It's not often you get a "do over" in life, but as it's been two weeks since I announced the winners of the fabric for the Charmed Gift Bags and one of the two winners has not claimed her prize, we'll have exactly that--a do over. Another chance for you to win. Woo-hoo!
Seriously, originally I was going to do the giveaway anyway and then I stumbled upon the May Day Giveaway thing and thought "well why not?" But really, I prefer to have giveaways for those of you who are loyal readers rather than someone who's just hopping from blog to blog, hoping to win something. That's why I never ask you to blog about my giveaways or do anything else to attract new readers to my blog. Of course, that's not to say I don't love new readers! I DO! But you know--having someone pop in and comment for a chance to win and then never come back again? Not anything I strive for here. So this one's just for you--shhhhh! Don't tell anyone!
In an effort to throw everyone else in Blogland off, I did an Yahoo image search for "the most boring thing in the world," because you know some bloggers have those things in their sidebars that show who's posted recently and a copy of a photo from their blog post. So I figured a photo of "the most boring thing in the world" would probably keep random blog readers away. Funny what came up though. Mariah Carey and jury duty!
So now no one will know I'm having a giveaway except you, and it will be our secret, okay?
Okay, just to refresh your memory, here's the fabric you'll win if your name is drawn:
And that fabric will make about three of these:
Of course, you're welcome to make whatever you want with it--it's approximately 1/4 yard of each fabric.
And also to refresh your memory, the pattern I used for the Charmed Gift Bags is by Kim Walus and can be found at the Moda Bake Shop HERE.
So leave me a comment telling me you want to be entered, and I'll draw a winner Saturday night; then, come back on Sunday to see if you've won. Good luck!
COMMENTS CLOSED--WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED!

Bahahahahahaha.....love your thinking! I must admit I was wondering about the significance of the pic in my sidebar! I agree with your sentiments re giveaways! As much as I would love to enter this time...please don't put me in the draw...I have WAY too much fabric now....and have only just found a home for it all in my new house.....how cute are the little baskets...I think I could make about a thousand of those and maybe use up part of my stash...LOL....Good luck with the cleaning...and glad you are sleeping better...hope that continues!
I would love to be entered. Not too much fbric yet. Not sure when it is too much.
Pretty fabrics. Please throw my name in the pot!
I would love to be entered in the giveaway. I've never seen Mariah when I have done jury duty I seem to get called twice a year. Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for the chance to win Kim.
I never blog my giveaways either Kim - I agree with you all the way. Lovely fabrics. I can't believe they haven't been claimed -maybe not a regular reader xx
Yay another choice, woohoo, I will have to cross my fingers a bit tighter this time :)
ohhh lucky us... "a no call, no show!" Please count me in on this "do over." I liked them the first time and still find them adorable and your choice of fabrics is always outstanding!!!
Count me in - not too much fabric here. Especially cute stuff like this! Enjoy your non-giveaway!

Enter me!!! Love the fabrics.
Yay for second chances! Count me IN! Thanks, Kim!!
Please count me in ,Kim. Love your fabric and so enjoy reading about all the neat things that you do with Gran. Have a great day.

When I saw the Jury Duty pic and Do Over, I thought you don't need another jury call with everything else that is going on in your life. Glad it for another chance at winning the fabric for the cute little bags. Good luck with your hand surgery.

Nothing like a second chance! maybe my luck has changed :_)
Thanks for the do-over, Kim! I'd love to be entered....
Thanks for the chance in your do over. My stash is going down I have made three quilts in the last month.
Although your blog is one I read daily, I almost feel guilty for entering because I don't comment often enough...but not that guilty, because fabric is my drug of choice and I'm so addicted!
Please enter me in the drawing for the fabric. I figure if I can't make it to California for one of your classes the next best thing would be to make a bag like your students received.
Love your blog and would love to meet you...hope I win...please enter my name.

doo, doo, dooo(over), looking out my back door.
Oh sorry, you caught me singing again, lol.
I'm not your average lurker, I'm your textile dysfunctionate!
Hugs~
Kim,
Since I couldn't make your class I would love to win the fabric. Please put me in the drawing.
I know what you mean about pop in readers...I think I like better just having people who read my blog, more or less regularly, then everyone and their sister following etc for a giveaway.
Yay!! I would love to be entered again because this fabric grabs me every time I see it and I need it! :) HeeHee!
Thank you!!
Don't put me in the drawing, but just wanted to leave a comment that I'm a loyal reader! Have coffee with you every single morning! :)
Thats a funny pic! Mariah and jury duty! Ya, right! I'd love to win the fabric! Throw my name in the hat.
What a lucky day for us regular followers! Those bags are so cute.
Yup, I still think those are ridiculously adorable fabrics!
Oh yes, yes, yes! WOOHOO! Please enter me tooooooo!
I missed it the first time....woohoo, a second chance. :)
Ah ha! Good way to draw the lurkers like me out into the open! Well, here I am admitting I am a fabric addict - thank goodness only your readers will read my confession! Thanks for another chance :)
Yeah for "do overs"!
Tried commenting, and apparently it didn't post? But love the fabric and would love to be entered.
I can't believe I get another chance to win these lovely fabrics. Thanks! I also do my giveaways only for 'already' followers.
I'm definitely a regular reader, and I would love another opportunity to win the fabric, and I would use it to make the cute bags that you made!
Kim, that is too funny...the pic I mean.
I'd love to win those fabrics...I've got to get busy making things for Christmas presents...you know!
Oh, I want to win!LOL! I loved this fabric and your bags the first time around and love having a chance again to try to win it! What does it say about our world that Mariah Cary comes up as most boring?? LOL!
I would love to be entered in your fabric give away! Love the bag!!
Andra
I'll give this a second shot, too. Thanks Kim!!
Thanks Kim, for another chance to win! You know I love your blog, patterns and the one class I was fortunate enough to take with you.
Thanks for the do-over. We don't get enough of those in life. Hilarious boring picture! Thanks....have a nice weekend. Hope hubby is feeling better. Piece....
Love the fabrics, they would have a good home and be well cared for.:)
I like do-overs! Please throw me in again too. And thanks for the giggles abt Mariah. ;-)
I would love to enter your giveaway!!! Love the fabrics and the cute little bags.
thanks for the chance.
Pam
Pick ME! Pick ME! :-)
you are too funny! sly!
I love it!
I'm sorry the winner didn't claim her prize but I'll be less sorry if I win it :)
Hi Kim,
I would love to be entered to win your fabric. That would be my lucky day to win. If we share fabric, does that mean we are related??
Best wishes, stay well.
Stephani
Please enter me in the giveaway. Like some others I read your blog everyday but am not a big commenter. I guess I wonder if anyone is really interested in what I have to say.
Linda
Ohhh I'm Soooo in....I love this fabric!! Imagine not claiming it!! OR worse not coming back to read that you had won!! Have a good one and thanks for another chance at the GA!!
Paulette

Thanks!

I love do-overs. Thanks for the chance.
I feel very guilty saying I want to be entered, since I won something from you last week. But I just can't resist the cute bag made with the cute fabric!
Would love to be entered. Cute bags!
cool beans! pick me! :) xoxo melzie
please pick me for the drawing!!
barba
gotta love this kind of "do over"! Sweet bags!
Hi Kim...
I would love to be added to your give-away! I read your blog all the time and wanted to tell you after reading a past post that I sympathize with your husband...I also have Meniere's...it's no fun! So let him know that he's not alone...he has fellow spinner out here...glad to hear he can still do fun things with your son.
Thanks, Mary
I would love to win your give-away. As I said before, anything from you would be a wonderful gift as you are my inspiration! You always seem to do the coolest things with a pattern and/or a simple block...like the wool pattern - not just a rabbit but a really cool RABBIT!! and your schnibbles quilts are over the top - so creative. I'm buttering you up but I do so because it is all true! Thanks Kim!
OOOhhh how cute! I love that fabric. I am a regular reader - just rarely comment.
I have not had enough tea this morning... I got really confused from my 'reading list" then clicking on the Jury Duty picture and then to here! I get it now! you are so clever! So I would love to be entered into your drawing this week and I actually would love to make those adorable bags with the fabric too! Kim's pattern is so cute!
Please include me in the contest. I have already printed the pattern!!!

Oh, a little MC handling the entertainment for the boring giveaway, LOL!
Yes, please, enter me to win that beautiful fabric :)
I admit that I found your blog because of the May giveaways, but I have been coming back to see what you were up to! thanks for another chance to win!
I have been wanting to make those little bags for so long. They just haven't made it to the top of the to-do list yet. Winning the fabric would be the best incentive! Thanks for the chance to win.
I read everyday...so that makes me loyal...
And I'm BORING... So that should get me a second entry... right?
Would love a chance to make 3 of those cute little bags..
my word verification - equeness - noun...the state of being able to use EQ...ha ha
trying again to win that cute fabric. I never did find a suitable solution to the tote bag 'bottom' that I asked you about. And the shipping from the company you sent was much more than i was willing to pay. So still searching......
I read all your posts so I am a regular,LOL! Would love to win.
I didn't think it was possible, but these bags are even cuter the second time around! Please enter me in the giveaway.
Would love to win! :)
Sydney
Well, it's too bad so sad for them because I want to win these. They are terrific. Love the bags.
Yeah, right like she is going to do jury duty....
Chris
Hey Luv - Interesting that you found the Jury Duty picture since I posted a cartoon of my jury duty experience yesterday. I bet we were doing our posting at the same time.....
Passing on the giveaway - I have my very own special one that you made for class- THANKS!
Yay multi-entering! I'd love an entry :)
I would love to be entered into the giveaway! I think it is great to have one for just your followers :-) Love your blog!
I would LOVE to be entered!

I'd love a second chance at more fabric. I'm here every day, but when I saw that photo on someone's sidebar, I figured you got called for jury duty. I've been called twice, and I would't say it was boring--I'd call it gut wrenching.
I'm a daily reader of your blog. It's a great way to start the day. Those little bags are on my list of things to make this summer. I would love to win the fabric!
I love reading your blog everyday and would love a chance to win some fabric! Sign me up, please.
Kim, please enter me in your giveaway. I don't comment a lot, but I read your blog every single day. I don't feel like my day is complete without reading about yours. (grin) Have a wonderful weekend. Winona
Thank you for the chance on the do over. I am a loyal follower. I find you very interesting. Right after you posted the first time about the Charmed Gift Bags, I got the pattern and made a couple. I think they are cute. Would love to win, but just happy to comment.
Lol! Jury duty MUST be the most boring thing in the world, because people are always trying to avoid it!!! And as for Mariah Carey..... she's a celeb. Nuff said! I would love to have your stuff!
I'd love another chance to win this fabric!
And there's really not much that could be more boring than jury duty.. even with Mariah Carey. I guess getting put on a jury might be interesting, but I've never made it that far.
I love your bags and I'm a big fan of ME fabric. Please enter me your drawing. When I saw your blog title I thought you were picked for Jury Duty again.
Clever girl :-) I'd love to be entered!
Oh, and I am a loyal follower ;-D
Hi Kim -- I printed out the pattern when you had your first giveaway also! Please include me in your drawing -- thanks! Florence
That is cute fabric. Thanks for the chance to win.
Please enter me for your giveaway! Maybe you will choose me this time!!!
I would like to be entered in your "do over".
I check out your blog - pretty much daily....and i love your comment about blog-hoppers...for the purpose of winning something. I've seen it many times. i have several blogs bookmarked ~ which i spend almost an hour with every day, reading their news, and comments. BUT when it comes to a give away; there's suddenly 4 times as many comments. hm....
anyway, love your blog...the fabric (give away) is lovely and i have just the place to use it!!
i'm hopeful!!
xo

Your bags are so darned cute and they stand up so well -- mine, not so much. Love that black fabric with the flowers and I adore polka-dots.
Kim

Oh how pretty ... please put my name in the hat and tks so much :)
I have been quilting for about 20 years (and I feel like I am too young to say that!) It has only been recently that I thought to look for inspiration on quilt blogs. I happened upon yours and bookmarked it even before I read about this give away. I have to say, I absolutely LOVE you sense of humor! The most boring thing in the world is priceless! Thank you for this opportunity and I plan to come back often.
I would love a chance to win! The fabric would really make such cute bags!
Micki
