GIVEAWAY!!!!!! FY14 Sewing Challenge Giveaway #1 (CLOSED)

I'm long over due to host a giveaway.

I've been toying with the idea ever since I started the FY14 Charity Sewing Challenge.  The kick in the pants I needed to get this part of the challenge underway was an incorrect item I received in my Fabric.com order.  They sent me the wrong thing (and are correcting the issue) and said I could keep it.  BUT. . .I don't really like the wrong item so it needs to go on to a new home.

Ok, enough blather.  Let's see some pics of what's up for grabs.



This is the item I received in error.  It's two pieces of cotton toile fabric approximately 26 x 19 inches in size.  It's nice enough fabric but just not my bag.  It is two odd ball cuts but there are some good images.  I've featured two of the best ones in the pic.  The background color is white (not off white as the crappy pic may suggest).

But that's not enough of a prize for a giveaway, right?

SO, here's where the FY14 Charity Sewing Challenge aspect of this giveaway comes into play.

I've decided every month I'm going to have a giveaway featuring some of the fabrics I used in the previous month's charity projects.

So this month features some of the fabrics I used to make last month's batik dinosaurs.  In fact, this is all the leftover fabric from the batik dinosaurs.



This is a scrap lot.  The lengths range from 3 inches to 20 inches.  The widths range from 11 inches to 44 inches.  Some are in strips that are cut a bit crooked (so will go from 3 inches and get a bit longer as the strip goes along).  Some are odd cuts where you can see where I cut out a pattern piece.  There will also be a scrappy scrap bag featuring very small scraps (useful for paper piecing, covering buttons, little projects like that).

I'm pretty sure two of these pieces were never used in the dinosaurs at all (the bright orange and the dark green next to it).  But I realized I don't really like batiks that much, so why keep two random pieces when they make a better addition to a giveaway prize than just taking up space in my stash.

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

  11. I've been helping my friend collect black and white toile, so that piece would go to her, but as for me, I love those batiks! I've been trying to collect either ginghams or calicos for my stash. Thank you!

  13. This is a great giveaway and I love to paper piece so small bits are fine with me! And I rather like the toile as well. My favorite colors are usually blues and greens, but lately I've been attracted to orange. Thanks for the opportunity! kakingsbury at verizon dot net
