Fugly fabric, yarn and quilt blocks free to a good home!

Disclaimer! Some of the following photos may not be suitable for fabric lovers of a sensitive disposition!

I just found out the Lucy at Charm About You is having a Fugly Fabric Party!

Charm About You

This is just what I need to clear my house/head/conscience! Now before I show you the goods, I have to tell you that not all the fabric/stuff below is mine, some of it is, but not all.

And I'm not calling all of it Fugly, it just is not loved enough by me, and will not get used. With that in mind, all the stuff in the photos below is free to a good home :)


Home dec scraps
These are scraps and off-cuts of home dec fabric, the bundle weighs about 1kg ish and some are quite large scraps. I got these from someone who was moving house and had a grand plan to make something, but I can't remember what it was I was planning to make!

Part finished embroidery
I think these came from my Aunt, and I think they are cover-things to go over the back of a chair.
The fabric has a sticker that proudly boasts 100% viscose. There seems to be a needle and thread attached!

Tapestry Yarn
This is my Mum's tapestry yarn. I don't know anything about tapestry yarn, but if you need more info I'll try to find out :)

Panel
All you need is Love, panel by Deb Strain for Moda

Panel
Anticipation Panel by Sandy Gervais for Moda.
I have 2 of these

Purple and coral quilt blocks
There are 8 purple and coral quilt blocks. Some of the fabric looks hand-printed/dyed
I got these from a lady who was going to throw them away. I had planned to make them into a charity quilt, but that was 2 years ago.
They are nice blocks and someone has spent a lot time on them. The fish in the middle is hand-pieced!

Blue and Gold quilt blocks
There are 11 of these blue and gold quilt blocks.
I got these from the same lady who was going to throw them away. I had planned to make them into a charity quilt. That was 2 years ago.
They are nice blocks and someone has spent a lot time on them.

Novelty fabrics
The ducks print is a large scrap
The Winnie the Pooh on the right is about 1/2 yard
The dogs is heavier weight cotton and is about a yard I think

Scraps
The strip on the right is a FQ. The brown and purple flowers is about a yard, The other 3 are scraps

If anybody can offer any of these items a good home just leave a comment below before 14th February. Let me know what you would like. If more than one person wants a particular item, I'll draw it on 14th Feb. I'm happy to send these internationally, but if it's heavy (eg the Home dec scraps at approx 1kg) I would rather send within the UK, or have a wee contribution towards the postage. Just make sure that you are not a no-reply-blogger or leave me an e-mail adress so that I can get in touch with you.

Okay the horror photo show is over! You can relax again!

Thanks for reading :)

    I was fully expecting to see the fabrics I gave you in this list! I'll put my name in the pot for the bottom photo fabrics. I could send the brown one to Hadley just to wing her up.

    I would love the novelty prints. I'd love to make those beautiful blocks into a charity quilts but they are so beautiful that I'm worried I won't do them justice...so if a more experienced quilter wants to take them great, but if no one else does, I'd be honoured to take them and do my best. Thanks

    I could certainly use those home dec fabrics, especially that floral Laura ashley and the green stripe, and I would love your aunts embroidery silks and panel things! Maybe I could get them when I make it over for a guild meeting?!

    I love that Laura Ashley print on the top of the pile, its very 'my new house' now I have a house in the country and not the right things to put in it lol! The other florals/linen-ey ones peeking out of that pile are lovely too.

    there is a internal battle going on in my mind about the duck+dog selection and the flower throw together. Mind if I leave that deision to your drawing?
    Thanks for giving your fuglies a new chance at a loving home!

    Hello you, great post...and some of those blocks are great...I hope you can find them a good home (not with me, I've already got too much on...there's a self portrait to do!). Can you count me in for the dog print, though? I think I might get some zippys out of that, but the ducks and pooh fabric would probably be best rehomed somewhere else! x

    ooh I would love the embroidery skeins or tapestry wools? I like to dabble in cross-stitch and I'm in the middle of making my first tapestry :)

    I have a giveaway for a big fabric bundle on my blog, come check it out - it's part of the 'fugly' but it's really not!

    Jessie, xo

    I would love the Duck print &/or the Winnie the Pooh Print.
    I have an 18 month old daughter. One of her earliest words and still a favourite was Duck. She is also madly in love with Pooh Bear, Tigger & Piglet (don't know where she would have got that says the mother who still gets given things with these characters due to her love of them). I hope you find loving homes for everything. There are other things I would love but I don't want to be greedy and I am all the way down in Australia.
    Thanks so much for your generous offer to share
    Jodi
