The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.
I wonder if there is a psychologist out there that studies a
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.
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…

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!
i love lights too! Gotta have 'em to work with all the colors!
Lovely bundles! Your destash is very generous and will undoubtedly make lots of winning quilters happy!
How generous!!!! Thank you for a chance. I need need need lights 🙂
Wow! Gorgeous fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the fabric!
Thanks for the giveaway!
You can always use some good low volume in your stash. This is so fun Lissa!
Thanks for giving away your fabric. I am desperately in need of some background fabric.
This is tons of fun seeing part of your stash every day.
Hmm, sounds devine…perfect for fall. I have been sneaking in some civil war creams in with my modern low volume mixes and they go so well. THanks for the chance.
Wow…who wouldn't love those fabrics. Every quilter could use those…:))) especially me. Okay, this is a nice way to start the day and thank!
Can't have too many lights! Thanks for the chance to win
It sounds as if you have undertaken quite a project, in ridding yourself of unused fabric. Good for you – I'm sure it will feel good when all is done.
My – what a lovely group of backgrounds! I've been trying to add variety to my lights all summer. Sometimes it is a challenge!
I love scrappy quilts and I happen to have a deficit when it comes to the lights! Thanks for the chance to win.

Glad to hear you have had a fabric fairy dropping things in your area, too!!
Great sharing idea!
Background fabrics are wonderful! You NEVER can have enough! These fabrics would make a beautiful quilt!
What a project. Background fabrics are always great to have on hand. Thanks so much.
Oh, I would love to have a new infusion of lights in my stash. I'm really into scrappy quilts and I can never haver too many background fabrics.
I love scrappy quilts and love those fabrics. With all the modern ones I see coming out, my heart is still with fabrics like these!! Thank you!
I can't imagine losing an entire trash bag of fabrics. That would be a quilters biggest nightmare. Thank you for the opportunity to win your excess fabric. You are a very generous woman.

Love how you are sharing your stash! Would love some additions to my small, but proud stash!
I agree that this is such an addiction. The background fabrics are a real staple to any stash and a must in any quilt. Thanks!
We can never have too many background choices! Thanks for another awesome prize opportunity.
What a great collection of lights – can't have too many! Thanks for the chance.
Lights are a must for all quilters, so many options! I just love, love, love mixing fabrics!!!! These light will have a good home!

I think I would still be bothered by a missing bag of fabric taken to Goodwill!
I'm not sure I would want the results of a study on my fabric obsession, either…but I justify it because I am creating things…
Funny that you buy backgrounds…I tend to buy the attention grabbing fabrics and have a hole where the backgrounds should be. This would fill that gap nicely! Great giveaways….thank you
O' my — those fabrics look just like 'Autumn'! My favorite month.
Such a nice idea, I would love to give your fabric a good home.
I feel your pain at "misplacing" a bag of lights in your move. This last move, we used only boxes. I was afraid of this happening with our stuff. Doing a swap in October with sewing friends. Would be fun to include your fabrics. Have a great weekend!
I can't even begin to imagine losing a garbage bags full of fabric…ugh. But then again, it did give you an excuse to do some fabric shopping.
Lots of great backgrounds…I especially like that last background with the baseball bats.
These are even more beautiful than the browns! How can you bear to part with them?? These would be beautiful in my clamshell quilt! Thank you for the wonderful giveaways!
I've only made a few quilts and they are scrappy quilts and I never have enough light backgrounds. I will give them a good home! Thanks for sharing.

I can always use light backgrounds. My stash of these is rather small compared to the mediums and darks. That's probably because I use them all the time. Thank you for your generosity.
Again with the earth tones! I am lovin it!
Can I get in the line-up for this one too? You need lights to make those colours pop, and you certainly can't have too many. Thank you!
Wonderful! Like you and browns, I have a thing for lights. What a wonderful addition to my collection. Thanks!
Love lights! Can't be without them.
Not to be corny but remember the song that begins with "You light up my world…"
Pam
EE Gaads, taken to Goodwill? I seem to never have the right amount of lights OR tans….so I would love to win this.
Thank you for doing such a great give away.
Are we the same person? I love using as many backgrounds as I can in a scrappy quilt! More is better, I always say!
I would love to have these backgrounds. Always need background fabric. Have a great weekend and thanks for the chance to win.
Mary
Never have enough lights as I tend to go to the darker colors. They would be a great addition to a quilt.
I've been wanted to try something low volume…this would be perfect. Thanks for the chance!
I never have enough light fabrics in my stash, I'm not sure why. I would still be so crushed over the missing black bag of light fabric. Thanks for such a fun giveaway! ;->
I really need these tones for the quilt I am working on right now. Thanks for the chance
I have been needing some lights fro awhile. I use them a lot in the scrappy quilts I make and I am really running low. Thanks for the chance to win.
I don't have enough lights in my stash. Would love the chance to win these.
Thanks for the chance to win the lights as everybody needs more variety in their stash to build great scrappy quilts
Wow! What a great give away. I would love a chance to win.
How did you know I needed these colors for my newest quilt project!And I sympathize with your loss of fabric – I think it has happened to many of us when we move (the elf comes in becaue we have too much).
