Rhapsodia Giveaway from The Intrepid Thread

This week was a bit of a bloggy celebration week for me. 200 followers (yay!) and I wrote my 100th blog post earlier in the week (yay again!) Plus I'm still kind of excited about my Fat Quarterly tutorial :o)

So to help me celebrate, the lovely Julie from The Intrepid Thread has offered a fantastic give away. If you don't know The Intrepid Thread, you can find Julie either on Etsy  or in her online shop. She carries a fantastic range of up-to-the-minute designer quilting fabric and her customer service is brilliant.

 So, to the giveaway! Julie has very generously offered a bundle of 10 fat quarters of the just-released Rhapsodia collection from Art Gallery Fabrics! Sigh. I wish I could win these, they are just gorgeous.


To enter the giveaway:


Simply comment on this blog post and you're in the running to win! If you feel like it, you could let me know what you'd make with this bundle of gorgeousness :o)


Optional extra entries:
* Follow The Intrepid Thread blog and leave me a comment saying you do. 
* Follow my blog, and leave me a comment saying you do.


How easy is that! I'll leave the competition open until next Saturday 12th May at 8pm Australian EST, at which time I'll close the comments and draw a random winner.

Update: Comments have how been closed!

Good luck!
xx Jess

My ex-husband just got engaged, and I'm making them a tumbler quilt of some sort, just trying to find the right fabrics, and a couple of these fit their color choices, and it's always nice to see them in person and decide before ordering larger cuts.

VickiT said...

Congratulations on your 200 followers, although you are now heading toward that 300 mark now. yay.
The Rhapsodia fabric collection is another gorgeous one. If I were lucky enough to win I honestly am not sure right this second what I would make. It might be one that I'd have to look at for awhile. It would make so many beautiful things. I do know that I want to make a purse for my almost DIL and things to put with that purse like phone case, tissue holder etc. so that's one thing I thought of right away. She would love those fabrics as her favorite colors are all in that one collection.

VickiT said...

I'm already a follower of The Intrepid Thread blog. Julie's awesome and has such great taste in the fabrics she chooses to stock. And I love the way she has the best eye for color in putting different bundles together. That's one thing I find the hardest.
