The swirling skirts, foot tapping rhythms, and joyful movement of New
England contra dancing inspire Shelburne Falls, Denyse Schmidt's latest fabric
collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics.
At once nostalgic and thoroughly new, Shelburne Falls embodies the
old-fashioned courtliness and small town charm of American Folk dance.
Fresh and vintage at the same time.
The colors are so nice together and unexpected.
We have precuts in the shop.
This is the first time I've seen FreeSpirit do 10 inch squares!
What do you think they call them??
Stackers?
Layer Cakes?
Nope, they are called
10" charm packs :)
Why muddy the water -- that's a great description.
Here is a link to the free PDF pattern from Denyse
showcases the 10" Charms.
Our giveaway today is a Shelburne Falls 5" charm pack.
Update: Congrats to Jocelyn!
You are the winner!!
Random drawing later tonight or Friday :).
Also just arrived is

I love valentines day! It's the one day I can tell my boys mushy gushy things without them getting too annoyed with me ��
ReplyDeleteIt is such a shame that Valentines day falls in Lent, no big extravagant meal with Bubbly for us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Heart Day y'all!! I'm off to eat chocolate because society says I should on Valentine's Day - and I love when society makes me eat chocolate! GORGEOUS colours - yummy fabric!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to everybody - might get even sweeter with this great giveaway!

ReplyDeleteHappy St Valentines... Making this comment short and sweet as I am off to buy groceries for a romantic dinner tonight! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI once went on an accidental Valentines day date. A friend asked me if I wanted to go out after class. I thought he meant go out to have a beer as friends. I showed up to class in a sweatshirt and boots bc there was a snowstorm and he showed up in a red button down shirt and khakis. Turns out it was a nice dinner, not a beer. It was awkward haha
ReplyDeleteFor Valentine's Day, DH fixed one of my bracelets that has been broken for months. Might not sound like much to you, but it means the world to me. Thanks for the chance to win this fabric.
ReplyDeleteVery nice give away.....Happy Valentines Day. I got beautiful flowers. Going to be a very nice day.
ReplyDeleteToday is Valentine's Day - but I think we should be loving one another all year round. =) Feel free to shower me with chocolates or flowers any other day too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great one....and thanks for a lovely giveaway.
Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays (despite so many people calling it commercial). I love on my boys every day, but it's so fun to make little Valentines together and just be super sweet to each other.
ReplyDelete36 years and my hubby is still the one that I love! Great holiday!
ReplyDeleteSorry Valentine's Day is not for me! Our wedding anniversary is on the 25th February and that actually means something to me so we celebrate that and not Valentine's Day! 29 years this year.
ReplyDeleteI love Valentines Day, way back when - my parents would have Valentines Day parties, my dad's birthday, and we would decorate, have lots of food and they would dance the night away.
ReplyDeleteI love Valentine's Day and all it stands for
ReplyDeleteI could do without the rampart commercialism but a day when we focus on our intimate relationships is important.
Roses are red,
ReplyDeleteViolets are blue,
Chocolate is awesome,
But fabric is too ;)
Valentine's Day is a special day to spend with your speical someone. Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteNothing special for Valentine's Day. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day! Thanks for the chance at this pretty fabric!
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm retired from public school education, I'll have to read "Roses are pink, Your Feet Really Stink" my favorite Valentine's Day read-aloud to my doxie Rusty. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day! I would much rather have more fabric than flowers and candy any day! Would love to win this prize!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day - I told my husband not to buy any flowers today, but I said floral fabric would be okay ;-)
ReplyDeletenothing better than celebrating Valentines day at school with a bunch of 5 year olds! happy day to you!
ReplyDeleteEvery year my colleague reads our grade 7 and 8 students a story about "warm fuzzies" and how giving away a kind act makes both people feel good! Then they make their own fuzzies - pompons with googley eyes. A great way to celebrate friends and reduce the "dating" stress among our too young 12-13 year olds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
Happy Valentine's Day. I got roses and a box of Fannie Mae Candy.
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day always has been one of my favorite holidays -- I like the excuse to not just tell all of my loved ones that I love them, but to do fun little sweet things for them! (And chocolate and champaign -- staples of my Valentine's Day -- never hurt either!)
ReplyDeleteDH did a great job today for Valentine's Day.. two HUGE bags of chocolate greeted me on the kitchen table with balloons.. HUGE bags..did I say HUGE?? LOL.. he has me pegged!!
ReplyDeleteLove chocolates on Valentine's Day. Have a wonderful day��
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about a holiday that is about love, decorated in primarily red and pink and heart-shaped things, and revolves around sweets?!? I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteWe're not big on Valentine's Day here, but we'll be celebrating our wedding anniversary next week. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove, chocolates and lots of kisses! Happy Valentine's Day :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day! I love hearts, chocolate, cheesecake and fabric.
ReplyDeleteDH has asked me to be his valentine again this year and I love him more than ever. Lovely fabric.
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day was the birthday of my husband's Grandma T. that we all loved very much. In fact, she was born and passed away on Valentine's Day. She passed away two years ago at the age of 94. She was a very special lady who is greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteI've visited a friend this afternoon and her children presented me with a gift. So sweet of her.
ReplyDeleteValentines Day - I heard it was the day to watch out for little chubby kids out shooting arrows!
ReplyDeleteFun collection! I started off my V-day with scones my hubby bought last night while getting groceries to make dinner for me today! Love that guy!
ReplyDeleteTook my son to his soon to be fiance's with a bouquet of roses, a huge card and three chocolate roses for her roommates. I took my hubby breakfast at his office and a box of chocolate truffles for a snack through the day. I bought my three boys a small treat of a pack of two chocolate covered oreos covered in pin, gold and red sprinkles!
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day is great!
I love Valentines Day! It brings back so many memories of red construction paper and paper doily projects that I did with my children when they were little. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. What fun fabric!
ReplyDeleteI usually bring chocs for my friends on Valentine Day:) Happy Vday everyone!:D
ReplyDeleteI love this collection! My husband gave me a sweet candle set. He is really thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteOur tradition has evolved so the kids get a bit of candy, hubby makes me something in paper, and I make something for him in fabric. It works out very nicely when you know what to do for your honey!
ReplyDeleteIt can either be a happy day or a disappointing day....love Shelboure Falls, but I haven't even sewn with Chicopee yet, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteA day to be with your love ones and bring back the memories of your first love:)
ReplyDeleteWe planned a romantic dinner without realizing it! hahahaha :D
ReplyDeleteNo significant other, but instead, I bake something special and take it to my Dad and Grandma. <3
ReplyDeleteI enjoy valentines day. Sometimes it is important to have a reminder to appreciate the loved ones in your life, family, friends and significant others (even if the day is rather commercialized). Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy valentines. Linda gerig
ReplyDeleteLove is in the air always with me and Tom and it feels so good, love this time of year. Happy Valentines Day to you and all.
ReplyDeleteLast Valentine's day I watched my husband pull out of the driveway with a U-Haul headed to Valparaiso, IN. I was to follow in April, it was a very heartwrenching day. God had other plans for our lives and he is back, we have moved just 30 miles up the road :)... So today I get to hug, and kiss, and have dinner, and snuggle with my sweetheart! Happy Happy Valentine's Day!

I really enjoy Valentines Day but remember all the lonely people you see today and wish them a Happy Valentines Day so they don't feel so alone.
ReplyDeleteI have the prettiest tulips on my desk today, sent by people I love so much. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI love valentines day because it reminds me how incredibly lucky I am to have so much love in my life :-)
ReplyDeletePink & Red makes me feel so happy... I've loved seing all the pretty projects all over BlogLand!
ReplyDeleteI remember giving Valentines to friends back in the day. We did it "ring and run" style.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's day! Yay chocolate for everyone!

ReplyDeleteValentines Day is twice as nice for me,as it is also my Wedding Anniversary!! Hope you enjoy your Valentines Day :0)
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Valentine's Day - my husband insists that he's nice to me every day of the year (he actually is, lol) so he doesn't care about the "special" days ;) I did get him to understand that my birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas are "do something OR ELSE!" days, so I let the rest slide, especially since he's always willing to drive me to the States for a Joanns run when I feel the urge, lol!
ReplyDeletehave no valentine, just good, sweet memories of the one i had for so many, many good years. enjoyed reading the replies to your valentine's coments.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to All....I love this day....we are going to a
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day dance at our local Moose.....thank you for the giveaway.....
Today while I was working my husband surprised me with a card and roses and tonight we are going out to eat just the two of us!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a sweetie- not only did he bring me chocolate and flowers today at work but he brought flowers to all the women in our office. Happy Valentines Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's day to everyone! We don´t celebrate it!
ReplyDeleteI made cinnamon sugar popcorn for my kids' teachers for Valentines Day and that's about as far as it goes today. Me and the hubs don't celebrate too much.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day! How sweet Shelburne Falls is!! :) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI like Valentine's Day. It's a good excuse to eat as much chocolate as I want!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day early by having dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant last night. Have a happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteThis Valentine's Day I spent visiting my sweet 86 year old mother. We went to a luncheon at her church today and had a wonderful lunch and fellowship with some of her lady friends.
ReplyDeleteI love my mom and am so thankful for her.
Thanks for the giveaway! I love the look of that fabric.
HI! ENJOY YOUR VALENTINES DAY!

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday at our favourite restaurant because he has to work this afternoon and evening. We had a lovely lunch and enjoyed each other's company. Thanks for this week's giveaway, Shelburne Falls looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this day with my little valentines., oh and I got a surprise valentine kiwi (the fruit) today. Yep my husband is strange but wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe just have a romantic Valentine's dinner at our favorite restaurant.
ReplyDeleteNo plans for us today, but hoping to make up for it with dinner out this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteToday is my husband and my 10th wedding anniversary, and we both took the day off just to be together. No big plans, as we already went out last weekend, but it's been a great day so far!
ReplyDeleteValentine's day, when I eat way too much chocolate, and try to reign in the kids on their sugar high. LOL
ReplyDeleteI just received beautiful flowers from my honey.
ReplyDeleteIt is valentines day today.
ReplyDeletemy baby got me the greatest card and some chocolate
ReplyDeleteHappy VDay to all! Love yourself and all the other love will come to you.
ReplyDeleteGave up candy for lent so candy for me today. Waiting to eat at Cracker Barrel along with a 100 other people.
ReplyDeletelsandes@comcast.net
I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day, over priced flowers and candy just aren't for me. My husband is really good at randomly doing nice things.
ReplyDeleteI made my kids some cute little tokens of love and my husband the kids and I are having a quiet little dinner at home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Chance :)
Corrie, we celebrate valentines everyday. I am lucky to me married to my soul mate. Thanknyou for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteMy special guy braved Pike place market to gather an assortment of caramels (my favorite!!!) for me! Thank you for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day is just a day, the sentiment of which we try to carry throughout the year, instead of trying to pack it all in one day. Mind you--we've been together for 36 Valentine's Days, so we've had some great, some not so great.
:o)

What a great giveaway! My husband remembered today with a card and some chocolate. We'll be going out for dinner tomorrow night and then a small surprise. He says it will be something that we haven't done in 30 years- not sure whether to be happy or afraid. haha!! We've been married for almost 35 years and he still remembers the important days:). I definitely have a keeper!:)
ReplyDeleteI love Valentine's Day as it's a good excuse to eat more chocolate!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful line!! valentine's day. at work today, a bunch of us were talking about how impractical it was for our husbands to be giving us roses, when in fact we really wanted X instead - oven fixed, an immersion blender, fabric (!). so i come home and my husband has bought me roses. and i love them. he didn't go all out, no - he bought short stemmed roses - in my favourite rose colour - yellow. and they are beautiful and they smell beautiful and they make me smile. Goes to show what we think we want and what makes us happy may not be the same thing.... Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day. I celebrated by watching the horror movie Valentines Day Massacre. Then I took a nap.
ReplyDeleteLove Valentine's Day and Quilt Taffy!
ReplyDeletec.teasley@yahoo.com
Usually it is a great surprise for me but this year we are doing it low key. We are going to see a movie and dinner this weekend. We are grandpuppy sitting for our son and daughter-in-law.
ReplyDeleteOne memorable Valentine's Day my husband hired a barbershop quartet to come and serenade me at the high school where I taught. They were wearing tuxs and gave me a red rose when they finished singing.
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful Valentine Day! I had dinner with my husband of almost 40 years...and a sewing evening with my girl friends; which was a blast!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway. I love this line. I came home to a Valentine's bag full of goodies from a friend who dropped it off on my porch while I was away at work. Made my day! :) She's always thinking of others & is a dear friend.
ReplyDeleteI love Valentine's and spending it with my honey of 30 years this year! Wonderful dinner and now relaxing as I catch up on your blog!
ReplyDeleteWe stayed home today for a low key Valentines Day because DH has a cold. We did have a nice dinner though, with scallops as the main course and red velvet cupcakes for dessert.
ReplyDeleteThere is no going wrong with a holiday that features red, white, pink and LOVE!! Happy V Day! I can envision the Squre Dance Quilt pattern but using 5" charm packs...just plain sweet.
ReplyDeleteA fun Valentines Day. I got roses from my honey and I got to deliver flowers and a balloon to my college daughter that came from an unknown admirer.
ReplyDeleteWe made a delicious dinner - parmesan crusted steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and a salad..... yummy! Thanks for the chance to win!

It seemed waaay too pretty to eat, but we managed!!
Valentine's Day, I'm so over roses, but not fabric!
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day...ba, humbug...at least that is what my husband of 35 years says...has always said! I haven't "gotten" anything for Valentine's Day from "the man " in my life since I got married! Boyfriends always gave something! Oh well.. But my daughter gave me chocolates and a quilting magazine! That counts!
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day usually ends up being the day before I finally start my diet (again), and I can come down from my sugar high. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter made me the cutest card for Valentines Day! Great fabric! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I don't really celebrate Valentine's. I did dress my daughter in hearts, though. It was cute.
