And yes, I have had a pedicure and my toes are now bright red. Orange is so last week.
I also knocked up this dear little... deer. Oh deer. Oops. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Will behave now.
I used an easy trapunto method which I'll do a tutorial for sometime. He IS cute, but don't fawn over him too much. (SORRY!)
But back to the important stuff. A few weeks ago, an obsession with 'script' fabric led me to Pink Castle Fabrics and Brenda kindly put together a special custom bundle for me. But that didn't make up the full quota you can fit in a mailing bag. (When we pay $12.95 for shipping to Australia, you want the full 9 yards, and I don't mean the Bruce Willis movie).I had a pretty good stash of solids, but there are always room for a few more. One thing Pink Castle Fabrics has is a 'random set of solids' - 8 fat quarters in various colours (pic below is from Pink Castle's Etsy Shop). I thought I could do with a few more for my FMQQAYGQAL (I really should have picked a better acronym shouldn't I? I may yet change it to FMQML).
After I placed my order, I got onto my blog reading and the first blog I opened had a special discount code offer from (you guessed it) Pink Castle Fabrics. DAMMIT. I cursed my luck to Brenda, and she immediately refunded me the difference! She was under no obligation to. My fault for shopping before reading blogs. So how sweet was that?!
Anyway, they arrived in super fast time and Brenda had picked a LOVELY selection for me so I emailed her to thank her and told her how useful they'd be my FMQAL. She loved the idea and she loves solids, and she said that she'd like one of you to have a mystery bundle of solids too! I've also just discovered she has 2.5" jelly rolls in solids - (why didn't I think of this before I cut up all my sashing for the blocks?!).
All you have to do to win a bundle of 8 FQ solids from Pink Castle Fabrics is leave me a comment telling me what you'd like from PCF - I have my eye on this. Yum!

ReplyDeletePezzy Prints Charm pack, I want to make a Happy Birthday bunting out of it.
ReplyDeleteBlockprint Blossom in Blush Heirloom by Joel Dewberry Cotton Fabric is verrry pretty!!! fenna_otten at yahoo dot ca

ReplyDeleteI love the Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow line.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I just realised there was something else I wanted for Christmas. Half Moon Modern needs to be in my stash. Brenda is fantastic!

ReplyDeleteI love bundles of fabric, so I'd have to say that I love the Ruby bundle at her shop! Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOoh Half Moon Modern! Would love a fat quarter bundle of that, but a layer cake is probably more realistic :)
ReplyDeleteI am working on decorating my room and found some fabric that caught my eye. Aqua dots on white, handwritten script and swirly buds in blue.
ReplyDeleteI love Pink Castle Fabrics! I like the snip snip scissors in aqua - I have some projects lined up just for me once holiday sewing madness has passed and that would be perfect for some of the bits and pieces I want to make for my sewing area. Although I'm woefully low on solids so I'm excited you're giving those away.
ReplyDeleteOoh -- I would pick the layer cake of Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934. I LOVE that line. THanks for a great giveaway!

ReplyDeleteIt's those solids that caught my eye, so my pick would be some Kona Solids. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteWell I like just about everything in the shop but shout have to go for something from Good Fortune by Kate Spain. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between some Kona cotton solids--there are always one or two more colors I'm wishing I had--or Half Moon Modern. I guess I would just close my eyes and point at the screen, because pretty much anything is great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great wee shop! So many great fabrics, but I've actually been lusting after some Chevron prints lately and they have a great selection! (then again, solids are always welcome)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
Sarah @ http://kiwigetscrafty.blogspot.com
