There’s nothing like beginning a month with a holiday to help it feel like it’s flying by like a firecracker. Pair that with a week long trip down to celebrate with family, and July has truly snuck up on me!
As I get back into the swing of things on the homestead, unpack, and hopefully dive productively into a few big sewing projects, I thought I’d host a giveaway to help get the second weekend of July (how did that happen!?) off to a fun start.
Thanks to the Fat Quarter Shop, one of my lucky readers can enter to win this newly released Raindrop fat quarter bundle by Rashida Coleman-Hale for Cotton + Steel Fabrics. The bundle includes 20 fat quarters and two (2) 24″ x 44″ canvas prints, and seems most fitting to kick off this rainy weekend here in Maine. There are so many great prints in this collection–from the geometric play stash builders to the fabulous cicadas, all inspired by the rainy season in Japan. True to my naturalist heart, I love cicadas. I used to love to collect their exoskeletons from trees when I was a kid, and hook them all over my clothes to surprise the less-bug-loving kids on the block. Ahh, memories!
To enter the giveaway today, tell me what you like to do on rainy days. Leave a comment and make sure I’m able to get ahold of you if you win. For an additional entry, click HERE and sign up for my new Night Quilter email list. You will get occasional emails with highlights, pattern announcements, and special offers. Leave a second comment to let me know you’re signed up! Tell me how you follow Fat Quarter Shop (facebook,twitter, Instagram, their blog Jolly Jabber, etc.) in a third comment for a third entry.
This giveaway is open to US and international participants. The giveaway will be open until Thursday July 14th at 8pm EST when I’ll select the winner randomly with random.org. Good luck, and enjoy your rainy (or sunny if you’re lucky) weekend! This giveaway is now closed! Congratulations, Kendra!

I enjoy rainy days. Curling up with a good book is just one of the ways I spend my day with them.

The garden needs the rain in the summer – but not the slugs! I like walking around my garden and putting the wee monsters in the green recycle wheeley bin!

I have to say quilting and Netflix marathons get me through the rainy days. I love this little bundle of fabric. We just finished up our 17 year cicada season a few weeks ago. They are really amazing little creatures…and loud 🙂

I like to log time sewing on a rainy day. It tends to takes away the ‘I need to be doing something else’ feeling so that I can get in the zone and really get productive. Thanks!

My kids like to go for puddle jumping walks on rainy days. Perhaps since we get so few of them in the CA draught. I like to sit inside where I can see and hear the rain.

I’ve always loved a nap on the couch so I can listen to the rain, though that doesn’t happen a lot anymore! Lol. I usually sew or read unless Mr. LBC convinces me to play a video game with him. 🙂 Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
