200 Followers Winner {a giveaway!}

Well it's about time I pick a winner for the giveaway celebrating my 200th Instagram follower. 

 

Congratulations Anne!!

Now you can expand your modern fabric collection!  I'll be emailing you shortly.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered the giveaway.  I appreciate your support so much.

I'll be back later this week with some updates from Round Trip Quilts and some more finishes!

Thank you! Thank you! {a giveaway!}

I am seriously blow away by all of you.  First of all thank you.  After my post on June 19th my instagram followers jumped by nearly 80 people! Wow!  Thank you!  And thanks to Jayne for being the 200th person!  

When I started this blogging adventure I didn't know that there would be so many people who would appreciate what I am doing here.  I figured, at best, my grandparents, cousins, and some random people from high school would follow along with feigned interest.

I had no idea how much support I would get from all of you.  You help me make design decisions and tough calls when I'm not sure how to proceed with a project.  You help keep me from being overly critical of my work when I've fallen out of love.  And you help me fall back in love.

4.  Round Trip Quilts Center, 5.  Beautiful NH Day, 6. Quilt rulers building stairs 

You let me be open and honest with my work, even when it's not that great.  You aren't afraid to tell me that something isn't working and I always appreciate that extra set of critical eyes.  You've followed along on house projects and family trips and you've put up with ALL of the cat pictures.

You have helped me find new patterns and learn new skills.  You've directed me to resources when I have been totally and completely stuck.  And you asked what's wrong when I've disappeared.

Thank you.  Thank you so much for all that you do for me.  Your kindness and openness has helped me grow so much.  Because of everything that you do for me, I want to do something for you.

Giveaway Winner

Thank you again to everyone who entered the giveaway for this weeks Mosaic Tuesday post.  The winner of this lovely bundle is Laura!  (Laura, I've sent you an email directly to get your address).

Mosaic Tuesday - Navy, Papaya, Butter, & hints of Green and a Giveaway! {Quiltspiration 365}

Thanks to some of the lovely ladies over at Late Night Quilters I'm happy to introduce a new series of weekly posts I'm calling Mosaic Tuesdays (for lack of a better name at this point).  It's part of an effort we're calling quiltspiration365‬, intended to fulfill your every need when it comes to quilty inspiration 365 days a year.  You can find more posts about the series on Facebook and instagram using the hashtag #quiltspiration365 as well as links to the other posts this week below.  I'll be sharing color mosaics that inspire me, and hopefully you as well.  This will be an interactive series so I'll encourage you to post links to the color palettes that have been inspiring you lately!  Feel free to use these to inspire your projects I just ask that you link back to the original color pallet post to give credit.  So without further adu...

Today's mosaic palette is mood and sweet at the same time.  Dark Navy is balanced by Rich Papaya.  Bright Buttery Yellow give is a pop, and hints of Soft Green take it beyond the basic red, yellow, and blue color palette.

The best part about today is that I'm giving away a Fat Quarter bundle from my own stash in this color palette.  What do you think?  Do you like this palette in fabric as much as in a mosaic?  I do for sure.  Use the Rafflecopter widget at the end of the post to enter the giveaway.  Drawing ends on Friday, August 1st and I'll draw and announce a winner on Saturday.

This bundle includes 8 fat quarters of quilt shop quality fabrics, two yards worth of fabric!

Be sure to search for the hashtag #quiltspiration365 for even more inspiration!
