Following on Twitter now! :)

With that pretty fabric and cutter, I’d be trying to make a lap quilt for my mom for Christmas. :)
This has quilt and dress for my granddaughter ALL OVER IT!! I’d probably be able to make one for her best friend too with such a generous giveaway. Thank you WWC for bringing these wonderful opportunites to learn and win to us!
I would enjoy using a paper-piecing pattern with beautiful colors and make a quilted wall hanging for my craft room!! What a great invention :)
YOu ask what I would make? I would make my imagination come to life I would make things I have yet to dream of and I would make decorative items for clothes and home I would make ChriStmas gifts for family and friends I guess in general you might say I would make good use of my winnings!
It’s just exciting to have all those options of fabric shapes that I wouldn’t have to use my scissors for!
I would whip up some super cute appliqué shirts for kiddos!
I follow WWC and TCCE on twitter
How fantastic! I would use it all to make some rug mats for friends for coffees and snacks, and then work up to a quilt! Thanks! Susan
We learned one year ago that our 12 year old grand-daughter has cerebral palsy. She was referred to the Shriner Hospital in Louisiana which is where she was diagnosed. Since then she has had the opportunity to make friends with children from many areas and one in particular here in our home town who is wheelchair bound. They have become quite close since the school year began. It is my hope to make a lap quilt for my g’daughter and her new friend. The fabrics shown remind me of both girls and their “joie de vivre”. Sizzix dies would allow the girls to personalize their own quilts. Thank you for the opportunity to enter such a great contest!
I would applique some shapes on to a white fabric for a quilt and on to a T/shirt for my grand-daughter. What a fantastic giveaway. Thank you!
OH how I hope you pick my name for the Sizzix! I would love to create with the color, the shapes and the pattern! PICK ME Please!
I think those dies are delightful. I think I love my doggies, and they are tired of laying on dreary old blankets. They are special and would much rather lay on specially designed doggy beds that are decorated and designed and almost as special as the three of them are.
What an awesome giveaway! This would be sooooo much fun to play with!
I shared this giveaway on FB and twitter (@Thriveblog)
Wow! This would be great for the quiet books I am making for my kids!
I would make my very first quilt!! :)
Oh how amazing this would be. Maybe, just maybe I would finally get my act together with that whole “sewing” thing I’ve been attempting :)
Oops, I didn’t answer the question. I would make cute little appliqued onesies for my daugther. Or maybe a quilt.

What an awesome giveaway! I would make an applique’d for my new Grandbaby…the first one in our extended family on my side and the 40th one on my husbands side!!
Wow! I’m starting a quilting-with-kids program along with reading quilt-themed story books. So we’d have a blast with fabric and a cool tool. Thanks for the contest! Jane

Those fabrics are so pretty! It’s cold here in Alaska (and has been for weeks). I would get some of my friends together and we’d make a quilt! Not having to cut out all the shapes would make it go so fast. Quilting bees are alive and well in the Great White North. :^)
I love the sizzix products and this one looks great as well. The fabric is soo cute!
I would love to make one of those wreaths that take a gazillion circles!

Wow, that fabric is gorgeous! I am the president of a blanket-making guild at Seattle Children’s Hospital, so I would use that fabric and the machine to create (and embellish) quilts and blankets for patients at the hospital, and I would share it with other members who would like to use it.
If you would like to see any of our creations, please visit the website above, or our facebook page (Katie’s Comforters Guild at Seattle Children’s Hospital), or my personal blog at http://www.karengberger.blogspot.com .
If any of your readers or customers would like to join us or help in any way, please send me a message!
Happy Thanksgiving.
I have a fabulous and patient friend who is teaching me how to quilt. She is talented and I hope to be some day. I would share this with her and make my first “real” quilt!!
I would make a bedding set for my daughter’s room makeover. And probably Christmas stuff and home decor- especially for my Kitchen and family room.

I’d make a fusible quilt! I am a graduate of the Chicago School of Fusing.
So many projects. So little time. Fabric is so beautiful now, I just want to put it on everything. I think a beautiful painted tree on the wall covered with sizzix leaves and flowers. Hope I get the chance.

I’m not sure about the Big Shot (first I’ve seen) but with the fat quarters and charm packs, I would make Christmas gifts and other decor items for my beautiful granddaughter. Just retired and back into sewing, crafting, quilting, and painting — so many new things — so excited.
Wow…love this. We’d use this to make matching doll/daughter patchwork skirts, or patchwork peasant dresses w/lots of appliques in the patches!!!!

Wow what an awesome early present! I would make some adorable softie flowers and birds!
Wow! What an amazing giveaway! I’d stitch up a baby quilt for my new great-niece and another for my great-nephew that will arrive in 2012. :)
A few of us here in Iwakuni, Japan will be starting a sewing group to bless those affected by the tsunami earlier in the year. People are still out of homes and trying to put lives back together even though they have their basic needs. Also, crafting, not to mention, everything, is so expensive here and much more so with the weak dollar.
I would use the fabric to make wall hangings with my kids hand prints for my parents.
Decorative pillows. I love making them!
I would make some appliques for pillows and clothes for my daughter!
quilted bags for my girls to carry their loot in around the house!!! Hopefully a baby quilt for a friend as well!!!
This contest giveaway is remarkable! If I won, I would immediately get busy with the fabric (can you say “to die for?”!) and make some beautiful tote bags for my daughters and my sister. I would use the sizzix to cut beautiful applique pieces to use on the bags. Any little scraps and pieces would also not go to waste because I would use them to embellish pin cushions and other fabric sculptures! I adore fabric and even though I am not a master seamstress, I can do simple things that have been made all the more easy by Sizzix machines and beautiful fabric combinations made by wonderful fabrics like the ones in the giveaway! Color me smitten and hope I win! Thanks for the opportunity to try to win this extraordinary giveaway! Blessed and thankful and inspired! XOXO
I’ve never seen the Big Shot before. What planet do I live on? Such a cool toy!
This is the neatest thing! I would love to win and would use it to make ornaments and embellishments for a wreath! Thanks for offering the giveaway!
I would finally finish my daughters Paris themed room
After petting it for awhile….you know how we fabric lovers are. Would love to make something for my mom or my grandchildren. Love that their mom uses the quilts that we give them.

Ohh, I would definitely go crazy making all kinds of flower pieced headbands and clips, or flower brooches ….soo having fun designing these nowadays and this would make it so much easier and more fun!
I would love to use the Sizzix Big Shot & FreeSpirit fabrics to make Christmas floral pins and door decorations for the residents and nurses at my grandmother’s nursing home. They make her feel safe and at home there each day. :)

We just bought a big old house and it is in desperate need of color! I would use the kits for a couch quilt and lots of pillows! I use every little scrap in my art quilts so not a bit of fabric qould go to waste! I have wanted one of these machines so badly, but saving for th house has taken up all of omy “play” momey for over a year! What a wonderful gift this would be!
Wow! All this for one person? This would be like an early holiday present! What would I make if I was the winner? Well, those fabrics look like they would go just perfectly in my teenage daughter’s room, so maybe I’d make her a quilt, a pillow or two, or a lampshade. Maybe a bag for each of us….So many possibilities. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would let my 9 year old daughter invite some of her best friends over to make some creative appliqued shirts and embellished jeans. I would love to inspire the next generation to embrace sewing and crafting as much as my mother and grandmother inspired me and my sister.

I would make appliquéd shirts for my grandkids and finally start on a quilt for myself:) Thank you!
I’ve been itching to make some placemats for the dinner table. We always eat on the bare table and I think it would be lovely to add a bit of warmth to dinner!
I left a comment on the Creative Connection blog. Pick me…..please!
make a personalized apron for my mom!
I would make some stockings or baby blankets. My grandparents don’t want Christmas gifts this year so instead of making them things I’m going to make stockings and other stuff for people affected by the flooding this summer who lost their homes and possessions.
What a wonderful contest. This would be very great for lots of creative people.
Wow this looks like it would be lots of fun; I have never used a die cutter before! I have enjoyed making simple quilts but this could take my projects up a notch!
I would make a quilt for my daughter’s bed, or perhaps some outfits for both of my girls!
I have been wanting to try my hand at a quilt! This giveaway would be a perfect way to start! :)
So many ideas, but I’m really into purses right now, so probably a cute purse with maybe a matching hair flower
I think I would make some pillows….or maybe something special for my bridesmaids!
I looked at the die shapes and immediately connected with the Droplets! I’m thinking of a very cute shower curtain! How adorable to make a patchwork design at the top of the curtain with the matching droplets falling . . . Hmm. If I’m not the winner maybe I’ll have to buy me some of this goodness!
Oh, I can think of so many beautiful items that I could make with the Sizzix Big shot! I would begin with appliqued Bibs and Aprons, and finish with gorgeous appliqued pillows. Who is on my gift list ?!
I’m following WWC on Twitter, @ BakeShopParty.
I would make a yummy quilt, thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh my, what wouldn’t be possible??? Bags, pouches, more quilts. This would be an incredible gift. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

I would make a wall hanging. Bright colors. That would be fun. I hope I win!
I cannot wait to get sizzix. I am making quilts and would make patchwork quilts using the die cut fabrics . Dena tazaa for making beautiful clutches for the teachers/therapist who are transforming my son’s /other autistics kids at school with required social and communication skills. There is no better way to say “thank you from my heart” by making handmade clutches/bags for them.
I would make t-shirt dresses for my wonderful granddaughters. They would be so very cute and would love their own special “pictures” on the front of each dress. I couldn’t leave out my grandson. He would get his very own quilt to cuddle with at naptime!
The rest of my family would get individually designed mug rugs, aprons, hot pads or lap blankets.

I would make my daughter a rainbow quilt!
I would make a whole mess of awesome aprons!!
What a wonderful giveaway. Enter me please.
I have a five year old who has been begging me to make her a quilt like I did for her big brother, that would have to be my first project. After that, the possibilities are endless! With so many beautiful options I can’t even begin to imagine what I could create. We are doing a handmade Christmas this year, this would be well broken in!
I would make fun hair clips, quilts, appliques for a ton of different projects. This would be so much fun!
Okay, I’ve got this art quilt in my mind now because of those dies. The basic idea is a swamp, but a neat one. The horizontal die in shades of blue (dark, smokey grayish and green), the back ground would use those rounded heart like ones made into mountains, the would be rain drops coming down and stitched circles of water ripples. The paisleys would make a great school of colorful fish under the water with stitched features. I would use the last leaf like one and cut it into smaller wavy strips for water reeds. The fabric colors would be amazing in it. Obviously there would be lots left over to play with in other ways, and with holiday patchwork gifts being made would come in handy. Have a great weekend!
I would make a quilt and some pillow covers.
I read and commented on “The Toymaker” I think it’s great that such creative things are being made to stretch creativity in children and adults.
That bottom right die and those Essential bundles are dying to be made into a quilted wallhanging with a modified Sunbonnet Sue holding an umbrella and a rainbow of raindrops. An awesome “sunny” piece of art for a little girl’s room!
would love to make jewelry and hair clips with this machine!! I have to cut all by hand now. thanx babs..plus i love dinas stuff.
I’d make a quilt. What a Fabulous giveaway!
I would go crazy embellishing my children’s clothes!
What a fabulous prize! I would soooooo bring that to 4-H sewing for my 4-H kids to use! Great for embellishing their sewing projects!
I would applique my heart out! :)
Wow! That is an awesome giveaway! I just made rag quilts and am ready to try my first quilt. Fingers crossed! Thank you!
I would want to make a quilt!!!
Make a Christmas garland!
I scrapbook and quilt so I could so use the big shot for both of these passions…I have wanted one forever but I;ll leave it up to you to make this wish come true!
I would do scrapbook pages and use it for quilts and applique shapes onto seasonal tshirts for my grandkids.
I just stopped over at TCC…must have been a great event!
I would make a cozy quilt for my grandson’s third birthday!
What an awesome giveaway! Thank you! I would love to make some custom Christmas shirts for my girls and their cousins this year, and it would be soo much easier with a fancy new Big Shot!
OH MY!! I am moving into a new house and have visions of a new quilt on my bed!!!
I would start to make a quilt! I hope I win
I really like this fabric.I don’t know what I would make.It would be hard to make a decision on what to use this fabric for.I know something lovely will come out of this great giveaway by the winner.Wishing you and all a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I would love to use this to make a quilt for my daughter’s room and to add some interest to he plain ol’ boring curtains.
I have a grandbaby coming in April and think the mateial would make great baby things…decoarating onesies with the Big Shot would sure make them cute!
Oh Wow! I would make a ton of beautiful things with a prize like that!!— but the first thing I’d work on would be a quilt for my oldest daughter. She is always doing something special for me and those beautiful fabrics would be the perfect colors for her! Thank you for the special, special giveaway!!!! :-)
I follow WWC and TCC on Twitter. :-)

I posted on the TCC Blog as well– very interesting links there! :-)
I would be happy to use it to make some Christmas present. I am sure it would cut out everything I would need to make some ornaments.
The Big Shot is for sure on my wish list! I would make appliquéd tshirts for my daughter.
Wow! This is the most amazing giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would get busy making some appliqued wall hangings, a quilt or two and some pretty pouches and purses with all this gorgeous bounty.
I would have a lot to learn but would welcome the opportunity!!!! Awesome ideas.
WOW!!! what a super fruity crazy Sizzixlious offer !!!!!!!!! I would make so many fun items, this is crazy generous , THANKS
I have a wall quilt that i would love to make. Love the fabric colors!
What wouldn’t I make? Baby Qyiults, T-Shirts, Handbags oh the list goes on.
Totally Awesome giveaway!
Thanks for the chance :)
Ooo… so lovely! I would make some wonderful… somethings. Such beautiful fabric I need to think longer to decide on a project that would do it justice!
I sure would love to win these products. I am a paper crafter, but love using paper and fabrics together on my projects. I would love to try the dies to make a design for a journal cover. I could also design many things to go on my cards. I could see using these fabrics to make a tote as either a laptop bad or scrapbook bad or beach bag. And of course, pillows. There are so many great ideas, and of course I would love to try them all. I find more joy in crafting for others than anything else. To see the expression on their face when you give them something handmade, is the best feeling ever. And teaching kids to give in this way, is a great lesson for them as well. I would be so grateful to win such a fantastic prize. Thanks, Susan
I would attempt to make my first quilt, something I’ve always wanted to try!!
My niece is getting married in March, I could make her something special in honour of the big day
I’d love to use big shot and dies to make appliqued purses and tote bags. The fabrics will be a great jumpstart as everything is already color coordinated. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a terrific prize package
I’m supposed to be bedresting at the moment but I’m certain hand stitching doesn’t count as ‘work’, and nor would cutting with a Sizzix! I would make a colourful fireworks quilt using all those lovely bright fabrics on black – Sydney on New Year’s Eve.
I would FINALY get busy scrapbooking and making cards again!! I have lost my creativity somewhere along the way. This would be an awesome way to jumpstart it!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
i think its time i break my fear of applique and curves! first up, a dresden. then an orange peel/melon block, then drunkards path. i have to stop being afraid!!
Wow! What a great giveaway. I’d use the Taza collection and some of the other fabrics to make a quilt for my friend’s baby. I think I’d try to put an applique owl on it. I bet the Sizzix would help with that! (I am just learning to applique.) It would look great with her Happi Tree nursery.
I’m not one for needle and thread and material but I sure can tear fabric to pieces and use that instead of ribbon. LOVE that look – works perfectly for my shabby chic style. And that Big Shot!?! Oh boy, could I make that sister work for me. My Cuttlebug is on its last legs (oh, please hold out!) and this would be a great replacement. Thanks for this chance.
The possibilities for this fabric are endless. Most likely they would be made into a quilt for my granddaughter.
If I was the owner of that beautiful machine, dies, and fabric I would create a pretty mobile and small table cloth to go with it. Thanks for the opportunity. Karen
I would make cute clothes applique’s, pillows and all kinds of fun stuff!
My living room NEEDS new throw pillows. This would be perfect to help!
I love it all! I would make a quilt.
The Sizzix would certainly make appliquéing on quilts a whole lot easier. I just love the colors of the fabrics!!!
Oh my good gravy, but this is an AMAZING giveaway. I don’t have a die cut system and this would be such a godsend if I were lucky enough to be your winner. I had no idea you could put fabric through a diecut system. Just imagine the possibilities! WOW. My first creation would be some fabric flowers that I’ve seen everywhere for my cardmaking passion. Thanks for the chance at this awesome prize!
My fiance will be teaching a sewing/stitching class at our home starting in January. We are in the process of putting his sewing work area together. The Ellison Sizzix Big Shot, collection of innovative Sizzix dies and the 3 sets of Fat Quarters, 3 sets of Design rolls and 6 sets of charm packs would be a nice gift/surprise for my fiance! I know that he would have wonderful ideas/uses for this!
Thank you
Your gifts are absolutely charming…what would I make? After I stroked and studied and stroked and Oohed and Ahhed…what a fantastic dream….perhaps the start of an appliqued quilt for each of my grand daughters.
I would make a beach-themed quilt for my sister and some appliqued Christmas pillows!

What a neat gadget. It looks like it would make applique much easier. I would definitely try to make an applique table topper with those cut outs and fabric. Thanks for a chance to win such neat stuff.
Oh, how I’d love to win a Sizzix Big Shot Pro! It would be my best Birthday/Christmas ever.
I’d love to make greeting cards, scrapbooking, household decorator items with vinyl and quilts with the Sizzix….plus more. Very versatile cutting system and beautiful dies too. Of course, I’m a bit partial to Patsy Thompson’s Sizzix designs. Would love to make quilts with her dies.

In 2003 I went to school expecting a normal day and instead experienced deadly school violence. It was not taught that taking care of students would come at a cost for us. Nor did anyone teach that getting help is normal and a positive thing. Instead I fell into darkness for years. I am still recovering from PTSD and trying to teach the lessons I had to learn by losing nearly everything. My crafting supplies sat unused for years. I am color starved, when I look at your magazines, feel fabric, look at quilts it is hard to describe it’s like awakening. It is my goal to open a trauma education and support center where people do not have to sit alone at night while their brains try to process as the world is quiet. The dream is a place of white walls, colorful fabrics and paintings, warmth and love. A place where people can create and go from black (death/depression) and red (anger) to all the colors in a huge box of crayons. Because creativity, art and expression help process experiences, create relationships and help people tell their stories so they can heal. Still healing, Kim
Several of the ladies at work are expecting, so baby items galore!
I think it would be fun to make a large appliqued quilt with the cutter and fabric shown.
I would have to start another quilt, for who…I am not sure. I would have to figure that out on the way.
I would love to make baby items.. booties, bibs, and a quilt.
second entry because of inconvience of not being entered in previous contest! Thank you!
What would I make? I think some appliqued aprons and pillows would be fun — and would really help out with the Christmas gift situation!
If I had that delightful Sizzix Big Shot and all those beautiful fabrics I think I would make my daughter a bedroom collection for her new room! Bunting, Wall art, Cushions, Quilt etc…… and just in time for her 4th birthday in February!

I’d give this to my Mom for Christmas….she is a much better quilter than I.

I would make an appliqued quilt for my daughter, some pillows to match and probably a few dresses for her as well!

thanks for such a wonderful giveaway…after all the year spent making quilts, gifts for others…I think I would make myself a lovely summer quilt for my bedroom…good way to brighten the new year…
If I won this machine I think I would initially embellish clothing. After that I would make a quilt for my bed. :-)
Bonus anti-spam competition entry. LOL
This machine looks like tooo much fun!
I’d love to have this cute little machine to make things for my first granddaugher coming in Feb. How exciting it would be to sew and craft cute little things for her.
Wowie! What a fabulous gift! Looks like Christmas will come early to one lucky winner! Love those pretty fabrics and the dies look so fun! I have really been wanting a BigShot too! I would use the charm packs for a hexagon quilt I am making and I would use the dies to cut some of the other fabrics for tiny card decorations. I would share some of the fabric with my mom and quilting friend to spread the goodness!
My 10 year old Grand daughter has learned how to quilt and sew. Weekly she goes to the Senior Citizen center and spends time making quilts and other sewing projects with the Seniors. They really love her down there, she is full of enthusiasm and waltzes in like a breath of fresh air for all of them.
Right now she is helping them to make quilts using pictures on fabrics of these Seniors’ lives. She gets to hear their stories of how life used to be and helps them to bring their pasts to life.
She would absolutely love something like this! I can picture her bringing this to the Senior Citizens Center and show them how to use it for their projects.
What a great gift this would be for her!
with this package I would create a pile of funky holiday cards and some appliquéd totem bags. So hope to be the winner :-)
I do mixed media art so I can see using this for fabric books as well as wall pieces. I’d also use some of the dies for my journals. The possibilities are endless… Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this great prize!
This would be a great addition to my studio! I can envision appliqued wall hangings, pillows and quilts! I would love to try something new! Jamie V in MT
With these marvelous tools I would whip up a lovely tent to my
christmas window display I do for a local boutique.
We have a bohemian , free spirit gypsy theme going on this year .
Scraps of lovely fabric speaks to collecting or gleaning and create , up cycle into something fascinating and new…the gypsy spirit.
Oh this would be wonderful as I am trying to make children’s “blankies” . Some for friends children and some children in the hospital or families in need. The fabric looks bright and cheery and the cutter would really help to get things done.
I am working on a gift for my SIL using pictures o her parents when they were just engaged in their teens(70 yrs ago) How perfect to make a wall hanging with fabrics.
Thanks so much for a chance to win.

What a wonderful giveaway – could use creativity to the fullest with those lovely shapes and fabrics.
I’ve been thinking about new pillows for my couch for months..the fabric and appliques would make for some great pillows!
The perfect toy to play just before the Holidays….creating prettiness to give as handmade gifts to those that bring me joy!! Thank you for the opportunity, Happy Weekend xOxO
Iwould make a beautiful dress for my granddaughter who just turned one. My friends have never met her yet so she needs a princess creation for the big reveal when she comes to visit something fit for the princess shex truelly is.
What a wonderful giveaway! I’d probably start with some new pillow designs, or handbags..or maybe some mug mats, and eventually a quilt. There are so many possibilities it’s hard to pick just one. I would be very, very busy, that’s for certain! Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway.
Hello Paige~
I did recieve the e-mail that you sent you me!
Thank you for letting me know! :)
I am part of a “Quilt block swap” and I would use some different colors for that!
Oh…so much fun! :)

Thank you for the opportunity to try and win another great giveaway! I am not sure exactly what I would make with the giveaway products, but the wheels are turning.
(glad you got the glitch fixed for entering the contests!)
I need all of the help I can get! I’m new to the sewing world and don’t know where to begin :) I love all of th beautiful fabrics and the endless possibilities they bring. I have a 5 year old girly, girly, so that’s probably where I will begin!
I have been eyeing the cutting machines but don’t have one yet. I don’t know where I would start since I would be so excited at the chance to use one. I love making fabric flowers but it takes me quite a while to cut the pieces by hand. Since I love cake decorating, I could use this to cut gumpaste pieces. I would absolutely love to win this machine.
I would be making a flower block using one of the die cuts and scraps laying about the sewing room.
What an awesome giveaway! I’d make more items for my Etsy shop- been trying to get up the stock!

I would love to applique a quilt and some kids shirts! What a great machine! And the is beautiful! Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful prize pack! :)
I’m a quilter, and I’ve been wishing for a Sizzix. If I won one, along with those lovely fabrics, I’d get busy making a quilt for my niece Sarah’s cute kids.

I left a comment on TCC on the Toymaker post.
I just made my very first quilt and am eager to do a second one. So if I make a 2nd one it will be for Mom this time. So I will make a 2nd quilt and it will be for her! And this machine would be huge help from the cutting aspect. Thanks.
There is no baby coming, but at 62 I need to get started making quilts and clothes for a grandchild. If they (my selfish offspring, who have neglected to make me a grandmother) are going to wait, I need to get this done before I am too old to do it!
Not sure what I would make but it wouldn’t take me long to figure it out if I did win it.
Wow, I would love to use those fabric to outfit my unborn granddaughter’s nursery.
I would love to do some appliqueing on shirts for all the kids in my life. Its a great way to dress up a plain shirt or bottoms.
I’d have fun with quilting :)
Thanks for the opportunity.
Oh my what would I create? I would totally make something with an applique! Like a fun apron or skirt! O.o A table skirt with tons of pretty appliques /drools
Okay there an idea!!!! And now I MUST win this! /crosses fingers

Oh my what couldn’t I do. Well first I would make some fabulous purses. With the sizzix machine I could make appliques for my various purse styles. Or I could make lovely scarves, skirts for my daughter with cute appliques, and various christmas gifts such as ornaments and baby blankets. I would absolutly love to win this package. I could get back to my creative roots to create some pretty inspiring pieces. This would also afford me to the opportunity to get some new products into my etsy store. i could finally make those statement pieces I have been dreaming about but just don’t have the supplies and money to make those dreams come true.
Thanks for my consideration and I can’t wait to hear from you.

I see at least two beautiful quilts…one lovely light and one boldly bright, but both with stylistic diecut flowers bursting across the geometric boundaries of the quilt. What fun! Thanks for the chance to win.
I would make the 39 fabric birthday postcards that I will be sending out in 2012. They will be sooo colorful!!
