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!

The turkey, our national symbol??
It's Thanksgiving Eve...relax while your turkey brines and learn a bit more about this tasty bird!
At one time, the turkey and the bald eagle were each considered as the national symbol of America. Benjamin Franklin was one of those who argued passionately on behalf of the turkey. Franklin felt the turkey, although "vain and silly," was a better choice than the bald eagle, whom he felt was "a coward."
The ballroom dance known as the Turkey Trot was named for the short, jerky steps a turkey makes.
Turkeys are the only breed of poultry native to the Western Hemisphere.

The average person in the United States will eat 15 pounds of turkey this year.
A male turkey is called a tom, a female is a hen, and a youngster is a poult. Only male turkeys, or toms, can gobble, and they mostly do it in the spring and fall. It is a mating call and attracts the hens. Wild turkeys gobble at loud sounds and when they settle in for the night.
The loose red skin attached to the underside of a turkey’s beak is called a wattle. When the male turkey is excited, especially during mating season, the wattle turns scarlet. The fleshy flap of skin that hangs over the gobbler's beak is called a snood and also turns bright red when the bird is excited.
