WOW, what a week this has been! Things have been going amazing-crazy over here. I hope you’ve had a chance to enter the 11 giveaways posted last week. I am so grateful to all the shops that have provided them! (P.S. You can still enter all the giveaways until Monday 20th at midnight EST!)
Thanks so much for all of your amazing comments and well-wishes! I was going to try to respond to them personally, and realized it would likely take me a week.
Please know you are deeply appreciated and that I read each and every comment – always! (Also, I now know you have impeccable taste in fabric… and what fabrics I could get you for your birthday!)
Today is like a Thread Riding Hood “Black Friday Weekend”! And, the 18th also happens to be my 36th birthday! So… your mission is to go buy some fabric for yourself, it’s your Birthday Party Take-Home goodie bag!
Discounts are valid TWO DAYS ONLY – July 18-19, 2015.
Please take time to thank these Canadian Shops for providing generous discounts for you to use. A great place to leave a “Thank You” is in their Notes section when you fill in the check out form for the shop. There are so many amazing deals! Have so much fun shopping! (P.S. Most of these shops ship internationally!)

The last giveaway this week (but not least!) is from Fishskin Fabric. This shop is a new sponsor of Thread Riding Hood and I’m excited to interview them later this year!
Jill’s Sewing Tip: I have a scrap piece of fabric that I ALWAYS start sewing on before I start stitching – to prevent that snarl of stitches underneath your work or even worse – the edge being eaten by your machine!

Giveaway No. 10! Don’t miss your chance to enter to win all of the giveaways! There have been 2 giveaways each day this week and there will be 3 today! (Find out more or Link to all of the posted giveaways)
Today’s second giveaway is from Canadian National Fabric. I was really excited to find more fabric for my “Little Red” collection from them earlier this year!
“We offer $5 flat rate shipping across Canada & Free Shipping on orders over $50 (before taxes). Find out more!” ~ Canadian National Fabric
Bebe’s Sewing Tip: The majority of my quilts come from patterns I find in magazines or books. When I’m working on a pattern from a magazine (or book) I find it a pain to have to keep looking back and forth at a magazine/book that’s sitting on a table. I’m always losing my spot on the page or the page flips. Depending on how many different cuts I have to make I have two things that help me.
1) I use a recipe book holder to hold my magazine/book while I’m working. This stops the pages from flipping and I find it easier to look at instructions when they are upright. I also use those reusable “sign here” labels that are used for documents to keep my place on the page. As I complete a cut I move the arrow to the next one.
2) Depending on how many different cuts I have to do sometimes I transfer the cutting instructions onto a dry erase board and erase as I do the cuts.
In this giveaway, two fortunate readers will win a $25 Gift Certificate (CDN funds) to Canadian National Fabric!

Giveaway No. 8! Don’t forget to come back, there will be 2 prizes each day this week and 3 on Friday! (Find out more or Link to all of the giveaways)
This giveaway is from Seam Allowance. This shop was interviewed here just a few months ago, and they have a beautifully curated collection of fabric!
“I love carrying fabrics that have usually been hard to find in Canadian shops. It makes me so happy when a customer tells me how happy they are to finally find a Canadian shop that carries something they were looking for. The struggle is real!” ~ Seam Allowance
Nikki’s Sewing Tip: My favorite sewing tip, although technically not a “tip”, is to listen to audio books while you sew. I’ve listened to so many great books (everyone, you HAVE to listen to The Girl With All the Gifts) while sewing, and it makes sewing twice as much fun!
Today’s giveaway is 4 half-yards of gorgeous fabric! LOVE these colours together.

Giveaway No. 7! Don’t forget to come back, there will be 2 prizes each day this week and 3 on Friday! (Find out more or Link to all of the giveaways)
Today’s giveaway is from Fabric Please! (and she’s offering the week’s largest giveaway – 3 prizes for 3 different winners!). I got to meet Rita from Fabric Please! at Creativ Festival this year and I just used my blogger bundle to finally make myself a Diamond String throw pillow.
“Jardin de Provence has arrived! Fabric Please! now carries the entire line designed by Daphne B. for Windham Fabrics. We are also offering the Moccasin BOM by GenX Quilters! Buy the pattern as a whole or do the Block of the Month subscription! ” ~ Fabric Please!
Rita’s Sewing Tip: Maintenance is key – sewing machine maintenance (cleaning, change needles), personal maintenance (Hydrate – drink water, move/stretch often), tool maintenance (change rotary blades). The maker is only as good as his tools! They need not be expensive – just in good working order.
Today’s giveaway will have 3 different winners! Each winner will win a random pick of one of these Canadian designed and made Cantik Batik 2 1/2″ Precut Rolls – #1: Christmas Traditions, #2: Winter Solstice, #3: Evening Shadows.
