A Feature, A Giveaway and 6,000 Charms!

I'm so flattered to be featured today at Stitching by Starlight. Pop over and say hi to Angie and read my 10 for Ten interview.

 PS: There is a GIVEAWAY too! 

This weekend I put together the charms for our Rainbow Charm Swap Round 2. 



Whew, that was A LOT of fabric! 6,272 charms to be exact. I am super glad I didn't do the math before I started sorting! 

Can you spot my little helper?

These are the charms each person received. The picture doesn't do them justice- there are just so many in there (112 in each stack.) 



I have a quilt in mind to make with these but it will have to wait until some other projects are finished first, such as my Across the Sea Quilt-Along quilt

Next up- borders!

There's still time to join us in our QAL

For all of my Wantobe Quilters and Quilters registered for the giveaways at Sew We Quilt at Stash Manicure, I've had word from Madame Samm herself that this is a BIG week for great giveaways! You don't want to miss out! (Remember M,W,F are for wantobes and Tu,Th, are for quilters.)

It will be such fun seeing what everyone makes from their charms. I'll be looking for ideas and inspiration! Thanks for organising this! You're an angel!

I'm so glad your helper didn't decide to pull the whole lot down. My Older Grandson is 18 months old and thinks fabric is his to play with!

Thanks again for all your hard work on the charm swap! So much beautiful rainbow goodness.

My charms arrived today! I was so excited, I didn't even get my groceries out of the car til I'd laid them all out on the table. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can't wait to start working with them.

I love my rainbow charms! I just keep sorting them and looking at them. After the ATS QAL I'm going to get started!

Love your post title! You had me at 6,000 charms. I couldn't wait to find out what you were doing with so many! :) Off to read your interview...

Jennifer said...

I am beyond excited to get the rainbow charms. I have about 20 projects I want to try with them...I guess I have a decision to make.

Yes, those are a lot of charms. They do make a very pretty rainbow. Off to read 10 for ten.

Wow, think you deserve a reward (or perhaps a lie down in a darkened room) for all that!
