I have some free pillow fabrics to give away for postage only
My sister works at a high end furniture store in Maine and occasionally brings me fabric samples. These are all by Cisco Textiles and they are large; all are roughly 25" x 36" except the gray floral which is 48" x 19".
They are digitally printed to look like the design is woven. The 25" x 36" ones are all cotton, except for the 'Fatima Turquoise', which is 100% 'lino'. The gray floral (Angelle Silver) is 'Cotton/Lino.'
A large two-sided pillow, or two pillows with a solid back could be made from any of these, even though each has the fabric label, which can be removed, in one corner and the brass ring where it went on the sample 'handle', on an opposite end corner, as shown below.
If anyone here wants them - one or all, I will be happy to send them to you for shipping costs. First come, first served, and my messaging is turned on. Thanks!
Karima Blush - Fatima Turquoise
Matupi Indigo - Farrah Azure

tell me about giving away iris for postage
Comments (6)I do postage for extra Iris a lot. this is what I require from the sender! I only use the Priority boxes, they get there faster and I know the exact postage for each size of box. 1- Postage--money order or cash no checks. 2- A return address label 3- A note reminding me what the postage is for. sometimes I have more than one offer going on and with the note I do not have to hunt up the posts to figure out what one is what. After I get the postage "THEN" I send off the box. I then let the sender know that I got there postage and there box is on its way to them. I cut them back roots and tops, clean out the dirt and let them dry for a few days. Hope this helps. Gayla...See Morejapaneese morning glories.. Give away free

Comments (5)These scion were just cut this morning. Rather than throw them in the trash, I figured I'd offer them up here. I use a cleft graft which I have 80-90% success rate although it's not an efficient use of buds. The shiraniu scion had 12 buds, so in theory I could have done 12 bud grafts, but since I did cleft grafts I only got 3 grafts done. Just send me your address on the email I left on the first post and I'll divi them up based on how many response I get. I'll probably send them out on Monday since it looks cool for the rest of the week. Steve - I don't think there is a way to contact people either.

Comments (13)This is an interesting thread! To keep or not to keep! Hard decisions to make. When I first started quilting 35 years ago, the intent was for all children and grandchildren to get a quilt. That got done and then I did about 5 or 6 for myself. And some of those first giftees have received seconds. And if someone asks, they will get another. But... I am retired, unable to be really physically active, don't travel, so spend a lot of time at the machine. My sister told me about her group that makes lap sized quilts for chemo patients. So that has become my project as well. Now I don't make art quilts or show quilts but I try to make something that I think will be appreciated by someone in need of comfort., and not just done slapdash but with thought and care. I have personally given about 10 to people I know, have taken well over a dozen to the Cancer Clinic and many have gone to the Save the Children Bazaar to be taken by anyone who needs one. I feel that I have been blessed with 'so much' that it is my privelege to be able to share. I understand the desire to keep what we have put heart and soul into making. No disrespect intended for anyone who feels this way. But for me, I would rather try to give comfort to someone who needs a hug, than fill a shelf in a closet. Off the soap box! And as Lois and I agree, quilting keeps us out of the bars. Theresa...See MoreMy3dogs ME zone 5A

7 years agoOh my gosh, martinca_gw! This has truly made my day, week and month, the nice comments in this post! I just wish that the true quality and beauty of these fabric showed in my pics. It's just not my style, but it's nice fabric. I'll put it in the free section of Craigslist if no one here can use it.
That little Boykin Spaniel in WA would have a great home here! I stripped wallpaper from my upstairs bathroom yesterday as the cold rainy day was perfect for that task, and 'my 3' were close by, laying on my bed supervising the entire time. Hopefully some day soon, I'll be able to share my second doggie-theme bathroom, although this one will be limited to the wallpaper.
Hmmm, maybe when I want to adopt a dog who is far away, I should send them pictures of my doggie bathrooms! :-)
Thank you all for your very kind comments...

I'll take new pictures of them today outside if you'd like so you can see the true colors. You can message me through here with your addresses and I'll send you mine. The least expensive way to ship would be a Priority envelope thru USPS.
Priority Mail® Flat Rate Envelope 12-1/2" x 9-1/2" $6.65.
I used a stripe to make the valance in my upstairs bathroom, and it goes great with the Thibaut 'Pedigree' wallpaper.

6 years agoHi, Sammy, Well the matching fabric is over $70 per yard. I DO have some in the cream background with the black print, that I got on eBay years ago for an incredible price, but I just didn't care for it with the taupe paper - it was just too much.
And since I had the free Cisco fabric, which sells for over $100 per yard, and it went very well with the paper, and I had a solid to make the border and ties with -
For winter, I'll probably make a new treatment from one of these that I have on hand! :-) I love checks, and live in Maine, with cold, snowy winters, so for fun, the black and cream buffalo check may be called into duty.

6 years agojaybird - my old friend! (well not OLD, but a friend from the old days!) Did you see the first doggie bathroom? I needed some projects this past winter/late spring, and the powder room one started when a friend gave me some beautiful Spode hunting dog plates for Christmas. See it HERE. Talk about dog themed... :-)
And the plates that started it all -
And then he sent this picture -
And I found this - so there will be more curtains made for it someday!
And the curtains in there now were inspired by this pic he sent. It's so nice to have a long distance design helper!
