I have in mind a quilt to make for Lyle, to give him for his birthday (or possibly as a holiday gift, if I don't get it done by his birthday), and I'm going to need some help. I'd like to do my own version of an I Spy Quilt, featuring all sorts of cool things to look at. I'd like the squares to be fairly small though (2 inches or so), with a lot of variety, and buying fabric in a shop means buying at least 1/4 yard of each. So I am appealing to any sewers out there who might have appropriate fabrics in their stash already, and would be willing to send me a small sample of it. Seriously, a 3 inch square of your fabric is all I want. In return, I'd be willing to send you back a few interesting scraps of fabric or I could send money via Paypal to cover your postal fees.
I'm looking for anything with "objects" on it- balls, vehicles, animals, shapes, food, flowers, people, trees, bicycles, clothing articles,- just about anything! Colorful is definitely good, but the overall effect is going to be very colorful no matter what.
Anyone who can help me out will be very much appreciated! Even one square of interesting fabric will contribute to my project in a wonderful way. You can post here with your email address or you can email me directly at daizelsmom@hotmail.com. Thanks so much!
emailing you!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah. totally.

Well, I live close enough that you can just come over and raid my fabric stash. You know I have a whole closet dedicated to fabric you just have to be willing to over look the mess... Let's make a date! I can't believe this is the first time I'm hearing of this since we talk practically everyday!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea.... I'll go stash diving and see what I can come up with.... and I'm happy to donate, be cool to have a part of me with you all (although we've never met, I feel like I know you!)
