The Third 500th Post Giveaway.

Hi Everyone,

Are you tired of prizes yet? I didn't think so... How about more Market goodies?

You know I love Lotta Jansdotter and Echo... and now Bella her new collection. I bought Bella before there were even pictures out for it so it will be in the shop in August... Woot! So how about a charm pack of Bella for you?

Second 500th post giveaway day, a sale, and a winner.

Hi Everyone,

What to do first? How about the sale... since we no longer can get to the front door (again) I am having a little Memorial Day Sale. Everything in the sale section is marked down to 50% off MSRP in other words it is at wholesale prices kind of like a little sample spree of our own. You can also take an extra 10% off your whole cart with this coupon code: REMEMBER10 that means you will be getting the fabrics in the sale section below wholesale. Until Tuesday at midnight Eastern. I will also be lowering prices on random collections across the site just for fun. It is only the Sale section that is 50% off MSRP though. The others that I choose will be between 30 and 40% off just for the weekend :)

Now for the Second giveaway loot... how about a Fat quarter Bundle of Alpine Wonderland with an advent calendar panel included? Cute yes? If you do not celebrate Christmas we will come up with something of equal value.

Garsh I love her little deer... so cute!

Now the winner of last weeks giveaway of the Melody Miller fabric and Amy Butler tote.

Number 27 is:

Yay Lynda! And in answer to your question... a few months ago I did a blog post where I predicted that Butterflies were the new Birds... boy was I right. Everyone is doing butterflies. The other trend is Feathers. Feathers everywhere :) Lots of green and dark blue and lavendar. Oh... and Nautical. There are tons of new Nautical collections coming. I will email you in a minute Lynda.

Every once in a while I like to reward the first person to post on a giveaway post. We know that #1 doesn't come up randomly very often so I want to say thanks to Kelsey who said:

Friday Fun Day... and the beginning of the giveaway party

Hi Everyone,

Did you ever wonder where the "Friday Fun Day" title for all of my Friday posts came from? Well, even if you didn't I am gonna tell you :) Back... way back LOL About 2 yrs ago... maybe a year and a half...whatever... I applied to be a contributor to the creative team of a designer named Amanda Herring AKA The Quilted Fish. That was before the shop and all of the accompanying crazyness. We, the Team, created items with her fabric and posted tutorials on her blog every Friday. So I would title my posts Friday Fun Day and direct you over to her blog to see the latest cuteness... This year we have been working on a secret project. THE BOOK here is a picture of the cover:

I can't take any credit at all but I am so proud of this book. The pictures are beautiful and vibrant on glossy paper. Every page is a feast for the eyes. Even the directions pages have Amanda's style all over them. Honestly, It is so much fun to look through. The box on the cover is by Amanda herself. It is a sewing kit box, those flowers are pincushions. Just saying ...because I can... Amanda is brilliant you should see her new pattern for a sewn dollhouse complete with a backyard. Totally Genius!

This quilt is by someone you will know from my Newsletter, Brooke. I have been so fortunate to make these 9 ladies my friends and abuse cherish their friendship in everything I do :)

 This Mini is by someone else you will know if you hang around here any time at all... Sally

This is the make and take project the girls were teaching in the Market booth. Cute huh? This was made by Jackie

There are 5 more projects and awesome ladies in the book as well... ummm me included.

So the first Giveaway for the 500th post giveaway is a copy of this book. I will even sign my pattern (a rotary cutting mat carrying bag with a fold out ironing surface) called Pack and Press (we fondly refer to it as the Pack and Play).

Just leave a message here saying anything you want :) but keep it PG please :)

Have an awesome Friday Fun Day :)

Lucy's Crab Shack is here

Trumpet ... DO DO DO ... 500th post

Woo hoo! I made it... never thought I would get here. And most of you are still here wanting to read what I say... that is the amazing part :)

So we are gonna have a little PARTAY... what do I do to party? Give stuff away of course... starting tomorrow and going for 5 days (5 for 500) I will post a prize each day that you can win by commenting on the giveaway post. I will explain better tomorrow :)

This is really bad... I can't remember what I have posted about the new fabrics that are in because I am getting a new collection every day. Yesterday evening Dress Up Days came:

 It is so stinking cute... I adore the bicycles and the dogs in the wagons. I also love the girls with the clothes lines and dancing in the rain... such cute stuff. The sherbety orange is my favorite!

Here is a picture of the doll you can make with the panel. Sorry the picture is not the greatest it was a little dark in her booth. The doll is so cute in real life though. She even has a second dress you can put on her.

You can find it here

So don't forget to come back tomorrow. I promis ethis is stuff you want :)

Wednesday Wonder with Anna Maria Horner

Hi Everyone,

Are you tired of me yet? Just to prove I am reading your comments on Fridays giveaway here is a picture of the feather quilt by Anna Maria Horner one of you said you wanted to see it :)

 I have to admit when I bought the collection I was a little worried about the cheetah print but after seeing how truly nuetral it becomes when paired with the other fabrics I am kind of loving it now.

 Here is AMH and my sweet roomie Adrianne. Thanks again Adrianne for keeping me together :) You are the best!

AMH's booth she won a ribbon for it :)

 More of the booth. I wish I would have gotten a close up for the little purse in the upper left corner. The main outside fabric is the cheetah print with one of the florals for a ruffle and it is adorable.

I loved this dress too ...

Tomorrow is my 500th blog post... eep! What shall we do? You will have to come back to find out :)

Vintage Modern Is Here

Isn't it pretty? Come and get some :) Here.
