Michael is having a FREE SHIPPING Sale!

For us USA Customers that is FREE SHIPPING on any order over L75 (pretend that is one of those cute little British Pound symbols) which translates to $121.50 US Dollars.

From Oakshott Cottons regarding their fabrics:

Our speciality is colourful shot cotton weaves ethically sourced from master weavers along the Malabar coast of South West India. Our sumptuous and vibrant colours are full of character and are ideal for hand and machine quilting. We offer a cut length service as well as quilting kits and patterns which are suitable for experienced quilters and beginners alike. Our fabrics are also ideal for sewing, applique work, textile and quilting arts.

If you know me, then you know I covet whatever my fellow quilters are into.  I have been lusting for some of this fabric for months.  With free shipping, I have a valid 'saving money' excuse to execute my purchase!

 These colors are probably going into my cart:

On the website you can see several collections,

like this one Lipari.

I don't know about you - but these are heaven.  This collection was recently showcased in QuiltMania magazine. 

You can see the photo here:

Not sure if I could show that photo, as it is in a magazine. 

There is also a SALE section!

One of my blogger / quilting peeps in Australia Jeannette - Gone Aussie Quilting made this beauty with Oakshott cottons, read her blogpost  about working with the cotton solids.  There are more photos here in her Flickr stream.

I can't showcase my own photo of a project - until I place my order!  Going there next.  

Free shipping is from Oct 3 through Oct 10, using code:

Oh, Hai, It's a Give-Away!

I am so happy to host my first give-away!  

The Color of Cloth

Karen at The Color of Cloth has generously donated a Kona Cotton Solids color chart for this give away.

This color chart includes all the 28 New Kona Colors!  All 243 Kona Cotton Solid colors are on this chart.

This color chart is invaluable!  I use mine constantly, and I couldn't wait to get a look at the new New Kona Colors, new neutral colors like Parchment, Oyster, and Putty.

If you just can't decide on one color, you can order the whole stack of New Kona Colors in a Fat Quarter Bundle.

I will randomly draw a winner for the Kona Color Chart on Wednesday August 1 from your comments.

For entry:

1.  Follow my blog

2.  Leave a comment saying you follow and how much you would just love to win this wonderful color chart

3.  One entry per person, please

4.  Check back constantly to see if you won, even though it isn't Aug 1 yet.  (That's what I do when I enter a give away, I'm not sure what I think they are going to do - sneak the drawing by me?)

Random Drawing from comments Aug 1
