Exciting Things Ahead!

We have some fun things planned for the next couple of days that we're just super excited about and thought we should just give you a little heads up!

First, Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour makes a stop here tomorrow. You'll get a sneak peek at some of the quilt blocks featured in the fifth volume and a look at some complete quilts. There might even be a giveaway as well ;)

Then on Wednesday, we're teaming up with designer Lesley Grainger to bring you a new six-week long series of giveaways called Grab-A-Fab.

Each Wednesday, we'll be giving away some of Lesley's wonderful fabric on our blog, and she will be giving away the same fabric on hers...so you'll have double the chance to win if you visit both blogs!

As you can tell, we're pretty psyched about all this and we hope you are too! If you'd like to take part in the festivities, please check back tomorrow and Wednesday.
