thank you
Oh fun. Organic fabric for baby items definitely -- bibs, loveys, blankets, clothes...
Wow Betz I would LOVE to win this, I have been so enjoying the fabric I bought from you earlier in the year.
If I won I think I would make clothing for myself -the thought of organic cotton next to your skin is a much nice one than ordinary old cotton.
Oh, I'm thinking summery sleeveless shirts for my daughter and myself.
Oh fun. Organic fabric for baby items definitely -- bibs, loveys, blankets, clothes...
those colors are lovely! I would use organic fabrics mostly for baby products as I have a 10 mo. old grandson and another grandchild on the way in August!

WOW! What a fabulous giveaway! If I won, I would be making up some accent pieces for my kitchen! I'm loving organic fabrics for home decor! CHEERS!
I would most like to make something for one of my sweet girls to wear using these bright and gorgeous prints!
Thanks for the chance to win, loads of fun! :)
Absolutely beautiful fabrics. I would make some type of bag, or maybe some summer curtains or an apron.
Nice! I would like to create animal shape pillows. I have two dachshunds (Odie and Picasso) at home and they are my inspiration ;)
Thanks for the giveaway.

I would use them to dress up this vintage, khaki wrap skirt I've had for a few years. It needs something "extra" and these patterns would be great!
Fantastic giveaway! The indian summer fabrics are my favourite out of all your ranges. I'm just starting out in quilting so would love to use them to make a picnic mat - ideal for the indian summer we are supposed to be looking forward to in the UK!
I would make a quilt to wrap myself, or one of my kids, up in.
Thanks!
Thank you for the giveaway! I would use organic fabrics for pillow covers for the bed, duvet covers/bed quilts, and definitely baby things.
oooh....baby items for sure....maybe some fabric balls or a nice doll....
I'd love to use these fabrics to make some cute bags!
jennifereladd at yahoo dot com
Beautiful prints! I think I would make some new pillow covers!
Peggy
quilt, quilt, quilt!
I think I'd have to make a quilt with them.. with some organic cotton batting.. How clean/green would that be!
SO excited. I love your prints!
I would most like to make clothes for myself, my daughter and nieces.
Danna
Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway. I would use the fabrics for some fantastic covers for my kitchen appliances!
If I won I would make a hat for my daughter, maybe some bibs for baby to be but I also think the fabric would look adorable on some old camp stools I have
I'd like to use organic fabrics for everything, of course, but right now I'd some cottony summer clothes for myself, since that's what I'm most short of right now!
sugareaterATgmailDOTcom
I'd most likely use organic cotton for myself, since I mostly sew for myself.
If I win, I will save your fabric for kids's clothes. I hope I do!!
I would like to use your fabrics for a fabulous summer purse. My fingers are crossed.
clothes for my children and homewares, who wouldn't want to look that those great fabrics all day!
Oh, I am so a quilt girl though definately not an expert! I think the next job on my project list is a skirt for me. Thanks for organising this great give-away!
Awesome, who doesn't like the wonderful fabric you make!?!
I'd probably use it to make some brooches or tea wallets or loyalty card wallets - the options are endless. :)
I'd use them for home decor. Lots of cutains, window treatments, pillows, etc. Pillows are the most likely candidates.
love! i would totally make a bag or some pillows!
I would love to make some clothing for myself with these great fabrics.....that way I could spread the word if I wore them out or to work.
I have been wanting to make an organic baby quilt for a while :)
I love making baby items from organic fabrics....they are all so beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!
The colors in the fabric are just screaming out summer time! I would just love to create something with it using crochet or knitting. I think it would make an adorable summer time top or maybe an eye catching table runner. Keep up the creativity!
ooohhh ... so pretty. I would be all over the home decor projects with your lovelies! I so hope you pick me :)
I would love to make a new set of placemats and napkins for Spring!
I'm tempted to answer that I'd love to make pillows for our sun porch but I have 2 new grandchildren so I'd probably make some wonderful baby clothes!
I second "Tish" above -- quilts, quilts, quilts ...
miss_sarah_e_brown (at) yahoo (dot) ca
What lovely colors you have in that collection at the top of this page! I would love to make a quilt out of some of your yummy organic fabric!
I'm remembering these reversible wraparound skirts with buttons that my mom made me when I was a kid...loved them...that's what I have in mind, but on my own sewing maching now!
What a fantastic idea! And a great way to spread the word and share lovely things. There is always something to do with such beautiful fabrics.
Teresa
Oh, pick me, pick me!
How lovely they would be!
A quilt, a bag, a jacket...
it would fill me with such glee!
I would most likely make either a baby quilt or a tote bag with these fabrics.
Clothes for my daughter, a baby gift, or a quilt. Beautiful fabric!
I would love to make my granddaughter a lovely hat and for me a tote bag....
Lovely fabrics..
I am loving all the earth day festivities, i would like to make reusable snack packs to carry healthy natural snack in for school and with any luck a tunic so i can carry the greatness of this fabric where ever i go.
Oh I love your prints there yummy! What a great giveaway too!
I think clothing for babies and children. Organic is certainly good for everything - keep 'em coming!
I'm looking for the perfect fabrics for a pair of floor cushions I'd like to make because my husband likes to sit on the floor.
Oh, all of the above! I don't think that its the finished product that determines whether or not the fabric used is ecofriendly, but rather the fact that I'm trying to make a difference. That said, I'd love to use big pieces of organic cotton to sew into flowy skirts or cute dresses for myself. I also think bags would be super fun to make from smaller pieces. Thanks for the great giveaway!
These would make a super cute bag.
Perhaps not very original, but I would make napkins because I love to set a nice table and I can never have too large of a collection of napkins!
What a great fabrics. I'd like to use it for my 2 y.o girl clothes.
Oh, I have been wanting to make a sun hat from an amy butler pattern. Or perhaps some fabric balls for indoor volleyball, etc. But of course these colors would look great in a fun beach bag as well. Oh, the choices...
I love to make baby items with organic fabrics!
Your fabric is so beautiful! Happy Earth Day! I am on a pillow kick and would love to make some from your fabric.
Thanks!
A beautiful shoulder bag for browsing antique shops and markets would be my vision for these beautiful fabrics. x
I am determined to make my first quilt this year. after my purse. and wallet. and sunglass holder. and cell phone holder. and apron.....
Happy Earth Day. I would do baby quilts.
I am knee deep in home improvements so I would use it for home decor!
Soooo pretty!
I've been knitting with organic yarn, but giving away the results...it would be exciting to sew something with organic fabric - for myself! :)
home decor would be my focus - pillows in my living room :)
animegirlie_at_g_mail_dot_com
I would love to have some of the material to make curtains and pillows for my craft room! The colors are so delicious, fun, and fresh, just perfect for a room that is designed to inspire creativity!
I'd use it for my quilting! I do all hand-sewing, so having sumptious organic cottons to hold while stitching makes a big difference!
Love these fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway. I'd definitely make some kids stuff, and I'm also thinking these colors would look great in my kitchen.
I'd probably make some baby items, like a fabric ball or other small toys!
I would probably use them for clothes or totes. (: Or possibly an apron. Happy Earth Day! :D
What a great giveaway! I'd likely use this for a cute patchwork bag.
Of course, I like organic fabrics for baby/toddler quilts and clothing, but the one project for me that requires organic fabric is pillow cases. I make a lot of them and the thought of laying my head on and inhaling formaldehyde and chemicals while sleeping is nightmarish (pun intended).
I would most like to use organic cotton for baby items.
I would make some gorgeous skirts for my little girls.
lovin' the indian summer collection patterns and colors! Sateen - yay! I think they would make lovely purse linings and organic lavender sachets with any extra fabric. Yay, Earth Day!
Your fabrics are so pretty! I'd make some sort of purse, probably quilted. Thanks for the beautiful give-a-way!
Your fabrics are so beautiful, I'd definitely make some interesting home goods with them!

Thanks for caring about the environment!
home decor,banners, little stuffed cutie pies!!
I would love to make a skirt with your fabrics. Looks so fun!
I would love to make some pillows or cover my corkboard for my designs area of my studio! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Your fabrics are beautiful!
I would say home decor, because my baby is now 13, and I'm so clueless when it comes to sewing. Your books have really been wonderful, and I'm no longer totally undone when I see a pillow, lol. Thanks! :) My hubby thinks you are great because I'm finally using the sewing machine I had to have 20 years ago!
Yeah! I love this give away ya all are having! I woud love to make beautiful reusable lunch bags w/ my fat quarters.
mollee

Awesome giveaway! I can't wait to click around and see the others too. I am expecting in August and can't wait to use some organic cottons on my little one to-be!
This is a fabulous giveaway! I love your Indian Summer fabrics. I'd use your organic fabrics for feminine,flirty and eco-friendly clothing for ME.
w/r,
Gloria
Awesome! I LOVE all of your prints and LOVE that they are eco-friendly! I'm thinking I would make a matching mother daughter outfit for sure and maybe a tie for the hubs, so we can all look great for our summer family photos. Thanks for the chance to win this very generous giveaway. I'm not a blogger, yet. Or I would definitely blog about your giveaway. Just a dedicated reader. ;-)

I love using organic products for baby items. They're so soft, and there are great patterns available. Thanks for the giveaway!!
oh my, I would be making quilts, baby products and kids clothing with these beautiful fabrics. The chemical element is always a concern for me.
Either a few bags OR some home decor items! Thanks for the chance!
this collection is beautiful. I can really see your fabrics being used for baby, there are not enough gender neutral and cheerful colours out there for babies and toddlers
Oh Happy Day. A wild wide ankle skirt.
Cloth napkins and place mats.
Sound awesome and the fabrics look great.
I think the organic fabrics would be lovely in a quilt. :)
I'm interested in organic fabric to make baby and kids clothing.
Thanks a lot!
I am thinking a tote made from this fabric would be great - save the earth - use reuseable totes,
Count me in. I'd probably make a home decor item or a new bag for myself.
muy lindos estampados!!!...y FEliz Dia!!!
Your fabrics are gorgeous! I would probably use organics mostly for babies and children.
Hugs,
Gina
I have never used organic cotton fabric before so I would love to win this giveaway and give it a try! I'm thinking of making bags and pouches with them and maybe coasters?the fabric design are all so beautiful.
Ooh! I'm so excited to go check out the other shops, too. I definitely want to learn to sew, to make little things for myself to wear. I rarely find such awesome and inspiring prints at the store. But I would also love to make some matching things for my best friend's newborn baby girl. I want to make her everything!
I write a wedding blog and am making a conscious effort to make my wedding eco-friendly and trying to reduce our carbon footprint.
P.S. I love this giveaway!!
AZinAugust[at]gmail[dot]com
beautiful- please count me in!
I love to use it for my daughter!
Organic cotton, a must for projects for my grandchildren and anything for babies. Let's not pollute the next generation!
I would make grocery bags out of them. I can never have enough you know and they'd be so stylish in these fabrics. Thanks.
being pregnant I would love to make cute baby things. Thanks for the great giveaway, and Happy Earth Day!
I would love to use these gorgeous fabrics for baby #3! :)
I would love to make a quilt! Love the fabric.
They are beautiful. I see some cute tote bags or a bag of some type. But they are so lovely that a quilt would be fabulous too.
These are beautiful! I like to use organics for baby things, but every now and then I like to treat myself.
If I won, I'd be adding these beautiful fabrics in my recycled military uniform bag designs.
I love your organic fabrics. I would SO love to put these to use on things for my children. Happy earth day.
I'd like to use organic cotton for everything I make. I'd use your Indian Summer collection in a lovely baby quilt!
Organic fabrics seem to have such a nice feel and quality to them - I'd love to make a skirt and sundress for myself from them!
Oh my. Um..a purse, a baby blanket, hats, baby shoes, little girl skirt or dress, pillow cases, fabric birds...anything a beautifully folded piece of fabric can dream up. Something worthy, something lasting, something you can show the world, something useful and soft. Please come to my home. I'll use you. Wisely. :)
I make teapot and mug cozies, admittedly the fabric I use hasn't been sustainable or organic to date (shame) but that is changing shortly! Some of these bright prints would look great in teapot cozies!
Thank you for the giveaway...I would love to make some fun pillows for my window seat. Beautiful fabrics!
Baby items *and* decor - some new covers for the big floor pillows in the Infant Room in our small child care program. Good for the babies, and sweet on our eyes!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I'd love to use organic fabrics for baby items. My brother and his wife are having a baby this fall and it'd be great to have organic homemade baby items for them!
I love taking the pesticides out of crafting! Most of the fabric I would like to use for pillows (bright colored ones to go with our single colored bed -boring-) and the scraps I would save for a quilt.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Awesome! My son has sensitive skin, so I love making/buying him clothes with organic cotton.
I would make baby quilts with the fabric. Good point, Earty day should be the norm.
i love it! i think i would make a sipper pouch or maybe a few bibs for my brothers new baby!
This is so generous! I'd live to make me a skirt, then go to town making baby things. (I'm a sucker for simple baby dresses and pants in bright patterns.)
I would certainly use it for baby items. I'm sewing for a baby due August 5th :)
I would use organic fabrics for anything that spends a lot of time next to the skin -- so clothing for people of all ages and quilts. These are really lovely. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would most like to use organic fabrics for home decor and quilting. I'm glad to see that more organic options are appearing in the fabric world.
I would love to make something for myself with these gorgeous fabrics! A cute summer skirt, or maybe an apron :) Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
People love giveaways! Wow! I would love to win but wanted to let you know I am about to get heavy into felt. I purchased a felt loom and am embarking on a felt journey. Hoping to make alpaca felt. I made my own felt bag for Earth Day. I sure do love working with felt. Thanks for the inspiration.
I would make a make up brush bag & some little pillows for my face.
I would love to make a skirt!
Baby items? Home decor? Clothing for myself? Yes, yes and yes!!! I love the idea of using organic cottons.
I would totally make myself some flirty but work-appropriate skirts. I want to show the world how chic it is to go organic!
Peace,
Melanie
With 7 girls there's always some sort of a sewing project going on at our house. I'd use the fabric to make some peasant style dresses for my 6 month old.
Oh how wonderful! I would make a bag or maybe a tunic for myself. Anything would look fabulous and fun with those fabrics!
So bright and colourful and lovely!
supernerdetteAThotmailDOTcom
I would love to make more purses, tote bags and handbags. I love the rich, intense colors of your fabrics.
I am a quilter who would love to go organic and show it with a nice springy quilt using those lusciuos colors!! I don't buy much fabric as I've saved so much from old projects, but would love to start using your color range as my keepers tend to be browns and greens. Those oranges and purples just POP!
Thanks for the opportunity to share!
Polly
Beautiful fabrics. I love the colors. I'd make great little bags to use for my kids lunches and some clothes for my friend's little girl and maybe even some extra wonderful dog collars for our pooches and...
I am not 100% sure what I would make. I have never used organic material before. I would though try to make me something with it. I like to make a few things for me.
What gorgeous fabrics. I would love to make pretty bags and headbands for my friends!
What could be better than ethical, organic purses and bags?
I really love home decor and your fabric collection will be perfect for my bookbinding projects.
I can see myself using your beautiful fabric for home decor. The colors would work well in my home! Fingers crossed that I win!
Meriam
Definitely something for the kids, they fit perfectly for my project. Thanks for sharing with us your ideas.
Thank you for this opportunity. After staring intently at your beautiful fabric, I thought a "Mother Earth" raggedy doll would love a dress from these! A little green organic yarn hair could top it off!
OOh so many choices. but definitely a dress for my daughter and maybe coordinating shorts for my son.
Definitely some home decor kind of stuff - maybe my first little quilt?
The flowery fabric I would use for a skirt. Part of the other for a mini quilt and left-overs for fabric baskets.
Great giveaway! Beautiful fabrics! Please count me in! I would love to make quilts for kids.
First I would just drool over the fabric and then I would make pillow cases with crocheted edgings. Beautiful!
I'd love to enter if only because I never seem to be able to find much lovely fabric where I live.
Thanks!
Hi Betz,
I read your blog every day, but am embarrassed to say that I have never left you a comment.
I love your organic cotton prints and would like to make some quilted tote bags or handbags with them.
Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Bonnie
OMG! With such rich deep colors I would have to go to my roots and make a fab article of clothing to sport all summer long!!!!1
Happy earth day!
I'd most like to wrap my wee ones in beautiful organic fabric. They and the earth deserve only the very best and gentlest

la chio de cordoba argentina
I would love to do some totes for myself please!
mystica123athotmaildotcom
I would love to use organic cotton in home. Some really comfy scatter cushions on the sofa. Yummy!
I would make a skirt for me and a romper for my little one. Oh....that would be sweet *dreams*
I would definitely make something for a friend's baby. She is due in July and will receive tons of presents from us.
I would love to wear a dress of this beautiful organic cottons. And of course one for my niece. :-)
First of all I have to say that all these fabrics are so lovely! I would probably use them for something practical -- like coin pouches or passport cases :) I'm sure they would look great in these colours!
Thank you for the chance! Happy Earth Day!
beautiful colors. I would like to use for Home Decor and pretty bags.
I like your blog very much.
greatings Ulrike
I love using organic cotton - and most of my sewing is for my kids!
The fabric is beautiful! I would make myself a summer bag. Thanks for the giveaway and happy earth day to all!
Beautiful AND organic fabric, what a wonderful treat! I would certainly made home decor, that way I could look at it all the time. Patchwork, pillows, everything. Bags! Clothing for myself. I would love to hand sew pockets and details using this lovely fabric.
What a fantastic giveaway, I've never used organic fabric before, even though I know I should. I think they would be fabulous for making into one of my bags....I'd love to design an eco range. thanks for the inspiration and fab prize.
Emma :D
hi there,
love your fabrics and your felty designs,
love organic fabric...and loving the giveaway!
what would i use organic fabric for? in an ideal world...EVERYTHING!
happy earth day!
Definetely baby items. I love a cute little skirt made of great fabric (and with a clean conscience).
I agree that earth day should be every day!!
I would make cushions for my daughter - she loves purple.
Teresa x
We're moving In July so I'd stash it till then and make some cute things for around our new place. Or i'd just piece it together and make myself a skirt.
Baby items!!!!I love the idea of using organic cottons.Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Wow, fantastic fabric. I am thinking it would be good to make some lovely cushions for my new house. Best wishes.
Thanks for that great giveaway! I guess I would try to include your fabric in some of my textile jewels, or perhaps use some as appliques on bags? Anyway, I suppose I would wait until I find the best project for it!
My first impulse (and, I bet, every mom's) is to say baby items. All the best for baby, of course. But then, I think the answer is really everything, at least for me, organic is less about what it does for the wearer, and more about what it does to the planet. Which, in the end, is still about making things better for baby.
Specifically, the lovely fabric you're giving away would make a great bag. Or I might re-upholster some seats.
Thanks for the chance, and for all the inspiring blog posts!
Thank you! It's so lovely! I'm thinking at least some of it would be lovely as a summery skirt
What a great giveaway! I would love to make myself something to wear with them or maybe something for my sisters baby when it arrives in summer!
Earth Day is going to hurt my wallet I can see it. Such wonderful designs, cant believe I have found you before now.
Lovely fabrics! I love them!!!!
sonia
Your fabric is gorgeous! I found you via Ink & Spindle. I would use it to make bunting and pillows for a child's room...and maybe some toys too.
elissa at iinet dot net dot au
Well I try to use organic, eco-friendly or repurposed fabric for all of the above. But seeing as I never seem to have the time to sew anything for myself, I would absolutely love to take time and make myself a skirt from your gorgeous fabric!
Happy Earth Day to you,
Happy Earth Day to you,
Happy Earth Day dear planet,
Happy Earth Day to you!
Do I have to choose? I think I'd love to use organic fabrics for clothing and home decor stuff!
Well, I have no babies so I can be selfish and say any organic material I get gets sewn into clothing for me - skirts and dresses mostly at the moment as I'm trying to get ready for summer!
What gorgeous fabrics, and what a brilliant idea!
I would incorporate those fabrics into a quilt, letting those colours shine big and bright when I'm curled inside the quilt on a cold grey day. :)
Ohhhhhhhhhhh...What a fabulous giveaway! I would love to win this great prize...Happy Earth Day
i love the idea of rejuvinating old found/handed down/thrifted/second-handed furniture with a fresh new organic fabric reupholstering - makes it all the more worthwhile for the environment. of course, i have yet to learn how to do this but that can happen, or i can pay someone else who is much more talented to do it for me!
thanks for the great giveaway opportunity
I would use this fabric in a lovely quilt with all organic materials used. I have recently joined the quilting/sewing world so this is so exciting!
Much as it would look beautiful in my home - I would have to choose me. There is nothing like the feel of organic cotton on your skin. Also - skin being the largest organ - why place pesticide laced fabric next to it.
Homewares I think! Something nice for the kitchen.
what a great way to celebrate earth day! fingers crossed...
I need some summer skirts and some really funky curtains
I love making clothing, bags, pillows, quilts, wall art, napkins...you name it and I love to make it.
Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth day!
I would use the fabrics for children's clothes and possibliy for home decor. Thank you for the opportunity :) !!!
I would love to make some cushions for our new apartment!
