Today I have the awesome privilege of hosting a giveaway for Julie at The Intrepid Thread! The Intrepid Thread is my go-to on-line store for modern fabrics. Julie brings in many beautiful lines – too many I would say, as I swoon over them and have to use all my willpower not to buy!
Julie’s service is delightfully speedy, she is always pleasant and goes out of her way to make sure she is giving you exactly what you want. Her prices are great (and I’m the original miser), and she has lots of special code days with 15 or 20 % off.
And on top of that Julie has a giveaway every Friday!
This fat quarter bundle of Cosmos by Dan Bennett is my most recent purchase from The Intrepid Thread. I loved this line the moment I saw it - only I foolishly waited a bit too long to place my order so my bundle is missing two of the fat quarters…
I only ordered this yesterday, so it isn’t here yet for me to play with… I can’t wait to see it in person and decide what to do with it!
This week Julie is giving away a Joy Charm Pack and a half yard each of Betty's Teal and Betty's Red which match it nicely.
You have two ways to enter the draw.
1. Go over to The Intrepid Thread, browse around, and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which line of fabric makes your heart go pitter-patter.
2. Leave me a second comment with a suggestion of what I should make with my Cosmos fat quarter bundle.
The giveaway will close at noon Pacific Standard Time on Friday, March 2012. I will draw the winner that evening. Edit – oh my, I forgot to put in the date – and I’m still back in March! Friday April 13th: is it your lucky day?
Oh this is so exciting!

I visited the Intrepid Thread and I can see myself using Poetica. Lots of nice colors.
ReplyDeleteBoy, when I look at Cosmos all I see are little cells dividing and amoebas. Not sure where that fabric is going. I think kids would like it.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and thank you ... as a birdie lover I think 'Flock' has got to be my choice.... lovely shapes and colours.....
ReplyDeleteHugz
Those are lovely lovely fabrics you got.... my suggestion would be making a quilt... with fairly big blocks (and maybe some plains) so that it shows off those pretty fabrics...
ReplyDeleteHugz
maybe I should change my fabric choice to Cosmos??
Thank you for hosting the giveaway! I like Apple Of My Eye!
ReplyDeleteI like The Apple of My Eye under coming soon.
ReplyDeleteYou should make 'me' a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've been drooling over the Cosmos line for a while. I've been good so far and not bought any.
ReplyDeleteI think the Cosmos line would look absolutely fantastic as some sort of bag or tote. Maybe one to haul around projects?
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to decide - but I think the Power Pop line is my favourite. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
ReplyDeletetoo many fabrics to name one, All I could imagine was fussy cutting little critters and cars into hexagon flowers! Oh no...
ReplyDeleteI like the "Apple of My Eye" from the Intrepid Thread. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe Cosmos collection would make a gorgeous quilt possibly half square triangles with some solids.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't decide between "Art Gallery Elements" and "Impressions".
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of digging Summerlove - Beyond Bliss in Ginger. I could see it in a top.
ReplyDeleteSupersized hexies. Into a quilt. That's what you should do with the cosmos.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking Cabana Blooms. So pretty..
ReplyDeleteThat line would look good any way you make it Janet.. I've been thinking about zig zags lately.. Happy Deciding! Thanks for the chance to win, and thanks to Intrepid Thread. :o)
ReplyDeletexo
i'm still liking Poetica - Half Yard Bundle In Seafoam Symphony Plus at intrepid thread. thanx for the chance to win the joy charms and the red to go with it!
ReplyDeletei like your cosmos choice, and can see a circles [bubbles] quilt there.
ReplyDeleteI love Cocoon. Hopefully it will still be around once I've saved up a couple, three weeks of fabric allowance so I can get a bundle of it.
ReplyDeleteCosmos is lovely. Since I usually make quilts out of everything I suggest you make a quilt! :D
ReplyDeleteJulie always does a great job & she is very, very generous with her give aways. I've been eye balling Cosmos ever since she introduced it. Can't wait to see what you make with it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Flying Free collection - perfect for some totes for my girls!
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
The Cosmos prints would look great in a strip quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for two chances to win this great giveawy Janet.
ReplyDeleteI love the "Sunny Happy Skies" collection as it would make gorgeous modern baby and kids quilts.
I would make large blocks with Wonky Stars with the Cosmos fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love the Cabana Blooms - Chevron in Yellow
ReplyDeleteshel704 at aol dot com
I like the Pezzy Prints!
ReplyDeleteHow about making a picnic quilt with your bundle!
ReplyDeleteSummer is on the way!
I need more fabric like I need a hole in my head but that "Art Gallery Elements" looks like it would go with plenty of other un-related fabric and look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow, as to what you should make....I think something with large pieces so you don't have to cut it up too much, maybe a star pattern. I think when you have a machine, there are lots of possibilities.One of my friends made a quilt where you stack up all the fabrics and cut the pile a number of times and then take a piece from each fabric to make different blocks. I know if I had a machine I would love to try that with coordinated fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOh I love COSMOS too in the turquoise and purple colorway!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning....thank you for another wonderful giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI love Summer Love; but would really like to have this Cosmos line....
I have been on Intrepid Thread...and in fact, I've been doing some "shopping" on there. Poetica is my FAVORITE! I ordered the bundle plus package of both from Julie. WOW, it literally got here the next day!!! Julie packaged it so nicely, all wrapped up with a nice handwritten card. Of course last night I couldn't sleep, so I was on line shopping again, adding some Elements solids to go with my Poetica. Can't wait to start putting it all together. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet you are having a hard time figuring out what to do with that gorgeous fabric. It would be hard for me to cut it up. I think i would do something simple like a brick path so that the patterns stay somewhat in tact. Please post what you make!
ReplyDeleteI love the new Peak Hour collection from the Intrepid Thread shop, thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteoh my, I love so much of it. I really love the Cocoon that is coming soon, and the Fruit Slice collection looks so stinkin' cute. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd make a nice double size quilt with a couple of pillows with those bundles, but I'm sure anything you do we'll look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm still in love with Sunny Happy Skies, especially the flowered prints. Julie has some over at The Intrepid Thread. Would love to make a tablerunner out of Joy - thanks to you both for the chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteA quilt of course! Cosmos would make a gorgeous quilt - something with big blocks that would show off those awesome prints! Have fun....
ReplyDeleteJanet, the Cosmos fabric is gorgeous! I was so tempted for that too. I might just have to get it. I think you have to make something that will do this fabric justice and show it off with larger piecing. How about "Show Me Your Fat Quarter and I'll Show you Mine" pattern that Julie sells on the Intrepid Thread?
ReplyDeleteI just adore "Sunny Happy Skies" It has pandas, which I love!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many beautiful fabric lines to choose from. But my favorite is Vintage Modern. Great colors. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
ReplyDeletea large chevron pattern would look neat with that bundle, or the apple core pattern that I saw somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI think A quilt out of the purple/blue/green would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteAt the Intrepid Thread shop, I love Lucy's Crab Shack!! Love those swimsuits on the clothesline!
ReplyDeleteWith your Cosmos fabric, I think you should certainly make a quilt that will be seen and used every day!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo looking forward to Lucy's Crap shack coming out! I love Julie and her shop and shop there WAY too often :)
ReplyDeleteI think the Cosmos fabric would look great made up using the Yellow Brick Road pattern. It shows off all the pretty fabrics. Enjoy your new bundle.
ReplyDeleteWell, I absolutely love Hello Pilgrim (but I've already bought it). So, on my want-list is the fat quarter bundle Maya. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThere are many beautiful fabrics and this time I chose summerlove.Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get my hands on some Peak Hour. My little guy would love it! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteYour new FQ bundle would make a lovely quilt, of course, but what about an apron?
ReplyDeleteI check out the Intrepid Thread just about every day; I ordered Peak Hour a couple of days ago. You're right....she has "too much" good stuff, hard to resist sometimes even when I should! I'm awaiting Summersville's arrival. Thanks for chance to win! (marshudson at comcast dot net)
ReplyDeleteI would use the Cosmos bundle in a quilt; not sure what pattern though. I'm sure you'll come up with something lovely. Thanks again for chance to win the giveaway. (marshudson at comcast dot net)
ReplyDeleteI love hello pilgrim!
ReplyDeleteI would make a kaleidoscope quilt. It would look fantastic with cosmos!
ReplyDeleteA star block quilt would be pretty with the Cosmos bundle.
ReplyDeleteMy current favorites in Julie's shop are Fruit Slice and Quilt Blocks (which isn't even in yet).
ReplyDeleteYou're asking me to choose? So many make my heart go pitter patter. I am liking the Art Gallery Elements the most today! Thank you for a chance to win. :-)
ReplyDeleteI suggest Swoon blocks from your Cosmos FQ.
ReplyDeleteI am loving poetica right now. thanks and I enjoyed your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat's is tough with Cosmos. I wouldn't dare to suggest anything to another person because we all have likes and dislikes.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, the first thing that comes to my mind is jellyfishes, sea turtles and the beach. Don't ask me why! Maybe it's because summertime and the beach is on my mind! LOL. :-) Gotta confess that it would be one weird looking quilt and a huge challenge if I decided to try to implement this thought into a quilt. :-0 LOL. :-)
I think the Cosmos would be great in a granny square or swoon pattern quilt! thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello Pilgrim Leaves and Berries call out to me to make a table runner with a large center rectangle and use some of the simpler leaves fabric for an outer border. I think I'm heading back over to the shop!
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of Flock.
ReplyDeleteThe Cosmos fabrics are lovely! Not sure what I'd suggest - maybe a Twister quilt?
ReplyDeleteFruit Slice is at the top of my list at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYour Cosmo fabric looks to me like it should become a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of Riley Blake, so one of his current lines, Woodlands Tails, is one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I think Cosmos would look great in the Rail fence or Bricks pattern!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in the Flying Free fabrics, and those dandelions make me feel like a child in summer
ReplyDeleteThose Cosmos fabrics would make a nice Retro Flower quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love everything in Julie's shop, LOL! Pezzy Prints are next on my list!
ReplyDeleteI think the Cosmos prints would make an amazing Swoon quilt paired with a creamy neutral (Kona Ash or a quilter's linen, maybe?)
ReplyDeleteI think the Cosmos FQ bundle would make a great quilt using a pattern with bigger blocks that would show off the beautiful big prints in the bundle.
ReplyDeleteHello Pilgrim is my favorite, but I really want the Maya bundle!
ReplyDeleteIntrepid Thread has so many choices, but I'd pick Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camille. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love Maya!
ReplyDeleteI think Cosmos would make a very cool kaleidoscope quilt.
ReplyDeleteIntrepid Thread is a great store & blog. I love Fruit Slice - the colors and patterns are so summery. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI think whatever you make with Cosmos should be something that features larger blocks so that you can see the unique designs, vs. piecing tiny blocks and chopping the fabric up. Looking forward to spending time on your blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with A Walk in the Woods and Fly a Kite....also love Julie's blog and fabrics. I'm actually working on a tutorial for her newsletter!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are so cheery that I'd be thinking some pillow covers or a nice quilt top?
ReplyDeleteVisited the Intrepid Thread and would choose Vintage Modern...love anything by Bonnie and Camille. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDelete~Terry~
My favortie over at Julie's is Poetica followed by Hello Pilgrim. Love the bundles she puts together.
ReplyDeleteI think they would look fantastic in a Swoon Quilt or in a mini swoon Ipad or Kindle cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!. I am now following your blog thanks to Julie.
I agree the blocks should be big. I have a thing for snowball blocks, maybe with 4 different colored solids making up the 4 corner pieces so the quilt will be really bright and colorful.
ReplyDeleteWhat to make with your Cosmos FQ bundle?...perhaps a quilt with large snowball blocks to show off those great prints.
ReplyDelete~Terry~
I really like Verona.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to make a Christmas tree skirt-this would be really cute for that.
ReplyDeleteI love all of intrepid's bundles, they are so drooly!! I love anything that has blues in it, and actually around new years she made one with orange (which I usually don't like) but it was orange and grey, I really liked that bundle!
ReplyDeleteI see you changed your banner picture
there are so many cute FQ patterns.... hmm
ReplyDeletewhat about this circle in a star pattern I made a tutorial on my blog, I used 12 FQs I think, but you can resize it

ReplyDeleteI checked out IT, and I love Flea Market Fancy!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!!!!!!
Love love love Flea Market Fancy!
ReplyDeleteLove Cabana Blooms at Intrepid Threads. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe Cosmos fabric you have is almost too pretty to cut. I might try a D9P quilt, using the prints in the four outside corners, a soft yellow orange as the center square, & a cream/white as the other 4 middle squares. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI really like Flock! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteA pinwheel quilt would be nice!
ReplyDeleteI think your Cosmos bundle would look great in rectangle squared blocks or the Stained QAL pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteI love all her fabrics. I really couldn't pick just one. It's like a candy store for adults.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Summerlove line of fabrics right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I love her fabrics! Right now, I'm really loving Apple of My Eye.
ReplyDeleteI think that Cosmos collection would make a beautiful quilt. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
I think since circles seem to dominate, why not make a quilt of large circles of these fabrics, machine appliqued on. And maybe intersperse with solid circles of coordinating colors, or maybe use solid colored squares. Just a thought. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI really like Poetica. Of course, that's today. Tomorrow I'll spot something else I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI always hold on to my most cherished fabrics until the perfect project jumps out at me! Not sure what I would do with Cosmos.
ReplyDeleteYour Cosmos needs something with big blocks to show off those great fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI follow Julie and I love her tutorials and I really like this charm pack that you are giving away! My girls all want a quilt for their couches for every holiday! That would give me a great start!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to put my e-mail on the last post...kiku_75@hotmail.com
DeleteI just saw a quilt that looked like a stained glass window...it would be perfect for those prints! kiku_75@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am an Intrepid thread customer - a happy one at that. I am into pezzy and chevron's at the moment.
ReplyDeletewhat to do with the cosmos - find a pattern that works with both big blocks and small blocks, I would even throw in various squares, rectangles, and a couple of circles - I guess I would have to sit down and draw up my own pattern for it because nothing comes to mind that I have seen...
ReplyDeleteLots of great fabric! Looking forward to Apple of my Eye!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Summerlove BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the Cosmos line!
ReplyDeleteI think the Swoon by Thimble Blossoms pattern. would look great in these fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI am collecting fabrics for the Peak Hour designs. I have 4, but need at least two more. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

I would love to make a small lap quilt. As many quilts as I have made, I have never made a Christmas one! Thanks for the giveaway chance.
ReplyDeleteLinda
http://homesweetquiltinghome.blogspot.com
I love the Poetica line, thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would likely make a lap quilt but once until you have it in your hands you never now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this giveaway. The Intrepid Thread is one of my favorites. I think, instead of picking a print line, I would pick Art Gallery solids or Bella solids, because I never really stock up on solids and I should.
ReplyDeleteI think Julie chooses the most wonderful fabric lines! My current favorite is Flock.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about scrappy lap quilts so that is what I would do with Cosmos. A pattern with big enough pieces to feature this lovely and unique fabric.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a quilt!!
ReplyDeleteWoodland Trail makes my heart go pitter pat.
ReplyDeleteI love the cosmos collection!
ReplyDeleteI would do some pillow cases and a quilt for my living room and I think you could do the same!
ReplyDeleteA Walk in the Woods is one that I find truly awesome. It makes up in such cute projects.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion would be a new purse/bag. They would be so begirt and summery.
ReplyDeleteI so want the Fruit Slice fabrics! Those would be the ones I'd go for...will go for...
ReplyDeleteI love the IT shop. I've been wanting the walk in the woods fabric bundle for a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm into quilts alot lately so that'd be what I sugguest, but thats just me. THanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI love the Cosmos fabrics! I don't think I could bear to cut them into tiny shapes because all those wonderful circle shapes would be broken up, so I'd use the fabric to make pillowcases.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be cocoon that makes the heart jump!All those flutterbys!lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat to make with your cosmos though- I saw a stunning quilt from large HSTs, with white, arranged to make concentric diamonds. Now that would be stunning. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteVISITED HER SHOP+I LOVE "SUNNY HAPPY SKIES"!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS FOR SHARING!
HAPPY STITCHING!
msstitcher1214@yahoo.com
HOW ABOUT NEW SOFA PILLOWS FOR SUMMER+A TOTE TOO!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR SHARING!
msstitcher1214@yahoo.com
I've liked the Cosmos blue and green colored prints since I first saw them. Plus, I'm drawn to "FMF the rerun" and Good Fortune.
ReplyDeleteHave been loving Poetica since it came out...maybe that's a sign?
ReplyDeleteFor the cosmos... I would just make a nice scrappy, yet coordinated (because of the line of fabric) quilt. Take a nice solid that matches and make a granny square quilt. I find them simple yet fascinating :) especially with this bundle would be nice. BTW, following you now :)
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't use very many of your fat quarters, but I think the Cosmos fabrics would make a great summer tote/purse? Then I guess you'd have enough left for a small quilt?
ReplyDeleteI very attracted to the Maya collection at Intrepid Threads. Esp, the large flower print!
ReplyDeleteThere is a diamond pattern in the May/June issue of McCalls Quilting - P.S. I Love You - the concept of the designers would look good in these large scale prints. A circular quilting motif with the diamonds would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love the Summerlove Collection!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about Lu Summers first collection Summersville, simple and beautiful and will be great for so many projects (if I dare cut into them!) - thanks for hosting a great giveaway
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Fit FOr a Princess Quilt from Katy at Sew, Mama, Sew? Would really show off the patterns in the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThe Cosmos bundle would be gorgeous for so many things...not sure how warm your summer will be but I could see this as a gorgeous patchwork skirt for a young girl. But if you're anything like me you might just keep it for a while to look at!
ReplyDeleteI must admit cosmo is great with cabana bloom running close! I envision stars with Cosmo
ReplyDeleteJulie's Flea Market Fancy makes my heart go pitter patter, for sure! Love Julie's service and prices...
ReplyDeleteCosmo would make a wonderfully eye-catching quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteI love the Cabana Blooms!
ReplyDeleteCosmo=quilt. I don't know what else I would do with it? So we'll see what you decide on. :)
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! awesome! Fela market fancy makse my heart go pitter patter!
ReplyDeletewhat about a quilt? Maybe the new pattern tracey has published.
ReplyDeletehttp://traceyjayquilts.blogspot.ca/
I really like the cocoon, beautiful with the butterflies and I could use that to make a quilt for my DIL.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I am not sure on the cosmos fabric, but wondering if you cut it into triangles and then put them back together, it might have a nice Kaleidoscope look.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I'm in love with the flea market fancy and the whole Verona line!!
ReplyDeletewell... i'm addict to Julie's shop.. and like you my best choice is the cosmos bundle! thank's for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteto do with this bundle... many choice.. a bag... or a pouch... or an apron... or a quilt! as you wish
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Fruit Slice in her shop. I'm on a fabric diet as we're moving soon, but hopefully it'll join my stash one day!
ReplyDeleteDid you see what Julie did with her Cosmos? check out her blog post of Feb 22nd. I'm thinking something organic and flowing lines. also, I have a pinterest board with quilts if you want to look at it, it is:http://pinterest.com/helenlebrett/quilts/
ReplyDeletegood luck on your decision!!
As for your Cosmos beauties, something that shows off the prints! Maybe a Bento Box quilt? Or some zippered pouches or bags!
ReplyDeleteIt might be easier to list the fabrics that DON'T make my heart go pitter patter! LOL! I am really liking the VERONA line right now. :)
ReplyDeleteHow about using your pretty new fabric for a SWOON quilt??
ReplyDeleteSo many choices! I really like the Fruit Slice - Fat Quarter Bundle Entire Collection by Khristian A. Howell.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to know my 2nd choice? third? etc.
What a bright & colorful collection...It reminds me of a New York Beauty Quilt Block. But, the fabric would make fabulous place mats, or table runner or a cool purse.
ReplyDeleteA larger quilt w old be nice, maybe those new zigzag ones! Great colors indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love Good Fortune!
ReplyDeletePeak hour for kids is the line I like...She has a great shop!
ReplyDeleteBella is my new fav! Luv it!
ReplyDeleteI've sort of been stuck on table runners lately, but I don't know how Cosmos goes with your decor. That idea might not work. A have recently discovered a new enthusiasum for traditional quilt blocks made with modern fabrics. They seem to play nicely together. Twelve 12.5" blocks and 2 or 3 borders would make a nice lap quilt.
ReplyDeleteI sooooo envy you where you live!!!
I totally understand you saying you foolishly waiting to order and then having two FQ's missing. I just did the very same thing myself a few days ago although my order just arrived today. She's awesome though and was great. She let me choose what I wanted to replace those two and I think she actually gave me more on top of those two I chose. Can't get much better service than that.
ReplyDeleteI want a number of things she has in her shop but first at the top of my list is the one I have wanted for a few months now. It was the last one of three at the top of my wish list so choosing what I'd buy over in her shop is easy.
She's got a gorgeous bundle called "From Lilac to Grape A Purple Half Yard Bundle". Yep. That is next on my list to order unless she lists something else that screams to me first I suppose. LOL
The butterflies in cocoon are so cute. I also like the Happiness prints. Great colors and fun prints.
ReplyDeleteWhat you should make with your Cosmos?
ReplyDeleteI think that would be awesome to use in one of Amanda Murphy's quilt patterns.
The two that I think would be great are village Green
http://www.amandamurphydesign.com/villagegreen.asp
And Town Square
http://www.amandamurphydesign.com/townsquare.asp
I love the Cosmos too. I think you should do something that has some large areas to show off the prints a bit. Either squares or rectangles would be nice.
ReplyDeleteI like the Happiness - Sweet Symphony in Fuchsia pattern. Really soft, and floral. Something that I enjoy! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat to make with the Cosmos? Hard question. Everyone's tastes are different! Maybe a little scrappy star pattern?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I love the Flying Free...what Great colors and designs!
ReplyDeleteWith the Cosmos? Wow - I would make a bag - so I could carry those fabrics around with me wherever I went!
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite fabric line is 'A Walk in the Woods'. I've been a follower at the Intrepid Thread for a while now and love getting the emails in my inbox. I get all inspired to see the new fabric lines come into the shop. Be blessed, Kathy
ReplyDeleteThe Cosmos fabrics are beautiful. They almost have an oriental feel to them. I'd envision a nice tote bag and and a few things to spiff up the sewing room... like a machine cover, trim on some simple curtains, roman blinds, ironing board cover etc. How sweet that would be!! Be blessed, Kathy
ReplyDeleteI love Lucy's Crab Shack - I love all of Sweetwater's prints! Thank you Julie for the chance to win such a sweet bundle.
ReplyDeleteI think that fabric would look great for a bag.
ReplyDeleteEverything makes my heart go pitter patter!
ReplyDeleteI think you should make little zippered pouches with your purchase.
ReplyDeleteI like Petal Pushers. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe Cosmos fabric would make great looking totes.
ReplyDeletei like the santa clous is coming to town
ReplyDeletei would start my christmas with that and you could to
ReplyDeleteI want some of the Peak Hour dots.
ReplyDeleteIt old make a great quilt with matching cushion covers.
ReplyDeleteRight now a half yard cut of every one of the prints in the Peak Hour collection makes my heart go pitter patter. I think the new grand baby will be a boy.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a quilt using the Swoon pattern by Thimbleblossom Quilts and I think your fat quarter bundle of Cosmos would look great with this pattern.
ReplyDeleteI like Cosmos too. Chemistry is still a favorite. Mostly, I love her story. That's when I was hooked.
ReplyDeleteSome people don't like the harsh lines, but I think a Sudoku quilt would feel like looking through the windows for a peak into the Universe.
ReplyDelete
