Another Crooked Brook Fabric Giveaway!

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

A HUGE box came in the mail a month ago, and I had no idea what to expect.  I knew Crooked Brook was sending me some more fabric, but if they gave me advanced warning of what was inside of the box, I didn’t remember it.

Let’s just say nearly every single one of my fabric passion senses were put to use – I looked at the 5 yards of Wheat 100% Cotton Seersucker fabric, I sniffed it, I stroked it, I layed it on my cutting table for a week to look at it.  I was in fabric passion heaven!

What to do?  What to create?  My brain was on overload and I was so excited to see what would become of this fabric!

Then, I figured it out!  My sista/cuz (she’s really my cousin but her folks finished raising me and she was born while I lived with them so she’s closer than a cousin which means she’s stuck with another older sister!) was getting married and I needed to make her a wedding quilt!  This fabric was PERFECT for the backing on the quilt I had in mind!

This is the front of the quilt when it was finished.

This is the front and Seersucker backing once it was quilted.

And this is my beatiful cousin (on the right) opening up her quilted gift and holding it up to see!

And now Crooked Brook wants to offer one lucky winner 5 yards of Wheat 100% Cotton Seersucker fabric, too!

I was contacted by a lovely company named Crooked Brook® who wanted to see if my blog readers were interested in a fabric giveaway.  I may be blonde, but I don’t know ANY quilter who doesn’t want a chance at free fabric!  They specialize on making and embroidering specialty apparrel as well as blankets.  But, if you scroll down on their website, they also affer many fabrics either for your quitling or crafting pleasure!

Being that I only work with reputable companys, I asked them for a sample of what they wanted to offer.  I received a HUGE box of 100% cotton twill in the mail:

After doing what a normal quilter does of looking at the fabric, touching the fabric and contemplating the best use for it … I decided that it was a little heavy for a quilt in Texas, but it would make a great tablecloth.

So, I set out to cover our table with some fabulous colors!  And, I must say, when I set my mind to piecing something on the weekends, every single one of my family gets involved – totally a family affair and so enjoyable for me! 

Each square was cut into 10 1/2″ unfinished squares.  DD#3 counted them to make sure I had enough.

Then, I began my piecing:

I made long rows and our son helped me to count them out:

Then it was time to put the strips together to make our new tablecloth – the rest of the family helped me organize the blocks and colors:

And here’s the final (unquilted) product on our dining room table:

Pretty snazzy – and colorful, too!  Everyone in the house liked it!
