What a week!

This week has been a busy one for the designers and fabric royalty. I really missed jaybirds weekly giveaway line up. So when I heard about these blogs, I thought I would share :-)

traceyjay quilts is auctioning off a beautiful "Garden Stars and Stripes" tablerunner to benefit Operation Family Fund. An organization whose mission (from their website) is to "assist the injured and families of the those who have been injured or killed as a part of the Global War on Terrorism, whether domestic or abroad, military or civilian, with financial grants for transitioning to their new circumstances and achieving financial self-sufficiency". Tracey is also having a giveaway that is sponsored by Burgundy Buttons. You can sign up here.

And while we're at it, my friend Pat over at Quilting Can Be Fun! is also hosting a Yard Sale Giveaway. It's really a fun giveaway and Pat always has some great quilting insights. Be sure to stop over and sign up.

You can also find a very lovely giveaway over at Jenny of Elefantz! Jenny is an incredible designer from Australia, and always has the most beautiful patterns available. Now if you sign up for Jenny's giveaway, mention that Happy Cottage Quilter sent you! I've always enjoyed getting Frequent Flyer miles ;-) Check it out!

AND check out "What's in the Bag" at Stash Manicure! If you are not following this blog, you are missing out on some great stash busting ideas.

Happy Quilting!
