IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration
Day 32
(who wants this to end? not me :)
I knew there would be a few of you lingering wanting to know what I was going to post today. I'm sure the folks at Brewer thought I was actually going to keep these "to die for" red silks.....but I'm not.
The Sew Red Silk Collection features 16 colors of dupioni silks (18 x 22) That is 4 yards of Dupioni Silk!!! Red no less.....good thing I'm a person of my word or these beauties would be made into a quilt for my bedroom.
This is the In and Out Sew Red Quilt Pattern by Blue Underground Studios. Oh I just dream of wrapping up in a Sew Red Silk Quilt. I can also see a beautiful jacket for the holidays.
Piecing the Sew Red Silk Collection and making one of these jackets would be gorgeous I think.
Brewer Quilting and Sewing Supplies was so very generous to join IHAN in the First Anniversary Celebration. I told them how much I love their Silk Dupioni and this what they sent for the celebration:
If you would like an opportunity to win this incredible box of Sew Red Dupioni Silk Collection you need to leave a comment on this post telling us what you will make if you win. Feel free to give us all the details....those are so much fun!!! This drawing will be announced along with the other winners from the IHAN 30 Days of Giveaways....so stay tuned!!! (hopefully today perhaps as late as tomorrow....I'm still counting folks :)
THANK YOU Brewer Quilting and Sewing!!!!
For all of you who are asking yourself, "what about the Gift Silk Collection, I didn't see that posted yet?" It is going to be in the Grand Prize!!!
Smiles,
Kelly
I would make a wall hanging with the beautiful silk and incorporate some embellishment.
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt for my mom. Red is her favorite color and maybe a beautiful silk quilt would persuade her to redo her quest/craft room (formerly MY room) into a more sophisticated look. (can you tell that I am NOT a fan of the decorating choices she made with what I still consider to be my room?)
ReplyDeleteWOW the celebration continues Kelly. This certainly has been fun following your month of activities and now even more giveaways. I would turn the red silk collection into a custom art quilt to show off the beauty of the fabric. I have some designs in mind that reflect an art nouveau influence that I think would work.
ReplyDeleteI'd make a quilt for me! I deserve it, don't I? Thanks again for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI would make the Keshly Jacket. It's gonna look great! Thanks for this great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is beautiful. I would make a jacket and do lots of stitching on it.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for such an awesome giveaway! I would love the red silk to make a quilt. I have no idea what pattern I would use - I would have to obssess over that for a while. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! If I win this I'm going to make a quilt of course! I"d LOVE this to make a quilt for Father's Day for my awsome Husband John. He's the best father ever, such an awsome father and stepfather to my two children.. we have four total! He deserves to be pampered a little, so I hope I win!

The silk is gorgeous! And I've always wanted to wear something made of silk dupioni ever since my wedding 15 years ago when I made flower girls dresses out of real silk, but my own dress (which I didn't make) was made of polyester silk dupioni like fabric. It didn't seem fair! So if I was brave enough, I'd make one of the jackets--the Kelsey one or something similar. If I wasn't brave enough to wear silk (I have a toddler after all), I'd do some sort of silk quilt--I find those fascinating! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow - I'm doing backflips! (feel free to post the happy dance video that all the IHAN followers are doing)
ReplyDeleteThe generator is probably going to draw my number for the Sapphire collection because of answering what I would DO to win it. Remember, you're my cohort - no one likes being a hort all by themselves!
But wouldn't this Red Silk collection add some ruby spark to my Sapphire jacket?
What, I am first? Surely not. Okay, I have been thinking about trying to make vest for myself. WOW, red silk would be AWESOME for that. Yes, I do have a wild side!
ReplyDeleteI would have to make a muslin one first because I would never waste a SCRAP of that luxurious Silk Dupioni. I am sure I would find a million other uses for this delightful silky goodness. I might even share with a friend!
Oooooooooh....... no words for how beautiful this is! That quilt looks really lovely but just imagine that in a jacket... It might just have to be a fantastic patchwork jacket with applique... Thanks for all these chances to win. What an amazing fab giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSILK!!!!! I love sik!!!!
ReplyDeleteanother fabulous giveaway! would love to give them to my 86 year old mom for her applique...she would make something amazing with it...(after I buy her some green to go with the red!)
ReplyDeletethanks for the fun this past month...
Oooooo...another chance for silk. I have thought a lot about silk, since you showed me its beauty, and I think that I would make quilted clothing. I have a jacket pattern I have designed that is tempting. But with four yards, I could make a dress, too. Yes, it would be different to use 24 fabrics, but why not. Silk is always beautiful! Actually, with four yards I might be able to squeeze out one for myself and my daughter. There is a great idea! Thanks for one more chance.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for either a daily or even (holding breath) the grand prize!
Wow Kelly, what beautiful shades of silk. I've never worked with silk before, and I am not a garment sewer, but I think this would make a fabulous top or long flowing skirt.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a quilt too! That's mostly what I make.How georgous!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I was just looking at these last week at my LQS. I want to make a quilt for my bedroom, but couldn't make up my mind which set to use! I would love to win these!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaways!

I have been dreaming about a big, red silk quilt for a while now. I would make one just for me (my first) with this fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brewer Quilting and Sewing!!! You have amazing fabric. I would love to make the In and Out Quilt pictured. It is absolutely beautiful. I have a friend who just moved into her first apartment and her favorite color is red, she would truly treasure this.
ReplyDeleteThank You,
Wendy B.
I think I would like to make one of those jackets, although which one, I don't know. Then I look at that quilt and I really want to make that, I can imagine how wonderful that would feel. Anyway, I'm sitting here sipping iced tea, not yelling at the computer. Eat more chocolate, it helps you count.
ReplyDeleteI would love this fantastically colored silk fabric. I'm thinking that Sarah Vedeler's hearts would grace this fabric beautifully. Thanks for the opportunity to win this luscious fabric!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - I think it would have to be a quilt or throw for my bed. My bedroom is beige with red accents.

Oh I LOVE the red silks. If I were so lucky to win, I'd make a quilt for my daughter's bedroom. She wants to move from purple hues to red. How perfect would this be?!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, if I won it I would use it for a crazy quilt. Been collecting fabric for one for a while and this would be the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd make a jacket and if I have enough left, a purse.
ReplyDeleteWhat could be bad about a silk quilt? I would have to try it!
ReplyDeleteHoley Moley! That is some gorgeous silks. At first I thought I would make my first silk quilt but I already changed my mind. I have a sofa with a sage green velvet slipcover. I think it would ROCK with some red silk pillows. I am on a pillow frenzy. I would also make a patchwork scarf...with beads! Wish I wasn't first to comment, I don't think first ever wins, (:
ReplyDeleteLove the silk collections, each is prettier than the next! I would love to make me A Little Something Jacket. Do you have the pattern? Sam
ReplyDeleteDarn! I just wrote a long comment and don't know where it went. Love love love those silks! I want to make some beeyooteefull pillows for my sofa, also a patchwork scarf, with beading.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. . . those might HAVE to go in a quilt, they're so very lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi and greetings from Australia, where it is 2am and I have just finished some work and couldn't resist another look at your website. I have a daughter getting married in November (on the beach!) and I would make a jacket to wear to the wedding. I think it would be stunning in the dupion silk. thanks for all the fun. Sam (Sandra) s.downes@murdoch.edu.au
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a beautiful table runner with these silks!
ReplyDeleteI would make the In and Out pattern that you showed. I can only imagine being able to wrap up in a silk quilt, it would have to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt for the foot of my bed ...and it would be beautiful!!! Thank you for all these opportunities to win!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I would love to win that and make a quilt. It would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteoooooooh aaaaaaaaah, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this silk! LOVE IT! I know just what I'd use it for A)bolster pillows for my reading room B)a fabric woven scarf for my wonderful mother in law C) a beautiful dress for my lil one's birthday and definitely incorporate any scraps left over into a quilt. OH PLEASE let me be the winner!!
ReplyDeletethekirkfamily4@gmail.com
These silks are stunning! Like you, I would have to have a quilt to wrap up in. However, the jacket is too beautiful & would make it so nice to show off these drop dead gorgeous silks. Do I have to make up my mind right now?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those silks are so beautiful. I have never made a quilt from silk. Is it strong? I think I would be tempted to make a quilt anyway, just because I know it feels so luxurious.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl, my mom had a satin quilt. It was a whole cloth quilt with the beautiful machine stitching in designs. I traced those designs with my fingers and loved that quilt to death. I used it for silking* as I sucked my thumb.
*http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/S/silking.html
needless to say, I wore it out.
What a generous gift. Thanks again for the beautiful party you hosted here at your blog.

Should "little ole me" win this one I will make a beautiful, for only me and my sweetheart, quilt just for our bedroom, which I will re-paint, re-decorate and re-invent to frame the beautiful silk quilt. I can't wait to win this one. I have plans and can't wait to get started. judyandmartyn@nc.rr.com
ReplyDeleteOh, PLEASE! I *have* to have this. *S*....I'm collecting this very silk to make a lovely silk quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting month+ this has been!
These are beuatiful reds! If I win I would live to make a jacket or a cowl top...this would drape wonderfully! Wouldn't this just be divine to work with?! Thank you for this fantastic gift.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful silk, gorgeous reds, wonderful drape...what more could a girl ask for? I would love to make a beautiful flowy draped top, like a cowl or awrap with peplum. Thank you so much for this fantastic gift!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Dupioni silk and I love red. I have been wanting to do an ocean quilt and this would make a great sunset sky.
ReplyDeleteWow - what beautiful fabrics! I think I would have made a quilt for our bed and redocorated the bedroom to go with the lovely colours :o)

ReplyDeleteOoooh- I'd love to win silks to jazz up some of my handbags.
ReplyDeleteI love the look and the feel of silk , and I would use it first of all to make a bag using my embellisher. I love all of the colours!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!

It's a cliche for silk, but I'm making me a scarf, a really big one, I'm patching it out of different colours and giving it a background in a patterned silk.... or in a nice grey woolen fabric... loving it already.

ReplyDeleteI can't stop dreaming about making a silk quilt for my bed!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started quilting a few years back I came across older book that featured an antique swedish quilt. It was like an oversized log-cabin design and it was gorgeous. I have never been able to shake that image away... :)
I love these silks they are beautiful. I think I would have to make some skirts or dresses for my girls.
ReplyDeleteAAAUGH! SILK! It's gorgeous! And I know exactly what I would do with it - make one of those beautiful quilts inspired from the book, "Quilts of Provence." Or maybe some Amish bars, with hand quilted feathers or Celtic braids. Something serenely rich and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWould I have to make anything? couldn't I just gaze, and play with it forever!?
ReplyDeleteBut seriously... something simple, paired with some other lovelies I think it make an awesome log cabin...
The colors are gorgeous! I would definitely be whipping up a scarf, flowers for embellishing, handbag oh boy this list could go on and on.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dupioni silk... thanks so much with continuing the giveaways. Hmmm, what would I make? well, certainly a nice bag or two for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!! What an amazing package!!! I would definitely be making a silk duster jacket. I would like to use the painstiks on it as well and make it an artsy piece. Thank you Brewer Quilting and Sewing and thank you IHAN.
ReplyDeleteOH boy would I love this box of silks!! I recently saw an interesting quilt pattern with a reverse appliqué--you 'cut out' the material to expose the fabric beneath it. I immediately thought of this fabric I have by Michael Miller--it's a black background with huge spider mums (like 10" mums) that have centers with light to jewel-toned pinks. Imagine cutting some of that fabric to expose the the beautiful texture and sight of the red silk collection--oh, it's making my stomach do flips! I have been saving that Miller fabric for almost a year, waiting for the perfect pattern. And then today you have the box of silks. Match made in heaven♥
ReplyDeleteGosh, I THINK that with the Sew Red Dupioni Silk Collection I would make a QUILT! Oooohhhh, it's beautiful! I can see it now....gorgeous, soft,red dupioni silk on MY bed! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I would make some very pretty things for my new grand daughter, who will be born in May. I can see a fancy comeing home from the hospital dress, a matching silk bonnet, and a little jacket to match. So soft, and so pretty for a baby girl.
ReplyDeletemmmm....with this I would be selfish and instead of donating a quilt to Childrens' Hospital Seattle (ok I might end up doing that in the end because a gift can be re-given...but go with me here) I would make something princessy (pinks and reds) and magical for my two little girls to play with, have picnics on, tell secrets under, play peekabo with and snuggle and read stories together. and 20 minutes later fight over who gets to take it to be that night!
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous! I will make a beautiful jacket and with the leftovers, I will make a wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing additional comments! I am at my library conference and have limited access to time and computers!
Well, sometimes being first works!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I would do with this silk collections would be to drink the the lush rich colors that define silk.
Then when I got my nerves quieted, I would design and make some "dress up" bags with the collection. All the girls in the family would get red silk for Christmas!
Wow. It is so scrumptious!
I would add this to my crazy quilt and also make a jacket, a scarf, a runner....Thank you so much for the chance.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the third time is the charm. My first two comments are living in limbo. I love those silks and my sage green sofa is crying for some red silk pillow action. I also want to make a silk patchwork scarf with some beading on it.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago I fell in love with a pattern of a quilt made in silk dupioni which was constructed with lots of mini-cushions attached to each other. It looked so nice and comfy on the picture. I had decided to buy some silk to make one but was put off by the price... So these box of red silk would be IDEAL!
ReplyDeleteI would make the In and Out Sew Red quilt. Love it! Big, huge Thanks to Brewer Quilting and Sewing and IHAN for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSorry you have such a daunting counting task ahead of you! These red silks are just as beautiful as the blue ones! I recently bought a pattern for a jacket with very "artsy" lines, and I think I would have to piece this silk together into a stunning red jacket!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I can SO see a Little Somethin' Jacket in the Sapphire Sea Silk Collection.....mmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteMy oh my they are beautiful, red is just so one of my favourite colours. Off the top of my head it would have to be something to wear, fabrics that lovely have to be seen by lots of people. Patchwork jacket, short swing style with loose sleeves
ReplyDeleteThese giveaways are unbelievable! I would make a quilt out of the silk. As far as what kind... not sure of the pattern, but I would mix it with other textured fabrics- minky, satin, embroidered fabric, velvet... Probably large squares with something appliqued on top with some embellishing.
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty doesn't even seem possible. The pictures make me want to reach out and touch some fabric!! I would love to curl up in a quilt made of silk after a lovely bath. those colors make me want to cut small rectangles and piece them all back together in a scrappy silk.
ReplyDeleteLove those silks! I would make a quilt, of course!
ReplyDeleteAnn
First to post a comment! Wow! I would make glorious, to die for, absolutely glorious to look at evening bags, with quilting, beading, and embroidery. Will have to twist my husband's arm to take me out, so I can show them off!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Sapphire Silk Collection. I would like to make a crazy quilt wall hanging seascape.
ReplyDeleteElaine
I love silks and those are some spectacular colors! If I was to win these I'd use them in crazy quilt projects because the shimmer of the silk really makes all those embellishments POP!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for all your hard work in these fantastic giveaways. It's been fun reading through all of your posts while learning about the 'item(s) of the day.' Thanks Kelly!
OHHHHH, Silks, how incredibly lovely!!! Couont me in, please:0

These silks are absolutely gorgeous! I would use them to make a quilt. I can just imagine how luxurious it would feel against my skin!
ReplyDeleteI'm the FIRST comment?! WOW.
ReplyDeleteI would make...something red! Red is my absolutely favorite color. Can't you see this sewn into a patchwork fabric for a jacket with some embellishments?! Classy!
I would love to win these silks! I would use them to make a table cloth for my table, that I could use for special occasions, the colors are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these silks! I would use them to make a patchwork tablecloth for the holidays. The colors are so vibrant, I guess it could be used year round!

ReplyDeleteI'd love to win today's giveway--red silks. I'm currently working on crazy quilt blocks, so would use some there and then share some too!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the box of Sew Red Dupioni Silk Collection, I would make my daughter a quilt, shes at university and is moving into her first house this September and I will be making her a quilt for her new home, to reminder her of our home :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I'm not sure of what I would make, but probably some type of clothing.
ReplyDeletewow I have never sewn a quilt with dupioni silk . I just joined your site and I am looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI would totally make an awesome quilt for my grandmother with this fabric. She'd LOVE it. She's 95 and spends quite a bit of time sitting in her chair underneath her quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabric! If won I would make a 1 maybe two large pillows for my own bed (well my hubby's and mine, that is) Just thinking about silk pillows makes me want to take a nap.
ReplyDeleteI just love the In and Out Red Quilt Pattern.:-) It looks so rich and Lush my fingers are just wanting to pat and stroke :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Jackets look wonderful too but the quilt is divine
Cheers
Lynne
The red silk collection would make a beautiful jacket. I have always wanted a silk jacket or pair of slacks as they seem so elegant.
ReplyDeleteBlue Underground has a bunch of clever patterns. I think that the Red Silk collection would look wonderful in Athena's Puzzle! Somehow I feel that classic yet modern design would look even more classic and modern in red silks. I'm not even a red person, but those are waaaaaaaaaaay cool! Sarah
ReplyDeleteThose red silks are gorgeous. I love the 'In and Out Sew Red Quilt Pattern' and would probably go with that since it is designed to use with the Sew Red collection -- that way there wouldn't be any wasting of that gorgeous, gorgeous fabric! Thank you Brewer and Kelly! You rock my socks!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that silk is stunning. I'm torn between putting it all on one glorious quilt, or wholecloth-quilting large sections to make beautifully simple bags!
ReplyDeleteAHHH!!! I have that jacket pattern..."A Little Something' Jacket".. I just need the perfect fabric to make it out of! Hmmmm. perhaps red silk?!
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt if I had one of these luscious silk bundles. I like that In and Out pattern, I think it would be perfect for me.
ReplyDeleteThese Silk package are just eye catching. Everytime I see the pictures, I have to scroll (again) throught your post and look at the fabulous colors!
ReplyDeleteOoops- I guess I meant to include my idea of a project for this silk collection: I am thinking gradual color wheel like wall hanging. Something that immediately catches your eye ( how can it not, the colors are just out of this world) and it would spruce up my living room. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteNow that I am retired, I need an elegant lounging robe so that I can look presentable if I have to answer the door, but can be infinitely comfortable while I'm spending my day sewing! These silks just might do the trick. They are certainly elegant enough. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt it would definitely be the In and Out Sew Red Quilt Pattern by Blue Underground Studios!! That looks amazing and I would get started on it right away!!
ReplyDeleteI would make my DD and her husband a quilt for their bedroom and surprise him when he comes home from Iraq (he is a firefighter there.) They bought a house and have not had time to decorate their bedroom so it would be a pleasant surprise for him. Oh yes, his wife would have plenty of input into the quilt. pamspinks.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIs this where we put a comment to win the silk? This looks so beautiful. I am a new quilter, so would probably use it for a quilt. (If I could get past my nervousness of cutting into it!)
ReplyDeleteThese silks are gorgeous!! I just love the feel of them.... I have used some of them in my Journey of A Quilter BOM quilt. Luscious!
ReplyDeleteI have a very close friend that LOVES red and I just know that she would love a quilt made from these wonderful red silks.... it would be amazing!!
Thank you for all the wonderful give aways..... and take your time counting, because I don't want you to miss my name :) :)

Wow this would be incredible to win! I would have to make a jacket out of this, I would think one with a cool mandarin collar! Thanks for the chance to win these great silks! Sharonj.
ReplyDeleteI just found this Site. What WOW silk's, The jacket would be great to make, but for me I would love to make lounging pj's.The Sapphire Sea silk Collection is to die for. Is the the Gift silk collection the Prize? Lol. thank you for this chance to win such rich fabic. And helping to celebrate Ihaveanotion anverary!
ReplyDeleteWow! All the colors are just amazing! How could someone not love them all?! Thank you and your sponsors for such a generous give away.
ReplyDeleteWith this I would make either a beautiful wall hanging, or an heirloom quilt. Something that would be stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love red and I love that Women's Heart Health has chosen Red for it's symbol. I also always wear red on Fridays to show support for our troops. I would love to use this red silk dupioni in a crazy quilt.
ReplyDeletechris_quilting@yahoo dot com
I love to wear reds-people say I look good in red--soooo First I'd make some new fabric by sewing together wonky strips of yummy red silks. Second, use my favorite vest pattern. Then embellish with hand embroidery, ribbon, buttons or whatever looks best. Sew it together and wear with pride :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this one IHAN and Brewer! I love the red silk quilt pattern by Blue Underground but I also have the Little Something jacket pattern on my table just waiting for the perfect fabric to show up. What I think I would really do though is to embroider tone on tone threads on the silk and then give it to my sister who loves red!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about me finding a use for them. They're going into the collection for my silk quilt I'll someday make for my bed. I'm surprised the ones they send aren't all water spotted -- I've drooled over their web site so often!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Wow, that in and out pattern is so beautiful! I think I would have to make that! I've never worked with silk but would welcome the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThese beautiful shades of colored silk remind me of Amish colors. I would try to make a Amish wall hanging.
ReplyDeletedefinately a jacket....Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteDefinately a jacket! Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI almost missed these, wow, they are gorgeous. I have never worked with silks. I would be tempted to make a quilt and some summer shirts with it.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I think I would make some purses with silk roses and leaves. The colors are so gorgeous and lush. I would love to create something beautiful with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance Kelly.
How on EARTH are we supposed to DECIDE what to do with such LUXURY??;) I can see a WRAP and/or head scarf and skirt! Of course when I win i'll probably just lie them on my tummy and stroke them like a newborn! A DREAM:)Ahhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteThanks for such Awesome giveaways!!
I am a quilter and love the look of silk in quilts so might use it to make a quilt but I also like to make purses/bags so it might go into a bag. Oh, the possibilities, maybe a jacket - wouldn't that be luxurious!
ReplyDeletedefinitely a jacket or skirt or something to wear. These reds are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have this vest pattern that I bought when I went to the sewing expo in Pullyup in March. It is called Venetian Vest by Brensan Studios. I having been looking for the perfect fabric and silk would be beautiful. The sample they had done up was made with oriental fabric and was to die for. They should have just let me buy the vest, I would have given it a good home with lots of love.
ReplyDeleteCosería colcha para la cama de dos plazas, celebrando nuestras bodas de plata.Gracias por compartirrrrrrrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteI'd make a quilt for my bedroom!
ReplyDeleteAnother prize--- thanks for leaving open -- the one day that I was ill and couldn't sign on -- My father had a saying when asked about his favorite color - any color as long as it is red. I would make a red quilt for my mother in memory of my father. Thank you. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteSilky pj shorts and cami! I have the cutest Burda pattern I have been wanting to sew, with nothing suitable in the stash. (and it would be the gift that would keep on giving - I'm sure hubby would be happy about it too!)
ReplyDeleteI"m not sure I can decide right away what to make. There are too many wonderful things that the fabric would be great for. Since I do have a longarm I would probably make a bed quilt. Thanks for all the giveaways.
ReplyDeleteDecisions, decisions. I guess I'd make a quilt, but if I was lucky enough to win it, and fondle it, I just might change my mind! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI would have to have more time to come up with the perfect use for those lovelies. Maybe living room drapes? Maybe table linens? Maybe a wall hanging? Maybe a quilt, or maybe something else? Beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful modern quilt! Yummy colors!
ReplyDeleteI have a beautiful pattern for a pleated/tucked quilt that I would love to make with those silks. Any of the colours would be so luscious to use in our room.
ReplyDeleteI would totally make a quilt. It would be so soft and luxurious!
ReplyDeleteWhen I posted yesterday it looked like I was first to post...but turns out i must have had something wrong with my computer cuz it did not get posted..
ReplyDeleteWhat I would like to do with this red silk is make a quilt for ME. I have a new sewing room with no decoration yet so I would like to make a "Darned Quilt" I took this class at Quilt University with Dena Crain and was it fabulous! To tell you a bit about it...Start with strips of curvy piecing with gradated fabrics. Now add some decorative stitches and trims to the piece. Now- hold on to your skirts girls...we cut out 2 identical shapes circles is how we started..flip flop the circles into the opposite hole and darn them back in place. I thoroughly enjoyed the class so now I want this new quilt done in beautiful silk with my favorite color red!
Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the silk collection or any morsel of silk! Right now I am luxuriating (is that a word?) in the silk that I'm using to make prom gowns! Silk crepe backed satin, silk shantung, silk habatoi linings....oooooo sooooo much silk!!! Did I mention that I loooovvve SILK!!! Bring on the silk! When I'm not making prom gowns or special ocassion dresses, I'm outfitting a doll in silks!
a silky hugz, Pam
Oh my, I forgot to say that I would make you a crazy patch silk something if I win...seriously! You deserve something made for you!
ReplyDeleteanother silky hugz, Pam
A wall hanging would probably be my choice. It would take me months, however, to move beyond the sensory joy of just having such beautiful textiles. A stash addition like that would last a long time...you would be compelled to use every tiny inch. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love silk, I love colors... what can I do with this??? so much things... just like that? I don't know! but I'm sure I will find some things...
ReplyDeleteI am probably too late to enter this, but I think I would have to just stack them up on a table and look at them until inspiration struck, or just keep them there to look at. They are gorgeous. \
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun upbeat blog....it is always fun to read.
What a fantastic giveaway! I would love to make a throw blanket to add some color to my living room!
ReplyDeleteshorthallie@gmail.com
I would make a wall hanging that would add some real punch to my otherwise boring, lifeless and dull beige living room. I can see it on the wall now. I'm thinking a nice red sunset or desert horizon would be just the pop (almost said poop, oops!!!) I need. Lots of free motion quilting with gold threads. It would be fantastic!!!!

Red isn't really my color, but it is my sister's favorite.
ReplyDeleteI think a silk quilt would be beautiful on her bed. The In & Out pattern is pretty, but I also like the Winding Ways pattern. I am not sure how easily I could sew curved seams on silk though. It is worth a try.
I would also use up the extra bits in the Christmas blocks for the swap I just signed up for. Wouldn't that be a fun thing to find in your swap block when it gets home?
THANK YOU Brewer Quilting & Sewing for being so generous with your fabrics! Thanks Kelly for setting this up!
