My giveaway is
A pretty pouch inspired by this lovely make from the talented VeryKerryBerry, it measures 8.5 x 9 so will hold quite a lot, I would use it for my sewing trinkets but you may have an entirely different purpose in mind!
To enter leave me a comment telling me what you want from a crafting/sewing/quilting blog, what makes you return time after time and become a follower? You don't need to be a follower to enter though, I only want people to become followers if they like what they see, I certainly don't want to force your hand!
My lovely followers will get a second chance. Just leave a separate comment telling me you are a follower. Of course if you are a new follower then this will include you too.
This is open to international entries, winner to be drawn randomly and notified by email.
I have a second giveaway going on here, so head on over and check it out

Tutorials
Free pattern downloads
Hopefully a fabric swap
More on my quest to design and produce my own fabrics
As well as lots of makes and titbits on my life and the big move we are hoping to make from England to Australia

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 369 Newer› Newest»Ohhh pouch love! I like to be inspired with new and original ideas - and to have a laugh or giggle along the way. So... I guess I just like people to keep it real and showcase their successes and, alas, failures. ;)
Hi, I don't expect much from a crafting/sewing/quilting blog :) I'm just curious about other people's work. I like to read and to write comments. If I like somebody's works I became a follower.
And it's good to make friends this way.
I'm a follower (and desperately hoping that comment 1 wins, for a change). Thanks for the two awesome giveaways. :)
What a fabulous pouch! I suppose I tend to follow people who make lots of different things and use fabric I love. I llike blogs to be a bit personal too.
I'm a follower :)
I like tutorials...and lots of pictures! The look of a blog is important too. Thanks for a chance to win!
I'm a follower. =)
Your pouch is gorgeous! I love seeing the process of how someone gets from an idea to the final product. That doesn't mean I want all the secrets, but I do like to see a piece evolve.
I'm a follower. :)
Such a cute bag! What makes me return to crafting blogs are great photography, tutorials, and the fact that I can feel like a "friend" to the blog owner.

I love this bag! Too cute!!

Your pouch is beautiful! I always come back to blogs where the writer sounds friendly and approachable, and with nice colourful photos.
I like blogs for inspiration and for tutorials. I like that you will be doing a fabric swap. The pouch is very cute!

I'm a follower, and will definitely be coming back here :)
Right from the start, my eye was drawn to your pouch--love the colours. I am always amazed at the enormous creativity and love and abounds in blog world. I will definitely check out the rest of your blog. Have a wonderful holiday season.
I like blogs with lots of pictures for inspiration. Tutorials too, of course.
Cute bag!
My eye was drawn to the colours in your pouch--lovely. I admire the creativity and love in blog world and will check out your older posts as soon as I am done!
I love seeing what others are doing. (I also like learning how to fix mistakes.)

Gorgeous bag! I enjoy reading about how crafters get it all done actually. I like reading about successes as well as mistakes made. Inspiring links, etc.
Frequent postings - at least once a week. Interesting screw-ups to keep it real, and photos.
I like your selection of fabrics on the pouch.
I like craft blogs that have lots of variety. Variety in type of craft as well as skill level. Pictures are a plus too. Thanks so much for the chance to win. The pouch is so pretty!
I love tutorials. I'm new to following quilt blogs and have gotten a lot out of tutorials. Also, I've recently done a quilt along, which was a lot of fun. A fabric swap sounds great, too. Have not gotten in on one yet...
Blogs that I return to have two things - 1. they post often, even if they dont' have finished products (I love to hear about progress and see photos of WIP), and 2. they have lots of photos. I just love to *see* what other people are doing with fabric!
I love to see what people are doing. New ideas are always awesome!
I'm a follower. :)
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
In a crafty blog I like to find tutorials and new ideas.
Cute
I love tutorials .... to me seeing the pictures as the project is made really helps me understand the process
I do love blogs that have good tutorials and photos of sewn goods. I actually prefer blogs that post *less* frequency, because subscribing to a blog that has daily posts is just more than I can keep up with!
I like a variety of techniques and skill levels. It's also fun to read about your creative journey and what inspires you. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi, I love originality, be it using fabrics in inventive ways, or new ideas for scraps.... with good pictures!
Thanks for hosting - its a beautiful bag.
I just fell in love with your blog (and your pouch). Blogs with photos are always inspiring for me. I love tutorials that provide lots of instruction and photos.

I just became a follower and i'm excited!

Unique blogs bring me back over and over- those bloggers that don't just follow the trends, but follow their own creativity. Good photographs also help.
This is a beautiful pouch, by the way! Your sewing is just stunning.
Two give-aways?! How kind!
When I look at crafty blogs I like to see modern quilting techniques, similar fabric taste to mine and techniques that I can learn from.
I have become a follower
Very cute! I love tutorials!

cute little bag! I look for humour, colour and inspiration in a blog.
Precious! I find my INSPIRATION to do it myself!
Adorable pouch. Love it.
The pouch is adorable (as is the bunny one in your review photos). I need a new crochet hook holder.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I like blogs with tutorials, a sense of humor, and good photos help too.
I am a new follower. :)

Lovely bag. I like a blog that has lots of photos, good instructions, nice projects and somebody who doesn't take themself too seriously
Just started following your blog!
I like blogs that have beautiful photos, and lots of tutorials!
The nag is beautiful. I like sewing blogs that give me great ideas of things to make, or offer tips on fitting, or show off pretty fabrics. It's nice to know that sewing isn't a dying art, as it seems sometimes.
And that was supposed to say BAG, not nag. Oops!
The cuter the projects, the better for me! I like to see unique ideas and links to what inspired them.
I am a sucker for pictures and projects. What a great little bag!
I love to pick ideas or inspiration and sometimes, I learn how to make things or follow tutorials... And when I feel like it's my style, I will easily add the blog to my reader (more than "officially" become a follower...)
And I really like what you do so... I'm a follower (and more important : you're in my reader !)
I love to be inspired by other people's creations, so I do love lots of photos and tutorials.
But most importantly, I want to get to feel like I "know" the blogger - a friendly, fun, writer's "voice" (like yours!) is a big draw!
I like seeing other people's creativity and ideas. I usually "like" blogs that are somewhat similar to what I do but that give me a bit of a challenge to do more!
I'm a new follower~
What a great little pouch! I've added your blog to my google reader. The things that make me come back are humorous writing and original projects. Thanks for the great giveaway!
i love this pouch!, i like to see a variety of projects. and it's great to see tutorials on making things.
The pouch is adorable!
Well, I follow the blogs that inspire me, this is the most important. Could be through beautiful works or the way they share their thoughts. I find the tutorials very helpful, specially in the sewing cathegory, as i have soooooo much to learn.. :D
I became a follower, it's one of the things I like so much the sms giveaway day. Finding out new good blogs to follow! :)
I love seeing pictures of completed crafted items and then a tutuorial on how to make said crafted item. I'm addicted to it in a way, I think :)
yvonnetrail@comcast.net
Tutorials, tutorials, tutorials! And if the blogger doesn't have any great ones of his/her own that's no biggie, links are awesome. Thanks for the great giveaway, and Happy Holidays!
Good pictures. Great fabric. Detailed tutorials. Thanks for the chance to win :-) jjjcwebb (at) Hotmail d0t com

Tutorials and a sense of humor....
I love seeing other's processes on blogs. It helps me refine mine and seeing other's projects is inspiring to me!
I also love tutorials (but who doesn't?)
Beautiful pouch-love it! I look for ideas that I can do myself. Thanks!
I am happy to follow you!
Yeah .. love it! What keeps me interested in a blog is lots of photos. And no religious talk or political talk. Those things that mama told you to keep to yourself.
I so can't wait to see you in the new year! Yippee!
I am so a follower. . and love it!
Lovely pouch! I like blogs that give me ideas.. pictures of finished projects, works-in-progress, etc. :)

Very cute. I love tutorials and regular updates of new projects.
I love tutorials and lots of pictures!
knspears (at) gmail (dot) com
I love this little pouch, thanks for a great giveaway
To be honest I want interaction from people whose blogs I comment on, otherwise I feel I might as well be talking to the wind, you need to put in what you want to get out. Content wise, sewing/creative/food related things interest me, the intricate workings of your two-year-old's mind, not so much (but that's probably because I don't have kids) Thanks for the chance to win!
And I follow you already
I love active bloggers who do a variety of projects like filminthefridge. Mainly I.just want to be inspired! The prizes you made for the giveaway day are definitely inspiring!
I love seeing tutorials for fun projects I can work on. Thanks!
I love to see photos of cute projects, and tutorials, and ideas.
I love beautiful pictures and neat, inspired ideas!

Thank you for the chance!
Tutorials and sew alongs really draw me to a blog. Yours looks great!
lwghosts at yahoo dot com
I love free tutorials...
I am entering the give away too, pop over to my blog
http://sewasecondchance.blogspot.com/
What a great pouch. I'm afraid I don't know what draws me to a blog! One thing is that I like a clean background so I don't have to search for the posts.
For me, a great log has a little humor, loads of inspiration and resources, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Also, I like to support "the little guy/gal" whenever possible, so having loads of sponsors tends to turn me off.
GREAT bag! Thanks for the opportunity!
I follow blogs when I like what the blogger makes. Your stuff is cute! :)
... and I'm a follower, of course! :D
That is the CUTEST bag ever! I always look for fresh ideas in a blog!
Thank you for the opportunity to win your giveaway! Happy Holidays to you and your family <3 xo

I am always looking for new ideas with tips/patterns, thanks!
I'm following now, thanks for the chances!
lovely pouch! in a blog I look for big, bright & pretty pictures along with great tutorials!
I like easy to follow directions with lots of photos. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win this amazing pouch!
New follower! Love your work!
I love blogs with fresh ideas and ones that talk about how they made things, not necessarily tutorials.
new follower
That pouch is darling! I just love the fabric selection and quilting.
Enticed, indeed! New follower
BLogs with good tutorials & plenty of links to other blogs to check out!
Australia sounds exciting.
Of the blogs that I follow, I enjoy the photography, free tutorials, and patterns. Giveaways are good too, but not expected.

I love a blog that shows eye candy" regularly and tells a little about the process. Great giveaway, and thanks!
I'm a follower!
Some blogs I follow for inspiration and tutorials such as Quiltville. Others it is how interactive they are, the authors are also on flickr and hosting QAL's etc.
I like new and interesting ideas, great writing, and basically a fun person who visits my blog, too! jinglesells at gmail dot com
I just love seeing everyone else`s makes and I follow those I can relate to. Gorgeous pouch - I have to try one one day! Thank you so much.
I`m a follower!
I like to see ways (with lots of tips and tricks and photos) to use quilting and sewing used to make everyday and useful items - especially for tastefully and creatively organizing in the home.
Love this pouchie!!
The blogs I return to have a variety of things that appeal to me. Tutorials with lots of clear instructions. Pictures of projects being worked on or completed.
I honestly love great, well lit photos on a blog, no matter what the content. I'm a sucker for eye candy... and this bag my friend is eye candy indeed!
I love blogs that share their tutorials with lots of photos and easy steps.
I've added you to my blog reader
I like inspiring projects, creative tutorials, a fun read, someone I can relate to.
I like craft blogs that are well written and include many pictures of projects I would actually want to make (or own). Thanks for offering the giveaway.
I like free patterns, inspiration and fairly quick things. On limited income so freebies do help. I am new to blogs.. How do I start following? The only ones I know are my grandkids... with posting by my daughters.
I like pretty pictures!

So far I enjoy your blog! I am now following!
What a gorgeous pouch - you are very talented :)
I love well-written tutorials with loads of pics. It doesn't have to be originals, just a new spin on it with "tricky thingie" warnings etc. will get my vote. I also love the 'humaness' behind bloggers, so write what you want to write about, not what you hope people would want to hear.

In a blog I like to be inspired to do things that I can ACTUALLY DO! I like some variety in levels of difficulty and to feel free to "copy" an idea and make it for myself... very limited budget and I live remotely so have a hard time buying fabrics. I drool over all these fabrics and ideas!
I love to see what others do, it inspires me to think differently rather than just making the same old stuff, particularly when there are lots of purdy piccies!!
loops at loop-da-loop dot com
I look for variety! I love to see all kinds of different projects whterh they are quilts, bags, pouches, toys, etc. Anything that makes me smile!!
I love blogs that inspire me with regular finished products, and fun tutorials. I also like picture heavy blogs. Thanks for the chance to win your lovely bag!
I like a blog that has great photos, inspiring ideas, not too much waffling on and a bit of humour thrown in.
I love your blog and I have a pouch fetish. hehe
I love tutorials on blogs, and seeing all the lovely goodies people make !Thanks for the giveaway!

Also, what keeps me coming back to a blog is if there's lots of tutorials that are pretty easy! I love tutorials <3
i want to learn something new. i'm also looking for great pictures and great writing, but the crafting has to be what brings me back.
I really love the selection of fabrics in your bag. Very pretty. To me, a blog that I will come back to is well written, I like the work, and I feel like I can connect with them.. Is that helpful?!
That is a really pretty little pouch! Thanks for giving such a darling away!

What makes me come back are nice simple easy tutorials and interesting projects
I go back to blogs because of the pictures and tutorials. :) Such awesome inspiration.

Just adorable. I go back to blogs that have a new post at least several times a week and have fresh ideas.
I like seeing pictures and tutorials.
Hi there! Visiting for the first time via the Sew Mama Sew giveaway. Your creation is just lovely. I am not signing on for all the givieaways-- just picking and choosing a special few that really resonate with me. I like to read quilting/creating/crafting/photography blogs that are real-- they include inspiring creations, as well as snippets of real life-- whether it be family, inspiration, the little things, reflection, honesty. I also enjoy tutorials, but that's not a pre-requisite. Every blog is individual in its own way. If I like the author's "voice", then I check it out and follow. I'm definitely going to check out some more of your posts. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I like to get inspiration from a sewing blog - pictures, colours, projects and tips.
Tutes and project ideas and really good writing.
I'm so a follower!
What a wonderful pouch. Thanks for a chance to win. I love tutorials and finished projects.
Love, love, love this pouch. I also do needlework and this would be perfect to store current projects in. Thanks. KatheGTN at aol dot com

Best,

Ideas and pictures. It's like crack...I'm so addicted to finding new cool things to make. It's inspiring.

Also a new follower. Finding new blogs to follow through this giveaway day is awesome!

I like to visit craft blogs that offer tutorials - I am new to the craft of sewing and I am learning so much from others who share their behind-the-scenes tips and project ideas.
Thanks for the chance to win such a fun giveaway!
Hi there! I'm new to checking out blogs but I love something that's inspiring, fun & easy to read. Lots of eye candy : )
That's a lovely bag! I like the blogs with pictures, regular posts, and a sense of humor. I especially like writing where the author's personality comes through.
That is a really cute pouch. I would love to win it. I like tutorials but understand they are very time consuming to write. Pretty pictures and inspiration are also great. Thanks for the giveaway.
I follow a lot of blogs so I usually skim the reader and then stop when I see a cool/inspiring/creative quilty project picture or a tutorial.
awesome balls giveaway!!!
A blogger that makes beautiful things, takes beautiful photos and presents a tone of calm and happiness in her entries. These keep me coming back. So nice to meet you here!
What a lovely pouch. Oh, the possibilities. What I'd like from a crafy/sewing blog is inspiration. And I see that here for sure. Thanks for the giveaway! b.moews@gmail.com
love this! I want tutorials and ideas to spur my own creativity. thanks!
now i am a follower!
Well your list of things for 2012 are all things that make me want to follow a blog! Also someone with taste similar to mind, good explanations of how you've done things, responding quickly to comments at least when a question is asked. Thanks for this chance!

I like blogs that show the process of making their projects. I learn so much!

Thank you for offering the adorable purse as a prize to some lucky individual.
I love unusual takes on traditional things!
I love easy to follow tutorials! Also I love camera settings on photos from photo blogs! Amy @ gasudimack@sbcglobal.net
I like tutorials and finished projects with links to the original pattern or tutorial.
mindfulhome at gmail dot com
I love quirky ideas, the odd tutorial and seeing how proud someone is when they finish a project!
I look for projects that are my style, that I'd consider making . . . and some writing injected with personality. :)
Love this! I'd like originality in a blog and not just a follower/copier of other's goods/ideas.
Your work is lovely. I'm happy to find your blog and I'm about to add you to my reader once I've posted. I like to see a blog with a bit of originality not just copying other people's projects.
I would say pretty projects, tutorials and giveaways!
What a sweet little pouch! I love blogs that show neat projects and provide inspiration. I also love blogs that are chatting and welcoming and make me feel that I already know the person writing the posts.
I am already a follower of your lovely blog :)
I love the little pouch! I think for me a great blog to follow has how to tutorials or great photos of things I'm interested in! Thank you for offering this sweet giveaway! Hugs, Janice
Tutorials are always the thing that brings me back.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

This bag is too stinking adorable!
I'm also a follower!
I have found so many amazing craft bloggers because of this giveaway! Even if I don't win a giveaway, I've got inspiration for months!
What a gorgeous pouch! My favourite thing about craft blogs is definitely the inspiration factor I get from reading - the great photos and tutorials are great too!
I like to see passion from the blogger. If they really like what they are doing I return. The pouch is adorable. Thank you for the giveaway!
what I expect from a quilt - inspiration and good tagging so when I think I like on bag, maybe the person did more bags that I would like - so having a tag is quite useful
Thanks for the chance to win your bag!
