If more than one person hankers after these fine offerings then I will do a lucky dip name from a hat draw and send the fabric to whoever's name pops out. If no one wants it do not despair and think you need to offer it a home out of pity. The lovely Judith, over at Rags to Bags, is hosting a charity bee in the autumn and she will get some of this fabric regardless to how many people want or do not want it, whatever the case may be. Nothing will go to waste here one way or the other.
The first photo is not up for grabs because it has already been grabbed. By Kat, and I shall be posting this off to Australia once I get my act in gear. She is sending me some of her unwanted goodness. An ugly for an ugly. Though Kat informs me that my fabric is not ugly. Huh?! I beg to differ - though some of it may just be deathly boring rather than out right ugly. I shall let you be the judge.
 |
| Kat's choices to rehome. |
 |
| Lot #1 The very first FQ bundle I ever bought. Some FQs partially used. From a line called Old Fashioned. (That should have been a clue for me!) |
 |
| Lot #2 1 yard of the pink 1/2 yard of the purple 1 panel from a FQ pack that was lovely - other than the panel |
 |
| Lot #3 I thought I would make a boy quilt with this. I never did. 1 yard of each. Would make great cushions for a boy's room. |
 |
| Lot #4 1/2 yard each From a 1/2 yard bundle, the rest of which I could live with. |
 |
| Lot #5 10 FQs not used in any part From those lucky dip buys. Lucky my a**e! |
 |
| Lot #6 More 'lucky dip' FQs. Six, all unused. |
And that, folks, is my destash. Out with the old; in with the new No, you cannot have any of the following. This is mine all mine! Bought this week and received from M is for Make today. You like it? Then it is all one sale right now. Off you go.
 |
| Beautifully wrapped just like it was a late birthday present. Which is what I will consider it to ease my conscience. |
 |
| One FQ of each |
 |
| And a scrap roll full of fabricy goodness. |
Now, I'm off to glare at a zipper.

i like your #6 i am making crazy mom quilts 36 patch quilt along and as i am just starting i have not got too much of a stash and you need quite a bit for this 36er.thanks for the chance if i am lucky or would you say unlucky :)))
ReplyDeleteI like Lot #3 I would make my sons some PJ bottoms with them :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm off to M is for Make. I'm loving your purchases!
And I don't know about Judith's charity Bee, but I like the sound of it!
ReplyDeletei have also been over to m is for make :))
ReplyDeleteMmmm I would say its ugly, just a bit dull. Oh except No 2, that's UGLY.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I could use the rockety stuff for my friends kids - that sort of 1970's colour scheme is still popular here. I'd be willing to offer some of my ugly stuff, but somehow, I don't think you'd want it.
And I forgot to say
ReplyDelete"Don't fear the zipper"
If I can, you can, you're a more skilled sewist than what I am!
xx
there are some prints in two that would fit in with my hexie quilt which is unashamedly old fashioned!
ReplyDeleteIf there a no takers S, I will happily give a home to the pink and blue on either end of the bottom row of Lot 1, and the basket-weave-looking lovelies on the top row... Hell, I'll take all of it if you truely don't want it. I think its pretty cute :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm can I reserve the right to change my mind? After seeing it again I like some of lot1 better. Awkward wee sod aren't I!! And your uglies were posted today miss s. I hope you like it- you'll see why when it arrives. Oh the lengths I went to to save $10 on postage! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat`s one man`s meat is another man`s poison I guess...I would like to go into the hat along with Judith and Dianne for the rocket fabrics as I know someone who would love something made from them. On the others? You seem to have enough takers and I`m sure they will go to good homes or Judith`s charity quilt. Thanks Susan!
ReplyDeletep.s I love M is for Make - lovely fabrics and great service...just for me it`s usually cheaper to order from the States. Weirdly. Your fabric choices are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI actually like pics 1 and 4 - oh dear! I am obviously very old-fashioned! Any thing retro, that's me . . .
ReplyDeletePomona x
What are you talking about!! Lots 1 and 6 are lovely (except that green batik thing on the left of lot 6).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the blue one with roses!
Oh and if Kat's changed her mind about her lot - I love that one too! Those roses on blue...
ReplyDeleteWell done for de-stashing but I'm not going to help you out this time anyway. Looking forward to stash collecting at the NEC!
ReplyDeleteOut of all those lots, I would like offer a home for #1 (I love roses).
ReplyDeleteI like lot 2 and lot 3. Call me weird but I like the colours!
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me. I might do something similar with my stash for the same reason as you. I used to work in Dunelm Mill and I just bought a ton of fabric that was reduced or a great bargain without a real need for it and now here I am 5 years down the line with lots of fabric Ill probably never use.
I'll let yoy know when I do it. You never know you might see something you like ;-)
You know you can use the reverse of fabric if you find the front too offensive. And if you cut them up into approx 1.5 inch strips you can dilute the ugliness very well in string quilts. I know, I've done it!
ReplyDeleteohh if you are left with any that are flowery and have green / red / pink / beige / cream in 'em that'd go with that old bundle I'm using for hexies... lol
ReplyDeletewhat's judiths charity bee? is it open?
Love this post! hilarious! Lucky dip bundles, never seen them but now I will avoid at all costs :) some of the florals aren't tooooooooo bad, if you paired them with other fabrics I think, but I think I'll let the others slug it out for these... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, love your M is for Make goodies, I'm a big fan of the scrap rolls too :)
I'm almost too scared to say I don't think some of those are that bad! (However you'll notice I'm not putting my hand up saying I'm going to offer any a new home!)Kat definitely wins with her uglies.
ReplyDelete:)
No thanks x
ReplyDeleteAaaah, poor unwanted fabric!
ReplyDeleteTo me fabric is like cats,there are no ugly cats LOL!
I guarantee that your 'ugly' fabric would first be adored, then crafted and either worn or made into quilts for Chernobyl Childrens Charity....so any of the fabric would be gratefuuly recieved!
Have a great weekend,
Sandie xx
P.S I love the new fabrics you bought too...maybe in a few months or years, they could possibly be in the 'Ugly' fabric pile...LOL!

Don't know how I missed this post - blogger's been doing funny things lately! I'm happy for anything at all that you choose to donate my friend. Thank you so much Jxo
ReplyDeleteI love the top row of lot 1, and the paler numbers in lot 5&6 and hey, if she's giving it up I think kat's choice is pretty great! In my head there is a lovely hst quilt just waiting for some pretty floral fabrics (And my skills to improve!)
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I like 90% of those??? :)
ReplyDeleteI kind of have a thing for some of the floral stuff!! Mix it with some shocking black, it would look quite classy as a little pouch or stuffed softie!! :0)
