First things first. The winner of the Slice Fabrique is #41 Stephanie, who commented: “I am a craft buds follower.” Congratulations Stephanie! I’ve e-mailed you.

If you’re reading this and you didn’t win this time, I’d highly recommend subscribing to the Slice Fabrique blog so you can hear about future contests. (We’ve also had some great giveaways linked up this week, including fabric, craft books, handmade items and more.)

This week’s Fresh Picks include some goodies from the garden, a way to give back, and some 10-minute crafts:

Crayon Monogram Art

DIY Nursery Art: Put broken crayons to good use with this cute and simple idea for decorating a child’s room! Lisa shares the monogram artwork how-to at The Pursuit of Happiness.

Chalkboard Business Cards

Upcycled Plant Markers: If you have some old business cards sitting around, cover up the outdated text with chalkboard spray paint and create these garden markers! Brilliant tip from Kim at Yellow Songbird.

Win this Fabric

Around the World: Help someone learn to sew around the world. You could even win some sweet fabric! Read more details at Handmade by Alissa.

Zucchini Brownies

More Veggies, Please! Have some extra zucchini growing in your garden? Turn it into something unexpected. Natalie shares her recipe for zucchini brownies at A Turtle’s Life for Me.

Giant Pinwheel Tutorial

Round and Round: It’s easy to make this giant pinwheel for an end-of-summer party! Or, why not switch out bridal bouquets for these whimsical paper flowers? Get the tutorial at Sunla Designs.

Hi, I’m Lindsay Conner, an author, modern quilter, editor, and founder of the Lindsay Sews blog. I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.

    That brownie pic just made me so hungry, even if it has zucchini in it.

    I have awarded you the Versatile Blogger award. I LOVE your blog and read it daily.
