Time for a BEAUTIFUL giveaway!

What do you think of this BEAUTIFUL BOM quilt that Shabby Fabrics has starting this year?  Isn't it just the most gorgeous thing EVER?  OMGosh, I'm head over heals about it and can't wait until it starts in July. 




Jennifer's newest design is called Sweetheart Houses. Perfect for Valentine's Day, it is also sweet enough for year-round appeal. Quilt finishes to 65" x 68". Here is the link to the pattern.

The fabrics shown are from Penelope 4, 5 & 6 by Holly Holderman for Lakehouse Dry Goods. Love this look? Sign up for their Block of the Month program, beginning in July. I will definitely be signing up for this one.  I. Must. Have. 

They also have embellishing kits available which include all of the buttons, charms, ric rac, and other embellishments used in the quilt.

Jennifer never ceases to amaze me with her wonderful designs.  I wish I had the time to do each and every one of them. So, so pretty.

Okay, about that giveaway!  LOL  Shabby Fabrics has generously offered to give away one complete set of the patterns to a lucky winner.  WOAH!  I would LOVE to win this one!  If you love houses, love PINK, and love the look of this awesome quilt, you will definitely want to sign up to win these patterns.  All you have to do is:

Mandatory:
1.  Be a follower of my blog.  Please leave a comment telling me that you are.
2.  Go here and sign up for Shabby Fabrics newsletter.  You'll be glad you did.  They will send you all kinds of good info about their new products, sales, etc.  I love getting mine in my inbox.  Come back and tell me you did so.

Extra entries just if you want to.  :0)

3.  Facebook about this and comment that you did.
4.  Tweet about this and comment with your link.
5.  Blog about this giveaway and comment that you did.
6.  Go here and come back and tell me what your favorite new product is.

That's it.  PLEASE PLEASE make sure that I have a way to get in touch with you.  If you are a no-reply blogger, please make sure that your email address is included in your comments.
This giveaway will end on Sunday, January 22, and I will announce the winner on Monday, January 23rd.  Good luck!

In other news, I've been sewing up a storm lately.  I've finished three Christmas cross stitched projects, almost finished a new purse/tote for MEEEEE (just need to add the handles which I will do today) , machine sewn the binding on a quilt (just need to do the hand sewing part) and have cut out 3 more quilts and a tabletopper.  I'm a sewing fool right now.  LOL  I love it when the mojo is in full swing and have to take advantage of it.  I will get some pictures uploaded as soon as I finish up the purse and quilt.

I hope your New Year is off to a good start!  Mine is so far.  I'm trying REAL hard to be positive about what I'm accomplishing instead of brewing about what I'm NOT getting done.  I tend to do that sometimes which makes me feel like I don't accomplish anything.  Even if I can mark off one itty bitty thing off of the list, it's better than nothing, right?  Right!  It works for me, anyway.  :0)

Have a good rest of the week, dear friends, and good luck in the giveaway!  I'll be back real soon.  :0)

Love and hugs from Texas (a balmy 78 degrees??)
