You've Lost That Loving Feeling
**giveaway CLOSED**
Welcome to the link party for unloved fabric. That sounds sad but imagine how happy the things you don't love could make someone else!
I have some fugly fabric to giveaway...
Vintage sheet offcut: measures approx. 95" x 20"
A metre of Mumms the Word, tea party fabric.
Just not my style but would be cute for fussy cutting.
and randomly this cute pair of socks!! Obviously new, slightly fugly but hello campervans and socks are fabric right?!
*NOW CLOSED*
Over to you...
- Link up any posts offering up fugly or unwanted fabric - you can have a giveaway, competition or swap, whatever you like.
- The link party will end on Saturday 31st August so please make sure you update your posts if the fabric has gone or the giveaway has closed - you may have people checking your post all week.
- Please link back to this post - you can grab the button from the sidebar on the right.
Get your fugly on and then go check out Laura's Lost The Love link party for unwanted WIPS and blocks!
eyes are smiling
I'm working on some improv log cabins
LOVE making these
I took pictures of my children's eyes. To me they are magical and speak volumes about who they are.
'Windows to the soul' is true.
In case you missed it Laura and I are teaming up for two great link parties on 24th AUGUST
- a perfect opportunity to destash or pass on those WIPS or blocks you'll never finish.
Read all about 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling' and mark the date if you want to score some fabric!
Now to get on with finishing some bee blocks...
Fugly just got Fuglier!
Announcing
You've Lost That Loving Feeling
a duo of link parties for your sad, unloved fabric and projects.
It doesn't have to be really ugly - it could be any bits that you don't want anymore, you know you won't use it, you're sick of looking at it or you think it is actually ugly. Maybe you have a piece of fabric leftover from a quilt that you don't really need and can do without. Write a blog post and give it away!!
So starting on 24th August Laura and I will open our link parties. They will be open for a week so those of you that want to swap have time to do that and you can encourage people to enter your giveaway if you chose to do one.
Posts about Fugly fabric can be linked at Charm About You and posts about blocks and WIPS at Quokka Quilts.
This is double the opportunity to clear some room, unburden yourself and share some fabric love. Have a dig around, clear out those bottom drawers, find that FQ you'll never use or block stuffed under a pile of other stuff!
Get grabbing these buttons, please put them on your blog and spread the word.
We want to bring back that loving feeling.
You've Lost That Loving Feeling
a duo of link parties for your sad, unloved fabric and projects.
Those of you who've been round these parts for a while will be familiar with my fugly fabric party. For those who aren't here's the general idea...
People in blog land are often organising their fabric, making room for the new and picking fabrics for all the lovely projects and QALs that are about. There's always so many beautiful new lines and so much fabric temptation to buy and stash.
There's also that other fabric. The fabric that you might never use, the ones you used to love, the ones that you don't know why you bought, the fabric sitting there taunting you, or hiding away at the back of a drawer somewhere! We all have it, it's the fugly fabric.
What if you could give it to someone else, someone that might actually like it and use it?!
It doesn't have to be really ugly - it could be any bits that you don't want anymore, you know you won't use it, you're sick of looking at it or you think it is actually ugly. Maybe you have a piece of fabric leftover from a quilt that you don't really need and can do without. Write a blog post and give it away!!
You can have a giveaway, a competition, a swap, offer to send it to anyone that will pay the postage - whatever you choose. I'll have a linky party and you can all have a look around other people's blogs seeing what fabric they have to offer and maybe find some gems! One person's trash is another's treasure.
Now Laura of Quokka Quilts has had the brilliant idea of extending this to WIPs and unfinished projects that you've lost the love for.
You might have some blocks you don't care for, random things you've started and given up on maybe. Something someone else could put to good use, finish or incorporate in another project?
So starting on 24th August Laura and I will open our link parties. They will be open for a week so those of you that want to swap have time to do that and you can encourage people to enter your giveaway if you chose to do one.

Are you sitting comfortably?... Then let the Fugly begin!
So Fresh and so clean
Unfortunately both kiddies are poorly, which has resulted in LOTS of cleaning here. yuck. I'm hoping this month will bring more sun and they can fight off these viruses.
It's a new month and I'm feeling really positive about it. My mind is running at 100mph and I have so many things I'm looking forward to making but for now here's what I did in April...
I'm chuffed with the bright colours and fun stuff I've done this month. Only one quilt finish, the Pezzy quilt but I'm hoping to get the Stained QAL finished up soon.
I loved making Catherine's name tag and doing embroidery for the Fat Quarterly retreat swap.
I was happy to make my first little pattern for the Big Polaroid mini quilt I made, as well as my first tutorial on how I piece my blocks. I also made cushions for the first time and even conquered invisible zips!! (it's not hard when you have Helen helping you!)
I also announced the next Fugly Fabric Party and my first sponsored giveaway, thanks to Prints to Polka Dots - it's a good un'!
The Fugly party kicks off on 8th May (*just realised that is in ONE week, get ready!!*) and I'm really excited about it :)
I have a good feeling about May (is it just that the retreat is getting closer?!) and hope you all have a wonderful month!
Going to look what you've all done in April and link up to Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day:

Unfinished Stained
It's not finished!! This is the amazing Stained QAL that Sarah cleverly designed! Need to add borders but thought I'd show you where I'm up to :) - apologies for the shoddy picture, the wind was crazy and I couldn't be bothered using any more tape!!
I've also been doing a bit more stitchery for the Fat Quarterly retreat swap, I'm making tea towels:
The patterns for these ones came from this fabulous Sublime Stitching book I bought the other day:
I also got this one after seeing Annabella's beautiful embroidery:
I'm looking forward to reading them properly and learning some more, plus they both have the cutest patterns included.
And just because, I got a few bits from Prints To Polka Dots too!
Some of which are ready to be turned into pouches:
But this but I'm keeping in my stash... I just love it!
