Log In, Log Out

I am super excited! Just received the news 
that my super duper big log cabin quilt 
made the cover of 
Magazine on Newstands, Feb 4, 2014
 
This quilt was so fun to make. I just started and 
did not know for sure where I was going 
but loved the final outcome.

I combined jelly rolls from 
2 collections from Primitive Gatherings.

I am obsessed with shirtings and how they can be 
used in 1890’s quilts as well as how 
modern they look in 
some of the quilts of today. 
Combine the shirtings with Floral Gatherings 
by Primitive Gatherings and have fun sewing 
round and round. 
There is no way to go wrong. 
 
I cant wait to get my hands on the real copy and 
see all the other projects inside. 
 
Thanks to Maggi Honeyman for her great quilting. 
Maggi, you rock!
 
 
enjoy,

Quilt fabric De-Stash day 3

139 Comments
The giveaway is closed and the winner has been notified.

 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…Blogger

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!
