No, I am not talking about the Kelly Clarkson's song, Piece by Piece(which by the way I love!) but my newest project to do while packing up to move! I cannot believe how much fabric I have stashed away but there is lots and I keep finding more! I have two friends who are getting a lot of what I am disposing of but I still have soooooo much more. The other day I saw a really neat patchwork piece used in a tote and I thought...that is a great thing to do when I have "down time" to sew a bit while resting from packing up the house.
I had just discovered how many mini charm packs(and a few charm packs) I have. Some I bought for who knows what and several were prizes that I won that I haven't used for anything yet. I sewed some of them into different sized patchwork pieces and will use them when I make totes and clutches. Nothing is better than already having the patchwork done!! Here are few of the blocks.
 |
| Potluck mini charm pack |
 |
| From Outside In mini charm pack |
 |
| PB&J mini charm pack |
 |
| Unknown charm pack cut into 2 1/2 " squares |
 |
| Unknown jelly roll strips from Joann's |
 |
| Audra's Iris Garden Mini Charm pack |
 |
| Unknown Jelly Roll strips from Joann's |
Since I still have loads of mini's left, I decided to have a giveaway! I will be drawing 4 names to win 4 mini charms packs each.( 2 sets of 3
Potluck and 2 sets of 3
From Outside In. (the first two blocks above used these two mini charms) To win these, all you need to do is post a comment about where you would like to live if you could live anywhere in the world!(and why if you would like to tell)
I am asking that you please put your email address in your post so that I have a way to get in touch with you. I hate to draw a name and then not have anyway to notify you that you won.
The giveaway will run until
midnight June 23.
Keep watching my blog because I have several more giveaways planned in the next few weeks. One will be a flat rate envelope filled with "scraps" but large things...fat quarters, charms, etc. and who knows what else. So keep an eye out for these giveaways.
I would live right where I am! On a small bay in the Pacific Northwestern WA, just outside a state park and a wildlife habitat refuge. My Dad across the street, my in-laws around the corner and all three grown kids within the same county!
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I would consider moving from where I live is my grand babies live in New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteI've been to a bunch of nice places, but none that I really wanted to move to. I'm satisfied right where I am.

I would like to live in San Antonio, Texas. We loved it when we were first marred and stationed there for the Air Force. There is great culture, entertainment, patriotism, and tex-mex food. It holds good memories and has nice weather too!

I love the patchwork pieces! Great idea to use up minis - although I do not have any right now! lol I would love to live in Tn and be closer to my two boys! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOur quilt ministry group has been sewing lots of patchwork pieces, from a huge donation of partially sewn fabric squares. I'm very happy living right where I am at this point in my life - in western New York state near the PA border. Beautiful and peaceful hill country. amityquilter2008 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI really love where I am as the seasons and scenery are beautiful, Buffalo, NY. However, I could live in the Adirondacks around Old Forge for a couple of months every year. I must drive through where Quilting Babcia lives when I go to visit my daughter south of Erie! Love any fabric, any size!
ReplyDeleteWe are moving in the next couple of months, 3.5 miles from where we live now. The new place will be the first place that is "ours". My DH has cancer and we need a place to rest.

If I didn't live in Norway, I would like to live in Bordeaux, France. There I wouldn't need to drive on snow and ice in the winter. In the summer I could stay outside in the sun. Thanks for this giveaway. Greetings from Turid. Mail: tubakk@online.no
ReplyDeleteI would want to live somewhere with 4 seasons, but not extreme summer or winter. Where everyone gets along. Still looking! 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteProbably on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It is such a beautiful place. It is the place I first saw the ocean and the place in which I was married. It holds some very good memories for me. powersjlc at gmail dot com. Thank you so much for the fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've visited many places in the USA, some very gorgeous but I always feel "lost" so I guess I feel most comfortable living here in the Midwest in western Iowa. My husband asked me where I'd like to live before we married, and my answer was "in the country", which is where we've been for 30 years and I love it!

ReplyDeleteDeleted earlier post because it didn't contain email address. I would live in Alaska, if I were independently wealthy. Just think, for several months of the year, it would be cozy to sit by a fire and sew while looking out on a beautiful vista. Thanks for the chance to win. momoftana at yahoo dot com.
ReplyDeleteLately I think New Zealand would be neat, or Austria! Why? Because I love the scenery, though I have never been to either place. Thanks for the chance to win. joyecox@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in the country but not with the extreme cold or heat. chocolatewiskers@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI think someplace in France would be lovely, if only for a short while. Great food, history, architecture, quilters - the list is endless. Right now though I really enjoy the home that we built about a decade ago.
ReplyDeleteI think it would probably be France. Paris for several years, then moving down to the Mediterranean. That way I could tour around Europe.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to live back in my home town of Astoria, OR. Lots of good memories of it from growing up.

I would love to live someplace warm and next to a body of water...somewhere along the East Coast. While I adore the ocean, even a lake would be great! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI live in Northern CA. I would live anywhere that is closer to my two eldest sons. One lives in Vermont and the other in Toronto. So I suppose I would choose something right between the two families. This is something we may actually do within the next couple of years.
ReplyDeleteThank you for for the opportunity!
I live in N.E. Georgia and love it here so this is where I would love to stay. We have beautiful mountains and the weather is pretty nice also. With the mountains and lakes nearby, the scenery is so beautiful. Thank you so much for the giveaway.

I'd love to move out to the country... on the coast. We live in the city right now and it's too big and bustly
ReplyDeleteI'm living right where I want to, gorgeous weather, a house we like and a 2.6 mile commute to a job I love. Nothing in my imagination can beat it! ak93012 (at) aol (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI spent my first 21 years in MN where my family still lives. Marriage brought us to KS, which is now home. I wouldn't mind living the summer in MN and winter here. vlhill3459(at)sbcglobal(dot)net.
ReplyDeleteI`d love to move to near the beach with a warm and sunny weather.
ReplyDeleteIf I decided to leave Georgia, I would move to Cody, Wyoming, a great small town and a great location close to Yellowstone National Park.
ReplyDeleteI would live right where I am, the central coast of California. The only down side is the summers are crazy and so many people vacation here!

I would love to live in the Florida Keys. This Kansas girl has the sea in her soul
ReplyDeleteWhoops! Tammy Stack tamstack@gmail.Com
ReplyDeleteHawaii is so beautiful, it would be great to live there, I think. But then, I'm very happy living down here in New Zealand too, God's Own Country, we like to say.
ReplyDeleteJenny - jen.robb@xtra.co.nz
Like Jenny, I do like living in lil old NZ, if only because we have no snakes, few spiders, and no large mammals or reptiles to do you harm. Otherwise, I quite like Scandanavia. Thanks for the giveaway. Tarnia.hodges at gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'll stay on the same little hill! My fav is the From Outside In. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of places I would to visit, but I really love living in western Pennsylvania. karenadd@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in Radium, British Columbia - the most beautiful place on earth! It is in the Rocky Mountains with the most spectacular views and a hot spring pool to relax in. Thanks!
ReplyDeletedbelliott@outlook.com
I live where it's summer heat for 6 months of the year, so I would like to live someplace where it's more moderate, maybe an island, since I also love the beach!

I would love to retire to the gulf of Forida. We now live in Ohio.
ReplyDeletesweetpeamarie2003@yahoo.com
I think Jekyll island would be a wonderful place to live. We have visited that area from Wisconsin during the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteMy email is lono3@frontier.com
Well home is where the heart is. We live in Arizona. Yes it's hot. Today is supposed to be 113, tomorrow 118 and Monday 119. But We've lived here all our lives and this is where our daughters family lives. Anyway where else but the Sonoran desert can you see haboobs (huge dust storms) that are 3500 feet tall and 20 miles across, verga (rain that you can see coming from the clouds but evaporating before it hits the ground) and an actual monsoon season.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of making patchwork pieces. I would live in the western NC mountains. I grew up there and love my mountains. pewa88@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Texas, lived in NC (near the mountains) and that to me is the most beautiful place to live. Helped churches in Germany and Costa Rica. Now back in San Angelo, Texas in a retirement community. This is the best place to be for my life now and I love it, the place and the people.

Hi, I love where I live, where else can you say that you have a fantastic National Park such as Yellowstone for your back yard......Thank you for a delightful giveaway,,,minis sound like fun and I really like your idea of sewing them up and using them for pocket books, totes or bags......rosieposiegma at hotmail
ReplyDeleteI would stay here in the mountains of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. I love having all four seasons. Close to my friends and my family. grinnie1961@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would live right here because I am about 15 min away from my farthest grandchildren. Love the idea for the minis jlambert@xmission.com
ReplyDeleteI live in the middle of the prairies, but I was born in Newfoundland. My dream is to live by the Atlantic Ocean again, in the Maritimes somewhere. Maybe just for the summer months though - I am not sure about dealing with six feet of snow in the winter. annesimonot@sasktel.net
ReplyDeleteI would love to live near a beach and have plenty of sunshine all the time. I would prefer a place that doesn't get cold. I just love sunshine it makes me feel alive. gayle950@hotmail,com

ReplyDeleteJust found you on Crazy Mom Quilts. I love your blog design! So cute! I'm pretty content living here in Idaho but wouldn't mind taking a month in Hawaii now and then! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Pacific Northwest where I have lived for 40 years. Mild weather us the best and it doesn't really rain that much!
ReplyDeleteI want to live somewhere in the Caribbean. I would love to wake up each and every day looking at turquoise waters, sandy beaches and warm sunshine. The Caribbean has a slow laid back atmosphere that I want to bask in.

I love where I live - beautiful S. W. Ontario, Canada! We're about an hour's drive from most of the Great Lakes; the scenery is almost as pretty as anywhere that I've been to, and I can't imagine living anywhere else (except for Hawaii maybe...!) quilting-lady@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would live in Italy because I love the mediterranean weather and feeling...

Since I have lived in MO my entire married life (48 years), I would hate to move. That being said, I would love to live closer to my kids; one lives in ID and the other lives outside of Washington, D.C. Both are beautiful and lots to do, but our little sleepy town has its appeal too!! lewisnancy54@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI was born in Wooster, Ohio. Then I moved myself to Phoenix, Arizona (where I met my wonderful husband). He moved me to San Antonio, Texas and from there to Durant, Oklahoma. If I could live anywhere I would love to try living in Ireland. As a red head it would be nice to walk into a room and not be the only one. That being said, I will be happy anywhere as long as I can have my husband and our pets at my side.
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in Greece for its wealth of the history of the Gods. In addition, the country is close to other countries that are rich in culture. . .not to mention all the FABRICS!!!
