Thank you!

As we approach Thanksgiving, a time to be grateful for all we have, we wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU! to all of you... for following our blog, for liking and using our fabrics, and for loving the art of sewing and quilting as much as we do. We appreciate you! 

 So as a thank you, we are offering three fat quarter bundles to three followers. Simply leave a comment here on the blog (or on our Facebook page) letting us know what you are thankful for this year (and no, it doesn't have to be fabric-related!). 
We'll collect comments through Friday, November 27 at 11:59 pm EST and on Monday, November 30 will announce three randomly selected commenters to receive these bundles. Along the way, we'll share some of your comments here on the blog as well. 

 Thank you!
