Today is the first day of my birthday month, and to celebrate with all of you, there will be a giveaway every week in July here at Poppyprint. Stuff is piling up, so I figured the best way to get through all that I have to share is to begin today with a thanks for all of my followers. I first mentioned I'd do a giveaway when that nifty follower matrix over there reached 500, but you've all gone wild (aw, shucks) and now I'm over 550, so let's get on with it!
I made this great thread catcher to share with one lucky reader.
I've been hanging on to this pear fabric for ages, waiting for just the right coordinating print. Finally the Metro Living circles in yellow came along and bingo, everyone was happy.
That's not all. The thread catching bag will come stuffed with all of this, too.
Some spring frames, a clip-on retractable scissor holder, super adorable It's a Hoot charm pack, plus a hunk of my hand-printed Poppyprint on Kona black. Woohoo!
So, if you follow along here (or are a brand new follower) please leave one comment (with a way for me to contact you) for your entry. This giveaway will be open until Thursday, July 7th at 6:00 p.m. PST. On Friday, I'll announce the winner, AND the next week's fabulous giveaway.
It's a month long party and of course YOU are invited!! Thanks for making my tiny little niche on the net so much fun. I truly am having a ball with all of you.

Hey there:) I follow you with NetNewsWire. You know, it's kinda funny - I didn't understand the whole thread catcher bit for the longest time. Not until I really started sewing. And now I'd love to have one! :D
Congratulations, Krista! On your many followers, on your birthday this month and on your awesome Blog.
I have been following for a long time and would LOVE to win your goodies.
I'm off to watch my granddaughter dance at our local CANADA DAY celebrations, so Happy Canada Day to you too.
HAPPY CANADA DAY! As a neighbor in Washington State I have to say it is such a wonderful day to celebrate as it is so close to our Independence Day.
I love your gift package and would love to win. I have been following your blog and feel like we are sitting down for tea and chatting away. Coongratulations on that fabulous 550 number!
Happy Birthday month to you!! I was just thinking yesterday I need a thread catcher (as I threw thread into my recycling can) how perfect. What a nice way to share your birthday with everyone.
I have been wanting a thread catcher, but knew I'd never want to make one. I'd love to win this givewaay (who wouldn't?) and want to congratulate you on now having 555 followers.
Already a follower- one of the 555!!! Congrats and thanks for the giveaway!
Woo hoo! 555 followers? That's awesome!
Your threadcatchers are amazing and I'd love to win. Have you seen the state of my sewing room? I'm sure if my threads had a place to go, the rest of the mess would clean itself up too. Right?
I love seeing your blog pop up in my reader!
Well Happy Birthday! So sweet of you to think of us. Thanks for the awesome inspiration you give us all.
I am a follower and I'd love to have the thread catcher! Happy Canada Day from Chilliwack, BC.

Happy Birthday, Krista! This is the first day of my birthday month as well. I'm a very happy follower and hope you really enjoy your birthday month. I think birthdays are best spread out over at least a week and preferable a month...

Oh yeah, I am a follower.

I follow. Thanks for a chance to win.
Happy Birthday and Happy Canada Day! I'm so glad to have found your blog this winter. Thanks!
Hi Krista, I have been following you for a while, love all your creative energy. I would love to win the thread catcher, as I still haven't gotten around to making one for myself!
Happy July Birthday! I too am a July girl and would love a chance to win your lovely thread catcher!
Would you believe that I don't (and have never) actually had a thread catcher of my very own? I have always used whoever's was sitting next to me. Maybe I'll win this one!

Happy Canada Day! I really want to win this giveaway. I love that thread catcher and everything it will be stuffed with!
Love the thread catcher and other goodies too, but more important is happy birthday wishes to a fine quilter.

Happy Canada Day!
Happy Birthday month! :)
Thanks for the chance to win the great prizes!
I am a follower
Another July birthday friend here -- a new follower who LOVES your creative ideas! Happy day.
550 followers is amazing! But that means 550+ happy birthday wishes will be coming your way! Hope you have a lovely birthday! And thanks for this opportunity. I so need a thread catcher (my family room is a mess from my errant threads!), but what is a spring frame--I don't think I've ever seen one before?
Thanks for the giveaway. That is an adorable thread catcher. :) Oh yes and I do follow you.
The only problem with 550 followers is that it lowers my chance of winning your cute thread catcher! Fingers crossed!
I cannot imagine a more wonderful giveaway to have something created by someone as talented as you! Thanks for the chance!
Love that fabric!
you realize that pears and I are great friends. And I constantly have thread all over my floor. :) I love your poppyprint fabrics. I was just telling my mom about them today as she chopped off all her dead poppy heads. I'm going to have to reread your post last year and make some myself!
hiyall,
being new at machine quilting, this thread catcher would come in handy! (mauh) Liz
P.S. I have put you on my 'blogs I like to stalk' list!
Happy Canada Day Krista and to B,T & D as well!! Congrats on now 558 followers and growing. I already have one of your catchers so if the random dohickey picks me please ask it to pick again. The yellow circles are perfect with the pears!
So cute! Love the yellow fabric.
Happy Canada Day. Those thread catchers are the best things. Thanks for the giveaway.
Love your thread-catchers, and while I've intended to make one of my own, I like yours better. I'd love the chance to win! Thanks for the opportunity!
Happy Birthday Month! Congratulations on the 559 and growing list of followers. The thread catcher is adorable.
Happy Canada Day! Love the thread catcher! Making one is on my "to do" list but really near the bottom...so if I could win one I could just cross that off my list ;0)
Happy Canada Day, I hope you had a great day. Thank you for having such a great giveaway.
Happy Canada Day, Krista!
Your thread catcher is so lovely and considering the thread trails I seem to leave throughout the house, this is something I should make; but I'd be happier to win yours. ;o) Thanks for a chance to win you generous givaway.

What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday; giving things away! I love the thread catcher and definitely could use one, the wheels on my sewing chair barely move from all the tread caught in them. Thanks for the giveaway, and, of course, I am a follower.
Happy Birthday month and Happy Canada Day, you look like you had a fun day. I am already a follower.
What a cute thread catcher Krista- I have often thought about making one However, it would be fun to win one too. Have a very Happy Birthday month too.
Warmest regards,
Anna
Very nice! Enjoy your celebrations! :)
I'm a follower and you're right, those two fabrics are so happy together!
I know this is from today and not yesterday, but I loved seeing the pictures from Canada Day! Yesterday, I was using my thread catcher that I made at one of your fabulous Quilting days years ago. But since I am always moving around to work on projects, and since I LOVE pear shapes (maybe it's because I relate the way people look like their dogs!) so I would like to leave a comment and put my name in the hat. Plus now I have left my first comment ever! Thanks
I am a regular follower. Thanks for a chance to win the cute thread catcher and goodies. LOVE the pears. Happy Canada day. Looks like a lot of fun in the sea of red.
Happy birthday to you, you live in a zoo, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too. XXX
I could need a pretty threadcatcher instead of the ugly plastic container... Happy Canada Day and birthday month!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH!
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
THANKS FOR SHARING!

Wishing you a month of Happy Birthday fun. Blogger says that I follow poppyprintcreates! Thanks for sharing something you made with others. alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com
What a great design for a thread catcher & full of goodies too.
Thanks for the chance to win one of these neat gifts.
Happy, Happy Birthday! And congrats on all of your much deserved success. I love your thread catcher!
I've been following unofficially for a while; now I'm an official follower. I was just thinking the other day that I need something to collect those pesky snipped threads in.
Happy belated Canada Day! I would live one of your thread catchers (plus that is one of my all-time favourite fabrics!). I subscribe to your blog via Google Reader.
I'm a new follower. ;-) I love orange! My sewing room (corner) needs a pop of color!
I'm a new follower. I really like this thread catcher and I'm in love with the metro living fabric. I wish I could afford to buy it in every color!
I'm having a ball being your follower too!!
Happy Canada Day!
Just love the colours of that thread catcher and I sew need one!
Happy Birthday Krista - love your blog, been following for a while. Thanks for the chance to win one of your sweet threadcatchers.
Happy Canada Day to you. I'm so glad I came across your blog. Besides a great giveaway, you have a very cool blog going on too. Since I started exploring blog land I've really been eyeing up the thread catchers. So much more adorable than a plastic bag. And the scissor retractor? Am I the only one who loses her scissors while sitting down and never getting up? And the charm pack? One of my favorite expressions is "What a hoot!" Thanks for the opportunity and have a great day!
What a great way to celebrate a birthday month. This is also my birthday month and I love the idea. Looks like all sorts of fun and I do enjoy reading about your adventures.
What an adorable thread catcher! This is such a great giveaway and Happy Birthday Month! =)
What a great birthday gift, it is better to give than receive. I am inspired to do the same thing. Love your use of color and great ideas
I'm a new follower and maybe winning this will keep my cats out of my thread trimmings!
I've always planned to make a thread catcher but have put it offand use a paper bag taped to my table. I sew need this one. Hope your Canada day was memorable. We had a bbq with friends and watched fireworks put on in the community.
Hugs
What fun! A very happy birthday. I love my thread catcher, it isn't as cute as yours but it sure gets a workout and it would be so great to have something at my cutting table for pins and too tiny to use scraps. Thanks.
Yay for July birthdays! mine's later this month too. I totally need a thread catcher because i pile up all my threads beside the machine and they often get stuck on something (like my sleeve). I guess i should make myself one if i don't win ;o)
Awesome. All these goodies are great. I've always wanted to make a little bag with a spring frame, but have never really followed through. Now I would need to!
And the thread catcher is very cute. Love the fabric. Oh and I'm a follower.
Happy Day of your Birth!
Found your blog in Quiters Home and fully understand why you were included. Love the thread catcher!
