Woot! It's Boxing Day!
Okay, well, for those of us in the U.S. that probably doesn't mean a whole lot. But it sounds a lot more interesting than "the day after Christmas." There are a variety of explanations for the beginning of the holiday but generally it was the day that tradespeople (and servants) got extra tips or gifts for having provided good service through the year. It sounds to me, from our friends in those countries that do actually observe Boxing Day, that it's become something akin to our U.S. Black Friday and is mostly known for crowds at malls.
Hey, I'm willing to stay home to avoid the crowded malls in Canada, just like I stay home to avoid the crowded malls in the U.S. on Black Friday. Another great excuse for a Sew-In!
The Giveaway
To celebrate Boxing Day, I'm giving away four sets of fat quarters--one set to each of four lucky winners!
Ooh--black, white, and red! Great combination for a bag or zipper pouch!
Got a Scrabble lover in your life? This set would make a great totebag or mug rug (with room for cookies).
This sophisticated stripey set could make a slick cosmetics bag or professional-looking technology sleeve.
This beautiful leaf print and coordinates would make a lovely table runner--get a head start on your fall seasonal projects!
Or use them any way you want! I'll be choosing which one I'm sending to each winner--so it's a bit pot-luck. But all of them have tons of possibilities!
