Welcome to the Beat the Winter Blues Blog Hop Party and Giveaway. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
If we're going to beat the winter blues, I think we need some bright colors, don't you? Today I have something fabulous for you. These pretties ought to bring a smile to your face:
It's a seven fat quarter bundle and panel of Swallow Tail Flutterby by Mary Engelbreit for Andover Fabrics.
And I'm going to make it super easy for you to win. Here's what you need to do:
1. Make sure I'm able to contact you. In my last giveaway, I had to bypass the first two winners because they were set at no-reply. Here's a clue: If no one ever replies to the comments you leave on blogs, then you're probably set at no-reply. Do yourself a favor and google these words: "No-reply blogger". You'll find lots of tutorials to help you out. If you're using Google Plus, you could be at no-reply and not even know it. Try these words in your search: "No-reply Google Plus".
2. Leave a comment. You can say anything you want to, but if you can't think of anything, here's a question for you: What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
3. Followers of my blog, new or time-honored, can leave a second comment for a second chance to win.
I will ship internationally, and so this giveaway is open to all citizens of Planet Earth. Giveaway will remain open until March 14th. Winner announced on March 15th. Good luck!

If I knew I could not fail . . . lol, I would get married again. :)
Well, gee Barbara, I have to think. I really wish I could be an amazing runner. So far every time I have tried, I have not done well. I want to be the sixty year old lady who wins the Boston marathon. I tried to couch to five k but never got off the couch.

Of course I would open the best darn quilt shop in Podunk!
Beautiful fabric. I would love to quilt with them.
godblessamerica.jan(at)gmail(dot)com
I would open up a quilt shop that sold current fabric at discounted prices and offered free classes with national teachers and had free bag day once a month.
Imagine Smitty would like to chase a butterfly like this one, beautiful fabric!
I would attempt to find comfort for the ill. I know it isn't wise to cure everyone, the earth cannot support everyone. But to find comfort for them that would be a good thing to do.
I am a follower.
Great color combo for chasing away the cold days of winter! :) I think a new spring tote bag with tons of pockets would be fun to create with these beautiful fabrics! :) Thanks for an early view of spring!
I'm a follower!

I have had the tradition of buying myself something very bright and cheery every year on my birthday (January). To this day, the brightest things in my closet can pretty much all be traced back to birthday purchases.

That fat quarter bundle reminds me of the Mexican paper flags we put in the garden in the summer to brighten the place up, so cheerful!

I'd attempt to quilt the very large quilt that is backed and basted and hiding in my cupboard!
I am a follower too.
It's snowing to beat the band here, and those butterflies are gorgeous -- the only hint of spring I can see!
Jeanne :)
If I knew I could not fail, I would backpack around the world. I'll probably do it anyway, though. Failure be damned :)
I would start my own business. In beekeeping or sewing. Maybe both!

I love Mary Engelbreit. I have started my morning with her day by day calendar for a couple of years now. I'd love the fabrics. I'm hungry for Spring Color.
Pretty fabric. Reminds me of Spring.
What a lovely choice of fabrics. I want to try the Mariners compass some day but havent got up the nerve yet.
I follow you by email and facebook.
I'm never at a loss for words, but I really like your question, so here goes. What would I attempt to do if I knew I could not fail? I would learn to teleport myself long distances, to avoid 14-20 hours of travel time each week. Or, I would find a seasonal business that I loved to own/operate, that provided me with an adequate living for the entire year.
I'm an avid (nearly rabid) follower of your blog!
I keep trying and it keeps telling me it's not going through so hopefully I haven't commented 10 times! Thanks for the chance!

Butterflies and dots. Spring doesn't get much better than that. Here in NY there is 10.5 inches on the ground and more is falling. I am tired of winter.
I've been a long time follower :D
What a beautiful palette to spring's colours!
Thank you for the chance :)
If I should win this bundle, it will be going into a quilt for my oldest granddaughter for when she turns 10. I've told my grandkids that when they turn 10, I'll make them each a quilt. Time to retire the baby quilts :) I've started on one, have a suggestion from the second, and I'll probably do the row along I've seen recently for the granddaughter.

Thanks for the chance to win!
a few years ago, i drew up a room plan to turn my back room into a craft room ... it worked! after a lot of hard work, all the parts and pieces of cabinets and countertops, i had a place for my 'puter, sewing machine, fabric and all the tools and thingies that would make working back here so fine. i was 70 then and am out of ideas of things to do that i could do, for i've done them or tried to.
I'm on the computer, procrastinating the cleaning that I need to do. Drab and dreary day here - which isn't helping. Time to do something productive!
I'm a follower. :D
Gorgeous fabrics. Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity on a great draw

I am definitely a super loyal Follower (notice..I didn't admit to "Stalker"?? he he he)
Loooove your Blog!!! :)
OOH those are beautiful colors. Funny enough, I was in JoAnn Fabrics today to get some fleece to make a little bunny hat for my 1yr old Granddaughter and checked their little fat quarter bundles again. I've been collecting a few of them the past few trips there and they are the very same colors you have shown in the giveaway; lime green, orange, and that bright pink. How funny. This must be meant for me right? Maybe it's our cat connection. LOL
Have a great weekend.
I have always wished I could start a cat rescue program since that service is severely lacking in my area. Maybe someday, if I win the lottery, but I don't play the lottery, so it probably won't happen. :-/
I am already a follower of your blog also on GFC as well as via email.
Thank you for the perfect fabrics you're giving away. LOVE those colors.

Hmmmm...if I couldn't possibly fail, I think I'd search for a cure for Alzheimer's. Cancer has a humongous foundation & support systems galore, but Alzheimer's patients are often alone, even when they need the love & support the most.
Your butterflies rival the ones on my flowers outside!
Happily following you & the cats!
Lovely fabric. Fun blog hop. Thanks for being part of the hop.
