  There is nothing like uninterrupted time with fabric!!!  Lots of happy memories made.

I''m brand new to sewing. My first project wil be the fabric wallets posted a few days ago.  A new fabric store opened up locally and I've already started gathering fabrics. While there, I signed up for a beginner's class!  I'm very excited!  I work FT weekends only and this will be my first girls-day-out in a few years.  Yea for mommy time!

I don't mix socializing with sewing. Sewing requires my total concentration or I make too many oops. Sewing is for my personal satisfaction. On the other hand, I do enjoy watching people's reactions when they learn I sewed something they like.

I find I actually get more sewing done when I'm with my friends. I belong to several quilting groups plus a guild. As a matter of fact, I just came back from a retreat full of sewing, eating & talking and still managed to finish two quilt tops. I do get lots of ideas from the internet - way too many to ever finish - but it hasn't stopped me yet.

Belong to a block of the month quilt club.

I mix sewing and socializing by joining Flickr groups, sewing groups on Yahoo, liking pages and groups on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter.  I love to sit and sew and chat with others and bounce off ideas with each of my Cyber-friends!  This basket tutorial and book is amazingly cute Thank you so much!  I'm going to pick up a copy of this book ASAP!

I get together with my sister to work on quilts, hats for cancer patients, and work with the quilt club for sixth graders at the school where she teaches. We have loads of fun!

I'm one of those people that can't walk and chew gum at the same time, so socializing while sewing is out of the question. It's bad enough the cat demands my attention everytime I'm at my cutting board or sewing machine.

How can you not mix the two?  They are a natural combinations.  I love to sew with my friends.  We belong to our local guild, take classes, attend retreats, block of the month clubs, and my favorite is when we get together at my house once a month for a Saturday full of sewing and friends.  I would be lost in quilting with out my friends!!

Mixing : I add yearly membership to our local quilt guild & this year I sit on their board as Property Manager. Years prior I have been Frienship Block committee chair and committee chair for our annual District Fair; acting as coodinator for Quilts Judging and set up/take down.  There's alot of socializing withing the Guild and I have made many dear friends because we have common interests: Sewing & Quilting & Philanthropic Work ♥

I really don't combine sewing and socializing because none of my friends or family members sew.  Any socializing I do only happens if I take a class.  It's okay - sewing is for my own personal pleasure!  Thanks for the chance.  I'm enjoying all of the inspiration on your site!

I love to go to my local quilt shop for project work days, you bring what ever project you are working on and get to enjoy the afternoon/ evening quilting and meeting new people.

It looks like the projects in this new book would be great to take with me!

My 2 sisters in law make beautiful things. Two years ago they asked if anyone would like sewing lessons. A few of us signed on. And now we have had to split the classes into 2 sessions to fit everyone. It's a wonderful learning, socializing and bonding experience!

We crafty girls usually get together once a month to gab & stitch at our Stitchy Wenches gathering!  They would ALL get a HUGE kick out of this book!! Thank you for the giveaway! I follow on Pinterest, FB & Twitter.

I'm a facebook fan and follow you on Twitter and Pinterest.  

The only quilting I do is social as I'm just a newbie.  I attend Quilt Socials at my local Joann's.  It's $10 for 2 hours and I work on my project with an instructor available to help me along.  I also sew/quilt at a local church who has a ladies ministry called "Pinistry" and ladies come bringing whatever craft they're working on to come together kid free and for good fellowship.

My Mom and I sew together and it is a wonderful time of socializing. We talk and she teaches me at the same time. Now my children are starting to show interest and joining in with us. Golden moments indeed. 

I like you on faceboook already.

Here's a project I did together with my family http://mycreativemommy.blogspot.com/2012/10/sew-easy-throw-pillow.html 

I love social sew time...often i have friends over for mini retreat days.  Also, I love going to classes and our once a month guild.

I found this wonderful website through the Pinterest and can't stop sewing. I'm sharing your site creative idears with my few friends, one of them is a little girl who just started to sew. We are planning to meet together and sew something bright for the spring.

I love the idea that there are so many ideas in one place.  This would be so helpful in sharing with friends.
