Six F Words (And a Giveaway)

Fabric Fest, Fortunate, Facebook, Friends, and Followers.
Come on people, what did you think I was going to say?
Sheesh.
 
Let's start with FABRIC FEST.
Riley Blake just announced it's upcoming Fabric Fest that will be held this September in Las Vegas.  It is going to be so much fun--3 days full of classes, a Vegas show, and a bus quilt tour. 
 
Below is the class schedule for you to peruse.  (Or, you can click HERE for more details on registration and other Fabric Fest information.)  We'd love to have you join us.  It's going to be a great time.
Which brings us to FORTUNATE.
Elizabeth and I were invited to teach several classes at Fabric Fest.  We will have classes on how to draft children's patterns, sewing knit skirts, and lead a panel discussion on how to develop your own signature style.  How fortunate we feel not only to be able to attend Fabric Fest but to be included on the same instructor list with the rest of the skilled women who will be sharing their talent with those at the conference.
 
*****
Now I want to talk about FACEBOOK for a minute.
You people are crazy!!!
It's like a whole other world over there...I type in something and like 5 seconds later someone has something to say about it!  It's kind of scary---but I like it! 
So thank you to everyone who has found there way over to our FACEBOOK page and made me feel a little less apprehensive about joining the 21st century.
 
 
And finally before we sign off for the day we have something to giveaway to one of our FRIENDS or FOLLOWERS.
(Ok---so we've probably never met but we still can be friends and as far as the whole following thing goes...we're pretty laid back about that too...we're just glad you stop by.)
So let's just say "Today we have a giveaway."
 
And that giveaway is a fat quarter bundle from Riley Blake Designs!
(Hooray!  That is a lot of fabric!)
 
So if you want to enter to win just click over HERE to their page of currently available fabric, look around, and then come back and leave us a comment telling us which line is your favorite.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.
Have a fantastic day everyone!

*NOTE:  This giveaway is now closed...but we will have another one again soon!

    ReplyDelete

  5. I love how much the Sweetest Thing fabrics reminds me of Charlie and Lola. It is my favorite and my best. (Although I have to admit because I'm a cake decorator that the Sweetcakes line is pretty sweet too.)

    ReplyDelete

  9. I've been wanting to make a quilt for my living room for quite some time, and the Indie Chic cottons line would work REALLY well for that, so I'm picking that as my favorite b/c there are too many awesome prints to choose any other way! :)

  14. Tough to decide.. I love on the go but I think the Simple Life is my favorite!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  16. Ooh, Mystique is my favorite!
    Fabric Fest sounds amazing. Congratulations!

    ReplyDelete

  17. I love the Good Life line. It makes me smile. Attending those classes would be amazing! You guys will do great.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Since I already have a bunch of the ombre dots, the next RB fabrics that I love are the small cotton chevrons. They are so much fun.

    ReplyDelete

  19. A favorite Riley Blake line? Thats like asking me to choose a favorite child! Its gotta be sweet cakes. No... Happily Ever After. NO! Ombre Dots... wait, no, its On The Go. But Polka Dot Stitches is to cute too... *sigh* :)

    ReplyDelete

  20. I simply adore the Good Life line! Such fun patterns and designs.

    ReplyDelete

  21. That's awesome, ladies! Congrats on Fabric Fest! As far as fabric...it's a toss up between The Sweetest Thing and Hello Sunshine...too much cuteness!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  26. Hard choice! Dots, chevron, On the Go, Ombre....still not sure. I have tried a lot RB fabrics and I think I would choose one I have not had a chance to play around with. Like Ombre cotton or Pirates. Thank you for this great giveaway and congratulations on your adventure at Fabric Fest!

    ReplyDelete

  27. It's so hard to choose! I like the Mystique line.

    ReplyDelete

  28. I'm so so sad that there is never anything near the midwest (i'm in iowa) for these types of shows/classes. I have looked and looked for pattern drafting classes in my area with no luck. SOOOO if you ever hear of any, Please please PLEASE pass the information along and I would be forever grateful!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Pick me! Good life cottons! Please! Please! Pretty Please with a cherry on top!

    ReplyDelete

  30. Those Indie Medallions are fabulous!

    ReplyDelete

  31. I have boys, so the pirate matey line would rock in our house :-)

    ReplyDelete

  32. I love the indie line--the colors are so great!

    ReplyDelete

  33. I like super star. cute!

    lovelydomesticdiva (at) gmail (dot) com

    ReplyDelete

  35. How on earth is anyone supposed to choose a favorite?! I would love the Sweetcakes or Simple Life to make a quilt for my daughter. I can totally see the quilt that would not be too "little kid" for my 15 yr old son made from SuperStar. The Pirate Matey would be awesome for my nephews, or the On the Go or Zoofari would be perfect for a cousin's new little one.

    I love anything with polka dots and the chevrons are awesome as well. For me, I guess my top two very favorites are the Little Matryoshka (just so adorable!) and Avignon. (Or maybe Sweetest Thing or Flutter or Mystique or Hello Sunshine.)

    I guess what I'm saying is that I would love any of them!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Awesome fabrics! Hard to choose, but loving the simple life and cotton dots ( anything with red and white polka dots and I'm in). Thanks for the chance to win! Fingers and toes crossed.... Heidi

    ReplyDelete

  37. Hmm, so hard to choose a favorite, but I'd say one of these: Indie Chic, Avignon, or Verona.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  38. I love the idea of that Happy Ever After fabric.

    ReplyDelete

  39. I am in love with the Little Matroyshka line. Those colors are to die for! Fabric Fest sounds like the best time. I wish I could go.

    ReplyDelete

  40. Good Morning:
    I liked your take on "Words with "F"riends" I check RBD every Wednesday and Friday and I have to say I love the dots and the chevrons, they go with everything. Have a good day.

  43. The Mystique line looks amazing. Black and white is my favorite!

    ReplyDelete

  44. I am getting ready to make a room for my daughter over the summer and sending a sewing mom with a project to a fabric website is like asking a kid in a candy store to pick just one type! But the fabric series I really like are "Hello Sunshine," "Happily Ever After," and "The Simple Life."

    ReplyDelete
