Fabric Shoppe Giveaway

Fabric Shoppe is having a giveaway!  I learned about it from Julie over at Jaybird Quilts.  If you hop on over there and leave a comment, you will be entered in the giveaway to win this amazing 1/2 yard bundle of Ty Pennington Impressions:

I am sooooo drooling over this fabric right now!!

Or a beautiful Robert Kaufman Half to Have It Radiance bundle in Oceanic:

So...pop on over to Jaybird Quilts and check it out!

I'm a WINNER! :)

One thing I love about blogging is being able to connect with people of like-mind.  I have gained some wonderful inspiration following the blogs of some very talented people.  One of the blogs I stumbled upon is the blog of Ryan Walsh called Im Just A Guy Who Quilts.  Ryan interviews all kinds of people including fabric designers who sometimes offer samples of their work to giveaway to his blog readers.

Can you see where I'm going here?  :P

That's right, I won one of his giveaways!  Check out the beautiful Tidbits fat quarter bundle designed by Kary Ramsey:

 I just love how the fabrics are soft in color and yet have such bold prints!

 I haven't decided what I'm going to do with these fat quarters yet, but I also won her new book, Tidbits from Triangles.  I haven't ventured into the world of triangles yet but this book might prove to be inspiration.

 I really love the look of this quilt, so maybe I will venture into triangles some day.  :)

Thank you Ryan and Kari!  :)

Go Vote For Meredith's Design!

I follow the blog Sewing in the Wendy City and her sister Meredith has entered a contest to be Spoonflower's next fabric designer.  Her design is for a little boy and is SO adorable!  See?

I don't think I have ever seen a fabric with paper airplanes on it.  I love it!  It actually reminds me of my brother when he was a kid - so much movement!  So, head on over to her blog Peacedonearth and follow the link to vote for her design.  :)  You can vote for the other designs but make sure to vote for hers too!

So I haven't blogged in a while

It's been about a month or so since I have blogged.  I wanted to blog at least once a week, but life has gotten in the way.  Since my last post, I have moved to a different city, started a new job as a 6th grade teacher, made a couple of new friends, gone through a an infection of pink eye (P had the pink eye, but I went through it with him!) and so far have evaded whatever the sickness is that has been going around the school. *knock on wood!*  I haven't unpacked my sewing room yet so I haven't made anything lately, but I did buy a cute new lamp for above my cutting table so I can actually see what I'm making when I do get around to making something.  My mom (who now has her own blog!) sent me some adorable black and white fabrics she found while cleaning out her sewing room so I'm kind of inspired - but so tired!  I want to make a string quilt for our bed in black and white since both P and I decided we wanted to do the bedroom in black and white to kind of go with some black and white posters of the Eiffel Tower I have.  I have had these posters for a while and have always put one above the bed since it's one of my dreams to see the Eiffel Tower one day.  :)

Anyway, the reason I came here to blog is to let you know about a giveaway Linda over at Stray Stitches is having.  She is celebrating 400+ followers and is giving away some lovely fabrics.  Since I have little to no stash, I am kind of apprehensive about advertising this giveaway because she already has over 150 entries, but the prize is too pretty not to share.  So pop on over, say hi and enter her giveaway!  As for me, I am going to go cuddle on the couch with a kitty and watch some yummy cakes being made on TLC.  Mmm...cake!  Happy Saturday everyone!  :)
