Shipped Aprons Giveaway

Ok Aprons are due this weekend. I know that several of you have been super busy sewing your kids into costumes so we are letting you chime in by Monday.
So if it isn't shipped already, please sit down now and sew up some lovely pink wonderfulness! You also need to get your box stuffed $15 worth of pink fabulousness!

You then need to chime in and email us and let us know that you DID send it and give a delivery confirmation number so it can be tracked. Believe me that really is important. Then you KNOW where your package is because they can track it down and who had it last.

So if you do all these things we do have a lovely prize for you. Everyone that chimes in with the email to us by Monday night will be entered in the drawing for a lovely apron made by one of our talented swappers, Sveltlana. Go check out her Etsy shop. She makes aprons to DIE FOR.

Finish Line Giveaway!!!

Yeah!!! We are at the finish line. The aprons are due to be shipped by Saturday night. That gives you less than 24 hours to get your packages finished and shipped out! What fun!


We have a wonderful giveaway for you. Actually we have a few to give.

First off we have a grand prize of 7 half yard cuts of fabric from

Marie Madeline Studious.

The fabric is flights of fancy by Paula Prass for Michael Miller.

If you haven't already checked out her shop you should. She has wonderful fabric selections and some pretty wonderful patterns. I have made 3 of them myself and love them.

Then we have 3 other prizes to give out to 3 more of our swappers.

First we have a wonderful Tomato gift package from Shawnee but unfortunately there is no picture as her sad camera cord is missing and the poor picture is stuck on her camera.

Second we have an original Daisy Mae apron from Mama Byrd herself that is perfect for gardening, crafting, quilting, etc... the possibilities are endless.

Flower detail

Third we have a wonderful little bee ornament that Shawnee picked up for us. Unfortunately again the picture is held hostage on her poor camera.

Now get busy and post those packages. Remember that SOME of you are lucky enough to have a post office with a machine that lets you post a package anytime. SOME of us are more rural than that and didn't even know that such machines existed let alone what their name is.

Remember to post your pictures in the flicker account too. We want to see what you are doing.

Prize Blitz Friday

We have several prizes to announce and give away tonight so stay tuned as I get them all posted in the next little while. :o)

First off we would like to announce the winner for responding to us within 48 hours. (yea remember when we asked you to do that a couple of weeks ago) Well we are really glad that all of you did.

The winner is.....

Alice S, UT

She is the winner of some wonderful heirloom seeds from

My Victory Garden

Heirloom seeds have not been genetically altered and are true to the "good old" varieties full of rich flavors and colors.

Second we have the prize for the winner of the Scavenger hunt. Thank you all for participating. We were amazed at how quickly the answers started coming in.

The winner of the Scavenger hunt is .....

Carrie B, GA

The prize she won is....

a garden dibble from

Wood Elements

What is a dibble?? It is used in the garden to make holes in the ground for putting plants in. It is a very old style gardening tool, very simple but very effective. This dibble is hand crafted and very beautiful. You are one lucky duck Carrie.

Thirdly we have the winners of the Busy Bee Quilt Designs giveaway.

Thank you for all the comments.

The winner of the

Lilly apron pattern is

San-Dee O, MD

The winner of the French Flea Market Apron is

Sorry I won't tell you what it is right now. :o) I want to post these for you. The next blog post will show the final prize.

Prize Blitz -- Two-fer Thursday

Hi Busy Bees!!! Michelle from Busy Bee Quilt Designs is providing our next two prizes -- first, the infamous Lilly Apron Pattern.

Isn't this so cute? I've seen this made up in a variety of fabrics and it's always a winner. I made one myself in my last swap and it was very well received.


OR, maybe you prefer half-aprons? If so, you're gonna love this French Flea Market Apron.


I own this pattern, too, and I really like how it's assembled and major full coverage going on.

Both of these patterns are so flexible and will come out entirely different depending on the fabrics chosen. If YOU want to win one of these, please leave us a message about WHICH pattern you really want and WHY you like it best. For FIVE extra entries, send Michelle a "Thank You for the Prizes" email at "busybeedesigns at comcast.net" (fix the formatting), then leave a second message here telling us you did.

Apron Pattern Giveaway

Hi ladies!!

I found some new patterns and the designer is a sweetheart!!! Mary Mulari has been in the sewing industry for a long time and she's got some great vintage reproduction patterns that I had never seen before. (Mary is coming to the Sewing Expo in Puyallup, WA Feb 26-Mar 1 - I can't wait to meet her. I'll be there on Saturday, and I'd love to meet any apron swappers that will be there too!!) Check these out:

I bought this "Hot Dish Apron Pattern" at my local Fabric Depot. Now, I know that Hot Dish is another name for Potluck, but I kinda think it's a cute and flirty name too ... I might just add a ruffle or two to mine.
These Clothespin Aprons a bit different than the patterns I've seen before, especially her full coverage version:

This is her No Strings Apron, a unique style that uses two one-yard cuts of fabric:

A "Wrap Front" pattern that fits comfortably around the neck and then adjust ties:

The reversible "Church Ladies" apron that would be so cute in coordinating designer fabrics like Amy Butler or Sandi Farmer:

And, her newest "Newfangled Reversible Aprons" -- this one pattern package includes three adult apron patterns, one childs apron, a doll apron and a pattern for those cute dishwashing detergent bottle aprons, too.

One lucky Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice Swapper will win a "Newfangled Apron Pattern" -- How??

#1 Everyone who POSTS A PICTURE on the Flickr page (or sends us one to post for you) will be entered.

#2 You get a second entry for going to Mary's website, drooling over all her goodies, and coming back here and telling us which of her patterns is your favorite.

#3 You can get your name entered a third time by posting a blurb about her patterns/website on your blog and posting a comment here telling us that you did.

Giveaway ends Sunday night, February 15.

Time's Up!

Ok ladies, time is officially up. Get those aprons out today. After today and you are officially late. As a reward for getting your projects done and sent off on time we have saved a very special give away for you.
Everyone that gets their apron off by tonight gets a chance at winning the Smoochie Apron made by EllynAnne Geisel, author of The Apron Book.


It is hot and totally fabulous!!

We have a couple of other prizes too for a couple of runners up. Keep watching today to see what apron goodies are coming your way.

Sunday Giveaway - Blog Makeover

Hi Ladies!!! Doesn't a new month deserve a new look for your blog??

One lucky swapper will receive a FREE premade blog design OR 30% off a custom design, whichever you prefer.


Simply Yours is a blog design shop here to help create a blog design that is your very own. We specialize in personal and business blogs providing each customer a customized design.


In addition to this generous giveaway, All SSEN Swappers may have a 10% discount on any order with Simply Yours during this swap. Simply contact Hilary and mention our special "code".

#3 You get a third entry for going to her website, visiting her gallery, and coming back here and telling us which of her items is your favorite.
