OZ-some New Fabrics!

Yes, it's a cheesy pun, I know, but sometimes cheesy is fun too. We've just gotten 10, yes, count them, 10 new bolts of fabric from the newest line by Sanae, called OZ. I hope you can read the names above the pictures because I tried to include those so you'd know which ones you just HAVE to come by and order! And can you tell how incredibly CUTE this fabric would be made up into any number of our FABULOUS new patterns? How about this adorable group of children's tops?

Or if your little one prefers something a little more "girly" check out our new fabric from Sandi Henderson, called Meadowsweet. We have 8 bolts of that available!

All of these new fabrics and patterns are available RIGHT NOW in the shop! Remember that patterns ALWAYS ship free with fabric purchase!

Giveaway Inspiration

The winner is April! April, if you see this please e-mail me anna@craftygirlsworkshop.com with your mailing address. I'll attempt to contact you through blogger as well.

EDITED: Becky, (Lori is the one who is adopting the kids) over at Babes in Hairland really inspired me today. I don't have the ability to donate in a monetary way to children in Haiti or Doctors without Borders, but I do have an abundant stash of fabrics (part of the reason Crafty Girls Workshop was born). I dug into my stash and found something that I think could help Haiti, in a minor way. My philosophy is that if many people do one small thing, it will become one HUGE thing. Does that make sense? I think Craft Hope for Haiti is a perfect example. OK so here's the deal. I've decided that I want to offer a way to potentially reward you for commenting on Becky's blog and helping to spread the word about it. I want to give you some of my stash. It's 34 squares, precut to 5"x5", I know 34 is a strange number. It's a charm pack that I had, called Look and Learn by American Jane, I opened it and layed out the charms with the hopes of making an apron, but then put them away and changed my mind. I know I started with 40 charms, but I only have 34 left, I believe I may have made them into pin cushions for a giveaway awhile back. But still, 34 should be plenty to make an apron or a tote bag. I also want to include 1 yard of coordinating fabric from the same line. This fabric is NOT readily available to fabric stores right now. If there is any around, it is probably difficult to find. Here are a couple of pictures, I tried my best to include all the squares in the scan, sorry if a few of them are crooked.

The 34 Charms

1 yard coordinating fabric

I'll keep this opportunity open until February 2nd which is when Becky said she will donate the money based on the number of comments. She said you can comment once per day, so consider going back tomorrow to comment too. Here's how to enter the giveaway for this fabric and charm pack:

• Stop by Becky's blog (1x per day) and leave her a comment
• Come back here and tell me you did that
• Tweet about the Coins for Comments (and tell me you did)
• Post about it on Facebook (tell me you did)
• Blog about it on your blog (tell me you did)

You'll get one entry for each comment you leave here about each of those items. I'd be so thrilled to get lots and lots of comments so I know that somehow I'm helping in a little way too! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Happy Crafting,

Anna
