Today, I bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, Alewives Fabrics. In their words:

"Alewives Fabrics is located in beautiful Midcoast Maine and has been in business since 1978.  For the past 8 years the shop has been owned and operated by the mother/daughter team of Barbara Neeson and Rhea Butler.  We carry all kinds of tempting fabrics, including quilting weight cottons, double gauzes from Japan, vinyl laminated oilcloths, home decorator weight fabrics, cotton voile, wools, corduroys, rayons and much, much more!  For the past few years, we have been sending fabrics all over the world via our webstore.

 Rhea writes a blog for the shop, Alewives Girl, and she also tweets for the shop (@AlewivesGirl).  And of course, we have a facebook page, too!"

SouleMama: How does the balance of family and work play out for you?

Rhea: Everyone who works at Alewives is a parent, and we all have the privilege of rallying around one another as we go through the joyous times and the tough times of motherhood.  Some of us have babies that are grown, some of us have grandbabies, and some of us have little toddlers running around.  The newest addition to the Alewives Fabrics family will come in December when Rhea and her husband Oliver will welcome their first baby.  As first time parents, we feel blessed to be surrounded by a community who supports us and offers a lot of different experiences and perspectives on parenthood...  that community includes our neighbors, the ladies Rhea works with at the shop, and of course our wonderful customers.  What an amazing resource you all are!  

For today's giveaway, Alewives is generously offering the following to ONE winner:

1. a "Wildflower" Turning Twenty kit!

1. (The kit is made up of 20 different fat quarters, all 100% cotton in quilting weight, inspired by the summer wildflowers growing here on the coast of Maine.  Designers include Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Liberty of London, Bari J., Brandon Mably and Phillip Jacobs.  The kit is a natural with the "Turning Twenty" pattern, but would be great in any of your patchwork projects!)

In addition, Alewives is offering SouleMama readers a 10% discount on their entire purchase through Sunday, June 24th. To receive the discount in person at the shop, just mention 'soulemama" at the register. To receive the discount online, enter the word "soulemama" into the promotional field at checkout. The discount won't be reflected in your total, but rest assured we are working hard on our end to adjust your order manually to reflect the discount. Discount does not apply to shipping costs or to previously discounted items.
