My sincere apologies for the crappy photo: working hours this winter mean I leave the house just as the sun is rising and get home after it's set, and I'm not set up for night shots.
My giveaway this year is some scraps of Mendocino Mermaids by Heather Ross:
I had the exact measurements written down somewhere, but the largest piece - 'Mermaids In Gold' - is a Fat Eighth (22" x 9") and the smallest - 'Octopi in Natural' - is around 6"x 8".
I'll post to anywhere in the world, and all you have to do to enter is tell me what you'd use these scraps for! The winner will be picked by random number generator on the 18th May (US time).
If you're a no-reply blogger, please leave your email address! Last year, a no-reply blogger won my Mendocino Mermaids giveaway and I couldn't contact her because she hadn't left her email address. This year, if you're a no-reply blogger and you don't leave an email address in your comment so I can contact you, I'll delete your comment.
The supplies give-away link-up is here at Sew Mama Sew, who has organised and run this give-away for several years now. If you have something to give away/share with people, join the link-up!

I want to make two tiny tote bags (less than 8x10) for my two girls, one of whom LOVES mermaids and whose favourite colours are gold and pink (and turquoise too, because why pick just one?!) and the little one wants to be just like big sister.
ReplyDeleteSo yes please I would use these and quickly too. Thanks!
I add the scraps to a pillow that I am making for a girly friend who is requesting something using a lot of "in your face pink". Thanks for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteMaking a wall hanging for my daughters' room because they'd love it so much! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteI saw a project on Pinterest a while ago that would work perfectly with these. It was a boxy zipper pouch. The main fabric was (canvas or linen, I can't recall). Along the middle of the bag, all the way around (not side to side, but front to back) was a patchwork panel in jewely colours. The zipper was a pinky colour that matched the patchwork. I'd hunt that pin down, put it up on my computer, and then get cracking on a very similar bag :D Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThose hours sound harsh! I would add them to some much hoarded Mendocino for a cushion I have designed in my head.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest is begging for a messenger bag so this might be just the ticket! Thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteI think they would make an awesome tote bag. Thanks for a chance to win them

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how can you bear to part with these? That pink mermaid one is especially stunning. I came across Heather Ross too late to snaffle some of her Mendocino fabrics. I do not yet know what I would make from them but if those sea creatures found their way across the ditch to me in New Zealand, our closer economic relations would be well and truly sealed :).
ReplyDeleteIs "pet them" an acceptable answer? :) I would like to make some patchwork zippy bags with them. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have these scraps. They are darling. I would let them sit on my sewing table and enjoy them before I determined the perfect project for them.
ReplyDeleteI would make something pretty for my daughter. She LOVES mermaids!

ReplyDeletenot entirely sure. maybe some sort of applique project? these are great! i'm on a big mermaid kick right now.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd probably use these scraps in patchwork for small projects like zipper pouches and that sort of thing. BUT I say that knowing that I've got a fair collection of small Mendocino cuts that I never use because I always feel like they're too precious to use! Clearly I need to get over myself and just do it! (I've tried - the header on my blog is the one project I've got in progress using Mendocino!)
ReplyDelete(clumsy.chord(at)gmail.com)
I'd love to work them into a quilt for my tiny girl.
ReplyDeleteI would use them for stroking and looking at, probably, before deciding to turn them into a pretty pouch. Thanks for the chance x
ReplyDeleteI might make jewelry with them :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a mini quilt to hang just outside the entrance to my bathroom. So appropriate!
ReplyDeleteBTW, this should be part of the earlier comment and not another entry. I love the quilts you show on your blog header and they have inspired me to follow you.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use these in an I spy quilt!

These would be pretty framed in an embroidery hoop in my daughters room !
ReplyDeleteI have been collecting Mendocino scraps for a quilt, so I would use them in that project!
ReplyDeleteOMG I don't have any of this line at all. By the time I got into sewing it was already rare to find and as a learner it seemed like a bad idea to spend that much on fabric I might ruin. I would love to include some small fussy cut pieces in bags, a quilt or a little dress for my daughter. I would use every last morsel I promise.
ReplyDeleteAs the centre block for an Economy Block quilt for my Granddaughter, or maybe for me! Thank you for the give away.
