Giveaway! and Stash Report Week 26

Last week's stash report passed me by while I was back in Indiana.  In anticipation of the task of going through yet more of Grandma's things, uggh, I treated myself to 3 yards of fabric from Connecting Threads' sale page.  And, since there is so much fabric in my house, I decided to share it with a lucky winner.  Details on the giveaway are at the end of this post.




While in Indiana my good friend Beth came by to look at some stuff and guess what.  She brought me a bag of cotton scraps!  Beth is a draper at the Indiana Reperatory Theatre and a wedding designer (check out her website).  She says that in her designing and her job at the theatre lots of scraps get created.


This stack, that I spent a morning pressing, equals about 5 yards.  It's all great stuff - Michael Miller dots, Free Spirit, Anna Marie Horner, Heather Bailey, a little Amy Butler.  Since they're from clothing projects, most of the scraps are oddly shaped.  Get out the GO! Baby.










Teresa at the Green Bag Lady gave away 2 yard bundles of hand block printed organic cotton fabric from Les Indiennes.  I was one of the lucky winners.


Isn't this pretty.  The designs are very intricate.  It was very interesting to read how the fabric is produced in south India.
I love this medallion.  It would make a great topper for the restored desk There are two on this cut.




Back to the giveaway......


This is a stack of 12 fat eights (18"x11") from Connecting Threads.  I decided the polka dots on sale were too cute to resist, but, that I did not need 12 fat quarters to complete my polka dot hexie project.


To win these please leave a comment telling me on what project you last worked.  For a second chance, please spread the word and leave a comment with a link to your blog post announcing the giveaway.


Rules:
1.  No reply bloggers will be disqualified.  If you are not sure if you are a "no reply" blogger, please leave your email address in your comment.
2.  The giveaway is open to all, U.S. and international.
3.  The giveaway ends this Friday evening at 12AM US central time.  The winner will be announced Saturday morning (and contacted via email).
4. If the winner does not claim their prize by Monday evening, another winner will be chosen.




To this week's numbers:
Shew-ee! There's an awful lot of fabric in my house!

  1. It's hard to say no to free scraps. The medallion is very cool looking. Are you thinking of use it alone as a topper or piecing into one?

    The last project I worked on was my Red, White and blue stars quilt.

  2. I am currently working on a mystery quilt. Making pieced borders that were not a part of the original plan but look great. WOuld loe to play with the polka dots.
    Thanks for the opportunity.

  3. It's always fun to get scraps from friends - sometimes those little pieces are the perfect thing for a project you're working on. I'm putting the binding on a quilt I made for my three year old grandson. It's go trucks and big heavy machinery and roads and detour signs...perfect for a busy little guy. blessings, marlene

  4. A friend who gives you scraps -- what's better than that? And someone who gives away fabric on their blog -- that's pretty awesome too! My latest projects are quilts requested by my sister. They have a Harley Davidson theme. Motorcycles aren't my thing, and black and orange aren't my colors, but the quilts are turning out well. And I know my sister will be thrilled.

  7. How generous of you - I love polka dots! I last worked on three projects (just last night). I am using my Thangles quilt as leaders and enders, I did a block for my Farmer's Wife quilt, and bad me, I started another quilt and pieced my first arc for a Bali Wedding Ring quilt by Judy Niemeyer. Thanks for the opportunity!
