“Oh, by the way, Tuesday morning I’m going to the accountant
so I’m going to need all of your financial information for your business stuff over the past year.”
So instead of publishing a tutorial, I’ve been playing with Excel spreadsheets today.
(Just what everyone wants to do during the Christmas season!)
I feel like I’m doing a bit of a bait and switch. Sorry.
Watch for the tutorial Tuesday afternoon. 🙂
I keep thinking I’m going to make something with them,
but I’m not.
It’s time to let them go.
These are small remnants,
but there’s probably enough to piece a quilt top from them.
So if you want them, let me know.
If more than one person wants them, I’ll use our favorite random number generator.
And there’s a second set. These pieces were all left over from cutting kits.
They’re all roughly 8″ x 3″.
I’m going to get rid of this set too.
Let me know if you have a preference.
See you Tuesday!
In the meantime, I’ll be pretending I know something about accounting.
Have a happy weekend!

December 11, 2009 at 7:03 pmWonderful scraps — I think I'd like the first set, but either is fine. Thanks for the chance!

December 11, 2009 at 7:04 pmMistletoe Manor was my first fat quarter tower. Mom was so excited when I started quilting, so she sprung for a stack for a Christmas gift. Still one of my favorite collections!!

December 11, 2009 at 7:25 pmI always find uses for awesome scrap pieces! Would love them too!

December 11, 2009 at 7:39 pmFunny that you are doing the accounting thing now. I have been thinking about how many more weeks to go until I really need to get going on that. I usually put it off until the second week in January. Don't really enjoy doing it. It looks like you have been able to get some things accomplished for the holidays any way. Too bad about the Transformers. I have done that too.

December 11, 2009 at 8:00 pmI would love your scraps. I am trying to make some quilts for little girls in the community whose dad's lost their jobs. For christmas the church got them new baby dolls and all the ladies are making different things for the dolls. I am making blankets!

December 11, 2009 at 8:22 pmGreat scraps! I'd love to have those to make into something. I'd prefer the first set if I have a choice, but either would be fine by me! Thank you! :0)

December 11, 2009 at 8:54 pmOOHH, I'd love them! A quilt "just like yours" would be splendid! For some reason, I'm not familiar with that line, I love the pinks in the whole mix. Man, I feel like a little begger! Thanks tho'.

December 11, 2009 at 10:02 pmI love scraps! How generous of you right before the holidays! I wanted to make a Christmas quilt for my brother-in-law who is serving in Iraq, but never got to it, So if I win maybe I'll end up making one and using it next year as a thank you to him:)

December 11, 2009 at 10:45 pmI amazingly don't want to be in the running for the scraps, so if by some odd chance the random generator picks me, feel free to try again. (I have a LOT of scraps of my own that I need to pass on to someone else who would love them). However, the whole transformer episode cracked me. Too funny. <br /><br />When I first started our web business I was determined to learn Quickbooks. After

December 12, 2009 at 12:20 amOh Amy… either EITHER bundle would be so welcome here, and put to good use, I might add! I'm drooling just thinking that the matching and guesswork has already been done for me!<br /><br />And accounting… yeech! I think I'd simply rather think about all those lovely scraps up for grabs! Quilt math is the only way to go!<br /><br />Be sure to pop over my way for a Chriatmas giveaway…

December 12, 2009 at 2:00 amOMGOSH! I have been looking for some Christmas scraps, I'm needing to make my 3 year old daughter a baby blanket for her 3 babies…. she says that 'all nana's gibe their grandbaybays blankets!' Which has given me a huge guilt trip. So I would like to be considered for either of the scraps! Thanks!

December 12, 2009 at 8:05 amWhen I started reading I thought that I was going to have to post and say that I really like those colors in that quilt. So of course I have to sign up for the scrap giveaway!<br /><br />By the way, I'm having a giveaway too on my blog if anyone is interested.

Katy
December 12, 2009 at 4:25 pmI love your tree skirt!!! Oh gosh – those fabric scraps would be perfect to make a little playmat for my niece at Granny's house. Add my name in to the pot!!!<br /><br /><br />I can't tell you the amount of times I've forgotten to hide things from the kids. One day I'll learn. One day….

December 12, 2009 at 4:43 pmI will take either set…please pick me!! It's not that I NEED more fabric…I WANT more fabric!!
Susana
December 12, 2009 at 6:58 pmI would love some of those scraps! I am dreading the day my own girl is big enough to understand holidays and surprise gifts, I am no good at holding back (I just gave a Christmas gift today, just because I couldn't stand it any more is how bad I am).
Robin
December 12, 2009 at 8:25 pmAdd me in to random generator of joy! I love those colors and one can never have too many scraps…
Barbie
December 12, 2009 at 9:39 pmWhat beautiful scraps! I love your tree skirt too. I started one last year and I still don't have it quite pieced together. I'm hoping to have a top to use this year and maybe I'll get it quilted next.
girlsmama
December 12, 2009 at 10:15 pmAnd here I thought I would be the only one. Ahem. I'd love either. Here's to my luck with the random number generator. 🙂
Deb
December 12, 2009 at 10:32 pmAdd me please…I'd love the first grouping. But either would work. Thanks!
Terresa
December 13, 2009 at 12:07 amLovely pieces, I'm interested, too. Either set would be great!<br /><br />PS: After some holiday shopping @ Target last night I realized I left the Christmas bags on the kitchen counter in plain sight. Full of remote control helicopters & Bak-U-Gans & Hello Kitty treasures. Luckily, no little eyes saw them.

December 13, 2009 at 7:38 amSigh I really dont need any scraps, but what the heck, toss my name in. The quilt you made is just lovely!
Petit Debutant
December 13, 2009 at 8:19 amthere are some fabrics in that top photo that are just begging to come home with me. I'll gladly adopt them! Thanks!
Blogless me
December 13, 2009 at 11:50 amI love the Christmas quilt and tree skirt, so I think the scraps, maybe I should more respectfully call them "samples" 😉 of the fabrics used, will be more than welcome in my home. I like the other set of "samples" as well, so …. random generator you know what you are supposed to do!
Tracie
December 13, 2009 at 2:00 pmJust a beginning quilter here… I think I saw you at AQ on Saturday. I would love some scraps to feed my growing quilting obsession. 🙂
Leila
December 13, 2009 at 5:36 pmI would love to have either group of scraps-of course the larger group would be best but whatever I can get! 🙂 Thanks!
Alyssa
December 13, 2009 at 7:07 pmI would love either set. Thanks. They are both wonderful.
Chris
December 14, 2009 at 6:08 amCount me in…I really like the first set of scraps…I'm using little scraps now for some CUTE ornaments I'm making as gifts, a girl can always use more scraps…I think?! 🙂
