Giveaway Day Winter 2011

 THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED, THANKS FOR ENTERING!!!

Hello and welcome if you came here from Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day.  To my regular readers, welcome back.  I'm excited to have you all!


I showed you a sneak peak last week, and you may have guessed this sweet mermaid is the work of Heather Ross.  I made a silly mistake and all of you have the chance to benefit from it.


I participated in Heather's Studio Sale this fall and due to some delays she gave us a coupon for a quick sale of some popular re-prints on Spoonflower.  Of course, I had to get the mermaids.  I mean I do have the mendocino guest room and all.  Since it's not to often you can get the Mendocino fabrics at any price, I decided to get two yards.  I added two yards to the cart (and some campers & wild flowers) but as I was checking out, I realized the quantity of the mermaid fabric was "1".  If I looked closer it would have been 1 - 2 yard cut, but I was in a hurry and changed it to "2."  So, before I knew it I had ordered 4 yards of the fabric.  Then it came and it is not the same color-way as her Mendocino line for Freespirit - it is also a much larger scale print.  Still very beautiful! So I am sharing 2 yards with you and I need some help.


For the chance to win 2 yards of Heather Ross Spoonflower Mermaid fabric and the Stitch holiday edition, please leave a comment telling me  an idea for what I can use my own two yards for, or at least, what you'll do with it.  Extra comment for following. Comments will be accepted until December 16 at 5pm.  I'll choose a winner randomly. Please make sure to leave your email address in the comment or your profile.  No email, no prize!

And, if you are looking for something fun to take to a holiday party, please have a look at this post.

Thanks and Good Luck! -Courtney

    The large scale of this print makes me think it'd be perfect for two different things: (1) cute curtains in a little girl's room and (2) an awesome quilt backing. :)

    That print is so pretty. I'd love a pillow case made from it even though it wouldn't match with any of our bedding. I'd just be my special pretty I fell asleep on. It would also look lovely in some embroidery/quilting hoops and hung on the wall!

    oh, I didn't realise it was a larger scale either! I *came this close* to getting some from spoonflower too but the budget was just not there, even with the coupon! I love the print so much, I would probably just hem the sides & hang it up with a dowel a la Heather's kits. Or perhaps... a dolly quilt with some fun hand stitching added in. Or a pillow! Or..anything already suggested, you really can't go wrong with this fabric!

    I would cut out a mermaid and add embroidered embellishments and put it up on the wall, then I'd send the rest to my mom. She makes quilts for a charity that gives them to children in need.

    My daughter loves this fabric. The store that had some sold out so fast so it would be great to win.
    The idea I saw that was pretty neat was on a blog, can't remember which one, but they made curtains and put the big print at the bottom of the curtain so you could really see it.
    I thought it was a great idea for a focal fabric that you don't really want to cut up.

    My 3 girls love this fabric as much as i do!
    So this is what i would love to do with this fabric little purses and hair ribbons (think tubes that are stitched up then tide like minnies bow.)
    or then again maybe small left overs for pockets on a sweet little skirt or on a quilt. Or used as goods for the kids bathroom. Or a overnight bag they can use on sleep overs. So much to do with one chick that has not hatched. LOL!

    I'd use this lovely fabric to make a summery skirt to wear to the beach. And since you have a Mendocino guest room (which is gorgeous by the way!), I think you could maybe use your bit of the fabric to make pillow covers, or use it to make a new shade for a lamp, or since the print is a bit larger, maybe stretch it over a frame to make some Mendocino wall art.
