Aloha! Greetings from Maui and yes I brought my computer so I could check the Taffy blog. I plan on making quilt-as-you-go table runners for Christmas gifts this year. I will have 2 room mothers and several friends to sew for. The pattern has a novelty print square set on point in the middle and then strips sewn through the batting and backing on a 45 degree angle on each side. They whip up quickly and are well received. Thanks for the give-away!
ReplyDeletemy wish is simple, i want to make a rag quilt christmas tree, wallhanging. i have all the stuff, just NO TIME!
ReplyDeleteand in my spare time i want to make a throw for the living room in nice colors, instead of the ugly things the kids bring out. ;)
and then a "something" for my bedroom that uses pieces of my wedding. ie, bridesmaid dress fabric, and my dress fabric and some other lovelies. just for the memory.
I have a new love for all things apron. I plan to make myself and my sister each one of these aprons for Christmas this year: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/remembering-christmas-past2
ReplyDeleteI also wish someone (my super talented aunt to be exact) would make me a rag quilt. She made a quilt for my daughter already this year with embroidered nursery rhymes on several of the squares.
I also think that I am going to make some nursing covers for several friends who are expecting. I am sure I will use a bunch of super stylish fabrics for these. :)
Oh I forgot to add that one of my very good friends just had her first child (a little girl) and I plan to cut up parts of my bridesmaid outfit from my friend's wedding and turn it into something cute for the baby's nursery. I am just not sure what yet. Thankfully part of my dress was this pretty pink material and the baby was a girl. So it will all work out.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I am awaiting the birth of my first grandchild, so I am totally into making baby items -- bibs, quilts, wall hangings. I haven't had such fun in quiltmaking for years as all the projects are done with love. I appreciate your great give-away.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make myself a quilt, but I'm busy making a king-size one for my girlfriend getting married in October. I had some Heather Bailey fabric set to the side so I could make my own, then I started making aprons out of them. Oops. In time it will all work out, right now I'm just going with the flow.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jenny in VA
Let's see, I'm wanting to make a bathrobe, a clutch, a skirt, and a bunch of other stuff. I write all my ideas down in a notebook so that I don't feel like I have to remember them. I will be soooo busy until Wednesday, that Mom made me put the notebook away and not even think about what I want to do. Yeah right! :) It's helping a little bit, but I still can't wait to get started on something new. Of course, I need to finish some ufos first!
ReplyDeleteI need to get started on reupholstering a favorite chair. A task so daunting I've been putting it off for...years...so that's what I'd do. Love some of the decorator weights that have come out but I really want to make some quilted fabric to then use to either slipcover or reupholster.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I make... my stash is so large, but I am always searching for more. I would like to make a queen sized quilt for my youngest daughter. I just don't have the time!! Would you do it for me - please.....
ReplyDeleteMy email is blog (dot) sandists (at) gmail (dot) com
I'm in the process of making one of the many Christmas gifts for this year, a picnic quilt and then I want to design a picnic tote for the quilt and all those things that just don't fit into a cooler. All my gifts get posted back to australia, so I need to be on the ball and ahead of schedule to be able to get them mailed in plenty of time. DD has also requested a wall hanging and some Christmas cushion covers so I need to figure those out as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to make a lot this year! for the kids I want to make crayon rolls and I spy bags. and I really really want to get some sort of quilt done
ReplyDeleteI am making each grandchild and DH a quilt for Christmas. I have 3 done, 1 at the quilters, 1 has blocks all finished and ready to put together and the last one is still in a pile.
ReplyDeleteFor each family member, I will make these
http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2008/05/tutorial-fabric-basket.html
I made three yesterday afternoon. they are posted on my blog.

I'm making aprons for Christmas. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have some of my favorites - the Ava Rose, Farmer's Market, and the new Pop Garden!!! I make clothing for children, as well as various other things, so I always put fabrics to lots of good uses.
ReplyDeleteIm just learning to sew and it is so fun.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make my daughter a dress for school, before shes to old to not want homemade clothes(which i hope is never).
I also want to make curtains for my bedroom, and a cute pillow for my bed.
Why don't you host a vintage sheet swap> I just joined one on another blog and would like to join another. We could all swap 7" or 8" squares :o) Amie ;OD
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is seriously a great timely give away!
ReplyDeleteI want to make a square flannel quilt for my just born nephew!!!!!
Thank you for the chance!
Oh wow! I hope to make a quilt. I haven't quilted in several years and now I am getting an itch to quilt again!
ReplyDeleteI want Des to come to CA and show me how to machine quilt this scrappy quilt I'm working on and then we could go to Disneyland! I know you want to... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think about Christmas already, I'm crazy like that. But I really want to make a bag for my neice, but I'm in need of some new fabric, and $40 would more than cover it, leaving a little for me!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make a new bag for myself! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletemindysaid(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love to make a scrap quilt for charity. I'm busy saving scraps, but I don't know if I'll have enough by Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI want to make valences for my kids rooms! And an apron for me if I don't win one!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had time to make all sorts of gifts for Christmas this year! I have made 6 quilt tops since January and have only had 2 quilted! I need more time!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat would I like to make? Oh so many things! I love to try new things for my 3 year old daughter, I'm very into making covered button jewelry and hair accessories (and would love to make them for christmas gifts this year!), and appliqued burp cloths. I have quite an obsession with fabric...it's dangerous for me to go to the fabric store without a project in mind. I'll buy something just because I like it!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my giveaway too!
http://holycraft.blogspot.com
I would probably make candle skirts but who knows once I get the fabric in my hand!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this fabric for my sis - she would definitely love to make a nice skirt out of it! :) Thank you so much!
ReplyDeletebunnybx at gmail . com
I'd like to make a quilted pillow, or a purse...or...well, anything! :D
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make a purse/messenger bag style purse :)
ReplyDeleteI want to make my daughter a quilt for her bed (I have all the fabric and most of it is cut and it has been like that for over a year). I also want to make my daughter some dress up clotes and I want to make myself a few skirts and a few sexy aprons. But, I just haven't had the time or space. Maybe when I move in a few weeks I will have the room and time then. A girl can dream.
ReplyDeleteI am in NEED of a Christmas table runner, apron and throw pillows!!! YES! I'll find something to use these for!!!Please enter me!
ReplyDeleteI want to make a really cute bag to hold all my Primary stuff and I want some pretty aprons made with the new fabric that coming out soon. I think some crayon rolls would be fun to make to give nieces and nephews for Christmas and I will quilt anytime! I could go on and on - there is so much sewing I wish I could work on!!!
ReplyDeleteHey - if you'd come over, I'd work on just about anything!
wow i love to win this so i can make a blankit for my little one thanks
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas, I'm planning on making everyone's presents this year. I just found out that I'm expecting twins..so I don't know if I will have a lot of time to make everything. I plan on making purses, crayon rolls, and some criss cross coasters.
ReplyDeleteI am wanting to make quilted stockings for our family. Don't know how yet, but I'll figure it out I'm sure! Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I've been wanting to make a cozy for my teapot. I am currently just throwing a dishtowel over the teapot to keep the tea hot. I'd really like to make a something cute to use instead!
ReplyDeleteMindy
I would love to make something for everyone on my list. But that won't happen...and I'm not quite creative enough. I would, however, like to try and make a quilt for my husband. I've made them for many of the other family members, but never for him.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about this blog. I just got my first sewing machine and am ready to make anything I can (that is only a straight line of course!!!).
ReplyDeleteSo many things I have in the plans - new furniture is coming so I'd like to make new curtains for our living room - actually I AM going to make new curtains, and I want to make new slip covers for my patio furniture to match my newly painted front porch. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI would make dresses for my daughter! I would make them at my house and maybe even figure out how to sew from a pattern (now that I am learning). :)
ReplyDeleteI've had long skirts for my girls on my mind. I'm so frustrated that all the skirts in the stores for girls are miniskirts. It has been very frustrating. Perhaps I'll just have to make some cute ones for my girls instead!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a nine-patch quilt in a beautiful mix of floral colors.
ReplyDeleteJust a little note: I'm not familiar with your site at all, having just found you through Bloggy Giveaways. It was hard for me to locate your products for sale. In fact I'm not sure I did or if I looked at vendors that you had linked to your site.
I'll admit I am getting old and needing the good old bifocals...so it may just be me. :)
Right now I'm making nursing pads in anticipation of the birth of #3. With the scraps I'm going to make some softies for #1 and #2. I'd really like to try my hand at a patchwork quilt. I've never quilted before. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make and actually finish a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking my first sewing class in about two weeks. I already have a list of things I want to make. Pillows for every room in the house, curtains, clothes for me, clothes for our new baby due in 9 weeks, and anything else I can think of! I plan on becoming a sewing queen!
ReplyDeleteI would like to be able to make handmade purses this year, with zippered tops, and beautiful coordinating linings!
ReplyDeletemaumauisginger at gmail dot com
I would love to make a miniature quilt, since I don't think I can concentrate long enough to make a full size quilt. Thanks for having the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHmm thats a tough one I dont think I have a idea in mind yet. I like to use fabric in my paintings. So I dont really sew things I just it as part of my art. :) I have been making themed angels lately.

I think my grandma is making us a large quilt for christmas, and I am so excited!
ReplyDeleteI really like to sew clothes, but I thought I would take a break and try to make my first quilt. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteticole96(at)msn(dot)com
I really want to make a neat countdown or advent calendar for Christmas. I have seen some cute ones made from mini match boxes or small envelopes.
ReplyDeleteI am really wanting to try my hand at quilting. I am an amateur at sewing, btu I really want to make a simple quilt, this would be a great start and motivator!
ReplyDeleteI really love to quilt. I especially like hand piecing, hand applique, and hand quilting. I'm currently working on a full size Christmas applique -- Twelve Days of Christmas. It's been a long project. I'm on day 8! I can always use more fabric, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
Nice blog, I put you in my reader.
pianananna@gmail.com
I have just recently, as in a month or so ago, fell madly and passionatley in love with sewing!
ReplyDeleteBeing on a super tight budget for Christmas this year...I am super excited to make tons of homemade gifts this year for Christmas...although I think I may be biting off more then I can chew.
I will be making a quilt for my parents (I'd like to make two, but there's the whole time issue and all) to use in their camper. I am making rice/heating bags with sports related cases for two of my BIL's and my FIL. I will be making crayon rolls for my niece and nephews. And I am planning to make box bags for my sister and SIL.
Oh...and that is just the beginning...but most likely all I'll be able to finish before Christmas unless I quit my job and sew all day long. With the exception of not being able to afford fabric, that doesn't sound so bad.
I would LOVE to be able to make some pretty skirts. I also need to have a little girl to make them for.
ReplyDeleteI am making a braid quilt out of a jelly roll of Winter. I may also make a tree skirt. I'd like to possibly make a Christmas and Thanksgiving apron....maybe I need a Halloween one too.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some things for Christmas, but I don't even have a machine yet! I am looking right now and I plan to buy one in August. Having some fabric to start out with would be great; plan to visit your site for future projects, also!
ReplyDeleteI'm making aprons for the women of my family for Christmas. They're easy, practical, and everyone can use a cute one! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome giveaway! nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com I would make totes or an apron.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!! I have been making everything for everyone else and need to amek something for myself. Maybe a nice quilt to cuddle up under, or a nice tote bag, or even new curtains!!
ReplyDeletedkgrayod@yahoo.com
I would love to make some fun purses and aprons even though I don't cook. It would be a funny joke for my boyfriend. I love Michael Millers ginger blossoms fabric. Did I tell you how much I love this fabric. Wouldn't it be great in purses and an apron.
ReplyDeletePolly in Long Beach
I'm wishing to make a great, everyday apron for myself. I have tons of patterns for aprons, but not the nerve to actually start sewing one up!
ReplyDeletejust earlier today I was on Skip to My Lou's blog and she had instructions for a crayon roll - I'd love to make one of these for my nephew to go along with the John Deere coloring book I picked up for him!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping my mom will make me some great new sofa pillows.My old ones are shot!
ReplyDeleteWhat I would really love to make is another quilt. One that is colorful and soft enough for a little person to love and cherish for always.
ReplyDeletealaskawildrose AT gmail Dot Com
this is the best idea. honestly. I love fabric, and being a new sewer (sounds like I'm not alone) I am in fabric lust constantly!
ReplyDeleteI am doing an entirely homemade Christmas so I am hoping to be sewing A LOT!
I want someone to make me a quilted apron! But only if I can pick out the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've seen some pretty amazing Christmas advent calendars floating around the net. Would love to try my hand at making one using your always-lovely selection of fabric. Thanks for the giveaway. claireroach81(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteWOW - how many ways could I spend that?! For Christmas, I would like to make my mom a table topper and maybe one for myself too. :)
ReplyDeletedoncha know I could do some serious damage with that. My plan is to make a small quilt for each of my 7 nieces (and 1 nephew). Visit me at www.mypreppypurse.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI'm a beginning sewer and so far have only done tote bags. So I'll probably make another tote bag. But maybe I'll get adventurous and branch out...Like maybe adding a pocket. :)
ReplyDeleteI am lovin all the handmade bags so I would love to make some. One to keep and the others to give away. Thanks katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI will probably just make cookies again for most people - I would have thought people might get tired of that, but the year I didn't make them a lot of people asked. I knit and sew for birthday gifts sometimes, but at Christmas there are just too many things that would have to be ready at once.
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas, I am making my friends and family an apron. I also am having a baby in September, so I love any baby fabric and any baby stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to make some kids' clothes and quilts. I have 2 little boys though (20 months & 2 weeks) so time just doesn't exist yet. I really need to find space though. I don't have a tutorial yet, but I'd like to make some baby/toddler PJ's out of cloth napkins (or fabric that size). I already made a mommy's helper apron for a friend out of a large cloth napkin.
ReplyDeleteI would like it if my daughter would make me a wall hanging. She quilts really nicely; but it doesn't seem to come my way. :o)
ReplyDeleteSheila
chiliburger@icehouse.net
quilt, bags, and maybe atoy or two.
ReplyDeletei am completely captivated by quilts, but have never tried making one...
ReplyDeletewell, i have all the fabric cut, but i just need the time and energy to make my matching sailboat quilts for my 2 youngest kiddos. (It has been 4 years in the making!) Thanks
ReplyDeleteI want to make some clothes for my little one. And perhaps some matching clothes for her doll. I also saw a pattern for a crayon roll that was so cute, I would love to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could make clothes for my 1 year old twins. Can't, though. :)andrewandkristan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI once saw a stuffed, sewn Christmas tree. It was pretty neat, and probably not hard to make with a pattern. I'd love to make one, or have someone make it for me would be even better.
ReplyDeleteMy latest quilting idea is to take drawings my 3 and a half year old grand daughter made me and turn them into a quilted wall hanging or small doll quilt for her use.
ReplyDeleteThis is my entry for your giveaway!
How fun.
I am planning on making Christmas pajama pants again this year for all four of us!! They are so cute for pictures and my husband wears them year round :)
ReplyDeleteI would use some for contrast for a Duro-ish dress pattern I've had my eye on1
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt or some curtains! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could make these baby shoes:
ReplyDeletehttp://family-centered.com/needleworks/?page_id=278
I tried making them, but crashed and burned on the button holes.
I don't know how to sew, but I'm going to have my mom teach me this winter. I would love to make myself a vintage looking apron!
ReplyDeleteelkmeese (at) yahoo (dot) com
SOOOO many things I wish I could make.
ReplyDelete-Cute baby shoes
-adorable aprons
-great purses/bags
I love fabric, and I'm all about learning new things! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
oh I would love to make a christmas tabel runner this year and a christmas stocking for a friends prem Bub
ReplyDeleteI would love to be in your draw please
hugs Beth
Hello...I wish I had would have taken advantage of learning to sew from my mom when we lived closer!!! now that I want to sew I am w/out her here to teach me!! I want to make clothes for my little girl now and learn to make a least one quilt!
ReplyDeleteI want to finish the Christmas Quilt that I've been working on for the last year.
ReplyDeleteI took a quilting class this spring...I'm totally a new quilter! So I want to start with something smallish...maybe a lap quilt :)
ReplyDeleteYou can contact me through my blog if I win!
I would like to start making some messenger bags, quilts and aprons. I have sewn all my life but have taken a break from it and recently have been bitten by the bug again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to enter such a wonderful giveaway.
I am making baby blankets! ( :
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Thanks so much!

I can't sew at all, how sad is that? But my mom, she's a mad quilter these days. She has been consumed with quilting for the last three or four years. If I win this one, it all goes to her. Maybe she'll make me some kind of cool wall hanging with her winnings!
ReplyDeleteI would try to make a bag with it. I think that would be an easy way to get into sewing. Thanks for the heads up on free patterns!
ReplyDeleteTote bags! I have a love for all things tote bag, and we're also in need of a few new ones for grocery shopping.
ReplyDeleteI want to make handmade pillowcases and embroider them. I have not sewn much so I don't know if that's being unrealistic, but it's a pillowcase right? I mean, it can't be that hard can it?
ReplyDeleteI also have a quilt pattern that my mom bought me to make my first quilt. I want to make it with Ginger Blossom fabric, but haven't saved up enough for the fabric yet! (so if I won I would be so excited!!!)
Thanks for asking that question, it's fun to see what everyone else is working on/wants to work on.

I've never done a quilt, but I've started sewing dresses and shirts for my 2 year old. I'm going to have my mom sew my wedding dress (nothing fancy just a simple dress) soon. I bookmarked you so I could check out all the patterns you have. I would love to win $40 worth of fabric because I am no longer allowed to buy fabric. I went a little crazy at the last few JoAnns sales and have a couple hundred dollers worth stashed in rubbermaid containers!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping at some point to make something for myself -- probably a vintage dress. I think I'll do aprons for everyone for Christmas, though --

I'm making a quilt for my sis-in-law's baby! I want to make an embroidered cloth.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to learn how to quilt, but the task of making a whole quilt seems so daunting to me! I would love to make one for each of my boys. Maybe winning this will give me the kick in the rump I need to get started! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt or throw for the sofa.
ReplyDeleteyourstrulee at sasktel dot net
Oh I'm not the best seamstress so I'd probably whip up something fairly straight forward like a tot bag or maybe some sachets to finally use that packet of lavender that's been sitting here for a month waiting for me to make sachets to put it in... or I'd beg and plead with my mom to spend the rest of her summer off sewing my up a fabulous quilt! ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt for my daughter's room.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this! Please be sure to visit my giveaway, too!
I wish I could quilt. I received a quilt as a gift a few years ago and just love it. I've seen some absolutely beautiful quilts and wish I had a clue....oh I also wish I had the skills to make a quilt. Ok...I'll stick with crocheting LOL.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to make a tree skirt and a small table runner. I would also like to make new stockings for the girls. Looks like I should get started on my Christmas sewing so I can get it all done in time!
ReplyDeleteWow this is the perfect giveaway for my new Etsy store. I am making baby gifts sets and diaper covers. I need more SOFT fabric for those tiny bums. Nice giveaway. :)
ReplyDeletefaithfulmommy03(at)gmail(dot)com
I would love for my sister or mom to makes me some cute aprons!
ReplyDeleteI just want to try and quilt something for my son.
ReplyDeleteI wish that I could sew anything. At the moment, I am trying to sew a button on some pants for my husband. Try being the keyword. Neither my mother nor any of my grandmothers sewed, so I have never had anyone teach me anything. In our house if a button fell off, you were out of luck. Now with three children, that is not an option, so I am trying to teach myself, LOL:)
ReplyDeleteI use to sew when I was a teen, my mom was a seamstress!! I lost interest over the years! Now that I am 50 I want to start sewing again but I need a sewing machine. Been thinking I could make bath towels for everyone for Xmas!!
ReplyDelete113 COMMENTS!!!??? Insane I tell you.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm Does that magic number have anything to do with TOMORROW??? :D
What I WANT to make for Christmas -#1 a big rag quilt for my son's bed. Flannel, with animals and camo and plaids.
Just received an item I ordered from your store. Thanks! I am always making something. I mean ALL THE TIME. I had to take a little break, but snuck in a throw pillow today and next up will be a purse for myself. I make bags, dish towels, headbands, wristlets, window treatments, slipcovers. You name it. I have made one baby quilt so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about a new tree skirt and matching stockings! I've seen some great ideas but haven't settled on one yet. You're offering a great prize! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
ReplyDeleteI want to make dolls for my nieces and stuffies for my nephews. I enjoy simple projects like these because they make memorable gifts for the kids without costing us a ton. I also want to make a quilt to send to my mom who I haven't seen in three years due to living half way across the country (literally) from her.
ReplyDeleteMy list is on going currently I am trying to find patters to help me become more organized so that I can find everything.
ReplyDeleteI am going to do something with the Mary Englebreit Christmas charms and panel. Maybe just half square triangles all around the panel-maybe not. Can't decide, but it is the only thing I will do for myself for Christmas this year I am sure. I have already designed and made a large tablerunner pattern out of Winter by Moda, and a large lap size quilt out of Faye Burgos' Christmas line as well-that one was very traditional. I am still finishing the instructions on that one. These were both exclusives for shops here in Utah.
ReplyDeleteFeeling a little Christmas-ed out already! I do love It's Snowing by Moda too. I may buy it just to hoard it for now....
I think the Christmas quilt (Christmas quilt # 3 so far!)I made for The Material Girls where I work, will go to my Mom as a Christmas gift. That one was out of a line by Henry Glass fabrics.
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus- and I am now sick of Christmas fabric in July!!!! :) Bah Humbug! ;)
I want to make myself an apron.
ReplyDeletedbstout[at]juno[dot]com
I think my other comment could maybe win the prize for longest comment---Sorry! Didn't mean to be long-winded. Lastly I forgot to say I think I will NOT make anyone anything for Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt that I saw in a magazine--- it was a Fons & Porter pattern that used Anna Griffin rose fabric. I've never tackled a quilt before, and I'm a little nervous to start. Maybe I'll start with pillows first.
ReplyDeletersgrandinetti@yahoo.com
I'm not sure what I would make. With the economy being so poopy, I would like to make quite a few gifts this year for Christmas and involve my daughters in it too. Maybe pillows? Or lapquilts?
ReplyDeletewow, fabric! i would love to win!
ReplyDeleteI heart fabric. I want to make alot of things. For my boys- capes and a tote bag. Build up my inventory my etsy shop that hasn't open yet.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I want to make a Christmas quilt for my new granddaughter Annika and the adorable stacking rings from Heather Bailey...in my last scraps of Freshcut and of course her first Christmas stocking. Whew...thats just the list for the baby!
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn to make a quilt. My aunts all quilt and so did my Grandma, but I haven't learned!
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to make a quilt for our queen size bed for years now. I had made one about 12 years ago and it's falling apart. I don't want someone else to make it. I want to make it myself. It just seems more special that way.

I finally have a baby girl after 3 wild boys and I would love to make her a sweet girly quilt! (I love my boys too, but they don't like pink, girly quilts!) thanks!

I would love to make some aprons for family members for gifts this year!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to make a quilt for my daughter. I just haven;t been able to get started. Finding the right fabric is half the battle
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to try the trendy aprons.
ReplyDeleteMy mother in law got a me a sewing machine for Christmas and I'm still learning how to use it. I would like to make clothes for myself, blankets for my boys beds. Most of all I'd like to do a detailed quilt for my bed, but I know that's far into the future.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make some fabric nativity crafts. A nativity quilt, especially.
ReplyDeleteI also need a new Christmas runner.
I have been wanting to make curtains for my living room and dining room and one to "hide" my storage under my bar.
ReplyDeleteHi from Perth, West Australia!!
ReplyDeleteI would love love love someone to make me something for a change!! I seem to spend my life making things for everyone, finishing off other people's projects (cos they just don't have time and apparently I do) doing other people's mending, or showing other people how to make things!! It would be sooooo lovely for someone to take the time to make me something, anything!
I would love to be able to make curtains out of antique fabrics, but thats an expense for our permanent home.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'd really like is for my brother-in-law to teach or make me one of his crazy quilt Christmas stockings! It takes him a full 8 hours to create one. They look and feel better then anything out on the market during the holidays!

I just posted on my blog the dress I just finished. I'm new to sewing and need all the help I can get. But I actually bought fabric to make Christmas pillow cases for this year. Something easy no doubt! Some free fabric would be great.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kim
usually I buy my childrens dresses for Christmas..this year I am hoping tosew them myself!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could make a quilt. I haven't spent a lot of time sewing. But I really want to learn. I have fabric and patterns and supplies stashed for when I get started someday. Maybe this winter I'll finally get around to it. I have a SIL who sews a lot. I'd probably buy some fabric for her with this prize.

I have scads of Sandi Henderson Farmer's market fabric as well as Heather Bailey FreshCut and Pop Garden on it's way. I'd love some time to brew something up with some of them!! I know not Christmas related but, sooo much fun!!
ReplyDeletewow it's getting crowded in here. i hate crowds. but they're all quilters or want-to-be-quilters. so i'm o.k. this is the time of year i try to pin down what i am going to make for xmas. i have a few ideas i am contemplating. but my xmas present for others is that if you are wishing that you want to start sewing or that you are saying that you want to start quilting - that you make that wish come true. because it can be very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteOh I just got into making fabric buttons I love those...and I have also been wanting to make one of those chalkboard placemats for me kids but haven't been able to find the chalkboard fabric yet LOL. I've just started this whole sewing thing so its all an adventure for me!
ReplyDeleteI love fabric!! It will definitely be sewn into something beautiful...thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am a starter sewer (daughter and wife of much more experienced sewers - maybe that's why I never tried - until I became Mommie)and need some fabrics to make some of my starter projects: baby tunics and PJs, a crib sheet, cushion covers. Free fabric would be such a big motivation ;)
ReplyDeleteSo, So many things I'd like to sew. First up though, perfecting my apron design...
ReplyDeleteAs a side comment though, THANK YOU for not having auto play on for your playlist!!!!! That turns me away from so many blogs and it's a shame. I love the feature, but until your blog didn't realize auto play was an option. Now I'll go play...
Wow...so many things that I could make....aprons, placemats, curtains, pinafores, or a quilt for my girl. I love fabric. :D
ReplyDeleteHI from TN. I have been looking for fabric to make my daughter a new bedspread and curtains. I have yet to run across the perfect fabric yet...but I'm still looking!
ReplyDeletewell, I have a list of things to make that will take me the rest of my life! But I would love to make a duvet cover and curtains for our bedroom to go with the new paint job.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the ability to make my own baby a mini-quilt/blanket with retro/fun fabric on one side and chenille or fleece on the other. However, I am not crafty, nor do I sew. So in truth, I really, really, really hope someone makes one for me. he, he. Thanks for a great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteA few years ago I made a king size quilt for my brother and his wife. Now my sister and her hubby want one, too. I guess I have my work cut out for me!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I don't sew, but I do make no-sew, fleece knot blankets for family and friends at the holidays! Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI would make anything, anytime, anywhere with fabric! I LOVE fabric! However, I have a two-year-old so I don't ge the time I'd like. Would LOVE to win this!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could crochet. I'd make an amigurumi doll. I'd love to sew and make a quilt out of pieces of my mom's clothes.
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway! :) i hope i’m the lucky winner
I'm having so much fun blog hopping! I'm glad I found your blog :)
I'm glad I found your blog! I'm interested in learning to sew bags, so this would come in quite handy!
ReplyDeleteI want to make an apron, because I'm a messy cook, and because aprons make housework so much more fun.
ReplyDeleteOH MAN!! I am in full mae stuff for the baby mode (she's due by the end of Aug) but I would LOVE to have a handmade tree skirt -- I have several baby quilts to maike for the new LO.
ReplyDeleteI adore fabric, so I took up sewing to feed the habit! Baby dresses are my new thing...so, so precious. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat I WISH I could make - a t-shirt memory quilt for my ds and one for my dh. I am sort of afraid to cut up dh's rowing shirts without his consent but then it wouldn't be a surprise!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Giveaway! Right now I'm working on my summer stash quilt. Next up is bed skirt and window valance for my daughter's room. I also am making a skirt for my craft room table (already bought fabric from you guys for this!). I would like to try Sandi Henderson's 'Claire' pattern (CUTE). For the holidays, I want to make a new tree skirt - I am thinking 3 sisters Peace on Earth, now I just need to find a cute pattern!! AND, about 20 other projects in mind as well!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I found your site! I am always looking for new fabric! This Christmas I want to make my daughter a stocking. My Mom made ours growing up, and now that my daughter will actually understand a little bit about Christmas (she is 14 months old) I would love to continue that tradition and give her her own handmade stocking! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI wish someone would make me a cute maternity skirt. None of my clothes are fitting well and I'm struggling to come up with something. Why do retail stores think pregnant moms want to wear minis?
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
Stop by our blog for a Country Home magazine giveaway.
I'd like to make a quilted blanket for my friend who's baby is due in Sept.

I would make my daughter a dress or make a picnic quilt for my family.
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased a vintage
ReplyDelete1950s child's dress pattern, and I can sure see making it up in one of your pretty pastel fabrics!
I just finished my first garment, but I would LOVE to make a quilt. I have a design figured out, but I am stuck at the "fabric selection" phase. I started sewing last summer, and I am totally smitten!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are making me think a little. Confession: I haven't thought much (at all) about Christmas gifts yet. I should start to do that though, shouldn't I.
ReplyDeleteI am a fabric FIEND, you hear? LOVE it. I'm not entirely sure what I would make, but I would definitely be making it at home on my old trusty sewing machine. Maybe some new fabrics would inspire me to greatness. :) One thing I would like to do is sew a few Amy Butler purses. I could use the fabrics for that! :)
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I love to sew but unfortunatly me and my machine seem to be stuck on quilts (especially rag quilts) I saw some adorable pieced Christmas Stockings on a blog last year and would love to have a pattern for something like that! Thanks so much for the great giveaway! audrajjensen(at)msn(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMy aunt has just started making me clothes and I love it...I want to learn. Especially because my husband has really short legs and can't get pants to fit him in stores, so it would be nice to be able to hem some pants for him instead of paying $15 a pop! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been making lots of baby stuff--all my friends are having babies. Onsie dresses, baby shoes, blankets, burp cloths..
ReplyDeleteum, gee, hard to pick one, i have my hands in everything lately, what a mess, i'd have to say i'd like to start a quilt for my daughter, lots of different fabrics, something she can keep always
ReplyDeleteI am hankering to make a scrappy dress for my 5 year old for kindergarten, slipcover a little chair, and make curtains for my three girls' rooms. So much sewing, so little time. Thanks for the chance--jenniebboyd@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI want to make my very first quilt for my 2nd child. I was w/ my sis-in-law this weekend (who sews) and she is totally inspiring me to try it and best of all, is even willing to help me learn, thanks.

I want to make bags for me and my friends.

If I won, I would give that $40 credit to my mom because she quilts and I do not. :)
ReplyDeletemrandmrslemon(at)insightbb(dot)com
I want to make stockings with embroidered pictures of elves, holly, etc on them. I think it would be much better than cheapo dollar store stockings!
ReplyDeleteI love fabric, pick me!
Hm, do you have pattens? Maybe I'd get my inspiration from your site!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably make a baby gift-I'm getting a new niece-phew in just a few short weeks.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I knew how to make an apron. one day I will learn!

I'd love to make a wrapless wrap. :) They are really expensive. I'd also love to make some gifts for Christmas and maybe my etsy store if they turn out well. :)
ReplyDeleteI looooove fabric. I would like to make an appliqued top and skirt for my kids......or perhaps something for me...
ReplyDeleteI want to make a quilt for each of my boys.
ReplyDeleteI love to sew! For several years I have been making my granddaughters Christmas and Easter outfits. Now that I have 11 gradndaughters and a 12th due in September it has become quite a bit. However, I will still sew something!

I wish I could make my mom a memory quilt! But I am just not that good.
ReplyDeleteLast year we made all our Christmas gifts for everyone. I made stuffed kittens for my neices & cousins. I realized I never made any for my kids! I'd love to get started right away. Thanks for the giveaway & patterns. I've got you bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have pie on my face... and posted for the giveaway on the wrong blog:)
ReplyDeleteBut it felt good to wish Corrie a Happy Birthday and say thanks for all your sewing cheer you share with all of us.
I want to make all my R.....S......ladies cute sexy aprons to wrap themselves up in as gifts for their husbands for Christmas!:)

My fingers have been itching to sew a quilt. I think I want to so a Shoo Fly pattern, easy but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDon't laugh but I may just want to start with some throw pillows. Have not sewn in over 10 years. Thinking of trying to pick it up again
ReplyDeleteI would love to make my 4 daughters ( 1 by birth and 3 because they married the best hubby's ) matching table runners and hot pads for Christmas to adorn their kitchens.
ReplyDeleteI'd also love to make our 10 little ones cosy quilts to wrap up in under the tree so know their Nana loves them...
Love your blog and thanks for the give away!
I wish I could design my own clothes and make them.
ReplyDeletecmartin0055 @ aol . com
I'm very busy making quilts for all my family members and some friends. I'm using scrappy patterns so that I can use up some of my huge stash. I know I can't finish all of them in time for this Christmas, but those who don't get one this year will get one next year. I already have 2 tops done waiting to be quilted and all the blocks for one more. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!!! Please include me!

I'm making sets of cloth shopping totes for everyone for Christmas
So this is my first try at a blog giveaway. GOOD LUCK ME

I've gotten sick of all the unflattering tops they have in stores right now. I've spent two pregnancies wearing billowy maternity tops. Why would I want to wear something that looks like a maternity top when I'm not even pregnant?!
ReplyDeleteSo... I found the cutest shirt pattern with a trim waistline and three sleeve possibilities, and I think I'm going to make a whole collection of them out of different fabrics! Think anyone will notice? ;)
My mom makes everything... dolls, curtains, clothes... me, no craft talent... what happened??
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Well, I'd love to make a quilt even though I'm not very good at sewing, but I bet I could talk my sister into helping 'cause she's really good!
ReplyDeleteWell I am behind on making knitted Christmas stockings. I have three to make. I also have a snowman small quilt I started a few years ago. This year I may even get to make ornaments. I need to start now. Linda Gerig
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit of a novice, but I'd try to make my daughter cute, age-appropriate clothes. (I'm a bit tired of seeing clothing for 2-3 year olds with writing across the tush!) I also can't wait to check out the patterns in your side-bar.
ReplyDeleteEnter me, please!
