And the winner is...

We're delighted to finally be able to announce the winner of our mini quilt giveaway! The winner, selected randomly by the lovely Random Picker tool, is Darla Pittman at The Needle Nerd. You can check out her blog here.

Congratulations, Darla! And a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the giveaway. Stay tuned for even more upcoming freebies, goodies, and other things that end in -ies.

This week we're focused on putting up some new listings in the Etsy shop, doing a little product testing for the new line of cat toys (it's hard work, or play, but someone's gotta do it), and also crossing our fingers that we'll be among the November vendors at the First Friday Indie Market in Greensboro.

And hey, we keep making new indie-craft friends on Twitter... so many that we've started a couple of Twitter lists to keep track of them all. Leave a comment if you'd like to be added.

Last Day for the Quilt Giveaway

Well, the trip to see the folks was lovely. The leaves were just starting to turn and the weather was even more autumnal than at home, if that's possible.  Awaiting for me at home were some of the mini-quilts we designed and my grandmother has been finishing. I hope to have pictures of them posted this weekend, so you can see how cute they are. (I also got a glimpse of the larger Crib-sized quilts and can't wait to share those with you.)

In the mean time, don't forget, this is the last day for the mini-quilt/receiving blanket giveaway.  You can fill out the entry, or just post a comment and we'll enter you automatically (open to U.S. residents only).  You have until midnight ET tonight to enter (no pressure).  We'll choose a winner via the randomizer this weekend and send out an email to the winner by Monday.

Grand Re-Opening!

Hard to believe it's October 1st already. What a crazy-fast month September was. But now that we're here, it's official, the Etsy store is open! Woo Hoo! And to celebrate, we're leaving! (or at least I am, Tracy will still be manning the store front). I'm off to KC for the weekend to wish my Dad a happy 60th and collect some of those abstract/folk-art-inspired quilts that my Mom and Grandma have been constructing. Hopefully, when I return, we can get photos of the quilts uploaded for all to see and get them listed at the Defabricate Store.  Until then, enjoy the fall weekend, get out and support those artists if your town has a First Friday event, and maybe do a little window shopping over at Etsy.  And hey, if you like our store, let us know by giving us a heart. 


We have more products to come, including toys for the kittens (under our blossoming Defabricat line) and toys for the kidlins (no pithy name for that one, although I guess we could go with "Defabrikid," wuddya' think?). Naturally, if you have suggestions for us, go ahead and leave us a comment.


And don't forget about our Mini Quilt Giveaway - you could win a 30 inch square mini quilt/receiving blanket (worth $35). You have until NEXT Friday to sign up! (Good Luck!)


As Always, thanks for visiting.
We think you're great!
