Beach Week Giveaway - Day 6

No giveaway week is complete without a bundle of my "waste" fabrics! Those who have been following me for a long time know that my waste fabrics are my most precious fabrics. I use them a LOT.
These are just 3 of the projects that I've used these fabrics  in. 
Estelle Porter
Gene Black
Margaret Griffiths
Here are a few things that previous winners have made with them.

So what are waste fabrics? 
When I dye gradients I have a strip of muslin on each side of the bin to try to help keep the dye from migrating to places where I don't want it. Those strips are about 7" wide and WOF long (40"ish).  Because of the way they are folded and twisted the runoff dye makes some great texture on them. I do not sell them. The only way to get them is to win one of these drawings.

Enter the drawing in the Rafflecopter box below. Comments to this post will not be included. The winner will be notified and announced June 1.

If you haven't entered all of the drawings this week be sure to go back and enter all 6!

Today's giveaway is just like Wednesday's, except that it's a different color. This is 5 shades of a really pretty green in half yard cuts. I'm going to tell you right now that this fabric made it into my stash un-ironed and it's coming to the winner in the same state!

Included with this giveaway is 4 glass magnets, also in green!

Today's giveaway is one of my favorite stash fabrics. I've been "saving" it but it's time for it to go to a new home. The two other fabrics "mostly" coordinate. The darkest fabric is in three pieces but there's at least a yard of each.

Sometimes I dye a set of fabric for something and end up not using it or sometimes I dye the wrong color. Those fabrics end up in my stash. That's the story behind this fabric and the one you will see Friday.  
This is set of 5 half yards in shades of a beautiful blue. This giveaway also celebrates that I'm back to doing glass. While cleaning off the glass table and I found a stash of magnets that I had made. This giveaway includes 2 glass refrigerator magnets for the lucky winner.

Today's giveaway is a fun one for me. If you follow the blog you know that I love to dye vintage cloth napkins and make placemats to match. I wanted to share some of my napkin stash with one of you. This giveaway includes 4 of my favorite vintage dyed napkins and an assortment of hand dyed scraps to make a set of placemats. If it will fit in the envelope I'll include some of the flannel that I like to use for my placemat batting.

It's finally here! Spring has been so rainy and cool here that I've have been looking forward to beach week with my family more than ever so as you read this I hope that I'm sitting on a beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. But I have fun things for you too! 

​There's a giveaway here on the blog every day through Saturday. Drop in here every day this week and enter to win. Winners will be announced Wednesday, June 1.

Every prize package this week has, of course, hand dyed fabric and every day has at least 2 yards of hand dyed fabric! Today's prize has 2 fabrics and there are 2 yards of each! I'm going to tell you right now that this is a horrible photo. Both of these fabrics are deeper and darker and a lot prettier than this washed out photo. Trust me, you want these fabrics!

PictureLap Quilt by Gene Black
It's the last day of the Giving Thanks Giveaway and if you have been following me for a while you know that the last day of giveaways are my most treasured fabrics - my "waste fabrics". These are fabrics that I use as part of my gradient dyeing process. They are strips of muslin that are about 7" wide by full width of fabric. I never sell these and only share them during giveaway weeks. The quilt as left is one that Gene Black made with some waste fabrics that he won. They are my favorite fabrics to use in my own quilts and you can see them in Catena and The Big Green Quilt.

​The image above is just a sampling of some of the fabrics that the winner will receive. 

​Enter in the Raffllecopter box below. Newsletter subscribers and customers get multiple entries but everyone, including casual visitors, gets 1 entry.  The drawing is open through November 29 and the winner will be announced November 30.

Giving Thanks Giveaway - Day 4

11/25/2021

 
hand dyed fabric
Welcome to Day 4 of the Giving Thanks Giveaway! These fabrics (and tomorrow's) are what I call "dye ends". At the end of a dyeing session I will often have dyes left over and I don't like to waste them so I get 2 yards of fabric and pour on the dye. I get some beautiful fabrics from these and they all go straight into my own stash. But it's time to share some of them. I have 2 today and 2 for tomorrow.

Today I have 1 2-yard piece in a beautiful pale gray and another 2-yard piece in pale purple and pink. I could see both of these in the same quilt.

​Enter in the Raffllecopter box below. Newsletter subscribers and customers get multiple entries but everyone, including casual visitors, gets 1 entry.  The drawing is open through November 29 and the winner will be announced November 30.
