It seems that everyday I plan to get in my sewing room something comes up and I have to CHANGE MY PLANS,
dratts!!
Of course, Monday was Labor Day...did get some sewing done inbetween resting (a gal needs her rest)..... Tuesday I get a phone call and was asked to hem a long dress with a lining.......out of practice but okay, that is doable.
So....since Monday I have been working on these....I have 196 of them so far. This will be a comissioned quilt and she wanted blues and browns....
Here they are on my (clean) design floor..... I really think that taking a picture of a quilt before putting it together helps with block placement...I see now that this will not be how I will do it but hey, this is just for your benefit...
Yesterday I made these for my little gals at church to keep a journal of all of their projects and ideas for their Young Woman Values. Can you guess which ones were more popular?
While you are guessing.....I decided since Fabric.com was so generous to me that I would share some of the shopping fun with a giveaway.......
For one lucky person I am giving away a $25.00 shopping spree to Inchworm Fabrics...she is having an awesome sale. Shipping is part of that 25.00 unless you want to just buy fabric and pay for the shipping yourself.
So ask yourself...."DO YOU FEEL LUCKY"
JUST LEAVE A COMMENT HERE TELLING ME WHAT FABRIC OR FABRICS YOU WOULD BUY FROM HER STORE. YOU MUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION TO QUALIFY....SO GO AND VISIT HER STORE....AND THEN COME BACK TO ME.
Yaw come back now ya hear!!!

Too many fabrics to choose from....but, I do like Fandango Canto Ole. I have something for the color orange lately.
OOOOooo!!! The NOBU FUJIYAMA is stunning. Thank you for the chance Barb. ;)

Cute notebooks. My granddaughters would probably like the brights. If I won the gift certificat, I would get the Samoan jelly roll. Oh, and very cute patterns Barb.
I feel lucky! I'd buy a couple Amelia charm packs and maybe some of that one Oxygen fabric that has the green circles on it. Emily's into green polka dots and she'd love something made with that! Thanks for the giveaway! :0)
I just LOVE the Batiks from Inchworm! I would probably buy all the purples and pinks!
Barb, I am guessing those girls loved the lady bugs! I visited Inchworm Fabrics, and I love the "oxygen" fabrics for a tote for me, and I'm ready to click on those panels she has reduced --- they'd be great for my crisis center blankies! Thanks for the chance to win!
She has so many lovely fabrics it's difficult to narrow it down to just one. I love the Sweet Divinity Main, the Kona Bay Pink Flowers, and the AA Stripe. PS: I love that you are on day 5 of not buying fabrics. LOL
Well, I'm totally in the mood for autumn, so first, I'd buy Hike in Woods Leaves, Love U lotsa Dots Orange, Solid Orange, Cream and White leaves, and maybe Bees Yellow Leaves. =)
Thank you for a chance to win!
Wow, today I`m lucky girl so I chose Countdown to Christmas and some red Solid.Thanks for the giveaway.
You have been very busy! I saw a couple nice panels and I really like the Kanji tonals. I also saw a few jelly rolls that would look good at my house.
I love the Aster Manor Gentry Linen.
Love your notebooks!! I would buy Fandango such cute fabric!
Lovely covers. I want a cover for my recipe book. I would love the batiks, or may the alphabet panel to make a soft book or a quilt for my 2 year old.
Oh, and thank you for the chance :)
Awesome give-a-way. I would love to have some of the batiks. Have a great day.

I like Bees but Hanemai Black is pretty hard to resist. Thanks for the chance.
I have a Fandango jelly roll that I want to use for a postage stamp quilt, so I would probably choose some Fandango yardage for backing and binding. The only question is which fabric? They are all so nice! Maybe I would say just surprise me and use what I get!

Sharing the love! thanks Barb! I would snatch up one of those darling Somoan jelly rolls. Love them!
Samoan jelly roll, I think. I love the journal covers you made. Very lucky ladies.
I like Amelia Charm Pack. Thanks for the chance!

I think Civil War Homefront is what I would pick. I have never visited Inch Worm Fabrics before. Lots to look at.

Thanks for the giveaway!
So many wonderful things to choose from but I think I would pick a couple charm packs of Amelia and a couple of Meadow Friends. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
I would buy a jelly roll of Peace Flag!
I think I would either buy some batiks or a jelly roll. Such a decision! Thanks for a chance.

Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
Uhhhhh....Bunnies! That was easy! hee,hee,hee. :)

If I am so fortunate as to win the gift cert, would look at Civil War Homefront, or Amelia charms, or the Oriental Fat Quarter Bundle.
Thanks for sharing...!
I like the Lily and Will Jelly Roll Blue.....i wanted try the jelly roll race quilt.....
Enjoy
Oh dear Barb.... you are so bad sending me to pick out my favorite fabric..... it was hard but I really like and would probably purchase "Evening Mist, Twilight Mauve"... love it!!
I have to guess the Lady bugs and butterflies.
I would get some Hike in the Woods leaves, if there is any left. Also Aster Manor Yellow Floral and Bees Yellow Daisy and Bees Pink Daisy and Lady Bug Yellow with Strips.
So hard to choose! The Oriental Fat Quarter Bundle is calling my name. But I also like the Prayer Flag jelly roll and charm pack.
I love the Kyoto Patchwork Brown Could see some cute purses out of it. The Samoan Jelly roll would be a great quilt, and the Santa's could work in a table runner with a couple added fabrics. So many choices.
So many choices! Probably the Oriental Fat Quarter bundle and a charm pack on the side.
Just got back from a trip to Inchworm Fabrics. (grin) I love the Arnold's Attic charm packs. A couple of those would make a wonderful little quilt. I am sure I could find something to go with them. Great giveaway.
I'm stumped. I can't choose between whether the animal print or the dots were most popular. I'm thinking teens would go for the animal prints. :) Thanks for the generous giveaway. I'd most definitely pick up the Moda Prayer Flag precuts.
I love the Amelia Charm Pack!
Thanks for the chance :D
Hi Barb, Just have to go in this one, I love the "Bees Yellow daisy" and the others that go with it, but as I had to choose only one this is it
Your collection of Blues and browns looks great.
I have a fall wall hanging pattern that the Hike in Woods Leaves fabric would be perfect for. Thanks for a chance.
What a great giveaway! I love the Ameilia charm pack!
Quilting by the River
I would buy some Amelia charm packs!
I saw way too many things i liked, lol.
I was looking at the panels for kids, those would be great for charity quilts, so I might get a few of those and some precuts.
Debbie
I haven't worked with batiks yet (What?) so I would get a selection. And in autumny colors. Thank you for the giveaway.
I would go for some of those wonderful batiks.
I love your blocks. I always think those make such great quilts - simple and stunning. The journals will be a great idea for the girls.
I'd buy solid black & white to go with print fabrics I have. Thanks for a nice giveaway!
I would love to buy some Amelia charm packs!
I like Oxygen DNA and Lilypad. Thanks for a chance to win and for reminding me to check out her shop.
I would also love some Amelia charm packs :) Thanks for a sweet giveaway!
There are so many goodies to choose from...It's really hard. I'd go for the Oriental Fat Quarter Bundle.
I LIKE THE 'PRAYER FLAG' JELLY ROLL!
THANKS SO FOR SHARING!
jldouglas@wispwest.net
I think I would buy some Fandango, to go with what I already have, but thats today it could be different tomorrow
I think I'd buy several of the panels. There are so many of them, and I could combine them with some fabrics from my stash and make some charity quilts.
love the fabrics!! My favorite are the Fandango prints - the teal & grays ... thanks for the chance!
I like the Amelia charm pack and Countdown to Christmas. Thanks for the giveaway!
I've been wishing I had a Prayer Flag jelly roll. There are some good books there, too!
I am commenting for Illene, she contacted me saying she could not comment....so if you see this Illene, you are #63..thanks for letting me know!!
I would select some Meadow Friends charm packs! Such fabulous colors!
sorry, Illene is #64...I hadn't posted the one before her when I posted hers...sorry
Ooh, I just have to have some of that Hanemai line. It is just gorgeous. Thanks for such a lovely giveaway.
I need some of those stripey batiks! Gorgeous!!
Thanks for the chance. :D
I think some countdown to Christmas would be quite handy just about now. Thanks for the chance:)
The Winter Wonderland panel is so cute! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would get Countdown to Christmas. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would probably buy some charm packs-Amelia maybe.
Lots of great stuff happening under your needle as usual, Barb! I love Prayer Flag and have one charm pack already, but would love another. Also the book Little Lone Stars interests me. Thanks for having a nice giveaway!
Oooh, I want the mauve tigers fabric!!
Button up Bears looks nice.
Batiks, for sure, Barb! I love those strips that she has. Thanks for counting me in.
I'd love the Amelia charm packs!
I just love her oriental fabrics. I think I'd start with Nobu Fujiyama Peach and work around that. But I do see that the Somoan Jelly Roll is still listed...
Hi Barb!
If I won, I'd order the Oriental Fat Quarter bundle! I am collection oriental fabric for when I can start my Clam Shell quilt! Thanks also to Inch Worm Fabrics!
Take care, Leslie
Red Mika Peonies really grabbed me. Now I'm going back to look a little more~~
Love the Asa Collection- Mauve Tigers!!
rjwhiggins@aol.com
Love the "Bees Yellow Daisys"... but all are very fun and nice! Thank you
I would spend the whole $25 on one item: Lily and Will Jelly Roll Blue. I just love it!
Jittina, the Netherlands
I have never had a charm pack and would like the arnolds charm pack. It looks beautiful for fall.
The Oriental Fat Quarter Bundle but its very difficult to choose.
I would get a Samoan jelly roll, or maybe some Summer Damask in pink.
I love the white butterfly receiving blanket! That would be a great gift for my cousin who is expecting in November!
jinglesells at gmail dot com
I think I would choose Fandango or some of batiks. Thanks for a chance to win!
If I won the $25 certificate (wouldn't that be nice!) I would be able to get a half jelly roll and an Amelia charm pack, and still have some leftover to get some Henemai black AND some purple batik - what a bargain!! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would choose some of the Aster Manor yardage and the Double Take book. Or maybe some of the batiks. What a hard decision! Thanks for the chance to win.
Given the quantity of fabric I already possess, I would prefer a book or pattern - like Double Take. Fabric I would choose a pre-cut like the Amelia charm pack or the Samoan jelly roll.
I love the look of the Prayer Flag jelly roll, the cream and white falling leaves fabric, the Arnolds Attic charm packs, the ... well, you get the idea I'm sure.
I would like to get the Somoan Jelly Roll. The fabrics look fabulous & would make a gorgeous quilt! Thanks for a great giveaway! :)
