THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. DEADLINE HAS PASSED. STOP ENTERING!
I got this idea in my head this past weekend, and I just couldn't let it go. At the last magazine I worked for, I used to do some limited graphics work, mostly in InDesign but also a bit of Photoshop, creating ads for people who couldn't afford a professional. As with nearly everything I do, I taught myself and had (and still have) no idea what I was doing. Still, I churned out some okay stuff. I mean, nobody sued or anything, so it must have been acceptable.
I've never been a big novelty t-shirt fan, but my friend Amy, who is into knitting, has some really cool ones and I thought it would be neat to have some of my own for quilting. And I have done some searches, but never quite found anything that suited my sense of humor.
So, I made my own.
I have opened a little Cafe Press store with a selection of 3 t-shirts, 2 coffee mugs, and a tote bag. Here are the designs:
This is available on a v-neck t-shirt and 2 sizes of mug:
This is on a regular t-shirt and a tote bag:
And this is on a pink t-shirt:
I have kept everything at $19.99 or less, so any sale would net me a buck or three. And to get the ball rolling, let's do a giveaway! The winner will get one item from the Bitchy Stitcher Cafe Press store, so go visit and see what you like best (not all designs are available on all products, because they're stingy when you use the free store option). Then leave a comment here and tell me which one you would like if you win. See - easy peasy; I didn't even make you jump through hoops for this one.
Deadline for leaving comments is one week from today - Monday, May 18 at midnight e.s.t. One entry per person. Winner will be chosen at random and will be announced on Wednesday, May 20.
Good luck - and please be nice if you think these totally suck.
UPDATE: Yes, this is open to overseas residents as well.
Omg, these are sooo cool! I love the tote bag the most! But, as a great grandmother, I think the don't drink and quilt logo suits me the most, lol! Nope, the tote bag. Keep up the funny stuff, Elaine
ReplyDeleteI love the "don't drink and quilt" logo, but I'm not into white t-shirts -- so I'll go for the smaller mug. Cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteHehe - I like the "don't drink & quilt" - I'm pretty sure my friends would totally make fun of me for that one (quilting is my "grandma" hobby). :)
ReplyDeletelove the don't drink and quilt mug... mostly because it's true lol. Have you ever quilted while drinking? It's not pretty...I don't recommend it. If I won I would like the large mug please.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, I love the, "Don't Drink and Quilt." I'd take either mug or t-shirt if I win and purchasing the other or, if I don't win, I'll probably be purchasing both. It's so me, except I am sure my ideas are "totally fab" b/c I drink and quilt! Wine oh wine... I have a T-shirt that says, "Out of Wwine, Life Sucks." It's a spin off of life is good. Anyway, I digress, love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and a great idea! Is it open for overseas too? Love the T-shirt with the Don't drink and quilt logo. The mugs are great too.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the I am a bitchy stitcher t-shirt the best.
ReplyDeleteI love the Don't drink and quilt t-shirt! Great job!

Heh. I'm with most of the others -- "Don't Drink and Quilt" is hysterical! I'd love that t-shirt. I can just see the other ladies in my small quilt group laughing when I show up to a meeting it one! (And, the 19th is my birthday, so I'd love to win as a b-day present. Please? ;) )

Too Cute! I especially like the Don't Drink and Quilt... I sometimes attend recovery meetings with my daughter and that teeshirt would be a scream to wear to an NA or AA meeting (and at her home meeting, they all know I quilt!)... But I really think I'd love the large mug, if I won! Love your blog! Keep writing!!
