❇ Joie de Vivre Bundle ~ Fat Quarter Shop Giveaway! ❇
**GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED**
My favourite fabric prints are the ones that make me smile, a pretty print can give you that 'feel good' vibe. Bari J. has created a beautiful collection that is rich and still playful, at the same time both dreamy and striking.
Today's giveaway from Fat Quarter Shop is the stunning Hivernal Cloud Bundle of 10 fat quarters from Joie de Vivre by Bari J for Art Gallery Fabrics.
Through Joie de Vivre, an exuberant enjoyment of life, Bari J. paints the essence of her style - abundant with vibrant gem colors, and in this case, surrounded by pugs, butterflies, striking geometrics, and an all around eclectic feel.
I am smitten with Bari J.'s gorgeous bouquets and the way she mixes them with bold and modern geometrics. This bundle would make a great addition to anyone's fabric stash!

Sunday Stash ~~ Fat Quarter Shop giveaway!
**Giveaway now closed**
Molli Sparkles was busy getting into the groove with Madonna this weekend so I'm happily hosting Sunday Stash. I have a few stash additions to share and will be giving away a fabulous fat quarter bundle thanks to Fat Quarter Shop!
Recently I ordered glue pen refills from Simply Solids. There is panic when I'm low on both those and the Styla pens, I like having back ups! They don't make for a great photo but it's okay because I couldn't resist some lovely fabric too:
top to bottom: Stitches in Petunia, Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander; Ladder Lines in Sage, Doe by Carolyn Friedlander; Tiny Crosses in Winter Sage, Tucker Prairie by One Canoe Two; Dusk Weave, Bright Sun by Sherri & Chelsi; Shibuya Rust, Tokyo Train Ride by Sarah Watts and Don't Fence Me In in Teal, The Highlands by Violet Craft - this is a gorgeous blender print!
I adored Pearl Bracelets and so the Mini Pearl Bracelets were a must for me, I was in a subtle mood when I got these two from The Village Haberdashery:
I got 2 metres of The Big One in Pepper, Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander from Patchfinders. I have plans for this! Any left overs will find their way into many other projects, this is a great neutral modern print.
I also got my third month of the Patchwork of the Crosses Quilt BOM from Sew and Quilt and Jessie nailed it again, such beautiful fabrics! I can't resist Liberty, it's so classic and pretty.
I have lots to be getting on with.
If you would like some pretty fabric to play with you're in luck because Fat Quarter Shop are kindly giving away this Essentials II by Pat Bravo Fat Quarter Bundle - 18 fat quarters!

Good Luck!

something else to do
Grateful
I have so many reasons to be thankful. Despite feeling a bit poorly at the moment (my throat is red raw!) I had a lovely email from the Fat Quarter Shop to tell me I'd won Kim Kight's gorgeous Blogger's Choice Fat Quarter Bundle from the giveaway at The Jolly Jabber:
I have also had an amazing couple of days experiencing the kindness of blogging friends. I can't really say much because (if you don't know by now) I'm a total sap. I will cry and get way too mushy.
Firstly the talented and wonderful Nathalie at Noas' Libellule sent me this beautiful thank you for my guest post. I love the tape on the packaging and then I honestly sat stroking these for probably a bit too long!
My picture doesn't do justice to the colours, the green is deeper and so soft and yummy, I have to find a special place to put these mats but for now I've hung them up so I can admire them! I can't crochet so I'm in awe! She also makes divine shawls, scarves, blankets and has a great tutorial for a lace pouch - it's gorgeous! Thank you my creative friend! (just to point out I've not actually met her... yet! Trying to persuade her to get a ticket!!).
I also spent some time stroking the contents of another incredible package (I don't have a fetish or anything I just like texture ok?!!). This was from Deborah at Simply Miss Luella, her blog is so nicely designed and her projects are beautiful! I think we have very similar taste and all her makes are so bright and colourful. She sent this out of the kindness of her heart and well just look...
It's my own DS collection! I just love all her lines. After the gift from my friend the other day and this beautiful lot I'm entirely in fabric heaven. Deborah you are gracious and kind, thank you!
The next package was from a generous linker of the Fugly fabric party - Lisa at In The Boon Docks, she had a couple of sets of her fugly fabric left and sweetly offered to send them to me since I didn't actually participate! I have so many projects I want to make but I will be using these bundles to make another quilt to donate to our local children's centre. Thank you so much Lisa! I know the kids will love it and use it, the fabric is so soft!
And then as if those lovely gifts weren't enough I received such a wonderful email from another amazing blogger, the marvellous Jodi at Tickle and Hide, thanking me for the linky party. As a direct result of her giveaway she actually met up with another sewer in her area! It's an incredible story and I welled up reading her email. It was my intention for people to visit other blogs and hopefully make new blogging friends, to have had a hand in a 'real life' one too just blows my mind! When I think of how wonderful this community really is, you know what I do, *blubbing*!!
I have a little something to share with you all, not as exciting as actual fabric I know but it might prove helpful to somebody.
I got totally sick of the scrappy piece of paper stuck above my sewing machine with my list of projects on. It wasn't very inspiring and there was scribbles all over it. In the hopes of being a bit more organised I spent some time on picnik and created this:
It's a pretty 'To Sew List' so I can clearly see what I'm making, I can write the pattern or title. There's space to write what fabric I'm going to use and also a column titled 'for', which could either be who I'm making it for or a date if there's a deadline.
If you fancy one of your own you can easily download and print it out for yourself using the link below. I have seen some clever bloggers who put lists like this in frames so you can write on it with wipeable marker and don't need to print more copies! I'm just not that organised so bluetak and paper it is!
And if that doesn't really excite you (which is fine!) on Monday I'll be announcing plans for a new linky fabric swap so watch out :)
Oh and if your stuck with nothing to do this weekend and happen to live anywhere near Bletchley Park - unfortunately I don't :( - go and visit this exhibition. My Auntie has a wall hanging there!! I've not even seen it yet but I know I will when it's finished it's tour!
