DAY 2 - 5 Days x 5 Giveaways = 25 Chances to WIN!

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. Winners will be announced tomorrow Tuesday February 25,2014!
Good Luck Everyone!

Wowzers yall! You guys are really rockin' this party! It is so fun to see everyone visiting around and making new friends to follow!
 So let's just jump right into Day 2! Today's sponsor is The Fat Quarter Shop! The Fat Quarter Shop was one of the very first online Quilting Weight Fabric stores that I found and the very first Quilt Along that I joined. I jumped right into "The Back to School with Pam Kitty Love Civil War Sampler" quilt along that they were just getting started with. Here is my quilt top from that first Quilt Along!
 Yall this was SO MUCH FUN! And the fabrics are just too stinkin' cute! Being my first quilt along I wasn't sure what to expect. I was really afraid I couldn't keep up. But I had so darn much fun,that I was anxiously waiting each month for the day to roll around to post my next block. Yep I was very eager to learn! And I did learn so much.

 We used Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler Book, which is now on sale at the Fat Quarter Shop. Although we used the book as a guideline, we still had the freedom to make whichever blocks from the book that we wanted and how we used the fabric in the blocks. If you have ever been hesitant about joining a Quilt Along, don't be, just jump right in. Everyone at the Fat Quarter Shop is so supportive and ready to help if you have questions. Plus I made alot of new friends! Here is a link to some of their Blocks of the Month and also they are having a Wishes Quilt Along. All proceeds will benefit the Make A Wish Foundation! You can visit the Wishes Quilt Along page to download the free patterns and watch the video tutorials! 
 When I contacted the Fat Quarter Shop about sponsoring a day in my 5 Days - 5 Giveaways they didn't hesitate to say "Yes! We would love to offer something to your readers!" . They are so generous! So here is today's Giftaway courtesy of the Fat Quarter Shop!

Oh my goodness yall! A Mirabelle 40 pc Fat Quarter Bundle! by Fig Tree &Co. This is absolutely gorgeous! and 40 fat Quarters! That is a $124.99 retail value! I love these colors. And Fig Tree & Co is one of my all time favorite designers. You can follow this link to see all the fabrics included. Thank you Fat Quarter Shop for being so generous! You guys are awesome!
