Happy Monday ... my 600th post and giveaway.

Hi Everyone,

This is my 600th post! Three years and 2 months that is how long it took... I can't believe you all are still hanging out with me but I am so glad you are.

One of the sweet friends I have made along the way is Terry she moved here last year and happens to be an old friend of my Quilted Fish team mate Jana's ... here is the adorable quilt she made from Peak Hour

and what a great picture too...

I love having the flickr group so that I can see all of the lovelies you make. Thanks for participating everyone!

Now that I have made a decision about the shop (even though it is scary) I actually got a good night's sleep last night. We are putting in an application for a retail space. It is perfect and when I saw it I knew it had to be mine. More info about the shop later.

So it is 600th post / belated 3 yr blogiversay celebration week. We will do 3 givaways this week (3 for 3 years) starting today. These will be fast and merciless get your comments in quick because you only have 2 days. I will end todays on Wednesday morning when I announce the next giveway so you have today and tomorrow to enter. I will give away a full fat quarter bundle of Avignon for todays giveaway .. look at this great picture Brooke took:

And a little something she is whipping up with it:

Awesome right? This is not the whole collection though. You will receive all 18 prints if you win the giveaway.

To Enter:

Leave a comment telling me what kind of notions that you specifically go to a quilt shop for. Since I know most of us use those 50% off coupons form jo-ann for our notions...what don't you buy from the big J but buy from your LQS? Please do not enter by saying "Please enter me in the giveaway" you actually need to answer the question even if it is only one word like "Patterns" okay? Seems fair to me :)

See ya on Wednesday with the next Giveaway....

Friday Fun Day and Time For Another Giveaway or Two

Hi Everyone,

First of all I have had a couple questions about Melissa's pattern and whether you are too late to buy it and have the proceeds go to charity. Not at all!  We are going to sell it and keep giving the proceeds to charity as long as you are still buying it. So if you haven't grabbed that cute thing up yet, here is the link.

Here is what we are giving away today:

To win 2 charm packs of Verona go over to Maureen's Blog and have at it. Good luck everyone!

And if that is not enough Sally's adorable Lil' is having a birthday today and she is celebrating by giving away a $10 gift card to my shop. How awesome is that? It isn't posted yet, but it will be, so be patient and check back later :) 

Have an awesome weekend! I will see you here tomorrow for the winner of last week's giveaway.

Cosmos and Verona Are Here.

Hi Everyone,

Wow, it was a busy day yesterday! Beside the Valentine's day thing :) I had a few boxes arrive. I am even more madly in love with Cosmos:

Here are some bigger pictures of the border print called Phenomenon:

As you can see those things you all thought were fish are really flowers... or possible peacock feathers. 

See how they make up the medallions?

And here is Verona. I fell in love with this collection when I first saw it on the Riley Blake website. All of those colors we love. Uh oh do I feel another Swoon quilt coming on?

The Newsletter comes out tonight and it is going to be a lot of fun so don't miss out. You can sign up by clicking the newsletter button on the upper right side of the blog.
