BLOG GIVEAWAY!

The House of Kent blog is participating in the Sew Mama Sew Blog Giveaway!
All you have to do is leave a comment with an email address on this post to be eligible to win a bit of Texas:













1 yard of "Oro Mesa" designed by Phillip de Leon for Alexander Henry, dated 1992, 100% cotton print. Prewashed and stored inside our non-smoking, pet-free home. It's 42" wide and the design repeats 11 1/2" in length and 22" in width. The cowboy figures are approximately 4" x 5".

I used this fabric when L was little to make a Go Texan vest (vest not included in the giveway!). You could also use this unisex print to make a little skirt, pants, bibs, baby diaper cover pants, an apron, home dec items, or cut out and use the cowboys as appliques for other projects...there's lots of fun sewing and creative potential!

Thanks for stopping by and hope ya'll come back and visit my blog in the future!
The contest will be open through May 31, so don't fret if you are reading this after May 27. You can still enter up until Midnight, May 31, your time zone. I will do the drawing on June 1 and send this fabric via Pony Express (kidding! who could not resist that?) by June 3.

Sorry, this giveaway is for US and APO/FPO Military addresses only.
Update: This is so much fun - I've set my Blackberry to chime when the comments post! And It's also cool to see potential plans for the fabric. I'm glad it will be going to live on in a better place than my storage container.

    This fabric is FABULOUS. It ranks right up there with that time I got fabric with rocketships on it. :)

    oh, I'm always in need to prints that can be used in boy quilts. Project Linus always needs boy quilts and this, with some red bandanna print and maybe a denim or prairie sky/clouds print would make an awesome cowboy themed quilt!

    My brother, who is predominantly Native American Indian, wants so bad to be a cowboy. So, I'd probably do something for him out of it.

    Awesome giveaway!

    I am 8. I am learning how to sew. I have been doing some embroidery stitches. My 6 year old brother is learning some too. I hope to be on the machine before the end of summer. There are pictures of both of us sewing together and of our projects on my blog. Further down in previous posts, I also have pictures of my family, mom, dad, 15 month brother and other brother and sister. We homeschool.

    I am having a giveaway as well at

    Okay that fabric is really cute. I could see it for some PJ bottoms for my son. Or maybe a fluffy skirt for my daughter. How cute would that look with a pair of cowboy boots. I get a smile just thinking about it. Thank you for being willing to do this!

    Thank you for introducing me to your blog and your giveaway. Love the fabric my boys room is in a cowboy theme. My husband has also as of late been threating to move us to Texas since you guys were smart enough to declare state soverignty. So maybe we will be neighbors. You can visit my blog, but I warn it hasn't been maintained in a few months because we have been on the move since my husband retired the military. www.davidandheather.wordpress.com but I have to get my butt in gear after various threats from in-laws. They want to see the boy and the new one due in October. Thank you again for you site. Have a great day. Good luck everyone.
