Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a brilliant day. It’s time for us to announce the winner of our Birds of a Feather giveaway. Allison Cole designed a stunning fabric collection, and we are so glad you all enjoy it too. We were absolutely amazed and tickled by all the original project comments, and had so much fun perusing through all the ideas. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this giveaway; we sure have a lot of creative readers! But alas, only one person will be receiving this week’s fantastic FQ bundle. Be sure to check next week’s Winsday for another giveaway!

But now, it is time. The winner of our Birds of a Feather giveaway is… Louise Horler!

There were so many creative project ideas, but we thought Louise’s idea of using the fabric to create feathers for bird wings was ingenious! Her two children will look just darling in them. Please be sure to send us pictures of the finished project; we would love to see! Congratulations, Louise. Please send us your mailing address at info@camelotfabrics.com

Once again, thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway! There are still lots more opportunities to come, so be sure to stay tuned! We post 5 days a week on our blog, each day with a different theme, that we hope can give you some daily inspiration. Until next Winsday…

Happy Sewing!
