So I talked a bit about Suzuko Koseki in the
previous post. I thought I'd go over about
In this book, there are 35 patchwork projects
ranging from a little coin purse to kitchen items,
handbags, pillows and quilts.
Suzuko shares with you several different
techniques including applique, logcabin, free
machine stitching, and quilting in her projects.
Every time I flip through the pages, I find something
in this book that I hadn't noticed before. The
more I look closely at each project in it, the
more I find out small details that make each
project so cheerful and special.. I just love it.
So today I'd like to host a giveaway for this book
AND Suzuko Koseki fabrics! Two lucky winners will
receive Patchwork Style book from its publisher
and one of you will win a set of two fat quarters
of Suzuko Koseki fabrics from me! (I'll pick
fun SK prints for you in Japan!)
To enter this giveaway, just leave a comment
telling me about your favorite moment in the day.
Oh and let me know if you specifically want
either the book or the fabrics. If you don't
say anything about it, I assume you are up to both.
I will pick three winners on the 20th of this month
and will announce them on the 21st - next Monday!
Good luck :)
My favourite moment in the day is early in the morning - I wake up at 5.30 and I get to have a good hour and a half to myself before I have to drag my teenage daughter out of bed. That's my "mental health" time to read murder novels or watch Glee on the computer or do a crossword puzzle or some hand sewing. thanks for the awesome giveaway - I'd love to win that gorgeous book!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is picking up my kids from daycare. They always have the loveliest smiles when I come to greet them. I treasure this always.
ReplyDeleteEnter me for fabric please
I have this book and you are right it is beautiful and detailed.
My favourite moment is kissing my man goodbye in the morning--I work earlier than he does, so he's always still all snuggly and half asleep in bed.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is early in the morning. I would love the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks
My favorite part of the day is playing with my kids before work in the morning, and checking in on them when they are sleeping, just before I go to bed.
ReplyDeleteI love this book. One of the few craft books I own. So please enter me for the fabric. Thanks so much!

My favorite moment of the day is tiptoeing into my kids room to watch them sleep. Their faces all relaxed and squished into the pillow. Their deep breaths of sleep relaxing me instantly and letting me know all is well with my world.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric would be lovely! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I get up very early in the morning, just because I do. I usually make the coffee & bring it back to bed & read. When the birds start chirping around sunrise, I know my quiet time is over & I'm ready to start my day, but I love that early morning time!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably prefer the fabric-it was funny because after I read your post the other day, I discovered that I do have some of her fabric. I collect vintage buttons & just recently bought a couple of her button prints.
My favourite moment of the day is right after lunch. Having a cup of coffee and just a short time to relax. Thanks for the give away!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is very late afternoon when it's getting dark--the light is soft and purple in the winter. It reminds me of cozy things and home and Christmas.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is first thing in the morning, sitting with a cup of coffee and reading the news and blogs from my iPad : )
ReplyDeleteI would love the fabric! Thanks for the chance.
I have 2 favorite times of day... just like many others, the early morning start is wonderful. peaceful. quiet. calm. then all hell breaks loose as my toddler wakes up and our puppy and our older dog try to steal her attention from each other. My other favorite time... 5:00PM. I love leaving work. I work with my husband so it's great to be able to ride together and spend a little extra time "alone" in each others company :) thanks so much for the giveaway. I'm definitely up for either!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is my early morning quiet time where I go through my devotional of the day and just spend time quietly sipping coffee before I have to hit the shower to get ready for work. I would love to win either of these giveaways. I am familiar with the quality of the Japanese fabric you have (I still have not been able to force myself to use the last FQ I bought!) and I love that book! Karin
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is when my son and I snuggle on the couch and read books before bed.
ReplyDeleteI'd love either the fabric or the book!
I love afternoon tea time the most in my day. I enjoy my delicate tea cup and the scent of green tea while doing some stitching.
ReplyDeleteI would like the book. Thank you~!
favorite time of day: The moment I get all the kids on the bus and the house is quiet and still. The book looks great and the fabric is tempting too.....can't decide. :/
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment is when my students leave for the day after having successful art classes and my son arrives back in my room. Everything is ready for the next day and I feel content thinking about all of the creative work that was accomplished in my room today. Thanks for the giveaway--I love books and fabric!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the great giveaway! I'd love to win either!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is just after my daughter goes to bed, when I can take a deep breath and RELAX! :-)

ReplyDeleteI would love the book! My favorite time is making lots of good food on the weekend with my boyfriend and then eating it with him! Thanks for this giveaway. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of any day is if I have a chance to be in my home, all by myself. Waiting for the rest of the family to come in with all their energy, I can relax, have a cup of tea, knit or read blogs/ravelry, and enjoy the quiet for a few minutes. Perfect time to look at fabric stash or a new book!
ReplyDeleteOoo...that book looks amazing! My favorite moment of the day is without a doubt when I put on my pj's!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment is when my kids get up and snuggle on either side of me and ask for a story. They are 6 and 8 and probably won't snuggle for too many more years so it feels really precious.
ReplyDeleteAll day is good for me but probably the best is dinner time! Apart from me always being hungry, its the only time of the day when I see my 2 teenage sons and the 21 year old all in one place. They even say more than a grunt which is their usual form of communication. My husband has always made it a point to be home with us and my 86 year old father in law also joins us. After dinner everyone just seems to disappear so for that scant half hour we are together.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite moment is in the evening when our whole family is together and we're talking, laughing and enjoying one another's company.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
My favourite moment is in the evening, when my kids go to bed and I have time to read some blogs (I'M A BIG FUN OF YOURS) and relax...

ReplyDeleteI would love to win the book or the fabric :)
My favorite moment is right before my twins nap because they get cuddly. So I love to sit on have my little two year olds (they grow so fast!!) on either side of me. Fills me with inspiration to make cute, sweet,cuddly things just like them while they nap !! :)
ReplyDeletemy favorite moment... gosh. I have to pick one!!?? When my kids help each other out. No sibling rivalry in our house! I am eternally grateful for that one.
ReplyDeleteI would love BOTH... but I'm really into that book I think.
: ) happy either way. I don't expect to win. mysweetprairie@gmail.com
Depends on the day and the moment - right now having VERY FEW as work is just too busy. I do love the moment when I step into my craft room with a plan ...but no terrifying deadline... !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity !
I really like this book! It´s so inspiring and now you know I´m interested in the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite moment of the day? Drinking my first hot coffee latte and reading a magazine or a craft book.

I think my favorite moment is when I'm in bed, before I turn out the light, when I get the chance to read all snuggled up in the covers. Thanks for a chance at such a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moments,... our little family "together" times: having dinner, taking baths, reading before bed, snuggling in the wee smalls of the day,...
ReplyDeletethe book is lovely!!
sequink(at)yahoo(dot)com
I wasn't familiar with Suzuko Koseki's fabrics before reading your post but I can see now why you are such an admirer! Thanks for introducing me to this awesome fabric designer...and now, of course, I'm totally in love with her fabric. Thanks for the chance to win some!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of the day is right at dawn before everyone and everything wakes up and the house is quiet - it just makes the day seem so full of lovely possibilities.
At this time of year I like the evening when I can light the fire and a couple of candles (and on a Wednesday I love to watch The Edwardian Farm here in the UK!)
ReplyDeleteGill

Karen
Today I went on a solo trip to London. :D It's my first time traveling alone, although London is only about 2 hours away by bus. My favourite moments are those "bad" things that always turn out to have many good things behind it. For instance, missing the 8:10 am bus, deciding not to go to the museum that I am writing about for an assignment because it was getting dark and the area could be unsafe... There are always reasons for things to happen the way they do. I also unexpectedly met a few lovely friends. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part of the day is when I can go downstair, in my new home's workshop, to craft to relax. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, what a great giveaway! I am very greedy and of course would love both the book and fabric, but mostly the book because I've never seen it here!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the day is when my head hits my pillow. I love going to bed. Life is too busy and I need more rest....I start thinking about my pillow right after dinner most nights, but don't get there for several hours. Thanks Ayumi!!
My favorite part of today was a five guys cheeseburger and fries. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of the day is in the evening, lying down on the sofa with my husband next to me, feeling my baby kicking inside my belly.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of day is early in the morning when I drink the first cup of coffee and listening the radio.I would love the book!

ReplyDeleteI have wanted this book for ages :) My favourite moment is first thing in the morning when I have some time to myself before the madness of the day starts!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite time of the day is when my little girl comes into my bedroom rubs her eyes and gives tuddles(cuddles) and says pup tea mummy(cup of tea mummy). l have been following your blog for quite a while now but have been desperate to leave a comment and this seems like a good time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of the day is coming home from work and thinking about all the fun things I could do in my evening, although I usually end up not doing half of them! I would love to win either the book or the fabric, thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of her until your post yesterday. What a lovely lady!

ReplyDeleteMy favourite moment of the day is when my 2 little girls sit on my lap and want me to read a book with them.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this with us..

It's so hard to pick just one time of day as my favourite... but I think playing and laughing on the bed in the morning with my wonderful hubby and our 2 year daughter. It is a great way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment is in the middle of the night when my three year old wakes up and climbs into bed with me, putting her arms around me and burying her head in my neck for the remainder of the night.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is when the kids go to sleep and I have some time to just breath and relax!!! The book looks wonderful. I haven't seen it before, so I'd love to be entered to win it! Have a fun trip!

ReplyDeletewould love either- the book looks great!!
My favorite is when the whole family sits down for dinner together and we each have a chance to share something about the day.
ReplyDeleteFavorite moment is watching my youngest son walk with confidence to high school. When he gets out of my car we smile at each other and I tell him to go kick-butt! He's a little shy and high school has been a challenge. Remember those days...so charged with emotion. Thank you for the give away chance. I'm going to buy the book, so the fabric would be wonderful. Thanks again.

Wow what a fab giveaway. I would love either if I am lucky enough to win. My favorite part of the day is just after work in the afternoon. I get home at 3pm and get out my material and sew. I am just doing a patchwork course so am very new to sewing but it is so addictive. Would be a fab prize for me. Don't have much material stash at the moment and the book looks amazing. Thank you. x
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory from today was lunch time since school and homework aren't so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win both!
looneylaina@comcast.net
Thanks for an awesome giveaway! I'd be happy with either book or material.
ReplyDeleteMy husband brings our sweet little boy into our bed early in the morning to read books and snuggle before he goes to work. My son will often wake me with hugs and kisses! It's wonderful!
So many cute projects in this book! I'd be happy to win either prize!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of today was finally getting out of a very boring class I had to take at work.
When I get home from work and have time to sew or read or just sit on the deck and have a spot of tea and watch the birds. Book or fabric doesn't matter, both are great. I love all your projects and tutorials, they are very well thought out and your images are perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the day is when I get my daughter in the morning from her crib and she is always so excited to see me! She's equally delighted every day to have me there and starts to show me all of her toys. It's precious.
ReplyDeleteAnd Book or fabric would be great...maybe a little more book...but that's just because I have less books than fabric. LOL.
My favorite part of today is coming home from a hard day's work and sitting in my sewing room. The man in my life just built me a sewing table and I find myself in this room more then any other room in my house.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment is reading my son a story before bedtime!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the morning glow of the sun reflecting shadows in the room:)
ReplyDeleteThe favorite moment of my day is really the night, the lovely quiet of the night. So precious.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of the day is the Morning, its so peaceful!!!

ReplyDeleteI would like the book
My favorite moment...sipping that first cup of coffee!
ReplyDeleteThe book looks fantastic!
Hello!!! Thank you for inviting ourselves to this beautiful drawing!! I like very much the mornings well early, to read, to study or to sew. Also to go out to walk. It would not be able choose between the fabrics or the book, I like both gifts!!! Here it is difficult to obtain these things!! A kiss!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment in the day is my super hot shower in the morning while the sun is rising - when I come out, the sky is usually some beautiful color that could never be captured! I'd love this book - I borrowed it from the library a while back and it immediately went on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, my favourite time is around 10am on weekdays. That's when I've had my morning coffee and am riding to work around the lake in the sunshine... lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is making a conneciton with a child through a book-to see the light of excitment over reading. Either would be wonderful I could not choose.

ReplyDeleteoh i have been wanting that book! my favorite moment of the day is when my three boys are sleeping. right before i go to bed i go give them each a kiss and re-tuck them in. there is nothing more heart melting than to see your babies fast asleep and innocent.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of day is when my kids get home from school, they walk home from school together by themselves (they are only 9 and 11 but they insist they are old enough and it's not far) and I always worry and watch the clock, so as soon as I see them coming I open the front door and they come running up yelling "mummy" and give me a big hug - can't beat that!!

My favourite time of the day is actually a month and time.. In Australia our summer holidays are in January and it can get very hot.. My kids are off school for 6 - 8 weeks..
ReplyDeleteIn the afternoon around dinner time the sun is setting. We all have a swim and then a BBQ. Best time of the day.

My favorite time of day is definitely the wee hours of the morning, even tho I don't see it much these days. There is just something so peaceful when the rest of those around you are fast asleep...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the day is storytime with my children. We snuggle under blankets, and look at a picture book. Then I read a "ears only" story while they settle in for naptime. I love this special pause in the busy-ness of the day, its a precious time of communion for us.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered in the drawing for book and fabric! I'm so drawn to the beautiful designs. Thanks so much! I read and enjoy your newsletter every time it comes in :0)
My favorite time of the day is when I am nearly done with my last class of the day and catch myself slipping off into a daydream of what project I want to start next.

Muito obrigada pela oportunidade de participar desse sorteio.
Querida Ayumills, conhecí seu blog recentemente. Sou seguidora e recebo atualização das postagens. Seu blog é fonte para meu aprendizado de patchwork. Admiro tudo que você produz. Não conhecia os tecidos especiais de SUZUCO KOSEKI, pois ainda estou iniciando no patchwork e só posso comprar tecidos daqui do BRASIL.
Deus lhe abençoe, proteja, ilumine e lhe dê muita saúde, paz, amor, felicidade, prosperidade, sucesso, e tudo de bom que você desejar.
Um abraço com muito e beijos no seu coração.

You are so sweet to do this giveaway! My favorite time of the day is the early morning after I've eaten breakfast and showered. As long as I'm not in a rush, it's nice to enjoy a few moments thinking about the possibilities of the new day! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment of the day is in the early morning when the sun is coming through the window above the headboard. My 5-month old is fascinated with the light coming through the shimmery curtains and is so playful and happy at that time...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of the day is when my son wakes me up. He gives me kisses before getting out of bed, it is heaven.
Oh my, what a lovely book! I'm a fabric fiend and I love creative books too...so either one would be lovely! Thanks for the chance.

My favorite moment is when I get up in the morning, for my first cup of coffee and it is quiet. Thank you for hosting the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteDear Ayumi, thank you for this wonderful giveaway idea! I shall be looking forward to the announcement of the winners, especially that November 21 is my birthday, and I believe people are very lucky on their birthdays.
ReplyDeleteI have two favorite moments of the day: the first is in the morning when I have my first cup of coffee and read all the crafty newsletters and blog comments in my mail, and the second is those few moments of twilight when you walk in the street and everything looks so different, so much more romantic than in the broad daylight.
thanks for such wonderful giveaway! i'm up to both of course!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite moment of the day is getting out of a hot bath tub and have a cup of cold milk in summer, or a glass of hot tea in winter!!!
Thanks for the give away. It looks like a wonderful book, full of inspiration. The fabric is great too. Hope you're doing well :) xo
ReplyDeleteoh, forgot to tell you the fav part of my day - finishing my workout, showering and sliding into bed for a 1 hour nap :) pure bliss.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of day is the evening after dinner. I know we've all been fed, and that since it's so late I've accomplished pretty much everything I'm going to get done that day, so that time is for me...for hanging out with the family, working on crafty projects, zoning on Youtube for a while, whatever I'm in the mood for. Lately we've been playing games as a family and I love that. I haven't seen this book before and I am in dire need of new fabric so I'm so excited for this giveaway! You can email me at Elizabeth_burr@yahoo.com too.
ReplyDeleteWould love to join this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite moment of the day is waking up each and every morning, watching my children sleep peacefully and smell their sweet breath. Every single day.
Heaven on earth =)
My favourite moment of the day is when I get up early in the morning and I can go for a walk in the silence of wood near home.
ReplyDeleteI would like the book, thank you for this fantastic giveaway
HI Ayumi, great giveaway...well my favourite time of the day would be in the afternoon when everyones's away at work and busy so no phones ringing, no bells at the door and I can sit with my cup of coffee and read, sew or just lie on the sofa and stare at the ceiling fan :) Its tough to choose between the fabric and the book but I'll go for the fabric. Much Love.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time of the day is any time I get to snuggle with my son and daughter to read a story. The fabric is fantastic, but I would love to win the book first to learn beautiful patchwork techniques. Thank you for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite moment would be right before bedtime, when I either knit or sew for awhile to unwind from the hectic day!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the fabrics!
Thanks , Ayumi-san!
