Twiddletails is carrying a whole fabric collection in her store for the first time, and she is celebrating by giving some away. Now I don't usually post about giveaways, but I'm so excited to hear that her store (open just over a year now!) is growing and that she is able to carry a whole collection. It's a pretty exciting milestone for a small business, I think.
The collection is beautiful! It is "Wild Thyme" by Carolyn Gavin for P&B Textiles. If you have a minute, you might want to check it out, and maybe even enter yourself in the Twiddletails giveaway. :)

Mail fun!
Yesterday was an excellent mail day!
Mail item #1: Last week I used the last of a birthday gift certificate and ordered some stuff from Big Horn Quilts.
Included were a pack of machine quilting designs, a yard of a pretty Alexander Henry print, and a yard of beautiful Oriental dragons. The dragon fabric is going to be a fun fall shirt for the boy (or, at least, that’s the plan).
Mail item #2: I received my registration info for the Houston International Quilt Festival! Yes, it’s true! I’m going to Houston! My Austin friend sent me a mail at the beginning of July insisting that I join her and a couple friends in their Quilt Festival adventure. They’ve got hotel rooms already booked and everything. My wonderful husband pretty much insisted that I go. There’s definitely some mama-guilt, but I bought my tickets, they are non-refundable, and I’m going. Bonus: I even got into my first choice classes! I’ll be taking Advanced Machine Quilting from Linda M. Fiedler, and Hand Quilting for Beginners from Jan Svatek.
Mail item #3: A few weeks ago, I won a contest that Gayla held celebrating her 250th post on her blog, flibbertigibbet bunny. And as a final super mail surprise yesterday, I received my prize:
In addition to some fun fabric, she included two handmade items. One was a darling pincushion she made from leftover Dear Jane blocks. The other was a fabulous knitted hat (how did she know I’ve been yearning for just such a hat?).
Thank you so much, Gayla!
