Fabric.com 3 lb. Remnant Overview & Autumn Fabric Giveaway

The Quilting Gallery is hosting a blog hop party of giveaways to celebrate back to school times.  The full list of participating blogs will be up on Monday, so make sure to stop on by there and check it out.  It's good timing for me, since there's a better chance people who are interested in seasonal fabric will see this! Please feel free to look around.
 

Fabric.com 3 pound assortment

I wanted to go over my Three Pound Remnant bundle from Fabric.com. They're out of stock today but they'll be back.  Last month Fabric.com described them a bit more in detail on their FB wall, so I got intrigued enough to roll the dice.  I always search for reviews & pictures before I order a bundle so I have a better idea of what I might get, and would hate to forget to do my part.

Description: You will receive three pounds of cotton fabric, approximately nine yards of fabric. Assortments are packaged at random with end-of-the-bolt remnant fabrics. Individual fabric pieces can range in size from 1/8 yard up about one yard each.

This is good or bad depending on your outlook, I ended up with 9 different fabrics, about one yard each.  However since I either don't like most of them, or they aren't suited for my style, I'm a bit let down, I was hoping for smaller cuts and more variety.  I do think the bottom middle one will be fun to use (Velocity Tonal City in Navy - Jessica Hogarth for P&B fabric)




The good news is they are all current fabrics, so they weren't sending $4 super sale fabrics, they are all about $9/yard so $20 for this assorted bundle is a really good value if you end up a few fabrics you like or have people to trade with.

My Father-in-law has tractors, so I am going to work hard to see if I can make something out of this sucker to the left for him for Christmas (sorry Dad, but its fate!).



If my Mom was here, she might like these, I swear she made a vest for every holiday or season that exists - but she ran off and retired to Mexico, so I am seeking a loving home for a couple of these fabrics.  If you or somebody you know likes a more "niche" fabric, it would make me happy to adopt it out. 

Autumn Fabric Giveaway

So onto The Giveaway  - two fabrics by Grace Pullen for South Sea Imports. 
Beauty of Autumn Harvest Toss in Brown
Beauty of Autumn Leaf Toss in Green
There is about 1 yard of each & its unwashed (note: each fabric has about a 4" square cut out of it, they must take it for referencing something)
I'm also throwing in a Pilot FriXion pen in red - I won one in a giveaway and liked it enough that I went out and got a few more.
