Recently, we had a leftover fabric give-away in the office! Mind you, this fabric will go into future C&T projects, but that doesn’t spoil the fun; it’s what I love about work. Did I say “work”? This was pure pleasure. Any dyed-in-the-wool fabric-holic knows what I’m talking about. We may not know for sure what project the fabric’s going in but that doesn’t mean we don’t need that fabric!
About 20 of us gathered around a table lined with fabrics, and Liz pulled names from a hat. (This kept it orderly!) Then we each got to choose the fabric grouping we wanted. There were Jelly Rolls, Turnovers, Layer Cakes, Dessert Rolls, Bali Pops, Charm Packs, and even some fat quarters. These are all different cuts of fabric. For instance, a Charm Pack is a bundle of pre-cut 5″ x 5″ squares of each fabric in a line or collection.
I was lucky. My name was called 3 times, and I picked the same Charm Pack each time. So now I have 3 packs of the same variety of squares of Christmas fabric. This will be a great start towards a quilt or placemats. I’ll probably go out and buy more of one of the fabrics to do borders, etc . . . .I mean, you can never have enough fabric, right?
Big thanks are due to Moda and Hoffman for generously donating to our projects and for keeping us fabric-holics creating!
