I have been in touch so please reply and we can arrange your prizes!


That is the final giveaway and theme for le challenge. 

We hope you will continue to support our fabulous sponsors Fat Quarter Shop, who have been with us for three years, and Eco Fabric Store / Fibers to Fabric. These shops have supported our blog by kindly providing prizes for you each month. We are very grateful!

Unfortunately Nat and myself are consumed with other projects and life goings-on so we cannot commit to this blog any more. We have really enjoyed creating so many fun themes and seeing all the amazing projects and interpretations you come up with each time.

Thank you so much for participating and inspiring us!

We are happy to return and always enjoy seeing your projects. Nat and I have worked hard creating our own projects for le challenge each month and while we plan to continue there have been personal changes and we both have lots of other commitments in our lives. After discussing it we agreed that we will take some of the pressure off ourselves by perhaps not always having our own projects to link up, we hope you understand and will continue to be inspired to take on the challenge!

And the winner is...


Debbie who made an insulated bag for her husband - featuring my son's favourite heroes (at the moment) - the ninja turtles! 

Happy new year everyone!
