I whould make soft ball for my baby nephew
A table runner a few assorted gifts for family and Friends
I would make more table runners. I love to change them out all over my house and I am needing some new patterns. I use the fiberfill all of the time so that would go in the closet waiting for my next project. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
Stuffed animals for the local women’s shelter and some table toppers because I love them.
Ah the ideas are endless!! But I would definitely make one or more of those table runners in the book! Loved all the ideas for home made cleaning supplies. I never use swiffer products on my swiffer mop but use old wash clothes, Then I wash them and reuse! the work better and are recycling and cheaper!!
I have tons of “left-overs” just waiting to be used for some small projects. New books always inspire! Lately I’ve been thinking about making some pillows to use up some “orphan” blocks, and the fiberfill would be perfect for that. I’d also love to add the Coats & Clarks tin to my collection!
I would make some soft toys for my grand daughters Elle and Lyla. and get great ideas for some gift table runners.
I love history and would love to read the story about Coats and Clark. I don’t have any quilting books for table tops. These books would be a very nice addition to my sewing library. I would use the Poly-fil for to make toys for my new grandson(#6)!! My other grand-children don’t like the share the toys that Nanny made them. I like to stay occupied and crafts like these help me get through the winter months and summer evenings.
I am an avid quilter and a Linus Project member. Can always use sewing supplies for quilts and toys.
Love the antique look of the sewing box and book. Would prepare a special shelf, try out some new patterns, and stuff pincushions!!!
I have so many ideas! I love getting new things to work with. I want to try some quilting. Place mats with matching napkins, table runners, kindle covers etc……….
I would like to make some coasters and placemats. The stuffing would be used to stuff some toys.
I haven’t tried quilting, but would love to give it a try. These books look like they may have just the ideas I’ve been looking for. I love the colonial/antique style in decorating. I would certainly try my hand at one of the quilted table runners if I were to win this great prize package. If that didn’t turn out so well, I would definately make a throw pillow using the fiberfil. Thanks for this opportunity to win! 🙂
I would make a few small stuffed toys and a bib for my granddaughter who will be arriving in three weeks. I would love to make a table runner also. I am always looking for ways to organize my sewing room. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest.
I love all the sewing patterns and directions you give! I have a nearly 2 yoa great granddaughter and love using your ideas for dresses, etc from shirts and other recycling projects! Sewing for her now takes me back to when I used to make nearlyall the clothes for my own dgtrs and my granddaughter. I would probably use these supplies to make a pillow pet for my little Mazie!
I would start by perusing those books and see what tickles my fancy. I would definitely make a table runner or too, seems the consensus. I also need a new pin cushion. Finally, I really want to make some unique soft sculptures.
I would make a quilt for my grandchildren.
I like the table runner on the Top Your Table book cover, so I would make that or something from one of those books once I look through them.
I would make some soft toys for the babies in my life. The are so cute, and a great scrap buster.
First of all if I won-would be reading !LOL Then its a few table tops for family and friends !
Thanks for the chance to win !
WOW…If I were to win this gift bag there are so many things I could make. My husband loves turtles, so part of the polyfill would go to stuffing a turtle and the rest would go to make teddy bears for charity. The patterns would come in to use for my mother-in-law. Every year I make her a table runner. I’ve just about got one for every season/month so she doesn’t get tired of looking at them. The antique box is gorgeous and would decorate my sewing room. I could have such a good time with this bag of goodies.
I would make quilted pillows and donate them to a transitional housing in my city!!
Lots of inspiration for new projects! Being a grandmother, making items for the grandchildren are on the list. Saving money by making reusable cleaning tools is of interest. WOW! the ideas are limitless.
I’ve always wanted to try my hand at quilting, so the books would really inspire me. I think I’d like to have a summer sewing project with my granddaughters, and we could create some stuffed toys.The tin would be used for more sewing notions, and the thread would be put to good use on our sewing projects!
I have a lot of ideals. I am from a big family and have a lot of new great-nieces and nephews. I plan on making lap quilts for all of them for Christmas. This would help with the projects. So many projects, so little time.
Would make cute stuffed dolls for my granddaughter who’s having her 6th birthday next month and my other granddaughter who’s coming into the world next month!
I would make several christmas gifts. Probably for my grandchildren.
I’ve never tried to make a stuffed animal before, and I’d love to see how I do with it!
I make stuffed animals and pillows for my six granddaughters so I certainly could use the poly-fil. The quilting books would be a welcomed addition to my bookshelf for quick reference as I’m teaching myself to quilt.
A lumbar pillow for summer lounging!
Seriously, seamsandscissors has the very best tips for spring cleaning and organization I have ever seen. I can’t wait to get started on some of them! Thank you!
I love table runners! love the re purposed ties to hold scissors!
A baby quilt
New niece arriving this summer – I would make a Baby Blanket and a stuffed doll for her. Can’t wait for Riley (her name) to be here!
I wold make more stuffed toys for my 5 grandkids and finally learn how to quilt.
I would make more stuffed toys for our 5 grandkids and make quilts using the scraps of leftover fabric.
What a fun giveaway! I would make a Teddy Bear for my grandson!
I would make pot holders, table runners, lap quilts, throw quilts, baby gifts, and the ideas go on and on
I would turn the Coats and Clark tin into a sewing box with some cute stuffed pincushions made from the polyfil.
Thanks for the chance to win this great prize package!
Gail
Soft toys for the littlest grandkids! They love Memaw making them toys.
What I see here is an opportunity to introduce my 9 y.o. sewist daughter to quilting, a rewarding next step now that she has mastered straight seams!
I’d make a stuffed dinasour for my Neice Keira’s Birhday!
I would make table runners…..
I would make some place mats for kitchen table and some stuffed kittens for granddaughters.
Oh! Pincushions! Table runners! Anything quilted! Anything stuffed!
So many ideas come to mind. I’ve already made several Swiffer Duster refills this year, so maybe a few table runners are in order and a few pillows and some pincushions for my stitchin’ friends and ….. so many ideas.
Take Care ….. Sandy
I would love to make my grandson a quilt. I also love the ceiling fan duster idea, brilliant.
I just started paper piecing, could do this in a table runner, but my passion lately seems to be purses. I have never tried using stuffing in a purse, but I can picture that in a quilted handbag or tote.
I love the tutorials for things to clean with. Buying the dusters get to be expensive
I would make stuffed animals for the domestic violence shelter and tote bags for the women with personals in them.
I need new couch throw pillows but they are so expensive. This is a perfect way to make exactly what I want.
I would share the ideas in the quilt books with my granddaughter who is learning to sew! We would use the stuffing for the first stuffed animal that she sews. The sewing tin would be a great place to keep photos of her first sewing projects. What a fun prize combination! Thanks!
I would make some throw pillows for my grandchildren with the fiberfill and the thread. I would love to have the quilting books for new table toppers and quilt ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!!
Its time to try some stuffed boy toys such as cars and airplanes.
I’d make a little stuffed animal that fits inside the tin. Then I’d create a blanket and pillow for the creature. The tin would be a perfect home for this creation.
I would try my hand at freeform coverlet/blankie/throw
I would make a table runner and some kind of a stuffed animal for friends.
I like the stay-put kitchen towels and will make those. I’m already thinking about Christmas so the other supplies will be used to make a Christmas table runner and some decorations.
I would make a quilt wall hanging. With the fiberfill I would make some cute bears for the children at the local hospital. Have made close to 200 bears in the last two years for the children.
I would use the poly-fil to make a stuffed toy giraffe- as I have been searching patterns to make one. Then I would dive into those quilting books and find a fast easy table runner project that would match some of the thread in the Coats & Clark thread sampler pack.
thank you
My Son–In-Law Is Going To Germany The End Of June. My Daughter Will Be Joining Him With 3 Of My Grandkids. I’d Make Them A Wall Quilt That Could Be Framed That Says God Bless America.
finish my sock monkeys….need stuffing
definitely something for the FIRST GRAND BABY due in October!1
I would make something quilted out of each of the books, and possibly gift them to my quilting friends. would be wonderful to win. Thanks, Patty B
I use this stuffing when making Memory Bears for a children’s bereavement center. The families provide clothing from the deceased and I use it to custom create an 18″ sitting teddy bear that represents the departed in some manner. I usually add pockets and create a surprise to put inside such as a stuffed fish for a father who liked fishing or a stuffed hammer for one who was good with tools.
If I won these items, I’d use them to make a few matching pillows,
for the quilt I’m in the process of making, for my granddaughter.
That would be the best way to use up all the scraps I’ve been cutting away,
while making the quilt. Nothing will go to waste! Perfect . . . .
Love this sight , always have such great ideas. Love to win . Love to sew !
I am retiring in June and I plan on quilting, quilting and did I say quilting? And In my spare time I will probably quilt.
I would make stuffed animals to go with the quilts I make to donate to Binky Patrol!!!!
Ok, I would make one of everything! Actually, loving making quilts, I have three going on right now . . .would be nice to finish one!
Table runners and placemats. I’m ready for something new!
I’d use one of the table runner patterns (not so good for a round table) and try to make a cool tote bag out of it. Then I’d let my imagination run wild.
I love new books! I can always get new ideas for new quilt blocks.
A new lap quilt
What great ideas. Time to break out the fabric stash, dig out the machines and start sewing with my daughter
I think using the table runner designs and turning them into other projects like purses, totes, hot pads and all sorts of other things would be great fun.
Soft, fluffy, quilted pillows come to mind, that would use the Polyfil and the thread for sure! Then I might try some table runners from that book!
Thank you for the contest and the chance to win. I would make a small quilting project since I love to hand sew. I have my eye on some patterns to make a quilted bag. Thanks again for the chance to win such a great prize.
I would take my winning to my Mom’s and together make things for the family.
I would make a kitty cat pillowcase and pillow for my granddaughters. I would love to use the purse and make them a sewing kit. They are only 4 and 6, but grandma’s teaching them
With this give -a -way I would make my first quilted project . That would be a table runner to fit my coffee table. I would use the stuffing to make over the chair arm holders with a pins and needles cushion in the center and pockets on the sides for scissors etc. I would use these for Christmas gifts.
These projects would help me use up my stock in my fabric vault that is in my sewing oasis room.
I would make some quilts from the patterns in the new books and some pillows.
I would use the polyfill to make more owl sewing caddies. And I’m sure a table runner would be in order too!
I have 2 teddy bears cut out and that fiberfill would be motivation to get them sewn together. I’d probably “fall in love” with a project or 2 in the books and use up the thread.
So little, so much to sew.
I have so many ideas about quilts and table runners and totes and clothes to make that I’m going to have to live a very long time.
I would try some of the great ideas in the books that I would win with this giveaway.
I would make a pillow first, then either table runners or placemats.
I would make cushions for my camper that I’m almost done remodeling. I sewed new canvas ends, (its a pop-up camper) and I’ve been painting inside. So I will need new cushions for lounging at the beach.
If I won this I would make some small quilts and stuffed animals for my grand kids
I would make a chicken pin cushion.
I would make some more hats to donate to cancer.
I would make a baby quilt and burp rags for my first great grand child, I would top off the gift with a stuffed toy. I would give mom a table runner. I would be so excited to win this. Oh the possibilities!
I’ve always admired quilted projects. I’d like to learn with something small like maybe quilted pet mats and toys for the animal shelter.

I would wrap it all up as a graduation gift for my super Quilty Gal Pal and mother of four who just finished her Bachelor’s degree! So proud of her. And the quilts she does for Operation Kid Comfort. She is amazing.
This would be my chance to try quilting for the first time!
I would make some cute stuffed owls & foxes for kids.
They would be put to several uses the books are bound to give me inspiration for several things the fibrefill would be used for sock animals and depending on amounts of thread there is but I’m sure theres enough to put towards several small items
Table runners for starters, they make great gifts and are quick. Also, stuffed toys for my grandchildren.
A soft toy for my nephew; a quilt for my Mom. Poly-fil, Martingile, Coats & Clark brands I like to use for my projects, Thank you!!!
I am planing some stuffies for my first grandchild who is due in July, and for some reason impending grandmotherhood has brought on a huge interest in quilting of all kinds!
Well, I’ve got a sewing list a mile long and winning this will help me shorten that list. With the poyfil it would either be pillows r toys for my young grandchildren all 9 of then The tin would be nice to hava as a working relic.

I’d sit for a while browsing the books, choose a NEW project and get going on it!

I would make rag dolls like my Grandparents made when I was little. My Grandmother was partly blind and would sew the bodies and stuff the dolls.

I have never made a quilted table top so that would be something I would love to do. The tin would absolutely be perfect to have by my sofa with my hand sewing supplies in it.

With this prize I could decide on starting a new craft project.
Think first would make a pillow to prop my leg up on to help heal the wound that still has swelling. Word of warning stay away from cardboard. It cut my leg down to the bone.
Been dealing with this since March 11 2015 and we are now finally at the stage I don’t have to return to the Wound Care Clinic unless the leg starts to drain again. There is still some swelling so am supposed to prop it up at least twice a day. It happened when I was trying to go through some things and pack bumped the corner of a cardboard box in the process of moving to a much smaller place after almost fifty years of being in a larger home.
Now someone comes five days a week supposedly to help me for a couple of hours. Whatever is left either use making Swifter supplies or home made dusters. This place has blinds all over and they get dusty fast. The current homemaker wants Swifter which luckily my son had some so she is happily dusting the floor with it.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I would make a sewing machine cover to start with. I have been planning to get my spare room cleaned out to set up a sewing/craft room; this would give me some more incentive to do so. I would like to finish my grandchildren’s 18 ” doll projects: sleeping bags and pillows. The stuffing would be great for those.
Today is both my son’s and my granddaughter’s birthday. I would like to teach my granddaughter (now 7) how to sew. Her Mom ( my daughter ) is pregnant and due in November. I would use these items to make a baby quilt with my granddaughter. Then she could give a gift she had made herself. Getting another generation interesting in sewing.
