See, the more people that enter, the less likely I am to win! hehe. It's that same logic behind buying lotto tickets. Anyway... the giveaway is truly amazing! Some very generous people have kindly given up a huge bundle of FMF FQs as well as some other lovely prizes.
I never managed to secure my own stash of FMF. I have two very coveted scraps sent as part of the 'little help from my friends' scrap swap that Susan organised over on Flickr. We are all making a quilt like this one. The whole swap has definitely bought back the joy of the envelope! So far I have received 5 special packages - each containing pure scrappy goodness! It's the small things :)
Right - please standby for some quilting goodness to come. I have really been working hard! Promise! Hope you all have a truly lovely weekend and remember to take some time just for you! And if you feel so inclined, leave me a comment telling me what you do with all your scraps?? Make gifts? Are they still sitting in a bag? Or how do you store them? I'd love to know!

Hiya, Lara! Scraps- I seem to have a lot of them all of a sudden! Our swap was lots of fun, oh yeah....
ReplyDeleteI buy those paper covered cardboard/papier mache type photo boxes at the hobby store that scrapbookers use- they're not too huge, (about the size of a street shoe box) have a good sturdy feel to them and a great lid. I buy the white ones and sometimes the black ones, but they show dust more. :) They have a little label slot on the front and I fuse a piece of fabric to a bit of a paper and slide it into the slot to show me what color is in each box. I am using 10 right now. I may need a few more once I sort out all my new ones! (They go on sale for $2 a box here, so it's a real deal.)
Good luck on winning the FMF. I entered yesterday, good luck to us both! The odds- are not in our favor. lol
