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.
I sew for several children charities and am interested in creating just one more before the end of the year. This giveaway would be fabulous to support that desire!! I know whom ever wins it will be delighted and trustfully put it to good use!!
Just scored a "Bliss" (Bonnie & Camille)layer cake but I can't cut into it! I would love to have another cake that I can eat. Thanks Lissa!!! You're the icing on top!!
Though I just moved to Dallas and into a much smaller sewing space, surely these wont take up too much space!? Thanks for the chance!
Ohhhh, ahhhh! I would be tickled pink-er, red–to play with a layer cake!
I saw this post and kind of feel like its Christmas this week! Great giveaway! I bet you have treasures BEYOND treasures in your stash! Can't wait to see pieces of it this week.
Layer cakes are new to me so I look forward to possibly making a quilt with them.
I laughed out loud when I read about your revolving sewing room. I've been going through the same thing the last couple years with kids moving in and out. At the moment I have the room to myself, so I'm ready to sew! I love the bright colors in your photo. Thanks for the opportunity to win and I hope you enjoy your sewing room!
Wow! I would love to make a quilt for my sister with those reds!
Wow the Layer cakes would make really great Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing 🙂

I love layer cakes. They're my favorite precut.
I have yet to make anything with layer cake squares. I have saved several patterns that use them though and would love to sew one up. Thanks for the chance!
Red is my all-time life-time favorite color! These would have a very good home in my sewing room and I have a pretty good idea of what I would make out of them. Thanks for a chance to win!
Yes ma'am they would definitely have a good home here!
Oh, my goodness! What an opportunity! Red is one of my 3 favorite colors (red, white & blue)–all my quilts of a combination of 2 or all of these.

Christina in Cleve-land, Ohhhhhnalbjo
My absolute favorite color is red! I have several patterns for layer cake precuts I'd like to make. One of these would be wonderful!

Your layer cakes would find the perfect home in my new sewing room and I would make lots of quilts for all my grand kids.
I have never had a layer cake…do they taste good? (wink)
I love scrappy quilts, and I would use this fabrics in my scrappy nine patch.
I've got some layer cake patterns I've been wanting to try out, so I'd love to win. Thanks for the chance.
My goodness, such a difficult decision to part with fabric. I have patterns galore for precuts and reds will always fit into my stash , oops meant to say that reds will go with what I have to make to make a scrappy quilt to cherish! Thanks for the chance.
I have just the pattern for them, I have wanting to try.
The first thing I'd do is squeal like a little girl and roll around in them! I love layer cakes. And I'm sure I could find plenty of patterns at Modabakeshop!
I'd probably practice my applique skillz and cut them up to make some "pumpkin seed" blocks.
Wow, what a great give away!
Very awesome and generous! Yes, they would have a good home if I win. 🙂 I'd like to make all homemade gifts this year for Christmas. Thank you!
It so happens that I am planning on sewing quilts for my grandkid's twin beds or in two cases double beds so all ideas, colors, fabrics will be included in my fun projects!! I'd be the perfect winner! Thanks for the chance!
There is always another quilt that just needs to be made! I love layer cakes!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I think I'd make a twister quilt!
Love reds! Thanks for sharing and your son for keeping you on track…funny how sons do that 🙂
This is a great idea! I would sew quilt sample blocks and quilts to test my patterns.
That red on top is a favorite. Could I us later cakes? Yes!!!
Oh wow! I have more patterns for layer cakes than I have layer cakes – and lots of family and friends to make quilts for!! I copuld certainly give these a good home (and make someone I care about very happy). Did I mention that I LOVE reds?
Love your layer cakes! I would use them to make quilt tops to practice my quilting and donate them to our guild charity quilt project.
How generous of you! I don't have much of a stash so would love new fabric to use in my quilts.
What a wonderful giveaway. I am so fortunate to have a very large sewing room and still have space to add to my stash.
Never can have too many reds!
Oh do any of those layer cakes have my name on it? I can hear one calling for me. I can give a layer cake a wonderful home. I would make a lap quilt for the nice people that let my hubby hunt on their land.
I'm having to replace the Christmas quilt I made last year as I washed it and the fabric ran. The reds would be a great start. Thanks for the great giveaways
Would absolutely love to work these babies into my mad for red quilt!!
Lovin all the reds. Thank you
They would work up into nice lap quilts for senior services.
I missed it. That's what I get for being behind in my blog reading. I could have used those layer cakes to make thread catchers. I'll have to get caught up on your blog quickly. Have fun destashing!
