One good favor deserves another {A Giveaway}

mug rug awesomeness {received}


I feel incredibly lucky. This blog has allowed me to meet some of the most amazing, most talented, and most generous women out there. Women like Michelle, who surprised me yesterday with this beautiful mug rug. Look how tiny those crosses are! And that Anna Maria Horner voile fabric is some of my all-time favorite.

Of course, what's a mug rug without a mug?  She included this clever chalkboard mug for me to use at work. I love that I'll be taking a piece of "my other life" to work with me. I love it, Michelle! Thank you!!

Good Luck mug rug {received}


Michelle and I are going to be roomies at the Sewing Summit in October. What? You haven't heard of the Sewing Summit? Oh, you must consider going. It's going to be a blast.

The Sewing Summit

Okay, enough rambling, you want to hear about the giveaway, don't you? 

I dug into my Munki Munki stash and pulled out a rainbow of nine prints I think you all will love. These are all cut from pajamas and robes, so the cuts are a bit irregular but many are more than a fat quarter.  

munki munki {giveaway}


Want to see more details? Okay, twist my arm.

Munki munki giveaway
Cats, pink gnomes, ice cream trucks, martians and gifts.
Munki Munki giveaway
Alice in Wonderland, lobsters, farmer's market, and yoga ladies

And I just noticed that I'd meant to include a cut of the sushi roll print, so the lucky winner will get some of that too!

If you want a chance to win, just leave a comment below. If you are a follower, you can leave a second comment for a second chance to win. I'll keep this giveaway open until next Friday, February 4!

Good luck!!
