I have filled another USPS Med Flat Rate Box with scraps and since alreadyI have more scraps than I can ever use, I am most happy to give it away! There are even a couple pieces of woolfelt and a Civil War Panel of Grant & Lee! Just leave a comment before midnight Monday, April 22, and you will be entered in my drawing! I will continue to add more scraps this week as I cut for my quilts or reach the end of bolts!!
This is a little quilt from a LONG time ago (1988).....the pattern was for a doll quilt but I have always used it as a runner. The fabrics from that period of time were prone to fading even without direct sunlight (we are most lucky to have the wonderful fabrics we have available today!) but I still love this piece. Now take a look at what is on the back!
We called this fabric "forest floor" and it was a Favorite at the time! In addition to this brown background (very little shows!), it came in blue, black and red backgrounds.....maybe more!
Anyone else have some quilts from the distant past to share?
I think I had Forest Floor in the brown and the blue--and I do remember loving it. : )
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts and your scraps ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow can you ever have too many scraps? hehe
ReplyDeleteI love scraps! lia.vandenbrand@live.nl
ReplyDeleteI had Forest floor in blue. Yes, some of the quilts I made in the early 1980s have faded even without sun. As you said, today's fabrics are great. I'd love to get your scraps for my Grandmother's Flower Garden.
ReplyDeleteWould love more scraps, as I like to do applique!
ReplyDeleteI`d love to play with your scraps.Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI would love some new scraps to add spice to my old scraps. Thanks

ReplyDeleteSmall scrap quilts are my favorites to make so these would be USED!
ReplyDeleteForest Floor is still in evidence in PA in Lancaster Cty. It's often used in quilts for sale in Pa. Dutch country. Still is available on shelves. Love to win the scraps
ReplyDeleteI have just given away 12 bags of scraps for a challenge to make small quilts and auction them for charity later in the year and how wonderful to get the chance to receive yours. Thank you
ReplyDeleteCyndi, you are so generous! Your giveaway would be a treasure to receive. Thanks for the chance! Love your little runner! I started quilting in the early 80's, so a little looking in closets and cupboards will reveal some of my oldies but goodies!
ReplyDeleteLove that little log cabin - and the colours are beautiful. A bit of fading adds an attractive vintage look - we could all use that!? What an amazing giveaway - you have lots of lovely treasures in there.I don't know that Forest Floor fabric but it is a beauty. I'm afraid I wasn't collecting much before 2000.
ReplyDeleteHilda
I had some of the forest floor fabric in navy. I just used up the last of it in a scrappy sampler quilt. I don't need any more scraps, thanks. I just wanted to comment.
ReplyDeleteOooo, I'm squealing with delight. Thanks for sharing your stash!
ReplyDeleteI have a large quilt from the early 90's where one of the fabrics faded out. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteScraps are so much fun to play with. Thanks for the chance.

You can never have too many scraps in my book. I love making scrappy quilts and and use mostly repro fabrics.
ReplyDeleteVery generous of you to share!
Scrap quilting is the best! I started quilting in the late 1980's so I don't have fabrics from the 1970's but I love them. And I love that you write about your older quilts as they always inspire me.

ReplyDeleteI remember having a little make up case made from that Forest Floor fabric. I loved it at the time and still do.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'd love to win another of your treasure scrap boxes, Cyndi, I'm going to recuse myself from this giveaway to give someone else a chance. I continue to use the ones I won from your last giveaway and the stack is getting smaller and smaller.
Whoever wins, I'm sure they'll be as thrilled as I was and still am. Thanks again!
Oh boy, more great scraps. Thanks for the opportunity. So funny that brown backing fabric. I have a quilty friend who has a ton of that exact fabric. She uses it to test patterns now!
ReplyDeleteYour scraps would be perfect for my hexie and applique projects. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe scraps look great, thanks for the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteLove scrappy quilts! I have a few "older" quilts that have faded a lot. One was blue and white--it's now gray and white! We are lucky to have such great and reliable fabrics now.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your quilts, I am inspired to start even more projects than I already have going, rail fence and broken dishes, maybe, and all from reproduction fabrics. I love scraps! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMarca
Such a nice giveaway. I have to laugh. The last fabric you showed was the fabric I used in my first quilt. I told my mom I would make her a quilt for her anniversary and she could pick out the fabric. She chose 5 fabrics. Never having made a quilt before I didn't know how much to buy...so I bought 10 yards of each...LOL You know what I still have some of that fabric. Hugs, Cathy
ReplyDeletei would love to have your scraps thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteI remember the brown flower print fabric, either that or one similar. I liked it so much, I made a shower curtain with it. That would have been somewhere between 1981-86. I would love to be able to add some of your scraps to mine.
ReplyDeleteI love everything I see on your blog. I have a feeling your fabric closet and mine are very similar! I would love to win your scraps because I am sure I would lover every single one of them.

ReplyDeleteGreat group of scrap fabrics. Hope to win. Nancy P.
ReplyDeleteLove your little log cabin Cyndi, and no, I never had any forest floor fabric, that came out before I started collecting quilting fabrics. I do have a little of the 80s cotton fabric and it has faded terribly. Thank goodness for better quality fabric nowadays. I would love to be the recipient of your box of scraps, it would be like Christmas, only better :)
ReplyDeleteForest floor was certainly very popular. I still have a piece in blue. This is certainly a fantastic giveaway and I'm hoping you draw me.

I love your quilt! Scraps are such fun to play with! I could use a new selection to add to my current project. I'm creating a second Lancaster Diamond Sampler quilt ... and its complimentary square on point in order to complete the three-sister quilts.

ReplyDeleteHi Cyndi,
ReplyDeleteYes, I know I had Forest Floor in brown and blue. Because it was multi-colored it worked well with so many other prints. Always enjoy seeing your little quilts on your blog and in your shop. Very inspiring. Would appreciate the opportunity to be included in your drawing for your wonderful scraps.

Love your quilts and fabrics, was at your shop on Saturday. Glad to hear that Forest Floor fabric is still available in PA. I used that fabric alot only have a small piece left - saved for a charm quilt. Terry
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the visit to your shop last week while "hopping", would love to add the box of goodies to my stash.....heck I would even jump in the car and pick them up (it would be a great excuse to visit you shop again, lol)!
ReplyDeleteI am collecting "bricks" for a charm quilt....queen sized....so scraps are good!
ReplyDeleteThat forest floor fabric is a favorite from the past--I know I still have some in blue and maybe a bit in green.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind offer to send that box on. Looks like a box of goodies for a lucky winner. Fingers and toes crossed.
I saw Jo Morton and some of her little quilts on a tv episode of Love of Quilting. I am making one for myself --hoping to make lots of little quilts so my sewingroom looks like the walls of your quilt shop! I'd love a chance to win your latest scrap box.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
