Olympic stress levels... and a giveaway!

As I write, most of Canada is holding their breath and sending positive vibes across the oceans to Sochi, Russia. I'm not even a big hockey fan and I'm up early on a Sunday morning to watch our boys in the Gold Medal game! What am I using to keep the nerves at bay? Why EPP, of course!
I've been plugging away at these throughout the Olympics... though I must say that the stress of the Women's Curling and Hockey gold medal games saw me adding a lot of diamonds. Frantic stitching offers some distraction!
 It was so lovely in the studio this morning that I couldn't resist this sunny money shot!
Quatchi and I have planted ourselves on the couch in front of the TV, just where we were when Sid the Kid scored the Golden Goal four years ago in Vancouver. Not that we're superstitious. He likes the blue diamonds best.... they match his earmuffs!
After seeing all these pics, are you leaning toward something rainbow-y or bright? Keep reading!
You know those fabulous Kona fat quarter collections that arrive in my mailbox monthly? Well, the shop behind all that fun is having a big deal of a sale coming up. It's Fat Quarter Frenzy at Sew Sisters!
Carol over at Sew Sisters stumbled onto me during Blogathon Canada (huge shout out to Adrienne at Cheezzetcook Modern Quilts for that hook-up!) and has asked if I'd host a giveaway. Would I?!!! You betcha!

So here's what you might win...
 
It's bundle of 5 Bright Fat Quarters. And because those Sew Sisters are just so nice, the giveaway is open to international participants as well.  The giveaway starts NOW!!! and is open until Wednesday, February 26th at 8 pm AST. Talk about a nice way to finish off the Month of the Dark Lord! The giveaway is now closed.

To enter, just leave me a comment telling me your favourite fabric over at Sew Sisters. There's certainly lots to choose from. You might even want to consider following their blog so you don't have to rely on me to let you know when there's a sale on. Just sayin'... And if you're one of my followers on Bloglovin' or by e-mail, leave me a separate comment to let me know and you'll get a second crack at the giveaway!

Okay people... fingers crossed - for the giveaway and for an Olympic Double Double! That'd be Gold in Men's and Women's Curling AND Hockey!

  1. How does a person pick a favorite fabric? My favorite is almost always the one in front of me at the time. I took a look at Sew Sisters to try to answer this challenge - and I can't! So I think I'll go with these 5 FQs you have for give-away! Thanks for the chance!

  7. How exciting that Sew Sisters approached you. I can't pick a favourite fabric, but I receive the monthly Bargain Lover's fat quarter package. It's awesome to receive in the fabric each month.

  14. I would thumb wrestle Quatchi for those blue triangles but he could keep the earmuffs! I just ordered 10 Kona fat quarters, so I guess that would be my fave right now. I am lovin' that bundle of brights too. fingers crossed.
