Becky Sorrells from Marietta, GA here to say congrats on reaching 4K!!!
If I win I will share my winnings with my mentor who got me into quilting since she lost everything in a fire at her home recently..She lost all her machines, her grandmothers antique sewing machine. All her quilts, all her designs, books, software. I am trying to help her rebuilt her stash, library and a little peace of mind.
What fantastic prizes! I’m a new sewer, and would be thrilled to play with any of the prizes!

I just love your spunk and fire! Way back when I was a teen, my mom came home with a tee-shirt that said “ladies terrorist and sewing circle” which, of course, was a lot funnier in the 70s. She was a bad-ass sewer (her mom made quilts) who made me and my sisters a lot of our clothes over the years, including Ditto jeans (we couldn’t afford them.) I’m a “throw the pattern book on the couch” kind of gal who just tosses it together and comes up with my own way of doing things. I’d love to win your contest and introduce MY teenager into the mystic tribe of bad assery.
