Thanks Jacqui!

Look what arrived all the way from New Zealand! Lucky me, I won 8 gorgeous DS Quilts Fat Quarters a while back from Jacqui`s blog. Jacqui is a Canadian living in NZ, and her blog is lovely. Go check it out.

DS Quilts Fat Quarters

I`m thrilled to have some of the not-available-in-Canada fabric. And it is so soft. But now I just need to decide what to do with it. If you`re in Canada too, did you get your hands on any DS fabric? If you have some, what are you making with it?

Don't you just love that top blue one?

I've had it in my mind for awhile that it might be worth petitioning Fabricland to carry the DS line. What do you think? Do you know why Denyse Schmidt doesn't sell these lines in Canada?

Thanks again Jacqui!

Sew Mama Sew Give-Away!

The give-away is now closed! Thanks for entering. A winner will be posted soon.

It's Give-Away Time! Up for grabs is a Youth Small White T-shirt (should fit a 4 or 5 year old) with a Heather Ross dog appliqued on the front. I machine appliqued him on and I pre-washed it too...Here's that cute little dog. I think he's worried a bigger dog will take his ball. Don't you just love Heather Ross? I've developed an unhealthy obsession.Here's the t-shirt label:

And because you can never have enough Heather Ross, I'm throwing in 2 fat quarters.

Yellow tadpoles in jars:

And green horses. I LOVE the horses.
Give-away open until May 31 at 9pm PST. Winner will be drawn randomly. But so that I can get to know you, let me know your name, where you are from, and what fabric/craft supply you are currently obsessed with. And if you aren't obsessed with fabric or yarn or any other craft supply please let me know how you have avoided it...really I need help!

So here is my example:

Hi, I'm Barb from Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. As you can probably tell, I really love Heather Ross. I love the dogs, I love the horses, I love the little equestrian riders and their clothes. Oh, and I love the little dolls, and the VW vans and the entire Far Far Away...

Good Luck! (and sorry for the dark pictures, it's night-time...)

FQ Swap

I am pretty much a blog/Internet lurker. I read lots of sites, but comment very rarely. Usually when there is a contest to be won. (I'm still waiting to win one!)

But today, I took the plunge and signed up to participate in Darci's Fat Quarter Swap. I am very excited. I can't wait to go shopping for some fun spring fabrics. And I'm even more excited to get my fat quarters in the mail.
