Charm pack on steroids
I cut all of my squares for the fabric swap at See Katie Sew this past weekend while Dave and Jack were at the company picnic. (I couldn't be outside that long.) I ended up with a sizeable pile of squares and scraps leftover, sort of a charm pack on steriods if you will. LOL
Maybe one of you can use it?
There are at least 20 different fabrics (20 for the swap, but I added a few extras), none really smaller than a 5 inch square. Mostly vintage, a few 1930's repros.
You know the drill. Leave a comment. If necessary I will make the trusty assistant draw a name.
Speaking of the trusty assistant, I seem to be turning the corner on this allergy problem and actually slept 6 hours last night, so we are off to the movies! Wooohooo.
P.S. Need ideas on what to do with small pieces of fabric other than quilting? Here are just a few of the things I have done with the 5 inch squares from our last swap.
P.P.S. Sarah from Small Fox wants to do a virtual quilting bee, something I have been wanting to do for awhile now too. She still needs more participants, so if you can play along with us, go let her know!

A charm pack on steriods? How could a girl resist?
I agree! Count me in too.
Sarah, I hope you feel better soon... sounds miserable.
Me Me. Jack. Draw my name!
Sweet! Put my name in please =0)
Yummy. I wanna win!
Of course, I'm interested! What kind of fabric addict would I be if I weren't? :)
I hear you about the allergies ~ I have them too. It took moving to the West Coast to cure me :(
As for ideas for small pieces of fabric: I make little closet satchels. I make a small log cabin block (about 6" or so) you can make any kind of block you like. Then I used a solid square for the back ~ line each piece with muslin and make it into a "pillow" stuffing it with cedar chips & cloves. hhhmmm, I'm having a sewing day today, maybe I'll post a tutorial on my blog.
Please enter my name as well!
Love,
Long time lurker :-)
I am so in need of some small pieces like this! Cute looking fabric. Count me in!
I love charm packs. And ones with vintage in the mix - precious. What could be better?
I would love a chance to win your charm pack on steroids.
Glad your starting to feel better.
If anyone asks though, you have to deny the steroid part. :D
Glad you're feeling better. There should be some kind of help for sick mamas!
Ooooh, count me in too! Glad to hear you're doing better. You are brave to cut fabric while under the weather! I've already had to frog my afghan and have to run spell-check on my blog postings because of brainfog(maybe I need steroids instead of amoxillan).
What movie will you see? My hubby wants to take me to the X-files but I'd rather not.
Molly
Add my name to the list please.
Thanks for the heads up about the quilting bee. I will have to check it out.
Count me in... I can always use more fabric (that is what I tell my husband when I go to JoAnn's;)
All my ideas for small pieces of fabric you have already done, but if I come up with any I will drop you a note.
Me me me!! If there are any left please! I am just getting into this quilting thing. I've made 3 pretty nifty ones so far!

wow for the fabric! :)
YAY for the sleep! woo-hoo!
I'm in! I am glad to hear that you are feeling somewhat better!
Who can resist vintage fabric!!
Ohh vintage fabric? Me me!!
Glad to hear you're feeling a little better at last. A little sleep goes a long way.
Please enter my name too! I would LOVE these! I want to start quilting and these would be perfect.

I'm a fan of a giveaway-and love all of the ideas you've shared! Can you share how you made Jon Bon Jovi!? Feel better soon! xo-Mel
Very pretty fabric! Hope you're feeling better soon!!
Oooo. Pretty. :) I have been hording soft cotton vintage sheets for awhile now. I think I'll cut them up into packs. maybe the mix of fabrics will inspire me!
Oh and can you come over and cute up the rest of my 5 inc squares for my beach quilt? LOL
So glad you're feeling better. I love me some charm packs! Please enter me!!! dlord(at)pinehurstpropertiesllp(dot)com
I was just thinking about making a quilt this year with squares just that size so I would love to put my name in.
I know you're a busy lady but thought you might be interested in a series of books I've just stumbled upon. They are by Jennifer Chiaverini and are all stories where quilts play a part. You just might wander away into quilt land for a few pleasant hours and take your mind off the itching.
Hmm, my original comment seems to have disappeared . . . So:
Pick me! Pick me! I'm ever so smart, and I want to have another packet of fabric that I can look at and fantasize about the day I actually have time to sew something.
Please put my name in the drawing. I would love to win the fabric-- I am trying to make a yoyo quilt- which might be done by the time I am 93 years old!
Commenting! Yay for fabric!
Hope you're feeling 100% soon.
Glad to hear you're starting to get better. Sure would like a peek at that fab charm pack LOL!
Definitely count me in! I hope you kick the poo out of those nasty allergies!!
Count me in! One question though... were those scraps banned from the quilting olympics after they tested positive?
Julie
Thank God for POBoxes
Sarah, I posted one of my sachets on my blog. I'm planning on posting a tutorial in the next several days ~ this is what I do with my smallest pieces of fabric.
Do I need more fabric? Nooooo Would I love that charm pack. You betcha! I hope you're back to your self soon!
