To celebrate,
I'm having a fabulous GIVEAWAY, courtesy of Zipit!!!

*****THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*****

you're going to want to make lots of them.

I've been a Zipit customer for a long time.
Prices are fantastic, selection is awesome,
and shipping is quick.

Look at these awesome colors!


The zippers are nice and flat when they arrive,
not creased from packaging.
It's a small detail, but it adds to their appeal.


there are lots of ready-made assortments.


I love choosing my own color combinations,
using this chart...65 colors to choose from!!!



Here's a terrific palette of autumn colors...
just waiting to be made into back-to-school gifts!


I always keep the basic neutrals on hand, too.
It's so great to have zippers on hand,
and not need to go shopping before I start a project.


I see lots of great SALE prices over there at Zipit!
So even if you don't win,
you can get a LOT of gorgeous zippers
at a bargain price.


To enter the giveaway for a
$25 Gift Certificate to Zipit,

Then guess how many zippers I've got in MINE!


Don't worry...
the winner will be chosen at random.
I'm just trying to get you to make me laugh.

The giveaway will be open until midnight on Aug. 31, 2014.

The winner will be contacted by email,

  3. Oh, fun! I have a couple dozen zippers in my stash and I'm guessing you have around 50. lol Love the zippered pouch you made!

    ReplyDelete
  4. I just received my very first order from Zipit today so I have about 30 total in my stash. I am going to go out on a limb here and say you have over 100.

  5. Do I have to tell you how many zippers I have? Really? I have shopped with Jennifer from Zipit since she opened her store! She does a wonderful job with her zips andnd I love her zipper pulls! They add so much to my purses! Okay, I will tell you that I have around 200 zips....every color under the sun but I always have a zipper(or two ) when I need them. If I have this many I have no idea how many you have....maybe around the same number as I do? Everyone should check out Zipit....it is a great store!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I have a couple of regular zips and a huge big roll of a mad cut can come again zip. Its supposed to be cream but it is more the shade your underwear goes before you decide it needs chucked.

    It drives me bonkers as I had to go back to the shop to get staff to fit the zip pulls on it and the only time I used it the zip pull fell off. I'd love to win the prize and have real gorgeous colourful zips.

  7. I'm heading over to Zipit - these colors are gorgeous! I have 8 zippers right now but I think I better do some zipper stash building! Maybe you have 100?

  9. I have about 35 zippers, most of which were given to me and I've had for a while. I buy four or five in neutral colors to use when I think I'll be using zippers, but never have the length/color I really want, lol. You must have like 89 at least :)

  27. I have one zipper, and my guess is 25.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think I have 5 but none in those beautiful colors.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Zip It has been my favorite place to get those beautiful zippers, too! I love having all of the different colors... and when she sends them, they are all tied up so lovely with a ribbon! I started saving the cut off sections, and stapling a note to them with the color name and number. that way I know which ones I used when I reorder! There are like 5 or 6 different pinks and then the purples... etc. I probably have 145 of them....

  34. I don't have very many, about 8 at the moment. Recently I was looking for a bright pink zip in a shop here in Italy and I was told this colour does not exist, nobody makes it! I think I'm going to have to stock up at Zipit! No idea how many you might have... how about 222?!

    ReplyDelete
  35. 55 at this moment in my stash as I too love sewing/quilting totes, wallets, bags.
    Since you love zips like I, my guess is 903 in yours!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I haven't needed to purchase zippers in a long time, so I have only a dozen or so old zippers. These new zippers look great! I do have a roll of zipper-by-the-yard to replace the zipper on a bathrobe.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I have 8 zippers in my stash, I am guessing you have about 80 zippers? Too bad it wasn't jelly beans in a jar! :) jtraun(at)nelson-tel.net

    ReplyDelete
  41. Well, if I have 23 zippers in my stash (I think I need more - I seem to have used up all my neutrals), I'm guessing that you have either 3 (because you use your zippers) or 99 (because the zipit colours are all so lovely that you need to have at least one of every colour and a few spare!). I'm locking in 99!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am down to about 7 zippers currently. I love the double zipper pouch!!! I'll guess you have 47 zippers.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  54. I have about 5 or 6. I haven't really been collecting them, most of them were for a project that I later changed my mind about.

  63. The only zippers I have are ones I got from my mom when she quit sewing, probably about 12. I have checked out the Zipit site, but don't know which sizes I should get. Is there a tip on what size we should have in our stash? I think you have about 150.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I love the rainbow of colors! Shameful, I know, I have no zippers in my sewing basket. Sewing them intimidates me and lucky for me, I don't need them on quilts. LOL! Since you are the "Pretty Pouch Queen", my guess is you have 62 zippers in your collection. ~Shari

    ReplyDelete
  82. I have only about 10. After retirement (Dec. 1!!!!) I would like to try my hand at making pouches. I think they would be a great little item to take with my charity quilts to the Pediatric Infusion Therapy Unit (kids chemo) when I go for my follow-ups. Wouldn't that brighten some little brave person's day!

    ReplyDelete
  83. What a great giveaway! I just used my last zipper in a project a few days ago. I usually buy them as I need them and every time I'm surprised at how much they cost! I discovered Zipit recently and now I don't think I'll ever buy zippers from anyone else again! I love the selection and the incredible prices!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I have like 10 I normally buy them as I need them, but if I see them on sale I grab a few or if I buy them on the thrift store :) I guess you have like 45-70 zippers! lol

    ReplyDelete
  86. I maybe have 10 zippers, but I don't like any of them and have to keep going back to Joann to buy more. I'll have to give this shop a try!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I currently have ZERO zippers in my stash. Not much of a stash, huh? And I believe you have 213 zippers in your stash. Thx for the chance at an awesome giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Ha! I have about 20 I guess. But I used to have loads more. For you I guess 86?

    ReplyDelete
  89. I only have about 4 zippers. I'd guess you have about 100. I would love to win this for my friend, Rachel, who makes zippered pouches for World of Charity Stitching.

  93. Oh, gosh probably about 50 or so, but I swear I never have exactly the right color or size that I need lol!

  96. I have a very large shoe box stuffed with zippers..all lengths, colors and types. Always looking for them at thrift stores...people give them to me. I say you have 77 zippers

    ReplyDelete
  97. I've got about 20. You probably have about 143.

    ReplyDelete
  98. An assortment of various styles and sizes probably add up to more than 30 zippers but I imagine that you have a case of each color that you consider your "stash" so multiply 65 by the number of zippers in a case and that would equal your "stash"!

    ReplyDelete
  99. i have 27. I bet you have 127!

    ReplyDelete
  100. I have twelve. Do you have 200?

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'm actually just about to go place my first order from zip it. I have a huge bag of black zippers that I bought from our local consignment shop. They are about 8 inches and have Catalina brand pulls on them. There's over 100 and I paid $10 for them all. But sometimes you need pretty colors! I'm going to guess 175. Thanks for the giveaway!

  105. Well I'm the kind who buys bags of zippers when they're on sale (another website). So I have around 200. Yikes! I'm using them slowly though with toddler bags I'm making. So perhaps you have as many as me? LOL Never too many, huh? Thanks for the giveaway!
