Sister’s Choice Quilts

Scraps For Sale…..

6a00d8341cdb3f53ef00e5539226db8833.jpg


In a past life I used to be a pre-school and pre-kindergarten teacher.  My favorite thing to do was to create flannel board stories or dramatic play kits based on my favorite children’s literature.  One favorite book of mine ( and of hundreds of my students) was “Caps For Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business” by Esphyr Slobodkina.  Basically, the story is about a guy who sells caps, who falls asleep under a tree full of monkeys.  The monkeys steal all his caps while he is snoozing, and when he wakes up, the peddler has to outsmart the cagey monkeys and get all his caps back.


That little segue leads into my new Blog Give-Away, “Scraps For Sale”.  It is a bit of a mis-nomer because no money is involved, and I don’t have a gazillion caps to give out, but I do have an overflowing basket of scraps from my recent Friday Finishes.  I have scraps of Roman Holiday, Old Fashioned Charm, Posh, fabric from my blue and white quilt, and tons more.  If you would like to enter a drawing to get all my leftover fabric from these projects, please comment to this blog post, and next week Ozzie will pick a name out of a hat and I will send the winner all these leftover scraps! 

A big ole box of fabric could be comin’ your way!  Just let me know if you are interested in participating in the give-away by saying so.  Love ya’ all.

  36. Hi Nicole,
    oh, it’s always so much fun when my rss-news-thingy tells me that you’ve published a new post full of amazing quilty stuf (I absolutely love your work, always eye candies for me! Not to mention that it’s just >wow< how much you have to show!) and funny stories about your adorably cute Ozzie. Thanks for sharing!! I can't imagine that you cant part with these beautiful fabrics (in my opinion they aren't scraps, anyway ;o) ) - I can't resist, so please, count me in {and here comes my attempt to bribe Ozzie as he's the one who picks the lucky one: if you ever need a pig's ear to chew on, don't hesitate to woof} Hugs, Julia
