\"giveaway-greenish1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning, friends! I made it! I turned in my illustrations (sans cover) yesterday evening, and I feel like I’ve completed the Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert.\u00a0A 6-day, 160-mile marathon is something I doubt I’ll ever be able to do since I can barely jog three miles, but I’m going to venture that the sense of relief and accomplishment I’m enjoying is no less than an ultra marathoner’s.<\/p>\n

The sewing area has been sorely neglected these last few days, so I’ve got zilch completed projects to share with you. But, as promised, I’m continuing with my de-stashing and have some fabric to give away.<\/p>\n

This mushroom fabric is so darling, isn’t it? I don’t know why, but it hasn’t inspired me to use it for any patterns. It’s a Jay McCarroll for Free Spirit fabric with a lovely neutral grey background and almost neon green shrooms.<\/p>\n

The green diamonds are crisp and modern and wholly versatile. The selvage tells me that it’s “Summer House” by Lily Ashbury for Moda.<\/p>\n

\"giveaway-greenish2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I seem to only get fabric in 1.5 yard cuts, and that’s what these two are. They’re both quilting cotton, but could be used for apparel too.<\/p>\n

Okay. I’m trying to think of a question but my brain is tofu at this moment, and the only query that popped into my head is about serendipity: “What’s the weirdest\/best coincidence that’s happened in your life?” I have so many, but one of the most memorable is that when I lived in San Francisco in my twenties, I rented this sweet studio apartment in Russian Hill. It was a charming Edwardian building and it was every bit my dream apartment. After a year and a half of living there, I bumped into a high school friend on my street one day. She was a year ahead of me and we weren’t super close, but we had been gymnastics teammates (a mercifully short but ludicrously embarrassing phase in my high school career), and practicing in leotards together forges a special bond. Running into her alone would have been an amazing coincidence, but it turned out that she’d been my downstairs neighbor in the same building for 18 months, and we had no clue! We hung out together a lot more after that, but weird, right?<\/p>\n

To enter the giveaway, please answer the question, and I will leave the giveaway open until Thursday, June 5th and announce the winner the next day. International entries are welcome and good luck!! I’m off to recuperate from and celebrate my major book milestone…<\/p>\n
