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.

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 love hand quilting and EPP during the rain. Sometimes just listening to the raindrops fall and other times along with a Food Network marathon. Chopped is my fave.

I like to read with a window open so I can hear the rain. I also sew more in more because I’m a fair weather gardener and hate trying to weed in the rain.

At least you hooked the exoskeletons onto your own clothing. Daughter 2 hooked them onto Daughter 1 for and interesting scene. I don’t do much differently on rainy days than sunny ( I live in the Pacific Northwest where to change plans due to rain would mean way too frequent changes. Just dress for it.)

Well, in Germany, it really doesn’t matter if it rains or not… people are out in the rain. All kids have an extenstive set of rain gear at home and in kindergarten! As long as it’s not a cold rain, I don’t mind getting out in the rain, but to be perfectly honest, I’d rather enjoy my rainy days the sewing machine… wouldn’t you?

I live in a city that was founded on a wetland, go figure! In the miserable weather we so often get to enjoy in winter, I like sitting near a fire, with my stitching on my lap. Or reading a book. Or reading blogs. It rains a fair bit, so it pays to have a lineup of entertainment, or else you start to notice the housework that needs doing. Thanks for the giveaway. Tarnia.hodges at gmail.com

On rainy days I like to put my wellies and raincoat on and take the dog for a walk, then come home, get dried off, make a big cup of tea and spend the rest of the day sewing or quilting. Bliss 🙂
