Fabulous Fabric Friday and a Givaway

Friday, December 16, 2016
Hey Everyone,

Did you all check out the Honey Pot Bee and the Wild Card Surprise? I sure did... then I made a minute and (literally it felt like that is all it took) to sew and voila...

This put me in a Vintage Christmas Spirit and I finally got the kids together and decorated the Christmas tree... better late than never I guess LOL

We had a great Two of a kind Tuesday and One Off Wednesday you all seemed to enjoy the deals on the bundles so put it on your calendar for the weeks ahead and see what kind of deals you can snag. (It takes place at about noon on Instagram)

How would you like to win a fat quarter bundle of Colette?

All you have to do is tell me what you most look forward to after the Holidays. Leave a comment and I will pull a winner next Friday. Oooh that is Christmas Eve Eve :)

See ya soon!
Julie

  4. I look forward to being back in school with kids who aren't hyper-excited with the anticipation of Christmas and gifts! In the week before Christmas, it's hard to hold their attention for more than 3 minutes! Collette would be fun to create with!
