Swanky (a giveaway)



Because we went quilt shop shopping today, and need a little more space on our shelves, we're giving away a five fat quarter bundle of Swanky this week!  Yep, these pretty fabrics could be yours, all you have to do is let us know what you've been up to lately.  Here's mine:

I've been enjoying some beautiful fall foliage and the trails right outside my door.  And, of course, loving getting to live so near family for a while!  I could easily be spoiled in Virginia!

You have until Midnight EST next Tuesday, and the winner will be announced on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving!  Wow, I cannot believe the holidays are getting here so quickly.  Best of luck!

  6. Life unfortunately has been too busy with the boring things lately - too much work etc. - to have been doing the fun stuff!! I'm also getting ready to move in a month so have started "mentally packing" our apartment even if I haven't started actually pulled out any boxes yet! Before the move, we'll spend a couple of weeks close to my family, so I know how special a time it is - enjoy it :)

  17. I've been busy gathering poetry for a possible chapbook, then struggling with the nebulousness that is the closing process for the house we're buying. Half our stuff is packed, but I can't pack much more if I don't know when we're going to move! Hopefully, by the time this giveaway closes, we'll at least know when we're moving! Thanks for the chance!
