EDIT: The winner of the Creative Girl Art Quilt Kit is Jessica with comment 136!
I love Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Days. It’s a great opportunity to discover new blogs and maybe win free stuff. It’s also motivating me to spend more time blogging.
My day job has been way too stressful lately and blogging is one of several things that I’ve let slide. I’ve finally figured out how to blog from my phone which makes it much easier to do quick posts about what I’m creating now. I’m also diligently attempting to reduce my stress level with more exercise, saying no when I don’t have time to get it all done and stepping away when I want to pull my hair out.
So what can you win? I am giving away a Creative Girl Art Quilt Kit!
Use the faces printed on fabric and dress patterns to make your own creative girl art quilts. You’ll find plenty of fabric and embellishments to inspire multiple quilts and hours of creative fun.
The kit includes:
– 8 small and 4 large faces printed on fabric and pre-fused to fusible webbing
– dress pattern in 2 sizes
– basic creative girl art quilt instructions
– batting for 2 art quilt (1 small 5â€x8†and 1 large 8â€x12â€)
– fusible webbing
– fabric in a variety of patterns/colors for dress making and backgrounds
– fabric to match the faces for creating arms or legs
– bag of fabric scraps
– embellishments (buttons, ribbon, lace, vintage trim)
– strip of ruffled fabric
Here are examples of what you can do with the kit.
How can you win? Leave a comment before 5pm PST time on May 25th telling me how you reduce or avoid stress.
I’ll randomly select a winner from all the comments. I will ship the kit internationally.
Normally I try to respond to all comments, but given the volume that I receive on Giveaway Day, I won’t have time. Thank you in advance for your comments and I look forward to learning new ways to have a less stressful life.

I knit or read or watch a show
I cuddle with my dog.
I try to avoid stress by reminding myself that I should worry about things I have no control over. Thanks for the giveaway.
I do deep breathing. I have anxiety/panic disorder and don’t take medication for it. I breathe in through my nose to the count of 5, 1..2..3.., then hold for 5 then slowly breathe out my mouth like when you whistle for the count of 5. It works for any number if 5 is too much for you. It MAKES the brain/nervous system to relax. (im a nurse also. ) Enough sleep, eating good foods on time (not late), closing your eyes and deep breathing works. Talking about your problems and not keeping them in. These are all good coping mechanisms for stress. Oh! And drink enough water. It all sounds simple, but once you make a point to do all these things, they work. So does a nice warm bath, and doing something for YOU once a day.
I go sit in the barn and let the lambs snuggle me. Plus my mantra is “this too shall pass”.
Hm. That’s a toughie since what works on one person doesn’t always work on another. I personally like to pull weeds or prune my trees. Sometimes some sewing will do it or crafting. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂

How fun! I reduce stress by knitting or crocheting while relaxing with my family.
I sew or crochet to reduce stress
I step away from whatever is stressing me for a moment and do something different or have a nice cup of tea.
