Giveaway!! And a great new sponsor!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED =(
Check back, can't wait to do another one!
~~~~~
Folks, I am sooo excited to announce my first giveaway!
I'm also very proud to announce my newest sponsor, Fat Quarter Shop--this great online fabric boutique has a huge selection of very cute fabrics and goodies!!  Gazillions of cute fabric, quilting and otherwise, in so many beautiful prints--it was so hard to pick some out to share with you, so this is just a teeny tiny (almost random) sample of the lovelies they have!  Look at this great stuff!
The GIVEAWAY from Fat Quarter Shop is very exciting--they're generously giving away a layer cake to one lucky reader!  Their layer cakes are collections of 10"x10" squares, all cutely coordinated... a great size to cut up into quilt squares, but big enough to be a very cute patchwork garment or accessory... bags, of course, and my fave, pillows!!!
Here are just some of the super cute layer cakes you will be able to choose from:
Which one will you choose?!?!
This giveaway is open to entries through the end of the day Sunday, March 28th when I will pick a winner at random!
Two ways to enter:
Leave a comment on this post,
and/or share this giveaway: Facebook, Twitter, your blog--leave a link in a comment on this post!
You get one entry per comment, so if you share this in two or three places, make sure to leave two or three comments!
I will announce the winner Monday, March 29th...
Have fun!Pin It
