Generosity of strangers... fun fabric friday (03.20.09)

I have had the pleasure of meeting the nicest quilter, via the internet, while on the quest of finding an almost obsolete fabric.

I was searching for this...



The infamous "Paint by Number Bird" by Erin Michael, printed by Moda.

The very same day I put out my ISO ad, E responded. She told me her local quilt store still had the fabric in stock, but only in pink. No worries I thought. I will take it (though I was looking for it in green). I told myself I will make something fabulous out of it anyway. So I phoned her local quilt store and order the last two yards they had on the shelf. The next day E emailed me to ask if I had gotten any of the fabric (because when she went back to her local store she noticed it was gone), I told her I had and thanked her twice over. We got to exchanging emails and realized that she vacations in a small town just 12 miles from my place and we agreed that the next time she was close by we would do a fabric shop hop.

Well I got my phone call this week, E and I met at my local quilt shop and upon my arrival E presented me with the cutest bag of fabric. Yes!!! fabric! and not just any fabric... Flea Market Fancy fabric!



E said she had read through my blog and noticed how I enjoyed Denyse Schmidt and thought she would share with me a bit of her stash. How generous!

Thank you E!

To return the favor, this week I would like to post a Spring giveaway of 2 quarter yard cuts of Valori Wells Fleurish.



I thought the very bright colors reminded me of Spring and Easter colors.

Please add a comment telling me what you would make if you received these two lovlies to be qualified.

Deadline to comment is 9pm Eastern time on Thursday March 26, 2009!

Have a great weekend.
