Intrepid Thread Highlight & Giveaway

500 Comments / By / March 23, 2012

Welcome all Blog Hoppers from Quilting Gallery! If this is your first time here please take a few moments to check out my tutorials section and if you see something you like I would love it if you would follow my blog (there are lots of ways to do so in my sidebar!).

Do you like fresh modern fabrics? Do you like excellent customer service? How about just a little fabric eye candy? If so, then The Intrepid Thread is the fabric shop for you!

Julie recently launched her new website and there are so many features that I love that I don’t really know where to start. The shop is split into 8 sections: Coming Soon, Fabrics by Collection, Fabrics by Designer, Fabrics by Manufacturer, Just Arrived, Patterns and Notions, Pre-Cuts and Bundles, and lastly but by no means least – Sale Fabrics.

To celebrate the Grand Opening of the new website Julie is offering a 10% off coupon GRNDOPN10 through March 22nd.

Julie started her own business because she wanted to create a fabric shopping experience that encompassed superior customer service and offered the top of the line modern fabrics. She has accomplished all of that and more. She has a reputation for her impeccable taste in fabrics and she is more than happy to put together a custom bundle and help customers choose coordinating fabrics. She did this for me recently, helping me pick out fabrics for my month in Sew Bee Blissful – she put a custom bundle together of Ty Pennington’s Impressions Line.

I LOVE Intrepid Thread’s Coming Soon Section. Here are a two of my favorite lines that are coming out soon:

Flying Free – Coming in April 2012

Kharma Baby – Coming in April 2012
(Please – one of my friend please get preggers so I have an excuse!!!)

Now Julie and I want to know what your favorites are in the coming soon section. You may be asking yourselves: “And what are you going to offer in exchange for our valuable opinions (yes they are valuable!)?”

How does a Fat Quarter Bundle of Desert Daydreams in Santa Fe Sky sound?!? This is the exact same bundle I used when I made my Desert Daydreams Apron that went out in The Intrepid Thread newsletter last night – now you can make one too if you like. Of course you can absolutely make something else too if you are the big winner!

There will be 3 entries available for this giveaway (to enter you must be a follower of my blog – this does not count as an entry):

  1. Head over to the coming soon section of The Intrepid Thread website and tell us your favorite line (1 entry)
  2. Like Sew BitterSweet Designs on Facebook – come back and tell me you did (1 entry)
  3. Blog, Tweet or Facebook about this giveaway, come back and share the link (1 entry)

UPDATED: for Friday March 16, 2012 – Desert Daydreams is on sale as a daily deal over at Intrepid Thread – check the sale section daily for more deals!

Make sure you head over to Quilting Gallery for more fun giveaways!

Blog Hop Party with Give-AwaysThis giveaway will be open through March 23rd at 9pm PST. I will announce the winner on March 24th. Good luck everyone and happy day dreaming over future fabric purchases!

    I noticed that Flock is on the coming soon page; but, it’s already here (there)! I’m very tempted to purchase some of that fabric. Also, I’m curious about the Flying Free fabrics.

    Thank you for a chance to win.

  8. Kristy

    I love that Flying Free and just pinned it to my favorite products! 🙂

    I also ADORE the Alpine Wonderland and think the Cocoon would be perfect to make something for my mom!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  19. KellyS

    Hooray! She will be carrying Peak Hour! I am going to try and make big boy quilts from that line, so cute! I am also in love with Flying Free and Wrenly Christmas (LOVE Valori Wells).

  28. Lisa L.

    How am I possibly supposed to choose from those?? I think I would say Cocoon or Peak Hour! Adorable! Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂

  49. MarciaW

    Cosmos is quite pretty and is tied with Vintage Modern as my current favorite. I’ve followed Intrepid Thread blog for a while and it is wonderful that Julie is sponsoring this grand opening giveaway.

  56. Becky Greene

    I love a bunch of the upcoming lines, but those swimsuits on the clothesline of Lucy’s Crab Shack are priceless!!!!

  57. Stephanieeeee

    I adore Julie’s customer service and am so happy to see her shop expand to its own website! I really love the Lucy’s Crab Shack line – definitely some prints in there that I’ll be picking up!

  66. MarciaW

    I liked your blog on FB as Margaret (and Marcia) alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com. My mother and I share a FB account.

  76. Lisa Conant

    Welllll…I would have said Flea Market Fancy, but I just ordered some last night, lol, so although it’s coming soon to my house I guess it won’t count on this survey! So my choices are Lucy’s Crab Shack (so summery and cute!!) and Wrenly Christmas. I’m totally in love with the Wrenly line, and am thrilled to see more of it 🙂

  79. Erin Marie

    Ooh, I hadn’t seen Kharma Baby. Love it!

    But with two boys, I’m loving Peak Hour. Love the cars.

  90. Lesley

    I love the Cocoon line, but I adore all the rest…chuckle…everything is beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity!

  94. Mónica

    I´m a frequent visitor of the inthrepid thread and it´s coming soon section! I love the entire flying free collection…

    Thank you for this giveaway!!

  100. KittenWithAWhiplash

    The Coccoon collection is full of beautiful designs, and the colors are wonderful.

  105. Pat V.

    It’s hard to pick just one favorite at Intrepid Threads. So much good stuff! “Apple of My Eye” looks really fun, and of course I gotta lay my hands on some “Flea Market Fancy!”

    Love the new website, btw!

  114. Carla G

    I like the Cocoon fabric! I think butterflies are so cool and to have an entire line full of them ~ very cool! Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful fabric! 🙂

  116. ~ Julie ~

    I’m lovin’ the “Apple of my Eye” fabric in their Coming Soon section!!! 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great giveaway!!! 🙂

  123. Gina

    The new website is fantastic and I love Julie’s taste in fabrics! I’m particularly excited for the “Wrenly Christmas” line. The “wildfield” fabric has been catching my eye for a long time in the original Wrenly line, and I think it’s even more beautiful in the Christmas colors!

    Thanks for offering such a generous giveaway!

  124. KimR

    I couldn’t pick just one! But, since technically one is already in the shop–FLEA MARKET FANCY!!!! I guess I am only picking one– Vintage Modern by Moda.

  127. Cecilia

    I can’t wait for Flea Market Fancy and Vintage Modern to come out. They both look beautiful.

  131. Ellen M.

    The “coming soon” fabric I am waiting for is Cocoon Large Butterfly, especially the coral color. Wow!

  133. Ellen

    Can I only choose 1 favorite. Ah shucks. Apple of My Eye looks cute with the polka dots and love the floral and the petal fabric ones as well in that line.

  135. Jeanne

    I love everything about Julie’s shop especially Julie, she is the best. If you can’t find it, just ask, she works so hard to please us all. I am nuts about “Lucy’s Crab Shack” Reminds me of my trips to the far south of the USA, Key West!!!

  163. Melanie Logsdon

    Vintage Modern is so pretty. It is my favorite, though it is hard to pick just one!

  164. Kylie C

    I’m looking forward to Kharma Baby! (I wasn’t sure how you wanted us to follow since GFC is gone but I’m following with Networked Blogs, Blog Lovin’, and Linky Followers)

  165. sandyb

    I just love Cacoon. I just love butterflies. I love the holiday designs but it is too early:)

    Thank you for this great giveaway!!!

  194. Michelle Olsen

    I’m already a follower, and I am most looking forward to Vintage Modern – it’s totally my style!

  197. Rhonda H.

    I think Summersville is my favorite coming soon at Intrepid Thread. I am also a follower by subscription. Thanks for chance to win!

  225. Jane Smith

    I love the cocoon collection. Butterfly fanatic. 😀

    All of the fabrics are beautiful. Thank you for the contest.

  236. Jeannie D

    Oh my gosh, I am already on the email notification for Alpine Wonderland but now I’ve discovered Summersville! What’s a girl to do?

  253. VickiT

    Ooh beautiful fabric. I’ve been so far behind all day that I haven’t had a chance to read my newsletter but I remember you saying earlier this week to watch for that with your apron being in there.

    The coming soon fabric I look forward to is Vintage Modern. LOVE that one.

  256. GG

    I am drawn to Piccadilly Circle b/c I love the colors of aqua/green/gold & b/c I like the print fabrics.

  264. Beth T.

    I think Kharma Baby would be cute in a quilt for my new niece. She’s already here, but I don’t think I’ll get started on her quilt for a little while…

    I noticed that the Intrepid Thread will send an email reminding when items change from “Coming Soon” to “Here at Last!”. I love that!

  276. Ana

    As a mother of two boys I am waiting for peak Hour to be released. But the collection Wrenly Christmas also looks pretty nice! (So many options….)

  288. Judy

    Love Santa Claus is coming to town! Love Christmas and everythhing about it. Thanks for the chance.

  294. Sharon

    I really like Apple of My Eye! Thanks for the chance to win that beautiful bundle of fabric. I love it’s fresh colors!

  298. Barb in MI

    The more I see it, the better I liek it: Flea Market Fancy. I haven’t been around in the fabric world long enough to have known the 1st Flea Market Fancy line.
    Thanks for a chance!

  299. Sharon

    I actually opened my first Twitter account today and tweeted about your giveaway, but can’t figure out how to find the link for the tweet. I must be having an off day…I’m usually fairly bright. LOL! Oh well.

  307. karen

    I love Wrenly Christmas……..especially since it’s not overly christmas’y. could use anytime………those swirls! thanks for a chance to win.

  310. Joyce Mitchell

    My favorite Peak Hour from Intrepid Threads would make a wonderful quilt for my great-nephew. Thanks for the giveaway.

  319. Sanda Timmons

    I left a comment on Facebook for you. I am choosing Kharma Baby because this would make a nice child’s quilt. He/She could learn about the different animinals.
    This is a very rainy day and the Blog Hop Party is taking the blues away. A chance to win a bundle of Desert Daydreams in Santa Fe Sky to make an apron like you did is awesome.

  320. Stella

    I liked your Facebook page. Looks like a fun page to follow. And I love Intrepid Threads Kharma Baby. Can’t wait to shop there, I do all my fabric shopping on line.
    Thanks for the give away and heads up to a new quilt shop.

  321. Becky in Georgia

    Happy St. Pat’s Day! My favorite coming soon line is Vintage Modern by Moda. Thanks for this generous giveaway! It’s fun to dream to projects for this fabric bundle.

  323. Cheryl

    I’m waiting for the “Quilt Blocks” collection coming that’s due in April. I can’t wait to work with the “Hexagon Dots” prints. I’d love for my bathroom to be tiled to look like the blue “Hexagon Dots in Marine” design. Then I’d sew up a matching curtain and embellish some towels!!

  325. Bettina

    I like both Summersville and Modern Vintage- both I think have enormous potential on their own and combined with completely different lines- and the colours are just yummy!

  332. Lizzie

    Soooo many awesome new-s coming to Intrepid Threads! I’ve been looking forward to Alpine Wonderland, but also found: Quilt Blocks, Sommersville, and Wrenly Christmas to add to my list, oh my!

  460. Susan

    Oh, yes, I have to agree with the Flying Free! It goes right along with a plan for an applique quilt that popped into my head this afternoon! But I also liked Guising, Cocoon, and Wrenly Christmas. So many choices! I follow by e-mail.

  465. Shelley C

    I’m looking forward to Rhapsodia. I so like the large motifs; perfect for totes and purses. Seems I always buy with an eye toward making those 🙂
