I've been poking around, updating my blog and bringing things together to make it easier to follow Stitched in Color. Maybe you follow just fine in a reader. Cool beans! But, maybe you're more of a Twitter gal or would prefer an email subscription? Done and done. You'll find the new links in my sidebar near the top.
Oh, and I also created a new page tab up top "Projects." I think it's pretty spiffy. You'll find links to all of my finished projects, organized by categories like quilts, pillows, for the kitchen, etc. Hoping that makes it easy for you to locate some inspiration!
Ready for the fabric giveaway? My generous sponsor, Sew Fresh Fabrics has a half-yard set of Melissa Averinos' new collection "Swoon" in four warm prints. I had not seen much of Swoon, but it's a very lively, saturated collection. Kind of reminds me of Ms. Horner, actually. See what I mean:
Below are the four prints included in this giveaway, pieced together from some images that the designer posted on her blog, Yummygoods.
And here's another shot of this 4-piece, half yard giveaway set, where you can see the full repeat of the fabrics.
Do you want it? Of course! So, here's where I need your help. If you currently follow my blog, can you please use my newly added "Google friend connect" followers button to add yourself to the tally? Unless you add Stitched in Color to your reader through this button, it does not tally you as a follower. I'd like to get an idea of how many followers I have as I try to feel my way in this "business". Of course, if you don't currently follow, feel free to start now =). Just use the "Follow with Google Friend Connect" link in my right sidebar.
If you already subscribed to Stitched in Color in your reader, using the Friend Connect button will NOT add an additional subscription in your reader. At least it didn't when I've tested it!
Oh Rachel, of course I follow you :) I love your new Projects tab! And I agree, this new Swoon reminds me a lot of my favorite Anna prints!!
ReplyDeleteI was a follower, but clicked on the "Google Friend" follower button, and I showed up.
ReplyDeleteIm already a follower but have hit your google friend connect button just incase I wasnt showing up before! Great blog. x
ReplyDeleteI have been a follower but added myself to the friend connect button. Beautiful fabric you are giving away!!

ReplyDeleteI've been following you, but I've added myself via the Google Friend Connect button, too. Can't figure out what difference it makes.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the fabric. I'm suddenly very interested in pink tones.

ReplyDeleteLOVE the Swoon fabric!! I'd love to win some of that gorgeousness. :D

ReplyDeleteAlso, I read you through a reader and I was wondering if you could publish your full posts instead of just an excerpt. Many times I don't read the full post because I just want to read everything in the reader and then when I do read a full post I find that I miss something amazing!
I follow you "for real" now! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
