Re: Book Giveaway: "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty"

I have always felt that sewing is art. I would love a copy of this book.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Threads Magazine Archive, 1985-2011

This would be the best gift...to myself! I found Threads magazine only a couple of years ago. I would love to have a complete set.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Threads Sewing Guide"

This looks wonderful--filled with tons of helpful sewing techniques and as well as the basics. Nice clear illustrations and photography is a big plus. I would love to have this book for an every-day go-to guide.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Draping Basics" by Sally M. Di Marco

I am such a novice when it comes to draping. I want to do more with it, in skirts and dresses. Your book would be a terrific guide for me.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Embroidered Textiles" by Sheila Paine

When a child is baptized at my church, I embroider the little cloth that is used. It is so special to receive this sweet white handkerchief with name, date, and a little cross embroidered free-hand in white floss. I treasure the ones given to me when my girls were baptized and now it is my turn to do it.

Re: Magazine Giveaway: "Quick Stuff to Sew"

My sewing cabinet is full of small pieces of fabric waiting for new fresh ideas. I hope I win your magazine.

Re: Book Giveaway: "Horrockses Fashions: Off-the-Peg Style in the '40s and '50s"

What a pretty cover! It tempts me to look inside.

Re: Vote for the Winner of the Inspired by Threads Contest

Beautifully done!

Re: Book Giveaway - The Complete Photo Guide to Ribbon Crafts

The Complete Guide to Ribbon Crafts by Elaine Schmidt sounds wonderful! I especially like that it has 700 pictures. I have never been able to make good-looking bows. I would love to try making flowers from ribbon.
