500th Post and a Giveaway! Now Closed

This is my 500th post!

I can't believe it.   I had no idea I would ever get this far and have so much fun doing it.   I have so many upcoming things to share with you that I am bursting at the seams!

A giveaway is definitely in order.   To celebrate I am giving away 4 fat quarters of my hand dyed fabric.





All you have to do is be a follower of mine and tell me your favourite color.  So when I pick the winner, you will get colors that you like.   

I will draw a winner next Friday October 21, 2011

    My favorite color is a rich blue just on the green side of blue. However, I love all rich jewel tones. And I would be happy with any of your hand dyed fabric.

It's a hard choice but I think I've narrowed it down. In the third picture down you posted I'd like the four from the left to the right. The gray ?, deep blue, deep purple and a salmon color? It's hard to tell but I like it!
