A GIVEAWAY IS A GIVEAWAY...RIGHT?

There are so many wonderful giveaways out there and here is one more...yep one more. May not be as wonderful but a giveaway is a giveaway. So below is some batik fat quarters, an applique pattern (rooster pattern) I decided I will never make it so why not do like Pat did over at her blog and just give away something that will just lay around for ages. Then some fabric markers.


This is not the quilt top I had wanted to give away. Infact, I had two quilt tops to giveaway but.....they are going in a different direction......so I came up with this quilt top. It is so adorable and it is hand stitched, not by me....got this at a garage sell....

It just needs a wonderful owner to quilt it....I have had this for several years and planned to hand quilt it but you know what, I don't think I would get around to it anytime soon....so enjoy!!!

Just leave a comment. Giveaway will end next Friday the 17th.....

That's a pretty quilt top. Goes to show you never know what you might find at a garage sale :)


I agree with you...if you aren't going to use it, might as well give it to someone who will. No sense leaving things around taking up space and collecting dust.
