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 agoThese gorgeous fabrics would make a beautiful fresh quilt – using large pieces to highlight the fabric, a few very large simple appliqued flowers to echo those in the fabric, maybe a border in the scooters…perfect for a picnic throw or on a teenager's bed. I'd use the stripe fabric for binding. Inspiring ! thanks for the opportunity.

16 years agoHi, what a wonderful fabric give away you are having. A few years ago I ordered some samples from your company, and then lost the reference, they were new vintage prints and my daughter and I used them for her dollhouse. I think I would make some cushions for my home.
Thanks, Beth

16 years agoMy husband and I sold all of our furniture when we moved from LA to Chicago. We are finally moving in to our new apartment on May 1st. I really want to decorate with as many pieces of repurposed furniture as possible, instead of buying all brand new furniture. This fabric would go towards making something old into something new – maybe a cute footstool or pillow

16 years agoThe teal colorway of 7 prints just screams out to be a quilt or flirty skirt. Teal is my mother's (79 years young) favorite color, and this set of Monaco fabrics would fit our color scheme perfectly. Thank you for this giveaway. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

16 years agoI've been waiting for summer to attack some of the projects in the 1-yard-wonders book. I'd love to combine these fabrics to use on some of those projects. (In particular, I'm thinking of a little fabric box to give to my new roommate when we move into our new apartment together!)

Lisa Mummy Wallig
16 years agoBeautiful, cheerful, happy fabrics. The Teal colorway is so fresh! I would make either a baby quilt for my work colleagues (2 are expecting) or a tablerunner or tablecloth for my Food Share table. We use wonderful fresh fruits and veggie to teach people how to cook healthy meals at emergency food pantries.
Sarah
16 years agoPajama pants! The waistband would be from the flower print on the top right. I would order some more of the scooter print for the pants and add a 4″ patchwork strip made from the rest of the fabrics to the end of each leg.
