  3. Coral seems to be the color I am drawn to lately, but have hardly any in my stash.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I need brighter colors in general. I am an earthy girl and into the darker colors. I have been trying to get out of this color scheme, slowly but surely!
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  5. My stash is lacking browns and purples

    ReplyDelete
  6. i signed up for pink castle news letter!

  7. I need fabric period. I am brand new to all fabric crafts so anything to start a stash would be great, although I favor solids and tone on tone prints.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I love this bundle! Exactly what I need.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thank you for another great giveaway, Maureen!

  15. I really need earth tones for my stash. Been looking for a print flesh tone fabric. Any suggesions?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm lacking reds. I have one red fabric and that's it. But, this might have something to do with the fact that I'm not a big fan of red (which probably makes me a bad Canadian, ha!).

    ReplyDelete
  40. I desperately need to restack and re color my stash. I have a bin of fabric purchased May/June that I haven't put into their colors. I know I bought orange, red and tans but because I've been busy with other projects, my fabric looks depleted in those colors still. I've probably bought more of those colors than I should because of that. Loved your post yesterday about Whiplash, love quilting stores, they are so full of possibilities. Thanks

I just realized yesterday, I have absolutely NO purple, which didn't work well for the rainbow quilt square I wanted to make for a friend's soon-to-arrive daughter. Either way, I am horrible at remembering to pre-wash, so my quilt dreams are often put on hold. Anyway, great job, and thanks for the giveaway!
