If you like blue and beige, today's your lucky day. I have a boatload of blue and beige fabric that I will never use, and which you can volunteer to take off my hands by leaving a comment on this post. Most of it's quilting weight cotton but there's some home dec weight as well as some mysteries.
Every time I try to organize my fabric I encounter this pile of blue and beige and think to myself: "gee, I should probably make something blue and beige" but then I lose interest halfway through the project (or sooner) because I have no interest in owning anything in those colors. Therefore, I'm also giving away the makings of several projects in various stages of completion, all featuring said blue and beige fabric:There's a big stack of two or three inch squares which I had intended to make into another bathmat before coming to terms with the fact that I don't want a blue and beige bathmat. There are also some large squares which were probably going to be cocktail napkins. And lastly there are some pieced half square triangles which were going to be coasters much like these (from a long ago giveaway day). And there's one sad solitary coaster that only needs to be stuffed with a square of batting and topstitched.
I also have a stack of truly disreputable prints. Marvel at the ugliness.
In order to become the proud owner of:
- the big stack of blue and beige fabric,
- various half-completed projects AND
- random prints
just leave a comment including whatever information I need to get in touch with you. I'll pick a random winner on Friday, 5/21. I'm not going to ship internationally, so if you're not in the US, sorry.
I don't know, I think at least one of those disreputable prints looked pretty nice in the photo! My e-mail is eemoody77 at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeletei love blue and beige, so sign me up. and what can i say, i even sort of like the 'uglier' prints.

Thank you for this giveaway. Blue is my favorite color, so know can use those. I love to make quilts from leftover blocks (these can go into my "Leftovers III" quilt). And, I'm making a string quilt right now where some of the ugliest fabrics actually look OK when paired with others. Thank you for this opportunity. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

ReplyDeleteI'd sign up, lady, but then I'd have to figure out how to stuff them into the bags that are hanging out in my laundry room, waiting to be projects. Sigh. Good luck to the rest of you (and THANKS for the idea!)
ReplyDeleteI've been known to write myself a note and put it in my wallet to remind me not to buy certain things.

I love blue and beige! I'll take them off your hands!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Canada, but my step mom in NC will accept deliveries!
You can never have bad fabric-just fabric that doesn't make you happy after it makes itself at home. My stash is mostly blue and tan so I would love to give your poor little disreputable prints a good home. Besides, my husband has been out of work for 2 years and so my ability to get new fabric is limited-this would be a blessing. Thanks for the chance!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI went through my stash yesterday desperate for some blue or other "boy" fabrics and couldn't believe I didn't have any. I need some boy fabric to make gifts! Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteI've always been drawn to anything blue.. so fingers crossed!

ReplyDeleteThe blue and beige would look goo in any room of my house. though I am open to what ever showed up at my door if I won. LOL

I love blue and beige! And I like your idea of recycling your fabric and partial projects to one of us. An infusion of another quilter's "stuff" might be just the thing to get someone going.
ReplyDeleteI do traditional quilts and also love liberated patchwork, so I'm sure to find a way to use your goodies. Thanks, Kathleen villagequilter@gmail.com
It just so happens I'm redoing my son's room in blues and reds with beige tones (think americana without the stars)

I love one of the blue and beige prints, and I'm totally with you as far as the half-completed projects are concerned - I got halfway through a multi-color wedding ring quilt when I realized I actually want a blue (see, there's where you come in) and yellow one. Bah.

haha, i like the ugly fabrics. not together of course- but individually they could have some potential!
ReplyDeletebettyrockit
Ugly fabric stripped down and mixed with other fabrics can make beautiful quilts, I'd be happy to have them come live with me.
ReplyDeleteI love random fabrics! Also, I was thinking about making bunting for my shop name, for the next craft show, but I think I like your method better. Not even pinking shears on the edges - my kind of project.
ReplyDeleteThis screams little boy and that's all I have, so I would definitely use it. Thanks for the chance to win!

I'm all about other peoples ugly. hehe
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I would LOVE to take all the blue fabrics you want to get rid of. My Granddaughter loves blue I've recently found out. We gave her an Easter basket when she came to visit us and it was filled with jelly beans of all types. She dumped that basket out and promptly picked out every single blue jelly bean and refused to touch any other color. LOL I didn't believe my son when he told me she loves blue so much.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to make her a bunch of clothes because they are having a lot of money problems and can't buy her new clothes. Given her blue addiction I'm very sure the fabrics would be greatly appreciated.
My hand is in the air and I am waving like crazy, can you see me... I would love to take the blue and beige fabric off yours hands, I make quilts for a nursing home and need men colors...please enter my name in your lovely drawing, ladycolmn(at)aol(dot)com from Florida Gulf Coast area.

Pick me! Pick me! I would love to inherit the fabrics and the squares! I recently started a quilt top using someone else's tossed away hourglass blocks, and I have a small pile of leaders/enders that I am saving for a who-knows-what improv project. I need those blocks and fabrics, especially the ones you think are ugly! They will fit right in to my two projects!
ReplyDeletePerfect for a boy!
