Gorgeous neutrals!! (And what, bonus jewel tones? 

Brights are my
absolute favorites). I’m using both neutrals and brights, 
oddly enough,
in a new scrappy pattern, so these fabrics would find 
a happy home and
immediate purpose with me. Thank you for all these 
awesome
opportunities! I’d love to know your fabric storing-secrets.

Quilt Fabric Giveaway

Don’t say anything about how DIVERSE my fabric tastes are.
I am a middle child and I like
EVERYTHING.
Jack of all, master of none as the saying goes.
Yesterday it was Lush Uptown by Erin Michael.
Today it is traditional basic nothings.
Not pictured are the jewel toned brights that are a bonus!

Some basics that 

would be nice to 
add to any 
stash.
I hope you are enjoying these fabrics.
 I am a little embarrassed to 
predict how long it will take me to 
fill any bare spots on my fabric 
shelves with new stuff. 
Hey, my addiction to fabric 
could be a lot 
more dangerous! 
Did I tell you that 
I love shoes, but I am not
destashing those?
The Winner of the Lush Uptown Jelly roll  is:

I love this fabric collection – the birds, the ikat patterns, the
colors – everything about it is so ME. I would love to have this jelly
roll to work with! Thanks for the free pattern. And happy birthday to
you!

Lush Uptown Giveaway

The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.
 Happy Monday to all, 
For those of you that missed me over the weekend,
I forgot to remind you that the giveaways were only 
going on during the week. 
Bare with me as I tell you the
quick history behind today’s giveaway.
MANY, MANY years ago I worked at a local quilt store,
Old Craft Store in Carrollton, Texas.
They had a member’s club, similar to Sam’s or Costco.
There was a membership fee and that gave you
discounts throughout the year along with a 30% discount
 the week of your birthday.
We had a very very sweet customer
 that every year would bring us a cake on her birthday.
We couldn’t wait to see her come in the door for her
shopping spree and also she was a wonderful cook.
Part 2 to the story is that I was also asked by
Kimberly Jolly to be a part of her
 Jelly Roll Jam pattern event happening TODAY.
So with these 2 things as my inspiration.
Since my birthday was over the weekend,
I thought I was going to give back.
I am going to de-stash a true treasure.
 It is not old
but it is in high demand. 
Lush Uptown by Erin Michael jelly roll.

So hear is what you need to do.
Leave a comment on
my post telling me if you want this jelly roll.
Then check out the free pattern by Fat Quarter Shop
called Jelly Roll Jam. This pattern is quick and easy and is
 yummy in any combination.
Here is the video tutorial as well.
I will post the winner of the Jelly roll Tuesday the 17th at 6:00 am.
The winner of Friday’s destash was:

Reproduction Layer Cakes Giveaway

Reproduction
Layer cakes, 
Darks, 
Stripes 
and even lights.
Did I say this is a hard one to give away? 
I think I could say that about all these posts.
When I decided to do this I did go in 
and create the posts for the month, This 
means there is no looking back.
No falling back in love with some of the fabrics 
I posted.
I wanted to explain how the winner is picked. 
My son has an app that does a random pick, but
I do read all the comments and have enjoyed meeting some
new virtual quilting friends. Thank you for that.

The winner of the Chocolat blocks is:

9-11 fabric giveaway

The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.
 This one is a tough one to give away, 
but
I thought what better day than 9-11
 to post these
classic reds and blues as the giveaway. 
Just in case you are just joining me, 
read the full info of the giveaway here.
When I was bundling fabrics for this month long giveaway, 
I grabbed this stack and tied a string around it. 
Done!
Last night I thought those fabrics don’t really 
look like that great of a giveaway. 
How sick is that? 
That I want each of the giveaways to be 
impressive. Something you will really want !
So I opened these up to take a picture.
To my surprise, each of the 14 pieces is 3/4 to 1 yd.
Awesome!
When it comes to fabric lines, 
especially Moda fabric I have a 
pretty good memory on what designer did what.
This one threw me for a loop?
Do you know who did this?
KANSAS TROUBLES
What was the fabric line?

SIMPLY INDIGO
Impressive, right?
I am the biggest red white and blue fan out there. 
I love sharing this fabric with you, so
Leave a comment, 
Follow my blog 
and
tomorrow morning, 6:00 AM central time I will post the winner.
The winner of the Bonnie and Camille scrap bag is:
Bonnie & Camille are my current favorite fabric designers. Love everything they do! Thanks for the chance!

Need some Bonnie and Camille scraps?

The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.
 I am having so much fun De-Stashing.
(is that really a word?)
 Knowing that these fabrics are going to 
good homes makes me happy, 
because they have been 
neglected at my house!
I am sure you all know that I am a 
huge fan 
of everything 
So today’s de stash is bag of fabrics 
from some of their past collections.
 
A variety of prints and yardages. 
There may be a few other fabrics in the 
bag that are also aqua, grey or red, 
but 90% Bonnie and Camille. 
Leave a comment. 
Will post the random winner 
tomorrow morning 6:00 AM. 
And the winner of the Tula Pink Layer cakes are:

II stop by every day hoping for a red giveaway, but like several other commenters, I too am making the
switch
from reproductions to more modern prints and don’t have a single piece
of Tula Pink fabric in my stash, thanks for the opportunity!
Send me an email with your shipping info and I will ship on Friday,

Quilt fabric De-Stash day 3

The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.

 I wonder if there is a psychologist out there that studies a 

quilter’s fabric buying tendencies. 
Or well maybe I don’t want to know the 
results of such a study.
I do know I have a mad, crazy addiction to background fabrics.
 I love scrappy quilts and the more backgrounds
 I can use the happier I am. 
Many years ago during one of our moves, 
I had all my fabrics 
in assorted black plastic bags. 
Once the move happened and I was ever so neatly 
arranging my fabrics on bookcases, I had no lights.
EGADS! All my light fabrics had been
 mysteriously taken to Goodwill, 
supposedly!
Even though the disappearing black plastic bag 
has tormented me for years I have 
amassed quite a collection of lights.
So keeping my promise to de-stash what will not fit, 
I will have several bundles of 
giveaways that will be backgrounds throughout 
the rest of the month.
Here’s the low down.
To celebrate National Sewing Month, 
I am going to have a Giveaway on my blog 
every WEEK DAY. 
It is going to be quick and simple. 
I will announce the winner and the next giveaway 
every weekday morning at 6:00 am central time.

Today’s giveaway is an assortment of
100%, first quality whites, cremes and tans. Some fat quarters
but mainly hunks of yardage.
None of them have been pre-washed.
They need a good home.
It will be a random drawing and  I will ship at the end of each week. 
I will consolidate shipments if you win more than once. 
I am only going to be able to ship in the contiguous 48 states 
and I must be able to contact you via e-mail.

AND the winner of Sept. 5th’s giveaway is…Blogger

Love brown. My living room is done in shades of brown
thanks to a wall papered in old book pages. I think it needs a brown
quilt to be completely happy. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

Quilt Fabric Giveaway DAY 2

The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.
 Just in case you missed yesterday’s post, here it is in a nutshell.

To celebrate National Sewing Month, 

I am going to have a Giveaway on my blog 
every WEEK DAY. 
It is going to be quick and simple. 
I will announce the winner and the next giveaway 
every morning at 6:00 am central time.
It will be a random drawing and  I will ship at the end of each week. 
I will consolidate shipments if you win more than once. 
I am only going to be able to ship in the contiguous 48 states 
and I must be able to contact you via e-mail.
SO EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
And the reason is I don’t have any more room.
Today’s giveaway is an assortment of
100%, first quality brown fabrics
None of them have been pre-washed.
They need a good home.

Never too many browns!!. The pile does not look impressive 
but it is 8-10 yards of browns, carmels and other yummies.
 Assorted yardages that will fit right at home for the right quilter.
There were a few of these I really wanted to keep
 but I hope the winner
 loves Brown as much as I do.
