Scrappy Mail Fabric Swap - Round 3 GALLERY

From @AudiobookLover

First: the card. Sorry for the bad photo (cat was running into frame. This was the best I could get)

Then the fabrics:

Beautiful and fun! Thank you so much.

What is this one called? Do you remember? I love the subtle colors

Thank you so much!

When you replied to @MamaRhi 's fabric I was 90% sure I sent it to you, too.

It’s a scrap from a quilt I made for a toddler who is now taller than I am and was probably posted on the old site. Still one of my favourites, I used black and yellow fabric to create a “road” around the quilt. It’s still in use and it has held up remarkably well.

Received from @Magpie today!

And after I took the pic I realized I missed one:

I love all the pinks! Thank you so much for the fabrics. I love the vintage themed print. Somehow reminds me of my grandma.

:heart:

I think the one on the bottom is upside down!

I love that pink one too. I might need to go back for more. I went to the LQS for batting, owned by a lovely lady, but with a very different taste in fabric, very few modern fabrics. She had marked down all the Kaffe fabrics because “nobody buys that”. I managed to resist it, and only bought a bit of this fabric & I should have bought more.

I received some scrappy fabric envelopes last week right before heading out of town for the weekend. I packed them up to bring along thinking I might get a chance to post some pics. Well, I didn’t get a chance this past weekend, but I’m glad I brought the envelopes along - LittleBookLover got sick over the weekend, so he and I ended up staying behind while my husband returned home. I’ve asked my husband to keep an eye on the mail and to let me know if any more envelopes arrive and I’ll add pics when I return home next week.
In the meantime, look at all this lovely fabric that I’ve received!!

From @MistressJennie:


She included so many fun and bright fabrics! I’ve seen a variety of these fabrics used in the many amazing projects she’s created - it was like welcoming some superstars to my stash!

From @Edel:


There’s such a fun variety of patterns and colors I’m already thinking of different ways that I might cut the fabrics to showcase the different colors as individual pieces on my sea glass quilt. I suppose I need to figure out an approximate size for the glass pebbles and go from there!

From @Abbeeroad:


The bull fabrics have metallic accents and there’s just something about the pink and black fabric that I love! The speckled tan will be a great neutral for my sea glass quilt and while looking at this photo, I just realized I might be able to make the pink and purple mushroom fabric work as a neutral as well! To top it all off, she sent it all in a lovely handmade card - complete with mirror shimmer!

From @MamaRhi:


It’s hard to tell from the pic, but the bottom squares are a nice deep, dark green! I recognized the bright cheery yellow fabric immediately as I have a little bit of it in my stash and am happy to now have more!

From @EclecticDreamer:


Again, the camera had a hard time capturing the true colors of the fabrics. The bottom right fabric is a deep vibrant purple and the pink fabrics are much brighter in person. I really like the variety of blues in the blue fabric and the texture pattern of the leaves. I also feel like the brown fabric will work well as a neutral in my sea glass quilt!

From @sloth003:



Halloween and Christmas!! I really like the vintage Santas and the cat and ghost print makes me smile. I especially love the heart print and am definitely going to have to showcase that in a project! Plus, more neutrals and some greens for my sea glass quilt!!

Thank you so much everyone!! It was really fun to get a peek at your different fabrics and even better that I now get to add them to my own stash!

Well, you did deliver your awesome fabrics straight to my house, so… gotta spoil you back at least a little! & I know you’ll actually make something, probably before this swap is even finished :grin:

From @Edel! Pretty squares & lots of yummy extra fabric to play with, yay! Thank you :blush:

Jim just found a fantastic surprise from @Magpie in our mailbox! Our mail carrier has been, odd lately… Usually he drives by between 3:00-4:00 every day. But for the last few months he’s been ignoring the Outgoing Mail flag on the mailbox, and driving right past us. And for the last 2 weeks we go days at a time without getting any mail; not even junk. I checked yesterday at 5:00, and no mail. Thankfully, Jim didn’t know and checked again!

Thank you Magpie! Everything is lovely. I’m going to teach another round of the Mug Rug class, so I think I’m going to work up at least 1, if not 2 kits with these beauties!

I’ve just opened an amazing package of fabric from @Magpie as you can imagine she was outrageously generous. :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

And then @sloth003 sneaked in and added lots more. Thank you so much :face_blowing_a_kiss::face_blowing_a_kiss:

I’ll take a proper photo when I’m not operating on little sleep and when my brain starts braining again.

All the fabrics! They are amazing

I listed brights, modern, neutrals, blenders, Christmas, Halloweens in bright colors, jewel tones, and some beige/tans. I also mentioned that I’d like to make a sea glass quilt and included this pic as reference:

Years ago when my mom and I first got into quilting, she gave me a 2.5" square acrylic template. This was my first time ever using it!

I’m glad you liked it! When I showed it to my husband he said “From mustache to yours?” I nodded with a big smile and he said, ‘I don’t get it.’ So if there’s anyone else scratching their head wondering, ‘what the heck?’ It means From my stash to yours. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

That fabric is by Maywood Studio. It was part of a Halloween line from some years ago (I made a table runner with it back in 2020). I’m glad you asked because it reminded me of that table runner and the fact that I need to get it out soon! It also has me wondering if Maywood Studio still does kits like the one I used for the table runner. Everything was precut, so it was a very easy grab and sew project!

@marionberries thank you for sharing this plethora of wee batiks with me, I adore these shades & patterns. So much murky goodness.

And @MamaRhi I am in fact wild about having all these teeny banana-berry bits, don’t they look so cute together? They’re 100% going together to make up some fruit salad creation.

And these ones too! I am loving all the veggies I’m getting from everybody. Thank you :blush:

I’m not even in this swap, and that glasses print stopped me in my scrolling tracks.
