Introducing: Dutch Girl Textiles + a fab GIVEAWAY!!!

Get ready crafters, there's a new online fabric store that I am sooo excited to tell you about.

Jody Dixon has recently launched Dutch Girl Textiles , a great online source for designer fabric. And if you're local to the Capital region, you'll be pleased to know that Dutch Girl headquarters is located in Carleton Place, (you know what that means: cool , LOCAL fabric - finally! )

I have to say I am feeling pretty lucky today because Jody has generously sent me a sweet lil' sample pack. She included some of Amy Butler's Daisy Chain and some super pretty Valori Wells pieces from her "Nest" collection! Wow, talk about a good mail day :)

To celebrate the launch of Dutch Girl Textiles Jody is offering a pretty sweet giveaway over on her blog . The prize? An absolutely gorgeous Valori Wells rag quilt!

Well? What are you waiting for? Head on over and leave a comment on this post , you have until February 20th ! Good luck :)

***
One more important note : Dutch Girl Textiles is the main sponsor of the highly anticipated Handmade Harvest Craft Show . The show takes place on May 7th in Almonte at the Almonte Agricultural Hall. This show is not to be missed I tell ya!

WIP Wednesday

Putting together some log cabin patchwork totes this week. These are quite possibly my favourite things to make, I love paring prints and placing pieces and quilting as I go. Some of my most treasured fabrics are reserved for these totes. Some Aunty Cookie, babushkas , Amy Butler and other Japanese faves, mmmmm. I love it!

WIP Wednesday

There are quite a few little owls with legs today! And more and more getting plumped full of stuffing! It's so fun to see them turn into these huggable 3D characters, (even if the progress is slow going some days.) At the end of a long day in the studio it is truly satisfying to see them all lined up together, not knowing what their futures may hold...

These sweeties are headed downtown to one o my favourite little children's boutiques. (A post about that will follow soon.) I'm off to stuff more hoots!

Back on Track!

Well! I took a step back from the blog for a while as I needed some time to catch up on some projects and prepare for some spring craft shows. I'm all up to date now and am vowing to become more present in this space!

I've got some projects that I am really excited about. They involve hemp, applique and Anna Maria Horner's delicious Little Folks collection. I have been staring at my fat quarter set of these sweet prints for ages, waiting for just the right design and I believe I have found the perfect way to use this fabric! I'm not quite finished but everything is waiting patiently on my desk for the finishing touches, then I will reveal them here and get them into the shop pronto.
