When I started quilting back at the turn of the century (when a tablet was something you swallowed not something you wrote emails on), I had a bit of a floral fetish. Some of those fabrics have survived 12 years and it's time to say goodbye... So when I saw Lucy's Fugly Fabric party, I was in like Flynn.
What was I saying? Oh yeah, some are so not fugly in my opinion, so I'm hoping someone will not find these too fugly. Given my Laura-laziness, I'm not splitting these. (I'm also feeling disinclined to ship internationally given the US postage price rises. Seriously, it's gone from $12.50 to $17 postage overnight to us poor internationalites. I really don't understand why they let you people have guns and then do that sort of thing. It's just asking for trouble. Ok, I'll shut up.)
If you like em, leave me a comment telling me where you are in the world and if you want to pay postage. :P
I'm guessing no one will so if you want them leave a comment anyway and you may get lucky. (Apparently my mood is fugly today too. TGIF... And I've missed TGIFF too, so am feeling guilty, so go and check it out at QuiltMatters).
I'll be back on the weekend in a less fugly mood I promise!
Hey Laura -
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you use Flickr, but occasionally I do see the fish in bags print come up in the fabric swap groups:

Just a place to keep an eye out!
I actually really like the Sweet Peas and the Pansies! If no one else wants them, I'll add them to my stash!
ReplyDeleteI have some fish in bags I an swap - I will send you an email.
ReplyDeleteI had that dark green 'stripe' in burgundy ! Ugh- definitely fugly!
ReplyDeleteI like fish and chips which usually come in old newspaper and / or a paper bag, fancy some?
ReplyDeleteIt is coming up to another election silly season, and it grieves me intensley when so many social beliefs (religion, guns, abortion, all those life and death issues!) become more important than actual political issues! it's a crazy world, well in America for sure! ;)
If I find some old fish in bags what sort would you like, haddock, a smoked mackeral, trout, or maybe an anchovy? ... as you say, the postage is chronic at the moment, else I'd send you a real big fish, but instead try looking for Reel Big Fish on YouTube, it's happy music that might break your fugly mood :) x
Bonnie Hunter says if a fabric is ugly you just haven't cut it small enough - ha ha. I have a lot of old fabric too, and I intend to use every scrap - one day - with peter pan in neverland probably. Still, it's a great idea to organise a little at a time and just send it away. I love small florals, but do not want to add any to my stash as the idea is to de-stash. Hope it all finds a new home! And a good project.
ReplyDeleteI am up to making a fugly Lap Quilt for the car. The fuglyer the better then no one will steal it. Yours are not fugly enough so I will just use them for something nice if I win.

ReplyDeleteWould love any or all of them, I am partial to sweet peas though. You know where I am :) maybe could pick them up over a coffee?
ReplyDeletePretty sure I have some that are far fuglier, if I had the time I really like Richards suggestion for a fugly quilt for the car!
