  1. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  23. What 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!
