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

Simple, real lemonade of course! jawalker at gmail dot com
I like fruit juice mixed with sprite
Apple cinnamon sun tea, mixed fruit salad. Home grown tomatoes, and wedges of good cheese. I like RED more everytime I see her!
During the summer I eat Caprese Salad at least once a week- it's light and refreshing and perfect for showcasing heirloom tomatoes from the farmer's market. Thank you for a lovely giveaway.
Definitely strawberries in the summer :-)
I love tomato sandwiches on toast, just home grown tomatoes and miracle whip, yum.
Hmm can't go wrong with a good ole 7-eleven Slurpee. Easy to carry, cools you off and tastes super yummy!
My favorite summer drink is margaritas! But for a family/kid friendly drink I love lemonade!
Mojitos are our favorite summer drink. So amazing with homegrown fresh mint!
I signed up to follow you.
For a picnic, usually fruit, crackers, and chicken wings. For drinks we usually stick with water, rather than juice.
My favorite drink for summer is a big glass of cold iced tea. Thanks for a great giveaway.
i follow via gfc!
Ice cream! But let's be honest, it's my favorite snack year-round. :)
peachstateme (at) hotmail (dot) com
and favorite summer eats?
well, once the snow melts, we drag out the grill, and from mid-april on we grill just about everything we eat. chicken, hot dogs, steaks, burgers, sausages, ribs... it doesn't matter. we grill it. veggies and fruits, too! (slice your peaches in half, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and grill open side down. serve with home made vanilla ice cream!)
Fresh fruits and melons are my choices for picnics. And the standby, PB&J. We have a lot of grandchildren here. Thanks.
Oh, lucky you to meet Lu! That fabric is so unique and wonderful. Thank you for the chance. I like to bring snacks in a can to the beach but they are hard to find these days. So I put my Cheetos or chips in a plastic container. I also love to bring fruit, well chilled.
New follower - look forward to getting to know you.
I go through gallons of sweet iced tea every summer! Thanks for the giveaway.
Fresh tomatoes, cold watermelon, mint and lemon drinks: summer excels at serving up fabulously perfect, simple things. That's what I'd take to the beach. :)
A garbanzo bean salad, add red onions, bell peppers with a simple dressing of olive oil and apple cider vinegar, season with some sugar, salt and pepper. Delish! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity :)
wow--those are wonderful fabrics! i love lemonaid...i make it with bottled lemon juice and splenda over crushed ice. it wouldn't hurt to add some wonderful crushed strawberries to it! thanks for the opportunity and have a great day
lots and lots of fresh fruit, and corn on the cob! lovely giveaway, thank you!
I love pecan chicken salad during the summer. Pecans, chicken, mayo, grapes,apples and a bit of cream cheese :-)
Summer tomatoes! And zucchini cakes, kind of like a crab cake but with zucchini instead.
erikawithak.vintage(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm not a great cook, so my favorite snacks have to be easy and tasty. My go-to snack is hummus and pita bread. Easy, healthy and cheap.
Favourites are strawberries and fresh strawberry juice
Awesome fabrics! Has to be a big, fat cold watermelon that you can enjoy messily on the beach and then jump in the water to get all the stickies off!
I really enjoy a dill and cucumber sauce on BBQ grilled salmon! Very fresh and lite! ^_^ I eat it all year long but as soon as it hits the palette I think of summer!
I love Amargoterma with ice and water!

My favourite summer drink ( one for the adults) is muddled cucumber, mint, elderflower cordial, soda water and a dash of gin! Very refreshing!
Favorite summer snack is crostini! (toasted baguette + basil + fresh mozzarella + tomato!)
A few years ago we discovered the ease of hummus sandwiches: hummus (and spinach or lettuce, if the eaters are willing) wrapped in a tortilla. Easy to eat and they only need to be chilled if it'll be REALLY hot. Thanks for this chance!
Watermelon is my favorite! Healthy and inexpensive!
For Picnics a damper sandwich - just hollow out a large damper and layer your favourite sandwich ingreadients inside and return the top. Then you just need a sharp knife to cut wedges to suit the apatite of each of your picnic guests. ENJOY
Gotta have real lemonade

Somehow I'm addicted to frozen grapes, healthy too!!!
Love your quilt names - Noise - Red - too funny! Snacks: cheese and crackers, fruit, water to drink. Or maybe a beer.
I love making mini-quiches - you can make it super simple by using frozen pastry and ready-to-use ingredients like leg ham (instead of bacon that you'd have to cook first). I cut rings of pastry out using a glass or cookie cutter and line cupcake tins.
Our favorite summer food is curry chicken salad in half of a papaya...yummmmm. Thanks for the chance.
I follow you on Google Reader.
