If you have never made a yo yo using this cool tool, here is a video from Pat Sloan.

Yo yos can be used to make cloth toys, holiday garlands and coverlets.

If you are interested in getting your hands on these yo yos,

please leave a comment.

Winner will be announced Thursday morning, 6:00 am.

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?

The Winner of the Lush Uptown Jelly roll is:

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:

Reproduction

Layer cakes,

Darks,

Stripes

and even lights.

Did I say this is a hard one to give away?

I think I could say that about all these posts.

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.

The winner of the Chocolat blocks is:

9-11 fabric giveaway

This one is a tough one to give away,

but
I thought what better day than 9-11

to post these
classic reds and blues as the giveaway.

Just in case you are just joining me,

read the full info of the giveaway here.

When I was bundling fabrics for this month long giveaway,

I grabbed this stack and tied a string around it.

Done!

Last night I thought those fabrics don’t really

look like that great of a giveaway.

How sick is that?

That I want each of the giveaways to be

impressive. Something you will really want !

So I opened these up to take a picture.

To my surprise, each of the 14 pieces is 3/4 to 1 yd.

Awesome!

When it comes to fabric lines,

especially Moda fabric I have a

pretty good memory on what designer did what.

This one threw me for a loop?

Do you know who did this?

KANSAS TROUBLES

What was the fabric line?

SIMPLY INDIGO

Impressive, right?

I am the biggest red white and blue fan out there.

I love sharing this fabric with you, so

Need some Bonnie and Camille scraps?

I am having so much fun De-Stashing.

(is that really a word?)

Knowing that these fabrics are going to

good homes makes me happy,

because they have been

neglected at my house!

I am sure you all know that I am a

huge fan

of everything

Bonnie and Camille.

So today’s de stash is bag of fabrics

from some of their past collections.

A variety of prints and yardages.

There may be a few other fabrics in the

bag that are also aqua, grey or red,

but 90% Bonnie and Camille.

I wonder if there is a psychologist out there that studies a

quilter’s fabric buying tendencies.

Or well maybe I don’t want to know the

results of such a study.

I do know I have a mad, crazy addiction to background fabrics.

I love scrappy quilts and the more backgrounds

I can use the happier I am.

Many years ago during one of our moves,

I had all my fabrics

in assorted black plastic bags.

Once the move happened and I was ever so neatly

arranging my fabrics on bookcases, I had no lights.

EGADS! All my light fabrics had been

mysteriously taken to Goodwill,

supposedly!

Even though the disappearing black plastic bag

has tormented me for years I have

amassed quite a collection of lights.

So keeping my promise to de-stash what will not fit,

I will have several bundles of

giveaways that will be backgrounds throughout

the rest of the month.

Here’s the low down.

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 weekday morning at 6:00 am central time.

Today’s giveaway is an assortment of
100%, first quality whites, cremes and tans. Some fat quarters
but mainly hunks of yardage.

None of them have been pre-washed.

They need a good home.

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.

AND the winner of Sept. 5th’s giveaway is…

Love brown. My living room is done in shades of brown
thanks to a wall papered in old book pages. I think it needs a brown
quilt to be completely happy. 🙂 Thanks for the chance!

Just in case you missed yesterday’s post, here it is in a nutshell.

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.

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
100%, first quality brown fabrics

None of them have been pre-washed.

They need a good home.

Never too many browns!!. The pile does not look impressive

but it is 8-10 yards of browns, carmels and other yummies.

Assorted yardages that will fit right at home for the right quilter.

There were a few of these I really wanted to keep
but I hope the winner

loves Brown as much as I do.

The winner of Sept. 4th fabric treasure is
