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

Lac Rose in Senegal (meaning Pink Lake) it's really pink.
Lake Como in Italy, beautiful and loved being there.

Janie said...

Devils Lake in Montana. It is gorgeous and you can see through the water. Thanks for the beautiful bundle giveaway.

Luch said...

Our family loves Skaha lake in Penticton BC...we live in Alberta but head out there almost every summer...warm and no Mosquitos! :)

VickiT said...

Those are such gorgeous fabrics and I've never seen any in person, just on alot of different blogs. Their colors are so rich.

I absolutely LOVE being near water. I was raised in a home which had the river behind it and a beautiful view of the dam just beyond our yard. It was always so beautiful during the winter with the ice/snow and the trees full of ice crystals. As far as a lake I'd love to return to, or to visit, I really can't name one particular lake. I can say what it would look like though. I would love a vacation near a lake in the backyard of a small cabin my husband and I would rent for a week or two. I could go outside the cabin door and walk a very short distance in the yard and be lakeside. Smaller lakes are my favorite as they are so quiet and calming, especially first thing in the morning.

These are great. My local quilt shop only ever has odd bolts of oakshotts and I have not yet managed to collect enough coordinating colours to make a full quilt so would love to win this one.

Unknown said...

Anywhere near an ocean is a favorite spot! I was born near the beach and the water, sand and sounds always make me feel at home and at peace :)

We live 40 minutes from Lake Michigan, so that's my go-to beach. I appreciate that it is wavy, but not salty...and I don't have to worry about too many crazy water creatures. :)

Skootchover said...

I love Inks Lake in Burnet TX. I haven't been there in years but back when I was a teenager my bff and I would drive there... almost 45 min away and just sit in a tube and float around.... so much fun!

Tracine said...

Wow such an interesting weave to the fabric and in my favorite colors too!

Karen said...

I love going to the beach. I am lucky to live only about 40 minutes from the coast in Northern California, so all our beaches are wonderful. I'm not sure I have a favorite!

Any beach is fine with me, but I truly love Long Beach Island, NJ. A book and an iced tea and an umbrella and I would never move!

One English Teacher said...

Oh, thanks for the chance to win! I've heard such good things about these fabrics, but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. I think I'd love to visit Mackinac Island on Lake Huron. I love the idea of a place with no cars.

Honestly, I adore any ocean. I grew up racing sailboats on the Atlantic Ocean (off the coast of Connecticut to Maine) and for me, there is nothing better than sailing a few days offshore!

bee said...

when i travel i have a thing about touching the water of wherever i am - so i'm a fan of the unique places like a glacier in iceland, loch ness, lake michigan, etc.

Kim said...

Beautiful fabrics! I hope to one day see the Pacific Ocean. I've been to the Atlantic Ocean twice, so I'm determined to make the Pacific our next destination!

Well, I'm not so much a lake person. I do like to be near the water enjoying warm weather and sunshine, though! :) Love these fabrics. The colors are gorgeous!

Mari said...

Finland is called the country of thousand lakes and the part I`m living in is called lake-country so I have a lot of lakes to choose from. The lake by my home-city is called Kallavesi and is the choice for today. Greetings with love from Mari (mamioja(at)luukku.com)

Megan Collins said...

We took our sons to the ocean for the first time recently (in Galveston, TX).

kristyn said...

I've only been once and I can't wait to go back in September but my favorite beach spot is Emerald Isle in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Butterfly Eli said...

Ideally, I'd love to visit that pink lake in Australia. For a destination that's (slightly) closer, I'd probably want to visit Alaska and do a cruise around it. The land and sea in some of the more uninhabited places are supposed to be beautiful.

Anonymous said...

I love visiting the Oregon Coast, but particularly Cannon Beach. quiltedcat07 [at] gmail [dot] com

Kitty said...

Oakshots! Swoooon! Hmmm favorite ocean/lake spot. I think I love Schoodic Peninsula on the coast of Maine. The giant orange red rocky coast paired with the gorgeous water and deep green pine trees just are so picture perfect and peaceful! Either that, or some tropical beach where the water's warm and I can swim with sea turtles!! :) kitty (dot) wilkin (at) gmail (dot) com

Havplenty said...

I love the Caribbean waters. So many shades of aquas, blues, turquoises and greens. So inviting and I have been there many times.

I really enjoyed looking at your artsy quilts. So kewl.

Pamela said...

What beautiful fabrics and what beautiful quilts! I love snowfall. It's a quilt for staring at and reflecting - about all kinds of things. My favorite body of water is actually the creek behind my house. It's nothing special to look at, but it brings back memories of watching tadpoles with my children and walking many long gone dogs near it. Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I love all the colors of Oakshott.

Shanny said...

I had to cancel the trip this year but I am hoping to get to see the waters around Ireland soon!

elizabethdee said...

Long Island Sound, because its beaches were the first beaches we took our child to. It is wonderful to see a small child get her first glimpse of an ocean!

Jessica said...

My favourite Ocean spot is in San Francisco, where my brother lives. Someday I hope to go to PEI and visit the other coast. :)

Chirpy said...

I love water period. I would love to see the beaches of Jamaica, and Hawaii. Someday maybe. I guess for me, it's humbling to stand on the shore and realize how tiny and insignificant my life is in the vast array of life. We all need of dose of reality from time to time. =)

auschick said...

those would make gorgeous napkins!

Sel said...

I live in Sydney, Australia, so I love the Pacific Ocean at dawn, looking east out towards the sunrise before the beachgoing hordes turn up. :)

Love the colours of those Oakshotts!! We went on a family holiday to Tasmania a few years ago and did a wonderful walk around Dove Lake - it was amazing being able to see Cradle Mountain looming above us.

CraftyHourMom said...

Our favourite lake is Kimball Lake in Saskatchewan - a few years ago it was voted in the top 10 beaches of Canada. Best beach I've seen outside tropical, for sure! My husband's family has been going there since he was a small kid and we try go every summer too. THanks for the chance.

Debbie said...

What a beautiful bundle. Awww any beach would do me good now but if I could pick any place I would probably pick a beach in New England. You simply can't beat the beauty of the east coast.

Taryn V. said...

I LOVE Nachi-Cocom Beach Club in Cozumel, Mexico! We found it while on a cruise. The water is so beautiful and the all you can eat/drink part wasn't so bad either! It was nice and very quiet, especially compared to the Corona Beach, which is the first beach you see off the boat.

LittleWit said...

I love to sit on the dock by the ocean and just listen to the waves crash against the beach. Doesn't matter where or which beach. :)

Ramona said...

I love the beaches on Cape Cod, MA. I grew up in MA and whenever I go home I want to go and smell the ocean. Just love this fabric.

Leanne Parsons said...

Those fabrics are stunning! I love the ocean. There's a rocky beach near my grandmother's house that I used to visit when I was a kid. My grandfather would take me there and we'd spend hours looking for cool rocks that I'd make my parents take home. That beach is one of my favourite places in the world.

Awesome giveaway! My favourite spot by the ocean is where I grew up, Prospect, Nova Scotia.

Jolien said...

The nearest sea for me has always been the north sea, though I visited it maybe 2 or 3 times in my life. It's way cold though! For now I like lake Balaton, not too far to drive to with the kids. My favourite beach spot I've been to is in Senegal though, loved the beach in Abene. :)

Thanks for the giveaway!

JoanG said...

If I had my druthers, I'd love to go on a river cruise in China near the Three Gorges Dam area. Those Oakshott fabrics are yummy!

Just Sew Jana said...

I love Santa Cruz! Great beach, great vibe.

Love the colours! My husband's family owns a tiny spot of land up on Lake Superior. We have been there several times and the beach is deserted - just our family there. It's the best. The water is cold but very clear.

Barb Neiwert said...

Wish I could send you a photo of Redfish Lake, Idaho - google it and you'll see why it's my all-time favorite mountain lake. Relaxing, beautiful, wild.

Oh my, what amazing fabric! Thank you for the chance! I would really love to visit the Greek Islands, somewhere where there is a small uncrowded beach, and spend a relaxing week swimming, reading and doing Not Much.

That material looks gorgeous. I grew up in the Vancouver area love the beaches there. Not too hot to be able to really enjoy it.

I live on the shore at Lake Isle, Alberta, and when I sew I can look out the window at the water. I am working on a wall hanging right now that will have sand, sun, and sea in it, those colors would look so good in it!

Thanks for the chance! I grew up in Minnesota so I love small lakes myself - anything that's quiet!

There is a lake near Georgetown, Colorado I visited with my Dad. You could see the mountains reflection in the water and it was just beautiful. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com

I'm definitely a lake girl, but haven't been to any recently. Maybe we can find a new favorite this summer!
