Yay! A Giveaway!

Hello friends! A couple months ago, I stumbled upon a Pinterest board by fellow Canadian Sheryl Sylvester at Thread Riding Hood. She listed a plethora of CANADIAN online quilt shops, several of which I was familiar with, several which were new to me, and a couple of those which really stood out. Double Decker Fabric was one of them.

With Dorienne's carefully curated collection of super fun and modern prints, there is something for everyone - whether you are a quilter or a sewist who sticks to home decor, children's projects, bags or clothes, there are some really cute fabrics you need to check out at Double Decker.

And my Canadian friends in particular understand, we really would rather spend our money on fabric than on postage from the US.  Dorienne's flat rate is 5 bucks anywhere in Canada.  FREE if you order $100.

Ok. Let's talk about the fabric. I am particularly fond of these geeky, but very trendy prints from Riley Blake's Geekly Chic line:


Mixtape!! And these glasses!!



Dorienne also carries 100% organic fabrics by the wonderful Birch designers (who we also know as Fabricworm! One of the first places I ever ordered modern fabric!) Aren't these elephants adorable?



She also has solids!! There is more in the store to look at, but let's not get too distracted because... 

I am very excited to announce my very first GIVEAWAY, right here on my little blog! Dorienne of Double Decker Fabric is offering this lovely fat quarter bundle of fabrics from the Les Amis Line by Patty Sloniger for Michael Miller Fabrics.  Don't you love those little forest foxes and owls?

 

The bundle includes one fat quarter each (as shown above) of: 

Forest Friends 
Owlies 
Ripples 
Faux Bois 
Socks the Fox
and Turtle Parade 

To win, all you have to do is comment on this post and you will be entered in the giveaway. You can click over and like Double Decker Fabric on Facebook, too! There's no extra entry for that, but I know Dorienne would appreciate it if you stopped by.

The giveaway will close at 12 midnight Mountain Time on Saturday, November 24, 2013.  Thanks for visiting and entering!

Edited to add:  Please be sure you are not a no-reply person on Blogger,  or there will be no way for me to contact you if you win!  Right now there are 7 people entered who are no-reply, meaning I do not have your email address to contact you :(   Click on the button below to learn more:

    Fabric in audio tapings is the best for me. This is my childhood. I was born during the communist era in Poland when there wasn't colors. The colors did themselves. And this stuff for me is like that
