Some Bella for Giveaway Day
If you are new here, welcome to my blog. It is Giveaway Day - which runs for most of this week - at Sew Mama Sew. I have a set of 19 Fat Quarters of Bella, which was designed by Lotta Jansdotter, to give away. She is one of my favourite designers and these fabrics are lovely and fun.
I made a point of laying these fabrics out at the sunniest point of the day to get some good pictures as we are into the short days of December here in Canada. I have this set of fabrics to give away because I accidentally ordered it twice - you know, forgot about the pre-order I made - I am sure no one but me ever does that. So I tucked it away knowing that Giveaway Day would arrive.
To be eligible to win this excellent set of fabrics, leave me a comment letting me know your favourite movie of all time - yes, if you have two or more favourites you can tell me all of them. I am hoping to snuggle under some quilts, relax and watch some movies over the holidays and need some new ideas.
I am happy to ship anywhere in the world, so everyone is welcome to enter. I will draw the winner at 5 p.m. PST on Friday, December 7, 2012.
**** You must either have an email attached to your profile or leave your email address in the comment to be eligible for the prize. I will immediately draw another name if you skip this step, and since this is such excellent fabric, you don't want that to happen. ****
********** This draw is now over and the winner has been drawn, it is Leanne who blogs at Daisy and Jack, go here to read about the draw. Thank you to everyone who entered and to Sew Mama Sew for hosting Giveaway Day. ************
Remember, there are 5 different giveaway groups at Sew Mama Sew to enter, good luck!
Best,
Leanne

My all-time favorite movie is The Sting. Still haven't seen anything that beats it.
Favourite movie would be Steel Magnolias. Now I am showing my age!
I am weird about movies, I dislike watching anything twice but I am big time in love with BBC's Sherlock and have watched 'A Scandal in Belgravia' about a dozen times. I highly recommend!
Right now my all time favorite movie is Despicable Me. I could watch that over and over again. I can't wait for the sequel to come out.
Leanne, this is such an incredibly generous giveaway, and I would love the chance to get my hands on some of this gorgeous collection! I'm a huge fan of old movies like The Best Years of Our Lives or classics like the Colin Firth version of Pride & Prejudice.
I love Singin in the Rain.
My favorite movie of all time is Rocky Horror Picture Show.
robyn(dot)geddes(at)gmail(dot)com

Confession: dirty dancing...
The only movie that I have watched over and over is "Love Actually" which I hope to see again as Christmas draws near.
And thank you so much that you have made this an international giveaway!
I love the classics like Dirty Dancing and Grease but another one that sticks in my mind which I really enjoyed was The Game with Michael Douglas - old but good.
Hardly a year goes by without me watching my fave movie: Gone With the Wind... love it!
Thanks for the chance to win
bea968{at}gmail.com
Hmm, I think my favorite holiday movie would be "Holiday Inn", but of all time? Has to be "Casablanca". Play it again!
I am a romantic comedy fool, so I'd have to go with things like You've Got Mail, Sweet Home Alabama, and for a holiday favorite- Love, Actually. :)
Gone with the wind is my all time favorite movie!

Favorite movie - depends on the mood. A bit edgy - Fight Club
A bit cuddly on a rainy Sunday - Fiddler on the Roof.
My favorite movies are probably a toss up between White Christmas and the "New" star trek movie : D
thanks for the giveaway!
kjjharrison(at)gmail(dot)com
Sliding Doors is a great movie about fate.
I love the Polar Express. I sometimes even listen to the music when it's not Christmas.
To be honest I rarely watch movies so I don't have a favourite. Lately I've been trying to watch some contemporary Christian movies like Fireproof and The Grace Card.
I love Amelie!
Jennifer

Oh, I love that fabric. Thanks for giving it away to a lucky winner. My favorite movie(s) would be The Family Stone, Shawshank Redemption and Top Gun.
rushmore!
Way too many chic flicks to narrow down but Music and Lyrics or While you Were Sleeping are right up there neck and neck.
I actually find that really hard!! I love Elf, You've Got Mail, Ghostdog, anything with Mark Wahlberg or Ryan Gosling in (you know because they are good not just fit!!) - Drive and Crazy Stupid Love are both brilliant!
It really depends on my mood :)
I have quite a few, but the first one that comes to mind is While You Were Sleeping. Sigh. :)

I don't know what my favorite movie is: I really liked The Matrix and Amelie, and a documentary about bird migrations.
At this time of year, I enjoying watching The Holiday with a cup of hot chocolate and a blanket. My favorite movie probably has to be A Wedding for Bella/ The Bread my Sweet. It has two titles for some reason, but it is wonderful and I bought a copy for everyone I know! Warning, you'll want biscotti after watching.
Massive giveaway. Thank you. I am not really into films but I did enjoy The King's Speech. An old favourite in our family is the original Italian Job. Di x

I love this fabric! My favorite movie of all time is "Black Cat, White Cat" definitely worth the sub-titles :)
All time fave is pretty woman.
I'm with The Princess Bride contingent :) lbhaydon at orcon dot net dot nz
PS I love Lotta Jansdotter fabric!
Gorgeous fabrics!
Favorite movies are: "Auntie Mame" (the Rosalind Russell version, NOT the Lucille Ball musical version!) and "The Women" - again, with Rosalind Russell. Heh. Or you could go geeky with "Buckaroo Bonzai"! ["Laugh while you can, monkey boy!"] Or really silly and cheesy with "SoapDish" (Oh, Kevin Kline!). For more cheese, try "The Glass-Bottomed Boat" with Doris Day. Oh how corny and silly!
The only DVD I've ever worn out is Rent. It's my favorite to watch while sewing.
My fave is The Princess Bride.
Thanks for the chance!
Absolute favourite, best movie of all time is one called "Bright Star" about poet John Keats. Thanks for the giveaway. :-)
In Her Shoes
Labyrinth - I have seen it a million times, but I still love it. I loved it so much as a child, I was watching it when Dad came to pick me up to meet my newborn baby brother, I asked him if I could just watch the end first :)
Such a beautiful fat quarter set - I can think of tons of ideas for how to use this...
My fave movie of all time is...The Wizard Of Oz! I love how the movie begins in a black and white dust bowl and blossoms into beautiful colors and scenery with interesting characters. My second favorite is Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. Muppets are awesome : )
My favorite movie of all time is the Princess Bride, but at Christmas I also really love to watch While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock. Thanks so much for participating in Giveaway Day and giving away these amazing fabrics!
This is just terrible but my favorite movie is The Fifth Element. It is just about the nerdiest scifi movie but I love Milla Jovovich in it!
Wildbluestarz {at} Aol {dot} com
I have lots of favorites but I really love Top Gun and Pride and Prejudice! An odd combination, I know! :)
North & South (british period drama)
I really like The Lord of the Rings--I'm looking so forward to the Hobbit!
Pride and Prejudice!
Oh sure, nobody else has ever ended up with fabric duplicates! ;)
I have several favorite movies. Excalibur, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, This is Spinal Tap, and The Big Lebowski. It's fun to read what everyone else is listing, too.
I've done that a time or two as well. My all time favorite is Gone With the Wind.
I know this isn't sophisticated, but I just rewatched "Elf"...and it was just as hilarious as the first 5 or 6 times I saw it!
Pure Country, and How to lose a Guy in 10 days.
It's embarrassingly old and dated, but I have watched Reality Bites well over a dozen times!
I'm shocked that so many people would pick The Princess Bride (not that it isn't good), but I'm even more shocked that others have said what I was going to say: In the comedy category (but not all time favorite, which I couldn't possibly think of) -- O Brother, Where Art Thou?
This is an insane giveaway and I would absolutely jump up and down screaming if I won. Thanks for the chance!
Favourite movie!! Of all time!! There are way too many. And it is so dependant on my mood. To stay in the delightful Christmas spirit I've got going - I pick Whit Christmas - with Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney - It can't be beat!
E

First, thanks for the chance at this very generous giveaway! My favorite movie is The Big Chill. To like it, though, you need to be middle-aged...or maybe a little older than that :)) Great 60's music!
What a generous giveaway! I have a number of favorite movies. One of my special favorites is a Canadian film, pretty old, called Strangers in Good Company. (I mention it because it is fabulous, and most people have not heard of it.) It is a movie about a group of women, strangers, who go on a bus trip, break down, and get to know each other as they deal with the situation. It is riveting and thoughtful. Hope you can find it!
