Tangerine, oranges, and coral really are everywhere these days, aren't they? I love it! It's such a happy, vibrant color. I am especially loving it paired with purple! When putting together this new mosaic, I had to search for another colorful house. That purple one was pinned just a little less than a million times I think! Thanks Michael!!

This week, I'm loving the oranges in my stash!



So bright and pretty!



With all this gorgeous color, I thought today would be the perfect day to giveaway some lovely, very colorful threads!

I have been enjoying Aurifil threads to use in my own projects for a couple of weeks now. I can honestly say, that threads really do make a huge difference, especially when they come in colors as brilliant as these!

Aurifil sent me five Sampler Packs of colorful threads to giveaway to my readers, each having 5 spools! I'm so happy that there will be FIVE WINNERS this time!!

Echo Pillow : :

I finished my Echo Pillow! I really love these fabrics and think this pillow looks pretty good sitting in my favorite chair!



My plan was to make pillowcases out of these for my bedroom, but when my very best friend told me how much she loved them, I had to make her a pillow!



It was a good excuse for me to practice my quilting.



Straight lines scare me!



I love the back. If I had enough fabric, I'd make a set using just these two prints as the front for another pillow.



And, maybe even one more for myself...



Happy sewing!

Color Love { and a Giveaway Winner! } : :

I've been reading everywhere that Tangerine will be the color of 2012. What do you think, do you like it?



Personally, I am loving it! Especially the combination of tangerine + grey + teal + black! I am seeing these colors everywhere on Pinterest.

I combined this past weekend's giveaway bundle with my favorite bundle of Lotta Jansdotter's Echo Collection and it makes me so happy! My husband really likes them, too - Yes! I may have finally found my bedroom fabrics!



I still love grey with any and every color. And, I've always loved black.

So, what do you think? Is tangerine & teal the new red & aqua?



And now, a giveaway winner!
