You'll remember my Scrap Basket Sunday basket, right? Well, when I finished the Merry, Merry Snowmen quilt top and then the Schnibbles Canasta quilt top, I added more leftover scraps to the basket, so now it's overflowing once again.
Then, in gathering oranges and blacks for the Twister Jack project, I pulled open my large scrap drawer . . . and found it too was stuffed pretty full.
And just to GET TO the scrap drawer, I had to move the bag of fabric that was leftover from the Bunny Hill Autumn House quilt project. And I figured it was about time I redistributed those fabrics amongst my other stash fabrics, and of course there were more scraps mixed in with the larger pieces.
So all in all, I ended up messing around with scraps for a couple hours, and I thought with all these scraps that don't seem to lessen despite the scrappy projects I make, maybe it's time to stuff a Priority Mail box full of scraps and send if off somewhere.
Ah, but where should I send it? Not everyone likes scraps, of course.
So what I thought I'd do is for anyone who signs up on Mister Linky (yesterday's post) to show a scrappy project they're working on this week or signs up next week AND leaves me a comment saying they'd like to be entered to receive MORE SCRAPS, I'll enter them in a drawing. I've stuffed the box with a mix of stuff, including some Christmas and Halloween fabrics, and there are several large chunks of fabric in there--probably not quite fat quarter size but close--or maybe more than a fat quarter, but cut longer and narrower. I'm really not sure. All I know for sure is that there's a pretty good selection in the box.
I DO have to limit the giveaway to those of you in the U.S., however, since it's a U.S. Mail Priority Box--and sending something this heavy outside the U.S. would cost a lot. Sorry.
What if you link up and post a scrappy project both weeks? Then you can enter twice and have a better chance. So remember to link up AND leave me a comment asking to be entered. I'll announce next weekend when I'll close the entries and draw a winner. In the meantime, happy scrapping and I'll look forward to seeing what you make!
Your scraps would be oh so welcome at my home. I used to admire scrappy quilts "knowing" I could NOT make one. Times have changed. I love scrappy and I CAN do it! Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteKim I would live those scraps for a charm quilt I have been working on for 3 years now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started quilting, I would hear my friends say they liked a particular color fabric, or they really liked polka dots or tone on tone, but I could never figure out what color was my favorite or what pattern on fabric I liked best. When I made my first scrappy quilt, I knew why ~ I liked them all! I use everything in my quilts ~ doesn't matter what color. Thanks for sharing your blog. I would love to take those scraps off your hands! Ronda
ReplyDeleteI can always use more scraps. I'm always making more quilts to give away. Today I'm going to start a quilt for myself finally! The first one ever I'm going to keep.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of scraps already, but can't resist the chance to win someone else's scraps! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a king size quilt with 100 scrappy stars. Love, love these scrappy quilts. Joy
ReplyDeleteWell Kim I'm not sure how to linky things up! I am working on the Star Surround quilt along at Happy Quilting! I love scrappy and am getting more and more in my stash! Yippy!
ReplyDeleteI should probably NOT want your scraps, seeing as my own boxes are stuffed full/overflowing...but what the heck! Someone else's scraps are a treasure! ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to take your excess scraps off your hands. I don't have a blog, but totally enjoy reading yours. Thanks for all you share.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a scrappy box of goddies.
