Happy one month ahead! I love the fabric, and I would make a small quilt for our front door, that I can hang to remember the anniversary of 9/11. I felt bad this year that I did not think of it sooner!

But I would probably make a sewing machine cover or mat and threadcatcher which has been on my " to do" list for a long time.
I do have a blog sandyssewingcircle, but not a real lot of followers so I posted about your giveaway on the craft forum of which I am a member.

I don't quilt; however, I do make tote bags, walker bags, pillows, and wheelchair bags for my group, World of Charity Stitching and I would share the fabric (if I win) with some of the members who make the lap quilts for us-the quilts are donated to a senior citizen center, a Ronald McDonald House, a children’s hospital, and a domestic violence shelter.
Thanks,
Peggy

I have seen some of the prettiest bags lately (I call them purses). I might be inclined to make a bag for myself with those pretty prints. Spring time will be coming soon and a new bag would be nice.
Congratulations on your month before blogiversary. I am not good at waiting either - I understand completely.
Thank you for the chance to win such nice goodies - love the Easter Bunny wall hanging and all the other goodies too :-)

One of my new year resolutions was to get more organized, so I'd love to use the fat quarters for an idea notebook/binder cover with a coordinating tote. A place to stash my thoughts, and a place to stash my secret supply of chocolate :)..er...I mean "energy bar"!!!! ;)I am a new follower and Robin from Quilty as Charged sent me here.

Susan said...

I am a follower, and I was admiring your bunny wall hanging! Your lotto blocks look good. They were easier than I expected. If I won the fabric, it looks like I could use it for some American blocks I've been thinking about - elongated church dash blocks. Thank you!
