Edited to add: The giveaway is now over and the lovely Susan at PatchworknPlay is the winner! Congratulations Susan and thank you to everyone who participated and left such great ideas for summer picnic food and drinks.
Welcome to Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day. I am in love with Summersville, a new fabric line by Lu Summers. So I am giving some away, because I know you will love it too. That picture is one I took of my charm pack - so you could see the 27 different prints in this amazing line. By the way, I get to meet her - Lu Summers - in less than two weeks at the Fat Quarterly Retreat - she is one of my teachers!
I decided you might need all the prints so I am giving away a Fat Eight stack of the entire Summersville line. Once the winner is drawn, it will ship to you directly from my friends at Pink Castle Fabrics who have the bundle I purchased for you waiting for me to give them the address, anywhere in the world.
There are two chances to win this fabric: please leave me a comment sharing your favourite summer snacks or drinks. I am hoping to have a lot of picnics, especially at the beach, this summer and am looking for ideas to bring along. And if you are a follower of my blog (old or new) you can have a second entry.
Please make sure your email is attached to your blogger profile or you leave it in your comment - if you cannot be found, you cannot win. I will close this giveaway on May 25 at 5 p.m. PST and will draw the winner randomly. In the meantime, there will be a lot of amazing giveaways, do go and enter them all.
Normally I answer all comments left for me on my blog by email, but the give aways are tough and I have a crazy busy week. I will be reading and listing all your picnic ideas but forgive me if I don't get time to email you back, I will try but no promises.
In other news, I was quilting Noise yesterday, you can read more about her here. She is looking wonderful, there will be a Ta Da post tomorrow.
I was making purposefully random organic wavy lines. Much harder than mostly straight lines -who knew.
Oh, and I had to show you Red again - the full Bloggers Quilt Festival post is here. I am so enjoying all the quilts in the Festival, I hope you are too.
Best,
Leanne

Corn on the cob always makes me think of summer. Happy picnicing
I'm a regular follower. Thanks
Favorite summer food...a caprese salad.
I have a special diet, so there isn't much that I can take on picnics, that won't spoil. I do like to bring fresh fruit, like peaches or plums. In the hot summer, fruits can help with hydration, great energy boost and they taste wonderful since they are in season.

Our favorite summedry rest is ice tea and a fresh fruit salad.
Mmm... I love fresh summer sweet corn and fresh mozzarella with basil -- in fact, I'm learning how to make my own cheese just so I can eat more of it :)
My favorite summer food is anything on the BBQ; hamburgers and brats :) Yummy!! Thanks for the chance to win this cute fabric!! I love it!!
I follow you too! :)
Not only is Lu a talented designer she is a lovely person as well - don't some people just make you sick!
I don't really do picnics, not a lot of opportunities here but when its Pimms o'clock, the disappointments of the British weather are eased! And of course, strawberrys and cream are essential for outside dining!
And I'm a follower - 7days!
I like hummus and cucumbers. And tomatoes and mozzarella. They are yummy on a toothpick.
whoowee, this one is great. Thank you for sharing your favorites. I love this line as well.
Thank you thank you
good bread, good cheese, good fruit, good wine. that about sums up my idea of the perfect picnic.
And I'm an old follower.
Caprese salad and white wine sounds good for a summer party.
raspberry lemonade is so refreshing. and frozen grapes

And this summer we made watermelon and mint granitas- yummy!
Oh, it would have to be watermelon for me. we love to munch on it all summer long. Fantastic giveaway, thanks.

Ice cold fresh fruit always goes to the beach with us.
I also follow your blog. Thanks for the great giveaway
I'm old fashioned, lemonade is my go to drink for the summer.

Okay, so maybe this is totally cheeseball, but I love Nestle's instant peach iced tea. It is so yummy for a hot summer day and easy to make! ;0)
LOVE SUMMERSVILLE!:0)
Ahh a picture or RED - one of my fav quilts!! Love Mars Bar squares - make ahead, freeze and then they thaw in time to eat during a summer party or picnic therefore don't melt!
I'm a follower :) Yay!!!
Turkey Hill Green Ice tea-it is wonderful.
I am a follower.

I love watermelon in the summer, and it's a healthy treat at all those parties!
Following!
Mango lassis are the best summer drink. Puree the mango, and if you puree a tray of overripe mangos at one time (cheaper!), they can be freeflow frozen in ice cube trays, then the cubes stored in a ziploc. 3 cubes + yoghurt = 1 drink. Nom.
I follow via RSS.
We love lemonade and homemade Popsicle. Of course you can't really take Popsicle with you on a picnic so we also love s'mores for beach bonfires!
I love fresh tomatoes and corn on the cob!

I love to eat lots of summer fruit.
Nothing inventive here, but my favorite summer snacks are kettle corn and lemonade!
Watermelon always!
I am new follower and can't wait to hear about all the picnics!
LOVE Noise. It has given me an idea for a new quilt that has been lurking on the edge of my brain.
I have become obsessed with quinoa salad. It takes on the flavors of the dressing and goes well with the crunch of jicama, onion, carrot, and other veggies. Also, it is gluten free for the folks in my family who are so inclined.
Oh I love S'mores, best summer snack ever!
I'm a new follower!
Great fabric line Leanne....thanks for this chance....I like purple haze as a summer drink...and snacks...anything crunchy
Watermelon. And fried chicken. :D
I love a good Italian cream soda! Thanks for the chance :)
i need that summersville fabric. like, NEED it need it. :) i live in florida, where it gets very hot and humid in the sumemrs. lemonade tastes SO good on a hot, humid day. :)
I love to make home made ice cream sandwiches...but that's kind of tough for picnic food isn't it? My favorite savory summer picnic food is the Barefoot Contessa's Potato Salad (it's a viniagrette dressing, not mayo-much better for warm weather). If you google it you'll find it. It is delish!!
Love sweet tea, fresh watermelon and cucumber salad....yummy!
Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!
Your newest follower! :) Thanks again!

It's not very creative, but I love strawberry daiquiris and burgers off the grill.

I drink Arizona Green Tea like it's going out of style in the summertime. And margaritas. And I like putting grapes in the freezer and making popsicles out of yogurt.
Thanks for the chance. Summer snack or drink? Hmmm...anything on a stick...shrimp, little bits of steak, fruit bars....yum.
My favorite drink is a frozen margarita but a nice cold Bud Light lime is great at the beach! Deviled Eggs are my favorite summer food!

feta, watermelon, fresh mint or caprese salad. yum!
new follower, thanks, i love this fabric line!
pesto pasta salad with shrimp. and a gin & tonic with lots of lime. mmmmmm.
This summer past (I'm in Australia so we're about to hit winter, boo hoo) I started making popsicles for my children using a combination of yoghurt, diced fruit and pureed fruit with pure fruit juice. It's a great healthy alternative to ice cream or the store bought popsicles which are just sugar water!

I like peaches... they are perfect no matter what :) that is as long as they don't get smashed

I am a follower! mjalfano19@gmail.com

My favorite summer drink is something called a Bootleg - kind of like a mojito with vodka instead of rum made with limeade and lots of fresh mint.

Love this line a fabric. Have a great time in your class. And take some Gold Peak Lemonade Iced Tea with you to the beach. Sooo refreshing!
I love iced tea which is so boring right? Just that and hot dogs - they bbq easily, no raw meat to worry about or cheese to melt and not worry about scorching!
My favorite summer treat is whatever my husband cooks on the barbecue!
My favorite summer snack is watermelon sorbet, purée chilled watermelon with a few mint leaves and a small amount of agave syrup and then put it in an ice cream maker until it's the desired consistency. So good!

We keep our picnics really simple -- watermelon is great cause it comes with it's own packaging :)
Green tea lemonade: half brewed green tea, half crystal light lemonade. Delish and no calories!
Goodness, I am very hungry and thirsty after reading all that! Thanks for the great giveaway and question. Favorite summer drink is a frozen watermelon liquefied in the blender, sometimes with a few strawberries thrown in, sometimes sprinkled with black pepper (try it!). Both can also take a splash of vodka.
I like haloumi and couscous salad with lemon and coriander. If there is any left over it tastes even better after a night in the fridge.
love making fruit smoothies then freezing them in Popsicle molds for my girls to enjoy!
