Wow - all those gorgeous ribbons would certainly keep me going for a while!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the American Craft ribbon with the robot print:)
what a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the chenille dot ribbon - it would be great for trimming bags and purses
I like the nude neutrals or maybe the nude chenille dot for an ivory/cream/beige bib necklace I'm working on. Ribbons make great ties for necklaces, and this would add such cute variety!
ReplyDeleteI also like the velvet corduroy for a clutch or fun wallet.
You know they are all very lovely! However I think my favourite might be Marshmallow Violet. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I'd have to say I love the dotty ribbons best, cant beat polka dots! I've always fancied trying using ribbon as sashing on a very simple quilt...
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty hard to choose just one, but at the moment I'm feeling that turquoise grosgrain scalloped edge ribbon. I'd like to make a cute little red and turquoise bag trimmed/accented with it.
ReplyDeleteI would have to have 'love and hearts' to use as a 'zip pull' on my sock knitting kits. http://judiknitsandsews.blogspot.com/2011/03/busy-day-sewing.html
ReplyDeleteTurquoise chenille fat dot - it's so lovely I would feel the urge to trim everything, starting with cushions, then moving on to my children!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic competition - thank you for the opportunity!
Loving your site, the beautiful material and ribbon. My favourite ribbon is the turquoise fairy cake ribbon and I would love to make a new apron trimmed in that ribbon as a first project with my newly serviced sewing machine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I am addicted to ribbon as you can see http://christeaandcakes.blogspot.com/2011/02/ribbon-is-gonna-get-you.html
ReplyDeleteMy fave is the chenille dot ribbon. I would use it to make wrap around handles for the transparent bags Im currently making.
ReplyDeleteI love the AmericanRibbon 'Trees' design. I'd use it to trim dresses and hats for my doll collection :)
ReplyDeletewow - what an a-ma-zing competition ... I'm a real sucker for ribbon - and I am totally in love with the lace ribbons on your site ... any of the bright colours - red, blue, orange, lime, fuschia would be fantastic! :)
ReplyDeletehi love the site and what's on offer. american crafts umbrella ribbon reel is what I would love to have. thanks

Such adorable ribbons. I love the Petal Mod Blooms - my new little neice was born today so I am all set to make lots of pretty dresses and hairbands, which would be all the more special with these pretty ribbons.
ReplyDeleteLovely ribbons, I like the striped ones which would look lovely as trim on a little girls dress!
ReplyDeleteReally hard to choose a favourite but I think the Chenille dots would look fabulous on a funky cushion :)
ReplyDeletechenille Dot skinny in olive sage would be my choice. Love that colour and its spotty-ness. My bedside lamp needs a makeover so that'd be myribbon project. Mmm
ReplyDeleteAmericancraft - trees design. I'd use it with the Whimsy trees fabric and make lot of skirts ! xx

LOVE the Rosette ribbon. It would make really funky looking ribbon roses - especially in the lavender.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Big Dot in Pastel Green Green Dot ribbon! And the Grosgrain Stitched Edge ribbons. And all the ribbons!! They would make some BEAUTIFUL headbands!!! <3
ReplyDeleteCan I like two? I love the American Crafts 'Create' ribbon as its perfect for the craft folio I just made for my toddler daughter. And the 'Tiny Heart Big Love' in hot pink is perfect in name and nature for the same toddler daughter! So cute in her little piggy tails.... Anyway, need to order some of the aforementioned in my next stash enhancer order...love Seamstar forever!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just Wow!
ReplyDeleteI think I looove most the one with lots of muffins, by Kathleen Rietz. Thank you fo a great giveaway!
Ooooh I definately love Tiny Heart Big Love in Blue Mist, I would pretty much use it on every thing I made :D x
ReplyDeleteAmerican Crafts leafy - I think, but it is very hard to decide! Juliex
ReplyDeleteawesome competition and far far too many gorgeous ribbons to choose a favourite, but I'm going to pick the ivory coloured crochet trim for it's beauty and old-fashioned class.
ReplyDeleteI would use it as a trim on a lovely lacy ivory knitted cardigan for some old-style glam. (but don't hold me to that cos I'm forever changing my mind on what to knit!)
I'd use the Black Twill ribbon to upcycle an old frame I have lying around looking sad. Wrap it round and round and, voila, a funky new frame for a photo of my handsome, soon-to-go-away-on-a-6-month-tour husband!
ReplyDeleteLove quite a few ribbons but the Solid Stitched Centre Ribbon is my favourite. Seems to be a bit quirky, bit French, bit vintage. Orange black is my favourite colour. Perfect
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway! My fave is the big dot in shocking pink. With all these scrummy ribbons, I would be spoiled for choice but I would start with creating some orgeous hair bows and hair accessories.
ReplyDeleteGreat site, have to love the velvet corduroy ribbon! Would have to trim a quilt with it - it would give a lovely soft feel!
ReplyDeleteOh my god! What a fantastic giveaway! Please, please, pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the twill ribbon - I'm sure it would look great on handbags.
I would choose the velvet cord ribbon to decorate bookmarks that I then send to my favourite rabbit charity for them to sell to raise funds for the special care bunnies.
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be the gorgeous floral felt ribbon - all colours! I'm covering an old lampshade right now with patchwork and they would finish it off perfectly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic giveaway! Please, pick me!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the twill trim - I guess it would look gorgeous on handbags.
I love the turquoise fairy cakes ribbon, they look so scrummy & just perfect for adding to gifts.

Such a wonderful prize. My favourite ribbon is the Rosette Ribbon Trim in yellow, so cheerful and bright :)
ReplyDeleteSweet giveaway!! I don't know if I like the Gingham ribbon or the cute gingerbread cookies more?!!
ReplyDeleteI would choose the velvet cord ribbon and I would use it to decorate bookmarks that I then send to my favourite rabbit charity, they then sell them to raise funds for 'special needs' rabbits.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so beautiful, but the one I'm really drawn to is the pale blue floral felt. I have a white pillowcase with blue embroidered flowers, which I'm going to make into a pillowcase dress for my daughter. That ribbon is the perfect trim for it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I didn't realise quite how much gorgeous ribbon you had! So hard to choose which I love the most, but I am smitten with the floral felt ribbon in light blue - I've never seen anything like it! I think I would incorporate it into a sweet summer top.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a giveaway! I just love the floral felt ribbon, and would use it to decorate my new black felt hat!
ReplyDeleteI love the red, white and blue ribbon. I would use it on a cushion for my little boys' first birthday
ReplyDeletei like the love in hot pink ribbon, it would be great for making hairbands for my daughter, she loves all things pink! @ashlallan
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what I couldn't do with all those lovely ribbons! My favourite is the Rosette one in red and I would use it to trim my daughters big pants that's she's wearing for a "sequin and fur" party she has next week. it would go so well with the sequins i'm adding to these rest of the pants!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool giveaway! I'm loving the red-white-and-blue ribbon. Would be perfect to make some cute little ornaments for the Royal Wedding! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. My favourite ribbons have got to be the nude neutrals they look so lovely all together. My mind is racing with all the ideas I could use them for!
ReplyDeleteI love the Floral Felt ribbon.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I use it for? Well .... I am organising a Flower Festival at my Church this coming May. Never done this before, so it is MEGA scary!
I would use it to decorate displays and use as edging for flower displays.
Thanks for such a generous give away. As my Church doesn't have a lot of spare cash, I would so love to win this to use at the Flower Festival :)
This was a tough decision - crocheted lace or velvet corduroy... The velvet corduroy won in the end as those colours are just yummy & perfect for trim on a skirt for my daughter :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a generous giveaway! Thanks so much for letting us enter this comp.
ReplyDeleteI love both the Floral Felt Ribbon and the Crochet Trim. They're great for edging on kids clothes, smartening up clothes for grown ups and adding a special touch to handmade fabric purses and bags.
what a fantastic giveaway! So many projects to use them on, infact, I think if I was lucky enough to win Id just add ribbon to EVERYTHING, just because I could hehe!
ReplyDeleteMy fave would have to be the owl ribbon, soo cute :-)
I like the American Crafts Tree one. I'd use it for my twirly skirts!
ReplyDeletenicky xx
My favourite has to be the gosgrain scalloped edge in apricot. I'm current kitting out my son's nursery in oranges and green and am sure I'd make good use of this in there.
ReplyDeleteI love the good old simple red, white and blue ribbon. We've just moved into a house that has seen better days. It's going to take a good few years to get around to the bedroom of my 2 toddler sons so I'd love to make them some cool cushions and bunting to help brighten up their dreary room. Patriotic or nautical feel..................hmmmmmm, this ribbon would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove all your ribbons - what a dream competition! Think my favourite is the turquoise cupcake ribbon - I would use it to make some pretty bunting!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the Floral Felt Ribbon Trim in Yellow. I would use it to simply look at and cheer myself up!
ReplyDeleteI love all the ribbons. I'm torn between what I would choose to do first. I want to make a statement to decorate my dull dining room wall and so one plan would be to cover a plywood board with hessian then criss cross it with Floral Felt Ribbon Trim in brown [R/1179]. I would also use a variety of ribbons to trim hearts to hang on the chair backs at my daughter's wedding reception in August. Guests will be able to take the hearts as souvenirs of a great day.

Wow, what a great giveaway, and I LOVE ribbons! :) My favorite is the rosette trim in yellow--gorgeous colour! I would use it to add to my hair bows, and maybe to wrap a basket. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! They're all gorgeous. I would have to choose the American Crafts Robots to make some bunting for my little boy as he keeps missing out to pretty things for his twin sister :) x
ReplyDeleteWow! What a giveaway. Thanks you.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the turquoise fairy cakes. I would use it in stripes to make a little coin purse

I love the American Crafts Robot ribbon... it would inspire me to create something for my 13 month old boy for once as his twin sister keeps getting all my creations!
ReplyDelete(I tried to enter this a few days ago but noticed my comment isn't showing... I'm not aiming to have two entries just one chance for the beautiful ribbon :)
I'd pick the gater ribbon, and I'd use it to create scrapbook pages of my holiday to Alabama next May :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I can't get enough of your heart ribbons and have used them before on my organisers http://www.flickr.com/photos/64525397@N00/5167058139/
ReplyDeleteWow! These set my pulse a go-go! I love the scalloped edge grosgrain so very much and would use it to make my bunting even prettier. Divine!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my passion: www.nola-gifts.blogspot.co.uk I have watched your site grow and grow and you have inspired me when taking the plunge to start up my own company recently x
There are lots I love, but my favorite would be the Patty Young Petal Mod Blooms! Thanks for another great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite ribbon is twill stipe in green, I love chevron stripes! I would use it for trimming cushions, bags, purses, bedding, tablecloths... anything I could get my hands on!
ReplyDeleteI entered this giveaway a few days back but my comment didn't register so please don't think I am entering twice if it suddenly pops up! Thanks.
I love the purple velvet corduroy - it is so decadent. And, I was told by my boss last week that 'I own purple' having a very purple heavy wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteThe scalloped edge grosgrain would be great for a bag I'm making.
ReplyDeleteWow! This prize has left my heart a flutter and my pulse a go-go! Love the grosgrains with hearts the best. I'd use them to create more lovely bunting and adorn pressies for pals.

I love the Floral Felt Trim Ribbon, especially in light blue. (http://www.seamstar.co.uk/floral-felt-ribbon-trim-light-blue-p-1866.html) I would use it around the bottom edge of a pretty summer skirt.
ReplyDeletei love the rosette trim in all its wonderful colours.lindsey
ReplyDeleteWah! Too many pretty ribbons to choose just one! If I had to, though, I'd pick the turquoise scalloped edge grosgrain, and use it with fresh white linen for a sweet little girl's summer dress. Or just stroke it. Probably the latter.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd entered this giveaway.... but I can't see myself :( so here I go again, I really love the floral felt ribbon, although I do love lots and lots of them, so it is hard to choose.
ReplyDeleteSue :)
My comments has disapeared too!
ReplyDeleteIm torn between two the butterflies in shell grey would look adorable on a demin dress and bag Im making, and the second the white floral felt ribbon would look stunning on my wedding cake :) so many to choose from and so many projects you could make
