Anybody out there?

I've been terrible about posting on this blog and commenting on other blogs the last couple of months (or is it years?). Without going into details, let's just say my life is very, very crazy and I feel totally out of control on a regular basis.  But...I'm trying to focus and time manage and all the things that will make it better.

So it's with a bit of trepidation that I say, "I'm back".

Part of getting it all back together is sorting and clearing out some of the "stuff" I have around.
There will be a couple of giveaways in the next few weeks.

Up today:
Bright Scraps
Bright scraps from the making of my Rainbow Jane quilt.
These scraps weigh about a pound, which means it's around 3 yards worth of scraps.

How to enter:
1. Leave a comment over here telling me what you'd do with these little scraps for one entry.
2. Post about the giveaway on your blog, if you have one, then come back here and leave another comment telling me you did so, with a link to your post, for a second entry.

This is a quick giveaway.
Comments will close at 7am PDT on Monday July 2nd and I will draw the winner soon after that.

  4. Beautiful fabrics. I would use them for my "Aunt Millie's Garden" Quilt. I have two blocks done, but have a serious lack of bright colors in my stash, so haven't made any more progress!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Considering the fact that I just shipped out 13lbs of scraps to someone else I should not even enter your giveaway. However (!), I love those bright colors and I don't have anything like them in my scrap bag. I am trying to get away from the standard colors I always seem to use and use more bright colors in my quilting so please throw my name in the hat. Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  6. That looks like stars waiting to happen for a baby quilt to me!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Yes, somebody is here who would love to win your giveaway. I could use this fabric in a variety of ways but a quiilt top would be the way to go for sure. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Pick me! I'd use it in a quilt for my little girl!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I would add these beautiful fabrics to my collection of rainbow charms from a few swaps I have entered recently, and make a few awesome rainbow quilts!

  18. I am so excited to enter this giveaway. Scraps are my passion! They would definitely end up in a scrappy quilt, most likely a child's quilt. I love using brights with a white background!

    ReplyDelete

  20. Lovely scraps! I would combine them with all my rainbow charms to make a few rainbow-themed quilts, of course :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I've been separating my scraps by colour to make a scrappy log cabinish quilt similar to the ones made by Jenny of Down to Sew - these scraps would be the perfect addition - thank you for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Welcome back!! Sorry that things have been crazy, but hope they are turning around. I love scraps so much and I am dying to make a bottled rainbow scrap quilt. This lovely bundle would put me well on the way! Thanks for the chance to win!

  24. what a beautiful giveaway. It has been such a pleasure to follow you doing your quilt. Amazing

  25. Those fabrics fit perfectly into my favorite color palette - brights! I'm currently working on a couple of sampler type projects using brights. These would fit right in.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'd probably put them to play with my AccuQuilt Go. It seems more practical to cut yardage than use them on the AccuQuilt.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love those colours, and I love scraps. Please include me,

    Thank you

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love the bright colors! I think I would make a flying geese color wheel block with these.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'd use them in my calendar quilts. They are so cheerful.

  47. Sorry, sorry, something wrong happened with my comment (?)
    I just wanted to say thanks for such a gorgeous giveaway. I'd be THRILLED if being the lucky winner, and would immediately use them in my own Rainbow Dear Jane, as I sometimes have difficulties to find the right jewel tones.
    Now crossing my fingers AND toes, HeHee... yet good luck to everyone!

  48. I would love those bright scraps for my scrappy spider web blocks. I've made so many baby and kid quilts in brights in the last few years that my stash is really depleated of brights. Those brights would really "brighten" up my spider webs!

  55. I just moved into a two-story house with a large entry-way(lots of bare space)...I'm working on a couple of wall-hangings to cover the bare spaces. On one wall I'm hoping to do a large scrappy star quilt...so I would love to add these scraps in with what I already plan on using.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I am making lots of zipper bags. I love them. The blue and turquoise could be part of a new quilt I am working on.
    The book "Spectacular Scraps" has all half square triangle quilts. It is a cool book. I would love to win these fabrics! Thank you for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  57. LOL, I know what I would be doing with those scraps, I would be using them on my own Rainbow Dear Jane which is in very slow progress.

    We all get busy and sometimes it's easier to drop all the online stuff to get things done.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think I'd make a little scrappy wallhanging with appliqued flowers and silly embroidery. Love the summer feel of your scraps!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Love the bright colors. I just read a tutorial for a chevron quilt and these colors would go great with that.

    ReplyDelete
  85. The majority of my personal quilting is focused on charity quilts and your brights would work well with some kid friendly fabrics I have in my stash, for the intent of another charity quilt. Yes, that is what I'd do with these yummy fabrics.
    But, whomever wins them will surely create something beautiful.
