These are my blocks for August. They got a little wrinkled waiting to get sewn together into a row. I should be able to get that done today. Believe it or not, it is fairly calm. We have a tax holiday for back to school shopping, the girls definitely want to take advantage of that.
In celebration of the new month, we will have a giveaway of hand dyed fabric from Vicki Welsh. Just leave a comment on this post to enter the drawing.

ooo! grey! I love grey! I'm hoping to get some neutral crummby sewing in sometime this week, but I'm not sure it will happen...
Would love to win some hand dyed fabric. I had little purple and after our month of purples, I have less than little. lol So I have 3 more colors to hit before I start thinking about turning these parts into quilt tops. So, I am using light green this month. I have yellow and red left to do, but thought you might be pulling those colors in upcoming months.
I adore Vicki's hand dyed fabrics. I can always use more of them. I have used them in several art quilts.
Love her fabric! But never tried it. We have Cherrywood Fabrics in our town,but hers looks totally different!

The hand dyed fabrics are beautiful! Would love to win those! Jspwarren at aol dot com
I'll be using up gray scraps in the little time I'll have to sew this month.
I usually take the grandkids shopping for school clothes. It's tax free weekend here too but I'd rather pay taxes and avoid the crowds so will take a day off during the week just to take them shopping. (I not only hate crowds...I hate shopping too!)
Such pretty grey. Love Vicki's fabrics.
Your blocks are beautiful in those colors! Thanks for the inspiration!
great blocks and my son starts school a week from now, then my daughter starts two weeks later...
Thank you (and Vicki) for hosting the giveaway!! Good luck to everyone!
Lovely little blocks this month. Thanks to both you and Vicki for color inspiration.
They are beautiful Thank you for the chance. Happy Scrappy Saturday!
Vicki's hand-dyed fabrics are wonderful, aren't they? I am currently making a black/white/gray quilt for my daughter and this would be perfect to sneak in some more fabrics!
Vicki's hand dyed fabrics are so pretty. 24Tangent@gmail.com
This morning's sewing was interrupted by a request for a skirt from the oldest. We dug through the stash, found a knit, and I have one less odd piece of fabric in my stash now!
Like this easy block. Have more purple than the light green.
I sooo need those grays! Thank you for hosting a giveaway.
next year I plan on doing some landscape quilts and hand prints are the best for those projects
Happy Saturday! Love these fabrics!

Beautiful blocks you've made. I just returned home to make some purple circles. Have a nice weekend!

Thanks for the chance to win. I didn't get any purple sewing done yesterday due to WATERPARK fun! I'll get in on the fun next week.
Green and purple is my favorite color combination! Your blocks are beautiful! I love the calm impression. Thanks for sharing your work, and for the great giveaway!
The fabric is lovely and anyone would like to win. Thank you for the oppurtunity to win some.

Never can have too many handdyes especially such pretty ones! pjrquilter (at) msn (dot) com
Didn't have any grey and the green I had was too lime. Had a nightgown I never wore that was exactly the shade I wanted so that is what I used. Continuing the challenge to use only stash and no new purchases!
I love the greys in the giveaway gradient pack.
I haven't had a chance to dig for any fabrics in the August colors yet, but maybe this week.
Vicki has great dyed fabrics.
Visited Vicki's site. Great fabric as well as very informtive re: fabric and color.
Vicki's fabric is among the best out there. She has the process down.
Interesting challenge colours this month.
I was surprised to find so many dusty/gray purples in my stash.
I uploaded a post from this week, can you email me, I want to send you something so I need your mailing address :)
I'm new here and new to quilting. Looks like a great blog. I'll go look around.
Your collection of blocks looks good; I like this colour combination. Enjoy shopping for children's clothes. I hope that what they want to wear coincides with what you want to pay for!
I love reading your blog...thanks for the suggestions, motivation, and a chance to win!
