An accomplished painter, you'll learn her paintings are in over 300 rooms at the new Aria Hotel at City Center in Las Vegas as well as in numerous rooms at the Mirage Hotel.

Stay tuned because later this week she will have a guest tutorial on Sew4Home and then, at the end of the month, FreeSpirit will be giving away some goodies on the Sew4Home site including some of Jenean's new fabric Silent Cinema (due in April).

One Million Pillowcase Challenge - Get Involved!

At Westminster Lifestye Fabrics, we know Quilting Changes Everything. The good people at American Patchwork & Quilting know this too and have challenged quilters across the globe to help make a difference in their communities by simply making pillowcases; One Million to be exact.

Check your local quilt shop to see if it's participating in this fun, charitable cause and then get sewing. Clean out your stash, or buy some nice new FreeSpirit fabric. Designer Tula Pink decided to take her newest collection, Prince Charming (due out in May), and make one of the featured patterns on the One Million Pillowcase Challenge website.

Read Tula's story about making pillowcases at her local quilt shop and the joy kids get from cotton quilting fabric, thread and a bit of your time.

So we are late on announcing the winner but better late then never! So here you go! You will be receiving an e-mail from us. Congrats!
