Our Annual Tea Towel Calendar Contest + A Two for One Fat Quarter Sale Coming Up

Every year we look forward to our tea towel calendar contest, partly because the designs are always terrific, and partly because we really love tea towels. The crop of tea towel calendars for 2013 is no exception, and voting for your favorites is fun despite the difficulty of admiring all the designs sideways (a limitation of our prevew system is that the fabric is shown how it will be printed, with no way to rotate a preview for a cut & sew item like a tea towel).

Along with the good news about the contest is that next week, as we announce the winners of the contest, we're also going to launch a fat quarter sale that will allow you to get two tea towels for the price of one. The sale will actually apply to all fat quarters, but around here we're planning to use it to stock up on holiday gifts. The sale will run from Thursday, October 25th, 2013 (at 8am EST) to Wednesday, October 31st (at 10 pm EST). Until then, have fun voting!
