I dream of fabrics and the joy they bring me. Even the ting craps as used with the grads to make crafts with a little fabris and glue.
In the past year I have become a quilter, so most of my fabrics go to quilts, but I am getting excited about trying smaller projects for gifts also, especially totes
I love to sew! I’m hoping to start work on my first quilt this summer.
Those fabrics are so beautiful. They could be used in so many spring projects.
I like the fat quarter pattern. The fat quarter has interested me for some time. I just didn’t know the formal name for what I have been doing all along. Thank you for all the “Great” projects you put on your site.
I like to make small projects like burp cloths and small quilts.
I would love to win!
As primarily a quilter I like to use fabric to make quilts! I also use it to make purses, totes and household items – potholders, aprons, pillowcases etc. I love fabric and anything that can be done with it.
A lap quilt
I love to use scraps, fat quarters to make doll clothes for my grandbabies.
Never can have to much fabric. I would love to win.
Fabrics can be used to ‘make’ a project or as an accessory to a project. Depends on my project and mood.
TRYING TO USE UP MY FAVORITES IN QUILTS….
I would definitely use it for a charity quilt. 99% of my stash goes for others. Thanks for doing this!
i love various projects. dresses for my granddaughters, making quilts, baby blankets, bibs, etc. i would love to win this
I don’t craft with fabric much anymore. However, I knit a handbag that I will be lining with silk. If I win this fabric, it will go to my mom, who loves to quilt!
I liked everything so I can win!! Love to sew, knit, crochet and craft!
I love fabric. I think I have enough for a store lol BUT, then we never have enough. I stop in at my local stores and just have to LOOK. Then always walk out with something, I make clothes, doll clothes, quilts, and am teaching some of my grand girls to sew. Can always use more.
I make many a nursery quilts.
Use for lap quilts, dolls, doll clothing, furniture, etc. Love It.
I like to make small projects
I use fat quarters to make all kinds of bags-make up, sunglasses, sewing kit, project bags for crochet work, etc. They work great for making doll clothes & totes for doll accessories, doll house furnishings & doll quilts for my Granddaughters, I also use them to line the crocheted purses & bags I make, they work great to mix, making very pretty “patchwork” bags & linings. I’m making accessory bags for the girls to keep a brush, lip balm & small tissue pack inside their backpacks now.
I am a quilter. I think about fabric and patterns all day. Sometimes that interferes with my job…. If dinner could be made with fabric, I might cook more often!
I’m a seamstress and a crafter. I use fat quarters in making purses, doll dress’s stuffed animals, even piecing them together for clothing and quilting or making a cushion. There is an unmesurable amount of ways to fabrics and I love trying them all…
I like to make home decorating things.
I like both webpages very much, especially the Jimmy Beans wool because it reminds me of
a color wheel for fabrics. I use fabric in my quilting and my sewing, which I enjoy very much.

Ive been making vibrant little purses with leather and fabric. I love machine embroidery as part of any project!
I Like to make stuff and give it away.
I am addicted to fabric. It is like being in a candy store. I can’t get enough. I love to quilt. The best part of a project is picking out the fabric and deciding how you will put it to use.
I quilt, so I use a LOT of fabric, but I also knit, crochet, weave and just general crafts so I am always making something.
I make quilts, dresses, I also like to crochet.
I am building a collection and I am also use them to make AG doll clothes. I hope to one day make a quilt.
I am always excited to see new fabrics and patterns and cannot wait to use them for a project. I always envision the project when I see the fabric, just as if the fabric was speaking to me and telling me which project would be best for its use.
I use fabrics for everything I see on Pinterest! I normally use it to do bags and baby stuff 🙂
I mostly scrapbook but I love using fabric on my layouts
I use fabric to make lovey’s (security blankets) & crochet around the fabric, we use it on smash books, pillows and so much more! I’ve been adventuring in sewing both blankets & clothing oh and an occasional stuffy or tote bag for family & friends 🙂
As a new sewer I use leftover fabric to try new small projects for my kids and nephews
I use fabric to make charity quilts, clothes, soft toys…a variety of things really – even decorate and redo furniture. Right now I’m making a Veteran’s quilt in red, white and blue with a touch of gold, then a couple of baby quilts. feels good to give back to the community.
I love creating quilts for cancer patients. Fun to have different fabrics and make different quilts.
I am starting a small business from my home making bags and quilts Fabric is a lifestyle for me.
I use them in ATC’s and making quilts.
I enjoy many many forms of sewing, from making very cute toy, quilts, textile art and mixed media work.
I give most of my items away to friends and family who would like them and donate items to animal charities to rase funds. With left over fabric and wadding, I make animal beds for the same animal charities, nothing goes to waist 🙂
Crafting and sewing is in my veins and I sew or read books of new methods of making and creating.
I am just starting to quilt and sew again
Not only do I make quilts i also use material to make message boards and for other odd crafts and my daughter and I go to the swap meet and sell them. Love that fabric!

I crochet handbags and line them with fabric, crochet pillows with fabric on the back, make pillow cases with crocheted edgings, and much more! This would be a dream come true!
