I’m sure you all remember me writing about Crooked Brook, a label used by the atelier division of an art studio. They are a full service pattern making, sample making, custom embroidery, private label and apparel design studio, with small lot production capabilities. Since 1989, they have built a strong reputation of providing apparel designs, patterns, fit and production samples for many brand name catalogs and retailers, as well as wardrobe and costumes for movies, television and theater.
In addition, they design and manufacture men’s and women’s chef coats for the world’s most recognized chefs. Each one of their chef coats and aprons is made to order in the USA, and can be personalized with your choice of fabric, pockets, buttons, piping and embroidery. They also have individual men and women for whom they make everything from custom vests, evening dresses and wedding gowns, to jeans and shirts.

Looks like it( most of it anyway) would make a nice patriotic quilt- I'm working on a quilt of valor for my son in recognition for his 10 years in the Air Force! PLus I could use purple for another project. Robin- rnoel57@gmail.com
I would use the fabric to make a quilt to give to our local dialysis center. The patients there are always asking for blankets to cover-up with, while they are being treated. Lisa - lcdimaio@gmail.com
I rug hook and usually use wool as my main fabric, but I have branched off into using other fabric materials as well. I would use this in a wall hanging that I am hooking and the colors would be perfect.

As a veteran of the U. S. Army during the Viet Nam Era, I see a Quilt of Valor for someone at the Veteran's Home in Oxford, MS. I'd use the balance in charity quilts or sample blocks for my quilt guild. Thanks for this opportunity.

i would love to win this so i can continue to make lap quilts for the men and women at the local nursing home for the winter in their wheel chairs. i never realized how many men and women's families placed them there and forgot them it is really sad so i try to make a difference everyday by volunteering to help as i can. i go and see my mother-in-law everyday and help her. so this is what i would do with the scraps. so god bless
Enter me in to the fabric give away. I could possibly use fabric to make smocks for local pre school.

These would make a great center strip for string quilts. Very nice basic dark color and the strings would definitely pop. its_me29456@yahoo.com
Aprons for myself and my family. We all love to cook, but we don't have a supply of aprons. So I end up having to spot treat grease spots on our clothing. I'd make full aprons out of it so our clothing is covered - the little 1/2 aprons just don't meet the challenge.
would love to win this

These look like the perfect fabrics to make a patriotic apron! We visited the Lincoln library and museum in springfield and I saw a child's patriotic apron that I want to recreate!

Lisa, that fabric looks like it would make a wonderful "teenage boy" very happy at the "Binky Patrol". It would be nice to add to some of the printed pieces I have in stash. Pick me so I can have a chance to help make a young man happy.
They would look very nice mixed with shirting fabrics for charitable boy's quilts.
quilts, table runners, door prizes for quilt bee.....I am sure that these fabrics might turn up in many projects....that would be determined at the moment of cutting....sundayquilter@msn.com
I'm new to quilting but those colors are calling me to do something with flowers and greens. I'm working on some baltimore alburms right now and perhaps that is what is calling to me. LOL. Love that fabric grouping.
Oops. forgot to put my email addy in.

Oh My would I love to win that stack of fabric. I need to go look at this company's site also. I have a chef son but he's not famous. :-)

I would start an Amish theme quilt I've always wanted to do. Thanks for the opportunity.
I would love to win this pretty fabric to go into an Amish quilt I keep planning to make. Any leftovers always go into my outreach program lap quilts for our local seniors.
I would love to use this fabric to make blankets/quilts for children and babies at the Winnie/Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando,FL where my daughter was recently a very well treated patient.
Thanks you

I love the Amish-ish colors. I'm pretty sure they'd find their way into an upcoming quilt for my guest room.

I would use these fabrics to make log cabin potholders that I would raffle off as prises to raise money for the Phoenix Childrens Hospital. I'm always looking for ways to give back to a hospital who cares so much for the kids they serve.

That looks like it would make great sashing!
I would use these beautiful fabrics for a pinwheel quilt for the advocacy charity or the soldiers returning groups. Thank you for such a nice offer.
carol c, aka Kingcooper0001@aol.com
My mom and I make Quilts for the homeless in our area. And the colors you have would finish 3 or 4 quilts we have going right now. We only used donated fabric so it would really help. Thanks for considering me.

I would love to make a Judy Laquidara pattern quilt with these.
Well honey, I passed 18 up about forty years ago, so I think the age requirement won't hurt me. LOL! Seriously, I'd love to have this fabric because my passion is prints and I never have enough solids. If solids were all I bought till my dying day, I wouldn't come close to running out of prints! They'd be great for binkies.
I would use this fabric to make my kids some shorts.... I have a pattern for a gender neutral pair of shorts and both of them have basically outgrown their last years clothes...and with no money this would be perfect and the colors would be perfect to go with most shirts....

Well nuts, All that chatter and forgot the email adress.

The fabric you have in your give away would work perfect in the quilt pattern I have been wanting to make! I have all the other fabric but just need some solid colors. The quilt is from the Moda Bake Shop and would love to win your give away!

I'm working on Sylvia's Bridal Sampler Quilt. Some nice solids would work well!

My church makes quilts to give to local charities and to send overseas. We also sent some to Minot citizens who are victims of a record breaking flood. We would use it to "give a hug" to someone who needs to be warm and loved.

Lisa - it's great to read your blog!! I remember when you first posted about your interest in charity quilting!! You have accomplished so much - congratulations! If I win this fabric, I'll make quilts to donate to my quilt guild's charity quilting initiative called Community Quilts. Thanks for the give-away.... Kate the Quilting Professor... krountree@ithaca.edu
I could use these fabrics to help finish of my next batch of blankies for the folks who have lost eveything in the tornados in Alabama and Mississippe. I'm just looking to get the boarders done and then I can quickly quilt them and send them on their way. /Thank you for the wonderful offer to share them with all of us. Happy 4th of July, please be safe. Blessings, Sheila sheila.millar@suntust.com
I would like to make a quilt for the victims of the tornado that hit Joplin, MO with theses fabrics. It wouldn't be the same quilt that Grandma had covered them with--it was lost in the rubble of the tornado. But it would be a symbol of a new beginning, the onset of a new life, covered in your materials and my prayers.
Take out the white, and those are exactly the colors from an antique family quilt that I have. It would be fun to recreate that quilt...as it would have looked before the mice got to it!

I would incorporate the fabric into quilts I make for kids (QFK's) and for the soldiers (QOV's) I never have enough patriotic fabric and r/w/b's

I have been saving bits of solid fabrics for a pineapple quilt. Right now I have a pitiful small bag that might make a square or two, this stack would put me on my way.
The first thing i thought of when i saw the fabric was an Amish string quilt. It just looked like Amish colors. Mary in MI
I have a sports print that I'd like to make a couple of throw quilts with, and I need something to go with it--this fabric looks like it would work great. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

My son lived in Joplin, MO. He has had a hard time finding a place to live. He lost much due to the tornado. He finally found a place to live in another town. I would love to use the material to make him a quilt. Something new for this next phase of his life. Thank you for this opportunity.

handybear@aol.com
this fabric looks like it is screaming QOV with the red, white and blue - but I'd lay odds that I could do more than one project (especially adding from my stash) so there would be a love quilt for a cancer patient too rahobbit@yahoo.com
I am teaching 4 granddaughters to quilt, this fabric would be perfect to make a small quilt out of they could raid my stash if they need more. We will use my accuquilt to cut the pieces and they can pick a pattern.
thanks for having a giveaway of the great fabrics!
Hi Lisa, My first thought was I could use a couple more apron coverings in my home (& as gifts to some budding chefs). But I am involved with "Just For You" quilts w/ my guild that the colors would be so good for male hospital patients, that I'd use them there first.
Thanks for the offer
I would love to win this fabric - a good time to practice with my Go cutter and make some fantastic quilts!

Ohhh, I would love to make something sweet for my new grandbaby who is due to arrive most any moment, or for her mom who has been big and bulky and patient for sooo many months!
O, I would add it a print fabric to help finish a cowboy quilt, I plan to make for Charity. lkcquilts@hotmail.com
That fabric would make a boys quilt. I have 2 grandsons in need of new quilts. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have been wanting to make an Amish Quilt with all solids and this would be a great opportunity to do that.
