What would you do with approximately 40 lbs. of Honey Honey scraps to make the world a little sweeter? Leave a comment (only one, please) and this giant box might land on your doorstep! Lucky winner will be announced on February 1st.
OMG I would be in heaven for sure. I have a bunch of teacher end of year thank you quilts to get made and these would be perfect. Of course I would save some of it just for me.
Oooh yumm!! I would turn these into quilts to auction off to raise funds for one of my girlfriends. She runs a school in Swaziland - they are currently raising funds to have water connected to their school and kitchen. such and awesome offer, it will be greatfully received where ever it ends up!
Wow, that sounds amazing! It would be fun to gather some quilting friends and all dig through that box together. Everyone could pick the pieces they love and we could all make quilts and bags and other crafty things.
Wow! I would probably try to find some scrap quilt tutorials or patterns as soon as possible! And there is always use for a scrap or two of fabric completing my small cross stitch projects :) Thanks!
Wow, that's a lot of scraps! I would love to play with them. I enjoy designing quilts and I test quilt patterns for a friend. We have three charities we donate quilts to.
40# would do amazing things. Just a few pounds of scraps can do amazing things. I can see several quilts with these. This would be scraptastic love. Thanks for parting with them.
I might have to make a bunch of 36" square lap quilts for senior services in scrappy patterns from my Pinterest board ! Its our guilds charity. Then pick my favorite and make a larger one for me.
I'd share them with the wonderful people who are making quilts for Siblings Together 2013 (http://lilysquilts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/siblings-together-2013.html) - those special scraps could make wonderful quilt for children who need all the 'special' they can get.
I have the perfect project for these scraps. My nine year old daughter was adopted through foster care. As she is beginning to understand her story, one of the hardest things to accept is that she has biological siblings that she's never met. We are in the process of reaching out and forming a connection and I hope to figure out a way for her to meet them in the next year or two. In the meantime, I want to make matching quilts for her and her two birth sisters. I think it would be something tangible that each of them can have to represent the connection they have to one another. Honey Honey would be the perfect fabric to make their quilts. Thanks for the chance.
I would be in a honey hole of HEXIE happiness! How much fun I'd Have Holding all that happiness in my Hands! Oh, I'll Have Hexies throughout the House! (Yes, I like HeXIes!)
I would use these wonderful scraps to introduce quilting to our school. Our Students' Council is looking for a charity project. Making quilts for our local hospital would be a great project. Pieces of the heart (from our students, and from YOU.) 40 pounds would mean we could also use scraps and quilting as real life manipulatives for some math classes! Thank you so very much for the opportunity!
(I've never replied to a blog before. I hope I've done this correctly. My email is constance_hodson@kprdsb.ca)
You know in the movies when people throw lots of money in the air then roll around in it? That would be me with that fabric :). Of course after that I'd be busy making beautiful things our of it.
40 lbs!!! First I would stare at it in disbelief! Then I would get to work making my baby girl to be some fun stuff. Then I would start working on making my friend's soon to be adopted a baby girl some fun stuff (due 2 days after mine). Then I would finish off by making fun stuff for one more friend expecting a baby girl 5 weeks after me. Wow, what an amazing offer :) Thanks.
Quilts and pillow cases for children with cancer that are being treated at my city's children's hospital. A friend has a child battling leukemia and it has been an insightful (and heart wrenching) experience for everyone who knows her. I recently read an article where a large group of women got together to support a charity called 'Pillowcases for Oncology Kids (South Australia)'. The women made pillow cases to brighten hospital stays for children with cancer. Hospital is so overwhelming for young children that being able to choose something for themselves to keep with them during their hospital stays ensures they always have something positive to associate with their treatment. Not that I need to add anything else to me list of activities, but this would be a great community service project that would benefit precious children and their families.
I would be thrilled to have the "scraps off of your table"... your beautiful fabrics would be used to teach my eight year old granddaughter two things: how to express herself creatively through quilting, and how to be generous... we'd be making baby quilts for donation through our church... after, we'd be giving OUR scraps to someone at her school who makes knitted fabric purses for little girls...
I'd be happy to use this bounty to make quilts for children in care in the UK who are separated from their siblings except for a holiday camp which brings them together for some important family time - work carried out by Siblings Together.
Last year the children didn't believe they got to keep the quilts - that brings tears to my eyes now!
I am also planning to make a quilt or two for the Siblings Together project driven by Lily's Quilts. My first quilt, though, would be for my sister - she is bravely battling brain cancer, but has recently taken a turn for the worse. I think she would love these colors and it would help keep me busy doing something for her from so far away. Your fabric could brighten up anyone's day!! Thanks for being so generous and sharing your goodies with your readers. I know you give a thrill of a lifetime to the lucky winner!!
Your question was, what would you do with approximately 40 lbs. of Honey Honey scraps, to make the world a little sweeter? I can't help it, (I'm fabric selfish) I 'd keep them for myself a consider it a birthday gift and omen to make myself something for a change. I'm sure there would be plenty left over for sharing. One women's scraps are another women's "quilt to be treasure". Thanks for the extremely generous give away! ;-> Toni Anne
ooooh, I would have a sew in day for my sewing group. quilts for Camp Whatcha Wanna Do! http://www.campwatchawannado.com/ My guild donates over 120 quilts every year for the kids who attend this camp...thanks for a chance, its fun just to think about.
Here's what I would do with 40 lbs of scraps: I would invite all my friends and my daughter's friends (she's 12) who always say 'someday I want you to teach me to sew' and teach them to sew. Then we would give the quilts to kids who need them.I don't need any fabric, and truth be told, I could and should do this project with my friends regardless of whether I won the giant box of scraps.
I'm not very experienced in quilting and afraid to touch and ruin my precious honey honey fabrics. But even just looking at it makes my heart fill up with joy. With your scraps I would start with a babyquilt (or even bigger if my skills turn out to be usefull) out of hexagons - like a meadow full of flowers, sounds like heaven, doesn't it?
I would use them to make baby/child size quilts for our church quilt ministry that sends quilts to foreign orphanages and to the local pregnancy help center. Thanks for the giveaway!
Baby quilts are my favorite, so I'd be making lots of them!! Very little access to quilt fabric here in Belgium. If that arrived at my house, I would share it with other quilters here!
A 40# box of Honey Honey would make beautiful charity quilts and something fun for my daughter who has caught the sewing bug :) Thanks for the chance to win!
I could do so much with that. I have several scrap projects in mind and a new grand neice/nephew on the way. These scraps would definitely make the baby sweeter (if babies could possibly be any sweeter).
I have always wanted to start a quilting circle and that would be the perfect way to begin! We have a lot of people who are experiencing tough times and I think quilt blankies for kids would be a great idea.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win! Good luck to all ...
I'd echo what Archie the Wonder Dog said. We are making quilts for children who have been separated from their siblings by the care system. Siblings Together gets these children together on a regular basis and also organises summer camps for them so they get to holiday with their siblings. Last year we sent each one of the kids at the camp a quilt - this year we're trying to send groups of similar quilts - eg three siblings get a quilt each made from the same fabrics because the siblings loved it when they got matching quilts. We're in the UK so you might not want to ship all that fabric all this way but, if you were to share it with us, I'd make sure a group of us made a set of quilts to go to a set of siblings at the summer camp this year.
40 lbs?!! My kids and I would have a fabric tossing party (instead of confetti) and once we were done with all the fun I'd make some fun scrappy quilts.
I would sew something special like a new bag or a quilt, or maybe even a little dress for each of my granddaughters!! It is gorgeous, I can't wait to see this line in person!
I would hug the box for sure. Then I would rip it open and squeal at the eye candy. Then I fantasize about all the projects I can make with them...and then I would toss those all out the door and do something totally random because that is my style. Maybe I would finally tackle the single girl quilt pattern. These prints would be perfect for that pattern.
Wow! I can't even imagine. I would probably roll around in it a little before I folded it nicely and stared at it on my shelf until inspiration hit me.
It would certainly make my day! I am making a baby quilt out of it for my little girl due in March. I would love to make a new bed skirt and crib bumper to match.
Oh wow! How generous! That's kind of like asking what I would do if I won the lottery; I'd use some responsibly (charity quilt, maybe share with some lovely friends) and use some for fun for me.
Since I am currently finishing my sixth quilt with your gorgeous fabric, I would be in heaven. I would use it to make quilts for the kids in our local hospitals. I dream about having the fabric to do that. This line would be perfect!
I would HANDS DOWN make a quilt for my momma! She's got some health problems that she's been dealing with for a few years and I know that a handmade quilt would make her so happy!!!
whoa! 40 lbs! I'd try to pull together a charity sewing day for our guild - the honey honey fabric would make perfect quilts for the local foster care group, where we donate our quilts.
I have three granddaughters that just found out I'm a beginner quilter ~ they've been bugging me to make them quilts. Those scraps would be perfect for them! Thanks so much for the chance to win ~ fingers crossed!
Along with many other UK quilters, I am making scrap quilts for the Siblings Together charity, so this fabric would be perfect. This year we are trying to make sets of quilts for sets of siblings, so a big load of scraps would be perfect for making a family of quilts :)
I would use it for our charity efforts at the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild to make quilts for Lucile Packard Neonadal unit. Last year we donated 50 quilts to Lucile Packard and 51 more quilts to other organizations. Thank you for your generosity!
I'd definitely need to pay some of that forward! Share it with quilt friends and donation quilts, for sure! Then maybe a scrappy trip around the world that I've been seeing everywhere? Who knows - lots of inspiration in that box!
Make scrap quilts of course! And with so many patterns and books out there, finding a pattern for a cute scrap quilt would not be hard. PS: That is one big box of scraps.
Make a quilt to give away to the foster kid quilt project and make a quilt to keep for my youngest daughter. thanks for the chance! steeplechaser29 at yahoo dot com
I could see me sharing with my friend who makes project Linus quilts. It would be a win for her, me and whoever gets the quilts. Scrap quilts are so pretty.
Well, I think I would make quilts for the local nursing home. I know that my daddys nursing home had people make quilts for their beds, and they really appreciated that. I also would make quilts for my kids. I havn't made quilts for all of them yet. And I know they would appreciate that.
The fabulous box of beautiful fabrics would be used for making baby quilts. I make them to give away for friends and to organizations. It would be such a pleasure to piece together colorful fabrics!
I just had a little girl who is 2 months old already. We are moving into a house soon and I would use the scraps to create decorations for her room: patchwork curtains, cushions, a quilt, matching pillows...so fun! I've been dying to make a postage stamp quilt too. - NQuinn, nightmusic13[at]hotmail[dot]com
Oh My Gosh. What wouldn't I do with a box like that? Right off the bat I can see me doing QAYG blocks with the scraps and then making all kinds of things with those blocks - mug rugs, doll quilts, wall hangings - you name it. What a wonderful chance this is.
I would like to make square in a square lap-sized quilts for all of my family. I could get started now and would all be ready for Christmas. It is something I always wanted to do and just wanted to show my love for everyone. Thank you for giving all of your followers a chance to win. It has always been a dream of mine to make quilts one year for everyone for Christmas. I really like this fabric line.
First I would try out your Apiary pattern then I would go for "make 2, give one" quilting. Giving one to a charity until I ran out of fabric. Love the fresh colors! They make me think of Spring.
I think I would make pillow cases for my parents' nursing home to have in their annual Christmas gift fair and some for the Arkansas Children's Hospital. What fun!
Wow! This fabric would come in really handy right now! Recently i decided that before moving to Florida this Spring I want to do something big for my quilt guild. So right now I'm working on making and quilting twelve quilts to donate my local quilt guild as a going away present to them at our next meeting. I have five quilts done but am running out of stuff to quilt. Your box of fabric would go a long way in helping me reach this goal.
Oh my goodness, I would share! I would break up the fabric and plan to use some for quilts and then the other part would go to the quilting group at my church so that they can make more quilts for donation. Many hands make many quilts!
I can't even imagine what this amount of fabric would look like!! but firstly I'd get my sewing machine serviced and buy a new blade for my rotary cutter!!
I would make a beautiful quilt for my youngest daughter who is getting her first big girl bed in a few weeks, and if I had enough left a "Sister" quilt for her big sis! :-) That would be fun!
That would be extraordinary! My daughter (age 7) just got her own little sewing machine. I'd love to give her the freedom of a huge box of scraps for inspiration and creativity!
You are so generous. With those scraps I would take them into my daughter's 4th grade class and they in turn would sew the strips together (for their pioneer unit) and then I would trim those blocks down and join them into a quilt top and backing and then bring it back for the kids to tie and then it would be given to the one of the local homeless shelters for some children--we did something similar a few years ago when my other daughter was in 4th grade and the children loved making quilts for other children who need a little extra warmth and love.
Be still my heart! What to do with 40 lbs of gorgeous Kate Spain? After an appropriate amount of time spent fondling, oohing and ahhing-I would make quilts for my daughter and her suite-mates at college. They are all freshmen and a little homesick at this point in the year. A cozy quilt for each one would be just right.
My daughter has requested several baby quilts for it seems all of her friends have decided to start their families at once - so these would end up in some much loved baby hugs.
Oh my! I'm a scrap addict, I'm drooling all over my laptop now (or that could be old age too I don't know...) Pretty scraps make me happier than stacks of fq's!
oops forgot to say what I would use these for. Obviously lovingly adding them to my existing scrap collection first and then integrate them in one of the many scrappy projects I have in progress! :)
First I would cry and then I would get busy making quilts, and something for the mystery swap I am joining and I have no clue what this much fabric would look like but I promise I would put it to very good use. Maybe make another quilt for my favorite dog rescue to auction off!
I also would share them with my fellow quilters in Bee a Brit Stingy so we could make quilts for Siblings Together - (http://lilysquilts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/siblings-together-2013.html)
I make tote bags to give to cancer patients... and I just love using cheery fabrics to make the bags from. Honey Honey would be perfect to bring a smile to these ladies.
Hi Kate, To converge 40 lbs to kilo (we use in the Netherlands) is 18 kilo!! I don't know if this is right but I sure know it is a lot! I would like to give most of it to my daughter (23). She is very good at making quilts just out of nothing. Referring to your post of Gees bend, that is how she works too, sort of. No patterns no books, just sewing, making big slabs of fabric and then the quilt grows. Only I'm afraid you cannot send it to Europe I think? Anyway thanks for the nice Gees bend story. Groetjes Annemieke
I would make a couple quilts for some friends' new babies - because the only projects I can keep up with lately are ones with deadlines! The rest would be used to make quilts for the local NICU and a great charity I found online last week that makes quilts for women undergoing treatment for postpartum depression.(http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-mothers-hope.html)
I would have a lot of fun using them in pineapple or log cabin blocks and star blocks and all sorts of scrappy and paper pieced quilts that are bouncing around in my head. Plus one of my friends who has only boy children is expecting a granddaughter - who deserves a quilt made from this line!
First, I would pick myself up after fainting on the floor! Then, I would run to my patterns to scour through them and find some that would show off that pretty fabric the best. Next off to the sewing machine to sew up these quilt tops to donate to various charities! Thank you for the chance!!
I love anything Kate Spain so I can imagine lots of versatility with scraps from that collection! Can you give me more hours in my day along with the scraps??
Wow, 40 pounds. What to do? I would enlist my mom, grandma, sisters and nieces to help me make as many scrappy quilts as possible to send to Walter Reed Hospital for the injured soldiers coming home to replace the one my husband received in 2008.
Wow! What an awesome prize! My local modern quilt guild is making quilts for a local girls ranch. The idea is to give each girl a quilt that is her own and she will take it with her when she leaves the ranch. The ranch is an in-between place while the girls are between CPS and foster care waiting for their forever families! These awesome scraps would make happy happy quilts! Thanks!
Wowsers! How generous! I love the fabric! I would make a quilt for myself with it and the leftovers will be divided between the three charities I support - Project Friendship - sends small wall hangings to displaced tsunami victims from Japan, Na Lima Aloha (the Hands of Love) - my quilt Guild's charity, and Operation Kid Comfort - where we make photo quilts for children of deployed service members. Thank you for your generosity!
Well first things first...I would share!! That's a lot of lovely fabric and I know TONS of people who would want in on this. Once that was done, depending on how large the "Scraps" are, I would piece together a dress for my daughter (currently working my way through the princesses) and probably make a quilt!
Swoon - after they resucitated me I would call my quilty friends (The Robins) and we would get busy! So much sorrow lately, but this delightful box would go a long long way toward producing quilty smiles! (fingers crossed...)
You are always so generous... I feel like it would be a pot of gold! So much to make, so little time to make it (quilts, patchwork animals and clothes).
I would make a quilt with it and take it to church to share with my quilty friends, it would probably make a great quilt for the prayer quilt ministry at church too! missysaprons@gmail.com (I had problems with posting my comment, so if two comments come through I'm sorry)
My 3yo has about 5 quilts, my 1yo has none. I would make her a whole honey honey themed room :) And use it for the preschool quilt I'll be making for the auction.
I'd use it to make quilts for project Genesis -- a group that helps young women escape from sex-trade trafficking in the Seattle area. Part of the program includes providing each woman or teen with safe housing. They're given a handmade blanket, quilt, or afghan which is theirs to keep -- a symbol that people in the community care about them. I love using fresh, modern fabrics that appeal to all ages, though I will use pretty much anything that comes to hand.
I would be so happy to have your scraps. I love the fabric line and i could use them to make quilts for foster kids when they graduate. It's what our guilting group dose together. lisaursino@msn.com
This would be great for our fledgling guild to use for classes and challenges. We are hoping to do some charity quilts this year so 40lbs of scraps would go a looooonggg way!
Lots of quilts to give to family, friends and charity! Hubby says I should probably keep something I make one of these days too and I do love Honey Honey something fierce! :)
I have NO IDEA how much fabric is in 40#! But I would start by making a twin quilt for the Annie Malone Children's Center that our quilt guild is sponsoring this year,,,then I would split the rest with my daughter because we both love Kate Spain fabrics! And Happy Sewing would ensue!
40 POUNDS?! like, the size of my four year old?! After I finished rolling around in it and instagramming pictures of myself rolling around it in, it would turn into a whole bunch of quilt tops. I like to randomly gift quilts to people I don't know. I leave them on various desks at work and no one has managed to figure out it's me yet. (Big office). I'd probably make a bunch to randomly gift just to share the honey honey joy!
Oh Kate, Honey Honey is probably the prettiest fabric I've seen in a long time! What a generous gift of fabric! I think I'd make a bag or two for sure, and I think a quilt and matching pillow covers would make my living room so lovely! Thanks for the chance!
Well, although it would be tempting to wallpaper my room with it so I could stare at it non-stop, I'd probably be practical and make a quilt...and maybe a little one for my American Girl doll too.
I am considering teaching my grade 4/5 students how to paper piece. They love sewing and I love sewing. Oh, my. This makes me sew (pun intended) excited!!
I don't even know if I could wrap my mind around having 40 lbs of gorgeous Honey Honey dropped on my door step! After I recovered from the shock, I would divvy it up between my quilty friends with the intention that we all make a quilt to donate to a worthy cause of our choice. (And hopefully there would be some leftover to make something fun to keep!)
Geebus. I would make the Ultimate Scrap Quilt. Then I'd make a couple of Ultimate Charity Quilts, maybe a dozen. And then I'd donate my ultimate leftover scraps to a quilt guild!
As so many have stated before - the only thing to do with such a wonderful windfall would be to share with others and create for others. I would buy a bolt of white and create the most awsome colorful modern quilts for todays modern children...would love to win such a sweet box of goodness.
What would i do with 40 pounds of scraps? Take them to my quilting group, divy them up and make some charity quilts--for babies and vets. We always LOVE new to us scraps!! Amazing what we can do!!
What a fantastic giveaway. I'm another of the siblings together quilters, so would love to win this to share with my fellow virtual quilting bee'ers( incidentally called the honey bees)
Oh my. What would I do/make with Honey Honey scraps? I would add some to my ever-growing pile of 2.5" squares for my scrappy Grannies and add some 2.5" strips to my pile for another scrappy trip around the world quilt. and if there is anything left over, I would share my bounty with my friend's mom who took time out of her life to teach me the sewing craft 5 years ago. :)
As someone new to quilting I'm not sure what I would do with 40 pounds of scraps. I am going to my first Quilt Guild in town next Monday. I think I would take them along and ask the veteran ladies to help me out!
I would be in scrap heaven!
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to play with these beautiful scraps! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would make scrap quilts and donate them to those who have lost everything in the fires and floods happening here in Australia at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOMG I would be in heaven for sure. I have a bunch of teacher end of year thank you quilts to get made and these would be perfect. Of course I would save some of it just for me.
ReplyDeleteOooh yumm!! I would turn these into quilts to auction off to raise funds for one of my girlfriends. She runs a school in Swaziland - they are currently raising funds to have water connected to their school and kitchen. such and awesome offer, it will be greatfully received where ever it ends up!
ReplyDeleteI would share them with my MQG pals so we could all make something sweet!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds amazing! It would be fun to gather some quilting friends and all dig through that box together. Everyone could pick the pieces they love and we could all make quilts and bags and other crafty things.
ReplyDeleteI would make some scrappy baby and lap quilts to donate. All the bright colors are so cheery.
ReplyDeleteWow! I would probably try to find some scrap quilt tutorials or patterns as soon as possible!
ReplyDeleteAnd there is always use for a scrap or two of fabric completing my small cross stitch projects :)
Thanks!
Hugs,
Tatyana
Wow, that's a lot of scraps! I would love to play with them. I enjoy designing quilts and I test quilt patterns for a friend. We have three charities we donate quilts to.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a gift! My guild makes quilts for Georgetown Pediatric Oncology. This would be SWEET. thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteBaby quilts to donate of course, and in all honesty, save some for my own future ( I hope) grandkids. Such a generous and SWEET prize!
ReplyDeleteI would make a HONEY HONEY scrappy trip around the world.
ReplyDeleteTeresa

Love Love scraps and it would be Christmas all over again, or even better.

40# would do amazing things. Just a few pounds of scraps can do amazing things. I can see several quilts with these. This would be scraptastic love. Thanks for parting with them.
ReplyDeleteI might have to make a bunch of 36" square lap quilts for senior services in scrappy patterns from my Pinterest board ! Its our guilds charity. Then pick my favorite and make a larger one for me.

ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely idea Caryn. A beautiful, tangible connection.
DeleteNow that sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI'd make some scrap quilts for Siblings Together (UK charity drive) and I might keep a few for myself too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
Makes some quilts!
ReplyDeleteWow! That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI would make all the items to decorate my whole house with those scraps! Beautiful collection, Kate!
ReplyDeleteI would be in a honey hole of HEXIE happiness! How much fun I'd Have Holding all that happiness in my Hands! Oh, I'll Have Hexies throughout the House! (Yes, I like HeXIes!)
ReplyDelete40lbs??? That's awesome! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI would use these wonderful scraps to introduce quilting to our school. Our Students' Council is looking for a charity project. Making quilts for our local hospital would be a great project.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!! 40 POUNDS!! WOW!! My sister and I would have so much fun, ideas are spinning!
ReplyDelete40 lbs!!! First I would stare at it in disbelief! Then I would get to work making my baby girl to be some fun stuff.

ReplyDelete40 pounds of Honey Honey ... thanks for the opportunity Sugar, Sugar :) Please sign me up for the chance!! (lharland4@gmail.com)
ReplyDeleteI've had this big old king sized bed for. ev. er.
ReplyDeleteNever had enough guts to try to make a quilt that big, but I think this might inspire me!
Mary beth
Wow! I would finally have enough scraps to make some of the scrap quilts I love. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDelete40 pounds would be a lot of fun to play in!
ReplyDeleteBarbara
I could add to the purple and blue collection that I already have of your other fabrics for the quilt I am planning for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteQuilts and pillow cases for children with cancer that are being treated at my city's children's hospital. A friend has a child battling leukemia and it has been an insightful (and heart wrenching) experience for everyone who knows her. I recently read an article where a large group of women got together to support a charity called 'Pillowcases for Oncology Kids (South Australia)'.

ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to have the "scraps off of your table"... your beautiful fabrics would be used to teach my eight year old granddaughter two things: how to express herself creatively through quilting, and how to be generous... we'd be making baby quilts for donation through our church... after, we'd be giving OUR scraps to someone at her school who makes knitted fabric purses for little girls...
ReplyDeleteWow, that would be heaven! Could make quilts galore with those scraps! I think in terms of EPP quilts -- lots of hexies and diamonds.
ReplyDeleteProbably jump for joy and then get down to some epp!!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to use this bounty to make quilts for children in care in the UK who are separated from their siblings except for a holiday camp which brings them together for some important family time - work carried out by Siblings Together.
ReplyDeleteLast year the children didn't believe they got to keep the quilts - that brings tears to my eyes now!
I am also planning to make a quilt or two for the Siblings Together project driven by Lily's Quilts. My first quilt, though, would be for my sister - she is bravely battling brain cancer, but has recently taken a turn for the worse. I think she would love these colors and it would help keep me busy doing something for her from so far away. Your fabric could brighten up anyone's day!! Thanks for being so generous and sharing your goodies with your readers. I know you give a thrill of a lifetime to the lucky winner!!
ReplyDeletewow..... quilts and bags and lots of other scrappy goodness! Some for charity, some for gifts maybe even something for me? what a nice giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWow that would be quite the prize! Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteIt can land on my doorstep any time....I will even sit outside and wait for it to land....what an awesome giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteYour question was, what would you do with approximately 40 lbs. of Honey Honey scraps, to make the world a little sweeter? I can't help it, (I'm fabric selfish) I 'd keep them for myself a consider it a birthday gift and omen to make myself something for a change. I'm sure there would be plenty left over for sharing. One women's scraps are another women's "quilt to be treasure". Thanks for the extremely generous give away! ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteI would bring it to my girl's crafting weekend coming up in a few weeks and everyone would have a ball :)
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I'd LOVE for that box to land on my doorstep!
ReplyDeleteooooh, I would have a sew in day for my sewing group. quilts for Camp Whatcha Wanna Do! http://www.campwatchawannado.com/ My guild donates over 120 quilts every year for the kids who attend this camp...thanks for a chance, its fun just to think about.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I would do with 40 lbs of scraps: I would invite all my friends and my daughter's friends (she's 12) who always say 'someday I want you to teach me to sew' and teach them to sew. Then we would give the quilts to kids who need them.I don't need any fabric, and truth be told, I could and should do this project with my friends regardless of whether I won the giant box of scraps.
ReplyDeleteForty POUNDS?? We're just starting up a modern quilt guild in my town, and my group could make a really fun project with those!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd make a quilt for Project Linus. Hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very experienced in quilting and afraid to touch and ruin my precious honey honey fabrics. But even just looking at it makes my heart fill up with joy.
ReplyDeleteWith your scraps I would start with a babyquilt (or even bigger if my skills turn out to be usefull) out of hexagons - like a meadow full of flowers, sounds like heaven, doesn't it?
loving_you@web.de
Oh goodness, a box of pretty scraps would be fun!
ReplyDeleteI'd make some quilts for our community service projects for my local quilt guild! And maybe one for myselft too!
ReplyDeleteI would use them to make baby/child size quilts for our church quilt ministry that sends quilts to foreign orphanages and to the local pregnancy help center. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBaby quilts are my favorite, so I'd be making lots of them!! Very little access to quilt fabric here in Belgium. If that arrived at my house, I would share it with other quilters here!
ReplyDeleteRoll around in them naked* while laughing with glee before making up baby quilts to donate in honor of my angel niece Ariella.
ReplyDelete*In reality, I'd be fully clothed.
A 40# box of Honey Honey would make beautiful charity quilts and something fun for my daughter who has caught the sewing bug :) Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would make some extra quilts for my do.Good stitches group so that we can donate them to people in hospice!
ReplyDeleteAre you kiddin? HONEY, I'm IN!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this - I just love the colors. I would have fun sharing it wi th friends.
ReplyDeleteI could do so much with that. I have several scrap projects in mind and a new grand neice/nephew on the way. These scraps would definitely make the baby sweeter (if babies could possibly be any sweeter).
ReplyDeleteWow, 40 pounds of Honey scraps? Count me in! lol
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to start a quilting circle and that would be the perfect way to begin! We have a lot of people who are experiencing tough times and I think quilt blankies for kids would be a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the opportunity to win! Good luck to all ...
I'd echo what Archie the Wonder Dog said. We are making quilts for children who have been separated from their siblings by the care system. Siblings Together gets these children together on a regular basis and also organises summer camps for them so they get to holiday with their siblings. Last year we sent each one of the kids at the camp a quilt - this year we're trying to send groups of similar quilts - eg three siblings get a quilt each made from the same fabrics because the siblings loved it when they got matching quilts. We're in the UK so you might not want to ship all that fabric all this way but, if you were to share it with us, I'd make sure a group of us made a set of quilts to go to a set of siblings at the summer camp this year.
ReplyDelete40 lbs?!! My kids and I would have a fabric tossing party (instead of confetti) and once we were done with all the fun I'd make some fun scrappy quilts.
ReplyDeleteI would sew something special like a new bag or a quilt, or maybe even a little dress for each of my granddaughters!! It is gorgeous, I can't wait to see this line in person!
ReplyDeleteI would share it with the gals at quilt guild to make childrens quilts that we donate to Childrens Mercy Hospital. Thanks for the chance to win.KMA
ReplyDeleteI would hug the box for sure. Then I would rip it open and squeal at the eye candy. Then I fantasize about all the projects I can make with them...and then I would toss those all out the door and do something totally random because that is my style. Maybe I would finally tackle the single girl quilt pattern. These prints would be perfect for that pattern.
ReplyDeleteI would make quilts for my 4 nieces. Thanks for the chance! Love your work.
ReplyDeleteWow wow!!! I'd love a box o'scraps from Honey Honey!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't even imagine. I would probably roll around in it a little before I folded it nicely and stared at it on my shelf until inspiration hit me.
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt for my children, I´ve got 3 :O)
ReplyDeleteI would use it to make scrap quilts which one of my quilt groups makes and gives away.
ReplyDeleteIt would certainly make my day! I am making a baby quilt out of it for my little girl due in March. I would love to make a new bed skirt and crib bumper to match.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! How generous! That's kind of like asking what I would do if I won the lottery; I'd use some responsibly (charity quilt, maybe share with some lovely friends) and use some for fun for me.
ReplyDeleteI would just about faint with happiness if this box landed on MY doorstep! Then I would make me some QUILTS!
ReplyDeleteSince I am currently finishing my sixth quilt with your gorgeous fabric, I would be in heaven. I would use it to make quilts for the kids in our local hospitals. I dream about having the fabric to do that. This line would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteBring them to the charity girls at my Modern Quit Guild. We made 101 charity quilts last year.
ReplyDeleteI would HANDS DOWN make a quilt for my momma! She's got some health problems that she's been dealing with for a few years and I know that a handmade quilt would make her so happy!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity, Kate! :)
I would LOVE to be able to have enough fabric to share with others and use for donation quilts (and of course one for myself)!
ReplyDeletewhoa! 40 lbs! I'd try to pull together a charity sewing day for our guild - the honey honey fabric would make perfect quilts for the local foster care group, where we donate our quilts.
ReplyDeleteI have three granddaughters that just found out I'm a beginner quilter ~ they've been bugging me to make them quilts. Those scraps would be perfect for them! Thanks so much for the chance to win ~ fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThat would indeed be sweet.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even begin to think what I would do, but I would love to make a quilt for charity auction for the shelter where I got my dog!
ReplyDeleteMy sister is remodeling a house and her girls need quilts. Oh, the fun we'd have quilting together!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with ATWD, we are currently trying to collect fabrics and make quilts for Siblings Together, so that is what I would do with these! : ) Ange x
ReplyDeleteAlong with many other UK quilters, I am making scrap quilts for the Siblings Together charity, so this fabric would be perfect. This year we are trying to make sets of quilts for sets of siblings, so a big load of scraps would be perfect for making a family of quilts :)
ReplyDeleteI would use it for our charity efforts at the Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild to make quilts for Lucile Packard Neonadal unit. Last year we donated 50 quilts to Lucile Packard and 51 more quilts to other organizations. Thank you for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely need to pay some of that forward! Share it with quilt friends and donation quilts, for sure! Then maybe a scrappy trip around the world that I've been seeing everywhere? Who knows - lots of inspiration in that box!
ReplyDeleteMake scrap quilts of course! And with so many patterns and books out there, finding a pattern for a cute scrap quilt would not be hard. PS: That is one big box of scraps.
ReplyDeleteMake a quilt to give away to the foster kid quilt project and make a quilt to keep for my youngest daughter. thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletesteeplechaser29 at yahoo dot com
Quilts and purses and bags, oh my!
ReplyDeleteOo-O-o yes! Your colors always send a happy vision into the possibilities. Thank you!
ReplyDelete:-}pokey
I would love to win this box! I could share this with our STLMQG charity group to make some quilts.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of scrappy quilts!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, 40# that would be fantastic. I would have all my books out finding just the right projects.
ReplyDeleteI would share it with my "thimbles" quilting group so we would all be sweeter than honey-honey...heehee
ReplyDeleteKristie
Lots of quilts ideas! Doll quilts for my daughter and nieces, scrap quilts for charity - Like Quilts for Kids!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I would be in scrap heaven. I can see some fun scrap quilts.
ReplyDeleteOh to dream about 40lbs of scraps!
ReplyDeleteThanks..
Diane
I could see me sharing with my friend who makes project Linus quilts. It would be a win for her, me and whoever gets the quilts. Scrap quilts are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I would make quilts for the local nursing home. I know that my daddys nursing home had people make quilts for their beds, and they really appreciated that. I also would make quilts for my kids. I havn't made quilts for all of them yet. And I know they would appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fantastic! Thank you for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteThe fabulous box of beautiful fabrics would be used for making baby quilts. I make them to give away for friends and to organizations. It would be such a pleasure to piece together colorful fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI just had a little girl who is 2 months old already. We are moving into a house soon and I would use the scraps to create decorations for her room: patchwork curtains, cushions, a quilt, matching pillows...so fun! I've been dying to make a postage stamp quilt too. - NQuinn, nightmusic13[at]hotmail[dot]com
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh. What wouldn't I do with a box like that? Right off the bat I can see me doing QAYG blocks with the scraps and then making all kinds of things with those blocks - mug rugs, doll quilts, wall hangings - you name it. What a wonderful chance this is.
ReplyDeleteI would like to make square in a square lap-sized quilts for all of my family. I could get started now and would all be ready for Christmas. It is something I always wanted to do and just wanted to show my love for everyone. Thank you for giving all of your followers a chance to win. It has always been a dream of mine to make quilts one year for everyone for Christmas. I really like this fabric line.

Oh my goodness, first faint and then get busy making quilts for the little ones at Project Linus!
ReplyDeleteFirst I would try out your Apiary pattern then I would go for "make 2, give one" quilting. Giving one to a charity until I ran out of fabric. Love the fresh colors! They make me think of Spring.
ReplyDelete40 POUNDS? Holy cow. I'd share it with my sewing pals here in town and then make a quilt or two, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI think I would make pillow cases for my parents' nursing home to have in their annual Christmas gift fair and some for the Arkansas Children's Hospital. What fun!
ReplyDeleteWoah! That's a lot of scraps. I'm thinking quilt of course and probably share with my STLMQG friends!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of scraps! I'd make patchwork zipper pouches and fold-up shopping bags for all the women in my life, for starters.
ReplyDelete40 lbs?! I'd make fabric boxes and buckets to organize everything! Leftovers would go towards a pillow sham and a quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow! This fabric would come in really handy right now! Recently i decided that before moving to Florida this Spring I want to do something big for my quilt guild. So right now I'm working on making and quilting twelve quilts to donate my local quilt guild as a going away present to them at our next meeting. I have five quilts done but am running out of stuff to quilt. Your box of fabric would go a long way in helping me reach this goal.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that to win!
A scrappy quilt? A scrappy bag? A scrappy heaven!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I would share! I would break up the fabric and plan to use some for quilts and then the other part would go to the quilting group at my church so that they can make more quilts for donation. Many hands make many quilts!
ReplyDeleteleepeters@comcast.net
I would make some handmade goodies for my hunny's sweetie (son's girlfriend), because she is a doll and I so enjoy having a girl to make things for.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine what this amount of fabric would look like!! but firstly I'd get my sewing machine serviced and buy a new blade for my rotary cutter!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That would be SO much fun! I would make quilts and pillows and who knows what else!
ReplyDeleteA scrap quilt of course! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I think that I would make Lori Holt's row along quilt for both of my girls beds. I would LOVE that showing up on my doorstep!
ReplyDelete40lbs of scraps would be perfect for a scrappy quilt piecing it together like a jig saw puzzle!
ReplyDeleteI would make a beautiful quilt for my youngest daughter who is getting her first big girl bed in a few weeks, and if I had enough left a "Sister" quilt for her big sis! :-) That would be fun!
ReplyDeleteWill be making some bay quilts. Would enjoy some of it for the small quilted accessories I enjoy making.
ReplyDelete40 pounds! It sounds like a big pile!
I would make a beautiful quilt with this beautiful fabric!!! My LQS just got part of the line in and I am in LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this honey of a box dropped at my door. Thanks for the chance. Cindy j.
ReplyDeleteI would make a ton of pillows and a throw for my house. The colors are absolutely perfect to brighten a desert landscape.
ReplyDeleteThat would be extraordinary! My daughter (age 7) just got her own little sewing machine. I'd love to give her the freedom of a huge box of scraps for inspiration and creativity!
ReplyDeleteI would use some for baby quilts for charity and I'm sure there would be enough to make a quilt for my daughter too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Would be perfect for scrappy quilt projects.
ReplyDeleteI would make some quilts for my grandchildren and use some for Project Linus that my guild is collecting quilts for.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! That would be so awesome...I would see lots of scrappy projects (quilts, bags, etc) in my future!
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous. With those scraps I would take them into my daughter's 4th grade class and they in turn would sew the strips together (for their pioneer unit) and then I would trim those blocks down and join them into a quilt top and backing and then bring it back for the kids to tie and then it would be given to the one of the local homeless shelters for some children--we did something similar a few years ago when my other daughter was in 4th grade and the children loved making quilts for other children who need a little extra warmth and love.
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart! What to do with 40 lbs of gorgeous Kate Spain? After an appropriate amount of time spent fondling, oohing and ahhing-I would make quilts for my daughter and her suite-mates at college. They are all freshmen and a little homesick at this point in the year. A cozy quilt for each one would be just right.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has requested several baby quilts for it seems all of her friends have decided to start their families at once - so these would end up in some much loved baby hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm a scrap addict, I'm drooling all over my laptop now (or that could be old age too I don't know...) Pretty scraps make me happier than stacks of fq's!
ReplyDeleteoops forgot to say what I would use these for. Obviously lovingly adding them to my existing scrap collection first and then integrate them in one of the many scrappy projects I have in progress! :)
Delete40 lbs?! I would never leave my sewing machine! I would make skirts for my little girls and matching quilts.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. The possibilities are endless...tote bags for my son's teachers, quilts for my daughters, lots of ideas...
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt for a friend!!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be awesome !!! What I could do with 40lbs of fabric :)
ReplyDeleteFirst I would cry and then I would get busy making quilts, and something for the mystery swap I am joining and I have no clue what this much fabric would look like but I promise I would put it to very good use. Maybe make another quilt for my favorite dog rescue to auction off!
ReplyDeleteI also would share them with my fellow quilters in Bee a Brit Stingy so we could make quilts for Siblings Together -
ReplyDelete(http://lilysquilts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/siblings-together-2013.html)
I would squeal with delight and make the prettiest scrappy quilts. No waste of fabric here. deanie dot dreams at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI make tote bags to give to cancer patients... and I just love using cheery fabrics to make the bags from. Honey Honey would be perfect to bring a smile to these ladies.
ReplyDelete40 pounds?! Holy moly! I'd probably add to my scrap paper pieced star blocks I have going, and I'd definitely share the wealth and pass some along!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteTo converge 40 lbs to kilo (we use in the Netherlands) is 18 kilo!! I don't know if this is right but I sure know it is a lot! I would like to give most of it to my daughter (23). She is very good at making quilts just out of nothing. Referring to your post of Gees bend, that is how she works too, sort of. No patterns no books, just sewing, making big slabs of fabric and then the quilt grows.
Only I'm afraid you cannot send it to Europe I think?
Anyway thanks for the nice Gees bend story.
Groetjes
Annemieke
I would make a couple quilts for some friends' new babies - because the only projects I can keep up with lately are ones with deadlines! The rest would be used to make quilts for the local NICU and a great charity I found online last week that makes quilts for women undergoing treatment for postpartum depression.(http://margaretshopechest.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-mothers-hope.html)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win those qorgeous scraps! monica21stl at live dot com
ReplyDeleteI would have a lot of fun using them in pineapple or log cabin blocks and star blocks and all sorts of scrappy and paper pieced quilts that are bouncing around in my head. Plus one of my friends who has only boy children is expecting a granddaughter - who deserves a quilt made from this line!
ReplyDeleteI would try my very very best to make the most beautiful Honey Honey quilts!
ReplyDeleteDaria
Dusty911@telus.net
First, I would pick myself up after fainting on the floor! Then, I would run to my patterns to scour through them and find some that would show off that pretty fabric the best. Next off to the sewing machine to sew up these quilt tops to donate to various charities! Thank you for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteI would make my first quilt! Trinh: trinhthuyvu@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThink of the baby quilts I could make!!
ReplyDeleteI love anything Kate Spain so I can imagine lots of versatility with scraps from that collection! Can you give me more hours in my day along with the scraps??
ReplyDeleteWow, 40 pounds. What to do? I would enlist my mom, grandma, sisters and nieces to help me make as many scrappy quilts as possible to send to Walter Reed Hospital for the injured soldiers coming home to replace the one my husband received in 2008.
ReplyDeleteSome quilts for a local charity of choice:)
ReplyDelete40 lbs!! what couldn't i do with that! would be perfect for teaching the girls in my neighborhood a little sewing.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an awesome prize! My local modern quilt guild is making quilts for a local girls ranch. The idea is to give each girl a quilt that is her own and she will take it with her when she leaves the ranch. The ranch is an in-between place while the girls are between CPS and foster care waiting for their forever families! These awesome scraps would make happy happy quilts! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think I would make a quilt for each of my friends!
ReplyDeletehildy(at)ebertzeder(dot)de
Wowsers! How generous! I love the fabric! I would make a quilt for myself with it and the leftovers will be divided between the three charities I support - Project Friendship - sends small wall hangings to displaced tsunami victims from Japan, Na Lima Aloha (the Hands of Love) - my quilt Guild's charity, and Operation Kid Comfort - where we make photo quilts for children of deployed service members. Thank you for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteohhhh where to start...I would dream sweet quilting dreams for a few month, then one day wake up and start on the best of the dreams!!
ReplyDeleteWell first things first...I would share!! That's a lot of lovely fabric and I know TONS of people who would want in on this.
ReplyDeleteOnce that was done, depending on how large the "Scraps" are, I would piece together a dress for my daughter (currently working my way through the princesses) and probably make a quilt!
Woah! That would be crazy awesome. I would have to share because that would be too much for just me.
ReplyDeleteWowza! 40 lbs. of quilty goodness would be over-the-top-amazing!
ReplyDeleteSwoon - after they resucitated me I would call my quilty friends (The Robins) and we would get busy! So much sorrow lately, but this delightful box would go a long long way toward producing quilty smiles! (fingers crossed...)
ReplyDeleteYou are always so generous... I feel like it would be a pot of gold! So much to make, so little time to make it (quilts, patchwork animals and clothes).
ReplyDeleteI am another Siblings Together maker - so they would go to an amazing cause xxx
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt with it and take it to church to share with my quilty friends, it would probably make a great quilt for the prayer quilt ministry at church too!
ReplyDeletemissysaprons@gmail.com
(I had problems with posting my comment, so if two comments come through I'm sorry)
My 3yo has about 5 quilts, my 1yo has none. I would make her a whole honey honey themed room :) And use it for the preschool quilt I'll be making for the auction.
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to make quilts for project Genesis -- a group that helps young women escape from sex-trade trafficking in the Seattle area. Part of the program includes providing each woman or teen with safe housing. They're given a handmade blanket, quilt, or afghan which is theirs to keep -- a symbol that people in the community care about them. I love using fresh, modern fabrics that appeal to all ages, though I will use pretty much anything that comes to hand.
ReplyDeleteProbably a lovely scrappy quilt and lots of little projects like zippered bags and camera straps. :)
ReplyDeleteI would be so happy to have your scraps. I love the fabric line and i could use them to make quilts for foster kids when they graduate. It's what our guilting group dose together. lisaursino@msn.com
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for our fledgling guild to use for classes and challenges. We are hoping to do some charity quilts this year so 40lbs of scraps would go a looooonggg way!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
I would roll in it ?
ReplyDeleteOnce it's done, I would probably bring it to our guild meeting and we'd make a whole lot of baby quilts out of it !!
If I should win again, I would make a bigger quilt with the sweet Honey Honey fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWow, there are so many wonderful and inspirational ideas in these comments! What terrific people quilters are!
ReplyDeleteLots of quilts to give to family, friends and charity! Hubby says I should probably keep something I make one of these days too and I do love Honey Honey something fierce! :)
ReplyDeleteI have NO IDEA how much fabric is in 40#! But I would start by making a twin quilt for the Annie Malone Children's Center that our quilt guild is sponsoring this year,,,then I would split the rest with my daughter because we both love Kate Spain fabrics! And Happy Sewing would ensue!
ReplyDeleteMy quilt guild would love to use this for our many charity projects for hospitals, children, and homeless. thanks so much for your generosity!
ReplyDelete40 POUNDS?! like, the size of my four year old?! After I finished rolling around in it and instagramming pictures of myself rolling around it in, it would turn into a whole bunch of quilt tops. I like to randomly gift quilts to people I don't know. I leave them on various desks at work and no one has managed to figure out it's me yet. (Big office). I'd probably make a bunch to randomly gift just to share the honey honey joy!
ReplyDeleteOh Kate, Honey Honey is probably the prettiest fabric I've seen in a long time! What a generous gift of fabric! I think I'd make a bag or two for sure, and I think a quilt and matching pillow covers would make my living room so lovely! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteLots of petting, and then baby quilts! Lots and lots of them!
ReplyDeleteMy mind is racing! First I would make myself a lap quilt, then maybe share some!
ReplyDeleteI'd pull out some scraps for myself, but then would divvy up the rest with the ladies of the LAMQG!
ReplyDeleteWell, although it would be tempting to wallpaper my room with it so I could stare at it non-stop, I'd probably be practical and make a quilt...and maybe a little one for my American Girl doll too.
ReplyDeleteI am considering teaching my grade 4/5 students how to paper piece. They love sewing and I love sewing. Oh, my. This makes me sew (pun intended) excited!!
ReplyDelete40 pounds! Wow. Would make a Weekender bag for my granddaughter and share the rest with my guild. Crazy giveaway, thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful give away. Lots and lots of projects...
ReplyDeleteI don't even know if I could wrap my mind around having 40 lbs of gorgeous Honey Honey dropped on my door step! After I recovered from the shock, I would divvy it up between my quilty friends with the intention that we all make a quilt to donate to a worthy cause of our choice. (And hopefully there would be some leftover to make something fun to keep!)
ReplyDeleteGeebus. I would make the Ultimate Scrap Quilt. Then I'd make a couple of Ultimate Charity Quilts, maybe a dozen. And then I'd donate my ultimate leftover scraps to a quilt guild!
ReplyDeleteAs so many have stated before - the only thing to do with such a wonderful windfall would be to share with others and create for others. I would buy a bolt of white and create the most awsome colorful modern quilts for todays modern children...would love to win such a sweet box of goodness.
ReplyDeleteWhat would i do with 40 pounds of scraps? Take them to my quilting group, divy them up and make some charity quilts--for babies and vets. We always LOVE new to us scraps!! Amazing what we can do!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic giveaway. I'm another of the siblings together quilters, so would love to win this to share with my fellow virtual quilting bee'ers( incidentally called the honey bees)
ReplyDeleteOh my. What would I do/make with Honey Honey scraps? I would add some to my ever-growing pile of 2.5" squares for my scrappy Grannies and add some 2.5" strips to my pile for another scrappy trip around the world quilt. and if there is anything left over, I would share my bounty with my friend's mom who took time out of her life to teach me the sewing craft 5 years ago. :)
ReplyDelete40 pounds!!! talk about scrap quilts!
ReplyDeleteAs someone new to quilting I'm not sure what I would do with 40 pounds of scraps. I am going to my first Quilt Guild in town next Monday. I think I would take them along and ask the veteran ladies to help me out!
ReplyDelete
