impromptu GIVEAWAY!!!!!

The husband and I have been working in the garage all morning.. going through boxes and boxes of stuff that we never unpacked when we moved 5 years ago.

I came across a box of fabric from "back in the day" - and based on what was in there, this was before from when I was pregnant 11 yrs ago!!

And rather than move it across 10 (or so) States - I would rather stuff it all in a flat rate box and mail it to one of you.

Now keep in mind - this was before I understood the value in quilt store flannel. So this is all from JoAnns and/or Walmart. Still adorable.. and perfect for receiving blankets or burp cloths. There is a lot of yardage.

And... to a second lucky winner - I'll send these two books. They have recipes and instructions for layering recipes in jars. I'm sure you've seen them before. The books are a little bent from being in a box for the last decade.. but otherwise in perfect shape.

To Enter - Just leave a comment... that's it... no extra hoops to jump thru. Giveaway ends Thursday morning at 6am Pacific Time.

Now I'd better get back to the garage before the husband comes looking for me.

    I'm not a fabric snob; most creations made far surpass the 'where did you buy the materials' question. I am kept busy with 9 grandbabies to quilt for and now the children's friends are also having babies so...I keep up the giving away what I make for the most part...it is all part of being a quilter...:)

    What fun to discover things we've forgotten .. and of course, one gal's "finds" are another's treasures! :) Flannel looks cute.

    Good luck moving! I can't imagine moving across states. Moving from city to county was more work than I would like to admit. Especially the fabric. I had to get rid of some for the move. SO would LOVE more to add to my stash.
