I think they would
ReplyDeletebe adorable stitched
together and used on
one side {or maybe, both?}
of a tote bag. Maybe the
kind with a ruffle or two?
Lucky you; couldn't have
been won by a more
deserving girl!
Happy New Year,
Michele....It's already off
to a wonderful start, with
your win!

Congrats! I was happy to see you won..well deserved, Amy is a sweetheart to the max and love her beautiful feminine style and have you ever seen such a whipper snapper who knows how to make things happen!
ReplyDeleteWishing you lifes best, Michelle in 2012!!
Congratulations on your win! I love that unfinshed chair in Amy's home. The bare bones are beautiful who cares if you can't sit on it. Being a seamstress I would probably make a lot of lavender sachets out of the fabric swatches. Combine them together to make a bigger piece and voile!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
Hugs!
Debra
Oooh! The possibilities are endless...a sham, lampshade, tote, skirt...congratulations on your win. Be sure to let us know what you decide to use them for. Hugs!

OMG turquoise bike, I dream of one! Hoping to move house soon, might happen this year or next, then I'm getting a bike like that! Love the other photos from Amy's blog too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for winning those lovely fabric samples! I like how they're displayed as art, lovely idea! I made lavender sachets and hearts for friends and customers from fabric samples I had collected over the year. Can't wait to see what you decide to do with them!
Happy new year, darling!
Meera xx
Happy, happy - you lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteHow about a long (and short) bolster pillow (with pure linen on one side) or recycle Rachel's brilliant idea? Whatever you decide will be lovely!
Good to be back! (:
oxox, Mon

ReplyDeleteand can you believe it's Amy's styling of the fabric/room with the naked chair not Rachel's!?!
genius!
