Here is my offering for Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew! I had no idea when I posted pictures from my son’s Busytown birthday party last fall that there were so many Lowly Worm fans out there! This version is a bit of an upgrade from the Lowlies I churned out 10 at a time for the party. Those were made with inexpensive acrylic felt. The new version is made with a wool-blend, and I’ve streamlined the design a bit to make his coat part of the body instead of a seperate piece.
For those of you who AREN’T Lowly fans, I’m offering an assortment wool felt scraps.
There are 28 pieces, all different colors, and all cut to 3X5″. These would be great for small applique projects, or the little ornaments I made for my son’s advent calendar.
Here’s a different options to win:
1) Simply leave a comment specifying which item you want: Lowly or the felt scraps. (make sure it includes a way to contact you) (If you already commented when I was just offering Lowly (before 11 a.m. Monday) and you win, you’ll get both. Otherwise, I’ll pick two winners)
For extra chances, do any of the following (in seperate comments if you do more than one):
2) Leave a comment telling me you follow my blog. (either longtime readers or brand new!)
3) Leave a comment describing some kind of 4th of July craft or sewing project idea, either something you’ve made, seen elsewhere or would like to see. I write a craft column for The Associated Press and need to come up with something that will run in June, usually I look ahead to the next holiday/season.
4) Check out my talented husband’s blog: jmhirsch.com. He is the national food editor for The Associated Press, and has a cookbook coming out in the fall. If you’d like, leave him a comment, but it’s not necessary. Just tell me you took a peek and will consider going back!
I’ll close comments at 8 p.m. EST Thursday and announce the winner Friday morning. I am willing to ship internationally. Good luck!

Oh wow, Lowly Worm! My daughter has just gotten into Richard Scarry books and it’s so cute to see her enjoying them as much as I did as a kid… Which makes me feel very, very old.
Fantastic! I loved the Richard Scarry books when I was growing up and am just introducing them to my son now. I love your Lowly Worm!

4th of July craft: I’d love some 4th of July stroller decorations! We tried to decorate his stroller last year for a neighborhood parade and was stumped for something cute and different.
I/We would love Lowly—how cute!!!!!
I’m a new follower!
I want to make a patriotic wreath this year for the front door.
Using differing widths of grossgrain ribbon (in red, white and blue and maybe star print if I can find it) I would tie big bows on a wreath form and sporatically twist on lengths of wire star garland to stick out like fireworks.
I would LOVE Lowly! I think I saw that party on Obeedoh last year–was that yours? I wasn’t a follower at that time and didn’t realize it was you.
I am a follower now–have been for a month or so.
I LOVE Lowly!
OMG he’s perfect!!! Fantastic job!!
If you didn’t get that, I’d pick Lowly 😉 LOL
caravincens@gmail.com
Wow, that’s impressive. He looks great! One of my favorite books growing up was a Busytown book. I wish I could send Lowly back in time to my five-year-old self. (The thirty-something me would love him, too!)
lowly is awesome
My boys would love it if I won the Lowly worm!
How cute! I’d love Lowly. He is very impressive 🙂

(3) last year I made a pennant banner for 4th of july… the triangles were various red, white, and blue fabrics, some with stars etc… I attached them all to pre-made quilt binding. it was cute to hang inside and to decorate outside at a picnic we had (and super easy!)
Am I selfish for wanting both the worm and scraps? Then I can make Lowly some little worm baby friends.
HI!
I found your blog through the Busytown Birthday post and I LOVE it. We are big Richard Scarry fans at our house. I really want to learn to sew, and your website inspires me. (I’m a paper crafter)I would love to win the big Lowly worm. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Amy
I follow this blog. You had me at “stuffed Robot”. Pretty please give one of those away too some day… i’d make my own if only I could.
hello! Cute little guy.. I would love the felt pieces though 🙂
camistewart@hotmail.com
Oh Lowly, you steal my heart.

I have a little boy who would love a Lowly!
I would love to win Lowly worm! My son would adore him!
I love Lowly! My little guy would love him, too. Thanks for sharing!
As much as I love Lowly, I don’t have a little one to give him to. I would love the scraps to create something of my own.
I love Lowly!!
I would love to win Lowly!
I think bunting would be a great July 4th project.

I’m now a new follower of your blog!
He’s my favorite Richard Scarry character! Love him and his apple car!!! You did a fab job on him, he’s adorable!
I’m planning on making a firework blanket for the celebrations of the 4th!
Love both options!

Oh, I think Lowly is adorable! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
carrieljv(at)gmail.com
I love Lowly Worm, but I think I would have to pick the felt scraps. I have a project I’ve been wanting to make with felt, but I don’t have a great color selection yet.
Lowly please! I love Busytown!
If I win (fingers crossed!), I’d like the felt scraps. I’m trying to make my own advent calendar, and those felt pieces would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
4th of July was my Daddy’s birthday. He was also in the airforce, so the day takes on special meaning at my home. A craft I really like for military kids is sewing dolls that have picture transfers of their deployed parents. It gives them something to hug!
Non-military related: painting chinese laterns red, white, and blue to decorate your patio for the 4th of July BBQs!
I LOVE the lowly worm. But I would have to pick the scraps as I have never sewn with wool felt and would love to know the difference from acrylic.
We are HUGE Richard Scary fans, so I would love to win Lowly worm! You did such a great job with him!
Oh my goodness I love Lowly! My mom was just reminding me how I made her read me Richard Scary over and over and over as a kid. And, as she said, “There isn’t even any story!!” Now I’m reading it to my little guy. 🙂
I love Lowly Worm. I would definitely choose to win him. Thanks for sharing!!!
I LOVE Richard Scary and try to get his books whenever I see them at the thrift stores. They remind me of my childhood and how I could sit forever and stare at every little detail in his pictures. Lowly for sure!
I would love to see simple 4th of July t-shirts to make with or for my kids–fabric paint and stencils or applique maybe.
That is a tough choice. If I win, flip a coin!
Wow! We are huge Busy Town fans here and my son would be tickled to have his own Lowly worm!
Great giveaway!
I love LOWLY!!!!!!!!111
Oh, my gosh, I remember that party and all the AMAZING stuff you made for it. It blew me away. I’d love to win Lowly!
I’ve got lots of red/white/blue vintage trims that I’ve inherited, and I’d love some inspiration for 4th of July dresses to make.
Lowly is just AWESOME!!!! I loved Lowly as a kid and now my kids love Lowly.
This might be the coolest thing I’ve seen given away in a LONG time.
Ok, can you tell I want Lowly???
Lowly for sure. My dad’s a librarian and this is the perfect bookworm.
Check out my fabric giveaway at http://pitterputterstitch.blogspot.com.
Oh I would love a chance to win the felt…thank you so much for the chance!!!
oh my goodness! my kiddos would freak out for the lowly!! mom is a BIG wool felt lover though. guess we could go either way. 😉 thanks for the opportunity!
for the fourth you could make lanterns from glass jars. cover them with festive tissue paper, some sparkly goodness, etc. add wire handles and you can string some beads, etc on there. have fun!
OMG! My daughter would love if got a Lowly! She loves those books! I love your party idea! So original!

Beautiful stuff!

billington5@yahoo.com
i have never heard of lowly before but i think i may be his latest fan now. I could really do with some craft supplies so the felt would be wonderful…but lowly is just too cool to pass up. i would have to go for him. but first i will have to find out more about him. thanks for introducing me to something new today.
jessmellifont@gmail.com

How about fourth of July themed dresses and matching hair accessories? I always thought those were cute.
I love Lowly but I think I’d almost rather win the felt, it is so hard to get my hands on good wool felt! sarah(at)themikkelsens(dot)net
I would like the scraps, but my son would LOVE Lowly, so Lowly it is! Adorable!
I love Lowly Worm but I would choose the felt scraps so I can make something!

Well I am not picky..the worm is adorable and I could do alot with those felt scraps…xoxoox
You did a tremendous job on Lowly, but as a DIYer I’ll opt for the wool felt as I’ve never actually handled real wool felt before!
I am totally going gaga over your sundae photos…all that ice cream… did they think they were in heaven?
Who wouldn’t love Lowly! Send him to us!!!
wow .. that would be a great addition for the pincushions I make. Love the colors.
Thanks for the opportunity
gosh i love them both!!!!!!!!!!!!
can’t decide..you can decide for me 🙂
thanks for the chance
2 fantastic giveaways it is a hard choice! I think I would have to go for the wool felt fora project I have in mind. But shhhh don’t tell my children! 🙂
As big Busy Town fans, my kiddo and I would love Lowly Worm. He is adorable.
Oh, Lowly, how I love Lowly! What a great idea! I grew up on Richard Scarry’s books and now read them to my kids. Glad to have found your site!

Felt scraps for me please! (Although I do love the Lowly worm)
I’m a new subscriber (and still want the felt scraps).
I would love the Lowly for myself!!
4th of July craft idea: How about some sort of craft product that incorporates a quilted fireworks design 😉
That Lowly Worm is the greatest thing ever!!!! I loved that character as a young one, and you’ve created a wonderful likeness. So of course he would be my choice….
I love your blog..reading from NZ!
beautiful work – i love the lowly!!!

Lowly Lowly!
Hi,
Oh the Lowly is soooo sweet! I know a little girl who reads Richard Scary books every day, she would be thrilled to bring him home.
Thanks!
And I’m a (new) blog follower!
Thanks
For the 4th of July, we recently made an upcycled vintage picnic blanket in an Americana theme, something that is very fitting for July 4th but that also works well throughout the year. Having picnics is something I associate strongly with that weekend, and having an all-natural picnic blanket to do that with is pretty neat, I think.
Thanks!
I would love to win the felt scraps. Never can have too many, you know?! Thanks for playing the Giveaway Day game!!
Oh Lowly Lowly Lowly Please! We LOVE Busy Busy Everything!!!
Thx for sharing!
As a mother to be, I started to read your blog as it inspired me to attempt at beginning to sew. I look forward to making projects for my daughter. Lowly and the Busy Town crew were a special part of my childhood and I would love to have a Lowly for my little girl that will be born in a few weeks. As for a fourth of July craft, my favorite challenge is to come up with a red/white/and blue bouquet with flowers that are blooming. Normally red bee balm, saliva(I pretend that it is blue), and daisies. Last year I didn’t have any bee balm, so I used crab apples.
I have looked everywhere for a Lowly Worm pattern! We are on the third generation of Lowly fans. My grandson would flip and it may fill the gap that his mother will make as she leaves for Afghanistan in a few weeks. Keep up the great work with the blog. I love it!
wow, I do love Lowly…. but my kids are grown & he would be happier in a home with little people! But the felt pieces… now those would be happy in my house!
How cute is he!Yes, I’d go for Lowly! Thanks for the chance!
Hi there!
I would love a chance to win the felted pieces – I’ve just started working with wool.
I’ll be moving to Texas this July (Seminole) from Maine. So far, Texans rock!
Stop by my blog to win some fabric
http://www.ayankeequilter.blogspot.com
wow Lowly the worm! That is so nostalgic, I would love to have him in my home!
OK, I think I’d better get off this computer – I just left you a comment where I thought you were from Texas – OOPS!
Have fun with this crazy giveaway 🙂
I’ve found your blog last year, when I was looking for a Lowly Worm pattern.
I like it.
I want it 🙂
Of course since then I’m following your blog in my google reader.
And here is my version, a crocheted pne: http://picasaweb.google.hu/juhasz.andrea/2009_12#5424759298118087042
I totally love lowly. He is so incredibly cute.
I would love the felt scraps, although Lowly is pretty awesome. I would use them for story-time animals and things, on a flannel board. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I am working on a picnic quilt/blanket/mat, made from jeans and old baby clothes. From this tutorial : http://www.straw.com/equilters/library/jeans/jeans_gallbaros.html
If you made it with red scraps, it would be perfect for the 4th. It comes out thick enough to be good for lying down on the ground, so as too stare at the fireworks.
Oh my goodness! This is the first I’ve seen of Lowly, and I love him to bits! I am a long-time Richard Scary fan.
Anna
I love Lowly but I would probably prefer the felt scraps. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Lowly all the way!!!!
Love all those pretty colors of felt AND Lowly! Too hard to pick! If I happen to win…you can surprise me! 🙂
Wow, would love to have those felt scraps although Lowly is super cute!
My Lowly please!!
xo Steph
I’d love to win the felt squares! Thanks
I think a fun 4th of July craft is one that the kids can do outside. Such as tie-dyeing a T-shirt. And they come out looking like fireworks!
I love love Lowly and would pick him if I win. Thank you so much for the chance!
Lowly is AMAZING! WOW! I am SO impressed! This is a wonderful giveaway! jinglesells at gmail dot com I would love either prize!
I recently made a 4th of July card! It is fun and you could create a banner in the same vein! http://justjingle.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-have-confession-to-make-i-suck-at.html

I am loving your Lowly! Love! But if somebody wins it before me, I would gladly accept the scraps. I would love to make a few things…maybe some barettes for my girls.
It must be nice married to a talented chef – you get to craft, he cooks… I’d prefer the felt scraps, I love rainbows. Don’t tell my kids, they’d want Lowly hands down.

4th of July craft or sewing project idea: I really like fiesta flags. These could easily be red, white and blue for the 4th of July! thorandellie[at]gmail[dot]com
I checked out your hubby’s blog. Neat that you are both reporters. Actually, what a dream job to be a food reporter. Yum, yum, yum. Thanks for sharing the link.
thorandellie[at]gmail[dot]com
PS. I forgot to leave my email address in my 1st entry, but it’s in all the rest.
I’d love the wool scraps. I make lots of felt projects for my kids. They design their own projects!
I love Lowly, but he would live a lonely existence at my house. I could, however, put the felt to good use!
my goodness he is cute! lowly please!!
i loved my richard scarey books as a kid because they had a special bookish-smell to them *sigh*
So cute! I would pick Lowlt for my 3 year old. Thanks for the great giveaway!

My niece is in love with Lowly Worm so of course I choose him!
And now I’m a follower
My mom made this awesome door hanging for the 4th of July out of paint stir sticks. She lined them up, painted them like the flag and attached some stars. I have mine ready to make, but just haven’t done it yet.
And I checked out the cookbook. I really need to learn how to cook.
Oooo beautiful felt… LOVE the beautiful felt! Thank you for the AWESOME giveaway!
Total fan of Lowly worm! How fun!
melmullins(at)mac(dot)com
How do you expect us to choose! Waaaah! I suppose I would choose felt, but Lowly. Gosh I loved Lowly. I just added you to my reader. I can’t wait to see more of your blog. This is my favorite part of Giveaway Day. Finding new blogs, new inspiration.
Lowly worm! Hilarious! What a fun giveaway!
Lowly!! My daughter would freak. Thanks for the opportunity to check out your blog!
Love that Lowly!! we’re big busy town fans here too becky818@yahoo.com
I would love the felt scraps!
I would love the felt scraps though lowly is adorable! bruzzinie@net.elmhurst.edu
FELT SCRAPS! I do lots of applique with them and they would come in handy. Not that I don’t love Lowly, I do, but nothing holds a candle to craft supplies I just cannot get enough of.
Blessings!
Lowly is mine! (I hope …)
Pick me, pick me!
thevanandthecart[at]gmail[dot]com
A good 4th of July craft or sewing project idea is to make little American flag cupcake toppers.
thevanandthecart[at]gmail[dot]com
I took a peak at your husband’s blog, definitely looks interesting. I like food almost as much as crafting. thevanandthecart[at]gmail[dot]com
My daughter would love the Lowly! We read Richard Scarry books lots. 🙂
For this 4th of July, I’m planning to make red white and blue placemats from fabric yoyos. What is more patriotic than the quilting arts? And of course, whatever you do must be combined with outdoor eating. 🙂
Lowly is gorgeous!
Please enter me in the draw and don’t forget to enter mine too!

My children adored the Richard Scarry books when they were young
Gill
your husbands book looks great – i plan to buy it!
Love Lowly! We’re big Richard Scarry fans here. Thanks for the chance to win.
OMG this is adorable, would love Lowly to be mine! ♥
That’s a really tough choice.
My daughter is still a little young for Richard Scarry, so I think I’d choose the felt scraps, though I am going to bookmark the pictures of your party – you did a great job!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I am also now a follower 🙂
I took a look at your husband’s site and have passed on the link to my husband (he’s the cook in my family). He loves reading cooking sites!
I can always find uses for more felt! Though the worm is adorable, the felt is where it’s at!
Oh my gosh. Not only are my kids big Lowly fans. I grew up loving Lowly. So… I guess I’d have to go with Lowly, although the felt scraps are lovely. Thanks so much for the generous giveaway.
Lowly is wonderful! Thanks for the giveaway!

Lowly – I was in the wrong place.
I will be looking over the high flavor low labor site 😉
Such a lovely prize on offer…thank you for the chance to win it! I’d love to have the felt scraps, should I be so lucky!
I would love the scraps. Richard Scarry is awesome, but it would give me the excuse to start on this hobby too!
Lowly is very cute, but I’m afraid my dogs would eat him! If I win (fingers crossed), I’d like the felt scraps. Thanks for the giveaway!
I want Lowly! I have a book about him that my mom read to me when I was a kid!
Lowly is too cute to pass up- he would be a HUGE hit at my house:) Great give away- thanks:)
those felt scraps are scrumptious! my daughter would have a hay day!
great giveaway! thanks for the chance to win! crossing my fingers!
I would love to win Lowly! I used to watch that cartoon at lunch time when I was in highschool!
My boys would LOVE a Lowly! Thanks for offering such a great give away.
I like both…but that worm is awesome!
Okay, so I took a look at your husband’s blog. Bookmarked it. Awesome! I stayed there a lot longer than I expected. You are SO LUCKY to have a hubby that does so much of the cooking…and it sounds DELICIOUS too!
I checked out your husband’s site. Very nice. And the cookbook looks right up my alley. That’s a big issue for us…not wanting to cook after a long day… Best of luck to him!
LOVE the worm; but function says felt!
LOWLY!!! My inner five year ol is in love. 😀

The felt would be a great prize! Thanks for the great giveaway. luscofamily(at)ortelco.net

I LOVE me some Lowly, but I can’t pass up that gorgeous wool scrap pack. I have the romantic notion of making my kids some clips with the wool…

I really like Lowly (he was a favorite when my son was younger) but I would love to try the Advent calendar with the felt scraps.
I am a follower. I am a huge fan of your work!
And I just bookmarked your husband’s site- I will be back there a lot. Dinner Scrounge happens every night at our house!

I checked out your hubby’s blog and LOVE the concept! Very cool. My hubby and I have been talking about weeknight cooking and how to work it out better so we make dinner every weeknight. I will definitely be going back and checking it out further.
Thanks!

I WANNA LOWLY! You know where to find me. I read your hubby’s delicious blog. As for the craft, I have no idea how you people come up with these ideas. And I tried your gorgeous felt eggs which you made sound so easy and they were a DISASTER, so I will leave the felting up to the experts, or even the amateurs, but man oh man would I love to get my hands on one of those Lowly’s. Now that could really cheer a person up.
I want Lowly for my 4 year old! I used to have one similar (wish I still had it). My daughter is obsessed with all things worm!
*just checked out your husband’s site and will def be revisiting it in the future! bookmarked….the feta, honey, walnut recipe looks amazing!
I just found your blog today. I am super impressed by your craftiness!
While I like Lowly, will select if win the Wool felt in rainbow of colors…
Thank you for this giveaway. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Lowly worm. Lowly. Worm. LOWLY. WORM.
I Love him. Wow.
I have recently discovered and become addicted to wool felt, so I’d love the scraps! (Though Lowly is pretty awesome, too! : )) Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to win lowly. So cute
YOU are so lucky don’t you know ??? your husband seem to cook so well !!! Feta with honey, waouh, I have to try that !!! nice to meet both of you with the giveaway…

Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
Crazy-cute giveaway! Thank you for putting together this awesome prize–I’d love the scraps!
Pick me Mr. Random number generator!! Ooohhh, Pick me!!

I just saw a giveaway for a utensil roll-up. Just like the crayon roll up except it has three slots for the utensils (maybe add one for a napkin?). what a great way to have “real” utensils on hand for 4th of July barbecues!
Lowly! He’s sooo cute.
I would love the wool squares, can’t get wool in Florida and would love to do some things with wool.
I subscribe to your blog
I made the cutest 4th of July Dotee dolls last year…
I subscribed to your husbands blog, I need to go back at a later time to really look, always looking for more things to cook…
LOWLY! I read Richard Scary books to my boys all the time!
I love Lowly, but I think I’d go with the fabric since no one else in my house even knows who Lowly is. Sigh…
Thanks for the chance!
I would love those felt scraps! They would be perfect for embellishing plushies. knit1purljill (at) gmail (dot) com
Lowly is adorable but I think I’d take the felt pieces. Thanks so much!
I think cakes or tarts for 4th of July are beautiful. One with a star made of blueberries and one with red strips from raspberries.
I checked out your husbands blog and will definitely be going back. I need all the recipe ideas I can get.
OMG! I am in love with your Lowly!!!! Enter me please!!!
*gasp* (literally) Lowly is awesome!
I love Lowly. Please enter me:)
I love the felt squares.
I follow your blog.
I have seen patriotic robots made out of tin cans of various sizes. Pretty cute really. My Dad has one, kind of patriotic.
I checked out your husband’s blog and will look through some of the recipes.
I’d take Lowly!
bcgood83@yahoo.com
I love both! But now that I have started using felt for little projects, I would have to say I would loooooove those little pieces! I only have a few colours at the moment…

Wow that Lowly is so cute! I don’t know which I would choose. My girls are Lowly fans but we could always use more felt scraps for crafting!

Lowly was always my fave!!! Thanks for the chance to enter!

And I’m following you too 🙂
and I went and had a look at your hubby’s blog – I love cooking and the recipes look really interesting, I will go and have a better look around.
How cute! I would love the felt.
Wow! Lowly worm just took me back in time to my childhood!
Would love to have him for my son 🙂
Awsome Lowly!! we are big fans in this house! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I just fell in love with Lowly !
Lowly! For sure!
Though Lowly is great, I’d prefer the scraps please.
I visited your husbands blog and left a comment. I’ll visit there again.
I’m not American so I don’t know what would be suitable but what about a roll up placemat that can be put down anywhere and has a pocket for the cutlery so they will be ready when it’s time to eat. Or a cushion with a handle so that it is easier to carry?
I would love to have Lowly come to my house. Thanks for the giveaway.
Lowly is gorgeous but I would prefer the scraps to craft with,thank you!
I’m torn. Lowly is adorable but I’d really like to play with that felt, so I’m going to have to say the felt scraps is what I’d prefer. You can contact me through my profile.
Peeked at hubby’s blog. Will definitely have a look back. I recently read a book by a food correspondent, can’t remember the name, but I really enjoyed it.
Ooh what a great giveaway, I love the worm but would prefer the felt squares 🙂
Either or would make me happy! Lowly is too cute!
I’d like the wool felt scraps. No source for those around here and I would like to experiment making embellishments for purses. thanks

I love them both! Lowly is so cute, and I know my daughter would like him.

Great giveaways. I’d love to win the felt scraps, I would embellish bags with them.
I also had a peek at your husband’s blog and I just love the cherry lime frozen magarita recipe. I’m definetly having another look, saved the page already 🙂

I love the turtle. Sooo cute.
You do have a talented husband!
Oh, Lowly is adorable, but I’d love some felt scraps. Hmmm… Must I choose? I’d really be happy with either.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t see a way to follow your blog, so I became a subscriber. 🙂
Oy! It’s a bad idea to browse your hubby’s blog at lunchtime. I am SO HUNGRY now! LOL.
I’d like to see a 4th of July children’s hat. There are tons of great tutes for cute kids caps, and adapting one for Independence Day would be easy-peasy.
THat is one sweet Loley, but I would opt for the felt.

Lowly is amazing! I think I’d prefer the scraps, but either would be great, really. Thank you so much.
I’d love to win the felt scraps! All those colors are so fun! Thanks for having the give-away!
Every morning my 4 year old rolls over and pokes me while asking– “Mama is it Busytown day?” Her almost 2 year old sister has taken up the call this week. As a matter of fact we have to set the alarm for sat am so that we don’t miss it as happened one glorious(i mean tragic)Saturday when we slept in…Lowly ROCKS!
Thanks for the chance!
