  1. I think they would
    be 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!

  3. 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!

    Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!
    Hugs!

  11. 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.

    Congratulations 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!

  12. Happy, happy - you lucky girl!

    How 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! (:
