Giveaway: New York sparklies

October 15, 2011 by Denise Felton

When Susan Elliott of Plays with Needles has a giveaway, you know it is going to rock. She and Shirlee Fassell met up in New York City to shop for crazy-quilting supplies. And at their last stop of the day, Tinsel Trading, they found a gold mine: piles of vintage glass flatbacks that had just arrived, new-old stock purchased from another store. Yes, Susan shamelessly raked in the loot, but she’s sharing. One commenter on her post will win a generous supply of New York treasures including (as you can see in the photo above) lots of the vintage sew-on flatbacks. Go to her blog post to enter before October 18.
