Sometimes I have absolutely NO IDEAS whatsoever.

This is also a future fabric release. I assume someone had an idea... the designer, surely? ... but I'm drawing a blank on this one.

Creative souls, please chime in!

What comes to mind is more of decorating a glamorous bedroom to minic the 20s or 30s! :-D

RedGarnet222 01-19-2010 09:09 AM

Reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

tigger5464 01-19-2010 09:13 AM

I spy fabrics maybe? or a backing piece to a quilt?

MelissaK 01-19-2010 09:43 AM

? Table runner maybe?! That is one weird piece of fabric!

Sugarpumpkin 01-19-2010 09:54 AM

This would make a REALLY cute spring/summer 50's inspired dress!!

Judy Gail 01-19-2010 10:23 AM

Lining for a purse or tote.

I would use it in a purse...screems Marilyn Monroe to me....

cindyg 01-19-2010 11:11 AM

I agree with Judy - a tote.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 01-19-2010 12:09 PM

I see it as a skirt for a dressing table or possible an old style sink.

laadw 01-19-2010 12:12 PM

An apron.

nellie 01-19-2010 01:37 PM

purse,tote for beach,or a ladies quilt theme like if you make a purse quilt or purse and high heel shoes quilt theme ,or anything that has to do with a women,s theme

jewelps 01-19-2010 01:41 PM

if you know someone that is a hair stylist, you make a table runner for her booth

butterflywing 01-19-2010 01:42 PM

zippered cosmetics bags for gifts.

sewaholic 01-19-2010 01:43 PM

Yes I agree cosmetic bag or jewelry case, but I wouldn't want it.

momto4 01-19-2010 01:45 PM

I see it as curtains in my daughters room. She loves old hollywood and those would definitely bring the glamorous feel. Otherwise...I dont think I would use it for anything else.

Elisabrat 01-19-2010 01:46 PM

agree with lisa.. the dresser skirt would work.. also a lined basket for girlie things in the corner, table etc.. "interesting" fabric... would have trouble using it in my cowboy home!

MamaBear61 01-19-2010 02:12 PM

I agree with Elisabrat, doesn't suit my cabin type decor, but I can see a "diva" quilt

Oklahoma Suzie 01-19-2010 03:20 PM

I don't think I would use it.

beachlady 01-19-2010 03:48 PM

Are those cigarettes in the fabric? That would turn me off.

nellie 01-19-2010 04:00 PM

i would use it, ,you can't always judge a fabric by it,s style or color but how you use it

nellebelles 01-19-2010 08:32 PM

I don't know what you would use it for, but it reminds me of my grandmother. She always used one of those cigarette holders when she smoked. I think she did so that her fingers would not get stained from the tobacco. She smoked pretty much non-stop. Funny thing, well, not really funny, but ironic--she died on one of the Great American Smoke-Out days. :shock:

wvdek 01-19-2010 08:39 PM

I agree with RedGarnet and butterflywing.

Seems to me I saw some Audrey Hepburn fabric somewhere or was that something else? I dunno.

My thoughts exactly!

good for using for one of those fabric boxes - for keeping jewellery in

Reminds me of Cruella DeVille from "101 Dalmations"

That was my first thought too...I just watched 101 dalmations a couple of weeks ago with my grands :D:D:D

MistyMarie 01-20-2010 09:51 AM

I have to agree about the cigarettes in the fabric. This really limits who would use this, since it definitely sends out a message of glamour, yet cigarettes are anything but glamourous.

Ok, I wanted to show that one fabric, separate from the rest of the collection... which is called "The Saturday Evening Post Norman Rockwell - Flirty Fifties" by Quilting Treasures. It's another "future" group.

Here's what else is in the collection. So... does it make more, or less, sense than before?

Here are a few more:

Lostn51 01-20-2010 08:31 PM

Now it makes all the sense in the world! Myself being "Lostn51" I can relate to this era and would probably buy the fabrics and use it for a quilt project.

Great liner for a bag/purse of some kind.

All great ideals. I have a granddaughter that is a REAl diva. Using it to make some kind of wall hanging. Maybe the borders.

sewgull 01-21-2010 09:01 AM

This would make a great quilt or lap quilt. Use black and red with the print as the third color. May want to use a little white.

janice4 01-21-2010 09:30 AM

I like in a purse, or cosmetic travel bag

maggiemuggins 01-21-2010 09:48 AM

My vote is for a tote or jewellery pouch...quilt fabric for a quilt with design girls machine embroidery on it??
