May Giveaway Day: Happy Scraps
We interrupt this Spring Quilt Market coverage to bring you Sew, Mama, Sew!’s May Giveaway Day! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, follow the link and get lost in hundreds of giveaways from crafty blogs worldwide.
I recently realized most of my giveaways on this site have been books and gift certificates — what kind of self-respecting fabric blog am I? We need some free fabric here. So I did what I’ve been meaning to do for a long time: reduce my overflowing scrap bins.
I made up eight packs, separated by color. And one pack of dots. There is vintage mixed with new in each pack, mostly quilting cottons, but also a few blends, linens, and corduroy pieces. They range from tiny, odd shapes to fat quarters. I had lots of blues so there are two of those.
The Rules! To be eligible to win a scrap pack, please leave a comment here and specify your favorite pack: pink, orange/yellow, greens, blues, purple, brown, dots. What I’m going to do is generate a random number list, and go down the list to pick the first person who specified each pack. So if you don’t say which one you like best, you’ll be skipped over!
As per Sew, Mama, Sew!’s suggestion, the comments will be open through Sunday, May 31, 2009 (10pm Central U.S. time). This drawing is open to anyone in the world. Good luck!
Oh and P.S., sorry for the poor lighting in the photos, we seem to be having a monsoon here in Austin today.

LOVE the green! Living in the woods, I’m surrounded by green out every window and I would love to bring some of that indoors with your lovely fabric. Thanks so much for the generous giveaway!

So beautiful! My first choice would be orange–but I’d also love to have pinks, greens, blues, etc, etc!
I am picking the greens. That apple fabric is too cute. I would pink for second place!
I LOVE green, so that would be my choice. However, my stash could use some Purples too:-)… Thanks for a fun giveaway.

hello and thank you for the giveaway. what a lovely blog you are. DOTS please.
Just one?!? They are all so pretty. I think the oranges win it though.
Wow. Such cute fabrics peeking out of each of those packages. I have to go with my absolute favorite color though and say how much I’d love to win the purples. That was really hard though because the brown has one of my favorites right there on top. LOL
