First, we need to announce the winner from last weeks Terrific Tuesday Giveaway!! The winner of the Vintage Picnic Layer Cake from Shabby Fabrics is . . . Number # 452. . . Congrats Aleta!!! I have emailed you :)
And on to today's
Today's Terrific Tuesday Giveaway is being sponsored by Fabric Please! , a brand new sponsor here at Happy Quilting!!! I asked Rita to send me a little intro to her shop so I could share it with all of you ;) So here's all about Fabric Please! . . .
Rita opened her online shop in February 2014 and has been loving every second of it! She tries to blend the modern convenience of online shopping with old fashioned service and values. Every online order is wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. There’s also a little “something for nothing” with each online order in the way of a free Fat Quarter, mini-spool of Aurifil thread or sewing notion. It’s her way of saying “THANKS”! She believes every customer is the most important customer. She uses the fabrics she sells so she knows how they feel, how they wash and how they stand up to everyday wear. Her tastes are eclectic so she has e a wide variety to choose from. Hopefully, you will find something you just have to have!
The first thing you will most likely notice from above is that Fabric Please! is located in Canada!!! Growing up visiting my Grandparents in Calgary Canada, makes it a special place in my heart, so I was super excited to get to work with Rita ;) And for my Canadian friends that means shipping is only $8.00!!! And for my US Friends, never fear, shipping is only $15.00 to you, and the prices listed are Canadian, so you get to take in the exchange rate as well :) So Come On In and check out Fabric Please!
Fabric Please! has all of your quilting needs. They carry lots of different designers and even have a designer search option. Your find beautiful pre-cuts and bundles and of course, lots and lots of quilting yardage (gotta love those Canadian Maple Leaves :) And Rita carries some awesome widebacks as well, because sometimes you just don't want to piece the back of the quilt as well :) And don't forget the Aurifil threads , and basic notions, to go along with all of that yummy fabric!!!
And along with carrying lots of wonderful modern and contemporary quilting fabrics, Fabric Please! also carries gorgeous knits, as well as lovely home decor and apparel fabric!!! So now matter what project you have in mind, you will find just what you are looking for ;)

Good Luck, Welcome to Fabric Please! and Have a Happy Quilting Day!!!
I am planning to weave some items as gifts this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm quilting kitchen accessories as gifts this year.
ReplyDeleteI went to Fabric Please! Loved their stuff but especially the Canadian designers and Canadian-inspired designs. Like you, Melissa, my grandparents lived in Canada, in Ottawa and I spent two weeks of almost every summer visiting. The Chinese population has really grown in Ottawa, but when I was a kid, Chinatown was only a block long. Now, new Chinatowns are sprouting in the nearby suburbs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melissa, for the wonderful post. Good luck to everyone, I wish I could give them all a prize!
ReplyDeleteI plan to FIND the candycane blocks I sewed last year & make them into a finished quilt. lol
