Well im #1! I would make a baby blanket! Thanks for the giveaway!
sonds good i love to win this so i can make some thing for my little one thanks
I would love to make a “mini” quilt for my daughter
I’ve bookmarked this–it looks like a fun site!
I can see using the scraps to make some toys, such as a playball with a different fabric on each panel. I could make potholders, patchwork an apron or make a patchwork ribbon blanket. So many scraps…so many ideas!
My e-mail is lufmikidz at aol dot com
I would use the fabric pieces in my girls new home ec class we’re having for this homeschool year. I can’t wait! We’re learning several stitches and using patterns to make everything from a small wall-hanging to a tote bag. I could also use it to start me a nice little quilt.
Thanks for this giveaway. Hope that I win it. I can be reached at 4bizkidz at bellsouth dot net.
I’d use it for crafts and scrapbooking. Depending on the fabrics i’d love to make a patchwork handbag
Great giveaway! I hope I’m the lucky winner.
I love fabric scraps - and three pounds! Good gravy I could make some stuff! I like to make fabric covered push pins, magnets, hair barrettes, and I make Diaper/Wiper pouches that I could probably use the fabrics for… depending on the size. They wouldn’t go to waste!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I think I would use them to make a new cover for my cats bed. I love her designs and fabric!
I’d make yo-yos to make a yo-yo throw for the back of my loveseat! Great giveaway idea, thanks for the opportunity to participate!
Ooooooooo! Wouldn’t those fabric bits be gorgeous in a mini art quilt or fabric collage! Pick me!
I would make loads of stuff. I think I would start out with a baby quilt and see what happened from there.
[...] Imagine the goodies you could make from that wealth of pretty bits. To enter the random drawing, comment on the blog post no later than 9:59 a.m. local time, Friday, August [...]
Wow….three pounds of fabric! I would love to win so I can make a scrappy tote bag. I love tote bags and want to make a fun looking one myself.
It would depend on the fabric, but I’d like to make some fun notebook covers.
I love to put appliques on my kids clothes-I”d probably do that and make a quilt. Thanks!!
I would make a fabric garland for my little boys room! (just got the idea this morning at the Craft zine blog!)
♥ Melissa~
I would use them to make bags — I am always collecting fabric in any shape or form!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have been wanting to start crazy quilting but living in a small town where fabric is not easy to get. This would be a great start to a new hobby. I have been doing cross stiching, embroidery and other needle crafts for years and it is time to start crazy quilting.
Ooh! Pick me! Pick me! I just finished a quilt and am looking for a new project. I love “scrap” quilts and other quilted projects.
I would make a happy quilt for my baby-to-be coming in mid-October. I can’t wait to see him wrapped up from the Fall chills in a homemade blanket.
I would love to piece fabric together to make a great bag!
Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway!
mindysaid (at) gmail (dot) com
Three pounds? Wow, I could do a lot with that! I can use them to make embellishments for my daughter’s clothing, barettes, etc. I can make a quilt, use them to make patches and other cutesy things. I also love art, so I could make some really cool art, as well! Great giveaway! Thanks!
Well…. I would probably give it to my mom because she loves to sew baby quilts and give them to the local women’s shelter and NICU at the hospital (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).
Doggerchiefs (dog neckerchiefs), Doggy Diapers that actually fit and are washable! scented coasters, Christmas gift bags.
I might keep some for myself though to do those fun little crafty projects around the home… My daughters lampshade could use a re-do.
~I’d also keep some scraps to cover gift boxes and mini albums.
Dang…. there are so many uses for fabric… make a toaster cover,
A table runner, Pillow covers, Fabric applique cards…
Cover coffee cans to make cute craft holders,
Great giveaway!
((hugs)) Mechelle
I would either give the fabric scraps to my boyfriend’s mother or ship them to my mom in Alaska (maybe split the fabric between the two) and hope that a quilt came back to me. tinawittmer(at)yahoo(dot)com
I’d use to it to make lots of things: perhaps in a quilt, definitely in a baby bib or two, also some baby shoes, a cute little bag, or maybe some barrettes.
I would give it to my mom, she quilts a bit and wants to do a small quilted wall hanging for a shelf in her room.
Three pounds! That’s alot of projects!
Mama needs a new patchwork wallet
The babies need more appliquéd onesies
Papa wants a new lap quilt
Etc etc etc, lol. I hope I win, This would be awesome!
oh wow!!!
We would try and make those fabric wallet I just read a tutorial on and also further our quilt making skills–my daughter and I.
Ruth M and Jessica M
I would send it to my mom to add to quilts (for my kids of course!)
OOOOooooo - I’m so glad I discovered your site! I just got a sewing machine TODAY, and I am going to learn how to quilt! Wow! What a start this would be!
Great contest! And I’m bookmarking you to come back and absorb as much as I can!
I’d also love to make some fabric wallets as well as some magnets..and maybe some hair doodads.
Well, I have never actually made a quilt and have always wanted to, so I think that this would be a good starting place!!
I’d make a quilt.
Purses! Purses! Purses! I have a “wish-list” of Loralie fabric that I want to make wristets with…so that’s what I would do with a 3# bag of fabric. Plus maybe a few coinbags to match!
They would definitely go towards a quilt. I really have been wanting to try to make one! They would also be put towards some x-mas presents!
I have a long list of Christmas gifts to make that all involve fabric in one way or another, so I’d most likely use as much of it as I could for key chains, pillowcases for the rice/heat bags, tote bags, table runner, placemats, apron…
It would be fun to see how many things I could make.
Project Linus quilts, those scraps would undoubtably be perfect! I makr to kid’s quilts each month and I’m always scrounging for bright, colorful, happy fabrics. What could be more perfect.
I’d probably make a quilt. But after I see the fabric, I may have inspiration to do something else!
mommyof3inva(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would make some gifts for family and friends…some heat bags, doll quilts, placemats and alot more.
I would use it in my scrapbooks!!!!!!
jenroberson42@yahoo.com
I would love to win the fabric. I want to make 2 kitty quilts for our cats. They love blankets so I want to make personalized ones for both of them
I would use them in some picnic quilts I’m collecting for. I’m hoping to have enough fabrics that there’s no duplicates used. thanks for the chance!
I would love to make a cosy picnic-quilt of some nice bags for my children.
A crazy cool quilted skirt.
a way to use these would be for toys for the kids who have nothing under the tree for christmas, ellen
OMG Look at all the posts and I just got this email
I’ve used her fabrics for check book covers and such items for purse accessories.
I NEED MORE SCRAPS!!!!!
And hopefully I’m post #50 and it’ll be lucky
Oh wow!!! I am almost embarassed to comment as to what I would do with Loralie’s fabrics. Everyone has talked about being generous with their winnings. Have to admit that the first thing that came to mind was a very fun and lightweight jacket for myself. It’s been a long time since I did something for just me. Forgive me all, but I would make that wonderful jacket!!
a big bag of scraps!! i would probably attempt some sort of quilt but might try for some doll clothes instead (every doll in my house is naked and needs some clothes LOL!). Thanks!

I love making totes - but I also think this prize would make a lovely patchwork skirt!
A wall hanging would be great
I have a really cute quilt pattern I’m dying to use!
I wanted to make a cute wallhanging with each of my friends favorite quotes written on each square!
I wanted to make a yo yo chain or quilt. Plus maybe some as flowers and gifts!
I have several of Loralie’s embroidery designs. They are great and so are her fabrics. I would really like to win this and make a jacket, etc.
famous Loralie fabric…..what about an apron? or other fun items to make and give away or keep for me!
I would love to use the fabric as appliques on casserole carriers and placemats or even on my granddaughter’s clothes! What fun it would be to open a 3 pound bag of Loralie fabric! Wow!
My Goodness! I just LOVE Loralie fabrics! :>) I would use them to make wristlets, wallets, purses, luggage tags and many other things for my gift giving for this year! WOW! Sure hope I can win!
I would use the scraps to make “ouch pouch” bags to give to the local hospital. These bags are similar to a shoulder bag only stuffed with polyester. They are given to women who are recovering from breast surgery/mastectomy to wear over their shoulder. The softness of the filling is comforting to the sensitive surgical area under their arms. This was a well received project of the American Sewing Guild this past year and it is hoped to be continued. The whimsical Loralie designs will be perfect for these “ouch pouches”!
I would like to make some homemade potholders, basket liner or something on that order. Thanks for having this giveaway!
What a fantastic giveaway!!!! With 3 lbs., I would love to add to it some of her embroidered designs and make a wonderful Crazy lap quilt for—–ME. Thanks!
YEAH! I want to try to make some blankets for Project Linus. My son got a blanket while in the children’s hospital and it was a gift from heaven!
I would start off by making a mini quilt for my daughter’s baby doll and then see where my imagination takes me!!! Thanks for the give-a-way!
mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca
I think the first thing that I would do with 3 pounds of Loralie scraps is just spend time looking at them and touching them. (I’m a bit of a fabric fanatic). But, eventually, I would relenent and use them to make book covers, book marks, softies, patchwork surgical caps, headbands and applique. And then, if there is anything left over, a lap quilt.
With all that material I could make some wonderful soft toys, books and gifts for my grandchildren, make more gifts for my friends and share some of the material with sewing friends who make a lot of things for charities. Sure would be exciting to win to see what beautiful fabric arrived at the door!
That sounds like the beginning of a crazy quiot with lots of embellishment.
More stash, it sounds great. The fabric will make a great quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
ME, ME, ME, this time it’s all about me! I love Loralie! I’m use all the fabric for ME. A great purse to start with, an art quilt totally embellished with stuff! Jewelry, fur, buttons, yarn, embellished just like Loralie is always embellished. and if there’s anything left, then I’ll make a little wall hanging for above my desk, so that I can look up and be instantly happy. ME, ME, ME, it’s all about me. Please, please, please, let it be all about me!
Loralie is sew cool! I could have sew much fun with the fabric. I love the blog and all the goodies that you give away. Thank you,
I sew for the youngest and oldest…make small preemie quilts and walker/wheelchair bags. Would love, love, love to win this contest!
I would love to win the bag of fabric as I have just learned to do applique and I would make things for my grand daughter. She loves me to sew for her. Thank you.
Wow! 3 pounds! I love Loralee Designs - especially the Doctor and Nurses. Being a nurse, I would make bags for my staff to give them on Nurses day next year. Extras would be used to make - what else - A quilt of course! I am sure that ANY creative person will do wonderful things with the fabric!
Wow, I would probably just go crazy and play with that fabric
as though it were piles of gold coins and I was an old miser
counting my loot. Seriously could like to do some patchwork
items such as tote bags with wallets and other little bags
for cosmetics. Would be fun.
I would love to make a tote bag for my Mom, in the nursing home, to hang on her walker. I know it would make everyone smile when they see it. I would also make a throw of yo-yo’s with contrasting colors as a lap cover. When ever you use such a happy design it makes you feel good in what ever you do with it. Thanks
Dang! It just started today and alread 61 comments. Sewfor less.com is really getting popular!
i would do some applique with the fabric.
Make a cute dog harness.
OOPS! Mistyped the “already” and left the y off in previous post.
First the Loralie Cats, now the scraps Great Fun!
Just bought a 30 acre farm. Think of all the fun projects I could do with this giveaway. Lap quilts, placemats. curtains the list goes on. My fingers are crossed.
I would like to win this, One thing I would make would be a quilt.
and I would also take a part of this over to the local nurseing home
Some of the ladies there would enjoy things like this very much.
and some would just smile and run their hand across a nice pattern
with a smile.
Thank you
joann wilson
Just took a class today at my local quilting shop called “Scrap Therapy”, and we learned all the neat projects that can be made with just cutting your scraps into 3 different sizes. Two new projects every month from king size quilts to small pot holders the projects are endless.
Next month (Sept) 3 week road trip with my husband in our motor home, boy all the cutting I could get done on the road and think of all the inspiration from the landscape from mountains to oceans
i would make pretty little Wall Quilts and donate them to the next Auction at our Quilt Show and proceeds go for a Good cause like PBS quilt shows.
Her fabric is sew cute! Placemats, napkins tablecloth would be cute too.
Scraps from Loralie are better than full yards from anyone else!
I would love to win the bag of fabric. I make scrap lap quilts for the ladies in nursing homes & 3 lbs of fabric would really help. It also would brighten their day which is the reason I do it.
Wow, I can’t believe there are 70 comments already! I guess I’m getting slow at this. Let’s see, I’ve heard of making skirts with fat quarters. And baby clothes don’t take much fabric. Of course, I could make a quilt.
Purses and wallets and checkbook covers Oh My!
I didn’t even know Loralie had fabrics. I just knew about the designs. I guess I’ll have to check them out.
If you picked me all the ladies in my “Scrap Therapy” class would be soooo jealous and of course I would have to tell them where I got such awesome fabric and I would have to tell the “Well sewforless.com where else”!!!!!!!!
One woman’s scraps…another woman’s treasure!
I’ve been wanting to make some baby toys. I wasn’t sure if I would make teddy bears, which I have a design for, or baby blocks with letters embroidered on them. I could make a book too. There were those cute designs in a contest before with the princess and the knight. I could buy those (because I didn’t win them) and write a story to go along with them.
I am always behind in what is in and have been hunting for some Loarlie fabric and resorted to the internet, but haven’t ordered it yet, I want to make my sister a quilt as she makes everyone else quilts and saves none for herself. Love the blog
Loralie’s scraps would be Marlene’s wraps. I would wrap myself in the fabrics and present them to all my frriends at our embroidery club so they could each have a scrap to play with. We may even have a contest on who could make the most interesting project from their scrap. There is nothing better than sharing Loralie’s fabrics with friends.
I love Loralie fabrics. I will have fun sewing with them!
Greetings. Linda
I just found the Lorlie designs and they would and will make a great wall hanging for my sewing room.
I love anything Loralie…pick me please
oh this would be wonderful to win. I have several of Loralie embroidery designs and I would use this material to complement the embroidery designs and turn them into a wonderful quilt.
thanks for the chance.
Kathy
Love all her things!
Wow… what fun that would b to get a suprise bag of material… I am traveling thru out the US and want material from all the states we visit so I can make a traveling quilt.. and that bag would b a perfect fit… surprise surprise all the way around… thanks for letting me comment
Renee
Well I love to embroider and make things, but if I won I would give it all to our church quilt making group. It is a group of ladies, mainly older ladies that get together once a week and have been making quilts. They are going to be making quilts for babies that are less fortunate, and sure from there the possiblities are endless. They have completed 1 quilt that will be auctioned off to be able to buy more supplies for more quilts.
Thanks for reading,
Staci
Scraps and colors, colors and more scraps! Would use them while teaching the grandkids to sew.
I would create a yo-yo project (a bed coverlet). The Loralie fabric loot would add lots of color variety.
I would probably try my hand at making another quilt.
The colorful Loralie fabrics would make great pieces for a crazy patch tote.
I think I would make a cute little table cover and cover a lamp shade to match.
I love the Loralie fabrics and what could I do with that? Believe me I would find lots to do with it.
i would donate to the local guild for our local charity project. We have a lot of families that have lost their jobs and homes due to the economy…it would help them and the children with some necessities.
The Loralie fabric bundle would make a beautiful, colorful quilt.
I have been wanting to make a few buntings for my boys playroom. Make it look a little more festive. Thanks!
What a person could do with that kind of fabric!
I would have some custom diapers and matching shirts made for my son
Hi
What fun - I love the designs. I would make birthday cards and BD gifts. How about a cute, darling Loralie table runner. Definately one of a kind. HeHe WAHOO
Wow 3 lbs of Loralie. I have 3 Loralie CDS. I would make some placements with the Loralie Teachers for my sister’s convent. Already made her a Loralie Teacher Quilt. Then I would make some placements with Loralie Cats and scraps since I have 2 beautiful Persian Cats. I could go on and on! Wow…it is so nice of you.
Kathy
i need scraps; would love to win this
I’m 79 and have 23 great grandkids and with all these I can think of a multitude of things to make,purses, place mats, quilts, trim tea towels, pot holders and I’m sure more stuff. Love Loralie designs. Beverley anderson
I would love to win these…sew many things I could do !
I like to do all kinds of things with scraps! One thing I’ve been meaning to do is make a large floor pillow for her to nap on, and it would be neat to make it with a quilt top!
the_other_alice_ (at) yahoo.com
I would decorate my entire kitchen and dining room with Loralie designs. I have two embroidery design packages that would work well with many of the fabrics.
I would use whatever kitty fabric to make beds, etc. for my two best friends, Paige and Patches.
I love Loralie’s stuff. So much fun and so happy. I would make lap quilts to give to people who are ill or face something difficult such as grief and loss, or the aftermath of an accident. They deserve to realize that you can remake something from the scraps of your life!
This fabric would be wonderful. I can think of Doll Dresses and aplique off the top of my head. Next would be fabric for my Granddaughter to learn to sew. She is 8 and just is learning to hand embordier.
Endless Ideas come to mind. Creative minds think alike. If I win I win everyday! Yeah!
Can always use more fabric to add to my stash for when I take a notion to sew something and not have to go to the store.
Ooh, I would love this! Scrap quilt and small blankets for kids hospitals or charity, patchwork purses, SO many possibilities!
My first reaction when I saw this terrific contest was that I would either make some walker carriers for ladies in a nursing home that my church helps out, or, maybe even use as a decor on tote bags, or both. I can envision using some of these designs being appliqued on those cute denim or canvas totes from Michael’s and making a bunch of these for the ladies of the nursing home. Last year at Christmas time, I embroidered 30 pillowcases for them and they were thrilled beyond words. Our church gifted approoximately 60 people in this home.
I’ve been wanting to make a disappearing nine patch (quilt)…might just be the ticket!
I love having a number of fabrics to make quilts or bags ….I never have enough fabrics on hand..
I love the Loralie items… they are easy to use and make a very attractive quilt or bag or picture….
I love your contest… Hopefully this time I will win….I am eager to see all the fabrics and get my creative side with many ideas…
I have just recently completed an alphabet baby quilt and have started on another one with a different design. I’m new to quilts. Have embroidered a lot of sweat shirts and pants, fleece throws, sheets, pillow cases, tote bags. Some of them have been appliques. I love to “craft” with my embroidery machine. Would really be nice to win.
A person who likes crafts, quilting and making many different things will always want and desire more fabrics… Love Loralie fabrics.
My husband loves working with me to do the quilts and bags and etc. and he helps me pick out fabrics… We both love this.. and would love to have more fabrics…Hope to win
I think I could make some really cute pillowcases for the kids in my life.
As the owner of 7 dogs and 5 cats (all inside ) I am always making bright patchwork toys and beds for them. Can’t think of anything more colourful than Loralie’s fabrics to use for them. Could even sneak a few choice pieces to one side to add to a quilt
Nice new bed cover for my dog and cat.
Oh,,,, waiting to see this large amount of fabrics will be hard to do…but I will try to be good… Sew for Less is my favorite website… and I enjoy your products.. and new ideas and designs…
We just bought a new table and chairs so I think a table runner and placemats? Though I do have several friends who either had or are having babies so a baby blanket is always a good thing to make!
My sister has fallen on hard times and she is now living in the Center for Empowerment (a type of homeless shelter). There are lots of women there and most have almost nothing to their names. I would combine the scraps with my fabric stash and make the center some napkins, aprons, pot holders. I would decorate some towels for their kitchen. I would also purchase some inexpensive t-shirts and use the scraps to decorate them so the ladies could have some cute and fun shirts to wear. There are endless things that I could use my new Bernina 730 to make for these gals! There are even some women at the shelter who can sew and they could help which would make them feel productive and useful! That is how I would use the 3 pounds of scraps!
Hoping to win in New Waverly, Texas just North of Houston and South of Huntsville!
I would like the scraps because next month I start a new quilting class ………….. wouldnt ‘it be fun to start with something that cool????
I’ve been experimenting with coasters lately (will be posting some on my etsy shop in the next few days), so that’s probably what I’d make!
Sounds like fun… I just LOVE scraps… I’d share them with my sewing friends, and see what we could all come up with….humm…………maybe a freindship quilt to donate to a worthy charity.
There are soooooooooo many wonderful things that a sewer/crafter can do with fabric scraps that it boggles the mind. With imagination, a scissors, glue, a sewing machine, needle and thread plus some inspiration the possibilities are endless. I’d love the chance to prove my point.
As an owner of 3 different Janome Embriodery machines, I am a great fan of LoraLei fabrics & embroidery cards. I have purchased many of her fabrics. Recently another nurse & myself did “On The Mend” quilt for a fundraiser. I look forward to possibly having 3 pounds of Loralei’s fabric. My imagination can just “sew wild”.
Scraps! I love fabric straps - I’ve been reading up on what you an do with small pieces of fabric and have been very inspired!
I have all kinds of material, but I do not have any Lorali!!! I would love to make some tote bags. I have been buying inexpensive tote bags and embellishing them with cute sayings and appliques. I have several Lorali design cds. Maybe I could embroider a fabric and use the Lorali fabric as a lining. Oh, the creative juices are flowing….
I can see a conga line of scrappy thread catchers!
I COULD MAKE ALOT OF THINGS I OWN ALOT OF HER DESIGNS, I WOULD MAKE MY SISTER A THROW FOR THE NEW HOUSE SHE IS BUILDING AND ALOT OF THINGS FOR ME. A GOLF TOWEL,A SWEATSHIRT JACKET,PILLOWS WOULD BE REALLY CUTE, I’D MAKE SEWING MACHINE COVERS FOR ALL 5 OF MY SEWING MACHINES WHAT FUN THAT I COULD HAVE. I HOPE I WIN THANK YOU BOBBIE SILL
I would make some wall quilts for the Church CHristmas bazaar and also for the old age home down the road.
I would love making cute aprons for Christmas gifts
I can imagine all the fun quilts i could make.
awesome Schmidt slippers for my Mom-in-law and myself
scripture bags for my sunday school class
a cute wallhanging for our newborns nursery in our new house
Many great things could be made for those scraps! Baby quilts, small items such as eye glass cases, aprons, etc. They are so colorful, I love them. Oh, and my birthday is 8/1.
Three pounds is a lot of scraps. Maybe i could put some in a quilt and some in matching pillow shams to go on my new bed
I’d use them to make hexagons for the grandmother’s flower garden quilt I’m working on.
rsgrandinetti(at)yahoo(dot)com
Cute aprons.
Oh to have the oppertunity to get my hands on some of the cutest fabrics out there would be heavenly. I would love it. Keep up the good blogs.
IF THERE ARE THE CHEFS MATERAL IN THERE I COULD MAKE MY KITCHEN CURTAINS AND TABLE CLOTH IF THERE IS ENOUGTH,I’V BEEN WHATING TO CHANGE FROM APPLES.THE CATS WOULD BE CUTE FOR A DRESS FOR MY LITTLEST GRANDDAUGHTER FOR SCHOOL. BAGS, THROWS FOR MY MOM AND SISTER-IN-LAW FOR CHRISTMAS. THE THINGS I COULD DO WITH 3# OF MATERAL THANK YOU BOBBIE SILL
If I had the Loralie fabric I would use it for appliques that I would put on walker bags for the local nursing home. The Loralie fabric and embroidery designs are so comical that I am sure that these would produce quite a few smiles.
what wonderful fabrics! We are expecting our first grand baby in December, so there would be a quilt for him, I could trim overalls and t shirts to make matching outfits, bias tape on washcloths, towels and burp cloths, If the pieces are large enough I could make a crib sheet, bibs, sun hats, the list is endless!!
thanks for having the contest!
OH Gosh…what couldn’t be done with it…the fabrics are wonderful!
3 pounds of fabric! Huzzah! This is wonderful! I’d spend hours and hours creating wonderful quilts…or aprons…or fabulous things for my friends and family!
dbstout{at}juno{dot}com
I would make my daughter a quilt for her bed. I grew up with quilts made by my grandmother and I would like for my daughter to have one made by me.
I would make a handbag And matching hat for starts.I like making quilted handbags and totes,with a little bling.
I made a quilt for my husband’s High School graduation gift. It is 25 years old and wearing thin, I think it is time to make our bed a new one. With the material pieces I will be able to accomplish it.
I’d give it to my mother in law. She is a tremendous quilter. With the caveat she does something for my kids. Thanks for the chance to win. Visit mine at http://www.mypreppypurse.blogspot.com
I want this
I love Loralie
I would make a quilt, the faberic’s are great! Some peices I would take over to the nurseing home, some of those ladies like to do a few things.and oh …goish I could make some new curtains and a couple of new throw’s I could give to some lady friends at the nurseing home.
of corse I could make myself a new throw. and maybe even redecorate my living room. It would be like Santa clause in Augest.
it would be wonderful to win this. Faberic’s are great !
thank you
joann wilson
I have been planning to make a Wallhanging. Will I be the lucky one?
Deepa
I do volunteer work for a non profit organazation called ” Newborns In Need” it can be found on the web….I make baby quilts. Our group gets together once a month and put together layettes and give to various orginazations for the sick and needy babies. We even make burial gowns for those little angles that don’t make it. We crochet hats, blankets, booties, sweaters and socks. We are the only chapter in Southern CA. and all the fabirc I get I have to pay for myself mostly so this be great if I should be able to win the fabric. Thank you for the chance to win it.
Jackie
Can’t believe I am 122.I would love to have the scraps. They would make a lot of different things, use for appliques for my baby quilts I make, put on jackets, make quilts and just about anything you would want to make. I could get started for Christmas Gifts if I was picked.
If I were the winner, I would start by sorting everything out and then letting the imagination run wild. blankets for the project linus and the childrens miracle network; then throws for the soldiers whom are injured and need a hug from home; with what is left I would then check around my home… a new throw for the living room; toss pillows for the sun room; decorated towels and potholders for the kitchen; nothing would go to waste.
If I won these scraps, I would put them where I put most of my fabric: into quilts for homeless families. I’ve delivered 239 in 11 years.
If I were the lucky winner of this fantastic bag of goodies,I would donate it to my group.We are working on a charity for women and children’s shelters.These scaps,could make bags for them full of things they need ,like toiletries,toys for the kids.We just fill them with things to help them feel better about the situation. Thanks!
I like to sew little goodies for my daughter. She’s only 2 so it doesn’t take much to make her a skirt even. That’s why I love the remnants bin!
I make angels for people in need & people in nursing homes. The scraps would be perfect for applique angels! Sure would help on expenses!
I would make a miniature doll quilt for my granddaughter. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Happy quilting!
I have this great scrap bag embroidery design. It takes 19 hoopings. I would start by making myself a great embroidered sewing scrapbag;o)
Elizabeth Keller, OH
My girlfriends all love my t-shirts with my Loralie designs embroidered on them. They comment every time I wear them. If I won the bag of fabric, I would make each of my friends a pillowcase from the fabric. I would probably (depending upon the size of the fabric pieces) make the body of the pillowcase from the fabric and add a solid white cuff with something embroidered on it to match the fabric. A little piece of lace in the joining seam and it would be done. Such a great gift for my girlfriends.
I am thinking of purses, pouches, bags and anything where I can add my tatting as embellishments.
I hope to do a wall hanging for my granddaughes new PINK bedroom. what fun

I have been using Loralie’s fabrics and designs for quite sometime and the fabric is wonderful so are the designs
I would love of them - I would make a crazy quilted purse and tote bag.
i have a group of 6 friends that I would like to use the Loralie scraps to make small handbags to give to them for Christmas.
I would add it to my stash!!! LOL
I would love to make give-away bags for friends to use instead of taking plastic bags from supermarkets. Might help to save a little bit of global warming.
I would make some placemats, trivets & coasters using the “It’s a Wrap” coil technique and then make some napkins and possibly other table accessories. I’m not sure how many sets three pounds of fabric would make but I would make as many as possible. Some of the coil pieces would be wound with the 1/2 inch scrap strips while others would be pieced. I would donate these items for the fall auction on Nov 8th that benefits our local Family Impact Center that provides food for folks in our Michigan area where tough economic times are creating an unprecedented need for help. Good luck with your decision. Blessings.
This would be a great win that I would use for my “love gifts”. The “love gifts” range from items made and donated to the Cancer Support Home for fundraisers and/or use by their patients (my sister is a 19 year survivor). I also make items and give them away for door prizes at the VA where I work for differnet kinds of fundraisers we have here. Thanks for this opportunity and congratulations to who does win as I know they will put it to good use.

I would make traveling accessories with it. A scrap catcher, sewing machine mat, a accessories holder. - What’s left? A valance for my sewing room window and sliding glass door. Who wouldn’t love all that Loralie material gazing back at you while you work!!!!
I’d make a quilt, bags, depending on the fabric print. I would lay it out and have an inspiration some to mind. That’s how I do most of my quilting.
I love scraps and I love loralei—–so I wold be a” kid in a candy store.” I’m not sure how I would use them , but it would be fun.
I love loralie anything…I’d use the fabric for gifts and maybe something for me too!
Wow, reading all the comments, sooooooooooooo many ideas. Hope I win
I am doing a lot of applique with my embroidery machine. I like to do satin edged and fringe edged. It is fun to match fabrics to designs.
I would love to make lap quilts and also a jacket out of these. They would be great for sweat shirts also. Thanks
Well, I’d love to make a quilt–or else con my sister into making something for me:)
I would love to make several quilted vest out of this material. Great for winter or even Christmas gifts.
There are so many things that you can do with 3 lbs of fabric.
I am a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, (this is an international organization) and we work on various programs and projects.
Depending on the size of the fabric pieces, I would be able to make:
1) lap robes for the vets
2) small quits for Operation Smile
3) child’s hospital gowns for Operation Smile
4) small wall hangings - to be used at our annual fund raiser for the raffle
These are just of few of the possible uses for this fabric.
I would be over joyed to win this bundle of fabric.
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I COULD MAKE WITH HER DESIGNS AND MATERAL, THEY WOULD MAKE NICE CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MY FAMILY THANK YOU BOBBIE SILL
Pieced baby and toddler clothes. They come out so adorable in coordinating quilting cottons! Thanks for the contest.
I think I would make a nightgown! All the designs are so fun!
A nightgown!
Definitely a quilt.
I would love to win the scraps. I am planning to make some tote/purses to donate to an organization that has a tea/auction each year. It raises money for scholarships. The organization is called the St. Charles Parish Women’s Club. I am not an official member, only a guest. I retired after teaching 33 years in St. Charles Parish.
What couldn’t I make with 3 pounds of scraps.
There are many things on my list of to-do’s, and these would help a lot.
I love all of Loralie fabrics and design!!!
.
I would use the scraps as backings (additional fabric) for finishing my cross stitch pieces.
thats a lot of fabric I could quilt for a long time
I also could make my puppy a quilr
I would burn the midnight oil and make more card’s and patchwork bag’s to sell on behalf of the Mc Millian Nurses.
Count me in, I have eighteen grandchildren to make quilts for.
My goal is to have a new quilt for each of my 18 grandchildren. It would be great to use this special fabric for one of them.
THREE LBS. of Loralie Fabric Scraps WOW what fun that would be to
have. Lets see I could make a purse, cell phone case, check book
cover, a really cute scrap couch quilt for this winter to curl up under
while watching tv and a pillow to rest my head on while watching tv.
Maybe even a wall hanging to make friends and family smile when visiting. Loralie fabric just makes me want to smile.
Maybe even some potholders and mug rugs for co-workers as a
Christmas present.
So many things are possible with 3 pounds of fabric! I would use some to teach my daughter to sew and some to make gifts for friends.
Oh my goodness .. . . yummy scraps. I am into making baby items lately, with little ones crawling around my feet. Birp Clothes, Diaper Covers (these have been difficult, but I refuse to give up), Diaper Pads, Bibs and I might try a baby quilt after I finish my sewing class. Loralie’s fabrics are so yummy. Thank you for a generous giveaway.
I’d really like to put together a patchwork quilt. I’ve always wanted one. I am, however, daunted by the fact that I have a king sized bed.
I have just begun learning to quilt and I know the fabric would come in handy. But the real reason I would like the fabric, is that I have an 11 year old niece and a 9 year old nephew. Last week I watched them while their Mother worked and taught them to sew. They each made a pillow using a sewing machine and hand sewing and did a great job! They are now bugging their mother to sew more and are working on a skirt and t shirt. This is a one parent household, so their money is limited. The possibilities of things to make would drive them nuts - let alone give them something to do this summer!
Three pounds of Loralie colorful scraps is three pounds of Christmas joy! This summer has been very difficult between worrying about my son who is serving overseas in the war, taking care of my elderly parents, and also getting a son ready for college. I am literally estatic at the thought of (finally) sitting down with three pounds of bright, BEAUTIFUL, delicious fabrics and adding a little color in the lives of those folks who serve overseas with several things that fill a care pkg (colorful, embroidered fabric cards, small pillows, drawstring bags to keep out sand, toiletry bags, etc), pillows for my kitties, and nice lap quilts for mom and dad.
Our guild is doing a service project of lap quilts for a nursing home. I would use the Loralie fabrics to help with these. The Loralie bundle would add lots of bright happy colors.
Oh my… with three pounds of scraps, I’d be making lots of things, from lap quilts to give as gifts to a smock with pockets for myself to wear while cleaning or crafting (big pockets to hold all my supplies close to hand), and would contribute blocks and/or whole quilts to our church’s quilting club, who make quilts for the homeless people of the DC/Baltimore corridor (not enough shelters to house them all, though area churches take turns opening their doors for a week at a time each and it gets very cold mid-winter.)
I almost always wear an apron while I’m in the kitchen. I like my handmade ones best. I would replace my old aprons (and add lots of color to the kitchen duty) with the beautiful Loralie fabrics.
The Loralie fabrics are fun to look at! They would make really cute pillow cases for my grand children.
Quilts, yeah!!!
Would love to make some placemats and napkins..I have already made aprons and tote bags with the Loralie designs.
Check book covers and eye glass cases might be cute
know of a really cute bag/purse pattern that I would love to make with these pieces of fabric. Thank you for the chance to win them.
I would love to make some pretty aprons.
Wow, what a great opportunity to win such a large amount of scrap fabric! There are so many things I could do with it all! Where do I start?
I would use it to cover scrapbook albums, make cute homemade gift bags, pocket tissue holders, adorable baby burp cloths and also a baby quilt-with all of that fabric, I believe it’s possible to make all of this stuff!
I hope that I win but even if I don’t, thank you for the chance to play! I can’t wait to see who the lucky person is! Good Luck Everyone!
I would make tote bags for my closest Red Hat friends and a wall hanging.
I have some of her designs, too cute.
Three POUNDS of fabric? What wouldn’t I do!
I just started quilting classes a few months ago and am loving this new hobby. I am in the middle of making a second quilt for a friend’s baby shower. I also have a collection of little girls’ dress patterns that I would like to get brave enough to put my hand to. I haven’t sewn clothing yet.
Placemats and potholders would be cute to match my Loralie kitchen apron!
These Loralie fabrics would be fun to use while hosting friends for a sew day! Each friend could work on a specific, quick to construct, item for the kitchen and then everyone swap at the end of the day to own your full set of useful kitchen items!
BOY what couldn’t I do with 3 pounds of fabric… much less Loralie’s fabrics!!!! I have a project where I am making pillow cases for a children’s cancer hospital, I also make several projects a year for my nephews Christian school… pencil toppers, sucker covers,goodie bags etc…., also make pet pillows for my local animal shelter, not to mention with the holidays coming I have a list of: aprons, table settings, pillow cases, bags for girls and women, and what nice fabric for applique projects….BOY my imagination is going crazy!!!
Not only will I quilt, I’ll LEARN to quilt. How’s that?!?
I’ve been desperately wanting to learn for a while, so this is a great reason to get started.
i would make some fabric bowls, Iam a homeschool mom and I would use it to teach other homeschoolers to different things with it I love fabric and I love Loralie fabric It is sooooooo cool
I love Lorelie’s fabrics!! I’ve already made a couple of wall hangings for myself and a friend out of her wonderful nurse fabric! I’d make placemats, napkins, bags for gifts and something for my nurse co-workers-I’m thinking stethescope covers. Maybe another quilt depending on what is left. The options are endless!! What a great give away. Thanks
I’d bring all my scraps to a planned quilters weekend
I would make some soft toys for my young nephew and soon to be boy of my own.
What a great give away. I love having endless supplies to make bags and cute applique as gifts for dear friends
Make some of those colorfull balls for babies.
That would be a nice win!
I would make quilt throws, mixing the three pounds of material and
jean material. I’d do two or three To send to our Service People in the Armied forces. The men and women would like them, because it would be a part of home.
Takes for the give away
Glenna
Well I’m a sewer and a quilter along with doing all sorts of crafts so I’m sure I would find something to do with them. I would probably just be in heaven for a bit. Maybe even roll around in them.
LOL
The eye catching bright colors in the Loralie fabrics would make great fussy-cut I.D. badges or chatelaines for our sewing group.
This Loralie fabric bundle would be great to use with friends at guild to sit and sew one of our community projects!
We have a new game we play at guild (it’s like bingo). We bring fat quarters as the prize for winning. The beautiful Loralie fabrics would be great for sharing with friends at guild!
I don’t have any Loralie fabrics, but as soon as I saw this, I knew right away what I would do! I am re-doing my sewing studio. I would make a new cover for my “double”. That is the first thing that I would do. I can’t think of anything that would more make me smile than to have her fabric as the cover for my “double”! Then, I would combine what is left to make covers for my sewing/embroidery machine and serger. I would use up the tiniest pieces to make pincusions. I would use every last tiny scrap of it! I would be totally self-centered and not share a bit. Of course, I don’t belong to any guilds or anything as I live out in the middle of nowhere and couldn’t if I wanted to! LOL
Chair cushions would be fun.
Oh my goodness! Three pounds of Loralie fabric would make a lot of cute & wonderful things for my four-year old granddaughter. A quilt would be the first thing, of course. Then, I can’t even begin to think of what I could do with it all. Hope I win.
I would love to make a quilt or a table runner!
What a fun giveaway–scraps are so fun!
a doll quilt for dd
solta(at)hotmaildotcom
I am going to attempt to start making a quilt and this would be perfect to get me started! Thank you for the generous giveaway!
This would be a true Blessing for me. We are raising our three grandchildren ages 7, 6, 4 they love it when I make them things. In September of 2007 I fell & broke my foot had to have surgery. I am just now getting out of a wheelchair because infection set in. I almost lost my leg. By the Grace of God it healed. Much to the surprise of my Doctor. Sorry to much information. LOL My husband is retired & I have tried to start Christmas. I am going to try to make lap Quilts for family that helped with the little ones & house work. My little ones have also asked for a quilt for their beds. I do tend to go on & on sorry. Anyway it would be wonderful to win.
God Bless,
Linda
Well a friend of mine is going through Chemo right now and a lap blanket, or a cute little quilted tote of Loralie would certainly cheer her up. Possibly both.
Marie
I would like to cover some cigar boxes I have been saving. I would fill them with candy and hand them out as stocking stuffers. Thanks for this fun giveaway!
I love the scrap giveaway idea so I would probably make some wall hangings or quilts for our church humanatarian projects to send to foreign countries or women’s shelters.
I would make some walker or wheel chair bags for my residents in a nursing home
I just thought of another great project, a quilt for a breast cancer patient or a child going through medical treatments.
Sue
I have a friend who showed me how to make cooling bands for the soldiers that they put around their heads or necks to keep cool. We could make lots of those and another idea would be to make a quilt for a cancer patient. Also our church group makes wall hangings and quilts for women’s shelters, orphanages, and the homeless. Those scraps could do a lot of good in lots of ways.
Thanks for sharing,
Sue
I would make a scrappy lap quilt for my little 93 yr old friend for whom I am a “friendly visitor” . I visit her in the nursing home once or twice a week and she loves nice bright colors. She also has a great sense of humor so I know she would enjoy this great fabric. I would use the flip and sew method so as much of the designs as possible would be visible. If I win there would be a very happy sweet little ladie who does not receive many treats………… Thank you for your consideration
OMG!!! Three pounds of fabric…I would make a patchwork jacket and matching totebag and purse to wear/carry. I could take all of these to my quilt guild/club meetings, quilt shows and Paducah. Then I would have to wear them into the American Sewing Machine store in St Charles to show Mike and his wonderful staff how much fun his contests are and what we can make with his Brother sewing machines!! Thanks for all of the fun
I have never entered a give away before. Maybe this will be lucky. I would make a baby quilt for a great-niece or nephew(we don’t know yet). After that, I’m sure I would get inspiration from the cloth and go from there
3 lbs. of Fabric scraps. Oh the dreaming has begun. What could’nt I make? Something for me this time. A really cool handbag that would make all my friends say Ohoooooo.
OMG - I would make a really cool lap quilt for me to use when I’m watching chick flicks on TV or DVDs!!! I’d be the envy of my quilt club!!!
I love free fabric and I would definitely make a quilt! Thanks for the nice giveaway.
:O] Sarah
I would make a scrappy wall hanging for my living room!
I could also make some unique cloth napkins. It’s been on my to-do list for a while now!
I will make a really pretty baby guilt.
A Loralie shower curtain would brighten up the bathroom! A curtain for the window and fabric trimmed towels would be cute, too!
Very good color mix. It catch eyes right away.
With these great fabrics I would make placemats for our Senior Center for them to use for their meals. The placemats would cheer-up the Seniors.
I would make quilts for the Prayers & Squares Ministry. And make myself a small quilt.
Think that great fabric would be great to make placemates for the Senior Center for their meals, to cheer-up the Seniors.
That fabric would be great to make quilts for the Prayers and Square Ministry.
Love her designs. In keeping with her off beat sense of style and humor, I would use the fabric to put together a totally wild jacket and matching purse. I would use some of her embroidery designs that coordinate with the fabric designs. I would also use some totally wild yarns and specialty threads to add some zing to the jacket. I would then make a one of a kind hat with feathers and fur to wear with the jacket and purse. In keeping with her style I would use bright and exciting colors (reds, purples, golds, magerntas and turquoise) to add punch to the whole ensemble. zaniness would prevail in my execution of my plan. If some of the cat fabrics were included in the mix, I would make a purse with a cat face embroidered on it and add a fake fur tail. the cat would have to have a bit of bling on his collar and fabulous chartreuse crystal eyes with glued on long fake eyelashes. The cat would be “A Cat with Pursonality and Style.” A cat Loralie would be proud of and a one of a kind ensemble I would wear with pride and strut my 64 year old stuff with style. Thank you for your consideration, Maureen
I’d make a baby blanket (or two)! Thanks for the chance.
Could use them for lots of patchwork items–handbag/room decor/and my daughter has been asking me for a blanket for her babies! thanks!
i would attempt to make a quilt for the first time ever!
I would make quilt and placemats for charity and a quilt for my family.
always crafting with fabric..love to win
3beez at bellsouth dot net
I think I’d put together several baby quilts for friends. What a fun giveaway!
I could start by making tote bags or purses for my quilting friends or I could make a wall hanging for my niece or I could use some in a lap quilt for myself. The ideals are endless.
I have never made a quilt before, but I have always wanted to… this would really help me out!
I make wall-hanging type creations that I would love to use these scraps for. I create a design on graph paper…usually inspired by music…and then make it come alive with the fabric.
I’d make 4 doll quilts for my 4 girlies!
I need new placemats and napkins for my table! People think these are so interesting when they visit;)
