IF THIS POST DOESN'T GET THOSE CREATIVE JUICES GOING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL!! (FABRIC GIVEAWAY)

You will have to excuse me because I am going to drop the "F" bomb!

 Because did somebody say FREE?????

Loads of backing fabric..............................FREE!!!
more backing Fabric...........................FREE!!!
Bad picture but too lazy to go back downstairs and do another one....  FREE!!!!
This is about a yard each...   FREE!!!!
Look at all of these panels with their backing fabrics..............FREE!!!!
Fat Quarter size or larger................ FFFFFFFREEEEEEE!!!!!
Sheweee.....did I say FREE??????

I am sorry, that free word may be offensive to some..........

Now keep in mind that I do not need one more piece of fabric but when you have the disease like I do....you just can't help but say bring it on over (blushing as I am saying this).

This gal calls me up, she found out through a friend that I quilt.  She asked if I would like some or all of her fabric since she was just going to take it to Goodwill.

So I am thinking, if she is taking it too Goodwill........I will do the goodwill jester and take it all off her hands.  (I know, you all are thinking what a saint I am)...HA!!

So I have done my good deed for the day!!!

My mother and two sisters went to Marshall's the other day, outside of Little Rock, Arkansas.....it is a wonderful discount fabric place.  As my sister was going, she text  me and said "We are on our way to Marshall's"....wasn't that mean of her?   Rub it in won't ya!!!

Well...Beverly..........who is rubbing now????

Oh yea...oh yea....doing the dance...doing the dance....

So...which leads me to this....I can't just keep all of this to myself....I will put some fabric in a prepaid envelope...just comment and I will chose a winner in a few days.

  9. I guess I am the first to comment. The spot no one ever wants. LOL Would love to have some of this fabric for the quilt's backings. I make quilts for the Pregnancy Center. I am about out of backing as I just delivered 9 baby and Crib quilts to them.I love Marshalls and have been there many times. It is a treat for the eyes to see all that fabric. They have an online store but only a small amount of what the store has.

You can take a look here and see if you have anthing you would like to donate from free landfall that came your way. Other wise I am happy for any fabrics that I could use in quilting. Here is the link in reference to my breast cancer awareness project I have taken on http://tammytopsewndesign.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2014-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=2
    . I have been just recetnly been diagnosed with breast cancer and I want to do something in return for all the ladies that work so hard to take care of all of the other women like myself. The ones at that facility anyway...Have a great weekend and enjoy your fabrics.

  41. A sewing person can never have too much fabric.....did I say NEVER!!!! I say that the one who dies with the most fabric wins!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Wow, how fortunate are you! I only have one other friend sewing right now, and I've introduced her to quilting so that eliminates my scraps!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Free is my favorite word, especially when it is paired with fabric. It's lovely that you are sharing your windfall.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have never seen fabric at Marshalls. Makes me wonder if the Marshalls in my area is different than yours. Still, good deals are good deals and can help make many quilts. Enjoy!
