scrappy give-a-way
Jodi, at Pleasant Home, has been getting folks to part with their scraps. Not an easy thing to do, for sure, but I'm pretty sure of a couple things: 1) it's always easier when you know they're going to a good home;
2) it's always easier when everyone else is doing it (don't tell my kids I said that).
So, here goes: I'm giving away the latest batch of scraps. Truth be told these aren't ALL my scraps. These are the ones that haven't been 'filed' or boxed into the color bins that I keep with the yardage pieces.
Lots of good stuff, including some basketballs and planets, birch fabrics (organic) and a pile of five inch squares (technically, not scraps, I know).
There's a bit of Pillow & Maxfield, some Felicity Miller 'Kites' and a whole lot more.
The scraps have been used in projects like these (not-yet-blogged):
Leave a comment telling me what you'll do with the scraps and why it's fun to have someone else's scraps.
I will choose a winner on Sunday, Nov. 14. Good luck!

Depending on what scraps I have available when I get done with my current projects, I'm thinking about either making scrappy squares to be paired with solids into a quilt - or maybe just making some smaller projects, like journal covers or bags or something like that.

I love other peoples scraps because it gives you the chance to work with new fabric (that you aren't bored with since you have already made an entire quilt with them) and that maybe you wouldn't have picked out yourself!
Thanks for the chance at winning some of your scraps!!

I would make some scrappy pillows!
I'm hoping to start a string quilt if I win!

This year I finally began making a few quilts for donations. I can use scraps-yours are bigger than scraps, really-in patterns like chinese coins and liberated log cabins for donation quilts. That would allow me to do more of those.
Thanks so very much.

I would use your gorgeous scraps in some dolls I am designing for my nieces, and small frame purses, which don't take much fabric and challenging to make and just great to give as gifts.
Thank you for the chance.

Alison
I'd make mug rugs and little quilts!

I love using others scraps to see 1) what they buy and 2) what I MISSED.

I I win I would likke to make a scrap quilt.
Is fun to have someone else's scraps because you discover new fabrics, colors, is a surprise. Patchwork is recycle bits of fabrics so let's go to be more traditional :D.
Thanks again for sharing your scraps with us!
Fingers crossed

But the economic situation does not help us to afford pay bills and keep our projects up.
I am Brazilian living in Alaska, and it's very good to have things to do on this hard core winter ;)
fingers crossed!
