Squeeze Your Own Bundle Competition


I have always admired the beautiful, handpicked bundles Randi has at Fresh-Squeezed Fabrics. From the colour-based bundles:


To the thematic:


To bundles you can just pick up and use as is... Hello little girl quilt!


And they're always so perfectly named! I love that she uses customers' suggestions.

Now Randi is offering you the chance to design your own beautiful bundle of fabric! What you need to do is choose 8 fabrics from either Fresh-Squeezed Online or Fresh-Squeezed on Etsy. Right-click and save the images of your chosen fabric. Create a mosaic of your chosen fabrics and come up with a name for your bundle! Upload them to Flickr or write a blog post about them, then link up here. When you link up, use your bundle name as the linky name!

And the important bit - who wins and how!! Rita from Red Pepper Quilts, Faith from Fresh Lemons Quilts and Randi will each choose their favourite bundle based on the bundle itself and the name. From these 3 finalists, I will choose my ultimate favourite and this person will win a fat quarter bundle of their fabric selection! The 2 runner ups will win a fat eighth bundle of their fabric selection!

And while I am obviously unable to enter, I still insist on sharing in some of the fun...

Back To Basics - perfect for a teacher's gift!

Peppermint Lane - Mmm, just makes me think of candy canes at Christmas!

Sugar And Spice - Sweet but not sickly so!


You have until 11:59pm Monday November 5th (GMT+10:30) to link up - that's 2 whole weeks to get creative! There will then be a few days for the judges to deliberate and the winners will be announced here Saturday November 10th.

How do you create a mosaic? I personally use Picassa - a free download and easy to use. You could also use Picmonkey, or if you're using Flickr - Big Huge Labs can link straight to your Flickr account.
Also if you want to use the Fresh Squeezed logo like I have, right-click and save this image:



So, go squeeze your own bundle! Write a blog post about it, or upload your mosaic to Flickr and share the links here. And if you really can't choose, you're welcome to make more than one! But of course you can only win one ;)

When you link up, remember, use your bundle name as the name of your link.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I try my hardest to reply to all comments - either here or via email if you have your email linked to your profile :) Unfortunately Blogger's spam filter has stopped catching all the spam, so Anonymous comments have been turned off.
