OOh another great set coming our way. Those are super cute Jami. Now I have to put my thinking cap on and come back later (hopefully if I can come up with something) and edit my post.

Ok, I'm back. I can't swear to this since I tend to change my mind quite often BUT, I got an email a few days ago about baby bubbles being on sale and when they answer my email sent asking a few questions before I order them I'm thinking those design might be the perfect thing to put onto one of those for my Granddaughter to wear this summer.

ok.... I can see a decortive pilliow for a bench in my entryway.

I just thought of another project... I little hanging pillow quilt to hang on my hook. And if there is a smaller flower maybe a covered button for decoration.

These are cute Jami! Can't wait for them whether I win or not!

[craftmama]

Ohh, Can't wait. I've been doing baby things for so long, I would love to do something for myself.

What a cute set. I think the bird on the branch would look so cute on a little girls dress that had a bodice, with the bird in the middle and the little butterflies flying around on each side.
They would also look so cute on a little girls capri's or tank tops. On my now I wish I had a little girl to sew for:)

Thought of a couple more things lol. The bird on the branch would also look sew cute as a border on a purse momogramed, bath towels or kitchen towels.

The Love flower would be cute to make into a button to wear or sewn onto a little girls headband. Oh my goodness when will this set be ready lol

[artsiegirl]

Oh my goodness! I can't wait for this to come out!!!

I'm thinking a sweet little apron skirt for the bird on the branches stitched on the apron and the flower and butterflies stitched around a wide border hem. I think the love flower would be adorable on a wide grosgrain ribbon for a bow.

I think if I were lucky enough to get this set I would make a photo album to put my Easter pictures in. The branch with the bird would be precious on the cover with Easter 2009 above it. The flowers and butterflies could be stitched and put on the pages. Spring is my favorite time of the year and these designs just say spring.

Premie Clothes! I'm in a charity that makes blankets and clothes for special needs and in-need babies. The simple design of the bird/branch and butterflies would be great for teeny-tiny little dresses, matching blanket and bib. Unfortunately, due to the economy, the demand for our outfits has increased at a rate we can hardly meet. Even more sad, the need for burial outfits has also increased. Although a terribly sad circumstance, I think the bird on the branch and butterflies would be precious done in very light pastels on a donated burial outfit with the coordinating "memory packet" we provide to the mothers. Just looking at the designs makes you go "aaahhhhh."

Diana,

That's one of the reasons I LOVE this set is because it screams my name all over it...it's time to do something for US and this would be perfect. Of course, baby stuff as mentioned from others, would be cute too. But, this works great for home dec and more "mature" ;) stuff!

Gorgeous designs!

I have a few ideas and hope they are coherent. The bird on the branch would be so cute on a personalized journal/notebook cover. I can also visualize it as a wall hanging on a couple of different types of mounts. Those butterflies would be cute on a little girls Spring hat. I also thought of the designs on a diaper wipes case that is fabric covered.

[Oregongirl]

I'm ready for spring! So I'm thinking a border on garden gloves, the fabric tie on a floppy straw hat, and maybe on the pockets of a garden apron that I put my flower seed packets in. If I'm going to have to pull weeds, I might as well look good doing it, lol!

[cheriez]

I can definatley see these on dish towels in my kitchen!!
Love them!!

I would use them on wedding gifts such as embroidering them on sheet sets/pillowcases and their bath towels in colors that match those rooms. My son is getting married in May. So when I saw these designs it made me think of the "lovebirds".:love:

[idesign]

Jami, these designs are so neat, and lots of ideas come to mind. The first is for me--a spring green or lime green sweatshirt makeover with either a zipper or buttons down the front, and the "circle border" all in bright pink along the zipper or outside edge of the placket. Then in the upper left area of the chest, a bright pink "solid bird branch". If it were a gift, I would then use the horizontal "bird on a branch" for one of the ends of a wide ribbon, and then the butterflies on the other.

For my niece's pillowcase, a little garden of funky flowers, bird branches in the corners, and the love applique in the center with her initial added. Some fun colors that would be picked up in a rick rack border at the bottom. I'm thinking the pastel multi color that I just saw at Jo Ann Fabrics, then match threads to the colors in the rick rack.

Congrats on the new designer!

Oh. My. Word.

LOVE these! The retro-ish style is so "in" right now, and these are perfect!


I see a plain denim jumper with the branch/bird on the chest, and then a combination of butterfly/bird/flower at the hem (depending on scale...).

WHEEEEEE!

I love to personalize gifts. I would take the designs and put them on a canvas bag for a bridal, engagement or valentine gift. I put the gift in the bag and it is always so special!

[Pedal Pusher]

Who won the designs? I must have missed the announcement.

Perfect! I have been looking for something more mature and I am redoing my kitchen in "birds". this is perfect for a table runner for my table, kitchen towels to match.

Plus a Picture frame with no glass and embrodery one of the birds and stuff it in the material and hang as a picture to match the other things. I love it , thanks so much!

I do tend to get tired of the baby stuff and need a little "me" stuff. thanks!

[Juli]

Ooh so cute! I don't think I could pick any one thing I could use those for! Cute spring/summer outfits for my girls, a little something for myself, kitchen dish towels. I love it!

[Jami Johnson]

I can't believe I totally spaced posting the winner on here. I am so sorry ladies. I kept reading the ideas and loved them all, but then got totally sidetracked and completely forgot to post my fav. Thanks Vicki for the reminder. :)

They were all fun ideas, but the one I loved the most was Oregongirl's (and I promise it had nothing do with her username. wink.). I thought her project ideas were really creative and would also be a fun way to do a little gift for that special gardner in your life (or yourself :) ).

Here's the recap of her reply:
I'm ready for spring! So I'm thinking a border on garden gloves, the fabric tie on a floppy straw hat, and maybe on the pockets of a garden apron that I put my flower seed packets in. If I'm going to have to pull weeds, I might as well look good doing it, lol!

So, Oregongirl, congrats on winning this fab collection and watch your download center for your new collection compliments of us. And of course, if you do make your idea into reality be sure to post a picture for us to see!

[Juli]

I totally missed her reply. What great ideas! I hope you post some photos of your creations for us!

[StitchinGrandma]

Congratulations Oregongirl! Enjoy that awesome set of designs.

[Jeri]

These designs would look adorable on a little girls jean jacket.. I can see the branch and the bird enlarged across the back ... The little butterflies a border on the bottom of the jacket and Love circle on pockets.. flowers scattered all over... Wish I had a Little Girl to make that for.... someday

My youngest daughter is a girly girl, and these designs are right up her alley! I can see the little bird and butterfly's twirling on her skirts and the love design and tree on her shirt!!

Love it!! Greta
