Oakshotts for Giveaway Day


It's Giveaway Day at Sew Mama Sew. I have a beautiful bundle of Fat 1/8s to give away, courtesy of Michael Oakshott at Oakshott Fabrics. I have used Oakshott fabrics often in my quilts - if you are new here, you can check out the my quilts tab to see them, or look here, here, here and here.


This bundle of 12 fat 1/8s is called Lakes. Each of the 100% cotton fabrics is woven on a blue warp with different colours shot through as the weft. The challenge with these shot cottons is to capture in a photograph the shimmer that the different coloured weft threads creates. I went about looking for shining sun rays to help me out.


To win the giveaway, leave me just one comment per person and I will draw the winner randomly. Tell me about your favourite lake/ocean spot and why you like it or tell me about a lake/ocean location you are hoping to visit one day.


Please leave your email in your comment if you are not sure if you are a no-reply blogger (you can write it as yourname [at] emailservice [dot] com or whatever so that the email strippers won't recognize it if you are worried). If I cannot find you, you cannot win.


I'll close the giveaway on Friday May 16, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. PST and I will be drawing and contacting the winner by Sunday night. This giveaway is open to anyone in the world - I will send these fantastic fabrics to you wherever you might be.


I wish you all good luck now, as there are too many comments to answer during giveaways. Oh, and if you have not yet been, head over to Sew Mama Sew to enter all the other giveaways that will be linked there this week.

Best,

Leanne

No real lakes here, there's a small one, which is actually a rainwater reservoir for the fire department, but there are ducks and it's really nice there. Nearby is also a smaller one with moor frogs and you can hear those especially during the summer nights :)

Thanks for the chance to win!

Gorgeous fabrics by the way - lovely choice!

What a fantastic color palette ! My favourite lake is Sjælsø which is just 100 metres from our house. I love walking down there. There is a little cottage where the young Queen Caroline Matilde and Dr. Struense used to meet (have you seen the movie 'A Royal Affair') and so many special spots.

yippee - Love Oakshott fabrics ! my favourite place is a beach in Tasmania called Primrose Sands - when I was a kid we had a shack there and would spend our school holidays and a lot of weekends over the summer - it was a family affair with cousins and aunts and uncles - we would spend most of the day at the beach and at night the adults would play cards while we kids made our own fun - it was such a great place and holds a special place in my heart - aaahhh the memories :)

Lake Texoma has a lovely little beach/cove where we love to camp. Lots of trees for shade and a sandy spot to park my chair while the kids play in the water.
We live in SoCal now so we get to the beach fairly often and I love to sit and watch the waves. We mostly go to Carlsbad State beach, because parking is convenient.

What beautiful fabrics - the texture is amazing. I actually live on a small lake in Hot Springs, Arkansas so that's my favorite spot. On the weekend it's a little busy but during the week it's quiet and serene. Where to visit? I'd love to drive into Canada and see some of their lakes - they have so many places that are still unsettled that I bet it would be awesome. blessings, marlene

My husband's family lives in southwest Michigan near Lake Michigan. We have a favorite swimming beach and a favorite rock hunting beach. So beautiful!

Thanks for the chance! My favorite water spot is the river that borders our backyard :)

Judith said...

I'm a moving water person, so I prefer ocean side locations. My husband is from New Zealand and I really enjoy the more dynamic nature of the Pacific as it's experienced there to our much calmer --truly pacific--side of the ocean. But, I'll take whatever I can get, even it it's an afternoon at bathtub calm Willows Beach on Vancouver Island. Thanks for the chance to win such a terrific giveaway.

Tanyia said...

Oooh, I love being by the water. It is where I feel the most at peace. I have to say there is something special about backwoods rivers and lakes in Florida though. It feels almost prehistoric. ... and one day I would love to see the Pacific ocean... especially near Alaska!

LJ said...

I love the 'shimmer' of Oakshot fabrics. In a perfect world, I would be on a warm island on a private beach listening to the ocean waves as I relaxed in my beach chair, a drink, a book, a bit of hand-stitching, and my hubby by my side. Oh, any ocean will do!!! lol

Needled Mom said...

The Oakshotts are gorgeous. I love any beach in Hawaii!!!

Theglasdiva said...

Beautiful Lake Louise in Alberta. I lived in Calgary growing up and besides Banff it was my family's favourite playground. What else would you do in the winter, right? The colours of these cottons are very reminiscent of mountain glacier water. Gorgeous!

My favorite water spot will always be home. I grew up in the Charleston, SC area and the rivers, marshes, and ocean that surround it are my favorite sights and smells. However, I'll soon be moving to the Pacific Northwest- another beautiful, but very different place.

I grew up on Lake Erie in Ohio. When I saw the bundle I immediately got homesick because the colors are exactly what I think of when I picture looking out on the lake at sunset.
Sigh :-)

French 75 said...

I absolutely love the beaches on Moorea, Tahiti. The water is crystal clear and the most beautiful shade of turquoise. If you put on a snorkel, you can just drift with the gentle movement of the ocean and watch the fish swim around you. The water is very warm too. Oh gee, now I want to go there RIGHT NOW.
The Oakshott cottons look wonderful. The blues are such a nice range. If I had them, I'd make a quilt with the colors radiating out.

Anne D said...

What beautiful fabrics. I am fortunate enough to live on a peninsula surrounded by water. My favourite is the bay beach close to home where I run and go out rigging. Thanks for a great giveaway.

Jill said...

It's so difficult to choose a favorite when they're all so different, and each has its own special thing! But if forced to choose, I think I'd have to go with the Atlantic coast in Brittany. The landscape there is so wild and beautiful, and the color of the water changes by the minute with changes in sunlight and weather conditions. It's just fabulous! Thanks for the opportunity to win these amazing fabrics!

Unknown said...

I love the ocean and live on an island on the west coast. Beautiful fabric!

We have a small cabin on Lake Clark in Alaska. It is so amazing! What I love most is when the lake is like a sheet of glass, and you can see the most beautiful reflection with the mountains and sky. And every day brings different weather and different colors on the lake! Mother nature at her best!

What a fab prize, a great question, I've loved reading everyone's answers! My favourite place is what was my grandmother's holiday cottage / cabin on an island south of Bergen on Norway: no one else used the beach, and the island was the friendliest and safest place I knew. My cousin owns the cabin now and is very generous about sharing (we are going later this month) it's still my favourite place ... And now has indoor plumbing, yippee

These colours are amazing and I really hope I win. I like Elk Lake which is up the road where I live on Vancouver Island. It has a nice footpath around to walk, it has a sandy beach to take the grandchildren when they come and the water is clean to swim in.

Crater lake because of the unusual color. Love the colors of the bundle!

Loving those purples in there!
I liked Henley Lake (admittedly, not a very big lake) on a recent trip to Masterton - there were lots of ducks there, and that pretty reflective feather that mallards have is pretty well represented in those fabrics!

When I was young girl I loved going to the North Sterling Reservoir. We fished, swam and barbecued there often. As a young adult I loved swimming and having potlucks with friends at Waitt's Lake. Now that I am in my 60's, I look back with fondness at those memories, but I must admit that my favorite water places are rivers, streams and creeks.

I love this fabric. We used to take our kids to Ocean City MD. Haven't been in years but I have fond memories.

I love a quiet little lake in northern Wisconsin. We have a cabin on the lake and it is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.

I live in Brisbane, Australia and about 2 hours up the coast is a place called Rainbow Beach.The whole area holds so many wonderful family memories for me so it has to be my favourite ocean spot. The fabrics in your giveaway are beautiful and I think you photographed them perfectly!

Lake Taupo in New Zealand has always been a favourite. One seaside place I would like to visit- On my must see places is Cinque Terre in Italy which is 5 fishing villages joined by a railway line.

I love Oakshott fabrics. These colours remind me of Lake Wanaka in New Zealand. I was there in February and would LOVE to go back.
