fabric giveaway

The fine folks at Connecting Threads saw my post awhile back, and as a thank you sent me some of their Essential PRO Thread. I was shocked that they had seen my post, and even further amazed that they sent me some thread as a thank you. What a pleasant surprise! They also sent me some fabric to pass along to my readers. I have 3 stacks (similar to a layer cake) of Sweet Remembrance fabric to give away. So you know the drill, if you would like to win a stack, leave me a comment here. I'll pick 3 separate winners sometime next week.

Happy Friday!

I usually have bad luck at these lotteries, but I'm sure I'd win the ones where you have to sacrifice your life or that of your firstborn (on second thought, he's a teenager and has been giving me grief). If you pick me, I'd be extremely grateful and very surprised!
