And the winner is…
Can you believe it? The National Sewing Month 2014 Grand Prize Giveaway is finally closed. It’s been quite a ride, hasn’t it? From beginning to end we’ve had unbelievable projects from bloggers and companies alike (If you’re like, “What projects are you talking about, Seams and Scissors?” please see here.)
Throughout the month readers could comment on daily blog posts to win an awesome prize as well as enter to win our National Sewing Month 2014 Grand Prize Giveaway. Made up of prizes from esteemed companies that included BERNINA, American Quilter’s Society, Simplicity Creative Group, Sizzix, Fairfield, and Coats & Clark, this huge package totaled a value of $2000.
(In case you’re wondering, yes it is extremely hard to work in an office surrounded by quality crafting products and not be eligible to enter the contest.)
So, who won this treasure trove? Please give a big congratulations to…
No one!
JUST KIDDING. That was horrible. The winner is Debra de Shazor!
Congratulations, Debra! We are extremely happy that you won the National Sewing Month 2014 Grand Prize Giveaway (as well as slightly envious)! Please expect to hear from us via email and we will explain how all of your prizes will reach you.

With the close of National Sewing Month 2014 we are feeling pretty bummed. What will occupy us now?
Silly geese, here at Seams and Scissors there’s always a party going on. To keep our spirits up after the blissful merrymaking of every sewist’s favorite month, we’re celebrating October with our Hands-on-Heart Breast Cancer Pillow Drive! Now this is something to get excited about. Details are all here.
But before we do we’ve got to know (because this is how we think),
Does a “Grand Prize” have to include a sewing machine?

well not really but it sure is nice if it does! Especially one as nice as a Bernina!!!!
No…but it would be nice!
Not at all, but I Love dreaming about the possibility of a new Bernina! Lol.
No but if not a sewing machine it would need to be something else we sewers usually have on our wish list.
No but who couldn’t use another sewing machine??
No, but its a great addition!
We all would love a sewing machine! But I loved all the post for National Sewing Month!!
no I like winning all the extras
Now I’m crying. LOL
I wouldn’t be upset if every prize included a sewing machine, not just the grand prize. Either somebody made a lot of typos on my name as the winner of the machine, or else I have to say Congrats Debra!
Thank you for the congrats. I know Bernina last a very long time and pays for itself. I hope they give another one away. Hope you win one too!
Congratulations Debra! If for some reason she doesn’t reply, I would like to say next
;-D
Thanks!
Congratulations Debra!
I wouldn’t be disappointed if all contests did not have the grand prize of a sewing machine, even though everyone (including me) sure would like to win one. To make the contest more interesting I think it would be wonderful If the sponsors could support a second and third prize as well. Perhaps the giveaway could be structured something like this: GRAND PRIZE: Sewing machine or Serger; SECOND PLACE: Sewing accessories such as scissors, external bobbin winders, or craft storage; and,
THIRD PLACE: Sewing notions such as thread, patterns, or material.
Love that idea too. Thanks.
I love it when it includes a sewing machine! I was excited about the possibility of winning a Bernina!
Any prizes are always welcome, but a machine as nice as a Bernina certainly sweetens the deal!
Hello Folks,
I really like this site as the projects are and the participants are entertaining.
I think all prizes should consist of a sewing machine also with a pattern and Fantastic Fabric.
It is always great to win yet it is still fun to enter.
Thank you,
Susan
It depends on the contest if the grand prize should be a machine. There are lots of prizes that would be nice to win. Congratulations Debra on winning the machine.
Thank you. It is a wonderful addition to my Bernina 1630 and I have been eye balling the 880 over a year now!
Thanks.
