Happy Leap Year!

It was a dark and gloomy day in the scrapatch ...

Katniss was helping me sew on this dark and gloomy day.

Katniss says, " We need a pick me up. Time for a giveaway!"

I say to Katniss, "What are we giving away and why?"

Katniss says, "Who needs a reason?

Well, if you need to call it something call it a

Leap Year Giveaway."

I say ... "It's Leap Year?"

Katniss says, "Did you look at the calendar behind me?

It says there are 29 days in February this year.

That is called Leap Year."

I say, "How do you know about Leap Year?

You're a cat ... and cats can't talk."

Katniss says, " I'm a talking to you.  It think I was born on Leap Year."

I say, "Katniss, you are six years old.
Now you are just making this up.
We did rescue you from that shelter on a Leap Year,
so you are a Lucky Leap Year cat. 

Katniss says, "I might have been born on a Leap Year.
Remember that they did not know much about my life as a stray
before they grabbed me and stuck me in that cage.
I am lucky.  Life in the scrapatch is warm and quilty.
  So how about we give this away.

Didn't you say this was for a giveaway?"

I say, "I did, but I was thinking September."

Katniss says, " You are just hoarding fabric.

Give it away now and make someone else's day brighter, too."

I say, "Okay."

So ...

Katniss says, 

"It is Giveaway Time!!!"

First "Farm Girl In Our Garden" Block

This is my 

In Our Garden ~ February Pieced Block

I had fun playing with my fabrics and the pattern and

fussy cut the little Farm Girl and her lamb.

At this point I am calling the little farm girl "Mary."

 I added a third fabric because I just could not wait to use 

this pretty yellow cherry fabric. 

It is made with these lovely Farm Girl fabrics from

Riley Blake Designs

and

Red  Riley Blake Designs Gingham

Thanks to these wonderful people,

I am ready to sew!!!

I will be sewing with this adorable

Farm Girl 
fabric from Riley Blake Designs

Farm Girl loves RBD Gingham!

I did some "stash spelunking" to dig out these gems.
These  Riley Blake Designs small gingham fat quarters.

I also have splurged on these luscious fabrics from

  Riley Blake Designs

to add to my quilt.

More of their beautiful "Shades" line, 

a half yard of the canning jar print from the "Farm Girl" line, 

two brown and cream prints from their "Calico Days" line

and that lovely little Farm Girl FQ Bundle.

because I just had to have all the prints. 

These fabrics are Butterfly inspected and approved.

Since Butterfly is shy and rarely gets into the picture, 
I think this means she is laying claim to this quilt already.
The photo is blurry because she is rubbing on the fabric bundle.
Butterfly loves our garden and is a Farm Girl at heart.

Butterfly was rescued sixteen years ago
as a kitten from the Human Society by daughter and dad,
so we really do not know where she came from,
but my hubby did say she was probably from a barn litter.

Butterfly and I am more than ready for the first blocks!

Farm Girl is Here!!!

These fabulous fabrics are from

Riley Blake Designs

This is Farm Girl !

Farm Girl is a new January release!

These fabrics are  "have to have" for me.

I love these prints!

If you like these fabrics as much as I do, time to find some for yourself now
at your favorite local or online quilt shop.

Look at these luscious flowers that Farm Girl grows!

Also, yummy cherries all ready for canning!

Cute calicos for the best dressed Farm Girl.

To these wonderful prints I am adding some wonderful basics:

These are Shades

My photos taken in weak northern light do not do any of these fabrics justice.

The colors are rich and textured.

My hubby, who does not like solids, loved the beautiful tones in these fabrics.

I will be getting more shades to add to my basics stash

so I have lots of colors on hand.

These fabrics are for a very special quilty project.

(hint, hint ... think "garden" ... ;)

You will be seeing a lot of these fabrics on my blog in the coming months.

For a quick and easy and cute quilt project:
