There are strike-offs everywhere at the studio today, looking better than ever. They tend to show up with only a moment's notice and require a fast turn around. Reviewing fabric samples takes daylight though—and therefore a reshuffling of the day's top projects. If it can be done in the dark, it gets bumped.
Over my years designing fabric, I've learned that the sooner I hand in my color notes, the sooner I get finished fabric in hand. When strike-offs arrive, our little ant hill stirs into a frenzy to get the job done and set the world straight again.
All stirred up and settled back down again. Daylight has faded, but the job is done. Even better, we don't have to wait till this collection is ready for production before... there... will... be... fabric.
In fact, we don't have to wait long at all. There is a tower of boxes a few feet behind me—just delivered today—that house a brand-new fabric collection. The only thing holding me back from tearing into the shipment is getting today's giveaway posted while it's still the 28th!
So,
let's hop to it. You enter the giveaway, I'll open the boxes. And as
soon as daylight rolls back in, we'll take some pictures, sew up a few
little ditties and set the pretties before you within the week.
With a new fabric collection close at hand, I figure a $50 gift certificate to the HeatherBaileyStore.com would make someone's day.
Comment to enter. One entry per household. Be sure to include your email address in the comment form so we can contact you if you win.

Good luck!
