I just wanted to let everyone know that the new $1,000 Fabric.com Giveaway is well underway. However, there was a problem with the “Tell Us What You'd Make With This” option to enter with a comment on the page. Unfortunately, only a small portion of the comments that readers wrote actually made it to the site. If you entered the contest this way, you will have to re-do your entry. Don't worry, it's free and I've updated the fabric selection to make it a bit more interesting.
We received a lot of positive feedback, so you may have noticed that we moved our hosting to an even larger web host recently. The site is a lot faster, particularly at busy times like Sunday after the weekly newsletter goes out when many, many readers are on the site. However, in the process of moving to the new server, the plugin that scans our comments for spam got disconnected, so most reader comments simply didn't make it to the site. It's all fixed now and thanks to reader, Linda L., for pointing this out.
This actually applies to all reader comments on the site for all the other articles too, not just the contest comments –so if you left an important question but don't see it appear on the page, you may have to re-enter it. We're really sorry about this, but in complex systems, these sorts of things sometimes happen.
Good luck to everyone in the contest!
Kaffe fabric spiral shells- I would make a shopping tote and a snappy coin purse to go with it!
I would make a blouse for myself
I know it’s full summer, but I think I would like to make cheerful lap/snuggle quilts for winter. Maybe a table cover too!
I would make colorful pillows with that fabric.
I would make a beach tote and coverup with this fabric.
Beautiful fabric. I think I would use it in a quilt or make a cool shirt out of it.
I am confused about the tell us what you would make option. Are we to leave a comment in the reviews section of the listing or in the question and answer area. Also, does this mean that all the comments left on the prior piece of fabric are no longer valid?
Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome prize, and I love your website!
I saw an idea on Pinterest that won my heart over. Lap quilts for the elderly! A nice way to pay it forward!
I would love to make a bag out of this! Thanks for the give away!
I really hate to sound selfish, but I’m in desperate need of new clothes. I have the same shirts I’ve been wearing for 3 years now! lol I appreciate all opportunities for new material. Thank you for entering me!
I would like to use for costumes for our fashion shows.
I am relatively new to sewing and quilting, but completely addicted! I would have so much fun playing with all of this fabric!
I am having a new grandchild in the new year and would love to make him/her a unique baby quilt of it’s own from the winning fabrics.
Ooh la-la!! I would enjoy making bedding accessories for my guest bedroom with this fabric.
I would love to make a quilt or two or three! Hehehe
That beautiful fabric would look great on my bed as a quilt – Thanks for the chance to win it 🙂
Love Fabric.com. I’ve ordered from them before and have not been disappointed.
I would make a beautiful quilt
I would make baby items, bibs, blankets, burp cloths, for my coming soon bundle of joy. I would also coordinate nursery organizational items – changing pad, fabric storage bins, zipper storage pouches, etc. The ideas are endless. Beautiful. 🙂
I would love to make a beautiful quilt with these fabrics.
I would make some patchwork pillows.
I would love to make quilts ,bags, or whatever my family would like.
Pillows for sure and the scraps will find their way into a quilt someday!
It screams tote bag to me. A big, bright tote bag.
If you go through Raffle Copter – it wants an Amazon Account to answer – I don’t feel I should have to set up several accounts – Amazon, Instagram, Tweeter and whatever else is out there along with Facebook to enter a contest.
I could not comment on te site of fabcric.com, but i would love to make a summer short for me or a banded or tiered skirt for my daughter…
more fabric more fun quilting
I have more ideas then fabric and need to win to keep quilting. 🙂
I’d make tote bags and pencil cases for Operation Christmas Child.
If I win I would like to make a few quilts with my students to donate to veterans, a hospital, and/or the orphanage. Thanks.
Love it! Great ideas!
Love these fabric choices the ideas are endless! I always have a hard time in deciding I love to play with patterns and fabrics before deciding
I agree that $1000 is a lot of fabric. I would be thrilled with $250 worth of fabric. I will have to get a new sewing room. I would use this fabric in a quilt.
I mistakenly posted some of my completed quilts on social media (just a little bragging) and now I am overwhelmed with quilt requests! Surely this selection of fabric will help me to make all the quilts that have been requested.
I’m so pleased that these giveaways are finally open to Canadian fans! I love the Kaffe fabrics, having constructed beach bags for friends who love the colours and the ease of cleaning!
Oh gosh. Love this fabric. It would make a great tote bag liner or fabric headboard for someone braver and bolder than me!
Both my children are getting married next year so I will be making a Mother of the Groom dress and a Mother of Bride dress with my winnings and of course I will win.
i could make alot of foster quilts for abused childern from new born to young adults age.
I love the selection and the creative ideas.
Is this where we enter our response to the question, or on the Fabric.com site? Anyway, I like the new fabric too! It begs to be a bag, I think. :). Thank you for the chance to win!
I think I can’t wait to win my share!!!
