I wanted to make something to give away but with my shoulder playing up and with one thing and another that hasn't happened.
So instead I have come up with this.
I am a scrappy quilter - the more fabrics in a quilt the merrier. I love bunging everything in together and seeing it all come together. I love loads of different kinds of fabrics and my stash reflects this. So my prize is a little peep into my stash. I have sort of made my own Jelly Roll for you - 40 x 2.5 inch strips ( width of fabric ) of some of my favourite fabrics. There are no tone-on-tones or plains in here - I have chosen some of my loveliest prints. Works out at a bit under 3 yards I think. Click for a better look. There are actually 37 here - just realised 3 went wandering when the camera came out.

I know this prize will not suit everyone but if you would like a nosey at what I spend my money on feel free to comment. All welcome - regulars and lurkers.
I will choose a number a week from today ( 2nd June ) and would appreciate it if I am able to contact you directly if you win. I have quite a few no-reply comments. If you want to enter but don't have a blog you could email directly with the words Blog Giveaway in the heading.
Oh yes - I did something I thought I might never do this week - cut into one of my precious jelly rolls - nearly didn't do it - lol ! Pictures next post xx

Love all those paisleys, and i have alittle of the crackly one towards the center. Wonderful selection of fabrics, I'd love to win them!!! Hope you can start quilting again. I know it helps me relax and I miss it when other things make it difficult to get to my beloved sewing machine!
Congratulations on 2 years of blogging! I have so many projects planned that I don't need another, so please don't enter me in your drawing (though the fabric looks great!!). Just wanted to say congrats. :)
Oh count me in...such a lovely prize! I'd have fun putting them together.
How fun, Andrea! Great fabrics and yu know, you do have a lovely sense of what works. You pull and pull and create beautifully skillful quilty items that anyone would love to have.
I'd be honored to be included in your giveaway! *karendianne.
I am a lurker, but I subscribed to your blog in Google Reader so I think that redeems me some. Anyway, I love your work and the way you mix all different fabrics and it still looks amazing. It never works that way for me! So maybe if I win your strips and make something with it then it will turn out just as well as yours do?!?! Makes sense to me... Oh, I hope I win! And thanks for the inspiration.
Congratulations for your two years blogging !! Your works are very beautiful .Hugs , Vero
Congrats on your 2 year blogversary! The fabrics are lovely, and my tiny stash would love to be joined by them. Hope the shoulder is better, and Jess as well.
Blessed Be
Love the strips! Congrats on your 2 yrs blogging...it is fun!

Your selection of fabrics is lovely. I'm especially drawn to the paisleys. I'd love to be the winner.
Congratulations on 2 years of blogging. It's such fun, having access to so many great ideas and creative folks around the world. Here's to many, more years of blogging.
Hi Andrea, Congratulations on 2 years of blogging. I have been reading your blog for at least a year. I would love to have those strips. They are very pretty. I hope your shoulder is better soon.

I would love to win your lovely fabric strips! Can't wait to see what you are going to do with your jelly roll.
I love scrap quilts and use 2 1/2" strips all the time!
would be fun working with your fabrics combined with mine in a quilt.
Kathie
congrats 2 yrs of blogging! from a long time subscriber on bloglines.
Oh please add me to your giveaway! Most of what I make are scrap quilts! Just something about scraps that make beautiful quilts. And I see paisley in your stash! Paisley fabric is my favorite!
Sure hope your shoulder gets better soon, I know you have been having trouble with it for a while now.
Kristie
What a fun idea. I have been blogging a while too, and didn't know what I might do for a give away. I like this one lots.
Congratulations, 2 years is a long time.
Congratulations on 2 years! I love all of your fabrics...
Two years of blogging! Well done!
Count me in! I'm a print loving girl myself, and though I never thought I'd be a scrappy quilter, all 3 of the quilts I'm working onthis year are scrappy.
congrats on 2 years......think I have seen all those posts.........continue to enjoy your blogging journey.......
Happy Bloggy birthday!
My goodness - two years of blogging and I bet it feels like just yesterday when you started. Congratulations - your blog is a delight and an inspiration. Love the fabrics - your choices are inspired - as always. I'm looking forward to many more years of reading your blog.
Your Jelly Roll looks delicious. Count me in.
please enter me. I am doing a lot of scrappy lately and this is a wonderful prize for us scrappy lovers.
Congratulations on two years of delightful posting.
Gene - you can reach me thru my blog and I think you have my email also
Wow! What a lovely prize to give away. I wonder about those three that went missing. Could it be that they are actually camera shy like so many of us or don't they want to leave home? ;) Cherrie
Congratulations on your 2 years of blogging. I'd love to be entered into the drawing.
You nearly didn´t do it *LOL* My blog will also be two years old next month :) Congratulations on your blogoversary and please count me in, the "jelly roll" will be welcomed here.
Congrats on 2 years! I haven't reached 2 months yet. Lovely fabrics! I( use a lot of strips too!
Happy 2nd Anniversary - What a nice idea - a personalised jelly roll - as nice as they are in the shops they always seem a bit prescribed to me, most probably because they come from a matching fabric range - yours looks much more fun. I do hope you can get your shoulder back to normal again, my mum commented this week that I must be better as I was sewing again - I haven't felt like it for months - but how much more distressing to want to sew and not physically feeling able to - sending you good wishes and vibes for a speedy improvement (((hugs)))
I love scrappy best too! Please add me to the drawing.
Love all the different fabrics. I should be doing the exact same thing, cutting up my stash in to jelly rolls. Congratulations on 2 years of bloggin. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on two years of blogging! I love your jelly roll. Scrappy is my favorite kind of quilt, too. Please add my name to the drawing.
who could resist? please throw my name into the hat :)
congrats on the blogversary
Count me in..happy blogiversary!
OOOOOOH! Pick me! Pick me!
Happy Anniversary.
Looks like a beautiufl generous gift and I would love to win it.
Hope your shoulder feels better soon so you can get back to sewing.
Congratulations on two years blogging.
what pretty fabric colors. Looks like a box of crayons.
Congrats on 2 years of blogging.

Congratulations on your 2-year blogiversary!
Gosh, it must have hurt to cut into that jelly roll. I know I felt pain when I cut mine. Ouch!
Happy Blogaversary, Andrea. What a nice giveaway. I'm a regular lurker - I would love to be entered!
Have a lovely week! ☺
I love scrap quilts and that's mostly what I make so I would love this collection. I like your selections better that the "put together" ones from the quilt shops.
It would be uneconomical to post fabric to the other side of the world, so don't count me in, but I will comment anyway.
The colours are lovely and when I enlarged it and inspected everyone there was not one fabric I have in my own stash - it always astounds me just how much wonderful variety there is for us all to choose from. We will never get tired of looking at, touching, buying,and sewing beautiful fabric! Happy Blogaversary!
Oh my Oh my you cut into a jelly roll .... I haven't found the nerve yet. LOL
Happy 2nd Blogaversary ... please throw me into the pot. Thanks
You are a quilter after my own heart. I agree the more the merrier. I'd love to win this prize!
Love the fabrics. Your blog is great--I discovered it a while back and enjoy lurking occasionally. I am a a teacher who is now out of school for the summer--I'm planning sewing time for tomorrow and even tonight perhaps. Would love to win your jelly roll--the fabrics are beautiful.
My blog is VERY brief--hope to do more with it soon.
Hope your shoulder is better soon--I'm sure you're very frustrated since you cannot quilt right now.
Congratulations on 2 years of blogging. I love seeing what you make and subscribe to you via Google Reader. I have way to much going on for another project to enter my house right now so please don't enter me in your giveaway. Just keep making us smile with your blog!
Ohhhhhh.....Happy Blogaversay!
I just love your sense of bunging everything in...and it works....how do you do that? (never works for me!I have to think too much.)
Hope your shoulder is feeling a bit better.
cheers Julz
Congrats on your 2nd Anniversary
Ooohh! Yummy! Count me in
I also subscribe to your blog through google reader even though I am a lurker too!
Oh, I forgot to say... Good for you going into the Jelly Roll. It will be a bit easier to cut into the next one.
I can't wait to se ewhat you made.
Someone else's scraps are always more interesting that what is in your own scrap bag. What a fun giveaway Andrea- Who ever wins it will be one lucky winner-
I hope that you get lots of traffic to your blog..Congratulations on completing two years of blogging.
Regards,
Anna

Congratulation on your 2 year blogversary from Spain! The fabrics are lovely
oh i love these colors! my email is fever.overjoyed@gmail.com. I need to start a new quilt! this would be perfect! :)
You are a really bad influence on me!! I looked at your jelly rolls and went and got some too, despite having a touch of tennis elbow.Fortunately it has not, so far, stopped me sewing!! (Can sympathise with the trapped nerve - ouch!) The materials are beautiful. Please add me to the draw. June 2nd was my Mum's and Mother-in-law's birthday. Hope this is a lucky sign.
