I got an email from Jan over at Daisy Janie this week with a great idea for celebrating Earth Day – a blog-hop giveaway of organic fabric! I’ve never done a giveaway before – haven’t had much to give away – but this happens to coincide perfectly with the arrival of the first bolts of my new organic collection, Monaco. I’m offering up 1/2 yard each of 7 prints from the teal colorway – all you have to do is take a look at the prints and leave a comment with your ideas of what to make with them. (I’ll be doing a lot of sample sewing over the next month, and I need ideas!) Then, go ahead and click on the links to the other 11 fabulous designers to enter their giveaways. The giveaway will end at 7am Cali time (10am EST) on Monday, 4/26, and I’ll pick the winner in a blind draw. So, without further ado, here are the prints! Let me know your ideas.
Here are the links for the other participants. Good luck!

14 years agoOMG! I LOVE your new prints! Yesterday, I watched an awesome tutorial on making fabric journals. That would be the first project I would make with your beautiful fabric!

14 years agoThanks! These look great! I'm in the process of re-doing a bedroom to be a combo craft room / bedroom. I think these would make luscious pillows and a bulletin board and maybe some curtains or valances.
I'm going to follow your blog as well!

14 years agoNice! What I am planning to do if I win 😉 is nothing new. I would like to create animal shape pillows. I have two dachshunds (Odie and Picasso) at home and I think it would compliment my lovely dogs.

14 years agoI love your fabrics and I've used a lot of them before in my quilts, so I would guess if I won that I would be quilting up a storm! For your sample sewing… how about a messenger bag with those devine little scooters??

14 years agoI love the scooters and the birdies. 🙂 Okay, I've been sharing the same idea on each blog, but that's because I'd really like to see these! And I think your fabric would make really cute knitting needle cases with coordinating little yarn totes. Seriously, I need six of these in use at a time! Cute, cute fabrics.
