Quilt Fabric Giveaway

 
The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.

  You know the old saying…..

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. – Marilyn Monroe

Well that is the truth,
 so let me tell you a story. 
I have desperately needed new floor in my sewing room. 
Let me just say high traffic area and 3 sets of puppies. 
I have been patiently waiting for the floor and 
 they called to tell me it was going to be installed on a 
Thursday and Friday. 
As luck would have it,
 this was the Thursday and Friday before I was to 
move child #5 to his college apartment. 
So not only was the apartment staging area happening
 in my living room but the
 entire sewing room had to be emptied by Wednesday night.
That is part 1 of the story. 
Part 2, the other day a friend of mine came to me and said, 
” This is going to be us.” 
She then showed me a picture of a quilter’s estate sale. 
Tables and tables full of fabric treasures. This quilter was a longtime quilt shop owner.
 She has acquired 3 yards of every fabric to be able to use when she retired.
 ( we have all said that, right?)
So the past week or so I have been trying to put my house back together.
 I vowed not to put anything back in my sewing room that there was not room for.
( I forgot to mention that the sewing room has also been the revolving bedroom for kids moving in and out and I had a stash of fabrics in another room)
So the another infamous saying is,
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. 
Prov. Something that one person considers worthless may be 
considered valuable by someone else.
I am going to be sharing my treasures with you. 
I don’t consider this worthless, actually
 I hope they will be priceless to the right person.
 My son kept me honest and didn’t let me sneak any
 more fabric into my sewing room. 
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 over
 50 layer cakes (10″ fabric squares)
Lots of reds in this collection of assorted layer cakes.
They are from assorted fabric groups.
None of them have been pre-washed.
They need a good home.
Leave a comment and let me know you can put these fabrics to good use. 
I will draw a name and post Day 2’s giveaway at 6:00 in the morning.

    I just finished a quilt that made great use of a layer cake and even left me with some bits I can use in another quilt. I like that! Thanks for the chance to win your lovely extras!

    Red = Happy. I have been twirling the idea of organizing a sew-in day and creating quilts for charity. This would be a great start to bring together some local quilters. Congrats to you for sorting and sifting through your treasures.

    I would give your layer cakes a good home. I think they would be great to make a scrappy quilt. I love the Sunday Potluck quilt over at the Moda Bake Shop.
    Thanks for the fun giveaway.

  19. Marie says:

    Oh, my, I would love to win these, they would go far in making the lap quilts that I donate to the local seniors and children's homes in the area.
    Please choose me, please, please,
    Marie

    50 layer cakes!?!? WOW!! Well, who doesn't love free fabric? I have my first sewing student coming over this week(!), and these layer cakes would be very handy to have for future students. Thanks for sharing Lissa! 🙂

    I have been wanting to sew with some great quilter's fabric! It is always so expensive! Would love the chance to win! I am thinking Christmas quilt! Or for my little one!

    Wow! Layer cakes are so great because you can cut them if you so choose for charm patterns…this is my second year of both my kids in school all day so I hope it is productive but I think that many I'd have to share with my quilt guild (MSP Modern Quild). Thanks for the chance.

    Would love to use these to make a throw for on our sofa. Red is the accent color in our living room, so this fabric would be perfect.

  45. Sandra says:

    I would welcome these layers cakes into my home. Christmas is just around the corner and red is the greatest color for making quilts or potholders or even placements for my family. These layer cakes would just get so much love and would be so much appreciated. Thank you for being the kind and generous person you are and being so good to all of us, your followers.
