Forever Home . . .

This giveaway is now closed.

The other day I was looking through my fat quarter boxes, where the fat quarters are sorted and stored by color, and noticed I had a ton of these off toned fabrics.  


Not lights, not darks, but somewhere in between.  Most of them are fat quarters that I pulled and discarded from kits.  There are probably over 125 different pieces of fabric here.


Enough to nicely fill a USPS large priority mail box.  I wouldn't call them ugly, but I don't see them getting in any quilt I'll ever make.  Do you have a need for them?

They are all packed and ready for a new home.  All the pieces were purchased from quilt shops.  They have been stored in a plastic container but have lived in a home with a dog, a hypoallergenic dog, but a dog none the less.




If you are interested in adding this fabric to your stash just leave a comment on this post, any comment will do.  If the USPS will mail to your address you're eligible.  If more than one person is interested in this giveaway I'll let random number generator select the winner.  You have until the end of day today, February 7th, to leave a comment and be eligible.

This won't be the last box of fabric looking for a new home, it's spring cleaning time at my house!

Thanks for your interest.

This giveaway is now closed.

    OOOH, Thelma, I'd LOVE to have them! I'm about to start teaching 3 young girls from our church to quilt and I'd love to give them some fabric to get started with!

    I would love this box of fabric! That's the smallest shelf in my stash. Seems I always buy color, then have nothing to put with it! Thanks!

    I've been doing operation "use up my stash" for several years now, and just a few weeks ago I realized it was essentially used up. I've started to miss the inspiration that comes from playing with different fabrics. I know you'll have a ton of responses, but I just wanted to toss my name in the hat, too. :)

    My name is Barb. I have never posted a comment before, but I do like to read your blog when I can. I am an elementary school teacher who loves to design and piece quilts on weekends and in the summer. I would be happy to give your fabric a home. They would definitely find a place in one of my future quilts.

    Oh my gosh Thelma, what a wonderful selection of fabrics,. My stash is a very haphazard gathering of fabrics because when I first started quilting five years ago, I didn't get any advice on how to properly build it up. So...I'm sorely lacking in several color ranges, lights and neutrals being one of them. So I would love be included in this giveaway. Thanks so very much for a chance to give these lovely's a new home...Hugs...

Being a new quilter my "stash" is not one to brag about.

    Thelma..you truly are so generous. I think they would look lovely in a quilt with one other dominant splash of color...I am thinking blue...maybe the new indigo blue that Minnick and Simpson has out. I would have to see it in person to know for sure. But I can envision either a log cabin, or how about Star Blossoms by Cotton Way....oh or how about Milky Way by Fig Tree? I just got those patterns for Christmas...hmmmm you have my wheels turning. My daughter will soon be graduating from her Masters Program, and wouldn't one of those be a great gift...and it would be even more special with a story behind it. Kristy soardkg@fuse.net

    This opportunity could not have come at a better time for me. I have almost depleted my grouping of these "off shades" of neutrals with making 2 quilts. This would make me a happy quilter to replenish my stash without spending and it would make DH jump for joy! Thank for the opportunity and thanks for sharing with other quilters!
