Now to the give-away for the fabric selection process. I decided to draw two winners:

  1. One for those that linked-up (who wins the 1/2 yard bundle)
  2. For those that did post their photo on flickr – the winner will get a scrap bundle in a color of their choice.

Link-up Winner which was randomly chosen by random.org is #2: Joanna @ Riddle and Whimsy, who has pulled her collection of Christmas fabrics for the Gypsy Wife Quilt along.

I will send you both an email to get address details. Hope everyone has a great weekend 🙂

I am so excited to start looking at my fabrics, choosing what I will use for the Gypsy Wife Quilt. I have decided to use True Colors by Anna Maria Horner, Heather Bailey and Joel Dewberry….I have half yards of all fabrics of these three designers (purchased from Hawthorne threads)
