Northcote Range by Cabbage and Roses for Moda - Fabric Giveaway

The people at Cabbage and Roses, an English fashion and housewares company, asked me if I would want to partner with them to do a giveaway of some fabric from their new quilting line Northcote Range for Moda. The collection is full of vintage florals in a soft palette with some stripes and solids, too. Who doesn't like pretty fabric? Right. I jumped at the chance.

Northcote

They sent me a yard of this green and cream floral and a fat quarter of a small red print. The colors reminded me of Christmas and with the holidays fast approaching, I thought it might be fun to make a stocking. I've had this idea percolating for awhile now and it was great to see it come together like I had it in my head.

Stocking

I added the green velvet ribbon from my stash to tie it all together. I'm pretty pleased with the end result and it was a quick, satisying project. I might just have to make a few more!

Now it's your turn...Cabbage and Roses are offering a bundle of fabrics (1 yard of a green floral, 1 yard of a matching green solid & 1 quarter yard of a green stripe) to one of my readers. Tell me what you would do with the fabrics if you win. I'll keep the comments open until Sunday, November 20th at 5:00 p.m. EST. I'll announce the winner next week.

You can learn more about Cabbage and Roses through their website, blog, facebook and twitter.

Enjoy the weekend.

Jan

I'd make a cushion with a nod to Christmas but something I could have out all year round.

Sue

What a great giveaway. I would make some bags to parcel gifts in.

Amanda

I see that fabric and I think of my mother-in-law. I think I'd make something for her. Perhaps a small lap blanket.

Joy

I would makea a little baby girl's Christmas dress. The whites would pop against all of the darker colors of the season.

Susan

I would make a sweet little apron!

Annalia

If I stay true to my latest obsession, I have to admit I'll probably make another dirndl for one of my daughters. I think I'd probably have to buy some of the red you used too (love it!).

Gwen Windham

Love your stocking-- it would look great on my "mantle" (don't really have a mantle, so we hang our stocking from the top of an antique book case that I inherited from my grandparents)! I have been thinking that I should make new stockings for our house-- just love to update my decorating every now and then.. There should be enough fabric to make stockings AND a tree skirt, I think-- especially if I add some of that beautiful red that you used! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!!!! :-)

Lorrie

I'd probably make a table runner for the dining room. What a great giveaway!

Jenny

wouldnt it makea great bunting forthe mantel? maybe on red binding? or neutral binding so it could stay up year round?
your stocking is darling

Andrea

I've just acquired a serger, so I think I would make an assortment of napkins to use over the Christmas holidays.

jana

I love the stocking! I would use the fabric to make some holiday outfits for my daughter's dolls.

Kimberly

I'd make placemats or a table runner. Thanks!

aNa

I'd make some a table runner for my buffet. My buffet is visible as you enter my front door and I use it as sort of a holiday display. For Halloween I used a black runner with pumpkins embroidered on it and then put my decorations on it. This would make a beautiful runner for my mahogony colored buffet!

Wylie

Beautiful, beautiful stocking. I need to make one for my new grandchild!

Jennifer

My first thought was making a girlie robot softie, because some people like both robots and flowers. Then I thought how much my son's girlfriend loves floral prints, but not robots, so maybe I could make a bag for her.

Carol H.

I would make a skirt for a little girl.

Mel

My plan this year is to forgo (forgoe?) all disposable wrapping, this fabric would look lovely as gift bags.

Andrea

I think I'd turn them into a Christmas tree skirt.

charlotte

I would make a doorstop for my daughters room

jennifer

i would make my two year old a dress with some matching pants! maybe add a sash or red to it all. : )

stef

I've recently completed my first quilt and my second quilt is a project that I'm keen to get started on, luckily my colours are green and red, so this fabric stash would complement it nicely!

Jessica

I need a cute table runner for Christmas!

victoria

I'd make stockings! Do you have a pattern for yours. It is gorgeous!

Alicia A.

Oooo... maybe a little runner for the dining table.

ktmade

Ooh ooh ooh, I have been dying to make my own pillowcases to go with my favorite bedspread. I love it, but my plain pillowcases always look so boring with it. I actually saw these fabrics before I knew you were hosting the giveaway and immediately thought "Pillowcases!!" I hope it's me! :)

Leslie R.

Why, I would turn it into a vintage/retro apron!

Allison

Make a wall hanging for my niece's room

Lisa

I would let my boys use them to sew teacher gifts--either reusable totes, aprons or napkins. Or...a tree skirt for our Christmas tree.

Cathy B

I'm making lap robes for the residents of my mother's nursing home. Green would be perfect for the holidays!

Julie

I want to make a Christmas Tree Skirt - these would be great!

Suzy McQ

Such beautiful fabric. I think I'd whip up some holiday themed placemats and napkins for a beautiful table!

Marcy

I woudl use them as a gift for my daughter who turns 11 Dec 1st - she informed me that she wants a "creative design corner" for her room - "complete with a sewing machine, please"? She has already designed a couple bags fro her friends for birthdays and such. I woudl love to see what she would dowith this!

SewLindaAnn

I want to copy you and do stockings. That ruffle is to die for and I love the the essence of that fabric line!

Stacy

Oh, that green floral is so beautiful. I'm not sure what I'd be able to come up with. I have many quilt patterns/projects floating around in my head that need some inspiration...this could do the trick!

Leila

What a fun giveaway! Green is definitely my favorite color so it might be tough to pick just one project to do from it. Probably a pillow would win out, since I feel extra into making pillows lately.

Kelly

I've just started quilting in the last year, so I would use the fabrics to make a throw-sized quilt. Napkins would be nice, too, though. Choosing what to do would be fun!

patyz

Maybe a table runner or some pillows. Love the fabric it´s so british!!!!!

Canela

I would make a Christmas tree skirt.

Gill

I would make a picnic quilt for next summer!

A cushion would be nice. I have recently seen a nice pattern with ruffles that would be adorable. [email protected]

Jennyroo

A fun and flirty apron would be great in these fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win!

Paula

I think I would add in a soft pink and make a baby girl quilt ... it's a very pretty line. Thank you for the giveaway!

Lindsey Z.

Make-Up bags for my sisters for birthdays in 2012.

Lisa Clarke

Greens are so hard to resist :-) I would probably make a reversible apron. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!

Bridget

It would have to be pillows for my son and future daughter-in-law's bed (being married January 1!) to go with the plain white comforter they've chosen.
