What a party!
Thanks everyone for joining our Quilting Gallery blog hop – I’ve really enjoyed reading your comments. I also spent some time hopping to some of the other 200 quilting blogs – hope you did too!
Preferences between spring and summer were fairly even – but I’d give spring a bit of a lead! We have 143 entries. Using Random.org, #79 is the winner. Congratulations Pat S!
I’ll be in touch to get your mailing address so we can send along your bali pop.
I hope if spring hasn’t arrived in your part of the world, it comes soon. We’re still feeling some cold here, although the days are definitely longer and the snow is melting. Nice weather can’t be too far behind.
******************************************
It’s definitely party time, and we’re joining in with Michele at the Quilting Gallery for her blog hop party!
As winter comes to an end, we need warm, bright and cheery colours to march us into spring. What better way to think tropics, warm breezes, ocean and fun in the sun than one of Hoffman’s bali pops!
We’re giving away one Wild Berry Bali Pop for Hoffman Fabrics. That’s 40, 2.5″ inch batik strips. [Entries only open to those living in Canada or the U.S.]
For a chance to win you need to:
- Sign up for our newsletter, Flare Fabrics eNEWS (click on Flare Fabrics eNEWs) OR like us on Facebook OR subscribe to this blog AND
- Post a comment here telling us, so we can enter your name in the draw. [and if you want to tell us if you prefer spring or summer, so much the bettter!]
If you’re already a member of the Flare Fabrics community – you follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or receive our newsletter — just tell us and your entry will definitely be included.
You’ll find a complete list of bloggers participating in the Quilting Gallery hop party here. The party starts today, Friday, March 8 and we’ll leave it open until Sunday, March 17.
Good luck and enjoy the party!

Thanks for offering such great fabrics. I love the wild berry colors. I think I prefer spring, when everything is turning green and starting to grow, the violets and lilacs are blooming and the weather is mild. Our summers are hot and unpleasant. I have joined your newsletter, and liked your facebook page.

I just signed up to become a follower. Thanks for offering this fantastic giveaway.
i am a new follower. I love spring! How can anyone not appreciate the flowers, watching the world turn green again and all the song birds!!! babscorbitt@gmail.com
Liked you on FB and look forward to updates! Very much a spring girl. Even as a kid I didn’t love summer. I have always worked best in a scheduled environment and summer will forever throw me off completely. I also truly despise temps above 85. There ARE a few aspects of summer that I enjoy, but overall I do like the fresh air and longer days and flowers and kids still in school and dance recitals and plays and all of spring much better!
I liked you on facebook under the name nancy sue bevis phillips. I’m a spring person, so I wish spring lasted twice as long
