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.

    Layer cakes are just the perfect precut for me. You can do just about anything with them, and have a terrific project using a fabric line you may not want to invest in to buy a full bundle.

  4. Susan Smith says:

    OOh, I would love to win these. I'd make my first Christmas quilt ever. I've been wanting to make one for a long time but just haven't done it yet. Thanks for offering this giveaway!

    It's national sewing month right? We are all excited that the kids are back in school and we can sew uninterrupted!

    So send some cake on over. Deliver them in person and I'll give you a garden tour. 🙂 I'm just on the other side of town.

  8. Terrie says:

    Love Layer Cake squares. We have had some rather unfortunate strains on the finances lately so I am going totally scrappy as I go into holiday prep mode.Would love the added variety. Thanks so much for the chance !! 🙂

  9. Rebecca Stevens says:

    Wow – how generous!! I love layer cakes and thank you for a change to win this giveaway. I have oh so many projects they would work in but on an extremely limited budget don't know when they will get started. This would be a great win.

  13. Ramona says:

    They all look scrumptious. I cut up most of my reds to make a red and cream tumbler quilt, so my reds are needing restocked but looks like all those colors coordinate well.

  17. Mary says:

    I can absolutely use these. My sewing group is currently working on small quilts for the fire departments' Toys and Joy campaign and these would be wonderful!

  19. CathyK says:

    I would make a quilt or table runner with those Layer Cake squares! Thank you for the chance and I am happy you are getting the room all in order! How fun!

  20. Kathryn Knox says:

    Lovely fabric, I can put to good use. I am in the process of making 4 quilts for neices and nephew for Christmas. Love layer cakes and that fabric would be pretty for the older girls. Thanks for the chance.

    I bought my first charm square pack last Christmas, so fun to caress and ogle. Got my first layer cake a few months back and more caressing and ogling! Just bought the coordinating charm pack and a "nickel and dime ruler" now I'm ready to create a Christmas quilt from the "Aspen Frost" collection. Thanks for the giveaway!!

    Now that takes the cake! My first thought is to hoard and covet them.. then reality sets in and I know I need to share Mo da the love. I would make quilts for family, friends and charity. I’m a 70’s girl too! Thank you! Yvonne

  30. Bri Loftis says:

    Oh Wow! I am needing red fabrics for the red, balck and white scrap quilt I am making ('Virgina Bound') in the Bonnie Hunter workshop Saturday Sept 7th with the Dallas Quilt Guild! I have many of the "Mama Said Sew" fabrics, but need more reds. Thanks for the opportunity!

  36. Carol says:

    I have a couple of scrappy quilts planned – another tatw and a postage stamp quilt. I need lots of fabrics for them. I am also planning my first string quilt.

  38. Barbara Ann says:

    I've actually never used a layer cake, but just recently a couple of patterns that I looked at recommend using them. I'd love to get some to try.

  39. tpott says:

    My very favorite kind of cake, it won't end up on my hips. ;-> I just looked in my sewing room, surprisingly I don't have much in the way of red, just some JR leftovers of Ruby and a little French General. I'd love some of your trash I would treasure it. Thanks for being so generous. ;->

  48. Fiesta says:

    I am have been working on a hexagon charm quilt for over three years. I am up to my last few charms thanks to a blogger friend. These fabrics would be put immediately into that quilt. Thanks so much for the chanc

  49. Miss Marker's Quilts says:

    I absolutely can put these to good use! Do you know how many patterns there are out there to make quilts, table runners, wall hangings, out of Layer Cakes??? I am finding new ones every day, so you ask do I have good use for these Layer Cakes? Yes I do! I can make QOV's, Baby Quilts, Bed Quilts, Table Runners, Placemats with Napkins, Purses and Bags!! So yes, I do have a use for these!!!
