Last year around this time a neat swap was going around on Instagram called "Get Your Quilty Wishes Granted" (#getyourquiltywishesgranted) and it is essentially a way for people to put out there in the IG universe a special something they've been looking for wether it is fabric, notions, threads, patterns, etc. and then someone who may have that sees it, asks for your address, and grants your wish!
I ended up granting several wishes - mostly for fabric and one for a MODA Merit Badge, plus one for a package of Cotton + Steel selvedges. It felt great to help people out! In return I put my wish out there for Cotton & Steel or Alison Glass prints (scraps or even F8's) and ended up getting 4 packages in return for those!
I plan to use some of these in a sampler quilt (my very first one!) soon and the rest will be put into smaller projects here & there. So thank you to everyone who sent me something!
I am always inspired by the generosity of the quilting community :)
What a wonderful idea! I will have to take a look into that..somehow..haha
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great return on your own generosity!
Enjoy it!!
This is a great idea! Somehow I missed this on Instagram. The prints that you received will look great in a sampler quilt.
ReplyDeleteI desperately need 1/2 up to 1 yard of Amberley by Brenda Riddle for Moda the Peony Gingham #18676-15. I am so bummed I am doing the Ethereal Mystery Block of the Month Quilt and cannot complete it as I have run out of this one fabric so the project will go undone. I would pay premium dollars for the fabric as well as shipping if someone can find it in their stash. It's a pale pink Gingham check fabric.
