April showers in the fabric way

Wouldn't it be lovely if April Showers came in the form of fabric showers rather than rain (or if you are in Alberta, snow)? 

Pretty colourful Fat Quarters falling from the sky ever so gently.  Dreamy

Or perhaps in your corner of the world you are tired of April Showers or dreary fall days and need some brightening up of your day. I think I have just the thing. 

I have been asked to host a giveaway from a fantastic quilting shop.  

Sew Sisters is a Canadian quilt shop dedicated to all things quilting. 

For the past decade they have offered Canadian quilters great quality fabric, notions, books, kits and patterns, both in our store in Toronto and online. 

At Sew Sisters we believe you should buy fabric, not postage! So we offer terrific shipping rates on orders within Canada.  They will also ship internationally too.  They also host weekly giveaways on Facebook. 

Look what will be raining down in the giveaway.

Timeless Treasures Basic Rain

The colours remind me of my garden when it blooms with blue delphiniums, red petunias, yellow daisies, pink cosmos, purple irises and blue skies

My garden last June

If you are a follower or want to be leave a second comment for a second chance.

We have had a wonderful May with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures, at last.  With the wonderful weather comes garden work. I have had resign myself I can't do it all right now so my sewing time is very limited these days. 

It is hard to choose which hobby to do.  

But as the saying goes:

 Make hay (flowers) while the sun shines! 

Happy stitching or digging!

 (we might have a couple of rainy days coming up, so maybe I can get some sewing in.)

Blooming

Well I finally have some colour in my garden. It has been a long wait but I think summer is finally here. Just because it says so on the calendar doesn't always mean it actually feels like it here. Now we just keep our fingers crossed that no major hail comes in the next couple of weeks, which is typical. Since I am busy playing in the dirt I am not getting as much sewing done. I can only do one hobby at a time. However, I am working on a quilt for a cousin that is going through some chemo treatments. Hope to work on it more tomorrow, but it is hard to sew when the sun shines!!

Enjoy some of my garden flowers!
