Let's kick off with something fitting for the holiday at hand, shall we? Jodie at Fort Worth Fabric Studio has put together two bundles in honor of St. Patrick's Day that are really great stash builders.
As a lover of all things green, you know I am having a hard time resisting that emerald Lucky Charmers bundle, but at just over $10 for five FQ's, I feel absolutely no guilt in giving in. The other bundle is called Pot 'O Gold, and is a fun mix of metallic gold fabrics- so fun! Check them out!

If you're looking to build up your stash, (and honestly, aren't we always?) then you definitely won't want to miss the HUGE Spring Sale going on at Five Monkey Fabrics.
I absolutely cannot resist chevrons and polkadots. I think they work in almost every quilt, and there are so many variations of color, size, etc. that they are really fun to use. Five Monkey Fabric's selection of these basics, as well as a whole lot of other fabrics, is excellent, and when they're on sale, they're hard to beat!

Tons of fabrics are available on sale in bundles, or as yardage, so you can get exactly what you need. FYI- the term "need" is used very loosely around here, ha! The sale ends on Sunday, 3/20, so don't miss out!
LouLou's Fabric Shop has some great happenings as well, including the arrival of a few new collections. The Lullaby collection by Kate and Birdie is so sweet, as well as Mama Said Sew Volume II by Sweetwater.


They've also added several collections that are now available for preorder, and you can save 10% anytime on those with the code preorder.
Right now though, LouLou's is having a special sale for St. Patrick's Day! You can save 17% on your entire order (excluding preorders and sale items) with the code stpat17 today through Saturday, 3/19 only.
Lady Belle Fabrics always has some drool-worthy fabrics and bundles, and this month is no exception. Just look at this bundle of V and Co.'s Ombre fabrics! Oh my goodness. So gorgeous!
There are several other bundles on sale right now as well, including Tula Pink's Chipper, Fleet and Flourish, and this bundle that I have been eyeing for awhile. Yes, my friends. I think I am finally about to take the plunge into some Liberty Lawn fabric.
We all know that this fabric is pretty expensive, but I love that Lady Belle offers this bundle in sizes down to fat sixteenths (9" x 13"). That means that you can get a sampling of 22 delectable prints without breaking the bank.

I don't know about you, but I think the internet has been instrumental in advancing quilting in recent years. There is SO much fantastic information available with a quick Google search, at any hour. And though I have experienced some wonderful paid classes online (and in shops as well for that matter), you can find a plethora of free tutorials out there as well.
A perfect example is the Fat Quarter Shop's youtube channel. FQS has video tutorials on everything from basic how-to's, to quilt alongs on their channel, and they're fun to watch!
Keep reading for details on how to enter!

Southern Fabric always has beautiful fabrics at wonderful prices, with great customer service to boot!
Right now, they have several new arrivals, and lots of new items on sale, including Kate Spain's Aria, as well as Skopelos and Glitz Garden, all available in bundles and yardage!



At Shabby Fabrics, my latest obsession are their Seventh Heaven bundles. These are perfect little stash builders, containing seven FQ's each, and they are available in a gorgeous variety of colors. I've only pictured a few of my favorite groups here, but there are 25 different choices!

And last, but certainly not least is Fabric Tree! Fabric Tree's selection of fabrics may be smaller, but they certainly are beautiful, and with great prices and wonderful customer service, you should definitely check them out! As an independent Etsy shop, they are also willing to put together custom orders for you. Just ask!
I am loving the Floriography collection by Riley Blake, and I think I'll be getting some of that soon! These fabrics are the perfect colors for the beginning of spring!

Okie dokie, friends! I hope you'll take some time to browse around my favorite fabric spots and take advantage of some of the amazing specials going on. Before you do that though, you'll want to take some time to enter today's giveaway!
May the Luck 'O the Irish smile upon you! Happy stash building!
I love quilting any time of year but in springtime the windows are open and I am enjoying the warm breezes while I sew.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is gardenning and getting the garden ready to plant. dhoctor@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! I love this monthly presentation each month. Not just for a chance to win a great fabric, but a reminder to go mosey around fabric shops. Yes, the internet HAS done wonders to promote quilting.

I think my favorite spring activity is being outside working in the yard or just sitting on the porch enjoying the fresh air after being cooped up for the winter
ReplyDeleteI love being outside in the springtime. It rejuvenates my soul!

Getting ready to go camping!
ReplyDeleteQuilting with the windows open and a cool breeze fluttering through the curtains is definitely near the top of the list; but I'll have to go with something outdoors - kayaking!

ReplyDeleteAwesome fabrics and some great deals and inspiration! Our family does lots of mountain biking in the Spring (it's our race season here!). Off this weekend to a race! mumbird3(at)gmail(dot)com

ReplyDeleteI like gardening, preparing to garden, walking in the early morning in a nearby park and listening to the wonderful song birds sing their unique songs. The renewal of life comes in the Spring, so exciting.

Getting out to the flower bed to get it ready for planting, also walking in the nice weather.
ReplyDeleteAll of the fabrics are so beautiful, and they all speak of spring! I love spring with all of the flowers blooming even though they mess up my sinuses. I wish we had flowers all year around.
ReplyDeleteMy little begonia on the patio has bloomed nearly all winter. I didn't cover it up or anything, and we had some pretty cold night here in N. Louisiana. Our azaleas are starting to bloom and the bridal wreath!
Spring is my favorite season and after having such a long winter, I am anxious to get out in the gardens. I will be cleaning them up and prepping for new plantings and annuals for summer color and blooms! duchick at gmail dot com

ReplyDeleteWell, my absolute favorite spring pastime is gardening. Although; this year will be only my third garden ever. I'm seventy years young and have been living with a small very shading yard for the past thirty-three years until purchasing a sunny place in the country two years ago. Each year my garden has become a little bit bigger. One of my favorite summertime pleasures is putting free boxes of extra produce out by the road and watching cars stop and smile and wave as they fill up sacks of goodies. There are too many people like I was before that don't have a place to grow fresh vegetables . . . I love grocery shopping in the backyard, LOL. Thanks for this opportunity to have a chance at your beautiful give-a-way :)
ReplyDeleteConnie :)

ReplyDeletedawn@firstlightdesigns.com
I love just being outside, but as silly as it sounds, my favorite thing about spring is being able to see the sun again! With my work schedule, most days during the winter are dark when I leave for work and dark when I get off. I love getting to see some sun now! :)
ReplyDeleteLots of great deals and quilty goodness in this post. Absolutely love the polka dots. My favorite spring time activity is hitting the Disney parks before the summer heat makes it too uncomfortable. It used to be spring planting when we lived up north but now we have full yard maintenance and my herbs and preferred flowers (tulips) don't grow well for me in Florida.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to take my morning coffee outside to sit on the deck drinking it.
