The winners of the Free Table Giveaway are:
1. Cathy who is looking for Bright and Wild fabric. Molly thinks this means lots of smart wild animals like tigers, leopards, cheetahs and lions. I'm thinking that this might mean Negley-like fabrics for a zipper block. (Cathy blogs at Cathy's Crazy by Design.)
16. Kathy E who is looking for pink pigs and other pink fabrics. (Kathy blogs at Hazel's Daughter).
32. Alycia is looking for plaid, pigs and Kaffe. You can see Alycia's quilt blog at Alycia--Quilty Girl and Alycia's photography at Alycia Clicks,
Happily no one is looking for plaid pigs, because I could only find pigs wearing stripes and polka dots. I did find pigs with minions...two fabrics I forgot I had.
So yes, I am having lots of fun plowing through fabric (in all its forms). So much fun that we will be doing this again at the beginning of next month.
And in preparation for the free table giveaway, I decided to finish my fabric move. I had begun to move my flat fold fabric from one side of the dining room to the other (and install the cat tree next to it). I stopped somewhere in between, which meant rather large piles on the table in the middle.
In the midst of the piles was a box of brown fabric that had begun its journey into becoming a quilt...but seriously...I couldn't remember what quilt. And I didn't have anything saved in photos or inspiration to jog my memory. But I did remember that I had worked out dimensions etc so I went through graph paper pads...also without luck. Finally, I found notations in a yellow pad, and yes, Molly is correct that it is pretty much useless scribbles, but it reminded me what quilt it is.
And yes, it was an inspiration from Cathy at Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting that was an inspiration from Sentimental Stitches (where I bought the pattern so its somewhere in my downloads).
Of course, now that it is the beginning of spring, I can't imagine making a brown quilt...so what color will it become?
And yes, because I am a terrible person, I have now chopped off the sheep's toes in the border. If this doesn't scare the sheep to go hide in a pile somewhere, I don't know what will.
Oh! I’m so excited to be one of the winners! Thank you! I do have a question about your sheepses, though. First you make a sheep, cut off its ears and the top of its head for the first border. Then you discard that and cut off the legs for the newer border. Then you chop off the toes and just keep the legs. What happened to the wool, noses and tails? (wink)
ReplyDeleteYeah, our Sane Crazy Cathy is the Mother of all Inspiration, isn't she? I've eyed that quilt, too...
ReplyDelete(Now I've got to get back to slapping my hands so I don't start ANOTHER quilt. Argh.)
And congrats to the winners! I know they're going to be bouncing with glee!
Congratulations to all the winners! Hoeing-out is what I should be doing too, but you know 90% of the fun is finding just the right scrap for a certain block in your newest project, instantly propelling it to the top of the favorite-quilt-ever pile!
ReplyDeletecongratulations to the winners of some fabulous scraps. Oh, the clipped toes look so much better.
ReplyDeleteI'm tickled to be one of the lucky winners of your lovely scraps! Pigs and all things pink!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
I like this border a lot. I would increase the white space in between each rectangle so that each set of four colored rectangles is the same size as a row.
ReplyDeleteA fabric giveaway, unearthed brown fabrics, and a nearly completed Sheep quilt top?! Sounds like you have been SEW busy!
ReplyDeleteSmitty would like a squirrel quilt, please. He’s caught most of the ones at our house.
ReplyDeleteGood for him!
DeleteBrownies are good any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny!! Plaid pigs - now that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove your sheep - they are very wooly ;-)
Congratulations to the winners!! I hope that you have fun your winnings! Love the sheep, I am looking forward to the border and what it will ultimately look like.
