The theme for Quilting Gallery’s hop is “Beat the Winter Blues.” Well, I don’t know of anything that beats Winter or any other kind of blues better than fabric! With that in mind, I’ve picked out this pretty purple print as a Winter Blues Buster (sorry the picture isn’t great.) There will be a yard of it for one lucky winner. All you have to do is comment and tell me your favorite blues buster. For a second chance to win a yard of this, come back on the 13th for my Nancy Drew day. I’m giving away a second yard of this fabric then. I’ll have Mr. Random pick a lucky winner from each set of comments when both the hops are over. Once you’ve left a comment, hop on over to The Quilting Gallery and see who else has fun blues busting prizes!
Happy quilting,
Beth

What a great purple print! It reminds me of the violets we get in spring. Nothing chases away the winter blues like seeing the first blooms of the season.
Oh beautiful fabric and with my favorite color being purple, I would be thrilled to be the lucky person to win.
Currently the best way I have to beat the winter blues is to go into the other room and grab my 1 yr old Granddaughter who is temporarily living with us along with her parents. She’s just the most adorable little thing ever. I had 3 boys so having Granddaughters is wonderful. And having one living with us is such fun. It’s time she and us will always remember I’m sure.
I like curling up on the couch and watching a movie. Thanks for chance to win. What pretty fabric.
Hello,

Best blues buster… quilting, cup of tea, music on the go & better yet when hubby and my son are home are we are all having a relaxing day.
Even one hour of sunshine on a cold day helps with the winter blues. If the weather fails me, then watching a TV programme set somewhere sunny will do the trick.
Good movee works with me) thank you for the giveaway!
Hot cocoa and a good book, if the children are not around, can really help with the Winter Blues. Otherwise, it’s sewing, sewing and more sewing! Thanks for the chance to win.
