Fat Quarter Shop GIVEAWAY! - Sweet LUSH!

Did you know that the Fat Quarter Shop was the very first, "official" sponsor of Hopeful Threads? Yep! I can still remember how warm and enthusiastic Kimberly was about helping and I am still so very grateful for their continued support!
 Aside from having one of the most amazing selections of fabric and patterns on-line, they offer incredible customer service and are just plain nice folks! 
I am very proud to wear their badge on my sidebar!

If you have been around the sewing/quilting blog world for long, you are well aware of their generosity with giveaways. And today it's our turn!!! The lovely Fat Quarter Shop is offering one of you this absolutely GORGEOUS bundle of the new Patty Young collection, Sweet Lush...
