*** This giveaway is now closed ***
Maybe the polka dots will brighten my day? Today is my last day at home with the girls - back to work tomorrow! Boo hoo. And since we don't have a nanny yet Hubby will be home with the girls. That somewhat eases the pain and makes the transition not so tough. Sort of.
Today is also wet, miserable, and cold. Snow was even falling at one point. To top it off, The Monster is sitting in the emergency room right now. She was bitten by something yesterday at the farm and her arm is swollen, red, and hard today. She's not in grave danger, but it sure looks ugly right now. Poor girl. What a way to spend a special day.
That's enough doom and gloom, on to the good stuff. I'm finally hosting a giveaway! To celebrate my return to work I thought I would try to share some cheer with the world. This is an 8-pack of cheery polka dots and liberal interpretations of polka-dots. Some are older and I'm not sure where they're from, but they make me smile. And there is some Amy Butler and Denyse Schmidt in there too. Each piece is more or less a fat quarter. I will send the winner of the giveaway the whole lot of them, and maybe a few other treats.To win, leave a comment on this post between now and May 24 at 8:00 pm MST. I will draw a random number to determine the winner. Winner will be informed that night. Make sure I can contact you by email.
This week will be more than a bit crazy, so I won't be posting. But stay tuned for next week, I have a few quilts to share.
Update:
The Monster did indeed have a bad infection from a venomous spider bite! I didn't even know there were venomous spiders in Alberta. But after three days of IV antibiotics she is much better. Not that this slowed her down one bit. Me, on the other hand, I'm exhausted. Work was crazy and the week was stressful. I will be handstitching a binding tonight and watching crappy TV.

Oh yum! I really like the third one from the top. :)
fun! I like the red one and the red/green one.
Oooh - I need some cheering up to. Still have that nagging pain in my right foot (nerve cut) and now my mum is not feeling well for the past few days.
I adore polka dots!
Hope your little girl is okay. Love your collection of fabric.
I really like the blue with white rectangle insets.
Hi there! I came across your blog the other day and was very inspired. Your quilts are great :) Not to mention we are from the same neck of the woods. Hope your little one feels better soon :( Would love to win those polka dots!
Funny I almost wrote the same thing as someone else. Love polka dots! I've been collecting for a while in hopes to make a quilt of happy dottiness! Good luck with work and I hope you can find a great nanny.
So sorry to hear you have to go back to work...I'm thankful every day that I still get to stay home. For now.
The dots are so cherry and we could use some of that at our house!
Good luck tomorrow.
I love spots. Not fair you have to go back to work.
Ooh, I love polka dots. :) Good luck @ work
You poor dear! Going back to work - is it the end of maternity? I hope your Monster's arm is alright soon.

Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!
So sorry to hear you have to go back to work... what a bummer. Thanks for the generous giveaway though - I do love polka dots!
What fun looking fabrics. Waaay out of my regular style but hey I'm always open to trying something new.
It's my hubbies birthday on the 24th. can I get two tries ?
Hope your daughter recovers well from the bite and that work works out well for you.
What great fabrics!
Good luck with the transition back to work and hope your daughter is feeling better. The fabrics are definitely happy.
Wow...i love these fabrics...so yummy!! i hope you little monster feels better soon...good luck with going back to work.
All the fabrics make me smile. I hope your little one is feeling better soon.
Good luck going back to work! I LOVE all those fabrics! Do you ship to the U.S.?
(I'm also in the USA)
I so need this fabric. All my local quilt stores apparently are boycotting polka dots and it's driving me insane. I just want dots!
Beautiful fabric :)
I just found your blog yesterday and I love it! Your Key Lime Pie quilt is fabulous. Hope your day is a great one back at work.
All the best going back to work. You'll settle right in, I'm sure.
The polka dots are charming!
Polka dots always cheer me up!
Hope your back to work transition goes smoothly and that your little one feels all better soon!
Good luck returning to work!
The dots are soo summery looking- maybe they would warm up these very fall like days we've been having!
Love the polka dots...they do tend to make one smile! I can understand your being sad...I had to go back to work when my children were little...now my "baby" is off to college in the fall! Best of luck and enjoy and treasure the time you do get to spend together!
LOVE dots! My favorite is the yellow/gray.
what a GENEROUS giveaway! i hope that the monster is doing ok. and hope your return to work goes well.
You're so generous and let's hope something gorgeous comes from this gift!
hope the little one gets better soon,

i love polka dots on anything and everything! yay!!
Oh! I've been dreading the day you have to go back to work. Good for you for making the best of it! I'd say giving away fabric is one heck of a way to make the best of it! Count me in. You are a generous soul. Hope this week goes well for you and that your little one's arm is better soon!
Aww... the first day will be tough, and then it gets easier. This job thing better not interfere with your quilting. LOL!
Polka dots always make me smile, I wonder why people feel that way?
Thanks for the giveaway!
Andrea
I hope your little one is doing better. Spider bite? Yuck!
I also hope you get some spring weather soon! It was almost 90 degrees F in Omaha yesterday and it is simply too early in the year for it to be that warm. I'd gladly send you 30 F of those degrees (too lazy to look up conversion to C).
Good luck back at work.
Love the fabrics!
How could polka dots not cheer you up! I blog hopped (don't remember how exactly) over here from Sew Mama Sew.
Good Luck at work:D
Great give-away!
Hugs for returning to work! I love all of that fabric--polka dots are the best!
I hope your little one is feeling much better. Good luck with returning to work, hope you still have time for you. Thanks for having a wonderful giveaway, count me in, would love to make a quilt with those gorgeous fabbies. Happy Stitching
What a lovely giveaway - I'm trying to expand my dot stash! Glad that the little one is feeling better too - but how icky for her!
Glad to hear your little monster will be alright. The polka dots are fabulous, count me in!
Poor little monkey! Glad to hear she is alright.
Great fabric - don't know how you can part with it all!

Ooh, you poor thing. Good luck with the return to work. Always hard for me - even with a babysitter, I still miss them. Urg.
I would love me some polkadots! Hope I have a fighting chance...
Hm, come to think of it, this helps me because this post was done on my birthday! May 18.
Hope the monster is much better. My little one is recovering from a fall and a nosebleed.
Oh, those are beautiful fabrics, and I'm glad to hear your girl is okay after the bite!
Cheers,
Christine
I hope your daughter is feeling better!
I love polka dots and I am currently collecting fabric for a polka dot quilt!
i love polka dots. thanks for hosting this giveaway.
I hope your girl is well on the way to being much better by now!!! A spider bite!!! That's what my bad dreams are made of!!!!
So sorry to hear about the little monster. A spider bit my foot once and swelled up my big toe. Never realized how differently you walk when your toes are not in tip top shape until that happened. Glad she's feeling better. Sad to be going back to work isn't it? But it does make things a little better to know they'll be home with daddy.
~Tootles for now!
thanks for sharing some cheer! these polka dots are really fun! I'm crossing my fingers! and toes!
oh yucky spider bites! Cool polka dots. I would love to add these to my stash and maybe a WIP (or five)!
Thank you for being so generous! Hope the little one is better soon.
i play !!!
Oh, how awful! I hope your little one is feeling better and makes a speedy recovery. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Yeah!!! I love all of the fabric that you shown. Thank you so much!!
Love the fabric. I want to make my first quilt this year so some more fabric would be great.
I love polka dots! Thanks for the give away!

So sorry about your little one!
Ooh, I loove polka dots! I am so sorry about your daughter's infection. Hope she isn't too traumatized over it.
