Get Ready 4 Fall: A "Charming" Great Giveaway

Printer-friendly versionSend by emailPDF version

THIS GIVEAWAY ENDED 09/18/2012. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED.

If you love piecing and patchwork, you probably also love pre-cuts. If you're new to this world, a 'pre-cut' is just what its name implies: fabric already cut into a specific size from within one specific collection. Pre-cut bundles of fabrics have long been a favorite of quilters; but recently, all kinds of sewers, including the gang here at Sew4Home, have become fans. Pre-cuts shorten your cutting time and give you an affordable way to purchase an entire collection of fabric. One of the most common is the Charm Pack, a bundle of 5" x 5" squares. Today, we have SIXTEEN pretty Charm Packs from Moda Fabrics to give away. We've broken them into four sets of four to make four Sew4Home visitors happy. Depending on the fabric company, each Charm Pack usually contains at least one of each print from within the selected fabric collection. Moda Fabrics is the industry leader when it comes to pre-cut variety, and they are the very generous supplier of all the Charm Packs for this Great Giveaway. Moda includes forty-two pieces in their Charm Packs, so there are often duplicates and triplicates of some prints. Charm squares are great for easy patchwork quilts. You can sew them up without slicing and dicing and - voila, quilt top done! Charm Packs are also one of the least expensive of the pre-cuts options, usually starting at just $10.00 per pack.  

If you're wondering what you could make with 168 5" x 5" squares, we have a number of project tutorials to spark your creativity. Here are just a few of our favorites:

Baby Quilt

Table Mat

Vase Wraps

Catnip Mice

Euro Pillow Shams

Thanks for the ideas to use for charm packs.  I like that you showed off great fabric with both the traditional quilt use as well as something along the lines of pictures and vases.

@ Leah Little: Unfortunately, we have to limit our giveaways to USA postal addresses. We know this is a disappointment to some of our loyal visitors outside of the USA. However, to open our giveaways internationally, we would have to understand complex contest laws for every country in the world. The legal fees to do that are far beyond our means. So instead, we focus on providing the best free sewing tutorials, tips and inspiration we can.
