I've won twice on the fabshophop. The prize I won the first time was four 5-yard cuts of neutral fabrics. I was thrilled. They were great for quilt backs and sashings. The second prize was a pattern with free shipping. Your experience must have been the opposite of mine.

I think the teapot set would make a really nice apron or maybe a couple. If you don't use aprons, they might make a nice gift for someone.
Congratulations on winning a prize. I've done the Fab Shop Hop a couple of times and did not win anything.

I pouted for a few days, and then hubby said I should at least let them know that I was disappointed in what I recieved. So I did.... and they were very nice, and said if I was not satisfied I should send it back and they would send something different. That pleased me, even if I had to pay to send them..... I figured anything would have been better. (Those fabrics were horrible...and after all the time you spend "hopping")
I kept thinking that maybe I was being to hard on them, but then I thought... if I was doing a prize giveaway in a regular store, I certainly would have chosen something of better quality.
Or if I was donating a prize. So this is what they sent as a replacement.........
Now.... what to do with them? I am open to any inspirational suggestions you may have!
