Cloud9 is on cloud 9 (and a giveaway)

The August issue of Martha Stewart Living includes a feature on Cloud9 fabrics, the organic fabric company started by Michelle Engel Bencsko and Gina Pantastico.  Don't forget, they just debuted their first line, My Happy Garden, less than one year ago!

Here is Michelle and Cherri House of Cherry House Quilts at Spring Quilt Market with the gorgeous quilt Cherri made from their second collection, Beyond the Sea.  This collection was another great line of organic cotton prints and marked the debut of three matching organic solids.

And now, they are introducing Forest Friends Flannel.  It shipped to stores this week and I happen to have on good authority who is getting those shipments.  The stores below will have some or all of the Forest Friends Flannel collection in the next few days:

	Bolt		PurlSoho
	City Craft		Quiltique
	Crafty Planet		Saints & Pinners (UK)
	Fabricworm		Sew to Speak
	Fancy Tiger		Sewtropolis
	Hart's Fabric		Stonemountain & Daughter
	Modern Organic Fabrics		The Little Shop
	Pink Chalk Fabrics

Cloud9 is still on cloud 9 after their Martha article, so they have generously offered one of my readers a bundle of one-half yard of each of the six prints in the collection. That bundle is worth $49.50!

 

So, to win this bundle, enter a comment on this post by noon on Thursday, August 19.  Tell me what you plan to do with this bundle:  1)  Turn it into darling things for baby, 2) Caress it lovingly for days dreaming of big projects that never get sewn, or 3) Display it in a place of honor next to the family china.  The winner will be picked at random and notified by email.

And if you don't win... crack open the piggy bank and pick up a yard or two of this luscious flannel.

I'd probably use them is a soft snuggly quilt for my grandson & then buy some yardage of the owls to make matching jammies!

[TiffanyM]

I thing i'd recover my carseat! :) That thing is "LOVED" :) or finally take that chance and learn how to quilt! :)

I am going to attend a baby shower for a friend in a month, and would love to turn these beautiful fabrics into adorable baby wear! Then turn the leftovers into a tiny patchwork quilt just right for the new baby to hug :)

I would make cute pajamas for my daughter in college! She would adore these fabrics.

[Susan M]

dresses for my little ones, they'd be soo cute!

[Sarah S.]

I was thinking if I bribe my sister with such lovely fabrics maybe she will make me one of the fabulous mini-quilts she's been making recently.

[Rebecca S]

Beautiful! #1 for sure...

[Marguerite]

ha! Probably number 2... but #1 would be the goal :)

[Grandma G]

Probably #2 here, also... lol But really, I'd find something to make with it. I do have a lovely little granddaughter, y'know! :)

[Michelle]

Number one! Nothing adds to baby fever like sewing baby things!

I would love to use them to make crib bedding for my first baby due February 2011.

Number 2 for sure. It's sad but I feel bad cutting up something so gorgeous.

[lesley [smidgebox]]

oh, definitely some cozy fall jammie pants for my two littles. and i've got no doubt that i'll be buying some of my own for use in my upcoming line of organic baby goodies ;)

[Janet]

My first grandchild (boy) is due in Oct. Would love to make him some things with this fabric!!

[Mandy]

I would probably stare at it for a bit, but I'd love to use it to make a few stroller blankets for friends having winter babies!

I'd do all three! Seriously, there seem to be lots of new babies to sew for, so would love these gorgeous fabrics for baby quilts but I'd also love to make my daughter a big floor pouffe. Thanks for this fab giveaway.

[Nicki]

Oh my goodness... I don't know where to start. I would definitely use it for a quilt or a baby blanket... or a beautiful diaper bag.... so many options! Love this material!
