I re-entered the public world of quilting today. Our guild held an auction, and I brought in quite a bit of stuff - fabric, patterns, books, a floor-standing hoop - to auction off to raise money for the guild. My goal was to come home with less than I took. I did it, but barely. The items were auctioned off in such large lots that it was impossible to get just what you wanted. "
No worries," I thought. "
Maybe someone who reads my blog will want some of it."
So, here I am, re-entering the blogosphere today with goodies to giveaway. But it isn't a giveaway. If you see something you want, leave a comment to claim it - first come, first served. I'll try to update/edit the post as things get claimed, and I hope to mail everything out on Monday. I didn't even bring it in the house - took pictures outside and left everything in the car! Here's what is up for grabs:
PATTERNS:
 |
GONE! 3 Wool Applique Patterns - Primitive Pineapples, Thanksgiving Pumpkin and Weather Vane Roosters |
 |
GONE! 3 Bag Patterns - Fab-u-wear Purse, Triple Square Scrap Bags and Having It All Satchel |
 |
GONE! A whole passel of quilt patterns - Little Charmer by Karen Comstock; Bound to the Prairie and Charm Bracelet, both from University Moda; Flying Squares from Cobblestone Quilts; Homeward Bound by Bloom Creek; 24 Batiks by Jackie Robinson; Snappy Scrappy Stars by Augusta Cole; Confetti Stars by Atkinson Designs; Strippy Stars by Prairie Hands Pattern Co; Little Christmas by Donna French Collins; Western Star by Laundry Basket Quilts; Cranberry Sparkle by Lynette Jensen |
FABRIC:
 |
GONE! Five 1/8 cuts of batiks - beautiful, they are too hard to hand quilt through |
 |
GONE - Assorted fabrics - fat quarters of the green with multicolored pins and the light blue stars and stripes, just under 1/2 yard of the golden stars, 9"x36" of the red and white houses/hearts/stars/baskets and scrap sizes of the floral on gingham |
 |
GONE! Any Laurel Birch fans out there? 23" of her Holiday Celebrations (sorry about the shadow at the top) |
BOOKS:
 |
GONE! Do you like to make pillows and cushions? |
 |
GONE! Are you itching to try curves? |
 |
GONE! Something simple (Country Weekend Patchwork Quilts) and something not-so-simple (Feathered Star Quilts) |
I'll be back soon to actually blog - share what's been happening in my life (a lot), and photos of what I
kept from the auction. I've also done a tiny bit of hand quilting lately, working on a quilt for MY BED. Can you believe it?
It's good to be back.
