Can you believe its been two years since I started blogging? I can't! What a journey it's been, and I've loved (almost) every minute of it. I've learned absolutely tonnes and I've made great, great friends along the way, both near and far.
I don't want to spend too much time reviewing, so I just put together a little collage of some of my very favourite projects in the last couple of year. I had a bit of a hard job picking them but lots of fun looking back through 2 years worth of pictures.
So, to celebrate, I have an amazing giveaway for you courtesy of the very generous Julie of The Intrepid Thread.
I have been swooning over the lovely fabrics just recently arrived in her fab shop and eventually picked some Oh Deer by Momo for the giveaway prize. This lovely bundle of 13 (yes, 13!!!) Fat Quarters in gorgeous fresh, cool greens, blues and browns will be the prize for the winner:
Are you swooning yet? I know I am. These have little boy quilt written all over them, in my book! If you want to buy some, you can find the full collection here. You might also like to check out Chicopee and Field Study which just arrived.
So here's the entry info. This is thank you giveaway for all my lovely followers so you can have 3 entries by leaving separate comments for each on this post:
1. Leave me a comment telling me what you would make with these fabrics
2. Like The Intrepid Thread on Facebook or sign up for the newsletter and leave a comment letting me know you do.

Enjoy!

Perhaps just stash it and love it.

Congratulations on two years as a blogger. They are gorgeous fabrics and I would definitely use them to make a quilt for my friends baby. I didn't have time to make one when he was teeny and feel rather ashamed that he still hasn't got a quilt from me!
I'd make a couple of baby quilts!

I'd love to make a little quilt for our motorhome, great colours for it
I get the newsletter and am a friend of IT :)
Yay to two incredible years. You are a constant source of inspiration. And I am so pleased we became bloggy friends early on. If I won that fabric I would sit and stroke it for ages before I even contemplated cutting it!
I am a follower of course!
First my girl would get a mp3playercover to keep the stuff together, than grandmother asked for little bags to fill with her lavender, than I need a cover for my mobile and last I have lots of ideas written in my notebook and as I have finished summer holidays I can't wait to go back to my machine ....
Congratulation! I love to read your blog and it is so inspiring :)
Living in a 70's Viceroy style house, the green, brown and blue would make perfect home decor for our open concept livingroom/dining room area. If there were enough fabric, I'd make a lap quilt, pillow and table runner.

I would make.... a quilt, pot holder, cushions, pursesetc etc. Not all but as and when. Oh it would be lovely!

Truthfully, I'd end up placing this where I'd see it often for at least a year as sewing room eye candy before actually cutting into it. It would eventually turn into a set of baby things--blanket, bibs, etc. for some lucky new baby.
I follow with GFC!
