50 comments... a GIVEAWAY!

Challenge for you all today.....

I have some more fat quarters I'd like to give away:

It's a fat quarter of each print shown from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain line.

Here's how to play--leave a comment and tell me where you are and what you're working on today. So for example,

I'm Wendy, I'm in the great state of Texas, and today I'm hoping my 2-year old will take a nap so that I can quilt my hula girls quilt actually quilted and get it in the mail. And I'm making a special dessert for a friend's 30th birthday get-together. And lamenting that I'm farther away from 30 than I'd like to admit...

I'll choose a winner randomly on Sunday night.
If we can get over 50 comments I'll give away 2 sets.... :)

ready, set, GO!

Amy Butler fabric giveaway winners!

That's right, winners.

You people are so lovely. You have such wonderful ideas of things to do to rescue this poor fabric from the abyss of my stash. So there will be 2 winners.

Lara and calicodaisy, you are the lucky winners of the Amy Butler fabric. Send me your address, and I'll ship it off to you! Please, please, please when you use it, send me a picture or something and I'll post it or link to it or whatever. It will bring my heart joy!

So as long as you're here, fellow fabric lovers, I'll tell you the rest of the story..... get a cup of tea and pull up a chair, ok?

So I bought this fabric for my little girl's room, I told you that. I bought it on a Bad Day. You see, my baby was premature, and I bought it when she was about a week old, after I came home from visiting her. She really waasn't doing well that day, and I decided to make myself Feel Better by buying fabric. Because some things you just need to make better by buying something Pretty. So I bought the olive/white stuff masquerading as pink/brown (3.5 yards of it!!), and as an afterthought I bought some Amy Butler Henna Paisley on sale on etsy from the same seller. It made me feel better that day, but much worse when it arrived!

But oh well. .... and by the way, my baby girl is better, did come home from the hospital not long after, etc, etc. And here's the fabric I actually did her room in:

Yep, the bottom is the Amy Butler Henna Paisley I bought on a whim.
Good thing I bought it that day.
Another day I'll post a picture of her bedding I made. I thought it was rather crafty.... but I'll let you be the judge of that!

This week's giveaway....

I have to admit, I enjoyed the Sew, Mama, Sew giveaway this week.

It was fun.

I'm glad to have made new blogging friends!

I'm glad you're here.

So this week I'm giving away something else.

Do you ever buy fabric and then wonder why the heck you bought it?

That's what I did. I bought this online without checking the manufacturer's site for color accuracy. In the picture, it was pink and brown and was going to be simply gorgeous in my daughter's room. In reality it's white and olive... and it's not my colors.

But perhaps it's yours?

It's 2 fat quarters of Amy Butler's Daisy chain fabric.

I've seen some really beautiful things made with this fabric lately.

Anyhoo... to enter, just leave a comment and tell me what you'd do with it.
{Anything is better than what I've done with it--leave it in a drawer for 3 months occasionally pulling it out and deciding NOT to use it...}

I'll choose a winner on Friday June 5. Check back to see if you won!
And I'll post the winner of the watermelon quilt tomorrow.
