Make It Modern's April Sponsor: The Intrepid Thread

Hey there strangers! Long time no see!!!!! It's been a LOOOOOONG month! And a very busy one too! I'll tell you guys more about that soon though. I dropped in today to let you all know about Make It Modern's sponsor for April!!!!!!

This month's sponsor is none other than the AMAZING Julie Duek, owner of The Intrepid Thread!!!!!
I know you guys have heard me rave about her and her shop, and I honestly can't say enough good things about her! I'm going to let her about page do the talking for a moment:
"Owner, Julie Dueck, started the Intrepid Thread out of a desire to feature her own favorite fabric lines and designers, as well as offer the best possible customer care available! Not only is Julie passionate about fabric, she possesses a knowledge of fabric that only comes from years of researching it, blogging about it and buying it!
When you purchase fabric from The Intrepid Thread, you’ll benefit from Julie’s expertise! Julie keeps her finger on the pulse of the modern quilter, carefully purchasing each bolt of fabric herself. In fact, if she wouldn’t want to sew with it…then it’s not good enough for her customers either!
Julie’s impeccable taste in fabric, as well as her knowledge and ability to stock the most sought-after designer fabrics, sets her apart from other fabric dealers. Her hand wrapped packages, tied with a bow and a personal note, let customers know just how important they are." 

That really says it all! I absolutely L-O-V-E getting a package from Julie! They always make my day! Her handwritten notes lets you know that she really cares about her customers! I recommend her shop to everyone I know!
Julie just recently opened up a brick and mortar shop! (Congrats, Julie!) The only downside to that is that I don't live close enough to go see it for myself! The pictures on her home page show a really gorgeous shop!
You can visit her blog to see what is going on in her shop and what all she's into....ya never know, you may find a giveaway to go enter! :) I'm just sayin.....

Julie keeps her shop stocked with the latest modern fabrics! And with her FANTASTIC prices....it's hard to say no.... Let me just show you some of my favorites......

My favorite line!!! Comma!

Color Me Retro (I LOOOOOVE the colors in this line!!!!!!)

I'm inlove with this one! 2wenty Thr3e! I wish I could get the WHOLE COLLECTION!!!!!

So you see, you really really really really REALLY need to go and check out The Intrepid Thread because it is just an all around AMAZING shop! I promise you will NOT be disappointed!

So, what is Julie offering to one lucky Make It Modern member?

I love Joel Dewberry! What an awesome giveaway :) For this year, I'm making my youngest daughter a quilt--she actually requested one of her very own. My other Christmas-related project is a book cover

I will be emailing you soon!

For this week's giveaway we have an extremely generous sponsor!!!
The Intrepid Thread owned by Julie Duek!!! She has sponsored a few of my previous giveaways and she is just AMAZING!!!!
Her shop has some of the greatest prices around, I mean GREAT prices! I love how she has her website set up...it's very easy to navigate and find EXACTLY what you are looking for. And when you order from her, she makes it very personal! You get your fabric wrapped up in the cutest little package with a HANDWRITTEN NOTE from Julie!!! She does this for each and every order! In my experience, she is the only one that does that! And for me, it makes my buying experience just that much better!!!!
Her shop has the latest fabric, and she adds to it all the time! You can find all the new lines that have been coming out in the "Just Arrived" section of her shop.
Some of my favorites are

Cuzko by Kate Spain, the above pictured is Julie's Fat Quarter bundle, but she also has a half yard bundle as well as yardage!

She recently started carrying Robert Kaufman's Essex Linen (the above pictured is Putty), and for just $6.50 A YARD!!!!!!

The gorgeous Floressence by Bari J from Art Gallery (this is just ONE of the colorway bundles she offers!!!)

Flutter by the Quilted Fish!!!! This is the entire collection, but she offers each colorway as well as yardage!

The gorgeous, popular, Notting Hill by Joel Dewberry!
Julie also has an AMAZING selection of sale fabric and you can choose to look at 20% off, 30% off or 50% off!!!
I'm tellin you, Julie's store was one of the first online stores I purchased from, and I'm soooo glad I did! I love the way she works with me, cuz I'm VERY picky!!!! I mean, I'll want to buy a FQ bundle but I have to be difficult and switch stuff around and get more of one and less of another and SHE DOES IT! I send her  a list of what I want and usually by the next day (if not within an hour) I have MY OWN LISTING!!!!!! She's just AMAZING!
Julie is getting everything ready to open up a brick and mortar shop, I believe in Jan. and she's super busy but still takes the time to sponsor giveaways, answer emails, and be AWESOME!!! :)
I do really love The Intrepid Thread and HIGHLY suggest you all go check it out and buy until your hearts are content!!!!



Now, what is she offering you guys?

A GORGEOUS selection of the ever popular low volume Fat Quarters!!!! The winner will receive 12 FQ's!!!!!!!!!!!
