The cool thing about the fabric is that Pokey herself painted, dyed, stamped it. It's all one of a kind. I'll have to plan a special project for this! I know what you're thinking - I already have way too much fabric, and yes, I do! But I didn't buy this, so I guess I haven't broken my pledge. I'll take a picture of the fabric as soon as I get it, probably in a week or so!
I didn't get upstairs to my studio today, but I did work on my applique circles. Tomorrow I'm planning to work on two new projects though. One will be a batik project and the other will be entitled, "Beer Garden." I'll post my progress tomorrow.
In celebration of my fabric bonanza, I've decided to have my own giveaway. Professional organizers always say that when you bring something new into your house, you need to get rid of something else. So that's what I'm going to do...
Comment to this post by Monday, October 6, at 12 midnight CDT and I'll randomly select one winner to receive a selection of fall fabrics and an autographed copy of my book, Fabric Photo Play. Good luck to all.

That's so kind of you to have a giveaway yourself. I didn't know organizers said to give something away whenever you brought something in. I should put that into practice myself and then maybe my basement wouldn't be such a treasure trove of stored items!

Ha ha...my hubby has the same sentiment, when he buys new underwear and socks, he throws all the old ones away!
I'd love to be included in the giveaway! Maybe I should do the same (it is kind of overflowing in here!)
That's great to get a giveaway Julie when you are resisting so well buying any. The batik project sounds interesting. Love batik work

I didn't know that rule existed. It's really hard for me to part with my fabric. I'm enjoying reading your blog!!

Boy, if you could see my sewing room, I'd have to have a giveaway every day for a long time to get it under control. Of course I'd rather win your fabric then deal with organizing what I already have, I say the more the merrier!

Hi Judy - Your blog is looking great - I haven't been able to read in a while. Congrats on your successful month of the no-buy challenge. Not buying fabric sure has not dampened your creativity at all. See you at Bee or Guild!

Congrats on your win, Judy. And count me in the drawing. I pledged not to buy more fabric, too. But I never pledged to not win some. --Susan C.
Heehee! That's so great that you won!
A number of years ago I lucked into finding out about a woman who was giving away a giant box of fabric (she was going to grad school - no more time for sewing). She decided to give it to me. I couldn't believe it - so of course I doled out more then half of it to my friends who also quilt. It was more fun to give it away then stash it away!
BTW - the give away fabrics look very nice. =)
Oh, darn, a little too late. Well, congrats on winning that giveaway, and great blog!
