So what does all this mean? Well, I am having a little giveaway today, as are many others who have linked up with the Leap Day Giveaway. This is what I'm giving away here.
A little square mug rug/mini-quilt, along with three fat quarters of fabric featuring birds, and a mug to go with it!
I love spring, especially when the songbirds migrate back through this area from their wintering grounds. That's a few weeks away yet for us in the Upper Midwest, but these little bird print fabrics put me in the mood.
From left to right, the fabrics are Legacy Studios Fresh Fusion Blue Birds, Lantern Bloom Hanging Cages by Laura Gunn for Michael Miller, and Woodcut Garden by Paula Prass for Michael Miller. All have been prewashed and pressed, because that's how I roll.

Love it all. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric! The mug rug is fantastic and I'd love to have one. I'm planning on making some but not for myself, so I need one :)
ReplyDeleteThrifted is always good. Spring I like flowers and trees sprouting. Then about 10 min later I hate it as I start to sneeze so I have to take it in quickly before the eyes water.

You just find the best fabrics. Those bird cages really caught my eye, and the little yellow birds in your mug rug are wonderful. The blues and the yellows in your little quilted masterpiece just sing.
ReplyDeleteThat's how you "roll"!!!
One word "Daffodils" ;)
ReplyDeleteI love when the crocus start to bloom, I know it's Spring then :) thanks for the chance to win that beautiful Mug Rug.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding giveaway! I love spring flowers and goldfinches in their summer colors. I hate severe weather like we're supposed to be getting today!
ReplyDeleteSpring, spring is gardening time, digging for days, choosing seeds, trimming the last bushes, hedges and trees, it's the time of wardrobe changing, that means spring summer stuff out and autumn winter stuff away - I should mention that I have a tiny wardrobe. Spring si the return of colour and sun and the first sunburn of the year and the run right afterwards to buy new sun screen ... Thanks for the lovely give away (btw. the mug is great!)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 2 yrs, love the blog, love the pictures and stories!lak

ReplyDeleteLove the fabric. Love the mug and rug. thanks for the chance to win. I love spring flowers. My favorites are hyacinth. They smell so good. When my lilac bush blooms, I fill my house with them.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about using birds for a shower I am giving in a couple of months. How great this would be to add to my list of stuff I could use! I love these fabrics. We saw robins here last week, i thought it was a bit early, but they were here none the less! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 2 years of blogging! I love blogging and reading blogs, too. I'm glad that I found yours! :) Love, love, love all the BIRD fabric!!!! Thanks for posting the fabric names/designers. I love the one with the bird cage.

Thanks for the chance to win all your lovely prizes. debgiro at wildblue dot net
ReplyDeleteabsolutelu love your giveaway. thanks. I love seeing the daffodils in the spring as they are my favorite flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway! Thanks for the chance! I like switching to DST in the spring!
ReplyDeleteI like to see the redbuds in bloom in spring. It's such an unusual color against the hillsides.
ReplyDeleteI don't want the mug--will save on your shipping!
My favorite thing about spring is the way that the air smells when spring has finally arrived. It gives me hope that I don't have to stare at snow anymore.
ReplyDeleteSpring flowers!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty! I love birds -have 4 feeders. One spring we had a Cardinals nest in our cypress bush, right next to our patio. SO, I always hope they will come back.
ReplyDeleteYour giveaway definitely looks like spring to me. I love everything about spring and I'd love to win your giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Love your little mug rug! I love watching all the flowers come up in my garden in the Spring.

ReplyDeleteLove the birds! They could join some I already have in my stash. I've got to say spring is my favorite season. I sure can't complain about the winter we've had this year, but the sounds of the birds coming back and getting busy, the flowers blooming, even the grass beginning to need mowing. I'm a fan.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!

Spring is my favorite season and I it's because of the birds. I know it is not spring yet but the birds were singing this morning!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love, the birdie fabric & believe it or not, I don't own a mug rug! but I do have alot of "favorite" coffee mugs & would add yours to my collection if I win - thanks so much for the chance. We are in the middle of a snowstorm - 14 inches so far, so I can't even begin to think about Spring!!! (northern Wisconsin)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I collect mugs and that's a real cutie! And I also LOVE birds, so I think this giveaway has my name on it! =^..^=
ReplyDeleteHow cute are these? Oh man, I'm totally a fan!
ReplyDeleteGreat prizes. Thanks for offering. I love the fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteI love Spring. The transitionness of it. The hopefulness that includes feet of wet snow and little bits of green poking out. Some years if I'm lucky it also means rain--which I really miss living in the high mountain desert. Our Spring last well into June most of the time.
ReplyDeleteDarling prize. What I love about spring is the beautiful greens you don't see any other time.
ReplyDeleteLove the warming weather in spring...so heavenly. Such a beautiful giveaway package!
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty bird themed gift pack!! I also love birds but my feeders have been pretty much birdless all winter. I love Spring for the warmer weather and the bulbs popping up but I loathe Spring for the mud. Happy leap Day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful spring prizes! In Norway it should still be winter, but we have a wonderful spring weather. Today I have enjoyed a long, nice walk in the sun!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about spring. I love the colour as everything comes to life. the cherry blossoms, tulips and spring flowers. I love the fresh new fabrics. thank you for a great spring time giveaway
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part about spring is seeing my tulips poke up from the now thawed ground, and seeing all the buds on the trees and all the green popping up everywhere. Winter can be so long and spring is just so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI live in farm country and in the spring they cut hay and I love the smell of fresh cut hay. My allergies don't but I do. Thanks for the give away. Congratulations on two years of blogging and Happy Leap Day!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for spring, although our winter has not been very bad at all where I am, just a couple of nuisance snows and then it is gone in a day or two. I love hearing birds in the mornings in the springtime and watching the squirrels and chipmunks coming out of hiding.
ReplyDeleteHappy Leap Day!
I love spring, love when the birds sing, and by the way I love the mug as well as the mug rug.
ReplyDeleteWhat great fabric! and the mug rug is cute! I like Spring because everything gets a new start and is fresh and clean. I look forward to Spring, since today all it's done is snow... Thanks for a chance to win! :)

ReplyDeleteI love spring, the birds, flowers and promise of better weather to come :)
ReplyDeleteLove your prize. So many pretty things. I love spring weather - sun, warmth, etc. I don't like tornadoes. One of those in Kansas last night was within 10 miles of where I live. Too close for comfort.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Happy Leap Day 2012 to you too. Cute mug rug, fabrics and mug too. I would love to win! Thanks for having a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love birds and love to see the trees bloom out and hear the birds talk about it. I live in the country and can see the geese fly back from wherever they go and I love to hear them too. Sping and Autumn are my favorite times of the year because of all the changing. Spring is my 2nd favorite to Autumn only because of allergies.
Would love to receive this giveaway! Thanks for the chance! I love spring snow!
