I Just Entered An Awesome Giveaway!

Red Rose Farm Fat Quarters and Tea Towel Giveaway
Wow, I could only be so lucky. If you've checked out late bloomers blog you know what I'm saying about being lucky enough to be the recipient of this beautiful fabric. Sixteen fat quarters of bright, cheery, dare I say, flamboyant, insanely gorgeous fabric. That is such a generous giveaway.  I don't usually partake but this is so lovely and I so want to have it.  lol.  I, not so secretly, would love to have the fabric but would not be disappointed in the tea towel set either.  It's so cute. 

I know my fabric stash/supply is ugly but man it is never more prevalent than right after I look at all these blogs with these scrumptious fabrics and sweet projects made from them.  One day, I say, one day I shall have lovely fabrics!!!  lol.  I really, really wish I had known I would develop such a love of fabric and sewing and quilting because I would not have passed on some of my Grandma's massive, massive quilting stash had I known.  God rest her soul.  I miss that old gal.  She would have been wowed by today's choices.  Of course, Gran was tickled with anything because she knew hard times and I'm sure she made more than one quilt out of old clothes and scraps she accumulated throughout her years.  When she was able to buy new fabrics for her quilts, she was like a kid in a candy store.  lol.  Ah, the good old days.  The Ben Franklin store in Loudonville hated to see us coming when they had new fabric and such.  lol. 

I have a confession, I have not been faithfully working on my sewing for two days now.  I was on such a roll.  I don't know what got into me, maybe a pity party, but I've spent two days of sleeping and doing as little as possible.  lol.  Hubby just about might be at wits end with me on that so I think today I will do something.  lol.  Probably house cleaning/laundry related.  But of course, you know I had to come here first and foremost before I begin the "real" work.  I'm going to try to photograph the little doll quilt thingy I have put together and that is awaiting quilting to be complete.  I'd like to set some sewing goals for myself but I feel like that is too much pressure today with all the catching up I have to do in other areas.  lol.

No pressure to anyone but I hope you have great stitchy days!!
