Black WEEK Sale

Instead of having a Cyber Weekend Sale like last year I've decided to extend it for the whole week :)
Everything in my shop is 20% off today through next Monday, November 28th.
I need to reduce inventory to make room for, yes, the SPRING collections!!

And not that I would consider myself a regular blogger by any means.... the reason I've been away for so long is that it has been difficult to come back here after my last post. See, the last time I posted, that evening my mother had a massive heart attack. Long, long story short, it was a long recovery but she is back in her home now and doing well.
And I'm thankful.
Very thankful.

Week Four FQ Bundle and a Sew A Long

Hi everyone!
This is going to be a quickie, I'm having an Aviary 2  frenzy around here and am cutting and filling orders like crazy! If you are thinking about getting some, it's going super fast!! I've already ordered more but I'm not sure if it will be in stock or if we'll have to wait for the 2nd printing.... Look at this gorgeous photo from Joel's blog~

Loving this lilac palette!

Now on to this week's fat quarter bundle, 10 fat quarters for 10 bucks! Really pretty blues, greens and grays for this week :)

And I would like to announce another sew a long! This time for a pretty dress for YOU! It's going on over at SewSweetness. We are making the "Jamie Dress" by Jennifer Paganelli. Flattering and Fun!

I'm offering a discount on the fabric for the dress so be sure to check her blog for the details :)
I will be making the dress (because a girl can never have too many projects going at once right? right?
Please tell me you have 10 things going too and you don't finish one thing at a time!!)

That's all for now.... I'm hoping to have another Rainbow Block finished for next post, I'm working on the orange one :)

Making a Rainbow

Have you noticed the Bottled Rainbows badge on the side of my blog? Can't miss it... a pretty grid of beautiful colors. It is for the Bottled Rainbows quilt along. A Ticker Tape quilt that you quilt as you go.
Fun! So fun that even though my pile of unfinished projects is toppling over, I had to play along.
My friend Rachel from Stitched in Color is hosting it and giving wonderful step by step instructions. Her blog is so inspiring and I'm honored to sponsor it :)
So here is my first block, only 15 blocks to go....

I made up a few scrap bags to sell in my shop as I was cutting mine. Not enough to make the whole quilt but enough to get you started.

In other shop news, I've listed this weeks Fat Quarter Tuesday bundle. It's a pretty spring mix of greens, violets, peach, pinks and ivory. I also found one last bundle from last week if you missed it. I also listed some of those one of a kind sets. I'm just going to list a few of them each week when I list the new Tuesday special. Major bargains for you as I spring clean :)

Here's the Tuesday bundle for this week, 12 fat quarters for $12.00!

Fat Tuesday, Fat Quarter Special

Hi all!
I've just listed week one's fat quarter bundle in the shop. 18 fat quarters for $18.00 from the awesome Jennifer Paganelli.

Gorgeous isn't it??
In limited supply for one week only! I'll be listing a new bundle every Tuesday from now until Easter.
Destashing my skinny bolts of fabric that only have a couple yards on them... making room for new collections :) Hurry and snatch one up, at $1.00 a fat quarter, I don't think they will be around long!

Last Day for Christmas Sale and Spring mud

Hi!

If your mud isn't muddy enough, just add water.

Let's play catch up, Part one :)

Well! First let me say Merry Christmas... Happy New Year... Happy Valentines Day!
Such a naughty, bad blogger I've been! I do write blog posts, I should say I think of blog posts, lots of them, but don't find the time to type them down. Worst part is once it's been so long trying to jump back in but here goes....
shop news:
** Just marked items in my Christmas shop way down for a final sale and listed some one of a kind sets. I'll close up the Christmas shop on March 1st and then will reopen late summer/ early fall for next season. Already have loads of new stuff ordered and will show some sneak peeks once it starts rolling in during May :)
** I have a bunch of ooak sets for my regular shop too and will get those listed next week... I'll let you know the exact day/time, they always get snatched up right away because they are seriously priced to sell!
** Have you heard Joel Dewberry is coming out with Aviary 2?? The first collection was wildly popular and this one is sure to be too. The birds will be back in 6 gorgeous colors. I have the whole collection ordered and can't wait for it to come in. Here's a few...

Swoon, right? 

Okay since this is getting longish... will be back tomorrow with family news (there's a new addition) and sewing news :)

p.s. Don't be ridiculous, the new addition is not human!
