For those of you who haven't seen it before, it's a seam ripper that picks up all those annoying little threads that get left behind with a swipe of the white rubbery tip. Now, being fairly new to quilting, I do my fair share of ripping out seams. It works great, much better than picking out the threads with my fingers....
So, if you are interested in winning this lovely pink lady, all you need to do is check out another post or page on my blog and come back here and leave a comment. For a second entry, be or become a follower of my blog and leave a second comment letting me know.
This giveaway will be open until September 3 at which point some lucky participant will be chosen at random. This giveaway is open to international participants.
Good Luck!
I'm so jealous of your Betsey! She is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog :)
ReplyDeleteDid you make that beautiful peacock dress? Wow! I also like the baby burp cloths.
ReplyDeleteI did! That was my first attempt at with a sewing machine. It was a lot of fun. Last year I made Diva's Tinkerbell costume, and this year I'm working on something special too!
DeleteI love your menu board!! What a fabulous idea! I'm bad at planning meals too... What a cool idea for a seam ripper... I hate those pesky threads too! Thanks for a chance to win! :)

ReplyDeleteThe peacock derss is seriously adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the erase board to create a "word bubble" for Baby! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a picture frame! I wrote on the glass with a dry erase marker,

ReplyDeleteBetsy is beautiful! If you have the serial number for her, you can go to the Singer website and look up her birth date and place. My son got me one almost like her. He found it at a thrift store and bought it without knowing if it even worked. I cleaned and oiled and she sews great!
ReplyDeleteI like the menu board...may have to try that myself. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found a good 1/4" foot. Cool seam ripper, I haven't seen on like that before.
ReplyDeleteI went and checked out one of your old posts where you created a costume for one of your kids it was amazing. I will be back to visit again.

ReplyDeleteI can't believe how gorgeous that peacock dress is!! Well done girl! =)
ReplyDeleteBesty is gorgeous! I am too chicken to try a vintage machine (and too inept to know if it's in working order by looking at it.)

ReplyDeleteI love the singer
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your Phillies cake and peacock costume are AMAZING!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am totally jealous of your new (old) sewing machine. I remember both my grandmother and great aunt having a similar machine and I WISH I had thought to ask about inheriting it. I think they are beautiful machines and they also are sentimental to me--I think of all the beautiful quilts and piecework that the women in my family created on machines like that.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone ever grows out of a need for a seam ripper! I hadn't heard of this kind before though, what a cool idea.
i am a new follower thanks
ReplyDeletelove your cat in the hat
ReplyDeleteLove your singer!! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove your new (old) Singer sewing machine. I love the look of them, but DH and I promised each other that we wouldn't fill our new house with things we didn't NEED. I am getting away with a room full of fabric.. LOL. I best not push it.
ReplyDeleteI love 'the cat in the hat' fabric you're using to make a quilt for Diva!

Well, I haven't seen this tool before but it sure sounds like a good one...all those little thread snips take awhile to clean up :-)

ReplyDeleteThe baby nursery is so pretty! Blue is my favorite color, so I'm really loving those walls! And the Winnie the Pooh quote is just perfect!

ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHello ~ First time visitor, coming in with the blog hopping visitors. You have a number of very cute things you've made in the past. I love the Baby taggie quilt and thank you for the link to that site. I went to the site and then found their blog where I found a free pattern for that quilt and SO many other super cute quilts, baby items, and table runners. I got lost over there for about an hour and now I'm back to say thank you. With a 6 month old Granddaughter who I am fortunate to snuggle with every day since Mom and Daddy had to move in with us so she might be getting some new stuff if I can get things made.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower now as well with the GFC. (If you would consider adding the follow by email I would love to do that too since I tend to visit much more with those email notifications of new posts.)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say too that I have never seen this tool you posted. What an awesome idea with that rubber tip on the top. I love that. Usually I have my lint roller handy to run over things that leave little pieces of thread like that. I started doing that when working with machine embroidery since it worked so well when I had a lint roller nearby and had a lot of threads needing to be picked off. The rubber tip though is even quicker since you can use the seam ripper and then just flip the tool over since it's already in your hand.
Good luck finding Betsy's accessories!
ReplyDeleteI love Betsy!!! What a find!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. Love the seam ripper. I have never seen one like this.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a seem ripper like this before - seriously sweet!

I love the dress cakes. I had one when I was 7. That was a very very long tine ago.. And that is a neat seam ripper..
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI have become a new follower and have looked at Things I Bake. You do an exceptional job on your cakes. I have never such a great quilting tool like that one in my life. That will certainly come in handy when ripping. We all do that. Just part of quilting. Even comes in pink. Pretty color. Thank you for joining in the Blog Hop and giving all of us a chance to win that useful quilting tool.

ReplyDeleteI just read about Betsy! Boy, that brought back memories. My mother got hers in 1951 or so. She didn't do much with it except to patch things but my grandmother sewed on it and I learned on it! I have passed it down to my daughter-in-law so that she and my granddaughter can use it!
ReplyDeleteYour Cat in the Hat quilt is lookin great!
ReplyDeleteI looked at your latest post and I love the Cat in the Hat quilt you have! I can't wait to see the finished product because...

ReplyDeleteThe peacock dress is fabulous! thank you for a lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great seam ripper. I tend to loose mine all over the house for some reason. Maybe I would be able to keep it somewhere safe if it were nicer, haha. I love your new old Singer. So pretty! I recently picked up a Pfaff 30 treadle machine that works and I totally love, too.
ReplyDeleteNew follower, and love your betsy! Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat Cat in the Hat quilt. I'll look forward to seeing it finished!
