Fabric Sale and Giveaway

The last of the slightly wind battered echinacea flowers.

There isn't a special reason, well not really. I haven't made a 100 posts or even 50 yet (but I'm working on it). There's nothing exciting going on .... unless you count the fact that my son had his brace changed this week and opted for blue 'elastics' across his top teeth and red (yes - I did say red) 'elastics' across his bottom teeth.

Now, with the white teeth inbetween, what European flag do you think that most resembles? I can't understand it, he's usually such a quiet boy. I can only be thankful that the school photo's have already been done and I don't have to explain it to my mother!

This is really just shop stuff, not celebrating stuff.

I'm having a bit of a Amy Butler fabric sale in the shop at the moment with reductions of between 10% and 15% because I'm expecting new stock soon and I desperately need the space for it. I get a bit carried away sometimes. Imagine the scene when the rep comes to call (I'm sure he doesn't mind me referring to him like that) and there's fabric..... real fabric, spread out everywhere and sometimes it's just too hard to resist and even when I think perhaps I shouldn't... I do.

Secondly, I have lots of odd bits of fabric left from various cuttings and filling of orders. So, I thought I'd share them by having a little giveaway. (I haven't done this before..... sometimes you just have to make your own excitement!) They range in size from just about 1/4 metre and there's one or two almost but not quite, fat quarters in there. The fabrics are a mixture of moda's , fabric from Amy Butler, (Those home decor fabrics are cut from a 54 inch bolt - that's a large fat quarter! ) there's a Joel Dewberry, a couple of Kaffe Fassett's and some solid colour fabric from Moda. If you patchwork at all, these are all useful pieces.

So, please relieve me of the responsibility of using up these pieces of fabric. If you're interested, just leave me a comment and on the 31st October at 6.00p.m., I'll get Rosie to pull a name out of a 'hat' (It'll probably be a bowl.) to see who the lucky person is. You'll need to check back though to see if you've won.

Red, white and blue braces - love it! Just think, if he criss crossed them over he could have his own Union Jack, though the dentist might not be thrilled.

And since you're offering, I'm sure I could make use of some fabric if you have too much ...

[Apryl]

lovely fabrics... I'm not very good at sewing yet but I have been collected little scraps to teach myself on so your giveaway would be brilliant to win... then when I have parcticed a bit more I might bite the bullet and actually buy some fabric!

I would happily relieve you of the responsibility of owning all that fabric!!! Just catching up on all of your posts, sorry I've been absent for a while. I love the look of Sew Hip and the bracelet you made with seed beads is just beautiful. Take care, can we get a photo of those braces?!!!

Hello hello - thought I would enter your give away - I must organise one myself because it seems to me that everyone else is so generous.

Have to tell you though, that just after I decided to tighten my belt in these tough economic times, I read your last post about Sew Hip and it looked so good that I went to the site and then ended up subscribing. So much for belt tightening! Still, it looks like it will be worth it!

Thanks!! ;o) Judy
