Winner! Winner!

Hey y'all! Just popping in to let you know that we have a winner of last week's giveaway from Fridays Off Fabric.

Mr. Random Number Generator selected lucky #3. That's Ioleen @ Back Home Quilter who said "A couple of years ago, my son go me a gift card for my LQS because he didn't know what to buy. He said he hoped I could find fabric I didn't already have. Of course I did, lol." It was lots of fun reading about your best quilty presents. You can always direct your loved ones to the comments section if they need ideas!

Making your Christmas list? {Sponsored Post}

Have you noticed that it's just one month until Christmas Eve? Yikes. How did that happen? Perhaps you're working away on your Christmas list for Santa. Does he know any cool, Canadian on-line fabric shops? Last Christmas, my in-laws stepped in for Santa and they sure did! Each month for 6 months, a squishy bundle of happiness arrived in my mailbox. You can check out some of the fabric-y goodness here, here, and here. This year, Alanna @ Fridays Off Fabric contacted me to see if I'd spread the word about it being easier to give Le Club. There are gift subscriptions - 3 or 12 months of the Full Stash (12 fat quarters) or the Half Stash (6 fat quarters).

Fridays Off carries lots of my favs - Carol Friedlander, Cotton & Steel,  Lizzy House, Ann Kelle. I could go on and on. But the selection isn't limited to the fabrics you see at every other shop. The bundles I received last year rarely contained fabric that I could buy at my LQS. 

And, because Alanna over at Fridays Off Fabric is so great, she's offering up a giveaway - November's Half Stash Bundle, featuring some lovely Christmas-y Cotton & Steel. I may or may not have some of these in my stash at the moment! ☺

To win, leave me a comment telling me about the best quilting related present you've ever received. And there's a bonus entry to those of you who follow Fridays Off Fabric. She has a shop newsletter and all the usual social media platforms. Just tell me how you follow. The giveaway is open to international participants until Monday, November 30th at 11:59 pm Atlantic Time. If you're a no-reply blogger, don't forget to leave an e-mail in your comment, otherwise you can't be contacted if Mr. Random Number Generator chooses you!

P.S. Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own.

P.P.S. If you don't manage to get the gift of Le Club this Christmas, Alanna's starting up a solids subscription club in January - 8 solid fat quarters every month for $19.99 a month.

Sunday Stash - Somethin' new!

Ah... squishy envelopes. They make my week! This week's envelope was particularly exciting as it contained my first Half Stash from Le Club at Fridays Off Fabric. They're a Canadian fabric shop (we like those!) with fun, modern fabric that I haven't seen at a lot of other shops or websites.

From left to right a Riley Blake Giraffe Stripe Teal, Giraffe Tic Tac in Teal, Sidewalks Starburst Red, a mystery print (leave me a comment if you can identify it!), Giraffe Dots in Cream, and Flo's Garden Toadstools in Slate. All the Giraffe prints are from a Riley Blake line, Giraffe Crossing.

As a selvage junkie, it's tough to have someone else pick out my fat quarters... I typically dig through and pick out the ones with selvages whenever possible. Three out of six ain't bad! Aren't those giraffes great?

That's it for fabric acquisitions this week. I'm not fasting, but then again, I'm not sewing a lot these days so it doesn't make sense to buy much. Le Club is an ongoing Christmas present... 6 months of squishy goodness arriving in the mail. If I love, love, love the selections over the months, I might even treat myself!

If you haven't read this blog, you need to! It always brings a smile to my face!
