As I was set to announce the winner of the Elixir Fat Quarter Bundle, I realized I haven’t announced the winners of some other contests I’ve been a part of.

Back in August I challenged my readers to send in cheerful pillowcases to Ryan’s Case for Smiles. As added incentive, my sponsor Fabric Spark offered up a prize of a pillowcase kit; each pillowcase sent in counted as one entry. Read more about the cause, and see my easy tutorial here: http://www.happyokapi.ca/blog/ryans-case-for-smiles-pillowcase-tutorial-kit-giveaway-and-challenge
Celine sent some pillowcases in right away, and also happened to be the random winner of a Tula Pink Pillowcase Kit from Fabric Spark. Thank you to everyone who sent in pillowcases! They were appreciated so very much. Pillowcases are accepted year round; right now there is a need for holiday themed pillowcases, as Ryan’s Case for Smiles gears up for hospital stays over Christmastime. Please see my original post for more information about how you can help. You can also still purchase Pillowcase Kits from Fabric Spark!

The sewalong actually took place over at Mrs H’s blog, and I hope you had a chance to check it out. The bags everyone came up with were simply amazing! Thank you to everyone who sent me pictures of your completed bags, or posted them on Instagram. Check out the winners: http://handmadebymrsh.blogspot.ca/2015/10/companion-carpet-bag-sew-along-winners.html

I really enjoyed reading all the comments about how everyone would use the bundle if they won. Of course many people said bags, but some mentioned pillows, or even a quilt! Congratulations to Marsha L! I’d love to see what you come up with. Thank you very much to my sponsor Stay Home Fabrics for offering up such a great prize!

Didn’t win this time? There’s one more contest going on right now that is finishing soon: The Blue Calla Iris Sewalong! Check out this post for all the details, including a discount and how to participate.

I’m also working on another giveaway happening very soon, so stay tuned for that!
