GIVEAWAY: Amy Butler Fabric from Small Grapes!
>> Thursday, March 11, 2010
Today we are pleased to be hosting a lovely giveaway by Small Grapes - a fabulous Etsy shop which sells fabric and patterns...and where I purchased my Amy Butler Fabric from for the shower!
***
So let's meet the shop-owner, shall we? Meet Shannon:
My name is Shannon and I live near Seattle, Washington with my husband and our three children. I have a degree in Graphic Design but stayed home once our first daughter was born (long story short, I had preeclampsia and she was born at 28 weeks weighing 1lb. 12oz. She has right hemiplegia cerebral palsy).
{Bloom & Grow Fabric by Riley Blake}
On how her shop got its start:
I originally had a hand sewn goods shop on Etsy but when I discovered we were expecting our third child, I KNEW that there was no way I could keep sewing for customers and parent a new baby. So, I combined my love of fabric, design, and sewing into Small Grapes. It originally launched in July 2009 and has grown steadily since then.

Shannon's favorite listing in her shop:
Shannon's favorite listing in her shop:
My favorite shop item at the moment is this new fabric that just came in yesterday from Riley Blake called Retro Green Umbrellas. Maybe it is living near Seattle and having so much rain, but I love the greens and the umbrellas. It was just too perfect that I couldn't pass it up.
What inspires Shannon:
I'm lucky to be able to work out of my home with three kids running around on acres of land within close proximity to the Puget Sound. I'm inspired by nature, by my children's different personalities, and by the water. I also spend far too much time online scouring crafting blogs...I love hand thrown ceramics, stained glass windows, and typography. I have a collection of tattered Moleskine journals chock full of sketches for quilts, clothing, handbags, and fabric lines.

I'm crazy for the umbrellas!!! I also think the white map is super duper cute too.
I really like the Checked Floral in Grey. If I win I will probably make a few little pocketbooks for friends birthdays.
I love love the Bloom, Bloom and Grow and would love to use that for fabric flags for our wedding picnic
I would use Cream Vine, Bloom and Grow by Riley Blake to make a little craft for my little niece :)
The umbrellas are awesome! Bring on spring!
I like too many! My choices for using in my revamp of our rec room would be Cream Polka Dot Punch, Park Fountains in Yellow and Sophie's Garden is cute too! I agree that I love the umbrellas, but I still think the Polka Dot would find its way all around my house!
I would use the prize giveaway fabric for making a rag/patch style pillow case, then the rest of the fabric could be used to make my niece a cute little skirt...she is almost 1. :)
I love Sophie's garden. I would use it to make a quilt for my best friend's 1st baby girl coming in a few weeks! What a lovely giveaway!

My fave is Fat Quarter - Mountain Gem in Celadon, Deer Valley Collection, BUT it was almost impossible to pick! I love them all really. Currently I'm making over my bedroom and the guest bedroom - I'm planning to cover small boxes for the dressers to put rings/jewelry in at night before bed. These fabrics would be perfect!
