I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!! And now there are 3 great-grandchildren and another due in January 2019!

Overwhelmed!
I am completely overwhelmed by the response to my scraps GiveAway! Because of this, I will be drawing for a second box of scraps that I have worked to fill the past two days...........not hard.....the ends were sitting in two piles on two ironing boards, waiting to be ironed. Then, I cut as many 6" strips as I can from each and the rest goes into the scrap box!
I would love a box of scraps. I have been slowly working on 4" blocks done in several different block designs all reproductions prints, so these would work very well for me....thanks for the great giveaway.
That is kind of you to share your scraps. I work from my scrap basket for a lot of my small projects and at times it feels like I am using the same fabrics over and over. A little bit of someone else's scraps is like a breath of fresh air. : )
Honestly what quilter doesn`t like(love) another quilters scraps..LOL
