I love the Hope Valley collection and together with one of the patterns from Denyse's new book, it'll make the perfect quilt for my queen bed (which so needs an update). Thanks for having such a wonderful giveaway!

[Ella]

I'd make a quilt, of course. Thank you for the chance to win such an amazing giveaway!

[Mary on Lake Pulaski]

It would be hard to describe EVERYTHING I would make if I won these goodies, but I would start by making the large single star pattern from the Modern Inspirations book using the Hope Valley fabric. What an awesome prize.

[Sally]

Oh, this lovely book! I just got the copy today for the public library where I work. Such lovelies. I'd like to make them all. Also, I love Hope Valley. I'd love to do an old fashioned Hope Valley scrap quilt, something simple like a nine-patch. My fave from the new book, though, is that "grellow" one pictured above.

[Charlotte]

I will make next year's Christmas presents with these gifts...maybe a throw for my mom and dad, a wall hanging for my brother and sister in law..the possibilities are endless!

[~Michelle~]

Gah! Head is spinning... I would love to bust out my FMF stash to make the flower chain pattern!

[PamD]

LOVE Denyse Schmidt's work. I want to use fabric from some of my daughter's favorite outfits and combine it with the Hope Valley fabric to create a unique, personalized quilt for my daughter to take with her to college this fall!

[jenna c.]

i would make my first quilt! i have drooled over denise's designs for too long. logic says to start with something more basic like "stacking the odds" - but i love triangles so much and the last design show in this post is stunning. wish i could be in ny for the party!

[Stéphanie]

I can't tell all the things that I would do with these! Being 7 months pregnant, I would probably make a quilt for the bed of my 2 years old, just to make sure she feels special when comes her little brother. :)

[Wendy]

I would love to make a quilt for our master bedroom.

[darci]

i'd make the proverbial quilt and put my name on it!!!
hope i win, i love the hope valley prints

[kate]

With a bundle of Denyse Schmidt fabric, I would go to town on a baby quilt or put some swatches to use on collage cards I make for friends & family.

[tracy_a]

Yay! Looking forward to this book. What I'd make with all these goodies? I think the ocean waves pattern is one of my favorites and would look great in hope valley.

[Shannon]

I would love to make a quilt, maybe for my bedroom. They are such beautiful designs and I would have a hard time choosing something!

[Josie Kate]

I had the awesome opportunity to have met Denyse at a workshop and I'm so insprired by her books, her fabrics and well, just her in general! I would love to make a quilt using both her fabrics and one of her designs :)

[Anna]

Oh, I wish I were in New York! I would love to use the fabric bundle to make a zigzag quilt for my daughter.

[KristyMN]

Wow, what a great giveaway! I would make an anniversary quilt for my bed - we are celebrating 10 years this summer! Fingers crossed I win!

[Kristi Shreenan]

If I am the lucky winner, I would first make a nice cup of tea w/honey and cuddle up with my new reading material. Then I would start dreaming about which fabrics to use for my favorite projects. I anticipate this will be a long and lovely dream filled with lots of indecision and mind changing....but I wouldn't mind that because I would be in the land of pattern and color. Thank you for such a fabulous opportunity!

[Jamie]

Wow, I wish I could be there! What an Incredible prize. I would probably make one of the quilts from her new book, or maybe even tackle making a single girl quilt. It sounds like it will be a wonderfulmev ending, I will be there in spirit.

[Regina]

I never know what I am going to make until the fabric sings to me - but of late I am trying to take at least a 5" square off all fabric I buy or win and make 4 patches for my charity comfort quilts. http://4patches4hope.blogspot.com/ - then the rest is mine to play with.

[Jamsby]

I'm in Seattle, so can't make the event, but would love the fabric!

[Holly]

If/when I quilt, I would love to make the top orange/magenta quilt. If I'm so lucky as to when this, it'll be part of my Mother's Day gift.

[Kathryn]

Thanks for the chance to win such fabulous prizes! I would make a wedding quilt for my son and his soon-to-be wife; maybe the Flower Chain pattern for them and Points Me for me (but I love the triangles above too).

[Alice]

The Ocean Waves quilt is absolutely stunning. I've been admiring it since you first posted pictures of it here. I would love to make it!

[Nicole]

A quilt, zippered pouches, cute things for my little girl. The list goes on and on!
