Hello, friends! I hope you're having a delightful Friday. No worries that I am, because today is - tada! - my twenty-sixth birthday. I'm about to go stuff myself with Black Forest Cake and see a hopefully delightful golf movie, which will kick off a weekend of general merriment. I live for birthdays, y'all. Mine, Steph's, random people on the street's. Birthdays are a big deal around here.
Which means they should be a big deal on the blog too. Since y'all can't have any cake (which is a tragedy, because this stuff is heavenly), why don't we celebrate with fabric instead? Out of my window seat, where the mythical stash is kept, I've pulled two cuts of loveliness.

First up is this cotton stretch sateen from Gorgeous Fabrics with a lovely purple and blue floral print. There are about 3 1/2 yards, which makes me start dreaming of springy, full-skirted dresses. But it's not to up to me - what would you do with it?
My second offering is 3 yards of this awesome Anna Maria Horner cotton. It's so, so Art Deco, don't you think? I love the plums & pops of orange, which would make a perfect autumn version of the newest Collete pattern, the Peony dress.
Which brings me to my final gift to you. For a third friend of the blog, I'll send you your choice of a pattern from Colette's line. Whether it's one of the new patterns or an old classic, it's your pick!

So, there we have it. Happy September 2nd, y'all! I'll keep the contest open through this weekend, then announce the three winners Monday morning. To enter, just leave a comment on this blog entry. If you mention that you follow the blog and where (Blogger, GReader, etc.), I'll add an extra name in the hat for you!
