*CLOSED* falalalaFABRIC Giveaway from Charm Stitch!

UPDATED: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS EVERYONE FOR ENTERING!!!

Today you are the Luckiest of Readers because Charm Stitch is giving away a stack of EIGHT gorgeous fat quarters! WOOT! Keep reading for more details...

Today I'm pleased to introduce you to another fabric-loving friend I met at Weekend Sewing in Vermont. I must confess I actually stalked Laura (the owner of Charm Stitch) online before I left for Vermont and freaked out a little bit because with two weeks to go she had already made a list of things she was going to make and was talking about needing to trace patterns yet. Tracing?! I hadn't even thought about making a list! Once we got to the workshop, Laura kicked it into gear and got started right away on a beautiful Nani Iro double gauze tunic. The woman is a machine, I tell you. It was downright admirable. Here's photographic evidence:

It became immediately evident to me that even if organization or ability to focus were not traits I shared with her, we did share a love of fabric. Laura is a true fabric geek and her shop, Charm Stitch, is a delight to peruse. For instance, you all know I am a hopeless addict of Heather Ross' Far Far Away fabrics and Laura always has a great selection:

and I just about died when I saw these new Yuwa Sweet Grids in her shop the other day. This is the sort of fabric I always buy too little of and end up wishing I had more of, because these go with absolutely everything. They're available as a fat quarter bundle too, ack!

Here are Laura's favorite Yuwas:

So I'm thrilled Laura agreed to join our giveaways this month and share a bundle of her lovely fabric with you!


THE CHARM STITCH STORY
I think one of the reasons I love Charm Stitch so much (besides the awesome fabric) is that it reflects a dream that I can really relate to. Laura writes: "In 2008 I became addicted to sewing. This was the kind of addiction that if you don't find a way to write off your expenses the husband is going to book back-to-back appointments with the accountant and the therapist. Thinking about my preferences, I realized how few shops carried the most enchanting lines and I determined to start my own for very selfish reasons." 

little bolero made by Laura with Far Far Away II

One day in her hometown of Baltimore, she found herself walking past an empty shop window and dreaming of a fabric shop inside with a classroom of sewing machines and difficult-to-find Japanese fabrics. In her shop, Laura has carefully curated a lovely selection of eclectic prints with a tendency toward Japanese designs, and although currently she only sells her fabrics online, she's brutally honest about where she wants to be: "In a perfect world, the online shop will take off and I'll find myself with an adorable retail shop leaving trails of thread wherever I go." On her website she tells her customers: "I hope that you will support my endeavor by becoming a patron of the online shop. Every sale gets Charm Stitch one step closer to bringing a superior, modern sewing resource to Baltimore." I'm so excited to see those dreams become a reality. You can read more about Laura here and Charm Stitch here.
