Happy New Year Scrap Busting Give Away

217 comments
Have you heard about the 2012 Sew Scraps Along at Jodi's Pleasant Home blog? Today Jodi is kicking off her month long of giveaways, tutorials, ideas and more and I'm her first guest designer using my tutorial for a Picnic Quilt.
If you are a regular reader you will be familiar with my scrap busting Picnic Quilt tutorial. We used this tutorial for my family quilt retreat last year. If you are a new reader, my free tutorials are on the right sidebar. January is a great time to clean out your scraps and make a quilt for summer.I keep my scraps in a (clean) trash bin under my cutting table. When I have scraps I just throw them in the trash bin and then recycle them in other quilts or give them away.
If you want to participate in the scrap giveaway here or at Jodi's blog, leave a short message and make sure your name and contact info are included.
LinkI've loaded up a scrap bag for giveaway with some very recent and some distant scraps/pieces.
I've even included some of the scraps from my Row by Row PKM quilt.
I'm also including a Japanese Quilt book by Suzuko Koseki with my bundle of scraps. If you are interested in receiving my scrap bag and the book, head over to Jodi's blog for instructions and leave a comment here with this post.

This post will run through the entire week. Saturday January 7 at midnight MDT is the deadline to leave a comment. I will post the winner for the giveaway Monday January 9.

It is a new year people and time to clean things out and use up those scraps and good intentions.

Happy New Year, Nanette! I can't help but comment...Jenny hassled me over the holidays about how much fabric I have in my stash...but it would be fun to have some of your scraps. When we shopped the quilt shops over the holidays your name came up...as in..."This is Nanette's style"
Looking forward to seeing all your projects in the new year.

I am a new quilter and I have no scraps to make your lovely quilt with....yet! If I have to I will get yardage and cut them up - I have the perfect spot for a picnic quilt!

I would love to help you out with your scrap clean-up. Scrap quilts are definitely my favorite, and I can imagine several patterns I could make merging your scraps with mine. Thanks for a chance to win and sharing your cute pattern.

I am also collecting scraps, would be nice to make a scrappy quilt like yours.

Teri said...

Scrapbags from someone else are the best gift in the world! I appreciate all the great things you post about on your blog.

Some people may think that the grass is always greener in someone else's yard, but I am convinced that the scraps are always better in another quilter's stash. I'm pulling out my scraps to make your tutorial and would love to have your scraps come and play with mine.
