So that you know I don't just have Christmas on the brain.....I need a good idea for a birthday gift for my sister.
Corrie Dawn.
She's growing older by the minute.
Leave a gift suggestion for me, for Corrie.
Corrie stay away.
Random Drawing later tonight!
Email addresses people!!
Just a few weeks ago I drew THREE names and no way to contact you.
I just kept drawing until I had one with contact info. We missed you!
I would make her a kitchen set, things to cover things in the kitchen. Maybe something to cover her kettle, toaster and keep it warm and cosy hehe.
ReplyDelete*shriek*! i love the candyland line. such yummy fabrics
ReplyDeletesomething for Corrie-i'm going to suggest a new bag. using her favoritest fabric line
Hi. May be you can give her a winter tabel runner in her favorite colours?
ReplyDeleteSoft fabrics are sooo great to make small winter quilts. ;-)
I love the winter wonderland fat quarter pack!
ReplyDeleteFor Corrie... how about a cute sewing book? Like "Weekend sewing"... I would love to get my hands on that book!!
Contact:librosfera(at)gmail(dot)com
If I were her, I would appreciate more threads and fabric.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I so love your choices of fabrics for this giveaway! Hope I win something!!
ReplyDeleteAs for your sis' birthday...hmmm...how about a fresh, new tote for her summer outings?!! Sounds good to me!
blessings,
Leona
How about a new tablecloth (made with some lovely fabrics!) and a pan of homemade brownies?!
ReplyDeleteI just love christmas and these fabrics are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat to give your sister for her birthday. What about making up a little drawstrinbag filled with bathfoam, soap and perfume or if she likes tea, perhaps a nice teacup and delicious tea.
I really hope to win these lovely fabrics.
I would love a soft winter blanket to snuggle in, so that's what I would start to make for my sister (then end up keep it myself!).
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Corrie, and I think a Beautiful hand made Jewelry set from Etsy maybe would be very nice. I love Pretties!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are beautiful and I would love to make some funk patch lounge pants for my daughter!
Soft as an elfs bottom... hehehe
I don't know about your sister, but for me the ideal gift would be maid service! Even if it's just for one visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
oh, such gorgeous fabrics! :D
ReplyDeleteho hum ho hum. what to get for corrie?
errrmm... im currently obssessed with vintage things. perhaps you can hunt for something vintagey that she can put in the kitchen as decor? a lovely jug-turned-vase, a picture or some old, lovely plates :)
Happy birthday to you sister. If her birthday is soon, she is a Cancer...very interspective...how about a lovely new journal? She can keep thoughts, quilt ideas, or to vent frustrations. Anyway, Im a Cancer and it takes one to know one! Thanks for the fabric giveaway. Jenny
ReplyDeleteKRousegirl2 at aol dot com
Hmmm.... I don't know Corrie, but a nice SOFT flannel sleep gown would be wonderful for her to have once the weather gets colder. And for now How about a light beach cover-up.
ReplyDeleteebandit AT hotmail DoT com
What about a basket full of goodies like chocolates, cookies and some fabrics too.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
eli_green22 at yahoo dot com dot br
How about making her a photo quilt of you guys over the years. I love the little poem with the photos you did for her on the other post. How about doing that into a quilt or wall hanging?
ReplyDelete~Tootles!
A spa day! One of the best gifts I ever received. Of course you would have to go along too. Just to make sure she enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Corrie! A girl's day out just doing your favorite things together would be a great way to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute fabric. I am not in the Christmas mood yet, but know I will be:) roseylittlethings@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLove Christmas fabric and Moda stacks! You can pick me!

ReplyDeletehhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....................

oh, and maybe a pair of flannel socks to match
How about some pillow covers? Francis Moore
ReplyDeletefmoore11589@comcast.net
Oh, I love the candyland line. So cute!!! For Corrie, how about a basket made up with some of her favorite fabrics, maybe a good book, maybe some hot cocoa mixes and a handmade coaster or other small handmade items. Thanks for a chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteorr20004(at)msn(dot)com
What a lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMay I suggest to purchase a book that your sister would like and make a fabric cover for it using her favorite fabrics?!
Thanks for the chance to win.
what about a cute pin cushion made out of some of that fabric......no one has a christmas pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteJane
jane@w-efarms.com
I am so getting in the mood for Christmas with all these great fabrics.
ReplyDelete...for Corrie, how about a purse or beach tote? okay, so I am purse-obsessed right now, but who can't use another purse?
barbaramkelly(@)gmail(.)com
Who doesn't love a new manicure and pedicure? Always a good gift! Thanks for the chance to win fabric, maybe it will get me in the Christmas making spirit.

I'm going to suggest a new purse made out of some of those yummy non-flannel christmas prints. Beki (artsy-crafty babe blog) has a sweet (and free) purse pattern on her blog that would be adorable made from those prints. And who doesn't need a Christmas purse in July? Okay, she might not be able to use it right now, but the holidays will be here before you know it. I love me a cute Christmas purse. Makes me feel special to have a purse that I can only use for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteMake Corrie's gift Christmas in July--Christmas apron with matching hot pads or dish towels.
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas prints!
Kolleen
kqueenbea@yahoo.com
What girl couldn't use a new bag? Such a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Corrie!!!
ReplyDeleteI would make her a couple of scrappy quilted bookmarks and then buy her a couple of books to use them in...
like "Material Obsession" or "Weekend Sewing"
Or some novels that she's into.
Wrap them up in a fat quarter and you're set!
And thankyou for the opportunity to win your giveaway!
ALL of those fabrics are FABULOUS!
I would count myself blessed to win any of them!

We've seen that she is really good with baking, so I would get her a really nice baking book and make her an apron.
ReplyDeleteEverybody loves a new bag for their birthday...and don't forget to put a dollar in it, that is a must. I love that candyland line...it is soooo adorable. My email is in my profile, just in case. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh that Jingles fabric is cute, but I love Candyland so that is a tough choice.
ReplyDeleteA birthday present- how about a selection of different colored spools of thread? My mom sent me some and I loved having different colors and what quilter doesn't need thread all the time.
spackattak7(at)hotmail(dot)com
Hmm.. I would make earrings, but that's because I can't really sew well enough to gift it out.
ReplyDeletej.hillam@yahoo.com.
Fingers crossed!!
I always love a movie basket. A couple of great dvds, some munchies, some beverage of choice, a comphy blanket to snuggle under. A fun night all in a basket!
ReplyDeleteAs a quilter, thread would be great, as a baker how about a gift certificate to this great store?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cakeart.com/store/e-StoreOperations_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=780&childIdCategory=780
along with some quilty stuff such as a new apron, pot holders and table runner?
What great giveaways BTW!
Oh yeah- i love the Candyland too! As far as a gift, if she likes jewelry, a hand stamped silver bracelet or neacklace with "sisters" or something on it might mean a lot to her. Etsy has some great shops for this- i like thevintagepearl.etsy.com the best. Good luck!!
ReplyDeletecandy at afconnect dot com
A lapquilt with a flannel backing, divine!
ReplyDeleteHow about a couple of gift cards to her favorite stores?
ReplyDeletecarol_busse@yahoo(dot)com
A gift basket with some of her favorite non-sewing goodies, sprinkled with some colorful fat quarters just for "umph"!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Corrie!
Gorgeous flannels! Hmmm...how about some yummy christmas napkins made out of some yummy christmas fabric?!?
ReplyDeleteA bag! Every gal needs more bags! Love your poem :D I have two girls and I hope they are as close friends as you two are when they grow up!
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous flannels! I say make her a cute bag. A girl can never have too many!
ReplyDeleteI like Candyland and Winter Wonderland! So fun!
ReplyDeleteFor your sister... you could do a kitchen set like post #1. Or an apron, most girls love aprons. Or you could make a cute produce bag (like this tutorial, but add some pizazz!)
http://wisdomofthemoon.blogspot.com/2008/01/cheap-easy-fabric-produce-bags.html
I hope I win that cute fabric!
megan.nadalet at gmail dot com
OMG!! I LOVE the Candyland, it's yummy. Let's see, something for your sister...how about an assortment of nesting storage boxes with fabric, threads,and fun notions in each.
ReplyDeleteWishing Corrie a very Happy Birthday!
Carolyn*
mmm... that fabric looks so soft & cozy! Ok, a gift idea for your sister... why don't you make her a cool handbag?

Of course, we quilters can never have enough fabric, but maybe Corrie does. I love the A&E versions of Sense and Sensibility as well as Pride and Prejudice. But that's me. Also, I like Estee Lauder's Intuition (if they still sell it -- it has been a while since I bought it). Of course, a handmade gift -- a quilt, a bag, cards, et cetera -- would always be appreciated by my sisters.
ReplyDeletejessierey(at)msn(dot)com
If you have time a cute quilt as you so sew quilt would be a great gift.
ReplyDeleteHmm...is she into girly bath stuff? How about some lovely bath products (bath bomb, bubble melty, etc. - have you tried Lush?) in a cute little travel bag? That way the bag is reusable after she's used up all her product.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a cute bag for your sis? Lots of different fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how "old" Corrie is. My Corrie-mom is 50 (my mother-in-law), and she loves gardening and anything to go in the garden. If your Corrie likes cooking, get her an herb garden or something. Or maybe a fun day out on the town. I am such a terrible gift giver. But I love making things for kids (they are easy to please).
ReplyDeleteHAPPY (almost) BIRTHDAY CORRIE!!!
spondah(at)aol(dot)com
What about a circle skirt? I just borrowed a book from the library that had one in. I am now buying the book and looking forward to making it! I think it would look neat made out of an Indonesian batik!

I would so love Christmas jammies with bells...I am obnoxious like that. Give her a massage...always a great gift.
ReplyDeleteI love the jingle flannel, it looks so soft and snuggly, I can just imagine squeezing my little loves on Christmas morning wearing adorable pjs.
ReplyDeleteFor Corrie, I think she needs an escape. A way to recapture her youth, I vote for concert tickets. Now before you start looking to see if Duran Duran is having a reunion, remember at her age (I'll be there in 3 years) the Beach Boys or Neil Diamond may be a tamer option, that won't raise her blood pressure to much.
Kami skookyd(at)cox(dot)net
I would give her a maid for a day to get her housework all done so she can laze or sew. I love the Christmas flannels.
ReplyDeletejethree(at)gmail(dot)com
My sisters just kidnapped me for a day at the spa. We had a great time! After all of that 4Hing she needs a get away (and you, too)! I am really getting in the mood for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHello, How about some new favorite fabric and thread, perhaps with a pattern. And a promise for a meal, so that she can plan an uninterrupted day of sewing.
ReplyDeleteBeverly
lovemyjesus63@gmail.com
The Jingle Flannel is looking pretty awesome, but then all of those are great! I thought Corrie was doing this post, BUT then des signed it, you're confusin' me ladies! Make her a table runner OR a drawstring bag!for her to pack her shoes when she travels to see you!
ReplyDeletep.s. my word verification is 'reactus'...almost as good as rocktastic!?
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite gift is a set of these gloves (so easy to make with a pair of boughten gloves and a scrap of oilcloth)
ReplyDeletehttp://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2008/11/not-your-mamas-rubber-gloves.html
A set of two or three crochet washcloths/scrubbies and a bottle of method dishsoap (fancy!).
Everyone is suggesting nice gifts but since you said "getting older by the minute", I'm thinking something not that nice. How about reading glasses, Ben Gay rub, prune juice, etc? A friend gave these all to me on my birthday but then she sweetened it up with a favorite book and some chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have someone make me anything I do not have to make myself. lindagerig@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics. I've not quilted with fabric before so I'd probably lean toward the Candyland line.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about functional gifts--does she like purses, wallets, that sort of thing? There are billions of beautiful tutorials for purses and wallets and they can be personalized so nicely with just the right fabrics.
I'd suggest a bunch of coordinating items to take over her purse - a kleenex pouch, change purse, key ring wristlet, cheque book cover, business card holder, etc.
ReplyDeleteI am down with christmas fabrics!! please count me in!
ReplyDeletewhat about a fabric purse for a birthday gift??
anne molino at hotmail dot com!
Woo-hooo beautiful Christmas fabrics!
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion for your sweet sister is a little bag and wrap up several special gift certificates. Life having a pedicure, or a massage, a certificate for a day away with YOU! Take her to a special place for lunch and then both of you get pedicures :-) It would be so much more special if you spend time with her. That is better then a material gift. And be sure to take lots of pictures, and give her a little album to put the pictures in for a memory. Hope you both enjoy HER special day! Sisters are special! Thanks for th giveaway :-)
Hmm, is she a sewer? A new sewing book is always nice. Or does she travel? You could stitch her up the new Weekender bag. I love that thing :)
ReplyDeleteA newborn elf's bum??? LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWell if you want to MAKE something for Corrie - a purse or tote bag OR an apron. I love your Sultry tablerunner too. I really think spending time with YOU on her birthday would be a great gift. Getting pedicures, eating out, laughing like I know you two can do....
and don't forget Corrie's TWIN sister - that would be ME! We share a birthday ya know. :D
ReplyDeleteI would love it if my sister gave me a gift certificate for some pampering - a manicure, a facial, a massage, all three... :-) Even better, use it as an excuse and go with her!
ReplyDeleteI never get tired of any kind of giveaway. Love all those flannels. I bet your sister has everything she needs so I would get her several gift cards to her favorite places so she can shop.
ReplyDeleteThe holidays are my favorite time, I could never get tiered of Christmas stuff...and who can be tiered of any giveaway?
ReplyDeleteOf course you could make her one of a million cute things. I was thinking it would be really fun to make appointments for pedicures.
I'm in love with bags right now so a nice new bag for a bday is awesome! Love the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHow about a basket of holiday themed craft/fabric goodies so she can get started on her Christmas sewing/crafting?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this line of fabric - even in 90% humidity!!! :)
what about some lovely sachets and fabric covered hangers to keep her clothes nice?
ReplyDeleteOh! those fat quarters look wonderful! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteFor your sister's Birthday, get her a gift certificate for a Manicure or Pedicure; summer sandals & soft feet. I did this for my sister one time and she was delighted!
Happy Birthday to your sister!
For my sister's birthday, we got manicures together--it was so much fun because it's a rare treat for us :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
yumfree@gmail.com
I'll give my sister some potholders this year. And a little 'pillow' filled with cherry stones (or do you call them pits?), which she can heat up in the microwave and use like a hot water bottle. Maybe that's something for your sister, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric! How about a mani-pedi combo with you along for fun too of course! email is annette dot terpstra at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteWhat to get Corrie Dawn, umm, well make her some freezer meals so she could sew more. Or gas money so she can get to retreat, hand knit or crocheted socks Betsy or Karbear has that pattern I believe. Good Luck with that love ya shelto
ReplyDeleteA day at the Spa would be a great gift. Who doesn't love being pampered with a massage, manicure/pedicure. And better yet, treat your self at the same time and have a great day together.
ReplyDeleteskeeler@hughes.net
I absolutely love the jingles flannel! So cutest! For Corrie--hmmmm....I am thinking that a fun new bag/purse filled with a bottle of her favorite lotion and a gift certificate for a pedicure and manicure! Doesn't that sound and smell fun! she will think of how fun it was every time she uses the bag!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics in your giveaway; soft and cozy perfect for the winter projects on my list!
ReplyDeleteA gift for your sister, How about the two of you spending time together over brunch, maybe some fresh flowers to add to a basket of homemade items and/or her favorite candies or desserts to have with your brunch.

I would think that Corrie would just feel blessed to have you as her sister! Hmm..but maybe she would like something else, too--I think the gift basket filled with candy, fabrics and pictures of her with her kids would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the jingle pack! I already have candyland.
ReplyDeleteI would buy Corrie some hairpins from my Etsy shop http://www.blackcatmima.etsy.com because everyone needs some pretties to put their hair up in summer! tobelinasworld(at)msn.com
Happy Birthday Corrie Dawn!!! Well Des, I would give Corrie a gift certificate to a bookstore and some heavenly chocolates. You can never go wrong with a good book and chocolate. Am I wrong?
ReplyDeleteI ♥ the Winter Wonderland line.

Does Corrie Dawn have a tree skirt out of Winter Wonderland fabric yet? That would be a great birthday gift for her.
ReplyDeleteI am not allowed to buy any Christmas fabric, but winning Christmas fabric is just fine. Present....let's see...new nightgown, bubble bath, chocolate. Oh yea, make her one of your frozen dinners so she has a free night of her choosing.
ReplyDeleteOh I just love Christmas fabrics and these are so fun. I think you sister would love a new tote bag or purse in some fall colors. You know fall will be here soon and she would be all ready for it.
ReplyDeletelsandes@comcast.net
Love the new lines!! How about a trip to "The Happiest Place on Earth"!?!
ReplyDeleteCandyland is my choice. I saw a beautiful Spa Bag in the BH&G Creative Collection (Bags, Pillows & Pincushions) They call it a Spa Bag, but you could use it and fill it with different Teas, soaps & Body Washes etc. Wonderful easy yet lovely bag.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to make one of these: http://www.craftstylish.com/item/1073/a-quilted-lingerie-bag
ReplyDeleteThis one on Craftster is nice: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=194461.0
ooohhh flannel... i like!!
ReplyDeleteA cute new bag for fall filled with cute little things from Blue Q. That's what I would like, anyway. ;) johnsonkatz@hotmail.com
ReplyDeletewow! We need to think about Christmas already? Sheesh! I'm still trying to sew summer clothes, but it did make me happy seeing those pretty Christmas flannels!
ReplyDeletethose are very pretty .. i have never sewn with flannel .. this would be a great start .. karen ca ske3my@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteI know you're right, but oh how I hate to think of Christmas in July! I have no idea for a gift for Corrie, how about a nice digital scrapbook album? hehe I know I read on one post about the panel quilt that she liked, maybe a cute find of material like that? Or does she hate getting material for a gift? I know I wouldn't! If we have a blogger account, is that enough for you to contact me? I do have email enabled but just in case cwps29@yahoo.ca :)
