We're not faithful. There. We said it.

Not to this blog of late, that's for sure. A crazy summer is over and and we've committed to pay more attention here. There's a line in a Lyle Lovett song that says, "she wasn't good but she had good intentions." That kinda covers it.

And Becca, that vixen, has been spending time as a Farmer's Wife in addition to hanging with her dear hubby of 20+ years. Now, if she were truly committed to the Farmer, she'd be showing us over 30 blocks but these 17 are just so gorgeous that we can forgive her unfaithfulness.

In honor of these beauties, we're again offering our Farmer's Wife Scrap Packs in the shop. These are 10 ounces of scraps, the equivalent of about 2 yards of fabric, cut in various sized squares, rectangles and a few strips. There are some classic prints and some of our latest arrivals. If there's a scrappy project in your future, you'll want to play with these. But don't take our word for it. This is a sampling of what our customers say about our scrap packs.

"This was a fantastic bundle and one of my all-time favorite fabric purchases! I've been using it up bit by bit as I make my way through the Farmer's Wife blocks!"

"This is just the best scrap pack ever! All the fabrics Sew Fresh Fabrics carries are super cute and high quality, and this scrap pack is a sampling of a lot of those. I'm just so happy with it!"

Have patience with us as we work through our commitment issues. Thanks.

Zen Chic Pattern Winners!

The almighty algorithm at Random.org has chosen #6 and #30 as winners in the Zen Chic giveaway! (Whoever responds first gets dibs on the pattern of their choice. Sorry to be a stinker. Mr. Random is too impartial.)

#6 is Sequana ...

I love that Stony Snippets quilt pattern. However, I like anything she has. What a great new entry into the fabric design world. thx for the chance to win.

#30 is Tamie said...

My browser won't play either but I'll try my computer later. I love the Swiss bag in orange too.

We're sending off emails to you both, but feel free to contact us! Happy 4th of July!

We'd like to thank Brigitte Heitland for giving the patterns to us for the giveaway. We're thrilled with her ventures into the fabric world and look forward to buying her fabrics on the bolt very soon!!

Is it July already?

Wow, where did half the year go? Yikes! Bear with us for a few rambling notes from the last six months. *(If you stay with us til the end of this post, there's a special waiting.)

• SFF is growing thanks to our great customers and partners! You guys are awesome and make our job so much fun every day! It's good to be surrounded by fabri-holics like ourselves.

• Our first trip to Quilt Market was amazing. We learned a lot, made some great finds and are more excited than ever to continue to bring you the bestest and freshest collection of fabric ever. Watch out Houston!

• We have been working on the shop sections to make it easier to navigate 60+ pages of fabric. There is now a "New Arrivals" section for the stalkers. We know you're out there and we love you for it. :) Etsy's "newly listed" button also includes re-lists so it's not exactly "what's new". Now you can find it by section. We also have sections for Organics, Blenders and Basics, Solids and a category that will be growing significantly in the next several weeks and months... "Japanese Fabrics." We'll be getting in new lines from Daiwabo, Hokkoh, Yuwa and Echino for starters.

• Round 3 of the Scrap Quilting Bee is getting under way, this one for Margaret's Hope Chest. Two quilts for Project Linus have been completed and the quilt for the ALS project is almost in the hands of a Fairy Godmother for completion. We've been behind on photos but promise that we haven't forgotten and will update again soon.

As a mid-year, Fourth of July (for our US readers) celebration, we are offering our $2.50 US/$5 Canada /$7 International flat rate shipping special this weekend (ends Monday 7/4)! We will refund by PayPal after purchase.

Many, many thanks for your continued support.

Happy Sewing!
Peg and Becca
