So things have finally calmed down around here. I finished my class last friday and John went to back to work on Monday. Isaiah's school is closed this week so I finally got some time to hang out with him again, just me and him. It's been so nice. I finally started going through my scrap bags and I've decided that it's time for a giveaway. Plus this also happens to be my 350th post so it seems like a perfect time for a giveaway. I have a ridiculous amount of scraps because I really never throw anything away. Even tiny little pieces. For some reason I always think I'm going to need them. It might be a sickness. Anyway, I have a FRE stuffed with all sorts of scraps. Some are larger like fat quarters and others are just small scraps that would be good for patchwork. To win just leave me a comment telling me something about yourself. It could be anything, like "hi I'm Katie and I really hate putting silverware away." To earn an extra entry, you can either tweet about it or post it to your blog. Just make sure to mention it in your comment here. I'll pick a winner on Monday afternoon. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Hi! My name is also Katie, and I don't mind putting up silverware, but I do hate cleaning in general.
Hi I am Sam, I do not like green eggs and ham. Just kidding. I hate putting luandry away. I don't mind washing and folding but the putting away never happens. Making the bed either. :)

Also, I know that this is completely lame and I don't even care! :) Happy Friday!

Oh wow! Yes please! So I'm Meg and I row in DC on the gay crew team but I'm not gay. Moral of this story? Always read the "about us" page before joining something... :)

Hi - I'm Renee and I'm currently working on finishing a tote bag for my mom's birthday (today). I have 2 days to finish it though, since we aren't getting together til Sunday. I guess I'm a little bit of a procrastinator. :)

Way to go on the cleaning! I'm making a little bits quilt for my sister and those blues and browns would be perfect!
Hi, I'm Pamela and I am scared of the dentist! Ick!
Hello, I'm Jennifer. I am exactly the same way about fabric scraps and save EVERYTHING. Didn't help when I started finding quilting blogs these past few months and discovered log cabin patterns and such (which I still have not tried). Gee, I'm so bad I'm even after someone else's scraps! Yup, definitely a sickness ;)
Hi, I'm Sharon in FL...I'm finishing my pre-reqs for the RN-Nursing program (Fall 2010) and find time to squeeze in minutes of sewing/quilting to de-stress!! Would love to win your scraps!! Thanks for the opp!
I love scraps too, I have the hardest time getting rid of mine. That's all I need, more scraps, but I like variety :)
Hi Im nadia and i've never made a quilt before
I am Holly and I am teaching a sewing class each Friday to four home schooled girls. I hope that I can teach them and encourage them to love to sew. My sewing teacher caused me to put it away for many years. We are making an IPod/camera cozy now. This material could be used by them to make some scrappy scarves or scrappy belts. I think they would enjoy that.
Hi, I'm Joanna and I love getting fabric in the mail!! And I love the rain, which is good because it is raining today which is a blessed relief from the awful heat and humidity we've been having :)
I've been keeping tabs on your blog for quite awhile. Love it. Keep up the good work. I'm currently working on a quilt for myself from an old pattern called grandmothers garden.
Hi, I'm Kama. Today I want to look for blue iron on letters for my son's birthday banner that I made him. He'll be turning 1 next month. I bought black ones, but blue ones would look so much better. We are also going to a birthday party for his friend who is turning 2. I would like to sew all day...lots of Christmas projects and a craft fair to get ready for!!
hi! i'm nichole and i just went for a 3.8 mile run with my husband. i'm training to do the detroit marathon relay with some friends.

hi i'm jenn and i love making my 3 year old twins clothes to wear :)
I'm Jessica and I have a clothes problem. I have too much clothing. I finally looked at my pile and said "ENOUGH!" I now have two trash bags filled with clothes to bring to Good Will.
I think the only thing I have more of than clothing is fabric. Help me feed that addiction! Haha!
Hi, I'm Robin and I love to wash dishes but I hate to put them away.
i'm jenny & i am nursing a sick baby.
I'm Jessi and I have a ton of sewing to do this weekend. You'd think I would not procrastinate when I sign up for swaps!
I'm Nichole and I'm moving soon so my life is dominated by cardboard boxes.

Hi, I'm Barb and I am really good at planting my garden, horrible at weeding the garden and terrible at harvesting my vegetables. The beans, peas and zucchinis always get away on me....
Hi, I'm Jess. I'm a knitter who's been lured by quilting and sewing this summer... I only thought it would happen years down the road, but why wait, right?!
Hi Katie! My name is Ruth and I enjoy reading your blog! I am currently working on a queen size string quilt (only using my scraps!) for my best friend's 30th birthday in October. It would be nice to incorporate other scraps into this quilt as well - they would go to good use! :) Have a great weekend!

My name is Genevieve, I have the same issue, 2year old, I have a pile of dirty dishes in the sink because the dishwasher is full of clean which I hate putting away, all the clothes are in a pile of clean and dirty, and the clean never get put away. but I spend all my time daydreaming on the computer about quilts and fabric. It's an obsession.

I'm Elena from Barcelona. I'm new in this world so I do not have many scraps. It will be great to win this :D. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Thnkas fro this great giveaway.
Hope all of you had a nice weekend!
I love your idea! I think I might go through my scraps and make a few packages to giveaway. Personal fact... I hate folding laundry so much I just leave it in the basket and have my kids get their clothes from the basket each morning.
Hello Katie. I'm Amy.
Sewing is my sanity :)
Hi, I'm Sarah, I LOVE fabric but HATE ironing it!
Wow! What a great fabrics!!! And your blog too of course! :)
Hey, Katie! It's Ariel...I hate Miracle Whip...I hate the taste and the tangy-ness. Loathe it.
but I like your pile of scraps ;) Send 'em on over! xo
Hiya, Katie! It's me, Sara, from the virtual bee. I can always use in infusion of new fabrics (one person's scraps are another person's treasure).
Congrats on the 350th post!
Hi I'm Rachel and in addition to quilting, I also spend time in the summer reenacting the Revolutionary war!! :) It's a lot of fun and great time to spend with my husband and son. (You can see what I do here if you'd like, this is my website www.MyCrazyRevWarLife.com)
I sure hope I win those fabrics, if I do, I am going to cut them all up into little squares to add to my pile of leaders and enders that will eventually become a nine patch quilt!
Cheers!
Rachel
Hi! I'm Dana and I despise dusting. And rarely do.
Hi , I'm Missy I just had a party for my twin girls, they are now in bed, my house is a disaster and I would rather stare at fabric online than clean my house. What a fun giveaway!
Hi, my name is Sandi. I spend more time dreaming of fabric, then actually sewing the fabric. And I, like others who have posted, hate putting laundry away. When I'm not dreaming of fabric, I dream of having someone to come to my laundry. :)
Thanks for the giveaway!
My name is Chris and I grew up next door to a monastery and was babysat by monks as a kid.
hi- I'm Erin -- Tomorrow is the first day of homeschool and I should really be working on getting ready instead of bloggin!
Hi, I'm Tara! Silverware individually doesn't bother me, but as a whole, I detest emptying the dishwasher. I don't mind stacking it, but really, I'd rather clean the bathroom than unload the dishwasher. Weird, huh?
I am Mystica from Sri Lanka. I love to read blogs especially quilting and crafting blogs and blogs about books and of course giveaways. I dont much care for housework in any form!

Hi I'm Nancy and I really shouldn't enter this giveaway becuase I already have a bunch of fabric scraps that I just don't know what to do with. But I still would love to win, and maybe I'd figure out something to do with them all! Thaks for the chance to win.

Hi Katie, I'm Diane and I'm sitting here lonely on the first day of school! oh dear Thanks for a great giveaway, love other's scraps!
Hi, my name is Susan. My husband travels a lot on business, so quilting helps to keep me sane.
I love the little things in life- a child's blue eyes, a tiny lizard darting along the ledge. Congratulations on your 350th post. Truly amazing.
I forgot, I'd be pleased as punch to mention your giveaway on my blog.
I too hate doing dishes. I'd rather cook/bake and let some one else do the clean up. Been busy doing a lot of baking for the up coming holidays with lots of company. But I still find time to do my quilting. Just finished a paperdoll pillowcase. Need to make 10 more for my grand daughters under the age of ten as gifts. Would love your scraps to try some new ideas.
Hi My name is Renee. I hate doing dishes too. I would rather cook/bake than clean. I am busy baking for our upcoming holidays with lots of company coming. I still find time to do my quilting. I just finished making a pillow cover using paper dolls material. I have to make 10 more for all my grand daughters under the age of 10, I would love to win your scraps to try an interesting idea I just saw today.
Hi, I never win anything so I don't expect to this time. I just wanted to wish you well on your 350th. You are very generous to have this give away. Susan mentioned your give away on her blog, so here I am for the 1st time.
Thanks,
Etty
Hmm, i did put the silverware away this morning before work, which means i have time to read a bit before dinner on the deck while the sun is still out.

The long weekend was wonderful, how many weeks till the next one??
