Japanese Fat Quarters Giveaway!
I’ve been doing a major clean-up at home. Thankfully my move has been postponed for a few months but it feels good to be going through boxes throwing stuff out/giving stuff away :-)
I’ve got some fat quarters of fabric recently brought back from Japan. I have no need for them so I thought a giveaway would be appropriate! They are novelty cotton prints, measuring 50cm x 35cm each. I have two packs consisting of 3 fat quarters each to giveaway:
Pack 1:
Pack 2:
To be in the running to win either of these, please leave a comment on this post about something (anything – a link, an event, a person, etc) that has inspired you this week. Please leave your comment by midnight (Australian EST) on Thursday, 4th February and I will draw two winners (one for each pack) on Friday.
Wishing you all a fantastic February!

These quotes were on Facebook recently from a FanPage of Infinitely Sweet and they are things I need to remember…they have inspired me…
~In order to reach our full potential to learn, we must accept and then transform anxiety and fear, relentlessly seeking accurate information on our performance. What used to be perceived as criticism now becomes a gift for constructive growth. ~ Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault. Blaming others, however, keeps us in a stuck state and is ultimately rough on our own self-esteem.~
~ “We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.” ~ “”I can’t do it” never yet accomplished anything; “I will try” has performed wonders.~ “There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be.”~
~Gratitude before me, gratitude behind me, gratitude to the left of me, gratitude to the right of me, gratitude above me, gratitude below me, gratitude within me, gratitude all around me.~ Dear Lord, thank you for giving me so much. I know I take it for granted sometimes. Today I am going to acknowledge your goodness and gifts in everything. Help me to balance being happy where I am with the need to grow in you.~
~ “Whether or not we realize it each of us has within us the ability to set some kind of example for people. Knowing this would you rather be the one known for being the one who encouraged others, or the one who inadvertently discouraged those around you?” ~
~”Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.”~”People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.”~”Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.”~”Success usuallly comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.”~

Hi! I have been inspired by the first decent amount snow we had in the last 2 days. Living in the south this is very rare and I enjoyed walking through the back yard with my girls. Spotting lots of foot/paw prints of different animals and birds, we learned that there are so many animals around here and they secretly wander our yard while we are in bed. Thinking it is very exciting and fun. And the snow with the reflection of morning sun was just beautiful.

Hi!
I am new to your site and picked up the link from whipit. First of all I think your site and its colorful cuteness is very inspiring and uplifting.
Specifically, I was inspired by a fellow blythe enthusiast from Plastic Paradise to take the plunge and start customizing some of my dolls. Her insight and generousity made me feel like I could do it, and
I did!

I have been inspired by my son who put on such a brave face for the first day of school. At home that night, he gave me a huge hug and whispered in my ear that he had been really scared, but didn’t cry and then forgot about being scared and had a really good day.

Ooh i love this! And such cute fabric! I’d sew some mini keychain softies. My lil inspirational tale of the week: My brother introduced me to a recent tv mini series called ‘Alice’ (he knew I loved all things Alice, thanks bro!) – from the same people who made ‘Tinman’ it is a re-imagining of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (imo I liked it!), which in turn inspired me to finally pick up my Alice book I forgotten I own, wipe the dust off and read it completely. The riddles and poems, the illustrations, the fantasy and humour in the book inspired ideas for my art projects. Ahh how things pan out :)

February 2nd, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Hi Jho, how nice of you to do a give-away. I like pack 2 cause of the strawberries with stripes combination.
I was inspired this week by a member of my Dutch sewing board who made a baby wrapping (lodger) for her sister-in-law. I should really try to make one too. And I was inspired by you (because your Peg bear is in it) to buy the book “one yard wonders”, I hope it will arrive soon.
Sending a big hug for you and the girls from The Netherlands,

I have also been sorting out my sewing room and found some beautiful embroidered tablecloths made by my grandmother over 60 years ago. Was again amazed how she did such exsquite work while raising 6 children on a farm in country queensland. It inspired me to keep sewing and creating beautiful things for my family
[Reply]
February 2nd, 2010 at 8:41 pm
Hi Jho!
I’m inspired to create by my 4yo son & 2yo baby girl (not so baby really). The minute they sniff a project for them is being stitched, one will sit on my lap the other will hover on my left CONSTANTLY, till said project is complete & in either one’s hot little hands. But the thing that gets me fired up is the squeals of delight & eye’s that go as big as saucers when they see it complete. It gives me the greatest buzz, that something I made for my babies makes them so happy. Oh & it’s really good to have you back, I missed your chirpy blog. I swear that it’s so true (having had a good dose of horror events myself) if it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger & hopefully a little wiser…
[Reply]
February 3rd, 2010 at 12:26 am

I love Linda Thompson’s sewing room. It has lots of jars full of brightly colored things. And shelves of beautiful fabric. Reminds me of my jars full of buttons I inherited from my grandmother.

i am continually inspired by most ALL the women that blog, sew, share tutorials, techniques and their beautiful creations. there are far too many to list just one. it starts small, with generosity and mutual interests. i would have to say i am inspired this week by my flickr group swap group. i have gained more wonderful fabric (usually lots of extras) just because we all love fabric. i love them all.

All you wonderful bloggers have inspired me to get crafty. Coming from a non-crafty family and not-so-crafty friends I find so much inspiration online. In particular this week, I’m loving Leigh-Ann’s blog http://frecklednest.blogspot.com/ and her easy tutorials. Thanks for the chance to win. xoxo

I don’t know if I would call it inspired, but something refreshed my soul, which can bring about inspiration lol…
I am on Etsy as a buyer only, and I definetly have some loyalty to certain shops… well, I came home today to find the sweetest valentine turtle bead in my mail from Maybeads, who made it just for me… it brought tears to my eyes how sweet it was… and having had a horrible week so far it brightened everything for me.

I have been inspired by my class of Year 4 students who are very passionate that our Australian flag should stay as it is… they believed that the history behind it and the different features of our flag are there for a reason and shouldn’t be changed… it is so great to see them so passionate and interested in this issue… I’ll be glad when it’s Friday hometime, it’s always a tiring first week for everyone… love Jo xxx

This is what I’m planning to do now: http://thelongthread.com/?p=173
It’s quite ‘old’, but I discovered it two days ago… I don’t know if it’s valid or if I’m still in time (I live in Spain and I’m not sure about the time… :S).
I think these fabrics would make my goose look greate! ;)

My DD inspired me this week even after having her husband over seas to work as a fire fighter for three months, she was eager enough to get him home but still told each of the 4 kids that they could have a day at home from school with dad. What a MOM.

just sewing the binding on one of my quilts this week (one that has been in a pile of unfinished projects) has inspired me to finish a lot more!

a dear friend who has recently been diagnosed with terminal bowel and liver cancer – it certainly puts your own worries into perspective

Sometimes i wonder about the reason why modern society has become like this. It’s just depressing :(. I’m going to go consume a beer and relax now! I am sorry if i got everyone down.
