A beautiful bundle for SMS Giveaway Day!



It's Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day (which is almost a week)! So I bought one of the remaining October bundles from Fabric Spark's Month Sparks fabric club to give away to one of you.


I curated this wonderful bundle and it was so fun to work with. There are fabrics there from many of my favourite designers.

Imp

I used my own set of these fabrics to make Imp, and if you like you can read more about her here. I am very proud of this quilt, she makes me smile and smile.

I'm not really a big film fan so I don't have any recommendations for you. Neither have I read any outstanding books recently... I did enjoy the Girl on the Train (the book) if you haven't read it.

Love, love, love your quilt - just fabulous! I'd suggest an old favourite for Christmas viewing - It's A Wonderful Life. I call it my Christmas cry, but it's always a good reminder of how blessed we are even when we think that we aren't.

This IS a very pretty bundle. I don't do a lot of reading so I can't give you a book recommendation and it seems lately I haven't had much time to watch movies. As soon as I get a few minutes, I plan to watch some old Elvis movies. Maybe you'd like to see one or two too.

I don't really read holiday books or read too often, right now. I really liked Dead Key. very good book.

The classic holiday movie at our house is Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.

Jeneta said...

I love watching Arthur Christmas with my kids.

Sandra Walker said...

First of all thanks Leanne for being one of the hosts for the 2016FAL; it really does give me a boost to (try ha) to focus. I'd suggest two books, one of which I am about 2/3 through, The Florabama Ladies Auxiliary and Sewing Circle (light read, think Steel Magnolias or a bit of Erin Brockovitch) and The Camel Bookmobile (not as light a read, might open your eyes as to plights of villagers in Kenya regarding literacy etc).

Wow, what beautiful fabrics! Orange is my favorite color.

tusen said...

This is a lovely bundle :) As for books, do you know Tana French? She writes murder mysteries, but somehow they are much more than that and, I think, they are very well written. There are 6 book and they may be read separately although if you read them in order, you get to know some characters better. (Also, if you like Irish accent, they are great as audiobooks.) The newest one is The Trespasser, which might just be my new favourite (until now it was probably The Likeness).

Vesuviusmama said...

Is that orange I see? Squeal!! Let's see - for books, I'm a cozy mystery reader, particularly the quilting/knitting/crocheting ones. A new series for me is Mary Marks' quilting mysteries. And I'm more of a "watch TV series on Netflix" gal versus a movie gal. I've just started, and am really enjoying, Murdoch Mysteries.

Unknown said...

I love this grouping! I like Love Actually and Nestor, The Long Eared Donkey...both movies. Sunnysky223@embarqmail.com

bookworm said...

I love holiday movies and black and white films. So my recommendations are Christmas in Connecticut, White Christmas, Remember the Night, and Holiday with Kathryn Hepburn. It's a good time to read the first book of the Narnia series The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the Hobbit. The Hobbit has so many food references that it makes me hungry!

bookworm said...

I love this fat quarter bundle! Orange is a very cheeky color. It's too bad most people just associate it with autumn and Halloween. I follow you on Bloglovin'.

Love these fabrics! The animated movie Arthur Christmas (not from the PBS series) is a lot of fun.

sherry said...

i unfortunately cannot recommend any books or movies as i have been in a reading slump and not reading anything of value ... ouch that hurt me to say it ... thanx for the giveaway and i promise to do better in the new year ...

I always watch White Christmas, Holiday Inn, and any of the Home Alone movies that show up on tv at this time of year.

A. Kei Andrews said...

If there are any little ones nearby for you to read to over the holidays I wholeheartedly recommend The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Schneider (they wrote The Gruffalo too). Wonderful book and so much fun to read aloud!
Awesome bundle! Would love to win!

Melinda said...

For some silly fun I'd recommend the movie Galaxy Quest. For more cerebral I'd suggest Arrival and the book of short stories it comes from, The Story of my Life

I like the Jennifer Chiaverini Elm Creek Quilts book series.

OnePerfectDay said...

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
Have you seen 'Christmas with the Kranks'?
It's a 2004 comedy with Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. It's a great laugh!
Oh and maybe re-watch 'While You Were Sleeping' with a young Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman.....

Kylie Carlson said...

If you're looking for nostalgia I love reading Pride and Prejudice on a rainy/snowy afternoon. For new releases I have been on a short story kick and have reading the free SF stories on Tor.com. The quality is great, they have new releases all the time, and they are generally 5,000-10,000 words.

The only books I read these days are to my young kids - does that count?! Right now we are racing lots of Christmas/winter themed books, like The Mitten. Love the bundle…orange is one of my favorite colors and it is lacking in my stash.

I just read The Martian, which I really liked. The movie followed it very well, but of course there's more detail in the book! I recommend the movie, also, if you haven't seen it.

Movie -- I know this is not a typical holdup pick at all but I really like The Martian because it's a great survival story. And while quilting I typically watch movies like Leap Year or Under The Tuscan Sun.
