Maude and Me Giveaway!
I am so excited to share with you my latest club shipment from Maude and Me! A beautiful postcard from New Zealand, a tasty chocolate bar (Apparently Kiwis have the good sense to TOAST almonds before smothering them in chocolate- bliss!), some practice Poi ( a traditional Maori dance implement) and some stunningly dyed NZ Polwarth! A truly amazing package from an incredibly sweet person! You might think a club like this would be expensive to participate in, but the exchange rate there is quite in favor for we North Americans and Europeans.
I whole heartedly admit I stalk Maude and Me's shop often, most of the time just to see what interesting new names she's come up with for her roving! Tracee has a new group on Ravelry for her shop: http://www.ravelry.com/groups/maude--me where you can look at what other folks are getting from beautiful middle-earth (I wonder if New Zealanders are tired of the LOTR references yet?)
Before I get to the giveaway (squee!) I must share with you a story about my experience with Kiwis beyond the lovely Tracee (I hope this isn't a derrogatory term- someone please tell me if it is!). I sent a package to Miss Tracee (that is how I addressed it to!) and neglected to write a street address! The Dunedin postmistress googled Phat Fiber, emailed me about a week and a half after sending it to ask what the correct address was! Can you believe it? I was really impressed, can you tell?
We're giving away an amazing full sized NZ Polwarth roving- lovingly dyed by Tracee in here Kerrigan colorway. This is also what will be in the September box next weekend (oops did I write that out loud?)! Just visit Maude and Me, find something you like, and write about it in the comments section below here- remember as always we grant extra entries for each social networking ping you do- facebook, plurk, twitter, ravelry, blog it will count!
Tracee, you're awesome and so is your fiber!

Ooh, I love One Version of Events and Slow Good Morning.
I just happen to have this one in my favorites as I have purchased and loved what they have to offer. I am in love with Lost at Sea and Long Division. I have tweeted and ravelry'd. Love, love, love this shop. Thanks for letting me know they have a Rav group. Just signed up.

I love the "accidents will happen" colorway...it's lovely but now I have one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs running around my brain as well.

accidents will happen! Love this, and the unabashed claim to be from the most beautiful place on earth. Beautiful indeed -- the inspiration shows!
Just signed up for the Rav group - I love their fiber!
Ophelia and Long Division are going home with me!
Her colorways are so pretty, and the colorway names are great too.
I'll be commenting on Twitter, Facebook, and Ravelry too.
Wow, I really like After Dinner Payback. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love the after dinner payback, it's colors are gorgeous!
I think I'm a little in love with Lost At Sea. :D RTed @millarca
kiwis are wonderful people, from my experience! that's very sweet of the postmaster, and not surprising to me at all. the american post would never go to so much trouble!
i was looking thru sold items and the fiber club pics are just classic and hilarious. (buster from arrested development and a sheep!) love love love.
love will tear us apart (love the name), and slow good morning are great colorways.
I LOVE tracee's fibers, they are super soft AND super squooshy, it's really hard to find both in the same fibers. And her colorways are to die for! I love the lost at sea that is currently in her shop, but the new green one is to die for!!
Tracee was good enough to send me 2 of her fiber samples after I was drooling over the march phat contributions - for free! What a sweetie! I promised that I would buy her fiber club when we got settled in Seattle (hello Buster from arrested development!!) Then I got a random prize in the tour de fleece so I had to get the misstracee gift certificate. Everything just worked out perfectly!
Off to facebook and ravelry.
I have been in love with the Lost at Sea colorway since it was a sample in the June box. So far I have bought it TWICE. In face I think that is what I will go spin today.
What unique and beautiful colorways! I love the "triumph and tragedy" combination the best!
I was all set to order the Triumph and Tragedy roving and then I realized it's merino and I can't spin that yet . . . So I looked at her sold items and saw some real lovelies! I like triumph & tragedy, the recluse, design for life and slow good morning. I'm going to keep an eye on her shop till she gets some polwarth back in stock . . . her color combos are lovely!
I just love purples - so I really like slow good morning and one version of events (roving)
I love after dinner payback and long division.....the names are as cool as the fiber!!
The names are fabulous - I particularly like the blue and brown colorways, like Accidents Will Happen. Lovely!
tweeted!
Accidents will happen....too cute!!!
Love the After Dinner Payback. Yummy colorway.
I am lost in Lost at Sea! Tweeting and FBing now. :)
She has such pretty roving. I think Love Tears us Apart is my favorite.
I love the FREE SHIPPING! The roving is AWESOME especially every reason to and lost at sea.
I really like the Slow Good Morning - not only is it my colours, but all mornings should be slow!
Ooooh, I love the afternoon payback and the accidents will happen! I'm into blues right now!
I like triumph and tragedy, not my normal color choices but it just kind of speaks to me, guess that explains why I just had to buy it LOL
Not usually a pink person but Love Will Tear us Apart is wonderful!!
Man that was hard! I loved lost at sea, and sorry for laughing, but kept coming back to pretty lush. It reminds me of a rose garden.
Phew....it's hard to pick just one. I was drawn to After Dinner Payback.
they are all wonderful, but pretty lush has caught my eye and my heart!!
and-FREE SHIPPING from NZ???!!!!
Wow!

Ooooh! The "Tall Tales" colorway looks amazing. Really into blues right now. I want to win! :D Because I always need more fiber, right? :)
I loved the postmistress story, the wonderful fiber colors, and especially their names. Every Reason To really appealed to me.
I would feel very plush if I had A Little Lush. What a beautiful combination of colors.
after dinner payback is for me! what lovely colors
love the sorry for laughing!! facebook
Sorry for Laughing roving <3
It's so hard--I love all the colorways. But I gues I'd have to say that I'm torn between "one version of events" and "love will tear up apart." Just to share--this roving make super lovely felt!
love one version of events!
I tweeted!
Even though I kind of shiver a little at the thought of something called "After Dinner Payback", it's a beautiful colorway. Not sure I really want to know what inspired it though...lol
I love the After Dinner Payback roving.
I love the colors of the Sorry for Laughing roving, but I love the name Irony is for Suckers.

I love the Lush colorway with greens and pinks. I would love to get my hands on some NZ merino!
I love Pretty Lush. In fact I loved it so much that I bought it!
Tracee IS awesome!
Today my favorite is Love Will Tear Us Apart, with Close to You coming in second. I've been really struck lately by the dark red/pink/purple with peach/orange/salmon combination.
And then there are the blues, particularly Lua and The Recluse. And Gasoline Kisses for Everyone is gorgeous.
And then, of course, there are the colorway names. What's not to love?
I always wonder about the stories behind the colorway names.
I love after dinner payback. Great colors & great names!!

I love "after dinner playback" and "one version of events." Though, really, I would spin all of them. :)
Long Division and Love Will Tear Us Apart are both wonderuful colorways.
I love Irony is for Suckers :)
Love the oranges in Long Division
Tweet tweet!!

I also mentioned & linked to the contest from my facebook page but I'm not sure how to link back here to that status update.
after dinner payback is nice...i usually dont like blue but it works nicely with hthe browns
This is a really hard decision. But, on today, my fav is One Version of Eve. Such cool colorways and names!
Too easy - love love love that roving in colorway "After Dinner Payback". I've been on a blues/browns/orange kick lately :)
How can I pick a favorite from the shop? I love all the colourways! Well, I guess if I had to pick just one, it would be Accidents Will Happen. Or Lost at Sea. Oh wait, I like After Dinner Payback.... Augh, too hard to decide!
My favorite is after dinner payback.
I love the combination of colors in the After Dinner Payback. Gorgeous!
Paper Snowflakes: colors and the name. Totally amazing.
I love the irony is for suckers colorway! And the title :)
i love her paper snowflakes color way. It remonds me of winter
Oh, I love After Dinner Payback. One of my favorite color combos.
Ha! I love the name and the color of "after dinner payback"!
Love the slow good morning colors.
After dinner payback and Lost at sea and Sorry for laughing are all just what I've been looking for! What an amazing giveaway!
Tweeted too.
Her colorways are always amazing and I love the fiber I already have from her. The names are half the fun too! My current favorites are "Irony is for suckers" and "Love will tear us apart". Gorgeous!
I posted on Ravelry and my blog.
irony is for suckers definitely :)
I realized I forgot to point out my favorite Maude and Me colorway because they're all amazing!
I think I'm sold on "irony is for suckers" though!
I love the colors in my funny valentine, after dinner payback, and irony is for suckers. Also, the names are awesome!
Lost at Sea! oh wow!
I LOVE that lost at sea roving. It's beautiful colors that remind me of here where I live, where people unfortunately do get lost at sea but we still go out anyway.
I've posted this to my blog
