You know the old saying.....
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. - Marilyn Monroe
Well that is the truth,
so let me tell you a story.
I have desperately needed new floor in my sewing room.
Let me just say high traffic area and 3 sets of puppies.
I have been patiently waiting for the floor and
they called to tell me it was going to be installed on a
Thursday and Friday.
As luck would have it,
this was the Thursday and Friday before I was to
move child #5 to his college apartment.
So not only was the apartment staging area happening
in my living room but the
entire sewing room had to be emptied by Wednesday night.
That is part 1 of the story.
Part 2, the other day a friend of mine came to me and said,
" This is going to be us."
She then showed me a picture of a quilter's estate sale.
Tables and tables full of fabric treasures. This quilter was a longtime quilt shop owner.
She has acquired 3 yards of every fabric to be able to use when she retired.
( we have all said that, right?)
So the past week or so I have been trying to put my house back together.
( I forgot to mention that the sewing room has also been the revolving bedroom for kids moving in and out and I had a stash of fabrics in another room)
So the another infamous saying is,
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Prov. Something that one person considers worthless may be
I am going to be sharing my treasures with you.
I don't consider this worthless, actually
I hope they will be priceless to the right person.
My son kept me honest and didn't let me sneak any
more fabric into my sewing room.
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
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.
SO EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
And the reason is I don't have any more room.
Today's giveaway is an assortment of over
50 layer cakes (10" fabric squares)
Lots of reds in this collection of assorted layer cakes.
They are from assorted fabric groups.
None of them have been pre-washed.
They need a good home.
Leave a comment and let me know you can put these fabrics to good use.
I will draw a name and post Day 2's giveaway at 6:00 in the morning.

Layer cakes are my favorite precut (closely followed by jelly rolls) - I'd love to win these! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOh that pile is begging to become a lovely Christmas quilt!

While you may be destashing, I'm just starting to hoard, I mean collect fabric! My favorite color is red (for now).

ReplyDeleteWow! Layer cakes are so great because you can cut them if you so choose for charm patterns...this is my second year of both my kids in school all day so I hope it is productive but I think that many I'd have to share with my quilt guild (MSP Modern Quild). Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWow, these would be destined for greatness as new pattern samples in my world :-) Thank you for the opportunity- and the inspiration to organize my own quilting studio.
ReplyDeleteemily@thecaffeinatedquilter.com

ReplyDeleteLove those fabrics! Great opportunity to teach quilting to my grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI would welcome these layers cakes into my home. Christmas is just around the corner and red is the greatest color for making quilts or potholders or even placements for my family. These layer cakes would just get so much love and would be so much appreciated. Thank you for being the kind and generous person you are and being so good to all of us, your followers.

ReplyDeleteLayer cakes are just the perfect precut for me. You can do just about anything with them, and have a terrific project using a fabric line you may not want to invest in to buy a full bundle.
ReplyDeletelayer cakes are the best, they are just so versatile. This is such a beautiful group of fall layer cakes, they would make a wonderful throw.

ReplyDeleteOhhh I would definitely do a quilt, maybe something easy like the double slice layer cake pattern!!! Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteHmmmm I have been wanting to do a half square triangle quilt and those look like they would be perfect!!!
