This is my 300th blog post and since beginning this blog 2 1/2 years ago, my life has changed in so many wonderful ways.
Most importantly, I have met many new friends on line and IRL! This 'sharing' post is for those people who have shared with me their time, their creativity, their 'stuff', their friendship.
Here's what is on offer: fabric. I have LOADS of it and I want to share some of it with one of you.
 |
| Some photos from my stash. Not necessarily what I'll be giving. |
So, to be in the running for a parcel of fabric loveliness, just leave me a comment with 5 words to describe your favourite types of fabric.
Here are some examples to get you thinking:
- floral
- vintage
- linen
- Japanese
- solid
- geometric
- green/blue/purple/pink/etc
- designer
- voile
- spots
- bright
- childrens
- and so on .....

i won't enter because i'm still a fairly new reader (a week? two?), but i wanted to pop in and say i love this giveaway!
i once gave away a copy of EQ7 and had a couple hundred comments. i only have 30 followers, and only about 10 of them read and comment regularly. i'd love to recognize the people whom i've connected with!
Please don't enter me in your fab giveaway Ms Andi, I am away from the machine just now. I just wanted to pop past and say that Miss Indi, reading over my shoulder, remembers the day you baught all those spotties and was wandering if they have become anything yet? X
Wow, that is a generous offering you are having. Blue, Bright, Cheerful, Blendable, old school.
How generous Andi - Congrats on the milestone.
I love warm colours, slightly dusty colours, linens, japanese and spots

With warm regards from Jerusalem.
Just five letters, Andi - voile! Congratulations on your achievements!

Congratulations Andi!
My 5 words would be: Bright, Japanese, Saturated, Designer, Floral. Wow, that was really hard, I could have added another 10 words easily - which I guess really just means that I am not too picky :)

You're so sweet.
Bright, floral, yellow, vintage, designer

I love ya work!!!! xxx
andi - Cogratulations on 300! I really need to thank you (but at times could possibly have cursed you). I met you at a couple of Amitie classes and your blog was the first one I had ever looked at - I didn't even know what they were until you handed me your little (skinny) card you had with the details on it.I still have that card in my sewing box. Consequently, your blog is first on my list on bookmarked blogs (out of about 200 (or more)). I spend so much time (well what I have of it) viewing beautiful crafty blogs thanks to you and have finally taken the step of starting my own. Thank you.

Isn't blogging the best fun? You know I wish I lived closer so I could get involved in all the fabulous craftiness that goes on in Melbourne (obviously that reads 'so I could be closer to my family';-) but being able to share lives and grow freindships online is a good second best.
My words?
patterned, pretty, green, bright & coloured.
(haha, word ver is 'metromp'. Yes, Ithink we did.)
We are celebrating our 300th blog also. You might want to look into our giveaway. I've been following your blog for sometime now. Thanks for the opportunity. Since we make comfort quilts for sick children my 5 words would be

Before I met you - sitting beside a swimming pool, draped in my other children - I had never even heard of a blog. It took a bit of encouragement (techno dufus that I am) but I'm so glad that you showed me the world of wonderfully creative, inspiring people who share through their blogs - obviously you included!
Thankyou!
Thanks for:
*the introduction to all this
*helping me bind my first quilt
*showing quilts and projects that're funky and gorgeous
*sharing wonderful ideas
*convincing me that pink and orange do really work together
You're Ace!
Cheers and happy 300th
Jen
You are such a generous soul, so here goes:
Pink, orange, floral, liberty and spots!!!
