IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration
Day 24
It's A Wrap II
by Susan Breier
from Martingale and Company
I recently wrote a post about Susan's new book, It's A Wrap II. Guess what? Martingale and Company is giving one lucky IHAN blog reader a copy of Susan's new book. This is so exciting.
It's A Wrap II shows Susan's easy method of how to wrap clothesline with fabric to make bowls, as well as make exciting new shapes, handles, lids and totes. This book contains 20 new designs with excellent instructions and photos. This book goes beyond the basics, such as ideas on how to enhance fabrics with paint. Susan shows you how to make circle baskets, triangle baskets, square baskets, heart shaped baskets, and more. There are some cool ideas about embellishing these projects too.

If you would like to win It's A Wrap II just leave a comment on this post telling us what project you would make first if you were to win. I think I would make a bowl for my kitchen table using green fabrics. How about you?

Oooohhhh! I want to make that brown purse. It is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI would do a bowl, too.......probably greens since that seems to be my favorite color for decorating. (When I saw the title of this post..."It's a Wrap"....I thought you were deciding to wrap up the giveaway today instead of next week!!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a cute purse!
ReplyDeleteI would make the brown purse in shades of purple.

I'd make a bag~ I seem to be on a real handbag kick lately. ;-) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteHi, I would love to make one of the bags from this book! Thanks Sharonj.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great way to use up some of those not-so-great fabrics that have become dated or lost their appeal! I too think I would make something for my kitchen island, yellow/reds/greens. Your give-away month is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I LOVE these. The bags are my favorite but a nice big basket for my knitting would be cool to make also. Decisions, decisions.....
ReplyDeleteThat handbag is just beautiful.....I'd try and make that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win.
Happy Sewing
I would love to make one of the purses.
ReplyDeleteI think I would make a hanging basket and hang it by the mudroom door to put keys, mail, etc into.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Martingale and Company--and if you're not on their email list, get on it! they have some seriously great deals and send out an email to let you know!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I'd like a bowl similar to the green one--sort of rectangular or the watermelon one from the post you did last month.
Thanks for the 24th straight day of giveaway goodness!
Oh bowls for sure. Round bowls, oval bowls, triangle bowls! In Green, or brown or blue!
ReplyDeleteI think I would tried to make a basket in brown/beige.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I love those bowls pictured in your post!! I think it would be fun to try one of those first.... I love blues, greens and purples so you know those colors would be in there somewhere!
ReplyDeletethanks again for a great give away

I remember this technique years ago, but these designs are much more elegant! I would be making one of the bags/purses, I love the whole idea!
ReplyDeletehiya,
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this book! I am a self confessed purse whore (snarfy grin). I do make most of my own purses. I have the clothes line aready, just need some instructions (hint-hint)

I would make a summer purse from this book, or perhaps a bowl to decorate the guest bath.

I love making new and interesting projects and a bowl for the table would be great, out of green of course, my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try a purse.

Hi, I would love to be win any of your wonderful quilting items.
ReplyDeleteI would really really like to make the bag! thanks for another great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter asked for just the purse that is shown here. I had to tell her that I had no idea how to make one. Oh, if I won, then I could surprise her. I've always wondered how to do the wrapping the correct way.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that first bowl with an embellishment on the side.
ReplyDeleteI'd make a bag pls!
ReplyDeleteLove all the examples, especially the purple bowl. :-)
ReplyDeleteI would make two bags, because I know my daughter will want the first one! Thank you Martingale and Company.
ReplyDeleteI want to make bags! Thanks again for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really cool I would love a chance to win thank you. Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI think I would make the brown purse first
ReplyDeleteI think I would first try the little square flat bag.
ReplyDeleteI have done a tiny bit of this and find it fun.
If I win this clever book, "It's A Wrap II", I will make a sturdy tote for those heavy groceries that rip ordinary plastic bags and/or "eco"bags and handles. Then a bowl for Mom and Dad. My dad especially likes the homemade gifts.
ReplyDeleteI would start with the purse. I love it. Take care and God bless, Cory
ReplyDeleteI have the first book, its great so I am sure this one is super as well..
ReplyDeleteI would make a bowl/basket so many uses for those! Probably do it in earth tones :O)
HOW NEAT!
ReplyDeleteI'd sure like to make one of the heart baskets! Book sounds so interesting! THANKS for sharing,Love,Linda

I have seen several bowls made from the It's a Wrap book, but the Brown Purse is beautiful. I would love to make one like that using the It's a Wrap II.

I believe I would make a bowl for my husbands dresser in a pretty green, to catch his keys and not make so much noise as a metal tray does.
ReplyDeleteI have been drooling over this book since I first saw it when a friend and I were on a shop hop! I would make some large baskets for my sister and my mother.
ReplyDeleteDid I read something about a tote? I would love to make a tote.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to try this technique.
ReplyDeleteI think my first project would be a Halloween candy bowl. I have a bunch of Halloween fabric that needs to become something.
ReplyDeleteI actually made a simple small bowl using this technique but never knew I could make so much more. Think I'd have to try a purse- they look just too fun!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this looks like such fun! I love the first bowl (teal, rust, purple) - the shape really shouts out to me. However, if I were to win I would probably look for a smaller size. The last time we moved our key basket just gave up - too many moves, too many packers not being careful. After 16 years and nine moves, it was just too much for that little thing (sniffle). I'd love to try and remake it with the same color scheme.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Kiy
This is the best place...So glad i was sent here to enter..you're mahvelous dahling...love this stuff..:-) beckyben03
ReplyDeleteWow - the pictures look great! I think I would make a bag - I love to make them and this would be really different!
ReplyDeletePlease enter me!

I've wanted to try this technique for a long time - I think I would start with a fruit basket in bright colours. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy first project would be the taller vase shape for on my mantle! I think I would use black and white fabric.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful book - I'd love to make one of the baskets out of it!
ReplyDeleteI have made one project like this and it was really fun - would love to have the book to expand the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteOooo! I've wanted to try that technique. I would make a bunch of smallish bowls using pretty fabrics to put "stuff" in. Things like change, keys, etc, that just get tossed on various flat surfaces.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try that cute little brown purse!
ReplyDeleteI would like to make one of the covered bowls - they look so great.
ReplyDeleteI have been drooling over this book and would love to win it!! I would definately start with a bowl... one to set on my quilted runner on my table!!
ReplyDeletemybusyhands@gmail.com
OH! A tote bag would be perfect made with this technique.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great book! I wold love to win it and try my hands at some of those projects.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks like so much fun... would love to make the baskets.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't interested in the book until I saw the handbag...now that is COOL!!! That would be the first project I made, and several of them too!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the book, I'd want to make a basket in Purple and lime green for my table. Hugs Naomi
ReplyDeleteHi, I would first make a square basket for my magazines :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I have been reading so much about the 'It's a Wrap Books' on the Net and seeing all the projects. They are so great!! I would make the blue basket. It could double as a bread basket for my home-made rolls and also possibly for a wine basket. Fingers and toes crossed.
ReplyDeleteI would make little scrap baskets for the girls who are coming to our retreat...

What a fun thing you are doing -- the bowls look like great fun.
ReplyDeleteOH I love this!! I'd want to jump right in and make the footed bowl for my sewing studio. I'd keep little trinkets or perhaps selvedges in it! Thanks so much for having such a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI love that little brown bag in the photo!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I would love to be included in the AccuQuilt Go giveaway! Would be great on my elbow!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a second book, I was drawn to the purse because of the color scheme and because it's so textural. I can also see a reproduction scrappy basket for summer fruit or I'd like to try something different like a napkin holder. Neat prize, the book is now on my extra long "Want" list.
ReplyDeleteI loved what I saw in this second book and want to try some of the projects.
ReplyDeleteI think I would make a square basket....I have the first book and just love it!
ReplyDeleteOne of the bags would be first, probably the shoulder bag. After that, the oblong bowl, and then...
ReplyDeleteI would make a bowl in browns, blacks and whites and add a moose applique to match in my camper!
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by all of the bags, so I would make myself a bag.
ReplyDeleteMicki
I'll make a bag because I'm a bag-aholic!
ReplyDeleteI have a length of clothesline sitting on my sewing table for months already. I tried to look at some of the online tutorials but I'll bet this book is what I need. I like the look of the bowls, so would probably start with one of those.
ReplyDeleteI would definitly make the purse/bag. Love to know how with that book.
ReplyDeleteI would love, love, love to make a bowl for my table.
ReplyDeleteI love the organic-ness of the It's a Wrap creations. I imagine a great tote basket for wool roving, drop spindles and spinning tools, maybe a lid with lavender to chase away moths.
ReplyDeleteA great Day 24 ac"cord"ing to Kelly and Susan (and Martingale)!
I would love to make a large basket to hide my "clutter" - opps, did I say that?
ReplyDeleteI would make a catch all basket for next to my bed. I would use green and brown fabrics.
