11 fat quarters? Well, If I won, I would be able to make a lot of things! Some I would save for my daughter's next quilt, others would be turned into parts of dresses and pouches. This would actually be a great collection to win for me, most of my stash right now is "boy" stuff.

ReplyDeleteI love that line! I would do a table runner and napkins!
ReplyDeleteAlready a follower!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful fabrics! I want to make one of those fashionable quilted purses everyone is toting around. I'd give a couple of pieces to my wonderful grandmother and I'd save a couple for my quilting endeavors. Thanks for the chance to win. :)

I am not a seamstress, but these would work great as backgrounds for my upcycled frame dry erase boards! So great! Orangies Attic
ReplyDeleteI'm just learning quilting now (I'm in the process of finishing my first group of quilt blocks) so if I won, I'd definitely use these to start quilt number 2!
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower!
ReplyDeleteI'm already following you :)
ReplyDeleteI love those colours! :) I've been itching to make some little rag dolls with felted brooches and this would be perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat yummy fat quarters those are! But I'll be honest and say that I'm clueless about what I'd create with them ;) I don't sew...yet. So it'd probably be something more mixed media inspired than sewing inspired. Thank you both for offering up such a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway! My first thought was what a fun twirly skirt I could make for my granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower!
ReplyDeleteHuh, and I thought I was already a follower... Regardless, I am now/again! ;)
ReplyDeleteWow. I would probably either make a quilt, or lots and lots of pencil cases. or maybe some mug rugs...the possibilties are endless!
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm also a follower (: I love you blog, especially the recent pillows.
ReplyDeleteOK, twist my arm. Honestly, I'd add it to my stash for when I need those colors. I'm so boring....
ReplyDeleteI follow!
ReplyDeletelove these fabrics! I'd love to make a quilt with these, they look sooo good together!
ReplyDeleteapplejack85 @ yahoo.com
Oh, dear! The choices of what to make would be endless! I'm a tactile kind of person so I like to touch material and then an idea of what to make forms. Somehow stroking the picture of the fabric on my monitor isn't working....hhhmmmm
ReplyDeleteCute fabrics! With that many fat quarters I foresee some twirly skirts for my daughter and maybe some new project bags for my knitting...!
ReplyDeleteand I follow your blog already!
ReplyDeleteo geez, you spoil us maureen! I would probably stash it for a bit to drool over and would love to see it end up in some patchwork pillows, cushions, or mini-quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, I would totally turn these into the New Wave quilt by Oh, Fransson! They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I follow the blog too of course!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh I love it :) I'd love to make a tea cozy aNd a tea tray cover....a Teddy bear and a handbag! I have warm wood stained handles begging for this fabric :)
ReplyDeleteI am a follower :)
ReplyDeleteIf I won I would pass these beautiful fabrics onto my sister who is just starting to sew and quilt. The next step is for her to start building her stash!
ReplyDeleteI added your blog to my Google Reader
ReplyDeleteOh lovely! I'd make something for myself. I bought one of these FQ sets as soon as it came out to make a quilt for my husband... the quilt took up all but one inch strip from each FQ. I had nothing to play with when it was all done! :) They're lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd... I follow your blog of course! Another lover of AMH! :)
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use it for a quilt! Thanks for the chance to win! sophie (at) bleuvanille (dot) come

ReplyDeleteWhat an exiting giveaway, and so generous too! If I won I would be thrilled, there are so many possibilities for such beautiful fabrics! I would definitely be looking into making some of the bags which have been calling out to me for so long!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I follow your lovely blog, of course!
ReplyDeletei really love anna maria horner, but innocent crush is my favorite. I have it in a lot of voiles and velveteens, but no quilting cottons. I think it would be perfect for totes, and since it's from one palette, they all coordinate!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI would make some wallets for myself and my sisters and we are going to Holland soon so I would need to make some for the inlaws too!
Oh please, pretty please!
I would make a quilt with some large patches so I wouldn't have to cut up that beautiful fabric too much. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't what I'd make. I would just let the fabric inspire me.
ReplyDeletekatelyn.j.stephens at gmail dot com
This color palette is not what I usually go for, but I love the way each piece blends so beautifully into the next. I would have to make a bed quilt, or maybe a pretty table runner, or both... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabric. I have lots of baby quilts that I have to make. This would be a pretty palette for some of those.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I know just what I would do! I have a pattern for a beautiful quilt, using "Innocent Crush", and I believe it came from Ashley of Film in the Fridge...I've been on the lookout for the eleven or twelve fat quarters it requires. These lovelies would move me from dreaming to doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Love the name of the shop!

Oh yeah, listing the ideas! Would make some great doll quilts for the grandgirls' dollies or even a sweet sundress for all of the girls themselves. And if I got really ambitious, the local cancer center can always use head coverings for the ladies and girls. Mom could use a new coverlet as well. Ack... it'd be fun making up my mind!
ReplyDeleteOh...what a lovely giveaway...I would dearly love some Innocent Crush.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway - and it's in my favorite colorway too!
ReplyDeleteI was just buying some innocent crush and couldn't get some of those prints from my source - glad to know I can get them this way :) I'm thinking quilt! I'm up to my second one.
ReplyDeleteI am also a follower :)
ReplyDeleteI would use them to make a quilted shower curtain!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm so fortunate as to win ....then would use these fqs to make a gorgeous quilt ... after I let my mother decide if one will work for a dress she wants to make for a great-granddaughter. Thanks for introducing me to a new shop.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to use them in a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing lots of pretty things in my future with these gorgeous fabrics. They'll make pretty clutches or an amazing quilt. I'll have to decide in the moment.
ReplyDeleteI need a new tote bag and this would make a really cute one!
ReplyDeleteI would make a purse or some cute pillows! Thanks for the giveaway =o)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and your pics, Maureen. You are so talented and have inspired me to want to be more crafty...if i had more time i'd be even more inspired. I'd like to work on a few things but will prob. have to call upon my gram for some help b/c i am not as crafty as you ;-) would like to make a purse, if it turned out nice i'd like to make one for a friend as well. also inspired by your pillows i'd like to try soemthing like that - i have some iron on decals i just purchased from Uppercase Living that would match lila's room.... i also love aprons bu thave never made one, need a pattern.

ReplyDeleteI'm entering for my mom! Love Maureen Cracknell Handmade!
ReplyDeleteI love those colours! I don't know what I'd make with it but I know I'd make a mess whilst doing it!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I'm working on a wall of embroidery hoops in my new apartment, so I'd use the fabric for those & to make cute trifold wallets.

Maureen, I am in awe of everything you do and I seriously want to be your new best friend but alas I'm in Australia and have to be content with reading your blog and wishing I could travel to your vast countryside as it looks so pretty and inspiring. You make your own maple syrup?!?! Yes, I'm a follower...and (as Maxwell Smart would say) LOVING it.
ReplyDeleteNow I make teddybears out of fabric so I would be in absolute heaven with the wonderful supply of fat quarters from The Fabric Farm. Could make a range of co-ordinating quilting bears. I'd also go crazy making a table runner with pillows to match. Ahhh, bliss! And just in case I'm doing this all wrong, you can find me on facebook under Adorabears By Sue. Thanks lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have a new quilt design I created I'd like to use it for!
