FABRuary giveaway

Would you look at that?  It's February already.  That means I have been blogging for nearly five months.  I'm still full of ideas, fair bursting at the seams in fact, and seeing more people join up to read about my crafting journey motivates me even more to see the projects through. So, to thank you for coming and visiting my little part of the blogging universe, I am going to have a giveaway (oooooohh) and it involves fabric (aaaaaahhh).  I'm dubbing it my FABRuary giveaway for all by FABulous friends.

In honour of my husband's significant birthday next week, I have cut 40 charm squares (roughly 13x13cm) from some fabrics in my stash for one lucky reader.  Some are slightly undersized, but I am sure you will forgive me for that and for the fraying edges; I need to invest in some pinking shears.  Some of these prints are, shall we say, inexpensive, but there are some nice quality ones in there too, and even one or two hard to find Kokka pieces.

You might think I've gone a bit dotty:

Most fabrics are light to mid-weight cottons:

There are also some wool blends:

As you know, we are heavy on the girl prints in this household:

But there are some boy prints thrown in too:

So, hopefully there is something in there for everyone. Are you excited??

All you need to do is leave a comment telling me which is your favourite charm square bundle (I'm just curious). The giveaway is open to New Zealand-based members of my blog only (I am sorry about that, my international lovelies).  I will announce a winner next Saturday.

    1. I like those little ladybirds too, it came from a small piece left over from a pinboard that I made my girls (you can see it on the desk makeover post) so there's just the one square, sadly.

    1. Any charm square bundle is fine, but it's interesting to see you have all chosen differently for the ones pictured above. The winner gets all 40 squares above, just to be clear on that. Thanks for commenting.

I love that you take the time to comment. Except for spam, not loving that. I no longer allow comments from anonymous users for that reason.
