Yesterday was another social day with former co-workers from a quilt shop. When I got home I got my garage ready for one more day of garage sale. My neighbor to the north is having a sale and I found more things when I was cleaning the attic that I needed to get rid of so I'm doing it again. It is supposed to be hot and humid too so I'll be crabby at the end of the day.
That isn't what you want to hear about though if you read my post title, lol! I found these 4 blocks when I was looking through a box and I don't want them. They are 9.5" square. If you would like to win them, comment today and at 11 p.m. CST today I will draw a number and announce the winner tomorrow.
Wow, I can't believe that you don't want them. Normally I don't enter giveaways, but I admire your work so much, I would love to have these blocks! I can definitely envision them in a lovely quilt. Thank you for the chance to own them!!
Well, of course I'd love to have them too!! The weather has been so hot here, I have given up hope for cooler temps. And crabby is just putting it mildly for me in this heat!! Thank you for the chance!!
Hi Wanda, Sorry you have to work in the heat! I have a co-worker who loves the heat so much she went on vacation to even hotter and stickier North Carolina! Not my idea of a good time... I would love a chance for these blocks! Thanks for the offer Vicky F
The hot humid weather we are having would make anyone crabby. On the other hand, winning these beauties would reduce the crabby immediately. They are beautiful and you are wonderful to pass them on (to me...)
Hard to imagine that you don't want to keep these blocks - great colors and so many possibilities for a future project. I would love to have them. I hope your garage sale goes well.
Great blocks! I love the variety of fabrics. Sure looks like some great blocks for you to make into something amazing...but....if you don't want them.....I DO! Thanks for the opportunity to win, Wanda!
So pretty! Would love to win those blocks! Thanks for the chance, and hope the heat doesn't get you down. Not to seem unsympathetic but we here in the Seattle area would sure like some heat this summer...
I have many blocks like this myself, but it would tickle me to have a little piece of you in one of my quilts. I've enjoyed reading your blog for what seems like years. Oh wait, it has been years ;-)
I find that a chilled glass of white wine at the end of the day goes well with crab . Good luck with your sale.
Oh not to worry I think there will be allot of us that are on the crabby heat side so you won't feel along. I would love to win the blocks and make my grandson a cover up quilt for him. The other day he told me that he is bigger now and would like to have sguare blocks without bugs in them. Thanks for the chance Sharon
Of course I can't pass up a chance for some batik blocks from you! It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate. I always find something after a sale too.
This hot, humid weather can make anyone crabby including me. I love those scrappy blocks and have made many of them myself, but it would be a great honour to win a few of yours.
Love your blocks and would love to have them. You are a brave woman to do a garage sale in the midst of summer. It sure does feel good to get rid of clutter though.
I check your blog out on a regular basis and love it and learn from it. I could spend the day "looking" instead of quilting........love the blocks, the colors and creativity AND randomness.........I'm all about that!
I am sending good thoughts your way as you suffer thru an very hot garage sale. I hope you have a box fan so at least you can keep the air moving. The blocks are beautiful!
Those blocks would be a good start on a "community" quilt (which is about the only thing I've been working on this week.) I HATE hot weather, especially when it's sticky.... Hang in there!
Too Hot for a Garage Sale! What a great idea for a giveaway! I would love to win your four blocks! I would make them into a quilted tote bag! Thanks for the chance to win! May you enjoy cooler days!
How could you not want those blocks? I do , I do... most of the time, I love hot weather but that's probably because it's a rarity and not humid with the coastal fog keeping it at bay. Good for you having another garage sale, wish I lived close and could rummage through your rejects!
Girl, you are glutten for punishment doing more garage selling! HA! Yes, you are going to be quite crabby at the end of the HOT day!! But just think that extra money can buy more Studio cutter dies...yippee!
Wow, great wonky blocks, what a great table runner they would make....thanks so much for sharing!!
My goodness, your giveaway has prompted lots of comments!Count me in as I'd love to win these colorful creations of yours. I've become a hermit in this heat so I consider you brave indeed to participate in a garage sale!
I know how you feel about the heat Wanda. The older I get the more I dislike summer. We're expecting hot weather again also. In spite of the heat, I hope you make lots of money at the garage sale!
Of course I'd like to have them too. Whether my name comes up or not, I hope that you come through the day without the anticipated "crabby" just because you could use an unexpected surprise!
I too am getting ready to participate in a flea market this week. Don't feel much like it but it is good to dispoes of things and see them recycled. Would love those blocks!
Wow 53 commenter's ahead of me. That's what I get for not getting to my computer early in the morning. It is always fun to see how many comments you get when it is FREE pieces you give away or asking for a vote on layout etc. (*._,*)
Those blocks are a great find that is for sure.
With your 'sweltering' temps... If you get any traffic at all at your garage sale I am sure your items will sell.
My daughter is having a garage sale at my house as she lives in a condo and can't have sales there. I hope it is cooler when she has it. Since it is going to be so warm again maybe the buyers will be out early and buy everything that they see.
The blocks you are sharing inspire me to make more improvisational log cabins. I look forward to more flowers. Yours are always about 1-2 weeks ahead of ours in mn. Sally in st. Paul
Here's hoping the garage sale left you with lots of new money for fabric! Like rescue dogs, those quilt pieces need a home! I can see a table runner. VermontPines@aol.com
I think they are beautiful blocks! I can't stand garage sales-I hate everyone looking at my stuff and wanting it for pennies. I would rather give it away! Good luck!
Good luck with the garage sale tomorrow and try and keep cool. I would love those blocks - to start a misc. scrap quilt. Thanks for the offer. cindy cke49 at yahoo dot com
I concur with hot and humid = crabby. It was so bad tonight when I left work that not only my glasses steamed over when I walked out the door but my CELL PHONE steamed over!
You know the blocks would have a good home if my number gets drawn!
Beautiful blocks, but I'll pass on the opportunity to win them. I still have the untouched batik strips I bought from you months and months ago. (Yes, I'm ashamed-- they're still sitting, waiting to be used.)
With this hot weather we will all be crabby. Would love to have those blocks. If not I enjoyed looking at them
ReplyDeleteI love those blocks and would love to win them. I can envision them as the centre of a wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe that you don't want them. Normally I don't enter giveaways, but I admire your work so much, I would love to have these blocks! I can definitely envision them in a lovely quilt. Thank you for the chance to own them!!
ReplyDeleteWell, of course I'd love to have them too!! The weather has been so hot here, I have given up hope for cooler temps. And crabby is just putting it mildly for me in this heat!! Thank you for the chance!!
