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 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
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
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.
Layer cakes are my favorite precut (closely followed by jelly rolls) – I'd love to win these! Thanks for the chance!
Oh that pile is begging to become a lovely Christmas quilt!

I love layer cakes. These would make a great twister quilt. Love those reds.
I would love to be considered and I am happy to pay the postage to Australia if you would have me
I have several layer cake patterns waiting for the right fabric to come along. I'd love to help you clean out!
Those fabrics would be perfect for doing Sue Daley's Antique Sampler. I'm planning to use some of that very same fabric you have shown.
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!
What pretties! There are two layer cake patterns that I bookmarked in the Bake Shop to try.
Wow, they are beautiful!! I think they would make a couple of lovely Christmas quilts! And I love the giveaway idea as well!!
I have not maxed out my storage space, so your castaways could find a good home here!
I would use the layer cake squares to make a quilt for my husband or as a Christmas gift. I have never used a layer cake before. Beautiful fabric.
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.
Thanks for the chance. I love layer cakes and have to make a quilt for a new grandchild.

They would make a quick quilt to whip up for a charity auction! Or I'd whip up placemats for quick Christmas gifts.
Oh I love reds and I will happily take your treasures off your hands 🙂 Thanks for the many chances to win!

I use lots of reds in my quilts and my supply is getting low. I would love to give your fabrics a new home.
What a generous prize offering! These would be great for making quilts for charity. Thanks for the opportlunity.
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.
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
Que lindos!!!Gostaria de fazer uma toalha de mesa para o meu Natal.Obrigada.

I've been brushing up on my sewing skills all summer and am ready to make my first block. I love reds and how special to have the fabrics chosen for me. Thanks for the chance. Kellerkim7@aol.com
Thank you for the chance! A boost to my stash of reds would be an inspiration for a fresh early autumn pineapple block table topper.
I would use the fabric to teach my three nieces how to make a quilt.
I was looking at some red fabric yesterday at a local quilt shop, but sadly did not buy any. This is karma that you have beautiful red fabric to give away! ann.rotunno@gmail.com
I have not purchased a layer cake so this would be a great opportunity to try using one. I have Christmas gifts to make.

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! 🙂
Oh gosh, I have the perfect pattern for my daughter. She wants a quilt for college and I think that the fabric would be perfect!
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!
We're having an auction to benefit our local public library, and I would put your fabric squares to use making a quilt for this fund-raiser.
I would use them to make quilts for Project Linus. I love layer cakes.
Love working with layer cakes!!! My favorite!
Donna
While you may be destashing, I'm just starting to hoard, I mean collect fabric! My favorite color is red (for now).
I've never sewn with layer cakes – and see all sorts of amazing quilt patterns for them. Would love to welcome a few layer cakes into my little sewing corner !!
I love layer cakes! I really like making scrap quilts, so the more fabric choices, the better.
i'd stitch them together and say: these came from Lissa's stash! Yippee!!
I've been helping a new quilter friend to make simpler type quilts, she doesn't have a lot of stash yet. I'd love to win and gift the squares to her. Thanks for the chance~!
Thanks for the giveaway! I just cleaned out my craft room too. What a great feeling!
I would love to win layer cakes. They are so much fun to work with and provide endless opportunities to create.
I love fabric!
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.
Wow, these would be destined for greatness as new pattern samples in my world 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity- and the inspiration to organize my own quilting studio.

I'm such a schnibbles junkie and these Layer Cakes would fit the bill to make all those marvelous quilts in Carrie's books!
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.
