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!

16 years agoOoh, just the right amount to make a quilt for my oldest son! I'm in the process of finishing a quilt for his little brother's toddler bed, and he dropped a not-so-subtle hint that he'd like a new one for himself. 🙂

Southern Sunshine
16 years agoI love making quilts, and think one made of your new fabrics would be fantastic for a picnic. Also, they would look terrific fashioned into a summer table cloth, and/or place mats.

Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! 🙂
jenn
16 years agoOkay- the scooters need to turn into a simple backpack for when I ride my scoot, and the birds need to become a skirt for my daughter. I just love the birds. Love!
kirsten
16 years agoThese colors would be great for bermuda shorts or button up shirts for my boys for summer. So cute with a coordinating knit shirt with applique. Love it!
m debello

Frannie
16 years agoI love all your designs. I would make lovely little heart pillows for family and friends as my grandmother once did.

16 years agoI am not sure what I would make..would have to admire and touch and smell the fabric first and think about it! 😀 Lovely fabrics! The scooter, orange aqua and the brown with circles are my favorites! Very nice!
Teresa Stroud
16 years agoI would make a purse for my daughter and neices and some decorator items for the kitchen. These colors are great for spring/summer.
Jenny
16 years agoThese would make CUTE summertime bags – whether lunch bags, tote bags, purses and more!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Samah
16 years agoThe fabric is so fun and they all co-ordinate in a way (at least to me).
I would make a shopping bag – not a grocery bag. A shopping bag is a bag you would take if you are shopping at the mall, a vintage store, or any other such venue. Last time I went to the mall and got a t shirt they gave me a bag big enough to fit a full wardrobe – no thanks!
I would also make a matching hat and/or bandanna.
Elizabeth
16 years agoI love the blues and greens! I would love to make some tote bags out of them. Love that scooter fabric!

KelseyRar
16 years agoI think the vertical stripe would make a great apron, with the brown circles for contrast! It might even need a couple of bird patch pockets. I love these colors!
Leanne
16 years agoI've been wanting to make some summer shorts for my son, these would be so cute!
