July Fabric Deals and Giveaways!

It's the middle of another month, and that means it's time for my monthly roundup of the coolest news and fabric deals to help you beat the sweltering summer heat.  This post contains two amazing giveaways, so read on, friends!

Kicking off this month's post is Five Monkey Fabrics with the first of the fantastic giveaways of the day.  Five Monkey Fabrics is my favorite place for basics like polkadots and chevrons, but I would be remiss if I didn't also point out their great prices on yardage, and direct you to their awesome clearance section too!


Five Monkey Fabrics is giving away a half yard bundle of these rainbow polkadot fabrics- so cute, and perfect for stash building!


Five Monkey Fabrics



Five Monkey Fabrics also offers free shipping on orders over $50 with the code FREESHIP at checkout!





Up next is Fort Worth Fabric Studio, where so many new holiday collections have arrived lately, I can almost smell the pine needles and see the twinkling lights!

Fort Worth Fabric Studio stocks so many great holiday collections (these are just a few) that there is a dedicated section of the shop for them, called their Holiday House.  so, if you want to mix fabrics from different collections, you don't need to search the whole site.  They're all right there for you!

            Fort Worth Fabric Studio


If you're looking for bundles of an entire collection, Lady Belle Fabric has you covered!  They have so many beautiful bundles at great prices.  Right now (among many other things), this Joel Dewberry Flora bundle is on sale for a ridiculously low price.

I have used these fabrics before, but I didn't get to keep the quilts, so I'm seriously considering buying more of them for myself!


Lady Belle Fabric



Right now, Lady Belle Fabric is offering free shipping on US orders with the code freeship.  With so many beautiful fabrics at such great prices, that's hard to pass up!





Shabby Fabrics is another great place to build up your stash.  Their Seventh Heaven bundles are the perfect way to add to a color that you are lacking.

There are 25 different gorgeous color ways from which to choose!  This is just a sampling of a few of my favorites.


            Shabby Fabrics



Though my next shop is not a purveyor of beautiful fabrics, I love them just as much, because they make it possible to add a professional touch to each and every quilt, pillow, and mini I make.  I am referring of course, to my beautiful ribbon labels from Finer Ribbon!

I purchased my labels almost exactly a year ago, and I have not regretted that decision for one second.  The labels are soft, fully washable, and the printing is vibrant and rich.  Best of all, Finer Ribbon's customer service is top notch.

     

My labels can be found HERE.  They are 2.25" wide, and printed from side to side (not running the length of the ribbon).  The spool contains 1000 labels, which means that they are less than ten cents each!  I know that it will take me years to use all of them, and that's an amazing deal.  They can be designed with a logo if you have one, or with just a loving message.

I fold and sew the label right into the binding, and the laundering instructions are on the back side.  So, if you're looking to add a professional touch to your quilts, pillows, or garments, I highly recommend checking out Finer Ribbon!

                      FinerRibbon


Lots is happening at LouLou's Fabric Shop!  There are lots of newer arrivals, including Bonnie and Camille's Handmade, and several collections are due any day, like Juniper Berries, Bumble Berries, and Lullaby.

but right now I am drooling over all of the pretties in their sale section!  I love the happy, summery colors of the Gooseberry collection by Lella Boutique, but LouLou's has just dropped the prices on lots of favorites, like Woodland Spring, First Crush, Dot Dot Dash, Sweetness, and SO many more!

Another cool thing about LouLou's, is that you can pay in installments on their preorder items.  I know that sometimes those large, full-collection bundles can be tough to budget, so this helps this shop stand out!


LouLou’s Fabric Shop               


LouLou's is offering 10% off of your entire order with the code quiltinfatuation, good through Friday, July 22nd.  Don't miss out!

Finishing out today's roundup is Fat Quarter Shop.  If you aren't following FQS' blog, the Jolly Jabber, you are missing out!  Each month, the Jolly Jabber highlights four monthly deals that are out of this world!  They choose a basic, a book, at pattern, and a notion, and offer 20% off of those items for the entire month!  This month's picks are awesome!

The basics of the month are Cotton and Steel's Lawn solids, and this cheerful Aurifil thread box is the notion of the month!
            

Fat Quarter Shop



Fat Quarter Shop is also sponsoring the final giveaway of the day- a $50 gift certificate to spend however you choose!  What a fantastic prize!





Alrighty then!  I know you all want to know how to enter these great giveaways!  Just leave a single comment to let me know your favorite way to beat the summer heat!

*Edited to add- my sewing space is definitely air conditioned, so that's not an issue for me either!  :)

Remember to leave an email address if you're a no-reply blogger, and only one entry per person please!  Unfortunately, replies to your own comment counts as an entry (the system numbers those, too), so remember to put your email address in your comment.  Additional replies/comments/entries are always deleted.  I'll announce the winners at NEXT week's NTT (July 27th).

This giveaway has closed!  I host awesome giveaways every single month, so be sure to subscribe by email or with your favorite blog reader so you don't miss the next one!

Best of luck to all, and happy shopping!

    ReplyDelete

We use plenty of fans, leave lights off, and keep the house closed up for the most part, to keep the heat of the sun out.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I stay cool by going to our cabin, which is close to but not on the shore of the cool waters of Howe Sound. In between the tall trees, which cool the air a great deal just by themselves, there is always a lovely breeze. A walk down to the beach for a dip once in a while, and staying cool is not an issue. Evenings and niggttimes are much cooler than that, so sleeping is easy. It's a great place that we are blessed to have!

    ReplyDelete
  120. We don't have air conditioning! :( My favorite/only way to beat the heat is at night. At bedtime, I brush my teeth and then take a shower. The shower cools me down and then I get right into bed (towels on my pillow) with a fan blowing on me.

    We have a whole house fan which sometimes helps, if we can time things right -- it goes on at night when it's cooler, then in the morning we turn it off, close the windows, and try to keep the cooler air in.

    I live in Massachusetts. Many houses here aren't air conditioned, but it's also not as necessary as it is further south. There are definitely days I wish we had it!

    ReplyDelete

  135. I try to stay inside as much as possible, the Texas heat can be wicked. But when I do have to be out and about, a small spray bottle to mist myself is always nice and plenty of cool water/powerades to drink. Thanks for the chance.

  136. My favorite way to beat the summer heat is to put some frozen bottles of water hanging in front of the fan. Very effective!

  144. What's great is I love to sleep in the basement where it's nice and cool! We don't have the need for air conditioning for the few weeks where we really need it here in Alberta - so basement it is! Thanks for the lovely giveaways. I love your labels! I have to go and take a closer look! Thanks!
