Feeling a Little Corny


I have had this corn on the cob fabric in my stash for years!  It was something I acquired from a gentleman at church after his wife and then mother passed away.  It was a large collection of fabrics that filled the entire back of our jeep.

I sorted through and set aside all cotton/quilting fabrics.  And then continued sorting by fabrics that I could use for other projects (like skirts and dresses for OCC) and other stuff that I just did not want to keep.  (I simply did not have room to store it.)  I invited a friend to come take a look as well.  She left with several arms full of fabrics and notions.

The remainder of the stuff that I could not use was donated to the community theatre for their use.  They were thrilled with the donation and offered us some free tickets for an upcoming performance.


In December we had purchased a box of microwave popcorn for when the girls stayed with us over New Years.  Rather than let it sit and get old, I thought it would be fun to make some cards for the grands.  Since Valentines Day just around the corner, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to create some pretty corny, quilted cards for them. 

I enlisted help from friends on fb and insta to come up with the sayings...  


What would you have suggested for the cards?

I have several yards of the fabric left... I'll likely just keep it on hand for more cards but it would make a good tablecloth or quilt for a picnic... 

What's your best corny suggestion?

Leave a comment... I'd love to hear from you.

Gotta have this fabric?  Send me an email... we can make a deal!  MelvaLovesScraps@NolanQualityCustoms.com

Keep Piecing,

    Punny! I got a kick out of your creativity and sense of humor with this project. I second the motion to make a picnic quilt with the remaining yardage. : )
