Hey everyone - this post is going up pretty late. I've been prepping for Quilt Market and it was only on my radar as of last week - when I saw the gals at SewMamaSew post their giveaway image on instagram. Never-the-less, I had to get this up and join in the fun as I have in the past.

So I'm giving away the following:

2) My May 2014 Quilt Market swag:  2 - 1.25" pins and 2 - 8.5" squares of limited edition fabric - one each of my turtle, and one each of my lobster. You can finish the edges to make them into a hanky, or use them for a cute mini quilt, or anything else your heart desires

3) Dritz Sewing Notions: Quick Turn tools, Mark-B-Gone, Assorted Craft Needles, Doll Needles, Pearlized Pins, Seam Ripper, EZ Pull Bodkin, Point Turner & Presser

  131. My good friend's little man has been in the hospital most of his life with an incredibly rare genetic disease. It is not even a named disease yet and so they have to answers and everything is trial and error. It has been rough for them, and their motto has always been "slow and steady" with the image/picture of a turtle! When my youngest was born he was 5 weeks early and stayed in nicu for 2 weeks and they came by with a stuffed turtle telling us about their mantra and how it has kept them going for the long haul. I would hopefully be able to turn this around and find something awesome to make their little with this turtle fabric square! Thank you for this generous giveaway!
