I had a budget in mind and I came in under my goal--it was a generous goal I have to say.I knew one collection I absolutely had to have so I headed there first. Yes, polka dots.
Have you seen this collection? It's Riley Blake Designs Be Merry by My Mind's Eye. I bought every piece they had--they were out of a couple of the pieces. I love snowmen, polka dots, trees, and fabric with words. There is even a line of flannel--I managed to resist, for now. I'm not a rag quilt lover and they had a rag quilt made with the flannel.
Not sure what I'll make yet and it probably not until next year but I spied some coordinating solids. As the lady was cutting my fabric, gosh I don't think I even noticed her name tag, we got talking and one thing lead to another and blogging came up. I said I have a blog and she asked who I was. When I told her Loft Creations she said "I read Loft Creations." Very small world.
Well you know nothing goes together better than polka dots and rick rack. Someone please create some polka dot rick rack!!!
Cuteness. Happiness. I did buy other fabrics too and oddly enough every single piece I bought was all in the same color family.s
Now for the winner of my Christmas Polka Dot giveaway--but first let me just say there are a lot of candy AND polka dot lovers out there! And to those of you who have asked--YES, we have Terry's Oranges in the US and I've never tried one.

Mr. Creations was my random generator and he chose Jenny of Elefantz. Congratulations Jenny and thank you to everyone who played along. Perhaps a Christmas Polka Dot giveaway will be an annual event! What do you think?

Congrats to the winner. What a lovely range of fabric. I keep looking at the Oh Cherry Oh one and thinking that would be good for something in Spring.
Beautiful fabrics that you picked out!! Funny what a small world. Isn't it nice to see that you have readers everywhere? Congrats to Jenny!
Oh Stephanie, look at all those spots!! You found Spot Heaven didn't you?!
Thank you so much for the giveaway prize - I will be having a spotty good time myself when it arrives!! I am so excited!! \o/
I agree about spotty ric rac...I actually did my own once, stitched scores of little french knots along a length. It was gorgeous on the baby quilt I made. :-)
Great fabric choices, Stephanie. Light, bright and airy in 'happy' colors.
Congrats to Jenny!
What pretty Christmas fabrics - looking forward to seeing what you create! Congratulations to Jenny.
I've been told I don't live that far from the shack ... I gotta get there.
AND Jenny congrats .. I love her blog. I keep her in my google.com/reader so I never miss a posting.
Very pretty fabrics. Fabric Shack is my favorite shop, too.
Congrats to Jenny! Those fabrics are gorgeous! I think we need to have a Polka Dot swap.
Such cute fabrics. I really like the snowmen too.
Congrats to Jenny. She will love her goodies. And yes, I think you should make it a annual giveaway!
Oh, Fabric Shack, how I love Fabric Shack. :-) Looks like a great trip with some gorgeous purchases!
Those fabrics are cute! I'm jealous that you live close to the Fabric Shack. I purchase fabrics online from them. I looked up the location on the map awhile back. The shop is about 13 hours away from where we live. I'm just looking for a reason to travel that way. But nothing has come up yet. LOL
Oh Stephanie these prints are delightful.
Congrats to Jenny! Annual event? Definitely! That fabric collection is just delicious! Love the ric rac too!

I'm sure you will be making something beautiful out of your new fabrics.
Congrats to your winner.
I don't think I could have walked away from those lovely Christmas fabrics either. Congrats to Jenny.
Love the fabric. My lqs only carries the snowmen fabric in that line. If they had that polka dot - I would have definitely gone off the fabric diet. That is cute!
Such lovely fabrics! Colors and designs to dream away with .^-^. Congratulations to the winner!
Yes, I love Fabric Shack! Great service and very helpful!
Isn't it fun to meet bloggers who share our interests?! Lovely fabrics and polka dots and rick rack are just about the best, but I love it all.
Congrats to Jenny.
I love that Riley Blake Line and I also HAD to have some! great solids to go with them; and of course polka dots and Rick Rack!! What a fun day of shopping!!
Congrats. to Jenny!!
I shop online at the Fabric Shack and yes they do have good prices.
Gorgeous fabrics Stephanie...there is some rick rack fabric in Joanna's new line Whimsy!!! Congrats to Jenny and congrats to you too...I saw you won a 100 Blocks magazine...yay!!! Oh, and Moda does have some gathered polka dot rick rack...it's cute.
Be Merry is one of my favorite new christmas lines, I haven't gotten any yet but I plan to. The colors and patterns in that line are just too cute! Can't wait to see what you make from it!
Why havent I seen that fabric before!!!!! Its beautiful!!!
Lucky you to have them!! And Congrats to Jenny!!!

Seems Fabric Shack is definitely a place to visit.
Congrats to your lucky winner! your fabrics are gorgeous eye candy!
Hi Stephanie,
Because of you I went to the On-line store and bought some yards of fabric for a Quilt to my son. The shipping costs to Portugal are cheap...and the fabrics are half the price...Thank you...thank you...
Congrats to Jenny.
PS now I'm not sure about the fabrics choice that I sent you...
I love your fabrics and I agree, you can't have too many polka dots. I'd love to have a shop like that near me, although it could be dangerous. Congratulations to Jenny.
The fabrics are beautiful! I think you were a winner too. Congrats to Jenny.
Congratulations to Jenny, couldn't have been won by a lovelier person.
hugs Deb
Lots of gorgeousness (is that a word?) there! I agree, the
fabric Shack is a great place to shop! I'm glad it's a 1.5 hour drive; any closer and I would be in sooo much debt!
Congrats to the winner!
Congrats Jenny! I loved seeing all the beautiful fabric!
Micki
congrats to jenny! i am simply falling over with envy over that riley blake fabric....fab...totally fab! i want to see it in person!!
I just had to agree with you on what a wonderful store the Fabric Shack really is. You can't find a store with more fabric, such a great selection, and such wonderful employees. I feel very fortunate because I live less than 10 minutes away from them. Glad you could make the trip here.
What great Christmas fabric! It's all so pretty. I can't believe it's so close to Christmas already! x
Congratulations for Jenny. I love the fabric
I'd love to go there. cute cute cute fabric
