#1000NamesWins......Eddycrest Sewing Furniture.....Naming Contest!!!

When I say this is Big....I am not kidding.....but how Big? That depends purely upon all of you!!!!

You control the level of prizes in this contest!!! Intrigued?

I'll explain in a minute, but first, let me tell you a little bit about 

@eddy crest.furniture

I first became aware of Eddycrest Sewing Furniture while on a shop hop here in Ontario, Canada. 

It was love at first sight, when I saw the sewing table set up in Country Patchworks 

but I wasn't ready to purchase at the time, because I was still saving for my longarm.

Fast forward a few years and again on the same shop hop, with my husband this time, who is my rock and supports my quilting hobby 100 percent. He also is so much better about spending money on me then I am. Why is it that women feel guilty.... even now that my kids are full grown... I still struggle with spending larger amounts of money 

on things that are "just for me".....

My husband calls them "investment pieces", Happy Wife, Happy Life, lol

and asks me...will they be used, will they make things easier, 

will they last...yes, yes and yes!!!

He's the best, and so right! (don't tell him I said that, 😉)

Ok...back to the original post.....

Left: Short Right                                  Right: Standard

We ended up going back and taking an Eddycrest shop tour....and let me tell you, it's impressive!

Starting with the C.N.C. machine that cuts out each blank sheet of baltic birch

The sewing tables are then routered, sanded and branded by the talented Eddycrest team

The Top Secret finishing process comes next and let me tell you it is smooth!!

(no pictures of that though...lol)

Then the tables are assembled and ready to ship to all us happy customers!! 

You can see in the first picture I ended up buying a Short Right and a Standard....I'll share more pictures and my experience (all good) in another post, being as this is probably going to be my longest post to date, and you are probably anxious to get to the contest......

And I bet by now you are also wondering what the big surprise is.......

or maybe you skipped to the bottom, lol 

Well the Eddycrest team is expanding their product line to include another sewing table size...

It's just perfect for a small room sewer, compact in size, but with the same quality and craftsmanship that Eddycrest puts into all their products......

And

They are having a hard time coming up with a name.....

They've been calling it, 

the Basic Sewing Centre work table that is ergonomic and stores just a little bit, but looks and feels "Real Nice"

As you can image that is quite a mouth full....that's where you all come in....

They have decided to have a naming contest, 

so get your thinking caps on and come up with your best idea! 

This is not a random draw type of contest, best name wins, chosen by the Eddycrest team...

 but there is a catch.....

It's a 3 tiered contest:

Level 1:

If 50 of you lovelies submit your name ideas

The Eddycrest team will award the naming winner with a 40" Quilt Mount with white finish

Valued at $70 Can.

click on picture to be taken to a video on how the quilt mount works

But......

Level 2:

If 500 of you amazing readers submit your name ideas

The Eddycrest team will up the ante and the top prize will become a shelving unit 

(sorry fabric not included)! 

Valued at $400 Can.

And the Second place winner will receive the Quilt Mount

And if that wasn't good enough....

Level 3:

Here it is the top prize, if 1000 of you totally awesome followers and friends submit your name ideas (spread the word)

The Eddycrest team is generously awarding the winning name's submitter with.....

Their very own model of the new desk they just named!! How awesome is that!!!

And the Second runner up receives the Shelf Unit 

And the Third runner up receives the Quilt Mount

Valued at $950 Can.

And I know right about now, some of you are wondering.....is this contest open outside of Canada.....

YES!!!! 

Isn't that Fantastic!!

Open to all!!

And if that wasn't awesome enough....

A few of my other Blog Sponsors 

have generously donated more prizes

So if your name wasn't chosen.....

You still could win in the random draw for these 3 amazing prizes...

#91 Wiggle Me Colorful Sew Along Info and a Give Away

I'm not as young as I use to be....now I'm not trying to make excuses....just reasoning why I am so far behind...I just can't do it all...lol. I know some of my Instagram friends jokingly call me the machine....maybe when it comes to sewing, but not where yard work is concerned...and I've been doing a lot of that lately. My Mother-in-law is turning 75 and my father-in-law asked if we would host a birthday dinner at our home and of course we said yes....I love my in-laws....they're the best. The only problem is now 20 plus people are coming here and all the yard work and house work, lets face it,  would never have gotten done till after the Sew Along was over, all of a sudden had an immediate deadline. Yikes, I hate deadlines.....lol!!
Good news, yard work is done....and I am almost totally recovered, (the I am old part!!)... and this week I will be working on the pattern, pictures and tutorial for the sew along.!!!!!

 Thank goodness when I got to the walkway, the field work was done and my son started helping.

 There is no way I could have lifted some of these stones.

 Every single stone in the path and the flower beds has been found on the farm property, mostly dug out of a field, which makes it super special and cheap, lol

Here is the great news: 

I have been in contact with some great online shops here in Canada and have some give aways planned and kits available. Hope to share more news about the kits real soon, there has been an issue with some back orders, but as far as a give away.....

Fabric Please has generously donated two Bali Pops, and I am sharing one with you!!! The other will be the tutorial sample and I can't wait to start!! 

So let's keep this simple, the give away is open to everyone....including international visitors. I am not going to have a sign up for the sew along, but hope that you will sign up to follow my blog via email or bloglovin, etc.... I truly appreciate everyone who takes the  time to stop by and comment, and I hope that the sew along will be a fun experience for us all.

I also wanted to let you know that Craftsy is having a sale on their classes. I have to say that when I first heard of Craftsy I wasn't convinced that I needed to pay for classes, lol! I signed up and downloaded some free classes and loved them. Then they had a sale and I bought a class.....well lets just say I have bought a few... the teachers are amazing, the videos are done so well, and the fact that they are always yours and available is fantastic, not to mention the list of subjects available. If you have an interest, there is probably a class available. If you haven't checked Craftsy out this weekend would be a great time to see what you are missing.
