Day 17 of 30 Day Giveaway- Dupioni Silk from Brewer Quilting and Sewing Supplies

IHAN's Day 17 of the
30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration

Here in Ohio....Sapphire Sea Silk Collection makes me think.......
.......ahhhhhhh Kokomo

Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take ya

To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go
Jamaica
off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

The luxury of silk and the beauty of the sea....together....now that is what I call a dream come true :)  The best part is you don't have to put on a bathing suit to enjoy this Sapphire Sea.....and the crowd goes wild!!!  LOL

Blue Underground Studios have the a great pattern that is perfect for the Sapphire Sea Silk Collection:  


Don't you just want to lay on a hammock in the caribbean with this lovely silk throw draped over you?  Me too!!! 

Brewer Quilting and Sewing certainly know how to spoil a quilter don't they?  They certainly know how to spoil IHAN blog readers that is for sure!!! 

If you have not sewn with silk before you may find Shannon Gifford's article interesting.  Shannon  calls silk dupioni "the queen of fabrics" and has lots of great information in her Sewing Guides at Emma One Sock - Sewing Guides by Shannon Gifford.

Who wants to win this incredible box of Sapphire Sea Dupioni Silk?  Ouch....not so loud...everyone at once....that just hurt my ears and woke my co-workers up.   Yikes, I guess I get what I ask for ay?  Well, if you really, really, really want this box of silk....you need to leave us a comment Thanking Brewer Quilting and Sewing for being so generous AND tell us what you would do to win the Sapphire Sea Silk Collection

Smiles,
Kelly

  1. Do I get to be first? We will see.

    Thanks Thanks A BIG OLD THANKS to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for such a delightful prize.

    What would I do? I would sing a beach song and record it- then put it on youtube so you can post it here. I would make something totally lovely - because how could I do otherwise with this silk - and blog how wonderful it is to sew with Dupioni Silk -- and you can get it at Brewer Quilting and Sewing

  2. A great big thank you from the great white north to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for such a wonderful prize that just sings of tropical breezes.

    What would I do with this amazing prize. I'm going to be going on vacation to Hawaii in May and I have always wanted to create a quilt that captures the beauty of Hawaii so I'm planing on taking lots of pictures. When I get home I'm going to design my Hawaii quilt and this silk fabric would just put this quilt over the top.

  3. Thank you, Brewer Quilting and Sewing. I have admired jackets people have quilted using silk, so I think I would attempt that and would then wear my jacket proudly and post photos of it on my blog along with a big message of THANKS there to Brewer and to you, Kelly.....for this great prize as part of your 30-day giveaway!

  4. Oh my gosh- I WANT THIS!!! I think if I won it, I'd try to work pieces of it (and its fabulous sheen) into my bags & quilts made with military uniforms. I think the drab + shiny would look pretty cool together.

  5. How could anyone not be enthralled by this fabric? It is gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete
  7. These are absolutely gorgeous...how could you part? Perfect for a special project of mine!

    ReplyDelete
  8. A big thank you to Brewer Quilting and Sewing! I was just looking at these at my LQS yesterday!
    I would drool over these for a little while, they are almost too pretty to take out of the box and then finally I would use them to make a very special quilt!

  9. Thanks goes to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for being so generous. I want to win this incredible box of Sapphire Sea Dupioni Silk! I really, really, really want this box of Brewer silk.... The colors are my mother's favorites and she wants to make a crazy quilt.
    I have a silly song and dance routine that I would perform to win the Sapphire Sea Silk Collection. I wrote the song myself. All who experience my act laugh out loud and beg me to stop. Oh well, it does bring smiles. mlwright29 {at} hotmail {dot} com

  10. Thank you, thank you Brewer Quilting and Sewing!!! What a wonderful prize. I would probably make a wearable art jacket. I used to make jackets all the time and I think it is time to update my wardobe. Thanks again Brewer Quilting and Sewing and congratulations to IHAN on your anniversary.

  11. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Brewer Quilting and Sewing! Your silks look gorgeous! These blue/green jewel tones are my absolute favorite, and they will make a stunning collection of evening bags!

  12. THANK YOU Brewer Quilting and Sewing for giving one of us the chance to win these fabulous fabrics.

    I would sing and dance...but it might be better for the world if I make a lap quilt to snuggle up with...

  13. I have used dupioni silk in my crazy quilting. I love it. If I win this give-away I would make a crazy quilt square with a sea theme.

  14. How wonderfully generous of Brewer Quilting and Sewing to make such a fabulous donation. Thanks to them and to you. I'm drooling over the hues and the textures of these beautiful silk fabrics that would add sheen and richness to my art quilts.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Wow! I can't believe how generous Brewer Quilting and Sewing is to make this prize available! Thank you, BQS! I really, really want this. What would I do to win it? Well, inspired by the color scheme, I might say that I would swim across the Gulf of Mexico to win it. But that would be a stretch. I'm not a good swimmer. But I could write a story about swimming across the Gulf of Mexico.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Just realized you asked me to tell you WHAT I would do to win them, not what would I do IF I won them... Sorry - I guess to win them, I'd read the instructions better, then submit my comment - and I'd even send you a picture of what I make with these gorgeous silks (if I win) generously donated by Brewer Quilting and Sewing. Thank you!

  18. PLEEEAASSEEE don't let this be an April Fools, because just the thought of so much blue-beauty makes me fluttery.

    Thank you Brewer Quilting and Sewing. You know how to make quilters happy.

    It is exciting to contemplate making something that isn't cotton. I have thought about re-doing my bedroom to blue (red and gold is getting old) and this would make a terrific throw. Mmmmm--how nice silk would feel for an afternoon nap!

    To win it I would donate a quilted jacket pattern I have created. It isn't great or fancy, but someone might like it and I would be giving back. I offer this because someone above mentioned a jacket and that would be my second choice of what to make with this. I love blue!

    ReplyDelete
  19. A super big thanks to Brewer Quilting and Sewing. This is a fabulous item.

    What would I do "to" win this? How about 20 minutes of hula hooping????? Then I wouldn't feel guilty for sitting hours while I sew with it. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  20. OK, forget my other entries. THIS is what I really, really want. *L*

    I'd be making a quilt - I have started a small stash of silks to do just that.

    THX to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for a wonderful giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Brewer Quilting and Sewing is totally awesome!! Thanks for the great giveaway! I want to use some of this silky goodness to make a crazy quilt block pillow. Some would also be used to make some cute little purses for gifts.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oooh, this saphire color way is just gorgeous! Right down my alley. Since I have never sewn with silk before I like the suggested pattern, I would make the Berkley Blue. Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, what beautiful fabric. Thank you for a wonderful give-away. I'd make my first silk quilt with that gorgeous fabric....

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow! Big thanks to Brewer quilting and you too Kelly! This would be fabulous to win, love blue and of course silk! Thanks for another wonderful give away, Sharonj.

  26. Thank you Brewer Quilting and you, Kelly, for sponsoring this wonderful month of giveaways. I would love the fabric (besides my feeding my addiction to fabric) to make the quilt pattern you have posted, Berkeley Blue. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  27. thank you thank you thank you Brewer Quilting and Sewing for the wonderful blue eye candy! And thank you IHAN for not hoarding such a treat!

    I would make something mighty similar to that quilt you showed the pattern to! I think a cute bag would be nice too, but I would worry about getting it dirty too much, even if it were just a "special event" bag

    ReplyDelete
  28. How would I thank thee? Let me count the ways -
    1) I would stand on my head (although I'd probably pass out)
    2) I would jump on my bed (but the legs would give out)
    3) I would paint my face red (it would be hard to wash out) and
    4) I would say what they ^ said
    (in one breath - I'd definitely pass out!)

    Seriously, thank you, Brewer Quilting and Sewing, for an awesome giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Brewer Quilting and Sewing -- you are the bomb! Thanks so much for such an amazing prize! That is a big WOW. The colors are fabulous. And what would I make with those fabulous fabrics? I'm sure I could think of something ;). Most likely a zig-zag quilt. I think that would show off those beautiful colors nicely. Crossing my fingers. Is it April 16th yet?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Brewer Quilting and Sewing your generosity is overwhelming. Thank-you for donating this fabulous gift. I would be willing to do many things to win this box of silk - quit my job and stay home and sew? well maybe I better not. What I can commit to is making a quilt out of that silk if I win it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thank you Brewer Quilting and Sewing for being so generous and offering such a beautiful set of silks.I have never sewn with silk, but if I won I am sure I would wing it! I would probably make the sample you showed in the post.

  34. Thanks to Brewer and Quilting for such a gorgeous and generous giveaway. I really want this fabric. What would I do to get it?

    ReplyDelete
  39. If I won this silk, I would first of all spend a long time running my hand over each piece and just drinking in those rich colors. I am already starting a new project in my head--with curves, lots of curves. Those colors and that glow just cry out for curves.

    Thanks, Brewer Quilting and Sewing, for letting me dream a bit.

  51. Thanks, Brewer Quilting and Sewing! (I feel like one of those cheesy commercials.)

    What would I do to win this? Not sure. I would definitely NOT murder, but I might steal. I'd for sure promise to cut it up, instead of eternally saving it for a rainy day. And I'd definitely agree to send you my scraps. :)

Saphire Sea Dupioni Silk.....ahhhh....I live in Rhode Island which has been flooded by our recent storms....even the mall is filled with 6 feet of water....Now Saphire Sea is more like my kind of water...I would love to create a quilt which would celebrate water as a life giving source.

  70. What a delight it would be to have these silk pieces in these rich colors. I instantly saw a pillow (I love pillows) with a particular sea life embroidery that I purchased but have not stitched out. These would be those fabrics that you just want to run your fingers over and drink in and you watch the silk shimmer. This would be a most delightful "win". Thanks

  71. Hi and greetings from Western Australia. Thank you so much to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for being so generous and giving us the opportunity to win the Sapphire Sea Silk Collection. I suppose it is not a big deal for them, but for us quilters this is a really, really big deal. I'd be willing to pay the postage to Australia - is that enough to win? I love the look of silk and dream of making a quilt from some. Thanks also to you, Kelly, for all your hard work doing this; I gather you are having some fun and getting quite a buzz from this, but there is still a lot of work. So, thanks, we really appreciate it. Sam (Sandra) s.downes@murdoch.edu.au

  72. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for the wonderful box of Sapphire Sea Dupioni Silk. If I were so lucky as to win, it would only be a perfect idea to make the Berkley Blue quilt. It's gorgeous!

  73. What a beautiful assortment of silk! A big thank you to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for the fantastic giveaway. What would I do to win this silk?... What would you like me to do?... I could sing Kokomo and throw in a vague dance step or two! Not that anyone would actually WANT to see that!!!

  74. Holy cow, those are beautiful! Many thanks to Brewer Quilting & Sewing for the generous gift.
    If I could figure out how to make the video feature of the camera talk to the computer; I'd do the Chicken Dance with the 4 year old daughter and post it.
    I would be willing to cut up my wedding dress to mix the Dupioni silk from that with the Sapphire Sea to make a quilt.
    I also have a son that I could loan you for yard work!
    Thank you too Kelly. This kind of thing did take some serious planning and leg work on your part.

  75. I live on the seafront and have always had a vague idea of making an art quilt from one of the photos I've taken. When it comes to doing it, I always realise I need more shades of blues and greens so it never gets done. Thank you Brewer Sewing and Quilting for a chance to win these and get started at last!

    ReplyDelete
  76. The possibilities are endless! I'd make something for my mom...she'd LOVE this color scheme.

    ReplyDelete
  77. THANK YOU Brewer Quilting and Sewing for offering this FANTASTIC prize for IHAN Birthday Bash! What a great choice of colors!!!

    IF, and I know that's a huge IF, I won this one, you would have to call the EMT's!! I just might keel over and someone would have to bring me back to life!! I am all about Blues, so this would be absolutely perfect for me. I'm thinking I would buy that Berkly Blue pattern and make that so I could be wrapped in all of that luciousness of the fantastic silk!

    THANKS AGAIN, (even if I don't win)

  82. THANK YOU Brewer Quilting and Sewing for a chance at the beautiful silk dupioni fabrics.

    I would do...I would do...Cut it? Did someone say CUT IT UP? Oh my! I want to touch it. For a long time. Then...eventually...some day...I would lay a pair of scissors on top and if by some chance I woke in the morning to find it cut into pieces, I would resew it together in a pattern pleasing to me. ;)

  119. Thanks, thanks and more thanks to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for their lovely Sea Silk Collection of silk fabric. My favourite fabric to use in crazy quilting is silk, and I can imagine a large under-the-sea wall hanging made from these amazing colours.

  124. I can't thank Brewer Quilting and Sewing strongly or loudly enough for the chance to win the Sapphire Sea Silk Collection. I'm almost speechless, I've never worked with dupioni silk and melt at the thought. Those colors are to die for, or rather I'm in the Kokomo dream right with ya.

  128. Thank you so much to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for this generous giveaway of gorgeous silks. I think I would make myself a chic evening bag with the silk if I was lucky enough to win it. I might even try to find a dress in matching colours for my brother's wedding.

    And now. What would I do.

    Ummm...

    Sing?

    Dance?

    Promise to hug and kiss each beautiful jeweled square of fabric.

    Gosh.

    The options for bribery are endless.

    OK, I've got it.

    I will send them a big beautiful bouquet of sweet peas from my garden...some in the dark luscious shades of this silk.

  131. I've never owned any dupioni silk, so thanks go to Brewer Quilting and Sewing for giving me a chance to win this beautiful fabric. I'm sure the Sapphire Sea will go to great use, because I would make a wall hanging to place in my living room.

  142. Well, first off, THANK YOU to Brewer Quilting and Sewing!! This is gorgeous fabric and I would LOVE to get my hot little hands on it!!!

    What would I actually do to get it? Would you really make me do it? I would probably go outside my house and sing to my plants really loudly. Oh, wait, I already do that. I would probably be willing to give up Coke (the drink, not the powder) for TWO WEEKS!!! This is a huge sacrifice, but I would do it.
