FABRIC FRIDAY!


Tina Givens' Lilliput Vintage Take Orange fabric has such a beautiful, timeless look with bold and modern colors. I can just imagine myself resting on a window seat, made with this fabric, in the middle of my French cottage. Oh to dream...

To enter for a chance to win one yard of Tina Givens' Lilliput, Vintage Take Orange leave a comment telling us what other country you could imagine yourself having a home in. Leave your comment anytime between now and Friday, November 4th. Tweet, Stumble, or share on Facebook and leave another comment letting us now. Come back every day for new entries. We'll randomly select a winner and announce right here next Friday.

Find out who won last week's Fabric Friday after the jump...



You all had such fantastic fish stories. I was definitely cracking up reading some of them. The winner of one yard of Catch of the Day by Hoodie is...

Pat V. said...

My husband loves to fish. I've been collecting fish prints to make him a quilt, and this would be an awesome addition to that.

When we first started dating, he wanted to take me fishing. The getting-up-at-four-am part was pretty awful, then we sat around in the cold and damp, waiting for fish. We've now been married 31 years, but he fishes alone.

Congrats! Please use the contact form to send us your address and Fabricworm will send off your prize!

This fabric would be perfect for me; orange is my favorite color. My parents lived in the Netherlands for a while after I graduated HS. Beautiful country; I can definitely see myself living there. And as a bonus, the national color is orange!
