Blue Scrap Giveaway!

Madison, scrap sorter extraordinaire

As you can see the blue scrap bag is overflowing! Today my granddaughter Maddy came over and helped me go through my scraps. She was just as bad as any quilter....."let's give this one away, oh keep that one, it's my favorite."


As you can see there is a lot!


She wanted to do a yoga pose with her embroidery thread......as you can see the fabric is as tall as an almost 7 year old.
She wanted to do the give away....uh her rules, so get ready........

##1

A scrap we found that looked like the number "1".....

#2

She took random.......

#3

pictures....

#4

in my sewing room...........

#5

and around....


the house.....

#6

can you tell.......

#7

from the angles?

#8

So vote for your favorite......

#9

quilt and you could be a winner!


For some reason she needed a picture of this too.

Leave a comment and a vote for your favorite quilt and some how or other there will be a winner! Maddy will pick the name on Wednesday August, 6. I promise you a nice big box of all kinds of blue scraps, some big and some small, some dark, lights and mediums, hand dyes and more.
Thank you for the indulgence, I love to promote creativity!
The Giveaway is now closed.

    Hello. I vote for #9. I like that little quilt,I like the reflection of one in the mirror and I like that you can see a little of Maddy in the other mirror. I love scraps and blue is my favorite color. Thanks for the chance.

    I like the colors of #7. I'd have voted for #10, but it didn't have a number (I'm impressed with anyone who has neat fabric!)

    I love blue in all its shades. Have since I was a kid. I do not know how to pick one quilt as a favorite, but if it must be just one I say #2. I love the randomness and the colors. I am not good at random. LOL
    The pictures of Maddy and the scraps are great. She looks like a fellow fabric lover to me.

    I can't get over how adorable Maddy is - and so much personality! I'm torn between #5 and #8. I love the blues in #5 but my vote is for #8 because I think it was a creative response to our guild challenge that year.

    #8, hands down! Have we seen that one before?
    What a fun giveaway idea! I rarely enter them because I already have a healthy stash, but it might surprise you that I have very few blues ~ so I'm in! Thanks for the summer fun, Kelly & Maddy

    I love the Pink/Blue hearts and I normally do not like hearts at all! I've been making a lot of string/scrap quilts lately so the blues would be a great addition to my string bags!

    Now who wouldn't want a cutie patootie helper like Maddy?? Blue is her color!! I ALSO look good surrounded by blue!! (hint hint) ha!

    Ok, I'm torn between 5 & 8. I'm a bird watcher/lover so I was immediately drawn to the sweet birdies, but when my eyes saw # 8 they
    screamed CANDY CANDY!!!………but then there's # 7…….swwoon!

    My vote is #9! Love the colors and the simplicity of the "Love" quilt! Maddy's photos are better than most of mine and you are so lucky that you have a helper- all I hear, is "Mommmmmmmmmm, can you get your fabrics out of the playroom?"

    I like #7, no, wait, #9. OHHHHHH. I can't decide. I like them both. I wish I got to spend time with my granddaughter but I hardly ever get to see her. Maddy sure looks like she's having a great time! Thanks

  41. DianeJuly 30, 2014 at 1:05 PM

    That would be hard to choose, because they are all lovely, but I really like the one of someone peeking around the corner in the mirror. You must tell Maddy that she is super talented with both fabric and camera!

  48. RachaeldaisyJuly 30, 2014 at 5:28 PM

    I think Maddie will be ready for her own blog soon, I like her style! It's so hard to pick a favourite but if I really had to I think I'd pick the one with Our Lady in a heart because that was the quilt I saw on Flckr and led me to your blog. If my name is chosen you can give my vote to Suz of Patchwork and Play, I have an overflowing scrap bin that really needs a good sorting out.

    I love #5! I too have a grandchild that hangs out in the "studio". He's almost 5, but a prolific sewer! Sits on my lap with his hands on mine while "he" sews and yells "PIN!" at the top of his lungs so the machine stops and he takes out the pin and puts it in the pin cushion! I think the blue scraps would be a wonderful project for a bird quilt like yours! Thanks for the chance to win!

    It's so hard to pick. I love all of their scrappy happy themes! I guess my favorite would be the house quilt with the very fashionable lady of the house. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. My granddaughter and I need more scraps to play with! (Actually I sew and she plays - she is four). She would love a pile like this cover herself with.

    The last thing I need is more fabric but I can't resist all that blue. Given that it's summer, my favorite is #3 - the beach chair and umbrella.
