Man alive, people sure do come out of the woodwork when there’s fabric to be won! 117 comments, wow!

Great to have all of you stop by and comment, and fun to get some solid fabric love.  Without further ado, my virtual computer friend at Random.org says that the winner is:

#105: Helen! Who said:

I really like Sage, and think they should add pomegranate. Neat giveaway.

I couldn’t agree more, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sage (and will be ordering several yards from Peg & Becca in the very near future…).

Helen, I have sent you email, so please get back to me with your mailing address!  As for everyone else, come back soon and I hope to have a little destash giveaway of my own.

Happy Sewing!

Welcome to my very first giveaway!

I am thrilled to be working with my friends Peg and Becca at Sew Fresh Fabrics.  Peg and Becca are a pair of fabric-loving quilters who recently opened an Etsy shop, specializing in modern designer cottons and Kona solids (a shop after my own heart!). I have crossed quilt-y paths with them in various places – Flickr quilting bees, the blogosphere, and even our local quilt guild.  That’s right, I might be shopping online, but I’m also shopping local! It’s more than just fabric, though.  Not only are you supporting a pair of wicked awesome gals by shopping with them, but you know you’re working with people who love it just as much as you do.  You can tell when the package shows up at your front step (or, in my case, when Peg knocks on my back door – lucky me!), pressed and folded and packaged with great care.

Anyways, today I’m lucky enough to give away one fat quarter bundle of the new Lizzy House collection, Castle Peeps! This will be six fat quarters in the green colorway.  How much do you love this new line?!

To enter, visit the shop and leave a comment telling me your favorite color Kona Cotton that they have currently in stock, and what color you think they should order next!  (Seriously, people. Solid obsession over here. Stage an intervention.)

Comments will remain open until this Friday at 5pm.

And if you want to keep up with all of the great stuff they have in stock, you can also check out their blog, as well as “like” them on Facebook.  They’ll have another shipment of Tufted Tweets next month (squee!), and a continually expanding selection of solids.

Thanks to Becca and Peg for doing this giveaway with me, and for being such a great (local to me!) resource for beautiful fabric!

Edited: comments are now closed, but if you want to order some fabric or suggest new colors of Kona to Becca and Peg, you can always reach them through the Sew Fresh blog!

I am in the middle of re-organizing and cleaning my sewing space (aka guest bedroom), and have come to terms with the fact that I am simply not going to be doing any knitting or crocheting anytime soon.  And the yarn is taking up valuable real estate for fabric, so it must go.

Do you want it?

Yarn Stash, ready for a new home

It’s a mixed bag, for sure.  Some soft wool, some squeaky acrylic. Some bulky, some fingering-weight. 3/4 skein of one, five skeins of another. Heck, I’ll even throw in the half-completed sweaters for you to frog and get more yarn out of.  There’s a darn good amount of yarn, there.

So, here’s the deal: I want it out of my house. I would love to trade it for some hard-to-find fabric, so if you’ve got some to offer, let me know.  Flea Market Fancy, out of print Heather Ross, a charm pack of Wee Play, whatever.  I’m not asking for a lot, but I’d feel a little better if I got something in return for all of this wool and cotton.

(Oh, and you know how I feel about people who flake on this sort of thing… don’t make me publicly call you out. That’s all I’m going to say about that.)

If you don’t have anything to offer but still want the yarn, let me know anyways and maybe I’ll pull a random commenter to share the wealth. You never know, people may only offer me creepy clown novelty prints, in which case I’d rather just ship the yarn and not get anything in return.

Since this is going to require a rather large box to ship, I have to keep it to U.S. people, only.

Anyways, leave a comment by this Friday, April 2, if you want in!
