Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

Giveaway (a quick one)

Well, the podcast is still late, so I better have a giveaway to distract you! Chronicle Books sent me this craft pad of iron-on transfers from Sukie. And it’s ten kinds of awesome.

There are 30 pages of iron-ons here, which range from the unbelievably cute…

…To the rather odd.

You can transfer ‘em to tees, onsies, totes, linens, and whatever else you can dream up. Those owls are killing me!

—————————————-

Okay, so – let’s keep this one short, so I’ll have time to ship it. Leave a comment on this post, telling me how you’d use this bad-boy, by noon PST tomorrow, December 9th. We’ll do a random drawing.

I’ll ship to the winner on December 10th, so most US locations should be able to receive it in time for Christmas. (International readers, you’re most welcome to enter, but I can’t make any promises on holiday delivery.)

Now – if you don’t win, or you just want to score one of these pads, the Chronicle Friends and Family Sale has been extended through Wednesday. 35% off, and free shipping! Just enter the coupon code FRIENDS at checkout.

UPDATE: Congrats to Lynn Judge! I just emailed you for your address. Woo-Hoo!

    I have a pile of clothes waiting to be altered (ala Alabama Stitch Book) and these will definitely be useful. I’m thinking an adorable corset t-shirt adorned with woodland creatures and a mushroom purse.

  • Now that I have a sewing machine, I’d incorporate the designs into sewing projects! ..and probably a few tees. :oD

  • I see the hand with the skulls as a t-shirt for my daughter, affectionately nicknamed “Zombiegirl!”

    This is awesome, thanks.

    Pick me, Monty!

  • This rocks! I would use these all over the place for Christmas – on bags, Ts, scarves… mmm – I hope I win it!!!

  • Oooo, so cool. I would use this thing to decorate just about everything- bags, shirts, other clothes. Those designs which fit someone else perfectly would go straight to the Christmas crafting pile. The owls and perhaps some of the other woodland designs would be integrated into this whole barn-owl themed outfit I’m working on.

    I bet I’d go through them rather quickly.

    What I would do is: take an old linen sheet, cut it into squares, iron picture by picture on the squares, one on each, shuffle it, think it over, write a story following the pictures on the squares, trim the squares and have a nice soft picture book.

  • They’d fast become linen gift tags, pressie bags, mobile for my little lady, possible clay transfers, a t-shirt for the man and friends for all the family…

  • I think the zombie fingers would be great on napkins. All those little zombie faces coming face to face with you when you wipe your mouth- how funny!

    Some people at my church were just talking about getting a craft group together. I think I’d use them to help jump-start that. Thanks.

  • Oh too cute! I have a 3 year old grandson and I’d be putting them on t-shirts, pants pockets, backpack, etc. I also quilt, so they might just end up in a quilt square or ten!

  • I’m still kinda new to sewing, but I love love LOVE making all kinds of bags and totes. These would make the most perfect flourishes to my bags!

  • I love these! I would put the little creatures symmetrically on a cardigan, rockabilly style. I’d use some of the more odd images in my textile collage quilt projects. Woodland creature pillowcases! Iron them on to fabric, then stuff like a little plushy and make a woodland creature mobile!!
    Thanks for posting about her book – I hadn’t seen it before! hurray!

  • I would use a ton of them for onesies and such since almost everyone I know is popping out babies! They are great!–both babies and the iron-ons.

    Diane-
    I’m sorry, but I would be exceptionally greedy and keep these for something for myself. After all of this Christmas crafting for everyone else, I need a treat, right?
    I would use them for a cute tote-to carry my knitting in, and I would use them on fabric for cards that I would give to only THE most special people.
    I would also use them as posts in my blog…because we can all use some crafty inspiration, right?
    Have a good one! (And pick me! Pick me!) LOL!

  • I would use them to make onesies for our bun in the oven (due January 31st) and fun tees for our 2-year old. I’d probably have to embellish a bag for myself as well–I wouldn’t be able to resist!

  • I have been stalking this book on various webshops! I would put the hedgehogs on a cute apron and the owls on a scarf. Definitely would make a t-shirt for my boyfriend with the weirdest of pictures and use a few as christmas ornaments!!

    Keeping my fingers crossed or else I will have to cave in and make a purchase for myself! Thanks
