Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

***UPDATE*** The winner of this giveaway as chosen by Random Number Generator is comment number 322: Sandra. She said, “I have heard people talking about going to Canada. I would think that the trips planned would probably be visiting the Prince Edward Island. I know that would be where I would go. My ex-husband is French Canadian and I know that if he were to go to Canada, there is where he would go. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew giveaway and giving all of us a chance to win the $50.00 gift card to go fabric shopping. Very generous giveaway on your part”

I have emailed Sandra. I agree… Prince Edward Island is one of the top places to see in Canada. I have been there three times and once was for my honeymoon. 🙂

*** This Giveaway is now Closed. Thank you to all who entered. ***

It’s Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day (well, Giveaway week). Yay! A much anticipated event in sewing and blogland.

If you haven’t been to my blog before – Welcome! And if you have – Welcome back! I am a Canadian Quilter, military wife and Mom to two kids (expecting my third this fall). I LOVE quilting! I can’t stop thinking about it so that is why my blog is called “Daydreams of Quilts.” I currently work full time at a Fire Hall as an administrative assistant but will be back to stay-at-home Mom at the end of June.

I thought long and hard about what my giveaway prize would be this time around. I know for myself there are some lovely bundles over at Westwood Acres that I am dying to buy. So I am giving away a $50 gift card to Westwood Acres.

Westwood Acres is my current favorite online shop. I have bought most of my fabric from this shop this year. (I am going to do a giveaway featuring a Canadian online shop soon so stay tuned to my blog for that in the next month or so.)

To win this prize please leave a comment on this post telling me something you know about Canada, your favorite fact about Canada or your favorite place to visit in Canada. This giveaway is open to everyone. The Giveaway is open from May 12 – May 16 5:00 p.m. PST.

OPTIONAL BONUS ENTRIES:
After leaving your comment you can (if you wish) leave up to four additional comments telling me that you:
1. follow my blog and how you follow
2. follow me on Facebook
3. follow me on Instagram
4. follow me on Pinterest

I normally respond to all comments that are not “no-reply blogger” but will not be able to during this very busy time. I’m sure you understand. Have fun for Giveaway Day (week) and best of luck! Go back to Sew Mama Sew to enter more giveaways!!!

  1. Unfortunately all I know about Canada is I have relatives (distant) in Saskatuan (I know that is mispelled!) and they have wheat fields by the mile. I was up there when I was in third grade and thought it was great! And isn't the AAA team for the California Angels in Toronto?
    Found you on the Sew Mama Sew blog giveaway!

  2. I love Westwood Acres too! And I'm a Canadian quilter! Well I'm a displaced Aussie, who now calls Canada home! I'm living in crazy Montreal, but I can't wait to go travel the east a little. I want to go to Fogo Island Inn as soon as I save up! Cheers for the chance 🙂

  3. I live in Norway, but my son visited Canada 3 years ago, and celebrated his 18th birthday there. He had a great time.

  4. I have never been to Canada but would like to. I live in Georgia and it gets HOT here. Would love to see more snow!

    glazefamily3 AT gmail.com

  5. I hardly know anything about Canada, except that it is beautiful in pictures! I would love to get up there to visit one day. Amazing giveaway to a lovely shop, thanks!

  6. I don't know much about Canada, and I've never been there. I do know that they film lots of television shows there and that it is beautiful.

    just in case: m3reyna at gmail dot com

  7. I have only been to one place in Canada, Banff National Park when I was in high school I took a summer trip with my sister & grandparents…it was GORGEOUS! Thanks for a chance to win!

  8. I love the beautiful British Columbia! Especially Vancouver Island! Well, that's kinda the only place in Canada that I've ever been in! I noticed that a lot of Canadian will say "eh?" in the end of questions 😉

  9. Such a great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win. I know very little about Canada but I've met some lovely Canadians over the interwebs!

  10. I'm from Canada, so it feels a bit like cheating answering anything here 😀 Well… to pick just one random fact: one of the former capitals of the NorthWest Territories was Battleford, Saskatchewan. (Which, incidentally, is where I'm from originally. And which is likely the only reason I know this – we had a History of the Battlefords class in Junior High.)

    (clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com)

  11. I've been to Calgary, and to Banff–the water there is just gorgeous blue! So amazing. Here, in New Mexico (US), it's almost always brown.

  12. Well, I used to know the Canadian national anthem! When I was little, we lived on a Canadian Air Force Base in Europe and I attended 2nd and 3rd grade at the school on base 🙂 My 5 year old son wears his Canadian Air Force flight suit (that used to be my little brother's) on a weekly basis, if not more. I prefer the blue to the American's olive green!

  13. Hi from a fellow Canadian. I live in Beautiful BC…and its my absolute favorite place in the world! (well..maybe i love Mexico more during the winters lol).

    I would love to visit Montreal one day…and the Maritimes 🙂

    Thank you for the very generous giveaway!

  14. I'm from Vancouver, living in Chicago now. Fun fact about Vancouver that no one here seems to know: it doesn't really snow there. :p and when it does, the whole city shuts down. People here think that all of Canada is freezing cold in the winter, lol.

  15. Thank you for such a generous giveaway, fellow Canadian! One of my favourite things about our country is our quiet patriotism — I'm sure you know what I mean:) Cheers!

  16. I'm a Canadian too! Originally from Saskatchewan, I'm now living in Ontario for school. Saskatchewan has the most beautiful skies.

  17. Hi! I've never been to Canada. However, a trip is planned to go to Niagra Falls this summer and will cross over to Canadian side during this trip. I know the Maple Leaf is important to you!! 🙂

  18. I know Canada is just north of Minnesota. My favorite places to visit are the Peace Gardens and the town of Boissevain to see the murals. Both are close to where my husband grew up in Bottineau, North Dakota.

  19. I was fortunate enough to travel through Canada when I was in high school. I have vague memories of the beauty, the signs being metric and some people speaking French, which I thought was super cool!

  20. When I was in high school I had a crazy obsession with Canada because I like hockey. Oh, to be a kid… but I'm really excited to be heading to Vancouver for vacation next week! I could spend DAYS in Stanley Park!

  21. maple syrup … you just have to love pancakes with maple syrup …something not so obvious – there was a huge struggle getting a new Canadian Librarian/Archivist, last thing I knwo they were unhappy about the appointed person not having any subject matter related education or experience …

  22. I knw virtually nothing about Canada except what my BIL has told me. I know that the Canadian military, including my BIL, won a Nobel Peace Prize for their peacekeeping actions in Sarajevo.

  23. I've never been to Canada, really all of my Canadian knowledge comes from a work friend who is Canadian. I want to go to Banff sometime, but haven't made it there.

  24. One thing I know about Canada is that they have a much better view on Niagara Falls than the US does. Thanks for the chance to win.

  25. Wow, what a lovely giveaway. They have some great bundles at Westwood acres 🙂 Umm, I've never been to Canada, but I have some some gorgeous photos of the mtns/forests there. Just lovely. Thanks for a great giveaway.

  26. My husband and I were fortunate to do a New England Fall cruise which stopped at three ports in Canada. It was beautiful. We have a favorite memory of pulling away from port on a foggy afternoon with a lone bagpiper who played until we were out of sight. He was freezing cold and it was a haunting and wonderful experience! Thanks for the giveaway!

  27. Victoria has my heart! My husband and I spent many weekends wandering around when we lived in Port Townsend, WA. . .it was a favorite little getaway for us! Thanks for the chance to win!!

  28. I've only been to Whistler, but I'd love to see more of Canada — Montreal, Nova Scotia, Alberta. Whe I was travellling in Europe many, many years ago, I met a few Canadians who were among the nicest people I have ever met.

  29. Greetings from Winnipeg. I actually hold a Canadian Studies degree… ack! I know so much about Canada! So we could be here forever talking about all the fun facts I have nestled in my noggin. But instead I'll just cop out and tell you where I grew up – Lethbridge Alberta. Random facts about complete strangers on the Internet…. yay lucky you!

  30. I have a dear friend in Canada (Ontario) who keeps telling me how cooooold the winters are. And if I ever had the chance to visit Canada, then it would be the Niagara falls 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!

  31. We live fairly close to Canada, and are even closer to the border when visiting relatives in Bellingham. We like to hop over the border to White Rock, BC. A Pacific ocean beach town!

  32. I honeymooned in Quebec City and visited Montreal many times while growing up. Being from New England, I try to only buy VT or NH maple syrup though.

  33. Cool, thanks for the chance! I love the traditional music and dancing from the Ottawa Valley, Quebec, PEI, Nova Scotia…fabulous stuff!

  34. I've never been to Canada but I always think it must be similar to my own country (Belgium), we also have two languages, one of them is French also…thanks for the giveaway, Westwoodacres is one of my own favourite shops as well!

  35. I love Canada who is a neighbor to us living in Michingan! I love to visit and Montreal is one of my favorite places! thank you!

  36. I visited Quebec a few years ago for work and look forward to visiting again on holidays sometime son and getting more time to really explore and sightsee.

  37. I don't know too much about canada….my favorite author lives there, Canada is considered nationally bilingual (french and english, although I think it's limited to a geographical area…). Um, I know the crime is really low per capita, and it seems to have a great healthcare system. I think that's all I got. O.o

  38. One of my best friends from college was from Canada! When she got married I got to see Manitoba at Christmas time. I think I lived in my wool coat. Good memories for sure!

  39. we were talking about Canada the other day at the dinner table and my youngest (8) pipes up, "I know a fact about Canada! …. It starts with C!"
    I've only been to a few parts and loved it. I think the Native Canadian exhibits have been my favorite because of the differences from teh ones in the SW of USA

  40. When I was a teenager my family, went on a road trip that included canada. Of course due to my age at the time I esp remember the handsome mounties;)

  41. Whenever someone comments on my last name….Lanouette….I tell them it is French Canadian. My husbands family is from Canada. It is so much fun listening to people trying to pronounce it.

  42. I know this about Canada: An awesome lady (you) lives there and you just introduced me to the wonderfulness that is Westwood Acres!!! Wow, what an awesome site. I am new to sewing and quilting and am still finding awesome things like Westwood thanks to wonderful people like you!
    amy.forkner(at)gmail(dot)

  43. I've only been to Canada once. I travelled all the way from Scotland and the first shop I went into the lady that worked there was from my Mum's small town in Scotland! Oh, and I got a guy playing bagpipes to play Flower of Scotland for me 🙂

  44. How can I pick just one fact when I'm Canadian? I've lived in BC, Alberta, Ontario, and NS. I've been in every province except NFLD but no territories. 8(

  45. I grew up about 60 miles south of the Canadian border in Idaho and I always loved heading north and visiting Ainsworth hot springs when I was a kid.

  46. I know that lot of people have major misconceptions about Canada (whats all aboot the cold, Eh?) which I mostly blame on television and movies even though soo many of them are filmed here 🙂

  47. I know that several years ago, we spent 2 weeks traveling through the Canadian Rockies with friends, and we all agreed that is was the most beautiful vacation we ever had. Hope we will be able to do it again some time.

  48. So many great things I can say about Canada…like the fact that it's home to Anne of Green Gables and the Yarn Harlot! When my now husband and I were dating, we did a 2-week road trip/camping trip through British Columbia and Alberta, visiting four different Canadian national parks, and I think that still ranks as my favorite vacation ever – friendly people and unbeatable scenic beauty. Thanks for the giveaway!

  49. I've been to Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies several times. Love the LDS temples in Calgary and Cardston. So beautiful.

  50. I have a favorite memory of Canada…we crossed from Detroit to Windsor and I was so excited when we stopped(or at least slowed down) when the front of the car was in Canada and the back was in the USA. OK, not that exciting but I was a little kid and the memory has hung on!!!!!

  51. Hmmm. I think my favorite thing about Canada is my uncle and cousins in Toronto. I don't get to go often but remember it to be beautiful.
    Thanks for the chance.

  52. The only place I have visited in Canada is Montreal and it's been a long while so it is time to go back.. Also, one of my favorite stories of all time, Anne of Green Gables, takes place in Canada so I've always wanted to visit PEI.

  54. I have never been to Canada, but hope to get there some day! So unfortunately I do not know anything other than the beauty I have seen in photos. Thank you for the chance to win an awesome gift certificate.

My hubby is military and I am a stay at home momma to a little girl that just turned two and a baby boy that just turned 10 months!

  63. Hello! I live in Gatineau, Quebec, just across the river from Ottawa 😉 I was raised in Montreal and I travelled here and there in Quebec and Ontario. I have visited Canmore, but I still have lots to see! I would be happy visiting any place that is new to me, if I have to make a choice I would say the Maritimes because my boyfriend's bother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew (expected in June!) live in Nova Scotia. We don't get to see them very often and it would be nice to go and visit.

  64. I am a new follower and I am glad to have discovered this blog via the giveaway week.

  77. Okay, so you're gonna totally laugh at my answer, but one thing I like about Canada is that my current favorite show (The Murdoch Mysteries) is based there. I know, lame. But I "do" love the show 🙂

  90. I don't know much about Canada, as I live in England and can't travel that far. But my absolute favorite thing about Canada is maple syrup. My mum always had a bottle hidden in the back of the cupboard, and my sister and I were banned from touching the bottle. I am now an addict myself.

  100. I went on a camping trip with my family 20 years ago, we visited Calgary, Banff, Whistler and Victoria Island. So much natural beauty in Canada.

I live on Vancouver Island in the fabulous province of British COlumbia where wherever you look there is stunning natural beauty – mountains trees and water in the form of lakes, sea, rivers and glaciers. I have lived in San Francisco – beautiful, and I have lived in England – beautiful, and I have lived in Ottawa – beautiful city, BUT by far British Columbia is the most beautiful place I have ever lived and will not be leaving.
    Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric.

  113. When I was in school in Michigan we used to go South to Canada for some wonderful dinners in Windsor. But I think Niagra on the Lake and Campobello Island are a toss up for my favorite places.

  114. Well this always makes me happy to visit Canada. The quarter pounders at McDonald's tastes a bit more like sausage for some reason. I try to get one every time I'm over the border because I find it so mystifying!

  115. I am Canadian and there is plenty that I know about our beautiful country, but most significant is how friendly we are!! Thanks for the chance!!

  116. I grew up in North New Jersey so Niagara Falls was the only part of Canada that I have been to. Then I moved to Alaska and Canada was right across the border again 🙂

  117. I visited Vancouver several years ago. It was lovely. I loved the beauty and the international urban culture was great. I had my first sushi there!

  118. We visited Montreal a few years back and loved our time there. People are so kind and food was so memorable that we long to return there soon. Thank you very much for offering this very generous giveaway.

  119. I've only been to Canada a couple of times. The Niagra Falls are great of course. Climbed up that tall tower in Toronto too – don't like heights much! Thanks!

  120. We live in NY so we get to visit Canada fairly often, but I would say Gananoque (sp) is my favorite. We love the St Lawrence Sea Way and all the islands up there.

  121. I work for a company that has a few retail stores in Canada. It is interesting calling the Quebec store and listening to a French greeting (and trying to interpret the French on the Electronic Journal records), me speaking in English, and the manager coming on also speaking English. They are a fun group to work with.

  122. OH, I was blessed enough to live in TO, ON for almost a year! I love TO, because so many people walk to so many places, and there is such awesome mass transit for the really long distances! 🙂

  124. I visited Butchart Gardens on Victoria Island when I was young, and fell in love with the enchanting grounds there. I would love to go back someday!

  125. I went to this awesome fudge shop in Niagra Falls (like 10 years ago, not sure if it's even still there). That's my favorite place in Canada 😉

  126. When i was younger i used to live near the border to bc and my friends and i would go there all the time for mcdonalds and trail. We were from a podunk town so it was a big deal for us.

  127. My family went to Canada when I was just 8 to visit Niagara Falls, which was wonderful, however the thing I remember the most is the pizza we ate. When it came out to the table it was as big as the table, we had no idea it was going to be so huge! I will never forget that as long as I live. Thanks for the chance to win!

  128. What I love about Canada is the fall colours, first snow, hot summer days, Canada Day fireworks, Sunday brunch (England is not good at this!), and I could go on. Basically it is everything I miss about Canada too. Over 12 years since I've been home! Thanks for the chance to win.

  129. I have only ever been to Quebec City in Canada but I loved it! I was surprised that there are so many people living there who only speak French and not English!

  130. I have cousins that live in Montreal and I love to visit there. It is such a pretty city, especially the older section. Thanks for the chance to win.

  131. My first trip to Canada was as a child with my family and the only places we went was McDonald's and K-mart! We have those in the states! I haven't let them live this down. They aren't the adventurous type. 😉 Someday I'll come back to explore.

  132. Born and raised in Utah, but got married and then moved to Fort McMurray, AB in October. I've never known such cold! But I LOVE Waterton. It's beautiful!

  133. My fact: the West Edmonton Mall houses the worlds largest indoor amusement park! I've been wanting to go visit there for almost 14 years, I think I'll have to convince my husband it's about time.

  134. I'm born and raised Canadian and would love to see both the west and the east coast someday! (i'm in Ontario!) Thanks for the chance!
