Monday Mania!!! A great giveaway from Mr. February, Parson Gray

It's that time again.  Now that you've gotten to know Parson Gray a bit, it's time for you to tell us if Mr. February were to wander into your life, what would you do with it . . . oh I mean, the fabric of course. David is itching for you to see his fabrics in real life and to combine his totally on- trend colors into something spectacular. Now we want to give you the opportunity by giving away six one yard cuts of his new fabric Curious Nature to six random commentators.  Follow us and grab a friend or two to sign on. This is just the second of 12 different Designer Showcase features for this year, so much like the lottery you have to be in it to win it!  Tell us, by Sunday, February 19th, what would you do with a little bit of Parson Gray . . . the fabric of course! Winners will be revealed here Monday, February 20.

    I spied a vintage quilt on eBay last night that I'd LOVE to replicate with some Parson Gray fabric. Big delicious half-square triangles.

    What great fabric for a man's quilt. I would donate the fabric (if I win) to my group, World of Charity Stitching, where we make lap quilts for senior citizens.
    Thanks for a chance to win.
