sponsor give-away: Cloud9 Fabrics

I have such a wonderful treat for us today!! Cloud9 Fabrics' latest line of delicious organic fabric, Beyond the Sea, has arrived!  Just in time for spring and summer sewing! Here's what they have to say about it:
This gorgeous second collection adds a wee touch of maturity yet maintains playful charm. Designer, Michelle Engel Bencsko continues to pull reference from nature and the whimsical side of life. With a little nod to Bobby Darin and the mod days of yore, the ever-popular seashore theme is at once idealized and abstracted and can be put to any number of uses. Great for nurseries and all things babies, but also clothing, home decor and accessories.

 Beyond the Sea is due to start shipping any day now- should be in shops by early next week. Here's a  list of their stockists, so you can choose where to purchase it. Might I add, that one of our other lovely sponsors, Modern Organic Fabrics, will be carrying it soon. Cloud9 is working on opening up a web shop to offer quilt kits and swatch sets. In the meantime, swatch sampler sets are available from their Big Cartel shop.


 love this bunting quilt!

On to the give-away! To celebrate this arrival, Cloud9 Fabrics is offering a full set of fat quarters: all 10 patterns (7 prints, 3 solids) to one of you!!

  Oh my, that's a lot of incredible organic fabric to play with! Just think of what you could be creating with that delicious stack!  Please leave a comment (with your contact info) between now and Tuesday April 13 at 5 pm EST. I'll announce the winner on Wednesday morning.  Good luck, friends! Pin It

  16. I've been reading your blog now for several months now since a coworker told me about it last October. I'm constantly inspired by your ideas and projects. I even went out and found my own coffee sacs to repurpose just like you do.

    Thank you so much for what you do and for being so generous in sharing with the crafting community.

    I would love to have a chance to work with those fabrics, especially the one with the tiny little sandpipers! And if I'm not the lucky lady to win your giveaway, I just might have to go and get some of my own!
