In my recent post entitled linen indecision I discuss a lovely piece of fabric from Cabbages & Roses received as a gift from the Fabulous Fifi and my hesitation to use it. I was delighted with everyone's wonderful suggestions and of course noticed how so many of you are also smitten with the English company's pretty fabric. So you know what I did? I contacted Cabbages & Roses and asked to host one of their giveaways. They happily agreed and now you can have the chance to win some beautiful Cabbages & Roses fabric!
How does a meter of Elgin blue fabric sound? It is one of Cabbages & Roses' most recent prints.
To enter please leave a comment on this post describing what you would do with your own meter of Elgin blue fabric.
For additional entries share news of this giveaway on Twitter, your blog, and/or Facebook and leave a separate comment for each, letting me know you have done so.
A winner will be selected at random on January 20, 2011.
Can't get enough Cabbages & Roses? Visit their blog and website.
Good luck!

Am I first? Yay! I think I'd use it to make a quilted throw. It's a pretty fabric. I may need to repaint my living room to match...
I'd make a little pillow...maybe even two with that meter of beautiful fabric. Thank you for hosting this wonderful giveaway!
Blessings,
Marcia
P.S. I have a CSN giveaway on my blog right now, in case you want to come by and enter :-)
Oh my, an apron for sure would be how this fabric would end up!! It is beautiful. I would embellish and trim with vintage crochet lace and doilies....making something both functional and beautiful.
What absolutely beautiful fabric....I would probably do pillows or either cover a chair that I am repainting that is in desperate need of some brightening up!
That beautiful fabric would be made into something for my parlor and tea room. Maybe a tea cozy or a pillow for the love seat.
Love Your Blog,
Happy 2011,
Nancy
I would make some pillows for my living room, I live with my mother and we could REALLY use some color in this house! Beige Beige Beige
After laying it out on my lap and stroking it a like a kitten for awhile, I would make it into a wall hanging fabric collage.It would look fatastic in my living room.
Here I am again to tell you I posted it on my fb.knuckled54@yahoo.com Denise Adorian
I would make a quilted tea cozy for my British tea pot and matching lined short draperies for my new apartment's kitchen. It's beautiful fabric and, though I don't have a new place to live yet, it's given me some great ideas for decorating!
I would make a cute little valance for the kitchen window. I'm looking for ways to beautify the home. I also share an apartment with my father, so he doesn't like a lot of pink. However, he does love blue..so I could get this to work :) :) :) I think the fabric is lovely. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Hi Elyse,
Your site caught my eye when I saw Blue and White and Giveaway mentioned.
My kitchen is blue and white and I have been wanting to make a seat cushion for my window seat and have been looking for the perfect fabric...lol and here it is...so yes, yes, yes please enter me in your gorgeous giveaway!!
I just bought a brand new cookware set today in a gorgeous shade of blue just like these cabbage roses!!
Thank you for the chance!!
Hugs and Smiles,
Susan
Such a beautiful print! I think maybe a couple of embellished pillows, beautifully framed wall art, a fantastic apron with coordinating fabrics, a sweet chair cover, so many things to think about.......=)
I put it on my Facebook page. Too pretty not to let people know. =)
Also put it on twitter.....lol. =)
Hi Elyse Sweetie...
Oh what a beutiful share my friend. I believe that I would make two new pillows for my bedroom. I am redoing it in blue and brown, and how gorgeous they would be made from this fabric. I may have to check into buying enough for curtains while I am at it. I love, love this print. So gorgeous.
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity. You actually had FiFi over. Oh my, you lucky gal, and got a beautiful piece of fabric. Oh what a treasure. She is a DOLL.
I also posted your giveaway on my blog, it's in my scrollbar. I love sharing giveaways with my blogger friends.
Have a gorgeous evening sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Oh, my goodness, Elyse...how wonderful of you! I would quilt it--make a little blanket just for me!
Hope you're having a beautiful night, my friend!
Julie
Wow - what pretty fabric! I never heard of the company before and now I'll have to skip on over there and take a peek!
I would make curtains I think. Such a pretty blue pattern.
Jeanine
Beautiful fabric... It would be perfect in my bedroom, so I think I would have to make a cushion cover...Lx
Oh my! I would most definitely make the snuggliest, coziest, plushest pillows ever. And then I might not ever come out again....ever.
Pillows for my lovely bedroom; that fabric would match so well. Thanks for the opportunity.
Hi Elyse..well let me just start by commending you on your 'go gettum' attitude! You want something, you have a vision of it, and you work to make it a reality! Good for you!
As far as what I would do with a meter of this gorgeous fabric...well, right now I'm working on, among other things simultaneously, a crochet lace trim that features, you guessed it, a rose pattern on it. I have had the trail of lace growing steadily..but if I were to win this sweet fabric I would certainly up my creative anti and finish it quick. My breakfast round table would look marvelous all decked out in rosey fashioned lacy table cloth! Say, would you not?
Thanks for the chance!
Ciao Bella!
Creative Carmelina
Oh Elyse how sweet of you to host this wonderful giveaway of fabric!! I have been toying with the idea of bringing some blue into that cute little detached sun porch of mine and pillows would be perfect made out of this beautiful fabric!
Hope you week is festive and fun sweet friend! We're brrrr cold here!
bee blessed

Hi there--the fabric is gorgeous! I think I would make a pillow or even frame some. Thanks so much!

Oh how lovely...I would make pillows for my sofa or I could cover my chairs...either way this fabric would be welcomed in my home...thanks for the chance. xoxoox
I am new to your blog and I love it! I think I would make two little pillows for two chairs in my living room. Such pretty fabric.
Careyann
Perhaps make a pillowcase. :)
Fab fabric.I would make either a quilted top for my tray or I'd use it to line the outer of my gorgeous little white cupboard.I'd want everyone to be able to see it..xx
Blue and white is my ultimate color combination! I'd either make a table runner for my dining room or pillows for my bedroom.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I am in the process of redecorating the small back entrance area of our church, and I think this fabric would look perfect as a tablecloth/topper on a little round table between two old original wooden chairs in that space! The chairs I'm planning to use there could use some recovering, so the seats could match as well! Thank you for the opportunity and the inspiration!

I'd carefully wrap it up.....pop it in a pretty box, for the day I move to my fave village. It would then be made into a beautiful swedish blind, in my bedroom....

Definitely pillows!! thanks!
What beautiful fabric. I would love to quilt it and throw it over my living room sofa. Yea, that would be pretty. Thanks for the chance. Carol
Hi Elyse,
I love blue and white fabric. The one you have show here is gorgeous. I would use it to create a pillow to go with my blue and whites in my living room.
Karen
This beautiful fabric would be placed in my vintage frames and hung in my dining room to match my collection of blue and white transfer-ware.
Hello Dearie! Well, it seems we have the same dilema when it comes to cutting a gorgeous piece of fabric like yours. I would probably just hem the edges and make a table throw or a nice big bolster for the bed to take full advantage of it. It would look sooo pretty with lots of big white linen pillows! OH, and nothing & nobody can replace your sweet handmade treasures!! Happy New Year Elyse!! xoRoberta
(p.s. If I win, go ahead and give it to the next person in line)
I'd use it to maybe cover some lamps and hopefully have enough for a matching cushion.
I'd cover some of my notebooks in it so everytime I have to use it for work it would make me smile :-) so gorgeous, I just love it!
Just retweeting this! Georgia
Pillows, journal covers, fabric pinboard- oh I'd have to really think hard for a bit, seeing the fabric, feeling the fabric, resting my head against the fabric.... oh. Just got carried away!
Michaele
What a great giveaway! I would make an apron.
Irma :)
I have a blue on my bedroom walls that would be fantastic with this print! I'm not sure how many yards {?} a meter is but if it was enough I'd make straight curtains for the one window in my bedroom and/or pillows too for the bed! Thanks for a sweet giveaway! Suzie purrpage3[at]verizon[dot]net

I'd make some cute valances for my bedroom windows..there are only blinds on there now since I've been searching for the perfect fabric to make them. I'd have enough left over for a coordinating throw pillow for my bed too!

More than enough to mix with matching blues and solids to do a quilt!
Hi Elyse, This is so thoughtful of you! I would use it as a table cloth for my dining room. They have the most beautiful patterns, don't they? Marcia
I posted this on my Facebook! Marcia
I have blue and white toile in my bedroom and that would go sooooo nicely.
I would just have to sew up a bloster pillow the one that goes across the entire bed.Then if any material left a pajama pillow or pajama hanger
I would use it to cover the front of my Heritage Scrapbook...many of my ancestors were from England...so that works!
I'm not sure, Elyse. But looks like wonderful tablecloth material. Beautiful!
Brenda
omgosh how did i miss this!
a Beautiful DIY Headboard would be absolutely beautiful!!!!
Crossing my fingers and toes!
xoxooxo

I have a lamp shade I want to recover and this fabric would be just perfect. It's truly gorgeous - they have the prettiest fabrics!
Hugs

My guest room is all blue & white. I would use the fabric for pillows for the bed and the cedar chest. I think I would also make a beach bag for my summer guests to put their towels & sunscreen.
That is such beautiful fabric!
~Marilee
Gorgeous! Thank you for hosting this giveaway. I'd make a tea cozy and matching tea towel to go with one of my tea sets!
no pillows for me, I would make a bag to carry all my things & show off that pretty fabric!
A big fluffy pillow for me! It's gorgeous!!!
Someone is going to be so lucky and happy with a metre of that incredible print! You are so nice to go to the trouble to set up this giveaway. If I won it, first it would get a crochet-trim edging so that I could have it out as a casual throw or a table-cover to admire it and then maybe it would later become a few pretty cushions and sachets with the scraps.
This lovely fabric would become a set of matching pillows for my mother's cabbage rose sofa (we live together). Thanks for the giveaway of this pretty fabric. Please enter me into the drawing if you are shipping to the USA.
Gosh I'm not 100% sure, something for my mom though

Make pillows of course...I can't ever seem to have enough pillows, especially if the fabric is this pretty!!!
Happy New Year Elsye! Hope you are having a great weekend!!
Hugs ~

I would use it to make a quilt and pillow. The fabric is fresh and crisp.
Blue is my favorite for a bedroom. So restful and beautiful! A lovely pillow of dressing table scarf may be the perfect project! Thank you for a chance to dream...V

This is beautiful fabric! I would make two valances for windows in my craft room. I would add ribbons and trim, and really add some frill! Thanks, Anita
I would love to make a valance for my downstairs 1/2 bath. It would work out perfectly!!!
mini_babies@yahoo.com
Ooooo, how fun, Elyse!!! Cabbages & Roses - sigh!
I hope I'm in time to participate - the color and style is perfect for my tiny cottage. I would love to make a skirt for the bottom shelf of my French baker's rack in the eat-in kitchen, and then use any remaining fabric to make bags!
Such a lovely giveaway. Yay!!!
I love your blog and your design style. I am in the process of decoraating my guest bedroom in a cottage style. I've already painted it cottage blue. I would use the fabric as a starting point and make ome pillows to add to the white duvet covers.
2 little pillows and a little fabric canvas to match over the top of my bed
Pillows in that fabric would go perfect in my family room!
Well, I would make some throw pillows for my couch. Love that fabric!
It's the day,It's the day!!!!.
I would make something for my sewing room as I am in Queensland and was slightly affected by the floods, it looks so nice and fresh!
A great giveaway!!! I'd probably make a cushion cover or some cute hanging hearts : )

Well if I'm not too late. . . I think I would make a pillow out of it. I just found you, and I think your blog is lovely
Just found your blog and I am so enjoying it!
~Heidi
Just came from the Cabbage & Rose site, dreaming over their beautiful fabrics. So man to choose from!
What would I do? Incorporate it into the quilt I keep wanting. Something I could enjoy and treasure a very long time.
I just found your blog while looking for an old Cabbage and Roses book called "Vintage Chic". What a nice give away, I would use the metre of fabric to cover two old lamp shades on our bed side tables, the base is a terracotta and it was the first set of lamps we bought a long time ago. The shades are currently pale green but I think this fabric would look fabulous. Ann
