Ace Hardware/Hurst....Fabric??

We went to my Dad's cabin in Utah last week and I was allowed to hit one fabric shop in St. George.  I picked the Ace Hardware/Hurst General Store and scored big time!!  They have all the modern fabrics that are sold in regular quilt shops...Riley Blake, some Moda, Lakehouse Dry Goods, Dr. Seuss, tons of flannel, plaids, dots, stripes....and on and on.  But they also have a sale section loaded with flat folds.  Apparently, when they are ready to clearance fabric, they unroll it off the bolt and stack it on a table.  It is sort of like a treasure hunt...but that is where I found lots and lots of Pam Kitty fabric.  Forty yards to be exact!

I thought that I would share my good fortune with you folks (all five of you) by hosting a giveaway.  No reason....I noticed that there were lots of giveaways going on in blogland and I thought it would be nice for me get in on the action....So here it is, 13 cuts of assorted Pam Kitty fabrics each measuring over 13" so that they could be subcut into five 2.5" strips.  Over four yards of fabric!  And one of my patterns...either Baby Butterflies or Extra Credit--both are precut friendly patterns.


You don't have to do anything special to win...just leave a comment telling me which pattern you would prefer and I'll use the random number generator to pick a winner Wednesday, July 24th at 8 pm Pacific Time.  Good luck to you all!

    Which pattern?! The decisions! Okay, you twisted my arm: Baby Butterflies. I bet you have more than five readers. The rest are just shy ;)

    40 yards! That must have been so fun! I love Pam Kitty. Such a great mix of vintage and modern.
    Since I have the other one, baby butterflies would be my choice!

    My husband would have died seeing me lug that big sack out of the store!! Lucky you! I think the fabric would look really cute in Baby Butterflies.

    Extra Credit looks like fun. As a math major i think it sounds like an extra problem to solve to boost a grade.

    Wow, I wish I was close to that store. 40 yards! I love both of your patterns. But I would pick the Baby Butterflies. I have a new granddaughter. That would be a great quilt for her. Thank you for the give away!

    How fun to make such a great find!! And in a hardware store, too .. I guess something for the guys and gals in the same place. I love PK fabrics and they would look great in the Baby Butterfly pattern .. my choice of the two. Thanks for sharing your bounty.

    What a fun shopping trip! I just returned from vacation & couldn't squeeze in a single fabric stop (silly family picked lunch over fabric shopping). I'd love to try out the Extra Credit pattern. Thanks for the opportunity.
