UT Swag Package Giveaway!

*Commenting is closed. Thanks to all who entered! Winners will be announced soon*

I think my favorite part of these goodies, if we’re rating on immaturity here, is that everything in this pack is deliciously shiny. Shiny mug, shiny stickers, shiny buttons. Shiny shiny shiny. I’m like a raccoon or something. But they are pretty, aren’t they?

This little pack is to show a little love. You guys give us a lot of love, we thought we’d give you something back! So we made a little package of UT goodies we hope you just can’t resist.

Each swag pack (and there are four packs to win today!) comes with one shiny (of course) Urban Threads mug, so you can rock your stitch-y devotion even when enjoying your favorite cup of hot tasty beverage.

You also get four big Urban Threads stickers, to plaster your machine, walls, or unsuspecting friends with while they’re not looking.

Finally, each pack comes with four mini buttons, one of each kind. Rock our classic black button, stitch the revolution (and stitch a matching design), show how much you heart UT, or very sneakily declare (with a highly visible shiny button) your membership to Embroidery Megalomaniacs Inc. Yup, that’s our super secret society that’s not very good at being secret but is great at promoting awesome embroidery. You should join. We have virtual coffee and cake in the pretend clubhouse each month.

So, you’ve seen all the goodies – each pack consists of one mug, four buttons, and four stickers, and there are four chances to win this awesome UT Swag.

In order to enter, all you need to do is go to the Urban Threads site and find your very favorite design or pack ever. Yup, I’m afraid you have to pick favorites. Post the name and link to that favorite design or pack in your comment, and you’re entered to win!  It’s time to go a-hunting stitchers, and pick that top design. Is it the Day of the Dead skull? Maybe you really loved the Parisian Love Letter Collection, or maybe Sinbonnet Sue is really your thing. Perhaps you’re all about Steampunk Butterflies. Whatever it is, share it in a comment on this posting and you’re entered to win one of our UT Swag Packs.

Today’s contest is open from 10 am to 10pm US central time. Get commenting, and happy hunting!

Chompy Bunny Giveaway Winners

Below are the four winners of yesterdays chompy bunny giveaway, chosen randomly. All winners have been notified by e-mail. I hope you have lots of scissors ready and waiting to be nommed! Our four bunny’s new names are Fred, Sidney Vicious, The Beast of Caerlbannog, and Antioch. I see we have a lot of Monty Python fans in our midst. Why am I not surprised?

Comment winners are below:

#227 – Sharre

Fred. Because I have a bad habit of naming everything Fred.

#169 - Lilah the Leukemia Slayer

Lilah the Leukemia Slayer would name her bunny Sidney Vicious. Together Lilah and her fierce, fanged bunny sidekick would conquer cancer.

#85 - Laura Lipponen

I’m way too traditional, so he would be The Beast of Caerlbannog. Because.. Really, why fight a good name?

#200 - Mechelle

I would name him Antioch.

Congrats Urban Threadsters!

If you’re feelin’ down you didn’t win, well another contest for a UT Swag Pack starts today at 10am, and you can always buy yourself a discounted goodie from our Storewide Sale, only on for a few more days!

ppstt… super sad you didn’t win a bunny? They’re just little Monty Python plushies. You can buy one here!

DIY Cross-Stitch Cookies

Looking for something stitchy and sweet, without pulling out the needle and thread? These Cross-Stitch Cookies from Design*Sponge are just the ticket, and look super easy to make. What an amazing little touch these would make at a craft event! Hmm, I’ll have to add it to the list of things to have at our big Urban Threads Craftathon Dance Party event that currently only exists in my head. Someday…

Check out the tutorial on how to make these sweet crafty treats here!

Ohh, I know a lot of people have been waiting for this one…

The day has arrived, where you have a chance to take home your own furred fanged chompy fur ball of death and craft eating destruction! Yay! Doesn’t that sound like fun?

Yup, in today’s giveaway, four lucky folks will win their very own Craft Bunny cousin to take home and love and cherish and feed tasty scissors. Well, maybe it’s just my Craft Bunny who likes eating scissors. Maybe yours will be very well behaved…

Nah.

All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment on this post telling us what your bunnies new name would be, and you’ll be entered to win one.

Today’s contest is open from 10 am to 10pm US central time. Get commenting! And maybe, start bunny-proofing your studio.

Poster Giveaway Winners!

Below are the four winners of yesterdays exclusive poster giveaway, chosen randomly! All winners have been notified by e-mail. Congrats stitchers, I hope you have a good home for your new poster!

 

#32 – Alice Wylie

I’m going with the Digimatic 2000. If you get the Diet Coke to Sprinkles ratio off by even a sprinkle…

#109 – Emma

Ooo tiny tacos… No, I.T gnomes… No, tiny tacos… Oh I could be here all night :) can we just call it a tie?

#165 - Christine

Of course it is the Digimatic 2000, that is the beginning and the end all.

#9 - Keri Reed

I think the IT Gnomes are highly under-rated. They don’t even get paid in tiny tacos. They need some love.

Congrats to our four lucky winners!

Feeling left out? Never fear! The chompy bunny contest starts today at 10am, and there are more prizes all this week. If you’re looking for instant gratification, be sure to visit the Storewide Sale before it ends!
