I would love to win the yo-yos. They would be great to use as flowers on the 7 pieced doll quilts I am piecing for my 7 granddaughters for Christmas to snuggle their new baby dolls in. Thanks for the chance to win.

Pinks, Kind of

You may wonder how I decided what would be combined in each of these giveaways.

Yesterday you saw the stack of reds.

I just grabbed a hunk of reds that I thought would fit nicely in a

priority package,

tied a ribbon around it

and considered it done.

Then I grabbed the next stack as shown above.

It should really be all pinks, however I am not the most

studious at replacing my fabrics in the

correct color family. Consider this part 2 to yesterday’s

giveaway with reds and pink fabrics.

Also stay tuned for the BEST AND LAST
GIVEAWAY TOMORROW, Sept. 27th.

Enjoy,

The winner of the reds from Wednesday, Sept. 25th is:

Red’s my favorite color as well, and my red bin’s getting a bit thin …

Happy Wednesday!

It is one month until quilt market so I am glad this giveaway is

winding
down. I will not have even a spare moment to read all

the nice
comments that you have taken the time to

post over the past month as the hectic pace of the show grows.

So without further ado,

today’s giveaway

is my favorite color, RED.

What a classic color!

What is your favorite color?

Let me know by leaving a comment and

YES you can still win these

even if your favorite color is not red.

Remember how I told you my pics would not be the greatest.

This first pic does look like a wad of sausages still in their plastic casings.

Gross, right?

The bag is full of shirting scraps from Primitive Gatherings collection,

Floral Gatherings Shirtings which is due in stores Nov.

I had the honor of working on this collection early for a

future magazine project. (Quilts-n-More- Spring 2014 issue)

So of course I had some scraps left and you can have them before

this collection even appears in the store.

This bag is full of assorted charm squares plus a few other pieces.

Now I really don’t intend for these two giveaways to work together.

Consider it a smorgasbord of scraps or sausages.

You know the drill, leave a comment and I

will post the winner tomorrow morning 6:00 am.

The winner from Monday’s giveaway is:
jmniffer has left a new comment on your post “Scrap builder paradise“:

Perfect fabrics for the tumbler quilt I am planning. Thanks for sharing some of your fabrics with us!

We are on the final countdown

on my little September de stash project.

Today is a sampler of fabrics from 3 sisters,

Barbara Brackman,

Primitive Gatherings and Blackbird Designs.

The majority of these pieces are 10″ x 10″

but the 3 sisters Christmas collection pieces are 8 x 11.

I am sure by now you know that most

of my giveaway

pieces are not intended to be used together,

but instead they are a

scrap

builder’s paradise.

Thank you for the chance!!

Love polka dots…need them to make a great dresden plate quilt
that I dream about every night in my sleep. I’m exhausted because I
make the quilt every night…do you know how tiring it is to make a
quilt a night! I need to make one during my waking hours to stop these
exhausting dreams! LOL

Gorgeous neutrals!! (And what, bonus jewel tones?

Brights are my
absolute favorites). I’m using both neutrals and brights,

oddly enough,
in a new scrappy pattern, so these fabrics would find

a happy home and
immediate purpose with me. Thank you for all these

awesome
opportunities! I’d love to know your fabric storing-secrets.

Don’t say anything about how DIVERSE my fabric tastes are.
I am a middle child and I like
EVERYTHING.
Jack of all, master of none as the saying goes.
Yesterday it was Lush Uptown by Erin Michael.
Today it is traditional basic nothings.
Not pictured are the jewel toned brights that are a bonus!

Some basics that

would be nice to

add to any

stash.

I hope you are enjoying these fabrics.

I am a little embarrassed to

predict how long it will take me to

fill any bare spots on my fabric

shelves with new stuff.

Hey, my addiction to fabric

could be a lot

more dangerous!

Did I tell you that

I love shoes, but I am not
destashing those?

roll to work with! Thanks for the free pattern. And happy birthday to
you!

Lush Uptown Giveaway

Happy Monday to all,

For those of you that missed me over the weekend,
I forgot to remind you that the giveaways were only
going on during the week.
Bare with me as I tell you the
quick history behind today’s giveaway.

MANY, MANY years ago I worked at a local quilt store,
Old Craft Store in Carrollton, Texas.
They had a member’s club, similar to Sam’s or Costco.
There was a membership fee and that gave you
discounts throughout the year along with a 30% discount
the week of your birthday.
We had a very very sweet customer
that every year would bring us a cake on her birthday.
We couldn’t wait to see her come in the door for her
shopping spree and also she was a wonderful cook.

Part 2 to the story is that I was also asked by
Kimberly Jolly to be a part of her
Jelly Roll Jam pattern event happening TODAY.

So with these 2 things as my inspiration.
Since my birthday was over the weekend,
I thought I was going to give back.
I am going to de-stash a true treasure.
It is not old
but it is in high demand.

Lush Uptown by Erin Michael jelly roll.

So hear is what you need to do.
Leave a comment on
my post telling me if you want this jelly roll.
Then check out the free pattern by Fat Quarter Shop
called Jelly Roll Jam. This pattern is quick and easy and is
yummy in any combination.

Here is the video tutorial as well.

I will post the winner of the Jelly roll Tuesday the 17th at 6:00 am.

The winner of Friday’s destash was:

When I decided to do this I did go in

and create the posts for the month, This

means there is no looking back.

No falling back in love with some of the fabrics

I posted.

I wanted to explain how the winner is picked.

My son has an app that does a random pick, but

I do read all the comments and have enjoyed meeting some

new virtual quilting friends. Thank you for that.
