The gals over at Totally Stitchin' have a very cool contest going on
right now. If you could use a shiny new sewing machine -- and we could all use
a shiny new sewing machine, now couldn't we? -- then check this out.

The contest is called Frank-N-Tote, which is totes adorbs. The goal is
to create a Halloween-inspired totebag that shows off your embellishment
abilities. Using fabric, embroidery, beads, paints, fusible webbing, etc., the
Totally Stitchin' people want to see your best work. From what I can tell by
reading the rules, the more creative (and grand) you get with your project, the
better chances you'll have in the contest.
And yes, the two (!) winners will receive a brand new Grace sewing
machine, which is pretty amazing. You should do this.
