The Hundred Skirts Project Thank You Give-Away!

UPDATE: Just bumping this to the top. Drawing will be Tuesday, May 13th. Get your name in the drawing by leaving a comment on this post.
------------------

To all my readers who encouraged me through your emails and comments. To my readers who sewed or are sewing skirts. Tor those who couldn't sew, but are helping by funding postage or tees. For those who spread the word through mentions on their own blogs. And because of the myriad of other ways you all worked together to help this project be successful...a big THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. There is no way I could ever truly show my appreciation, but I offer a give-away drawing as a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Please simply leave a comment and I will put your name in the hat for a drawing. You do not have to be one of those doing actual sewing to be involved. Your friendship, support, prayers and words of encouragement are enough. EVERYONE is invited. I will do another give-away when all 100 skirts are here and ready for shipment. There are four giveaways today.

Three giveaways for: a hand-painted Alaskan flowers/scenery needle case, a set of silk, hand-dyed yo-yos for embellishing and a set of hand-sewing needles



And the major give-away...A bunch of goodies packed in a heart-shaped paper mache box (ready for your crafting touch). There are vintage patterns, vintage greeting cards, vintage trims, threads, pins, fat quarters, pre-made appliques, my hand-made baby gift tags, cupcake tags and more.



Just leave a comment and all names will be put into the hat for the four drawings.

ONE HUNDRED SKIRTS!!!!

Drumroll, please....

I was contacted by Liz from the lovely state of Utah this morning. She wants to make some skirts in the larger sizes so that brings us to the grand total of...

100 SKIRTS!!

I don't know which size and how many, so I'll just count it as one skirt and put it in the grand total, but not the size chart. Thank you so much, Liz! So....where do we go from here?

This is what I'll be tracking from here on out. I will take and post pics of the skirts as they arrive at my home. If you wish to have a link to your blog or website, please include that in your package. And don't forget to name your skirt for the tags! :) I will keep a running count of Skirts Received vs. Skirts Promised to help us stay on track with actually having the skirts finished and ready to ship by August 1st.

Also, please feel free to continue to join in, if you wish. I don't want to leave anyone out who wants to participate. And we do have a few sizes that don't have 10 skirts simply because I have extras of some sizes and some skirts were promised, but no sizes designated. I intend to continue sewing all the way up to August. I want to have a little extra margin just in case some skirt donors were unable to complete their donations. And I'd love to have some extras for the new orphans that will be arriving when more dorms are built.

There are no words to express how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. This project just got away from me...in a good way. I had fully intended to sew 100 Skirts. However, the power of community, even a "virtual" one, had a different idea. I like it this way even better. A wonderful statement of good will and compassion. Ya'll are awesome!

There will be a MAJOR giveaway in honor of reaching our goal. I will be putting together a nice big goodie box soon as well as some smaller prizes. Stay tuned for your opportunity to win!

Hugs and Kisses
