The Great International Stash Busting Giveaway

OZLYNDA IS THE WINNER OF MY GIVEAWAY!
THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU WHO ENTERED AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK AND REVISIT SOME OF THE NEAT BLOGS I FOUND WHILE BLOG HOPPING!!

Katy, from I'm a Ginger Monkey is hosting an International Stash Busting Giveaway. I must admit I have a little bit of fabric stashed away. There is a list below of the other participants and a picture of what I have decided that I could live without. Do you know how hard it is to part with a piece of fabric?? I have some fabric that I know I will never use but I love to just take it out every once in awhile and gaze at it. Does anyone else do this? Surely it's not just me with this crazy obsession with fabric. Anyway, here is the list of participants, so go and check out there blogs and enter to win their giveaways.

Hurry, because it is a one day, February 4, event.
I'll have my lovely assistant, Mallory, draw a name on Thursday morning, Feb. 5.

I 3 different sets. There is a yard of each of the first 3 fabrics that could go together for a project, then there is a yard of the blue with sunfloweres and a fat quarter of the yellow for another little project and then 20 5x5 squares of the each of the iris prints.

Lovely photos of your new grandson and of your family at the bottom of your blog. :D

Ohhh there are so many pretty stash piles out there in the blogosphere today. Love what you have in yours, especially the blue and in the yellow. Hubby is so pleased that I participated in a stash busting giveaway, but, if lady luck smiles on me and a busted stash comes here.... I can hear it now, oh the hippocracy of it all ayama-chan..... Hmmm now for a cuppa and a read while I wait for the pixie to wait. :D

Purple Paisley Patch said...

Gorgeous skin to skin photo of your newest grandbaby and his mummy. You must be so proud!
Your fabric is lovely too, and I probably spend more time admiring my fabric than I actually do creating!!! But hey, the fabric itself is worth some admiration. Please enter me in your giveaway. I love it all, but if you are splitting it up my preference would be for the iris charm squares. I'm giving fabric away too, so drop by and take a peek at the Purple Paisley Patch. :-)

Hi, I'm looking (and longing!)for bright and shiny fabric for the blankets I often make for the children of orphange Almaz Ashene, in Addis Ababa Ethiopia were my youngest son lived before we adopted him. We will visit Ethiopia at the end of 2009 and I will bring the blankets myself.
Bye!

Awweee your grandson is adorable. Grandchildren are just the best thing EVER! (I have 7)

I would love to win your fabrics. I too covet certain fabric pieces and just will not part with them. I always think that I will be hit with the brilliant idea of what to use them for and I would be oh so sad if I had gotten rid of them.

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway and for sharing your precious grandbaby with us.
