Would you like some fabric?

Okay we do have a GIVEAWAY!!  But first I must bore you with some reminiscing. 

Hip hip hooray!!!  Today is Heather's birthday, of which birthday will remain undisclosed.  She is 7.5 years older than me, but I will put it in writing (and online) that often people think we're twins. We both just hope they think we're my age :)

How great is this picture!!! I could giggle all day!  There are seven kids in our family.  I, Megan, am the little one up front. Heather is in the red sweater.  This had to be in 1985-6.

This last year with Quilt Story has been so much fun and so much work.  But there is no way I could do this without her.  People often ask us how we do our business together, run the blog, the patterns, and all that goes along with it. The fabulous thing is that we compliment each other really well.  We each have our own areas that we are good at. And we seriously DO NOT FIGHT. I don't know how it is that two sisters seriously rarely fight, especially when we talk constantly and do a business together, but we don't!  What happens is if we are together in person for maybe a week one night we'll start getting irritated with each other. Maybe some annoyed glances, eyes may roll, eyebrows go sky high and there are definitely some sighs.  About ten minutes later we'll realize we just had a fight :)

One last little story...as I sit here freezing (in AZ!) I am totally reminded of a story growing up.  Heather and I often shared a room even though we didn't have to.  We lived in Colorado and she being a teenager and me just a kid, she'd stay up late and come in to bed late and wake me up.  How did she wake me up? She would attack me with her icy cold fingers and toes!!  I have freezer burn to this day... :)

Who would like some fabric??

I love love love all the Remix lines from Ann Kelle.  They are happy and young and modern and I just like them.  This may be under my tree afterall :)

Ruffle fabric.  Seriously to die for. Saw this in person at market, it's fabulous.  If you have a girl and don't have this, WHY?? :)

Birthday Giveaway Palooza!

Today happens to be my amazingly super-talented sister Heather's Birthday!!

Now I would never reveal her age, I am way too loyal to her to do that.  I mean, seriously.

However what I will tell you is that she is much older than me.  7 1/2 years to be exact. :)

Malibu CA 2006 (?)

Sometimes I've found myself wanting to curse her for having a birthday in December.  But then I realized it isn't her fault so I took it up with my mom (or should it be my dad?  Ew.  So not going there.)

There are three sisters in our family.  Our oldest sister Amy is uber talented...especially at making babies.  She has 10.  That's why she isn't able to be in all our crafting adventures...but one day!  All three of us girls (and sometimes mommy too) talk on the phone.  All.  Day. Long.  Really.  If you're wondering, we make it happen with a blue tooth.

Daily we discover our new craft callings in life.  Today I was meant to be a machine quilter (I've officially quilted one table runner) and she an embroidery expert :)  I'll let you know about tomorrow.

I don't know how it happens.  But we always get the same crafting bug.  This time last year we were both knitting hats like nobodies business.  We haven't touched knitting needles in months.  A few years before that we were beading bracelets...making aprons...paper scrapbooking...We have problems. 

But one thing we both LOVE and never waiver.  Fabric.  Quilts.

Do you want to help make this Heather's best birthday ever?!!?

Me too.

My part...I'm giving away some of my own stash to one of YOU!!!

Now I would give that entire stack away if it weren't for shipping charges!!

I am giving away about 2 yards from the fabrics above (if you have a fave let me know I'll be sure to include it) to one of our followers.  So if you already FOLLOW...you're already entered :)

This is a great way to bulk up your stash...for FREE!

So...if you aren't already FOLLOW us!  I've said it before, but our self-esteem is greatly related to our follower #.  Seriously.  We both get really giddy when we have a jump.

But wait...there's more! :)

I am giving away another 2 yards to a FOLLOWer on our blog Fresh Poppy Design...so hop on over :)

Thank you all soooooo much for making our blogs so much fun to do. 

We love and appreciate all of you for your comments, participation, support, creativity, you are all amazing!!

and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HEATHER

Love you sister.

I'll also be linking to these parties.

Edited to add this giveaway will run for 1 week thru next Thursday December 16th and I will announce the winner Friday December 17th. Thanks :)
