Do you like Candy Apples?

I remember when I was a child and we would go to the fair.  They always had those delicious candy apples.  You know the ones I'm talking about.  The ones that made your dentist VERY, VERY happy!  I guess since we only had them once a year it was okay.  Thank goodness we never broke a tooth.  :0)

The candy apples that I want to show you today won't cause broken teeth or a trip to the dentist.  They will be TOTAL eye candy!! AND....you have a chance to add them to your stash.  Interested? 

Jodie at Fort Worth Fabric Studio has put together the prettiest fat quarter bundle ever, and it's got candy apples!!!  YAY!  I know it's close to Valentine's Day and you might not have time to make something with these pretty fat quarters, but me being the red lover that I am (but ya'll already knew that!), I would absolutely use these year round.  Oh yes I would!  I can see a most adorable table topper for my kitchen table with these.  Or an adorable quilt to hang over the top of my chair.  How about a new tote/purse?  TOO. CUTE.  Want to see what she's put together for you? 

Pretty much?


There are so many pretty bundles that Jodie has put together.  I've said it before and tell her all the time, she has a wonderful eye for putting fabrics together.  Every Friday she has a new Friday Bundle Batch to offer you.  I always can't wait to see what she's come up with.  I love the one that is up now.  Check it out!  It's called Itty Bitty Pink Ditty.  I love it!  If you would like to make something for Valentine's Day, you still have time to order some.  Jodie's shipping is as fast as lightning, so you'd get your fabric in time to make something special.  Look at these pretty pinks and reds and hearts and...... I want them ALLLLLL. 

Okay, back to the giveaway.  ;0)
If you would like to sign up to win this yummy fabric bundle, here is what to do:

Mandatory:

1.  Be a follower of my blog and tell me that you are.
2.  Sign up for Fort Worth Fabric Studio's newsletter and comment here that you did. 

Extras (these are only if you want extra entries and are not mandatory):

3.  Leave me a comment telling me one of your favorite Valentine's Day memories.  :0)
4.  Like FWFS on Facebook, comment that you did, and leave Jodie a shout out on her FB page.
5.  Tweet about this giveaway and leave a link telling me you did.
6.  Post about this on your blog or facebook page and tell me you did so.

and one more:

7.  Go to Fort Worth Fabric Studio, look through all the pretty fabrics, and come back and tell me your favorite fabrics.

Please make sure I have a way to get in touch with you by email.  If you win and I can't reach you, I will have to give the prize to someone else.  This giveaway will be open until midnight CST Saturday, February 4th, and I will announce the winner on Sunday evening.
Thank you to Jodie for yet another awesome giveaway!  I appreciate it so much!

So are you going to sew or watch the Super Bowl or both?  I know what I'll be doing, and it involves my sewing maching.  Just sayin'....  ;0)

Happy week, friends!

My favorite is memory is the year my god daughter was born. She is my bundle of joy. My husband sent roses to me and her mom took them from the florist I was at work. Well between me getting home and her going into labor I did not get my roses. But that is okay I got my god daughter and she is a treat everyday.

My favorite Valentine's memory is the first Valentines after my then boyfriend/fiance had together. We had gotten engaged after dating about three weeks back in November and he joked and bet me that I'd get tired of him before Valentine's day. If I won he had to send me flowers twice. If he won, it wouldn't matter because he'd be gone anyway (hee hee). Well, we were still together and he sent me two flower arrangements at work for Valentines! We've been married 18 years come May! {funny story - a few years back I got two floral arrangments again and I thought he was being romantic. NOT! Florist messed up and just made to arrangments for me.

My favorite Valentine's memory involves my high school fundraiser selling carnations. An ex-boyfriend gave me a red carnation (red = love), while my current boyfriend only gave me a pink one. I guess the pressure worked, because I have been married to the pink-carnation giver for over 25 years!

My favorite valentine's day was when I was around 6-7 and my dad gave me a stuffed pelican ( like the one I would imagine on The Red Skelton Show). How funny that I had not thought of that in a long time.

My favorite memories of Valentine is when my daugther brought home her Valentine project from school. It had a penny, a chocolate kiss and some other items in a brown paper bag. I little boy took her kiss and she was devastated. We put a new kiss in her sack and I still have her little brown bag with a very old kiss. She is now 21 years old and every year she askes me if I still have her kiss.

My best memory of Valentines day was one day at work, a delivery guy arrived with a beautiful big potplant. Well one of my co-workers was always getting stuff from her hubs, and mine isn't all that romantic. Well imagine my surprise when I found out that this was a gift for me!!! That was more than 20 years ago and the plant is still flourishing!!! :) It is a Syngonium " White Butterfly".
