Lucky Girl – a giveaway from Dragonfly Fabrics

Happy Friday! I’m nursing a Halloween candy hangover, how about you? We always buy lots of candy, and each year it seems we get fewer trick-or-treaters, leaving way too much leftover candy to taunt me. This year was the first year Max got to go out, and wow, I think it’s his new favorite holiday! (unfortunately for him he has a peanut allergy, so now I have even more candy to tempt me!)

But enough about that, how about a giveaway from one of my lovely sponsors, Dragonfly Fabrics? Amy has a great online shop and carries lots of great designer lines, including a few of my favorites like Koi by Rashida Coleman Hale and Tule by Leah Duncan. You can search by collection or designer, or even by color or style. There’s also a section for pre-cuts, and when I just took a little peek there I discovered Amy even has a few of the oh so popular Carolyn Friedlander Botanics charm packs left (hurry before I go snag them!)

Today Amy is offering a great fat quarter bundle of the new Lucky Girl line by Jennifer Paganelli. Interestingly enough, some of the very first fabric I ever bought was by Jennifer Paganelli, and I just used up the last of it on a recent quilt!

Update! Winner winner, comment #512, KLee Theel, who said “More than 500 people have commented so I’m not holding my breath for a win. But, I will chime in on how beautiful these fabrics are – on their own and in combination.  My husband asked me today if I ever get tired of looking at quilts and what not.  I tried to explain to him how there is an endless source of creative inspiration out there and I will never tire of it.  Cruising through your blog and Dragonfly Fabrics’ website just makes me ridiculously happy.  This kind of joy is impossible to explain. ;)”

It’s always interesting to me to see what number comes up using random.org. This time it was one of the last comments received, and I had to laugh when I went and read the comment. You just never know! I loved the comment too – and I certainly understand what you mean.

a munki munki quilt in progress

munkiquilt

I’ve been trying to do a bit of organizing, and in the process, have been discovering some fun (and not so fun!) older projects and lots of fabrics I’ve been saving. I pulled out my Munki Munki stash, which I collected over several years, and decided to make up one more quilt. I’ve made several quilts out of these fun prints and now that I got to play with them one last time, I can honestly say I’ve had my fill.

Some of you may notice this is the same design as my autumn blush quilt I posted recently – turns out this is a great design for making while simultaneously playing with the kids. It’s also a great design for packing in lots of different fabrics. And now that the top’s complete, it’s really fun to look for all the fun little details – chickens, kitties, goldfish, apples & pears, oh my!

I’m still deciding on a backing – a little extra Heather Ross perhaps? I might have to go all out on this one! In the meantime, I’m sorting through and listing the remaining Munki fabrics, which you can find here.

The holidays are coming! Perhaps someone on your list would like a quilt?

I’ve listed a few quilts in the shop, and hope to add a few more as I finish them (and as time permits!)
