May is here, so the countdown til we leave for the Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City has begun!
We leave Monday week - eekk! 10 days without my babies, 10 days of alone time with Mr FF not to mention fabric, fabric and more fabric!
I think the most exciting thing will be the Sample Spree night where us retailers get to grab (and by the sounds of things, GRAB is the correct word) fabrics not yet released to the market. This will be a great opportunity to get our hands on fat quarter packs to pass onto our customers, so you will be the first in Australia with the latest and greatest!
We will also be attending some informative classes by designers such as Valori Wells - how exciting is that? We will get a chance to meet and mingle with most of the well know fabric designers in the US! I will be sure to take lots of pics for you all.
In the meantime, in the countdown to our trip we have some great giveaways. First one up is a fat quarter pack of the gorgeous new organic fabric Pick A Bunch in the Orchid colourway (as shown above).
To enter simply follow our blog (see side box if you are not already a registered follower) and leave a comment below, letting us know what you would like to make with these gorgeous fabrics.
All winners will be drawn on our return from the US.

I would jazz up a plain black skirt with fancy pockets!
A beautiful winter patchwork skirt for Miss 1. Loving these colours.
At the moment I'm into fabric wallets and purses - so that's what I would make.
Some gorgeous fabric flowers to make into clips and hair ties!!! :-)
Ooo too many things to make from these gorgeous fabrics. Maybe a skirt for Miss 1.... or some ruffles......or dolls clothes......or just stop my thoughts now. :)
i am just starting on my long planned quilt as the weather has gone from monsoonal to chilly. its a queen sized bed and i want it reversible so these beautiful fabrics would come in very handy. cheers gayle
I have recently started my own little facebook buisness making children's clothing, dresses mainly, and I think this fabric would be perfect for some of my designs. Its gorgeous!
Love the fabrics. I can think of so many things that I could make with it.
I think I would make some cute little softies for my daughter and maybe a bit of dolly bedding...
Such beautiful material...think I would turn it into some patchwork skirts with matching headbands..
I think this fabric would make some gorgeous bibs for my daughter!
Have fun in the US.
I think that fabric would make a very pretty top and bloomers set for my beautiful baby girl.
A skirt for my little one - it would be gorgeous!
Would love to make my baby some new clothes and accessories! Something different to the department stores, adding to the stash is always an option too!!
These prints and colours would look awesome in my daughters newly decorated bedroom...I would turn them into scatter cushions for her bed!
I'm thinking a gorgeous summer dress for myself as I know I'll be another 30kgs lighter by this coming summer. I'd use the large flower print as accent or as the main boddice part of it, it would be a typical halter neck top.
I'd use the other fabrics for some head bands with matching purses for younger girls. I'm starting to make things to sell at market as well as to donate through my charity this Xmas.
I would love to make some funky bags with these fabrics!!!!
I think I'd make a little girl's patchwork skirt :-) Luckily I have nieces!
I'm following with Google Reader. I'd make a table runner. :)
My cousin has just had a baby girl, so maybe a cute cot quilt
I would make so many things: shoes, bibs, burp cloths, skirts, trousers. That fabric is gorgeous!
I'd love to make a dress for my nine month old, a wallet or bag and a book jacket from these gorgeous fabrics! Thanks for the great shop and blog!
a patchwork pillow. love the clours!
a patchwork pillow. yummy colours x
Oh my, this is gorgeous! I'd love to have it on show all the time so would make a handbag.
I think i would be selfish. A skirt for myself incorporating all the fabrics either in panels or as accents. Have fun at the fair.
I would love to make some beautiful patchwork cushions and a lovely bed runner for my bedroom as these are my favourite colours!
I'm thinking a cute winter coat for my daughter!
Ooooo! I think a lovely little skirt with a ruffle would be great in this fabric!
Have a great time at the fair - insanely jealous - LOVE LOVE Riley Blake!!
ohhh a new pram liner and nappy wallet!!! And quite possibly a new twirly skirt for Miss 8!! Or a new patchwork handbag for Miss 8!! The possibilities are ENDLESS!!
I'd love to make a new patchwork bag or skirt for myself or sister. How I wish I could afford to buy lovely fabric!
Patchwork dress for my little miss.
softies!! i think a pretty dolly with a matching blanket would look so darling!
Im only a beginner sewer but would love to some day be able to sew a quilt and clothes.
Hugs

The possibilities are endless. lol
I would make, my daughter some ruffle skirts, and myself some throw pillows.
I would make so many stuff! Maybe a quilt, bean bags and buttons. Also clothes for my dolls!
I'd make some gorgeous wall hangings for my bedroom. I don't think I'd be able to cut this gorgeous fabric up though!
So many ideas for these fabrics! I'm into making pin cushions at the moment and can imagine using some of these fabrics for them. Would be beautiful!
Hmmm the question is for me or for the girls....once again love it
Congratulations, jdlady51
You are now following Funky Fabrix
Can't believe I wasn't following you before!
If I won I would make a few bits to make my new house a home. I would have to put a lot of thoughts into it though!
new follower here,love these fabrics, oh the possibilities! after admiring them a great deal I would probably make something for my 2 daughters, cute hair bands for my 16 month old and cute little shoes for my 2 month old.
More twirly skirts! My girls can't stand the fact that they have to go in the wash every now and then so more fabric would mean more skirts and if I 'win' it then I wouldn't be breaking the "no more buying fabric until you use up the stash you already have" rule set by my husband ;)
Too funny! have just found this comp, three days after ordering these fabrics from you :) Well, would be great to win some more as I am using the fabrics in my new accessories range, and orders are coming in more regularly now, so will be sure to go through it quickly!
i think i would make some adorable tote bags, book covers and pencil rolls for my nieces and nephews
I would love to make a quilt for my niece Matilda who turns 2 in June. Matilda has Global Developmental Delay Syndrome and is not yet able to sit up on her own, she spends a lot of time on the floor. A quilt using these vibrant fabrix would give her a lovely area to play on and lots of lovely patterns to look at.
