Yes... I want to take the time to say "Thank you" for your support and encouragement. Your sweet comments and feedback mean the world to me -- thank you, thank you!
To help ME celebrate YOU I have two fantastic businesses chipping in for a spectacular Week 4 Giveaway.
First, allow me introduce you to my dear friend Cindy from Sew It Is.
Cindy is one of those angel friends that fall out of the sky and into your
...and the story goes... I was shopping online for a specific line of fabric when I came across this shop not far from home - never having heard of this shop I picked up the phone and dialed.
When I realized where she was located I told her I could be there via horseback in 30 minutes!!
Yippee!! Since that day our friendship has grown, and she has been a constant source of encouragement -- not to mention a great source of fabric at fantastic prices!!
Cindy's Shop "SewItIs" is located in Endicott, NY, but a majority of her fabric business is done via her online shop at www.sewitis.com.
You must click over to the shop and check out her fantastic prices on the newest lines of Moda, Henry Glass, Andover, Hoffman - - Batiks, Cottons, Novelty Prints, Wide Backs, and others.
Here are a few of my favorite fabrics...
Sweet Serenade by BasicGrey for Moda -- $8.00 a yard -- WOW!

SewItIs has a fantastic lineup of Grunge fabric all at $8.00 a yard. How about a pretty little chevron quilt with these colors!
One thing I failed to mention, the clearance section at SewItIs is fantastic -- REALLY great prices on quality fabrics, pattern, books and tools.
SewItIs offered to sponsor the Week 4 Giveaway with Moda Mini-Charms - not 1, not 2, but 5 (yes five) Moda Mini Charms - - oh the cute little things you can make with these!!
For some cherries on top of this ice cream, we have another fantastic Thread Pack of Aurifil Mako Cotton 50 wt thread to give away.
Aurifil is sponsoring this giveaway with a Thread Pack of "Everyday Color" by Me and My Sister Designs. You can read Barb and Mary's great introduction to their Everyday Color Aurifil Thread Pack on their blog post here.
Those of you that know me know that I use Aurifil Mako 50Wt thread for piecing, quilting and hand applique. Little lint, few breaks and great looking results!! Love Aurifil thread...
Many thanks to both SewItIs and Aurifil for their generosity!
How about these beautiful Everyday Color threads !! Woohoo -- just beautiful.
