I've stashed all my recent fabric purchases under my cutting table so as not to alarm my hubby. But he shouldn't be alarmed anyway, because they were all purchased with gift certificates. Lucky me! So I'm spreading the wealth!
Wilbur doesn't want me to tell you this...
But I'm giving away TWO fat quarter bundles of Hope Valley!
To enter, leave a comment between now and next Wednesday, December 16th. Post a link on your blog and you'll have THREE chances to win! In your comment, tell me something interesting: either about yourself, or maybe what you would like to use the fat quarters for.I've been working on a new project. Here's a sneak peek:
This is just the rough layout. I'm still not completely sold on the background. And I have to add a bunch of little details still.
Happy stitching, peeps!

Those little house are very cute. Is it from a pattern or your original design?
Would love to win the FQ's! I think I would use them for a donation quilt.
I would make a quilt for my soon to arrive
grandaughter and she would just love
it. Thanks for the giveaway, it's so
generous. I dont have a Blog.

aaahh! I'd love to use some for a quilt. Your little houses are so cute, reminds me of vintage children's books.
Humm, what would I use them for. Likely wall art! I love her patterns but I don't want to have to cut any of the pieces!
Most likely a quilt but I like to let the fabric speak to me :)
Such a fabulous giveaway - thank you:)
What a great givaway. i would try a mini quilt with this lovely lot!
carlandrach@optusnet.com.au
Love your giveaway and I will be happy to post...look on my left sidebar. Thanks...it is awesome.
I love your layout for your next quilt, but I too think it would be good to try a different background.
I just posted about your giveaway on my site where I share insights on contests & giveaways: http://sewcalgalcontestinfo.blogspot.com/

What a great giveaway! I would love to make a quilt for my daughter with the FQ's. Thanks for entering me.
I'd love to win your lovely FQs! We have Hannuka's vacation coming up, so I'll have time to enjoy crafting with it!
Oh my gosh! Jennifer, this is awesome and I need to win! I would either mix the hope valley with the FMF I have to make myself (finally) a quilt or I would use some to make a pretty purse! I think you know a lot of interesting things about me already, hehe!
Great giveaway! I just love Deer Valley.
Your house looks great. The background is nice - no need to change it!

Hey darling, I'm back! I stole one of your photos and created a little button on my blog (in the sidebar) that links back to your giveaway! Now I got another three entries, right? :D
My go-to shower gift is a banner with the baby's name, I love having a variety of fabrics to choose from!

LoVe FQ's! I am going to attempt to make a "filmstrip quilt" I found on another blog. Looks super easy! Let you know if it turns out!
Donna
I like what you're doing with the houses, but I agree you might want to try some different backgrounds. Thanks for the chance to win the fabric. I'd probably make it into a snuggle quilt to give away to someone in need of a warm blanket.
this fabric is amazing...thanks for the chance to win the giveaway.
oh how fun.
:)
i'm thinking that i would use these for an amazing table runner made with string blocks.
I'm starting to spy out fabrics for a yoyo table cloth I want to make this coming winter/year. A few of those would work with the colors I'm using. THanks.
These fabircs are so sweet, if I was so lucky to win I would love to make something for my youngest daughter for working so hard at her exams this year.
I just love that house design!! Can't wait to see it after you jazz it up!
SheilaC
I love your sneak peek. Love those fabrics. I would probably stare at them for awhile, then find a cute pattern to make with them.
OH, I forgot... if I won those yummy fabrics I would use them in a quilt for my daughter... I think they would be the perfect colors for her!
Thank you for sharing this give away!
SheilaC
Mmm, yummy fabric. I'm thinking either a quilt or a fabric taggy book for a friend's new baby. Possibilities.
I love your house quilt.
Great giveaway! I would make a quilt for my best friend.
Great giveaway. I'm not sure what I would make. I would have to have them in hand and hopefully they would speak to me.
OMG love, love, love your houses!!!!! Can't wait to see the finished product!!!!
Hugs!
I love what your working on. Too cute! I have been wanting to try a vanishing 9 patch quilt and pomised myself the next set of fat quarters would be it. Thanks for sharing your wealth (fabric and ideas)
woo wee, what a great giveaway! That house quilt looks great.
You're so nice and willing to share! I think I would use them in a hexagon quilt.
I would love to use these to make my first quilt ever! I'm just getting started and my DH is a little concerned about the money I'm willing to spend to begin this new craft. I think this would ease his mind a bit!
You want to know something interesting about me....hmmmm....I took a cruse alone when I turned 30. I was having a bit of a panic about turning 30 so I called the travel agent and gave them my credit card number and told them to take me anywhere in the world leaving on a particular day and returning one week later. She called me back and told me I was going on a cruise. I had an absolute ball and even went to a nude beach for the first time in my life. Thank God I was alone....I found an empty area....where there was absolutely no one around....stripped off my suite..laid down....honestly less than 30 seconds...I put my suite back on and walked away so proud of myself. I'm such a risk taker..ROFL....truth!!!
Smiles,
Kelly
Ok...I've posted a link on my blog. Thanks for the opportunity.
Smiles,
Kelly
I would love to win the fabric but if not I would love to win Wilbur! LOL We have several Maltese and love them dearly.

Ohhh I love your sneak peek project!
Love the two bundles you have to giveaway! Would love to win one! I would use them for a new tablerunner I have in mind! Thanks for the chance!
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance. Here's a link to my blog http://hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/.
Something interesting about me...hmmmm...I'm currently working on a Dear Jane quilt.
Something interesting about me: I live in an RV and have wicker trunk to keep my fabrics in. I live far away from any fabric stores so I have to shop online most of the time. I miss going to the store and feeling and seeing all the colors of fabric there.
If I won this I would make a diaper bag for my new grandchild due in May.
The giveaway fabric is beautiful. I would use them in a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!
Great fabric giveaway! I would make a purse or tote.
i would love to win those FQs! I'm not sure of what I would do with them yet so I'm going to tell you something about myself. I have twins, a boy and a girl.
Thanks for the giveaway! Happy holidays!
misszucchini at yahoo dot ca
Fabulous give away. I would use the fat quarters in a quilt for my daughter. Something about me; I'm 65 and just started quilting, this year.
Thanks for the great giveaway! I would use the fat quarters to make a quilt...probably for my daughter. I owe her one!
What a generous person...I would use the FQ in a quilt...maybe a baby quilt! The house quilt you are making is really cute!!!
Love the fats. I would combine them with some other fabrics and make a zigzag quilt.
Something interesting .... my quilt studio is in a 2 car garage. It was my DH's idea. Love It.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such pretty fabric - if I won I would probably make myself a bag to replace the diaper bag I lost last week . . . at the fabric store oops.
Um, something interesting about myself . . . I tried to get pregnant for 6 years and finally had my daughter through ivf . . . the 5 months later ended up pregnant with my son - So now I have two under two! I call him my buy one get one free baby ;)
I also posted a link on my blog. Thanks :)
Jennifer, what lovely fat quarters, if I was lucky enough to win them I think they would be used in a BOM I am going to do next year, they would be perfect.
Enter me please. Your sneak peak of the new project is so cute.
I'm not sure what I would make with it, but something interesting about me is that I'm a young quilter. I get my inspiration from my grandmother who died well before I was born, but I have always seen her quilts around my house.
Cute fabric. I would probably make some handbags.
Happy Holidays to you Jennifer!
Those are some lovely fabs from Denyse Schmidt and they would make lovely handbag coordinates!!! Oooo! I just love the house scenery quilt you're working on...so cute, and just so I can find out what comes next...I'm FOLLOWING you. Really like your blog!

Pam
Wow, so generous! I'd love to make a baby quilt with those gorgeous fabrics. And as for something about me...I live in a town with no stop lights, no sidewalks and no quilt shop!
That fabric looks lovely! I'd love to add it to a quilt! and your little houses are wonderful! can't wait to see them with all the little details you said you'd be adding!
Wilbur is so cute! You are inspiring me to buy some Hope!!!!
Those houses are adorable...love them...oh, and I so love to have some fat quarters of Hope Valley...it's on my long list!!!
I see those fat quarters being made into an apron for my down to earth homemaker, canning, gardening, chicken farmer of a sister!
What an awesome giveaway! Such cute colors! Your houses are just adorable too.
Since I'm not sure what I'd do with the fabric at the moment, should I win. (I usually have a project scream at me to make it and then I hunt the fabrics.)
I'll try something interesting about me, though there's not much. Let's see. I'm 33 and a glutton for punishment. I work full-time. I go to school full-time. Oh and did I mention that I'm a mom of 3? I've got an 8yr old and 2yr old twins. Well, really a mom of 5 if you count my 38yr old guy and his 16yr old daughter. Ha! Chaos is the norm in my life.
What beautiful fabrics. I've been making a few zakka projects lately, so perhaps they would become a tea cozy, or a new wallet for me. I'ld love to win them :)
Hello Jennifer!
I know the american fabrics are the best for patchwork. So I want to try to win your blog candy. I like sewing, cross-stitching, a nd I wish to patchwork oneday. That's why I need in them ))))))
What interesting to tell you? I think it is fantastic each of us in his own home but we are all together through Internet! It is miracle or what?
I posted your candy in sidebar in my blog
http://larisa-raznosti.blogspot.com/
Merry Christmas! Your give away is very generous. I have been sewing, seems like forever, and quilting for 25 years. I was inspired by my grandmother's twin sister. The house quilt is darling. Will it be a wall hanging or a village made into a bed quilt? I have no blog but still would love to win the fabric. craftelady123@comcast.net
Lovely fabrics. I don't know what I'd do with them except maybe covet them and caress them like I do with all my other fabric. It's becoming an obsession. narekkm@yahoo.com
What a great collection! I would definitely make a quilt out of it! Thanks!
What happy fabrics!
Thanks for the chance.
Sue Cahill (sbonetsue at yahoo dot com)
Your little house looks great.
thanks for the giveaway.
that's so generous of you! I already ordered some but I still need more :)
sasikirana at yahoo
I like the little houses! I follow your blog on my Google reader and always enjoy it! That fabric is so fun, I have not seen it in person yet. Thanks for the giveaway. I think I would make a hip table runner for my dining room. :)
I'd love to make some pillow covers and a patchwork duvet cover for my bed! Thanks for the chance to win and happy holidays to you and yours!
I LOVE little bundles of fabric! I never know what I'd make until they are all laid out on my cutting table . . . then something always pops into my head. - Marlene
I hate snow and have been snowed in for too long and it's only the first snow storm!! But some good news: I am going to be a grandma!!!

I've posted you, become a follower and will tell you a wee bit about me. I'm a quilter! Hee!! Actually I am and can say quilting saved my sanity on many of my husband's deployments through his military career.
Gimme.....Gimme.....Gimme!
Yes, please enter me. As for something interesting...I'm Canadian but I do not live in an igloo:)
Let's see, what would you want to know about me? How about this...a long time ago I was a hunter and was successful in both deer hunting and black bear hunting! I can't even believe it myself any more! Long time ago!
Such a nice giveaway! I've been on a wall hanging kick lately and I think those fabrics would make the perfect small quilt for my kitchen.
Something interesting about me??? I collect Hull pottery. I have it on display all over the house.
Hi!What a sweet Candy!!!Fantastic!!!I would love to use these to make my first quilt for my daughter!I added a link to the sidebar http://pishitejulie.blogspot.com/
Thank you so much for the chance to take part!!!
Greetings from Russia,
Ukka
Wilbur was right - you shouldn't be telling us about this. He is sooo cute.
Oh so fun! I would love these to make something for my new daughter! I have been wanting this fabric. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Nice giveaway, I created a link from my blog but didn't get Wilbur's picture. this blog thing is all so new and I am still trying to figure things out. I will keep working on that...after all that is what got my attention!
Would love to win some of this line. I've been drooling over it. That's all I'd probably do with it for awhile - look at it and drool on it ;)
I wish I had a blog to spread the news of this wonderful giveaway! Everyone deserves a little Denyse Schmidt in their lives. I have 2 plans for Hope Valley. One is to sew a sleeveless blouse...the vintage look and muted colors seem ideal for this. Two is to sew a quilt for my little cousin...her favourite colors are pink and orange and I am trying to steer her away from all the commercial consumerism and get her appreciating handmade and unique a little more. It is so awesome that you are willing to share. Thanks!
Oh my goodness thank you for the chnace, I would add them to a quilt, that is, if I could cut into them!!
Love your houses and I like a white background makes the rest of the quilt pop!
Thanks so much for this great giveaway! Most of the fabric I use is salvaged from old or unwanted clothes. And I have some former cotton shirts that would look lovely with these, in a bedquilt. It would be my first bed-size.
What lovely fat quarters! I'd love to add them into a scrappy quilt :0) I turn 40 in 1 hour and 45 minutes... I'm not sure I'm ready.
Love your sneak peak!
I love your sneak peek! So inspiring!
Something interesting about myself... Some folks can roll their tongue into an "o", I can fold my tongue into a "W" shape. So I can spell out"Wooo" using my tongue. That sounded so creepy but its 1:25 in the morning so hopefully I made you laugh and didn't weird you out.
Great fabrics!
Well what would I make?? well you have to fondle them a LOT first... fabric fondling is a past time.. I think I'd make some lovely nine patch/snowball blocks.. a small wallhanging or table topper perhaps.. I've not seen that range here in australia...
An interesting thing about me.. hmmmmmm I am pretty boring: I collect Pandora charms, its not a collection as such, more of a fetish.. I am onto my fourth bracelet.. and the fetish will have to stop soon otherwise my arms will be dragging along the ground from the weight of the bracelets!
take care
Lissa
I think I would make a lap sized coin quilt out of the fabric! So many possibilities from one stack of fabric... thanks for the giveaway!
Something interesting? I'm from Yakutia, the coldest place on Earth, now living in Austria, Europe for almost half of my life. Oh, I'm also fabric and all things handmade obsessed, so I opened my own land-based shop. No idea when I'll bring myself to cut into these wonderfulness, to be honest.
Thanks for the chance!
Gorgeous fabrics, and you are so generous to share! Something about me: I love to watch zombie movies while I sew. I know...freak! :) Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
hola! me llamo sol, y quisiera participar del sorteo. soy principiante en el mosaico, y todavia tengo mucho que aprender, cada dia mas me apasiona este mundo de las telas. espero algun dia ser una experta como muchas de ustedes. cariños a todas.
Thank you for the chance to win. pLease let me know when you make a pattern for those adorable houses.
ahhhh! I cannot wait to get my hope valley!! Ok, so something interesting about me. hmm, I've been whitewater kayaking in Mexico. Does that work? Do I win now, hehe?
Seriously, thanks so much for the great giveaway!
What a lovely Christmas giveaway...I've been hankering after this line but trying to resist! It is so beautiful tho..A quilt would be what I'd make...eventually!
The houses are a great beginning for a wonderful quilt. Love the FQs. If I won them, I would use them to make my BIL a quilt to welcome him home from Kuwait. Thanks for the opportunity.
Very beautyfull fabrics! I surely will try to make something for my children from it, and post it on my blog. But for this I need to win it:)
Hugs,
Arien
I think your fabric stash is ginormous and the fact that you are willing to give away any of it extremely generous. I love the dog btw!
Thanks for the opportunity. I see a quilt with pinwheels.
I love your fat quarters especially as I am a new quilter!! Please enter me in your giveaway.
I haven't worked with grey yet, so I would love to add some of those wonderful prints and start!
Whoa, 102 comments! The light on those houses are is fabulous. Your surface they're laid out on must be in a great spot in your house! ;)
My gosh, something interesting about myself, well, I don't know that it is interesting but I started quilting a little over 18 months ago when the health issues I suffer from (Scleroderma and Neuropathy) put an end to my hand stitching and also crocheting doilies. My husband brought my machine it that had been stored for 12 years while we raised grandchildren and he told me he hoped I could use it for something fun. I no longer had a need nor desire to make clothing so my wonderful sister in law introduced me to quilting. In that I found an amazing therapy I had never imagined. I not only relieves many of the symptoms of my problems, it relieves stress. The rest of the world just kind of melts away when I sit down to my sewing machine. It's true, when God closes a door, he opens a window. Quilting is my window. As for what I would make with the fabric. Well, that new project your working on is absolutely wonderful. Though I'm certain there is no patter available for it but something along that line...yup. Fun stuff. Thanks for a chance to enjoy some of your treasures. Good luck to everyone in the giveaway!!!
Oooo I love DS's new line, I've been lusting over them! I have a new quilt planned for myself (selfish, I know) and I think some Hope Valley is just perfect! Thank you for the giveaway!!
Beautiful fabric, just perfect for a little quilt!
Very generous! I love the little house quilt you're working on!
Something interesting...It's been so cold here the last few days school was cancelled! -40 C (I don't know what that is in F. I feel like I live in the arctic!
I think the fat quarters are stunning- I would use them in a fun quilt.
I hope that you do not suffer too much with your finger. It looks and sounds like a pretty painful accident to me.
We are surviving the cold here in Alberta. We were the coldest place in North America with a temp of -43 C + wind chill. I enjoyed being at home cooking and decorating.
Warmest regards from Western Canada,
Anna
I'd like to make an incredible bag if I win the fat quarters!, I'm a bag-aholic, I'm sure it's going to turn awesome!
I put a button on my sidebar, hmmmm the fabrics are yummy, thanks for hosting the giveaway
Thank you for the chance to win your sweet candy!!! http://pinktatjanchen.blogspot.com/
I would love to win your fat quarters! Unfortunatly it hasn't hit any fabric stores near me yet - I live in Australia though so that could be why! I actually left a comment on a newer post about my home ec teacher - so the interesting fact about me is I am proud to admit that I have been sewing for over 12 years, but I'm only 23 :) My friends thinnk I'm a little weird..
These fabric's are beautiful!! I've posted about your candy in my blog :) If I would winn. I would sew hearts with them, I'm still getting to know my sewing macine, and I've made rice-bags to heat up my kid's bed's and I just sew my 3rd hear to hang up for decorations (from my leftover fabric from the rice bags)and I'm going to make some with christmas fabric to hang in the window. If I winn these I'd make more hearts or maby try sewing on my sweeties clothes..
ooh! so generous! i hide my fabric aquistions from my hubby too...
my ER finger visit was caused by a meat cleaver bouncing off of a squash :(
I do not want to play the sympathy card but I just found out that my mother has lung cancer. I would use the fat quarters to make her a prayer quilt. She has been sick a long time but I never made her a prayer quilt before. I only yesterday realized I have made them for countless others but never made one for her, not a prayer quilt anyway. I think she may need one now. Don't worry if I don't win I will still make her own quilt. But if you could say a little prayer for her that would be a win for me. Thank You! Happy Holidays!
Wowwie... great giveaway! I would use the fq set on a coordinating sracf and bag set ;) And make all my nonclever friends super jealous! LOL Thanks for the chance, Heather
Gorgeous fabric! Probably would make a sweet little quilt for spring. Thanks for the the wonderful giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway, I would love to win. I do not have a blog, just six children that keep me plenty busy.
I love these fabrics, they look like they would blend perfectly with some I'm collecting for a Civil War quilt. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Thanks for the giveaway, it's so
generous.
