Please enter my name for the December draw for a Janome sewing machine
-
What a wonderful Christmas present a new Janome would be.
-
Love to win this nice Janome

I could do with a lighter machine to take to groups/classes. Love Jamome machines.

What wonderful news today! I am beyond thrilled to win this! After what turned out to be a dismal year in health for our family, ( including a spell in A&E for me-and believe me I never want to see my heartbeat do that again-and a nasty accident for my SIL which impacted on their whole family, ) such great sewing news.
I shall really look forward to taking this to quilting every fortnight. It will be much lighter than the behemoth I drag at the moment. I haven’t had the energy to sew for so many months, but this gem will really encourage me.
Thank you UKQU. And thank you to your kind sponsors too! -
Happy Christmas to all x

I am the luck winner of the wonderful September machine and I’d like to thank whoever picked my name as they’ve really made my year. I feel overwhelmed at the moment as I’ve never won anything in all of my 70 years and a new machine, well, what can I say… all you sewers/ quilters will know exactly how I feel about that. My condolences to all of you that didn’t win but good luck for the next draw.
