I would make the teapot cozy out of MOMO wonderland's red colourway... I still have some left from the FQ bundle I ordered and I am itching to use it....
ReplyDeleteEverything is so precious at her shop, but I really love the tea cozy pattern best!
ReplyDeletejamey (dot) fisher (at) gmail (dot) com
Oh! Those tea-pot cozies ARE amazing. I was thinking the other day how I needed one so my tea wouldn't get so cold so fast! These ones just look Fabulous!
ReplyDeletemelaniesenko@yahoo.ca
And, the wonderland does look good, I just made a quilt out of this... However I would make mine Orange and brown and perhaps mustardy yellows (those were the colours featured in my great grandmothers house and I just have nostalgic, warm and cosy feelings for them!
ReplyDeletemelaniesenko@yahoo.ca
The pear pincushion kit, the one with the measuring tape fabric is totally adorable!
ReplyDeletetamara_maxwell(at)hotmail (dot) com
I would totally do a cozie in a combination of Robert Kaufman - Metro Market (so adorable!) and Helen Dardik - Mod Kitchen (also so adorable!)
ReplyDeletetamara_maxwell (at) hotmail(dot)com
LOVE the owl softies! they would look so cute in our new nursery. (she's due in TWO WEEKS!
ReplyDeleteashleyblahnik@gmail.com
loving the color orange right now...so i would probably choose the Orange and Orchid Floral fabric for the owl softies. great contrast of colors against each other!
ReplyDeleteashleyblahnik@gmail.com
Those are adorable !
ReplyDelete098585c@acadiau.ca

You don't have to count my in the giveaway, but I just wanted to pop in and say that there is a swelling rumour in the craftblogosphere that these pattern's are ripoff's of Heather Bailey's. Now that I finally see them here with photos - I see that the rumours are pretty spot on. How sad.

I love the little elephants in her shop!

ReplyDeleteStella and Stewart owls!
ReplyDeletemontreuils6@aol.com
I would use red and black fabric and some fabric with hot peppers on them!
ReplyDeletehlvognetz@yahoo.com
I love the owls - they are so darn cute. a.haun@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteI would love to make one of these cozies using shades of green which happens to be my favorite color. I would probably add some creams to the greens.
ReplyDeleteOMG, how cute is this. I would make one in pink and brown. My favorite colors of course and it would sit on my craft table to I can have a cute tea pot within reach for when I drink some and craft at the same time!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Tilly and Tommy the Elephants! I would make my tea cozy incorperating Michael Miller print I bought years ago that would go with my kitchen in lovely shades of green.
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of everything!! Super cute shop. I would love to win the cozy to keep my tea warm, and as an intro. to quilting. I've always wanted to try, but I'm too intimidated to do a whole one quite yet. Not to sure why. Anywho, hope I win!
ReplyDeleteanapastuk@hotmail.com
I am in love with that cute little elephant! The owls are pretty darn cute too.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink colors, it's cute with the green they have with the elephant and with the orange they have on the pair.
ReplyDeleteLove the pincushion patterns!
ReplyDeleteI would make a tea pot cozy with some Ohio Sky from Amy Butler Midwest Modern that I have leftover from making a few things for my kitchen. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love all of those sewing patterns especially the elephant.
ReplyDeleteAh--I would make the teapot cozy because I desperately need one, and I would use (theoretically speaking, if I wasn't going to be practical and use up stash fabric) some luscious Anna Maria Horner with some dark brown linen that I have been saving for a special project. I would probably make two--one for me, and one for my mom.
ReplyDeletemarvelousmama (at) gmail (dot) com.
beside the tea cozy I really love the pears. make a pin cushion, a mobile or whatever...
ReplyDeletethe cozy I would sew in green. fall comes nearer and nearer so we'll miss this fresh color soon
the tea cozy! green and turquoise colors with geometric and floral patterns.
ReplyDeletekerricurrie (at) yahoo (dot) com
Thanks for introducing me to Retro Mama's store- it's bookmarked and I'm ready to shop (if I don't win of course!). I have to say my favorite is the Stella the owl. I'd use a classic Nicey Jane fabric- maybe Hop Dot Cherry for the body and Welcome Road Stripe Pink for the wings. Yes, I think that will do just wonderful! :) Can't wait to sew the tea pot cozy for Christmas gifts too- what a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love the pear pincushions in the retro mama shop!!
ReplyDeleteI would make the tea cozy in either Laurie Wisbruns Tufted Tweets or in Echino fabrics from the spring 2010 range.

ReplyDeleteoh love her owls she makes!! Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I would do, but I love pinks and greens together so I might do something like that!!!
velmametz@gmail.com
Oh! I've been lusting after this pattern for a while now, so your giveaway is perfectly timed! I would love to make one in lots of lovely chintzy old fashioned fabrics...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing in the shop? I'm with you - the elephants! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteI grew up by the ocean, but now live in the land-locked Midwest. I would make my cozy in shades of blue and tan to remind me of the beach!
ReplyDeleteStella and Stewart Owl are my favorites!
forstejm@yahoo.com
I love the elephant softie, so cute.
ReplyDeleteI would take one of each! Great color choices...the owls are adorable!
ReplyDeletebaby(dot)moo(at)hotmail(dot)com
Goodness, fabric choices are hard for me. I would make one in some flowery purples and solid reds.
ReplyDeleteMy fave is the elephant... but the tea cozy is a close second!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Stella & Stewart. Those owls are a hoot (sorry, couldn't help my self!) I love the that Stella is winking.

ReplyDeletebspeeker@yahoo.com
Oh what a fabulous shop! I had such fun looking around. I love the pear pin cushion. Too cute! And the elephant stuffy was adorable as well.
ReplyDeletethimbles3@hotmail.com
I would love to make it in blues and greens. Just love that color combination!
ReplyDeletethimbles3@hotmail.com
Oooh, lovely things--I can't decide between the owls or the pin cushions!
ReplyDeleteFor a color combination, I would start with mustard yellow and orange solids and add some coordnating florals, polka-dots, or other fun patterns!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I would like her owls- they are so cute!

I love the pear kit and pattern.
ReplyDeletelindagerig@sbcglobal.net

I love all of her items, they are great, but I especially love the tea cozies. They are wonderful and I need one so desperatly!
ReplyDeletekasophia@hotmail.com
I love the turquoise colour scheme seems so retro to me and would it would go with my extensive melmac collection. The quilting patchwork looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love the XL pear!!
ReplyDeletelynnpwatson(at) yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
I'd like an excuse to buy some Cloud 9 'By the Sea' fabric,would fit in great in my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between the pears (especially with the retro ruler fabric)and the tea cozy in the pink colourway. I'd make it using my "leftovers" of various Amy Butler fabric. These would make awesome Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteaustadtrish99@gmail.com
I love the pear pin cushion and it would make the perfect gift for my pear loving friend who recently took up sewing for soon to arrive niece!
ReplyDeleteTerri@Foggitt.org
I think I would have to make the tea cozy in creams and whites, with an antique looking fabric or go retro and bright!
ReplyDeleteI like the tea cozy pattern the best too. Her fabric combos are amazing!
ReplyDeleteallysont@ecologyfund.net
What a fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love her Tilly and Tommy Elephant Softies Pattern! :)
jenib320@yahoo.com
I would make my cosy using yummy fall colors, eggplant, fuschia, and mustard!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking some mendocino, modern meadow, and lizzy dish! :)
jenib320@yahoo.com
I would make the owls!
ReplyDeleteashleyturner007@gmail.com
I would use a gray, yellow, and white color scheme.
ReplyDeleteashleyturner007@gmail.com
I love the tea cozy best!
ReplyDeleteakgorby@hotmail.com
I'd just raid my stash of scraps. This would be the perfect project for that!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... the elephant softies or the pear pin cushion? Hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make my tea cozy in Nicey Jane by Heather Bailey. Any of the color ways would be fine with me!
ReplyDeletecharitymg@hotmail.com
I love the elephants - they are beautiful and cozy.
ReplyDeleteI would sew my tea cozy in scraps with lots of red - my Kitchen is red and yellow. Greetings from Berlin Germany
ReplyDeletefloh.stiche@yahoo.de
Pick just one item? lol. I love the pincushions. Such a great idea. Her colour schemes are great. Even as a beginner, already have lots of scraps to use, the cozy would be perfect for both a little vintage and a little new, just like my kitchen!
ReplyDeletebarbemiller@yahoo.ca
the pear pin cushion is precious. as are the owls.
ReplyDeletelibbi.ilyse@gmail.com
additionally (color choice) i am in love with the orange and orchid floral kit she has up. LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteThe tea cozy is my favorite but if I needed to pick something else it would be the pear trio. I would make the cozy out of some fabulous fall colorway to fit into my autumn home - burnt orange , purple, gold, green, bronze-y brown.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I like the winking owl or the snuggly elephant better. The owl is more "me" but the elephant makes me all warm inside.
ReplyDeletelindsaylefevere@gmail.com
I'd use fabrics from Anna Maria Horner's Garden Party line. For sure!
ReplyDeletelindsaylefevere@gmail.com
I like the elephant. It's so cute!
ReplyDeleteWorthy from couponworthy@gmail.com
For the color scheme, I want a fall color pattern, fall leaves, orange, brown, red.
ReplyDeleteWorthy from couponworthy@gmail.com
I recently made a few Retro Mama elephant and owl softies for little ones in my life - great patterns, directions were easy to follow, they sewed up quickly and easily and each of the little ones who rec'd them love them. Our main kitchen color is blue so the cozy would be made with many a different shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the owl sewing pattern.
ReplyDeleteI would do my cozy in reds and creams
ReplyDeleteAfter the tea cozy, I like Tilly and Tommy.
ReplyDelete303claudia at gmail dot com
My favorite color scheme these days is orange and light blue and I would probably throw in some red. Anything from Moda would be nice for the fabric - especially Momo.
ReplyDelete303claudia at gmail dot com
I love the Pear Pincushion Sewing Kit Retro Ruler, I think I will make it for my little babe Isla. Initally she can use it as a toy pear and I will teach myself to make some other fruits, umm excited already.
ReplyDeleteRachel_Harris@optusnet.com.au
The pear pincushion kit is adorable! Love it.
ReplyDeleteChrismiss10ataoldotcom
I would do my tea cozy in yellows, oranges, and greens--my favorite colors, plus they remind me of spring!
ReplyDeleteChrismiss10ataoldotcom
ohhhh, I love, love, love anything to do with sitting down with a friend and having a nice cup of tea! So a tea cozy would be my choice. All of her colour combinations are beautiful, but if i had to choose - I think I would choose, reds/yellows/oranges, but seriously, any colour!
ReplyDeleteKylie

I would make the tea cup cosy in fall colors,burgundy, deep greens, gold, etsc.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a tough time choosing between the Elephant Softies and the Pear pincushion!
With Autumn around the corner, I would choose some Fall colors for the Tea Cosy - Rust, Purple and Deep Green :)
ReplyDeleteI love her aprons, they are so cute! I would use various black and white patterns with a hint of steel blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Melissa
