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

If you haven't seen Amelie, watch it. Its a quirky, awesome French film that I must have watched at least 5 times.
I'll also recommend:
- The Young Victoria
- The Holiday
And I know its not movies, but I love watching documentaries, particularly anything by David Attenborough (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_Collection), "The History of Maths", "The Story of Science" and "The Human Body" (and other sciencey ones from the BBC).
Hope that helps!
I am still a sucker for the wizard of oz! I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to watch it!
I can never not sit and watch A Walk to Remember no matter if it's just started or is 15 minutes from ending.
Love Actually is my favourite movie, both for Christmas and overall :)
There are some great ones out there. The princess bride, Star Wars (origional), LOTR, Ever After, and The Proposal.... and the list goes on...
Let's see...Terms of Endearment, Steel Magnolias, Howard's End, Enchanted April.
This is bad, but I really like Steel Magnolias (it's late and my brain is turned off, haha_)
Thanks for the chance to win :)
I'm not much of a film fan, I prefer TV series, so i'll have to say Dirty Dancing
How generous you are, such lovely fabric! Too hard to choose my favourite film but I never get tired of watching The Usual Suspects.
I live in the French countryside , it's hardly impossible here to go to a cinema. I saw a film in a mobile cinema here in the village. It was JE vous trouve très beau.
I love Pride and Prejudice! The Keira Knightly one, not the BBC one- I have never seen that one!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I like Twilight---so cheesy:)
Also, Gone with the wind, footloose and coyote ugly, and Dirty Dancing
gorgeous bundle of fabric. Maybe it's the season, but my favourite movie is It's a Wonderful Life - gets me every time!
Gone with the Wind!
I don't know that I have one favourite movie, it depends on my mood, but one of my favourite movies that I always go back to is Labyrinth.
My favorite movie is The Goonies.
One of my favourite movies is Anchorman, makes me laugh every time.
My favorite movies are the Pirates of the Caribbean, Sherlock Holmes, Real Steel, and Despicable me! Thanks for this amazing giveaway!
I don't really have a favourite movie at all, but my favourite genre of movies is sci-fi/superhero movies :)
I love Notting Hill! :) Thanks for such an awesome giveaway! Happy Holidays to You! :)
My husband and I are big movie buffs - so I have a lot of favorites. Want a good old kind of Christmasy movie - rent Desk Set in black and white, with Kathyrn Hepbern and Spencer Tracy. Another favorite is Thoroughly Modern Millie with Julie Andrews and Carol Channing. Raspberries!! (you have to watch the movie....)
Thanks for the generous give away!
I have so many, it's hard to pick just one! I would say Family Stone and White Christmas are my two holiday favorites. Wizard of Oz and Princess Bride are up there as well for all time favs. Thanks for the chance at some LOVELY Bella. Lotta is amazing!
Well, always the Princess Bride, but also some of my all-time favorite childrens' movies: The Lion King, Toy Story & Sleeping Beauty!

Pretty woman.

What a great discovery through your blog. How about an Australian movie "Muriel's Wedding" to add a bit of warm sunshine and fun to a day on the couch, Cheers.
Well, let's see, my very favorite movie is While You Were Sleeping. My favorite Christmas movie is Elf so it's a good thing it's on about 50 times each holiday season!
Hmmm, it's really hard to choose a favorite. It used to be Braveheart, but now I'm not so sure...maybe something like Jane Eyre would be more correct.

My favourite film? Himalaya - it's a documentary about tribes selling salt. I also really like Brief Encounter and Pretty Woman

The Goonies, Romancing the Stone,and Pretty Woman. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I'm not much of a movie watcher...this time of year I do need to watch White Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life. Thanks for the chance at a most generous giveaway.

My favorite movie is Jersey Girl. I just love it!

Beautiful fabric! My favorite movie of all time (and I'm a huge buff) is the 4-hour Lawrence of Arabia (the director's cut). The Blu-Ray just came out and it is a revelation!
Such an awesome giveaway. My favorite movie of all time is The Sound of Music.
Oh I'm not going to be much help. I'm not a movie person- at all. I do love Home Alone though. Thanks for participating in the Giveaway Day.
Since my kids were very little, we have watched White Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend - to get us in the mood, so to speak. My son was the only one of the brood able to come home this year, and it was one of the first things we did. I love that he sings right along...
OOooooh! Thanks for the chance to win! movie: Sex and the City

I am a complete movie nerd, and I know that my taste is probably not mainstream, but my current top three movies are Wild At Heart, Magnolia and The Fountain (and if I could sneak in a TV series re-watch, I'd definitely put Carnivale on the list ;) ). They're all quite different from each other, but I could watch them over and over again! Thanks so much for the chance at your generous giveaway - I absolutely adore Bella!
sound of music
I love Empire Records.
Bbcs pride and prejudice - the most recent one with Sally Hawkins. :)
I rarely watch movie...but the recent one I had was Beauty and the Briefcase!
At the moment I'm mostly watching kids movies - I love Ponyo and Toy Story 3.
I'm going to add some oldies I never tire of watching. They are all light-hearted!
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
How to Marry a Millionaire
The Philadelphia Story - but you can't go wrong with any Cary Grant movie!
Enjoy your movie nights!

I watch a lot of movies, so I'm not sure that I can pinpoint one favorite... one that I recently saw and really enjoyed was Seven Pounds. Although if you haven't watch it yet, skip the first 5 minutes... it ruins the rest of the movie! I don't know why they did that!
Ohh, my favourite movies are Notting Hill (Watched it for the umpteenth time on Monday when I was sick. It just makes me so happy!) and Matilda. I know it is old, but it is just done so beautifully and the actors are perfect for their roles! Thanks for the chance to win :)
If I have to pick 1 favorite, I am going to go with "Love Actually"! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh I adore Bella!
My favorite movie is Julie & Julia, I still check out that movie once in a while.
thank you!
I can absolutely always watch The Holiday and The Corpse Bride. To be quite honest, I don't really have a favorite movie, I just like them.
I LOVE the Bella line - thanks for the give-away opp. One of my all-time favorite movies is Tombstone.
Princess Bride, hands down. Oh- North by Northwest is also a fave. And Local Hero.
My favorites:-) Sleepless in Seattle, Nanny McPhee, Secret Garden (directed by Scorcese), You've Got Mail, Freda' I'll just stop there.
Love this - thanks for the chance to win! I love the BBC Pride and Prejudice.
Greetings! I live in MN where we are also experiencing short days and gloomy weather. Perfect crafting weather. Every winter I rewatch my favorites: Little House On the Prairie, Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth, Anne of Green Gables, Nicholas Nickleby, Emma, You've Got Mail, and Monk. :-)
Thanks for the delightful selection of FABRICS!
Favorite movie of all time has to be Good Will Hunting, but depending on my mood my go to snuggle-under-the-blanket-and-drink-a warm-beverage movies are also The Princess Bride, Notting Hill, and the new Pride and Prejudice (with Keira Knightly). Then there's my guilty pleasure, Newsies (which is a terrible movie, but is super fun in a Disney sort of way)
You are so nice for offering this - if I had ordered it twice I would have squirreled them away with my other fabrics!! :) My favorite movie is White Christmas - I love all the dance numbers!
Definitely Wizard of Oz! Thanks for the giveaway! AMy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

Amazing giveaway! My favourite film is The Godfather. Cool stuff!
I don't watch a lot of movies, but probably 'Notting Hill' for romantic movies and 'What about Bob?' for comedies are my favorites. :)

These fabrics are lovely and fun, indeed! Thanks for the giveaway. One of my all-time favorite movies is The Princess Bride.
Ugh! This is such a hard one...I'm throwing out a few...Star Wars, Princess Bride, and French Kiss.

Atanarjuat was great and so was Never Cry Wolf. My Canadian recommendations. :)

I LOVEthe mindlessness of the Twilight saga! :)
Maybe it would be Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth, but it's hard to choose. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am not a really movie lover, but one of my favorites is Parenthood, with Steve Martin. it came out in 1989 or near then, and if you are a parent, I highly recommend it. It's hilarious.
