Have you checked out their book and magazine section?
How about their fabrics?
Or maybe their zakka and gifts section?
or their notions and trims?
Feeling a little overwhelmed? Then how about just checking out their what's new in the shop page?
Rules, rules, rules!!
So you want to win?
You have up to three chances to enter (with a little bit of homework), and international entries are welcomed!

- for a second entry, click on the links up there, and then come back here and leave me another comment telling me how you might choose to spend the $60 if you win
- for a third entry, blog or flickr about the giveaway (feel free to grab the superbuzzy button at the top of the post which links back here) and THEN come back and leave me one more comment saying "blogged" or "flickr'd", along with a valid link to the post (I'll be cheeeeeeeecking........)
I will keep this post open for one week, until the evening of May 23rd, when I'll use the random number generator to choose a winner.
Good luck to you all!
oh fun - I love Superbuzzy!

None of the links work for me............. is it trying to tell me something?
Posted by: Effie | 17 May 2010 at 01:28 AM
Yeah, great giveaway. I love it all!
Posted by: Stacey | 17 May 2010 at 01:57 AM
oohh... the question is more what wouldn't I buy... honestly?! I saw a wee tutorial the other day using wonderful trims to 'label' quilts. I've never labelled a quilt... but this looked nice n easy... and I would *love* some more fabric. Especially some polka dot laminated fabric I think... I really want to make Ollie a raincoat this winter.
Isn't that cute wee buzzy bee that tells you your cart is empty super cute?!
Posted by: Lara | 17 May 2010 at 02:01 AM
So many great boy friendly fabrics all in one place! If I actually won, I think I'd invest in some of the laminated fabrics. We just got a new car and I'm planning on making seat covers for under the kiddies car seats.
Posted by: Stacey | 17 May 2010 at 02:04 AM
I looove the elephant fabric. I bought some from Superbuzzy a couple of years ago and need to replenish!
Posted by: karen | 17 May 2010 at 02:09 AM
Brilliant giveaway! I love your blog (only cam across it recently). :-)
Posted by: Georgia | 17 May 2010 at 02:30 AM
If I won, I would spend the lot on Nani Iro double gauze...easy decision to make. :-)
Posted by: Georgia | 17 May 2010 at 02:32 AM
Ooh, awesome! I so desperately want to go to Japan with an empty suitcase. I'm so annoyed that I hadn't caught the sewing bug last time I was there!
Posted by: lili | 17 May 2010 at 03:01 AM
That must be the greatest giveaway ever. I'm in love...
Posted by: Little Miss S. | 17 May 2010 at 03:29 AM
...and I've been looking through the links - so much great stuff. I would have to indulge and get some of the animal prints - the animal boogie and the panda prints are awesome. Then I would throw a few buttons and some ribbon in the basket too. And a few dollars more, so I could get one of those beautiful japanese quilt books. What a weekend that would make for...
Posted by: Little Miss S. | 17 May 2010 at 03:33 AM
All that gorgeous fabric! Please put my name in the hat...
; )
Posted by: Marit | 17 May 2010 at 03:37 AM
Oh, I totally blogged about this giveaway. Too tempting for words!

Love Super Buzzy. Congratulations on your new sponsor. What a fantastic giveaway.
Posted by: Stephanie | 17 May 2010 at 04:42 AM
I've been wanting to try a bag with leather handles and Super Buzzy has POLKA DOTS in LIME. I've buy purse handles and hippo fabric.
Posted by: Stephanie | 17 May 2010 at 04:44 AM
Guess my first post went away. I would love to win this one. I have always wanted to try one of the Japanese Craft magazines. Their projects look so neat.
Put my name in the pot.

I did not know about superbuzzy - I'm off to go check it out! elizabethlehman@hotmail.com (Love your blog name - and think of it often as I like to hike as much as sew!)
Posted by: Beth Lehman | 17 May 2010 at 05:16 AM
to get the most bang for my buck - i went to the clearance section first!! there are several little dutch people prints that are darling, then i looked at all the trims!! so cute - love the linen trims with a little color, the great webbing colors, and the frog trim would make my son so very happy! thanks for the give-a-way!! elizabethlehman@hotmail.com
Posted by: Beth Lehman | 17 May 2010 at 05:21 AM
What a great sponsor! I had seen their name, but never had gone to their website before. Fantastic stuff!
Posted by: Anne | 17 May 2010 at 05:21 AM
If I won, I'd definitely be getting some fabric starting with the Echino camera fabric and maybe throwing in some Echino glasses because those two things are part of my daily existence!
Posted by: Anne | 17 May 2010 at 05:22 AM
ooh - I've just been eyeing their stuff. I'm lacking in Japanese cute over here!
Posted by: Angela | 17 May 2010 at 05:23 AM
Woohoo, count me in! They have the most amazing stuff!
Posted by: amanda | 17 May 2010 at 05:29 AM
Oh, I have been eyeballing Echino in hopes of making some pretty new bags....
Posted by: amanda | 17 May 2010 at 05:30 AM
Ok, so I need several of the cute animal prints, some more of the echino, LOVE those elephants.....and I love that you get a big fabric sample just be mousing over it!
Posted by: Angela | 17 May 2010 at 05:31 AM
Oh, Superbuzzy, how I love you! This was one of the first fabric shops I discovered and oh boy did I blow some cash in the early days! :)
Posted by: Cara | 17 May 2010 at 05:39 AM

Posted by: sue brown | 17 May 2010 at 05:40 AM
I know EXACTLY how I'd spend the $60. I'd finally get my hands on some Echino.
Posted by: Cara | 17 May 2010 at 05:41 AM
I love their fabrics and go to their site often, one day I will actually purchase some LOL, so would buy yummy fabrics if I won.
Posted by: sue brown | 17 May 2010 at 05:42 AM

Posted by: Shin Young | 17 May 2010 at 05:51 AM
WHOOO HOOO partying here in Virginia and hoping i'm the winner!!!! ;)
Posted by: shelia | 17 May 2010 at 06:05 AM
I would love to win this. I browsed the site and found elephant fabric which would be great for the coming baby nehew, I can't make up my mind what feeling at this point, but I am leaning to the blue echino.
Posted by: Penny G | 17 May 2010 at 06:17 AM
I love superbuzzy, I would love to win that ! Thank you both of you.
I'm going to browse, now.

Posted by: Tong | 17 May 2010 at 06:40 AM
I'm going to spend all of that $60 on delicious fabrics if I was the lucky winner, the new Echino line is calling my name!
Posted by: Tong | 17 May 2010 at 06:41 AM
Just posted the giveaway on my blog's side bar under fabrics farbics!
Posted by: Tong | 17 May 2010 at 06:42 AM
Awesome, count me in!
Posted by: Meghan | 17 May 2010 at 06:42 AM
I'd probably head straight for the book section. The pattern magic series has always been calling my name.
Posted by: Meghan | 17 May 2010 at 06:44 AM
Oh, I live 40 min. away from Superbuzzy's warehouse.......I would love an excuse to go in there! Thanks Penny

Posted by: stacey | 17 May 2010 at 07:20 AM
I would do get a Japanese Magazine - Cotton Friend is a favorite - and some Echino fabrics - with scooters if they have it - otherwise the buses and cars would do me just fine:)
Posted by: stacey | 17 May 2010 at 07:22 AM
Superbuzzy rocks!! Thanks for the AWESOME giveway!
Posted by: Molly | 17 May 2010 at 07:28 AM
Ok, I headed to the fabric link and would definitely buy some cute mushroom fabric and make a ton of cute potholders! Boring, I know, but that's what I'd do!!
Posted by: Molly | 17 May 2010 at 07:29 AM
