The best giveaway for last

Several people have asked why I was giving these fabrics away 
instead of selling them.  Others have been amazed that I can part with
years worth of fabrics.
So let me explain, 
I have worked for Moda fabrics for over 16 years and another
12 years working and teaching quilting. 
I am obsessed about the moda designers and the fabrics they create.
 I love what special people they are.
I have a huge appetite and always think know I bite off more than 
I can chew, or in other words make.
I do get an employee discount so selling my scraps 
for profit, feels a bit like 
some sort of Wall Street insider trading. 
Since I am blessed to work for a company that produces 
thousands of fabrics a year, 
I just thought I would share my good fortune with you along with a 
big thank you 
for those of you with this final giveaway.
Did I have second thoughts about this one, heck yes!
French General’s classic red and whites takes my breath away.
 (is that wrong that fabric can do that?)
Do I really really want to make this? 
Yes, I have wanted to make it
 since it came out in June 2011. 
But I haven’t so time to wrap up the month long giveaway
what I consider to be the BEST giveaway.
Please leave a comment and I will announce the winner on Monday, Sept. 30th
No giveaway will be posted on Monday.

The winner of yesterday’s pinks is:

    Thanks for the give-a-ways this month. They are awesome. You are very generous. I hope someday I will be in the same position to help build the stash of quilters and crafters.

    This is absolutely awesome for the last giveaway…and so are you! Adore everything French General and these classic red and whites are truly breathtaking and romantic. If I were the lucky winner of this I would make a quilt for my bedroom for sure (finally, one would be for me!). Thank you for the opportunity, you are the BEST!

    WOW Lissa, I know what you mean about the biting off/chewing stuff after this move I just completed. I could do fabric giveaways for months and still have tons left. But I'm still entering your giveaways, aren't I? It's for a good cause (HAHA). Thanks!!

    You did leave the best for last. Even though I have a stash of French General, I've never had time to make a quilt from it. This would be perfect. Thanks for sharing!

  5. Oh. My. Goodness! Drooling here! Can't believe you are letting go of all that French General Noel Goodness! I would love to give them a home – but I might have to not cut them for awhile either…and just 'hoard' (did I just say that?) them as a whole collection. But just for a little bit – as I loved that pattern and line when it was out. Especially the bird toile! Are you sure you want to give it away? 🙂 So, of course, I'd love the chance to add to my stash! Thanks for the chance! Happy Stitching!

    Wow, what a great give away. Some lucky person is going to get a great gift. I love the French General's classic red & white by Moda. These fabric are going to look wonderful in the Lumiere de Noel pattern. Thanks for the chance to win. Jane Nadig

    Another gorgeous give-a-way. You've been very generous. It's been fun seeing the wide selection of your stash. You're so fortunate to work with Moda. It must be extremely pleasing. Thanks for all your kindness.

    Wonder what your stash looks like now that you have given so much away? Thank you! Not often you see your name spelled with "ss". That's how we spelled my daughters too!

    Love that beautiful fabric! Thanks for the chance to win it and once again a big thank you for your generosity. It's been fun checking your blog every day but then I check your blog a lot to see what you're doing! 🙂

    You are right, perhaps the best for last! It's nice to know that someone in your position still has the excitement for fabric after all these years and it isn't just more fabric by now! Love your giveaway and attitude! Thanks for the chance.

    Are you kidding me? You totally saved the best for last. I LOVE French General fabrics and have always wanted to make this quilt. Such a fun month of giveaways! Thanks so much for the fun each day!

    Hi Lissa, This is my first visit to your blog, saw it in Quilting mag and knew I had to visit you because I am a Moda-lover too, especially French General, I swoon over their sublime colors and patterns. My birthday is the 29th, and this would be the best gift ever! Hope I win 🙂 Cheers!
