A while back, I made this pillow using Etchings Wovens and a fusible fleece which I bought from Julia at Gone to Earth. I have since made more pillows with this fleece which I can't show you because they're Xmas presents but I love it so much and it makes pillow making so easy and the resultant pillow is very cosy and soft if you're in the mood for a Sunday afternoon nap which I often am.
I asked Julia is she might give some of this fusible fleece away and she has agreed to do so. So, here's a quick Thanksgiving / Black Friday giveaway of 2 metres of this wonderful fleece for you to try your hand at making pillows (or bags or other items) with. Just one quick easy comment to be in with a chance of winning. Just let me know what you would make with it and Mr Random will draw a winner on Sunday, probably just after my afternoon nap.
ooo - enter me please! It would encourage me to finally get round to making those 3 cushions for the living room sofas (and we could stop fighting over the 2 I have finished!)
ReplyDeleteCushions would be fantastic, as I'm trying to use up some of my scraps! I've heard of fusible fleece before, but I'm not totally clear on how it works...
ReplyDeleteI'm a total Gone to Earth fan, they are super helpful.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cushions and a bag. So much you can squeeze out of 2 metres! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat that you show this fabulous pillow again. It is on my todo list already :) O course I would sew a pillow. I plan making some pillows as gifts.
ReplyDeleteSusanne
I used fusible fleece for the pillow I made in the recent Brit Quilt Swap after your suggestion. It was a dream to hand quilt the design in perle and you've converted me. So now I want to make more pillows. If there was any left over then it would almost certainly be used in bag making!
ReplyDeleteCushions and some little pouches with the scraps.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen
It's obviously great for cushions and I like to try it in bags too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I'd like to make bags with them :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
Would love to give this a try if it can be posted to France. I've heard of fusible fleece but never tried it.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be a complete copycat and make a stars and stripes pillow too, but mine would go and live in the USA with my little sister! Or perhaps a stars and stripes one for me and a Union flag one for her...
ReplyDeleteVickie
I have been using fusible Hobbs quilt batting for my cushions and little bags and such. I'd be curious to compare the fusible fleece to the batting. I'd make a cushion I think.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try fusible fleece - as I've heard so many good things about it! I'd love to make a purse for me & some new pillows for our living room. Thanks for a chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of this stuff so count me in. And i'm a big fan of gone to earth!!
ReplyDeleteBags, bags and more bags.....need I say more ?

ReplyDeleteCushions, cushions and more cushions - I'm in a cushion making phase at the moment!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is gorgeous! I would love to win some fusible fleece. Can never have enough.
ReplyDeleteI've been planning a christmassy pillow for the couch in my head.
ReplyDeleteI'll love to try that. :)
ReplyDeleteCushion mania here at the moment to finish up some orphan blocks! But any left over would go to a bag or two!?
ReplyDeleteI've used fusible fleece for small runners and wall hangings so would love to have some more and compare!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to make bags. Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteap_lemos at yahoo.com
I would make a pillow just like this one!
ReplyDeleteOh oh oh yes please! Lovely stuff that fusible fleece, and I was just about to put an order in anyway!
ReplyDeleteI just started turning my hand to bag making, so definitely some bags and purses!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try it making bags but I've got pillows on my list too!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make some more cushions, although a bag is a good option too. So many choices......
ReplyDeleteCount me in,please. I can't find fusible fleece here in Portugal and I'd love to try it in a new bag I want to make. The book asks for fusible fleece, you know...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.
Oh I love fusible fleece. I use it in my bags all the time. works great. thanks!

ReplyDeleteI think I'd make cushions for my bed. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAh well - where would I start - probably with one of the current batch of challenge projects, which could end up as anything - a hanging, a lap quilt or even a cushion ;o) - depending on where the mood takes me
ReplyDeleteI love that pillow...I have several projects I could turn a hand with using the fusible fleece. I would start with a bag for my laptop.
ReplyDeleteOh would love to try this...I would def. make pillows..nice cozy pillows.
ReplyDeleteI haven't a clue (honestly) partly because all I can think of is that pillow you made and partly because I haven't had enough coffee yet and partly because I'm trying to visualize 2 meters. Lol Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletehave a great nap!
ReplyDeleteand then PICK ME!
well, would be nice ...
thanks
Hey, you were selling me on just abandonning my weekend sewing plans to dig out the small amount of fusible fleece I have to do an entirely new project as it was, but the chance to win replacement fleece is even better, thank you :o)
ReplyDeleteHmmm a quilt without basting would be good, but then I'm rather enjoying doing cushions :-)
ReplyDeleteMama needs to make a brand new bag for herself and this would help. Love the pillow!
ReplyDeleteI am totally making pillows for my mother in law. This would be great!
ReplyDeletePerfect timing as I just used up the two metres I bought as a result of your post about it before. So I do need a restock. I found it particularly useful with zippy pouches too. Worked a treat.
ReplyDeleteI would make a pillow front and hope there is enough left to make a stuffed toy for my lovely little grandniece.
ReplyDeleteI have plans to make the Birdie Sling, this would be awesome to have!
ReplyDeleteI loves making bag with them. Thanks for the giveaway!
