Win a Janome 6600 NOW

TIME'S UP. WINNER OF THE JANOME 6600 SEWING MACHINE WILL BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW. GOOD LUCK TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.

So this is it. The moment you all have been waiting for. I'd like to think that the quilt along and all the giveaways along the way have been fun. And educational. And worthwhile. But let's face it. They don't mean squat in comparison to this.

I know things people. I've been to college. And around the block a time or two.

I've got my finger on the pulse of the human spirit.








You have been waiting for the mac daddy. And today is the day.




Leave a comment to this post for your chance to win the miraculous Janome 6600.


It is fantastically amazing. I love it so much that I missed it while on vacation. For real.

Some of my favorite features are:

-- the independent motor for bobbin winding
-- speed control lever
-- the start/stop button
-- the almighty automatic thread cutter!!! (can't I get a Amen on that one?)
-- extra high pressure foot lift
-- knee lift!!

Oh. I. Could. Go. On. For. Days.

What? You don't want me to go on for days? Hmmm.

Ok. Well, let me just summarize by saying that I love the Janome 6600 because it allows me to make quilts with absolute ease. Like this.




::Deep cleansing breath::





Leave a comment to this post for a chance to win the Janome 6600. Only one comment per person. International entries welcome. Contest will run from now (June 29, 2009) until next Monday, July 6, 2009 at 6:00pm EDST US. A winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 7th.

Good luck!

Liz said...

Thanks for the chance to win an awesome sewing machine. After recently taking my first quilt class I learned that my sewing machine isn't really made for quilting. Winning this machine would make quilting so much easier and save me from having to convince my husband that I need a new machine. XX crossing my fingers till the 6th.

What a fabulous give-away and quilt-along! And yes, we all want the sewing machine. But we also got a great quilt out of the deal too. I used up some fabrics that I had been hording for a few years, so it was good for me to finally make a quilt with them.

Rock on, Dana!

Thank you so much for doing this quilt along. It's been such a huge help with my first quilt. I can't believe you're giving away that machine. You're truly generous!

I would love this machine. I joined the quilt-a-long, but have been unexpectedly away from home (and therefore my sewing space) since it started- I completely understand what you mean about missing your sewing machine. And I'd miss one like this even more.

mckie2 said...

Oh man - what a wonderful sewing machine. Thanks for such a generous giveaway.

Miss Mary said...

Dana,

First off, thanks so much for this incredible quilt along! I have learned so much! And you have been so generous with all your giveaways! Thanks so much--it really has been such a pleasure reading along with you! I think I might scream if I win this, and jump up and down and roll around on the floor, and completely freak out. If I win, I may have to buy a lotto ticket too, because it would be so crazy to be so lucky!! Crossing my fingers! And toes!

ladmquilter said...

I am keeping my fingers crossed I really, really want to win this machine. Thanks for all the work you put into this quilt along I really appreciate it. It was so much fun seeing and reading the comments of all of the other quilters. I hope you do another quilt along soon. Win or Lose I had a great experience I would have never tried free motion quilting without this and I am so glad that I did.

Please pick me!!

Thanks Dana

I have really enjoyed the progress on this quilt. The pictures have been great. The sewing machine would be icing on the cake.

retirednana2008 said...

I've really enjoyed the quilt along and kinda hate to see it end. It was such a great opportunity to learn new things, and get questions answered by more experienced quilters. The 'icing on the cake' would be the selection of my name as the winner of this great machine!!

Gail said...

Dana, I have had a very fun time working on my quilt, despite the fact that my sewing machine ended up at the repair shop 2 times during the last 6 weeks.It appears that I could really use the new sewing machine. This was such a fun idea!! I am very pleased with how my quilt is turning out! Blessings to you! Gail

Tonya said...

HMaas said...

Oh boy.. oh boy.. oh boy.. that machine looks divine!!! I can't believe you are giving this away - I have been following along this whole time - but it stills seem unreal that someone will actually win that baby. Love it!! Love you!!
Thanks for giving us the confidence to participate in your quilt along - it has been an adventure I will surely try again and again. Cheers

Trish said...

This would be the prize of the century! I wouldn't be mad if you picked me :)

Sarah said...

Hmm, I have been dreaming about a new sewing machine. My sear's special from college gets the job done, but so do scissors versus a rotary cutter. And I am very fond of my rotary cutter.

Rita said...

I don't win! Honestly, it's not even funny. I never win anything. But I'm going to leave a comment for fun and because I enjoy your blog.

Sheree said...

Well, I heard about your giveaway, but thought I had to do the quilt along to participate in the giveaways. Soooo glad I was wrong! I finally read through a bunch of posts and say your comment that you don't have to have done the quiltalong to enter to win....so I am entering to win. I would love a chance to win...it would help me so much as I try to prepare for my booth at Quilt Market in the Fall.

Thanks for the chance to win!!!!

Anonymous said...

Oh, it would be amazing to win this! I even bought some of the flights of fancy fabric to put into my quilt just to get an extra chance at winning! I'm still quilting away (making a king sized bed quilt) but at least you got me started!

Kathryn said...

Is is Christmas already? For a devoted patchworker/sewer and Janome lover, I would think all my Christmases had come at once if I won a Janome. What would I say to my old faithful Janome, that has served me well and faithfully for 12 years? Never mind, I'll think of something.
Cheers

If only I could be so lucky to win this. (I'm sure we are ALL thinking that!!!) I just can't imagine the improvement this would be over my cheap Wal-Mart model that I am coaxing to sew. I just am so excited to get to participate in my first quilt-a-long ever...I think I'm addicted! = )

Thanks for the many weeks of fun!

I have enjoyed the quiltalong so much and feel like I'm a part of a really cool community. I'm sewing my binding together and can't wait to see my finished quilt. I almost feel like I'm having a baby or something!

Dana, thanks so much for starting thing and thanks to all the experienced quilters on the boards that really helped out a newbie! I'm hooked and hope I win . . . but even if I don't I'm a quilter for life now.

Of course I would love to win this machine!!! I wish I could have one like it because I need a better machine to make these quilts easier on me! I'm still working on piecing my top, but it's OK - I've had a REALLY busy couple of weeks, and I think I'll send it out to be quilted since my machine can't do it!

Leslie said...

Such a generous giveaway! Oh the *thinks I can think* to sew -- thanks for sharing this fab Janome with one of us lucky seamsters :-)

Amy said...

Here's hoping that I am the lucky winner! Thanks for doing this Dana, it has been so much fun! You Rock!

I am excited too that I get the extra entries for using Paula Prass fabric and posting pictures in the Flickr group!

Now I just have to cross my fingers for a week :)

Oh I love Janome! You are so generous to give this lovely lady away!

I beg, plead, and may resort to bribery for her! :P

Wow! You know how to make the heart flutter. As would everyone here, I would love to be the proud owner of that machine. I love Janomes, swear by them. "I'm gonna love him, and squeeze him and call him George" (make that Georgina).

Thanks so much for the fun quilt along. I am a little behind everyone else. I am on vacation this week and hope to finish before the end of my vacation.

Thanks again!

This is the machine I've been dreaming about because it has everything I want in a sewing machine. Thanks for the chance to win one and for sharing your quilting knowledge.

I didn't do the same quilt as you, but the quilt along motivated me to sew my first quilt ever.

A new machine would be a great companion as I embark on my new adventure- quilting.

How can I tell you how very clear and detailed and "written just for me!" your tutorials have been?! Thank you so much! I sure hope I win - I'm not sure if it helps or not, but my birthday is in 3 days! That would be a present, huh?!
