Here at Connecting Threads, we love the holiday season! Our offices are decorated with shiny ornmanents, garland, and twinkling lights, and everyone's faces are smiling because Christmas is right around the corner.
One thing is certain, the Connecting Threads team is in the spirit of giving. We want to make someone's Christmas extra special this year, so we have partnered up with Arrow Cabinets and we're giving away a beautiful Sewnatra cabinet in your choice of White or Black! 
Besides being a cute cabinet, the Sewnatra offers most of the features that the larger cabinets have, but in a convenient compact size. When the cabinet is closed, the shuttered door gives the cabinet a cottage look that doubles as a beautiful piece of home furniture. When opened, the cabinet offers ample sewing space and great storage. We love this piece!
Regularly priced at $479.99, and on sale right now for $409.99, the Sewnatra is our biggest giveaway prize of the year. Now, as I mentioned above, the CT team are fully immersed in the Christmas spirit, and we want to make sure that everyone has a chance to win. Unfortunately, the Sewnatra cabinet can only be shipped to folks in the contiguous United States, so Connecting Threads is also offering two $20 gift cards to residents of the United States and Canada.
To be entered to win, all you need to do is leave us a comment below telling us one of your quilting goals for the new year, and whether you would like to win the cabinet in a Black or White finish. We will pick our winners on Monday, December 24th - just in time for Christmas!
Rules: One entry per person. No purchase necessary. The cabinet giveaway applies only to residents of the contiguous US. The gift card giveaway applies only to residents of the US and Canada. Comments must be made before 11:59pm on Sunday, December 23rd. We will select our winners on Monday, December 24th and announce them shortly thereafter. Comments MUST be made on this blog post to be counted. Comments made on other blog entries will not be included for consideration. Comments placed on our Facebook page are valid and will be considered. Winners will be selected randomly. You must meet the comment criteria to win. Good luck!

Dec 24, 2012 at 5:44 AM My goal is to share the passion of quilting with my oldest daughter who absolutely loves all things hand or homemade. I would love to share in the spirit by presenting her with a white cabinet to put her sewing machine in and begin our adventures of sewing and quilting together.
Dec 23, 2012 at 8:02 PM I started quilting a year ago and got hooked. I have done some lap quilts for gifts and my goal is to finish numerous UFOs. I may have bit off more than I can chew because I am in three quilt groups. Some work/fun is done for personal use and some charitable. I am 68 years young and am really enjoying myself. I would love the black cabinet to go in our bedroom as our furniture is black and the cabinet is such a nice size. Congrats to the winner - hope it is me!!!
Dec 23, 2012 at 6:47 PM I have a big goal for 2013. First in line are 4 charity quilts to FMQ. then finish lots of UFO's and quilt another 10 tops that I have waiting. I think a lovely white cabinet with all the organization of it
would keep me on track for this year.
Dec 23, 2012 at 6:38 PM My goal for 20013 is to free-motion quilt 3 tops that I have finished for family members. I'm just getting good enough at FM quilting after having quilted for 4 yrs. now. My living room is my quilting studio and the white cabinet would look great.
Dec 23, 2012 at 5:56 PM My goal in 2013 hopefully is to get more organized & finish all the quilt kits I purchased from Connecting Threads. The sewing cabinet will definitely help to bring my chaos to an end. Thank you for the opportunity to win...would love the white cabinet.
Dec 23, 2012 at 5:11 PM Wow! This is so great for small homes and apartments. The white one is very light and helps make small spaces seem a bit less crowded. Living in a mobile home means that the sewing spaces are a bit spread out, taking much needed guest quarters. This would greatly help me to be more organized, to which my husband would say "Yay!"
Dec 23, 2012 at 5:10 PM I would love a white cabinet to incorporate in my sewing room. My goals for the new year is to complete some UFO's,try some applique methods and also volunteer more time making comfort quilts. It is so important to be organized and this cabinet would sure help me be more organized. Thank you for a wonderful web site and this amazing give away.
Dec 23, 2012 at 3:22 PM To be able to send more quilts to our veterans in hospitals, etc. I would love to have the white cabinet.
Dec 23, 2012 at 12:15 PM My goal for 2013 is to complete a queen size quilt for my husband. I have been making wall hangings because they are quicker. He wants a quilt for the bed and a new cabinet would make my sewing/organizing soooo much easier.
Dec 23, 2012 at 10:55 AM My goal for 2013 is to finish a queen sized quilt started earlier this year, this is my first attempt at sewing a large bed quilt. I'd like the black cabinet for organizing some of my quilting and sewing supplies. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Dec 23, 2012 at 10:30 AM I love classes and new projects, my goal for 2013 is to finish an old project before I start on a new one since I cannot count my UFOs just on my fingers and toes!
Dec 23, 2012 at 7:11 AM My quilting goals for 2013, include several UFOs (UnFinished objects) as well as getting comfortable with machine quilting. The white cabinet would look great in my sewing corner.
Dec 23, 2012 at 6:51 AM I would like to make 20 quilts this year for donations to local charities. Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!
Dec 23, 2012 at 6:36 AM I just want to be more organized. I make my quilts in my living room, so that cabinet (in black) would be a big help. I finished all my quilt tops this year(16)of them.
Thank You for the chance. Happy Holidays!
Dec 23, 2012 at 6:31 AM Just ONE goal? :) I think that this goal has been around for years for me.... Work on UFOs!
What a gorgeous cabinet! White would work for me. :)
Dec 23, 2012 at 6:22 AM I would love to win this cabinet. I have never had a true sewing cabinet and at 60 I think I deserve one. I have been sewing since I was 8. I love how organized the cabinet is. Thanks
Dec 23, 2012 at 5:49 AM My goal for the new year is to finish one quilting project a month (at least). I'm a great starter! I'd actually like to continue this for the next three years. We hope to become snow birds and the white cabinet would really work nicely in those plans!Thanks for the chance to win!
Dec 23, 2012 at 5:19 AM My goals for 2013 are to be more organized and to complete as many of my unfinished projects as I can. The white cabinet would help out greatly with both of these efforts. I belong to a small group that does a number of projects for charitable causes, so I have a tendency to finish those first.
Dec 22, 2012 at 11:10 PM My quilting goals for 2013 are to finish all the projects that I started during 2012 but did not complete and to make an awesome baby quilt for my niece or nephew that will be born in May. I would love to have the white cabinet! I would make my holiday special and it would help keep me organized in the coming year.
Dec 22, 2012 at 10:29 PM I hope to finish my first quilt very soon. The cabinet in white would fit right in with my sewing room.
Dec 22, 2012 at 9:10 PM My dearest and best friend passed away this summer and I (along with another friend) am working on finishing a quilt top she had started to show at a quilt show that she was chairing with her quilt guild. I think the white one would be perfect for my sewing room. I just finished a quilt she had started for her mother and will be giving it to her for Christmas. I miss her terribly.
Dec 22, 2012 at 8:41 PM After cutting the tip of my finger off with the rotary cutter, making Christmas presents this year, I vow to use my rotary cutter more safe, and keep good blades on it. The black cabinet would fit right into my quilting room.
Dec 22, 2012 at 7:30 PM I have always planned a Quilting Room, which is a MUST have in our new home in the near future.
My goal for the new year is to get ORGANIZED as I seem to gather many quilting supplies. The cabinet in either colour would be very helpful. I may even get some UFOs completed
as all quilters have them. Thank you for this chance to enter. Merry Christmas & Happy New Years.
Dec 22, 2012 at 6:25 PM Connecting Threads is top notch on prices, I order from your site often. The white cabinet would be a wonderful addition to keep my precious fabics safe until my next inspiration. I just finished making tote bags for christmas and am on the lookout for my next project.
Dec 22, 2012 at 5:55 PM To quilt the 20 quilt tops I have completed. Would like this cabinet in white.
Dec 22, 2012 at 4:56 PM I'd love to win! Thank you for the chance to try.
Dec 22, 2012 at 4:13 PM I would love to have the cabinet in black. Next year I want to get my fabric off the floor and back on the table where my sewing machine is sitting. Hopefully I'll get more than my two obligation charity projects finished.
Dec 22, 2012 at 3:04 PM I have been organizing my sewing room and the Sewmatra would fit right in.
Dec 22, 2012 at 2:33 PM Wow... Beautiful... What a gift that would be! It would be awesome to win that.
Dec 22, 2012 at 2:18 PM My goal was to quilt when I retired. I am now retired and have started quilting bedspreads. They may not be 100% perfect, but I am not getting discouraged. The only problem I have is that my tools and stuff is scattered all over the place and that gets me frustrated. I would love to win this cabinet in brown so for once I can have all my things in one place.
Dec 22, 2012 at 2:13 PM I'm new to the electronics of sewing. Your sewing cabinet (in black) giveaway inspires me. I love the efficiency of the set up. I feel like I could sit down to do a quick project. Sewing would be calling me instead of mocking me!
Dec 22, 2012 at 1:50 PM My sewing room is my dining room table. Having the white cabinet would be a nice addition to my dining room. It would allow me to take my sewing machine off the table so my family can start using the table as it was originally intended for.
Dec 22, 2012 at 1:43 PM I am new (7 months) to quilting and I am loving it. I just completed my 3rd project which was the Fabric Dance throw from Connecting Threads. My goal for 2013 is to get all of the quilt kits I have ordered completed. I would love to win the black cabinet.
Dec 22, 2012 at 1:18 PM 2013 is the year I Will get my space organized! LOL! I'd really like to complete some of my UFO's that are taking up so much room. The white cabinet would look perfect in my sewing room! Thanks for the opportunity - and I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
Dec 22, 2012 at 1:11 PM Quilting goal for 2013 is to finish some of my UFOs. I just love the sewing cabinet. It would be a great addition to my sewing room.
Dec 22, 2012 at 12:56 PM Quilting goals for 2013 is to complete UFO's, re-organize my craft room, and learn to say no to requests, so that I can enjoy my home and crafting time. The black cabinet would be my preference since it has a more modern look and I am trying to get away from the country look I have always had in the past.
Dec 22, 2012 at 10:15 AM This year I am planning to make a new quilt for our bed. I am also planning to make a queen size queen for my daughter and her husband. Hopefully I will also get a couple of the UFO quilts done too. I would love to win the cabinet in white.
Dec 22, 2012 at 10:14 AM Sorry! I forgot to say that either color would be a blessing, but I'd prefer white if possible. Thanks!
Dec 22, 2012 at 10:11 AM I've just found out that within the next couple of months my husband's mom will be coming to live with us. We will be combining our homes, so space will be limited and changes will be made. I'm going to work on a quilt to help make her new room special and welcoming. This cabinet will REALLY help with the reorganization of my work area. I hope I'm chosen!
Dec 22, 2012 at 9:33 AM im planing on making 2 wedding quilts and 6 more form my children before christmas next year i would love the black one if i win
Dec 22, 2012 at 9:17 AM Organization is needed in my sewing room.
Dec 22, 2012 at 8:19 AM My main goal this year is organize, organize, organize! Especially in my sewing room. A white cabinet would be wonderful. Thanks for the opportunity and Merry Christmas!
Dec 22, 2012 at 7:57 AM I like both the white and black cabinet and would be happy with either one. It is such a space saver and my home could really use it. Thank you for the chance at winning!
Dec 22, 2012 at 7:44 AM With my first baby due in February, my quilting goal would be to have my quilting area cleaned up before he arrives. The white would look fabulous in my house!
Dec 22, 2012 at 7:00 AM I love the black. I would love to finish all of my plannned quilts and a few unfinished ones. I dont have alot of room so the cabinet would be perfect for me...
Dec 22, 2012 at 5:50 AM I have plans to finish a black quilt with multicolored triangles. I also have a baby quilt to finish by April. I would like the black colored cabinet.
Dec 22, 2012 at 3:15 AM Love this - I know I would get more out of my sewing machine if I was this fortunate.
Dec 21, 2012 at 10:18 PM My quilting goal for 2013 is to clean all the junk out of my junk room and set it up as a sewing room. I would LOVE this cabinet in white to put in my new sewing room! Hey - maybe winning this will be just the kick in the pants I need to get the room cleaned out and set up for sewing!
Dec 21, 2012 at 9:07 PM My goal this year, 2013, is to finish at least one of the quilts I've started, and to make up at least one quilt, that I have gathered all the fabrics for on a fun quilt hop. I'm learning how to paper piece, at a class I've signed up for. My past year has been filled with everything, but what I wanted to do. This is going to be my year, of fun and organinzing myself.
