WOO HOOO I hope I win!!!!
okay --well where does my inspiration come from? probably my sisters! yup- I dont mean to suck up, but its the truth, carmen and kerry amaze me in their talents and their creativity. I often dream about moving back and opening up a craft/coffee/birthing house together!!! YAH, that would be interesting! Carmen and Kerry are the most talented crafty people I know. love u girls!! xox
Great bag!! Thanks for the opportunity :-)
I get a lot of inspiration from the internet. There's so many people doing great crafts out there, and sharing their results with everybody!! I particularly like flickr pools. Groups like the sew mama sew group, or the i love sewing group, or the bag hag if what you're into are bags... They are great inspiration!!
Thanks again for the chance :-)

love the bag and fabrics; light blue and brown is my fav. cute blog. linked in from twitter/sewmamasew.
Very cute bag! Thanks for the chance to win! We are from ONtario too!
Well...seeing as I'm the mother of your inspiration, Charlotte, I think I should win...LOL...just kidding...but I do love this bag.
This is a beautiful bag! I'd be honored to carry it! I get my inspiration surfing quilting blogs online. One blog with favorites will keep me busy for hours! I am loving the new Moda Bakeshop site!
Heather Bailey I remember the eact moment i was insipired. I had come across her blog at a time i was looking for someting to fill my void and her fabric and sewing skills made me start taking up sewing lessons.
Sewing has not become my passion i could spend my whole day in a craft room if it were not for my kids lol
I now have an expanding page dedicated crafty mamas who inspire me with thier creations
I love your clutch!!
I get inspired by reading blogs!!
Such great talent out there!
Thank you
It's beautiful. I love the color combination and the fabrics you chose.
That is such a cute bag, perfect for an anti-purse person, like me!
My inspiration comes from mostly other quilters. I see things I like and make them my own. I'm not to into creating my own patterns yet, but I modify others to make it special to me, whether I use different colors or a different cut...
Hello - Here are some blogs I really enjoy. They have good tutorials, too. I love the purse you're giving away...very pretty. Thanks for hosting.

One of the blogs I read is QuiltDad - I like the colors and the simplicity of what he makes (or swaps)
http://quiltdad.blogspot.com/
For your Wonderland quilt, I think it depends on what you want the quilt for - the gray makes it calmer, the white more fresh and clean. I like the white better myself.
I love to get inspiration from Flickr, so much talent over there.
This is a beautiful giveaway.
My biggest inspriation comes from magazines that I have sent to my house. I love carrying them around in my purse to doctor's appts and stuff like that, and just soaking up ideas! Love it
Thanks for the giveaway. I love the colors too!
I follow you!

For inspiration I always look at flickr to spy on what other people are doing! It is where i see new material and how people use them
gorgeous bag ! Thanks for taking part.
Just read the rest of your blog. Love it ! Put you in my bloglist !

What a cute clutch! I love giveaways
soulemama gave me lots of inspiration initially. now it's crafty bloggers all over the net. i can't believe how much generosity there is out there and a willingness to share ideas! i love it! ;)
WHat a cute little clutch!! Something about myself... I am one week overdue with a baby boy. I can find inspiration in anything. Colors, a conversation, an idea.. I really have no control over it, but it is such a joy to sew and quilt.
Oh I love the clutch. I generally find my inspiration on the internet and from the library. I have a number of favourite websites which includes http://ayumills.blogspot.com/
Please put my name in the draw.
Thank you Sew much for sharing your lovely creation. abby

Count me in. I love that fabric! I have already blogged about the draw but just found your blog.I will be following your blog now. I always like to find fellow Canadian quilters.
i highlight your here http://freckledbeauties.blogspot.com/
i found that your blog is worth to follow
and i really love the color of the clutch!
thanks for a lovely giveaway. check out mine!
Great giveaway! So glad to find your blog, I will follow you on Google Reader. I look to Crazy Mom Quilts for inspiration (crazymomquilts.blogspot.com). Thanks.
I love the idea of Sewn. I can't wait for it to go live.
I rode my bike to work for the first time today. How's that for something random.

I love your bag. My favorite colors. I love the website QuiltArt.com there are so many links on there to wonderful things. An interesting thing about me is I am probably the oldest working pastry chef.
Thanks for the opportunity.
pastrymama1@yahoo.com
Love it!!! thanks for the chance! following too!
Here's a link to a site I visit everyday several times a day.
http://quilterblogs.com/
It's great for seeing what so many quilting blogs are up to. Now that I have the net, I don't rely so much on books or magazines like in the 'old days'. Everything we need is online!
...oh, I have been debating doing the Sewn giveaway...so impressed you are doing it! Let's see, inspiration...well normally is from looking at books, especially oldschool craft books from thrift shops!
It's going to sound very cliche but other peoople's blogs are my inspiration! Sometimes it is just their heading or their background picture which gives me ideas, sometimes a photo or a colour combination. Thanks for your giveaway and for entering mine! I have become a 'follower'!
Oh I want to play! Count me in! I will put the button on my sidebar shortly!

Architecture is my kick right now. I'm sketching lots of ideas!
But seriously, would love to win :-)

Oh, I love the bag and would be thrilled to be entered in the drawing. I am probably most inspired by color. It's what I look for at first in magazines and books. Secondly I like folk art type. One site that I like to check out, though not folk art, is A Stitch in Time:
http://carolclasper.blogspot.com/
There're are some good machine quilting tips there.
I will follow your blog. It's delightful.
Thanks for the give away chance.

Great give away... my inspiration comes from Threadbangers.com and buttonsbyloulou.blogspot.com

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I took a look at your fabrics for the Old Red Barn Co. quilt along and they look great! I am excited to see how they turn out in the quilt. I really liked the ones that Dana chose for her quilt, so I had a hard time talking myself into not copying her.
As for my inspiration- so many blogs online- some are listed on my blog, but I have found so many more in these recent giveaways! that is why I need to ground myself from the internet so I can get anything done. I am currently obsessed with Heather Ross Far Far Away all because of the quilts mad by Ashley of http://www.filminthefridge.com/ I am very inspired by all of the improve quilting that people are doing. Ok- sorry for the novel in your comments!
Terrific bag design and love the colors! Thanks for a great giveaway. My inspiration comes from my customers in my quilt shop every single day - come on over and visit!
I would love to win that beautiful clutch!
I get sew much inspiration from the members of www.sewingmamas.com
