Traveling Stash Rules & Guidelines

Hello!  :)

THE TRAVELING STASH RULES AND GUIDELINES

RULES:

1. Be an active blogger. Post about receiving and the giveaway on your blog in a timely manner.
2. There is a note in the box that logs where the box has been. Please add your info and place the note back in the box.
3. There is a list of Rules and Guidelines in the box. Please read and follow these and return the list to the box.
4. You may take anything you like from the box. Just replace every item with comparable quilt shop quality items equal to the amount taken. See guidelines below.
5. Ship the box to the next person in a reasonable amount of time.
6. Due to the amount of postage shipping is only within the USA.

GUIDELINES:
The definition of a stash is a secret store of valuables. For quilters it's a collection of usable quality products. The stash should contain mostly fabric with a few patterns and/or books and other items.

• FABRIC:     Should be quilt shop quality in new condition. Scraps should only be included if they are cut for adding to a collection and packaged accordingly (i.e. I-Spy squares, postage stamp squares, etc.). There should not be anything under a Fat Quarter unless packaged like this.
• PATTERNS/BOOKS:     Should be in new or gently used condition. They should be kept to a minimum (books are bulky and add weight).
• OTHER ITEMS:     Should be in new or gently used condition. Tools, notions, etc. These items should be packaged if necessary.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

• If you receive a box with anything that is of "poor" condition you should not feel guilty in tossing it out.
• Only put items in the box that you would be proud to own. The box is NOT a dumping place for all your outdated unwanted items.
• Items should be free of smoke and pet hairs.
• You must replace items you take with the same quantity of like-kind items. Replacing more than you take is always welcome.  :)  There is a guide to Pre-Cut amounts below for your reference.

GUIDELINES TO PRE-CUT AMOUNTS:

• Jelly Roll strips are 2-1/2 inches so every 10 strips is 2/3 yard (plus an inch). 30 strips is 2 yards plus 3 inches. 40 strips is 2-3/4 yards. 50 strips is 3-1/2 yards.
• Honey Buns are 1-1/2 inches so 10 strips is just slightly under 1/3 yard. 40 strips are 1-2/3 yards.
• Desert Rolls are 10 (5 x 45) strips or just slightly over 1-1/3 yard.
• Turnovers are 80 (6 inch) triangles and is equal to slightly over 1 yard.
• Charms are 5 inch squares. 40 charms is equal to 2/3 of a yard.
• Layer Cakes are 10 inch squares. 40 layer cake squares are equal to 2-3/4 yards.

I look forward to sharing pictures and what I have chosen from the box. What I have added. And who the next winner will be. Stay Tuned!!!!

I also have been working on a new project that Missie at http://www.hallbrookdesigns.blogspot.com/

New floppy finishes

I'm late getting started today. Had errons to run this morning.

This is what I chose for my Festive Mystrey Quilt:

I chose to add an extra solid boarder to mine. Now, I need to get it off to the quilter.

And this one that I have made this week.

This will be my new shower curtain.

Candle In The Window

I've been working on a Quilt top that is out of print. But, when I went to a local quilt store, They had several copies of it.




So, here I go. Some of these.....

And, some of these....

And, It's starting to look like this....

I'm really liking the way it's looking....
Thank You for visiting my blog,

I Hit the Jackpot

I went Garage Salling this morning. And Oh am I glad I did.

Look What I found

And this:

WOW! Did I hit the jackpot.

The quilt top is a floppy. I think I'll add a boarder to it, and, have it quilted. Just simply gorgeous!!!
The books are full of patterns. I'm sure I'll spend lots of time looking through them and dreaming of what to make this winter.

LOVE, HUGS, and PRAYERS,
Carolyn
