Wow is it time already to have a SMS Giveaway? It seems to creep up on me each time, well I am distracted. Good thing I was planning to do a giveaway already and have things ready. Not to distract from Sew Mama Sew giveaway day, but tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY! I have decided I stopped aging at 40. I wont tell you how old I am, but I have been this age for 5 years now.
Any way who cares about B-day and who what ever other reason we want to have a giveaway, lets just get on with it. Our giveaway consists of a ruler, mat, cutting knife, and 8 fat quarters.
So what do you have to do to enter? Simple, tell me what you did (or would do) on your 45th B-day! As for me, my 18 year old son is taking me to lunch and a movie. If that is not enough for a B-day what should I do or should have done (if you enter after my b-day passes). Giveaway is open tell may 18th as per the guidelines of SMS.
For those of you that have not just skipped to the bottom,I have extra prizes available if you want to give a little effort too it. I sell a few patterns on Craftsy If you visit craftsy and leave a nice comment on any of my patterns (and leave a extra comment for a bonus entry into our giveaway) I will email you the pattern of your choice. Windows Quilt, Rag Quilt, Diagonal Quilt, and Pinwheel Quilt are some of the more popular, but there are many others. Each comment on Craftsy (and here) gives you a extra entry and a free pattern.
After getting done here, you can find more giveaways on the listing at Sew Mama Sew Site where there are fabric and product giveaways.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 442 Newer› Newest»I spent my 45th birthday with my sister - the first we had been together on my birthday since 1 was 11
Probably I would go to a great restaurant - and whatever I will do, it will include a chocolate cake!
Great giveaway :) Thanks!
Happy Birthday. I would ask everyone to bring 45 things that remind them of me. It might be 45 different things or 45 of the same things.
For you I would bring 45 quilt pins or 45 feet of thread - something like that.
I have a couple of years until I get there but I would love to be in NY, mining for Herkimer 'Diamonds' for my 45th!
I commented on your Color Blast Quilt Pattern. It's so pretty!~
I think you're right- time with kids (especially teenagers!) would be the best.
Happy birthday Richard! I hit 45 earlier this year myself. My big present to myself for my bday and mother's day is to spend a week making for ME instead of others. Putting myself first for a change. Thanks!
Happy Birthday!! Mine must not have been a very memorial birthday as I don't remember!! :) Your giveaway is very generous…..thank you!
Happy Birthday- I'm closer to your son's age so I have no idea what I will be into by then, but my ideal birthday consists of pizza, time to sew and maybe a film or seeing a friend for a couple of beers, and definitely not a party!
Happy birthday! I hope you have fun at the movies!! It sounds great to me!
I commented on your beautiful rag quilt pattern!
I commented on your diagonal quilt pattern! I love it!
I commented on your half square triangle quilt pattern on Craftsy!

I commented on your 4 easy table runners pattern!
I commented on your 25 square quilt pattern!
My 45th birthday is 15 years away. As mom with two young children, I never get to go shopping my myself. So right now I think that would be great way to celebrate. 2 hours alone in a craft store.
I commented on your rag quilt. Such a cute quilt.
Happy birthday! I'd probably go out for dinner with my family.
45! Ahh, those were the days. Lunch and a movie sounds great to me.
I need 20more years to turn 45 so.. Thank you very much for the nice giveaway!
Happy Birthday! Spend it how YOU want to, not what other people want you to do. I try for quiet time, working on one of my projects.

Happy birthday!!! Next year is my 40th and I'm thinking I should go to QuiltCon in Austin to celebrate! A big celebration for a big birthday!
Let's see for my 45th birthday I hope to take myself out to lunch and pamper myself. It's been my tradition since I started working. I always take the day off and go do whatever I want to do. :)
I commented on your chevron pattern.
I commented on your Color Blast pattern.
I commented on your plus plus pattern.
I commented on your orange and gray helix pattern.
Have a big family reunion with all the kids and grandkids!
I think when I turn 45 I would like to go on a really nice vacation somewhere exotic.
I hope you had a great birthday! On my 45th birthday, I ran a marathon and then the day after, my kids and I went on vacation. It was truly a once in a lifetime week!! Enjoy yours!
I commented on your plus quilt!
I posted on your triangles out of Ticklish as well as the John Deere quilt - your quilts are great!
I think you should get to go to Disneyland on your birthday (that's my favorite place :))
I am 61 now so I don't really remember turning 45. I guess as always my husband and I went out to eat because his birthday is 2 days before mine, so we celebrate together.

I'm 46 and am totally loving my 40s. For my 45th I think I just did lunch with my husband and girls. Hope you have a fun day!
I left a comment on the awesome sword...my daughter will love it!
I also left a comment on the rag quilt. Thanks!
On my 45th birthday I'd like to either climb a (small) mountain or go caving. I grew up doing those things with my dad, but haven't had a chance in several years since my kids are still small.
Hi Richard. Love your windows quilt.
i celebrated my 45 B'day with my daughter. She turned 14 the same day... Great give away. Thanks so much for sharing
Hmm I’ve got 20 years to go but I’d have to say cake! Always good for any birthday :)
Well I'm right there behind you on the 4# birthday. The only thing that I might add to your celebration is a trip to the bookstore, course I prefer to do that by myself otherwise I get rushed. Have a happy day.
just in case: m3reyna at gmail dot com
Staying at a B&B for a long weekend in my favorite wine growing region - Paso Robles, CA!
I commented on the chevron baby quilt. Thanks!
Happy Happy Birthday Smcalli102@aol.com
Ha! I love that you've been that age 'for five years now'! I think I'll start using that line. Hope your bday was a good one!
I've commented on the lovely Window Quilt.
Whenever possible, I always go for the "lunch out" option to celebrate my birthday! Once you amass another 5 birthdays, you are eligible to celebrate each birthday for a calendar month - makes it worth it to get older!
My husband took me to Portugal for my 45th birthday!
I commented on your pinwheels pattern
I like the windows quilt! Very nice :D
Spending time with my family on my birthday would be the best!
Very generous giveaway, thanks so much!
I'm still quite some years away from 45, so hard to say what I'd do. Maybe my toddler son (who'll be 20 by then) could throw me a great party for once? ;)
I also commented on the Half Triangle Square pattern, it was honestly hard to pick one favourite!
Happy birthday...have lots of cake!
Happy Bday. Sorry but I don't remember my 45th, heck, I don't remember lmy last one .my next one is less tha a week away, the 20th.
I love your windows quilt. Very nice and easy to personalize using different fabric.
The fabric choice and pattern in the Chevron quilt are really awesome! I checked you out on Craftsy - I love that place.
I ate birthday cake on my 45th birthday.
I have a 2 more years until I hit 45, but I usually have the best time just hanging out with family and friends in our backyard, swimming, having a cocktail or two and some yummy food! Oh and some ice cream!!
I really like your Color Blast quilt. I left a comment for you! Thanks!!
I commented on your Chevron Baby Quilt. That one looks like a lot of fun to do! Thanks!
I honestly can't remember what I did for my 45th birthday--I'm sure my husband made me a nice dinner, because that's what he does every birthday. :-)
I would like to take a trip for my birthday. Thanks for the chance
I commented on your Diagonal quilt.
Happy Birthday! For my 45th birthday I got to take a trip to Las Vegas. Lots of fun even without much gambling.
Happy birthday and thanks for the giveaway!
I have no idea what I'll be doing, but hopefully spending it with friends and family!
Honestly, I can't remember something that long ago in the past! I would guess that my kids took me to dinner...they almost always did when they were home!
Happy Birthday Richard.
Happy Birthday!!!! for my 45th B-day....our 2 older girls made me the coooolest Merry-go-round cake!! Was sooo beautiful...& Yummy!! lol
Happy Birthday! I'm not there yet but I am hoping my daughters will do something fun for me as well. blackflowersacidrain(at)gmail(dot)com
I'd travel ! Even an overnight to a nearby-ish location that I've always wanted to spend the day in. Travel is always good !
Happy Birthday! I tend to ignore my birthday too, I just turned 46! My 45th birthday I really didn't do anything, I'm lucky if my son calls, lol! This year though I had a blast going to a fabric shop and then the Cheesecake Factory. They have excellent food and great coffee! Thanks for the giveaway!

I really loved your pinwheel quilt, so pretty! I'm new and tried one similar on my own and it came out sonny! I liked the borders, it gave some extra interest. Thanks
tdkcarpenoctem@hotmail.com
Your diagonal quilt was nice and I might even have the same colors on hand to make one, yeah! Loved the rag quilt to, I would love to try one of these sometime. Thanks
tdkcarpenoctem@hotmail.com
On my 45th...that sounds like vacation time! :)
Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
I commented on your Chevron baby quilt on Craftsy. :)
I would love to go on my own quilt shop hop. Wouldn't that be amazing?:)
Happy 40th birthday! :) again. I hope when i start turning 40 repeatedly i will still be doing the same thing i do every year for my birthday. Ever year i grill everything imaginable, bake myself a cake and have friends and family over to play board games or hang out.
Happiest Birthday! I think it should be spent on an exotic beach somewhere with oceanside food service.
Happy Birthday! I'm only 30 ... I think dinner and a movie with your son is a great birthday celebration tho. I'm all about something special on a bday but it doesn't have to be over the top.
Thank you for such a fabulous giveaway. I hope your birthday is just as fabulous. On my 45th bday I went on a hot air balloon ride! So fun!
I love the chevron baby quilt in your shop!! Commented over there (CLee)
Happy Birthday! I have a few years until I celebrate 45 but as my birthday is in the summer, I think I will spend the day at the beach.

Hi Richard- what a great giveaway- I commented on craftsy (about the color blast quilt)- Thanks so much for this great giveaway!
Lunch and movie sounds great to me. I'd take it over adrenaline birthday celebrations any day! Hope you had some time to sew, create, or write whatever YOU wanted to work on. My birthdays are always celebrated by a voucher of uninterrupted sewing time:) Hope you had a happy one, Richard, and have the best year yet!!
I commented on the baby chevron pattern. So great!
And I couldn't resist, I commented on the color blast quilt. Great design….looking complicated but for beginners….genius!
I haven't reached 45 yet, but I've found that big birthdays are much easier if you have something wonderful planned. Your plans sound great!
Happy Birthday to you. I really don't remember what I did to celebrate. I have had so many bithdays since then. I am now enjoy old age and all the benefits you are now entitled to. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway. You really have a nice giveaway to offer. Supplies and fat quarters. It's the little things that count.

I'm not quite there yet, but for my last birthday, I went tree climbing and zip-lining! It was amazing :)
Happy birthday! :)
I'm a little more than a decade away from hitting 45 (God willing) and I just realized that my youngest will be 19 years old at that time, so I think my husband should take me on a nice vacation. Maybe Hawaii or the Bahamas? Happy birthday! wonderlandbyalyce(at)gmail(dot)com
I've got 20 years to plan that birthday party!
thanks!
emmevon(at)gmail(dot)com
Happy Birthday! Didn't do anything special on my 45th birthday. I would love to have someone conjure up a really special day for me with all decisions made.
for any birthday I make sure to get some alone time, time with family and treat myself! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I have like 13 years to go so I am not positive but wil most likely spen it with family. Who better is there to celebrate with.
I'm 28. I get scared just thinking of turning 30. If I make it to 45, I think I will have an "I haven't died yet!" party (long medical story behind that one; it's not awful, but it isn't pretty).

One more - I hope this is okay? I commented on the Half Square Triangle Quilt. I got scared of triangles with a double pinwheel, but this looks like a good alternative to try!
jhunsberger (at) gmail (dot) com
My husband and I have the same birthday, and my 45th also happened to land on Father's Day, so the kids and I got Dunkin' Donuts for him, and then we all spent the day working at our church's annual Strawberry Festival.
We celebrate birthday week and I get the week off with my husband and daughter waiting on me.
Happy belated Birthday! My request on all birthdays is to pull out the board games and play all day and eat dip and chip.
I think for my 45th, I'd enjoy the family time, but I'd also do something selfish! Spend an hour reading a book, going for a mani-pedi, going for a massage. It sounds like a nice combo of "precious family/friends" and also celebrating yourself!
elizabeth.waligora at gmail.com
Oh, and I commented on the 25 Squared quilt pattern as blue_stre3887666. And I do love the gray/orange, even though I normally dislike orange with an intense feeling! Congrats, it overcame its orange! ;)
elizabeth.waligora at gmail.com
A given would be that I got taken out to dinner. But I do not remember where!
Well that is 10 years from now so I am just hoping to make it there now. Happy Birthday and thanks for the giveaway!
Hopefully I'll be having a lovely long lie-in on my 45th!
dink_kelly at yahoo dot com
I don't know what I'll do on my 45th... as that is quite a few years away. But will probably go out to dinner so I don't have to cook. :) Happy Birthday to you!!!
Hi Richard! I stopped at Craftsy (Im Reinadelanoche there) and left a comment on your Plus Plus pattern. I really want to make that one! Thanks for the giveaway!
Happy Birthday!
Can't remember for sure, but most likely my husband took me out for dinner and made a cake-probably with a kid's help.
Love to quilt and plan to do it on my birthday!! Hope yours s as much fun!!
My 45th was so long ago that I can't possibly remember what I did. I hope you had a wonderful day and that it involved hugs from all your family and some great dessert.
I commented on the Orange and Grey Helix pattern
Great giveaway!!
At 45, my kids will be 19 and 15....I think a vacation....maybe without them! Or someplace fun as a family. Have a happy birthday however you celebrate!
happy birthday!
45th is not too far away for me, but all my littles are much littler.
I just enjoy a day of appreciation and I'm happy.
I super nice, indulgent meal out is always a good way to celebrate...Happy Birthday!
jgemeroy(at)gmail(dot)com
Happy Birthday! I'm not there yet but I would recommend going for Afternoon Tea, it's my favourite treat with family!
I try not to plan too far in advance, but when I turn 45 I hope it has something to do with Bora Bora or Tahiti. (nibblet42@aol.com)
Happy birthday. I am coming up on the 19th anniversary of my 35th birthday. It's okay to hold on a birthday.
Do something fun with your family. Let the children decorate cupcakes for you or design a song to sing for you or do a hand craft for you.
I like your Windows quilt pattern for my charity quilts.
Happy birthday! I don't know what I would do, but relaxing and eating dessert is always a win for me!
Spending time with your son for your birthday sounds great if that's what you like to do :)
Loved and commented on your Orange and Gray Helix pattern
I hope you had a very Happy Birthday! I would probably like to spend the day sewing then have a nice meal with my family :) Perfect!
I would just relax with friends and family.
Well I am not quite there yet but I think at that point will my children all moving on in life I would really like for all my family to be home at least for a meal! :-)

I'd visit New York and have cocktails and fancy dinners.
Hmmmm - I hope I go out with all my friends for karaoke when I turn 45! Thanks for the chance.
Hmmmm - I hope I go out with all my friends for karaoke when I turn 45! Thanks for the chance.
Happy birthday to you. I think your movie and dinner outing is fun. I would also suggest going go carting or to one of those centers with laser tag or something like that.
Happy Belated birthday Richard - hope you had a good one. I think lunch and a movie with your son is a great way to celebrate and I am sure it was fabulous. I don't recall my 45th but when I was 50 I wanted to do something I had never done that was outrageous - and so I went to Las Vegas with my main squeeze! We had a great time and I felt it was a great birthday celebration.
Thanks for such a great giveaway opp

Your windows quilt is fabulous and I am gonna have to put that on my list of quilts that I want to make - it looks complex and yet I think it will not be too difficult to make. thanks for the extra chance

Another winner of a quilt is your Color Blast quilt - turning the pieced blocks on point is such a nice twist - and I like the colored corner stones in the sashing too. Great quilt.

well, I have a few years to go, but since it is in the winter, I would love to go xc skiing on my 45th birthday.
I haven't reached 45 yet, but I like having friends over for dinner for my birthday.
Happy Birthday, Richard! Since my 45th was a couple of years ago (I wish!), I really don't remember anything significant about the day. :(
I do think cake and ice cream are a MUST though! ;)
My 45th was long years ago...can't remember a thing we did to celebrate! LOL! But I was given a surprise 60th birthday gathering....that i remember! It was very fun!
Gah, on my 45th birthday my (now 17-month-old) son will be nearly a teenager! I think I will count it a good day as long as he is willing to celebrate with me.
Hmmm I just turned 30 at the beginning of the month and that was a lot to tkae in.. I'm not sure about 45. A movie and lunch sounds great though! I hope you had a great day!
Thumbs up for your craftsy patterns....
Make it memorable, whatever you do to celebrate and share your special day with people who love you and make it a special occasion!!
Happy birthday!
newgirl42889@aol.com
Hello, I do not have B-days, after 29 there is only anniversarys..... But you can enjoy being with those you love and that is good.....I follow you on Craftsy....
Happy Birthday! I would have no clue what to do, but hopefully I would have some friends and family with me to celebrate
I can't believe it, but I can't remember 45! Thank you for the great giveaway and the depressing question. Happy birthday!
I commented on the PlusPlus quilt. Wouldn't it be fun for a math major?
It was only 3 yrs ago, but sadly I do not remember!
Perhaps it involved alcohol?
I would actually kick everyone out of the house so I can have some quiet time to sew. :)
Hard choice, but I commented on the Windows Quilt. I think it could make a good ISpy.
Thank you, and I wish you a memorable Bday!
I was in the hospital, recovering from a stroke. I was learning how to write and walk again. I am so thankful I can do both again. Happy
Birthday to you! Thanks for the chance to win!
Hrm, I think I would go out to dinner with my hubby and then maybe have a girls night out too!
I commented on your chevron baby quilt pattern
I commented on your diagonal quilt pattern
I commented on 25 Squared. I love the dramatic impact of that quilt! Thanks for sharing!
I think getting together with friends and family is a good way to go about things. But I'm not a big partier.
Hi Richard! Happy Birthday! I honestly can't remember how I celebrated my 45th birthday because that was 10 years ago! But your celebration sounds nice. Thanks for the great giveaway. We can all use more tools and fabric! And thanks for your inspiring blog! I really like your pinwheel quilt with the scrappy border.
I commented on your diagonal quilt.. beautiful!
I don't know what I would do for my 45th birthday... I'll be having my 30th later this year and don't even know what I will do for that!
• • • I spent the day quilting as usual. Thank you for sharing!
I think when I turn 45, I'd like to plan a nice weekend away somewhere. Nothing crazy, just a quick trip within driving distance.
Happy Birthday! I think I would just go out for a nice meal with my hubby and kids, and spend the rest of the day relaxing and puttering around the house doing the things I love!
Happy Birthday!! Hope you have the best year ever! But to be honest with you, it has been so long since my 45th, I don't remember. My birthday is In Halloween so I am going to guess answer the door to trick or treaters.
I commented on Craftsy on your beautiful window quilt.
I'd take a trip to India!
I love and commented on Plus Plus!
Happy Birthday! I just turned 33. I can't imagine where I'll be when I'm 45. I'm not really big on celebrating so I guess I'll just say spend some time with family/friends.
Spend the day at a Spa and have a family dinner. Thanks for the chance!
45th birthday is still in the future for me. but i'm sure we'll be all going out for dinner with the family, as we're doing now.
I have no idea what I did my 45th but most likely dinner made my the kids and my hubby! Great Giveaway!
Some great patterns over in Craftsy! Thanks for the chances!
Happy belated birthday. I like to go see a play for my birthday.
I've just had my 40th, so not sure I can contemplate what I'd do on my 45th yet! A good meal out with my husband is usually top of my list
My 45th was 6 months ago and I can't remember what I did.....that is NOT a good sign.
I hope you had cake and an ice cream sundae!
I would celebrate it with my kids :) Thanks for a chance to win! julia(dot)glotova(at)gmail(dot)com
Lunch and a movie sounds good.
Hmm, that was 8 years ago. I honestly can't remember, but I'm sure I was with my family :) Happy Birthday to you and enjoy your lunch!
Happy Birthday! Lunch with my boys!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I'm coming up on my 5th anniv of my 40th birthday in a couple of months :). Nothing special planned. I'm hoping I can send my family away for a couple hours to have some uninterrupted crafting time.
I left a comment on that beautiful Orange & Gray Helix pattern. Love the color combo and layout. Thanks!
45? I called my twin and taunted her about turning 45 22 minutes before me. : ) Ha! Take that, Babs!
I would definitely eat ice cream! Hope you had a great day! :)
I'm only 36, but for my 45th I would love to take a vacation to a tropical destination!

Happy Birthday! I LOVE to celebrate birthday's! I haven't quite reached my 45th yet...but I do wear an amazing crown every year on my birthday - EVERYWHERE I go! It's made of twigs and flowers - and it definitely gets me odd looks...especially at the gym. Whatever you do - celebrate it! There's nothing you can do about getting older so you might as well enjoy it when you can! thanks or the great giveaway! lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com
Hey there Richard Happy Birhtday!!
Thanks for taking part in the Giveaway Day. You put a great package to share with someone. Thank you for that chance to win.
For my 45th (in a couple years)I would love to have all the fabrics that I need for my Baltimore Style Quilt that I plan to start on that day. I might get a night off from cooking and possible phones calls from my kids.
In Kind Regards,
Tricia of Mid-MI.
