Tracey from Quilt Me Happy got in touch with me a week or so ago to tell me about her new stock of hand-dyed fair trade fabric from Northern Uganda to add to my Guide to Buying Fair Trade & Eco-Friendly Fabric. As soon as I looked up the pictures and read about the fabrics, I did something I very rarely do (because I’m just not that cheeky!), and emailed Tracey to ask if there was any chance she wanted to do a giveaway to publicise this lovely range.
Can you see why I liked them? This (above) is the Summer Colours bundle that Tracey has put together. I confess that I haven’t seen these in person, but the pictures have me reaching for my credit card.. or at least emailing Tracey asking her to give some away to a lucky VB reader…
The fabrics are from an organisation called Akonye Kena (meaning ‘I will help myself’ in Acholi, a North Ugandan dialect), which works with young people in east Africa to train them in skills which will enable them to be self-sufficient (they also make baskets and paper beads – you can find them on Facebook just here, where you can find lots more lovely photos).
They are working to get into the wholesale market, and Tracey, after seeing their fabrics at the Houston Quilt Market last year, was impressed enough to take the plunge and stock the fabrics here in the UK.
Being the talented person that she is, Tracey has done some piecing and quilting to see how the fabrics perform. Here are the lovely results:
Tracey says that they are rather different from your average quilt shop fabric, because the weave is more open, and because they have no finishing products they have a soft, drapey feel (so great for summer dressmaking too!). In spite of the softness the fabric cuts and pieces well, and the upside is that the finished quilts have a lovely soft handle. She has also washed the quilts (and as you can see she used lots of nice contrasts!) and found that the dye retention is good – there is some dye release but the water runs clear after rinsing. She reports that shrinkage is quite high, so advises pre-washing. The fabrics are great value for a hand-dyed fair trade fabric at just £10 per metre for a 58″ inch width fabric.
Anyway, the upshot of all this is, Tracey said yes to the giveaway! So we are celebrating Fair Trade Fortnight, which we just happen to be right in the middle of, with a lovely feast of fair trade fabric.
The Giveaway
This is such a fantastic prize that I had to check back with Tracey that I had read it right… The winner will receive one each of the Seed to Sewer – Seasons bundles that Tracey is stocking… that is 4 packs of 10 FQS…. that’s it, 40 Fat Quarters.
The winner will also get (I know…!) a Fat 8th pack of these beautiful neutrals, called Bark and Berries (because they use natural dyes of course):
Just think what you could do with all these goodies!
The Rules
- To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post telling us what you would make if you were the very lucky winner.
- For a second chance to win, sign up to the follow Quilt Me Happy on Facebook, and leave a SECOND COMMENT saying that you’ve done so, or tell us that you are already a follower if you are. If you don’t leave a second comment I’m afraid that your second entry wont be counted.
- The giveaway is open to anyone anywhere (which is super-generous of Tracey so more kudos to her for that!).
- Because this giveaway is so marvellous I thought I would give you a couple of extra days, so I will do the draw and announce the winner on Wednesday 13th March, so best to get your comments left before midnight on 12th March.
Good luck!

I’d make a quilt to have on my bed, i’m in need of having something on my bed to add a little extra warmth and look to the room, making a quilt would be perfect.
Liked on Facebook.
I’ve always wanted to try quilting – my friend is having a baby in about 6 weeks, so I’d start with a cot blanket and maybe some scatter cushions.
A quilt
If I was lucky to win I would make a small cot quilt for my baby which is due in 5 months (plenty of time I hope!) and a wall hanging for their nursery. I have only recently taken up patchwork ( much to my mum’s delight who has been producing beautiful items for years) and hope to aspire to her skills! This bundle would definatley help me on that path
Cushions, cushions and cushions, I love cushions
I would like to make a quilt as well as some cushions for all the rooms in my house, even for the kitchen. Thank you!
I’d make an Frican style fabric hat after quilting it

“Very lucky” are the right words to be sure!!! This is an amazingly generous prize and and if I was the lucky one it would fit right in with my ethical making ethos, so I could use the fabrics in the crafts that I sell without compromising. Solids are so useful and I would use them to make a lovely drapey quilt or some cushion covers.

I’ve been wanting to make a quilt for a while now…my husband got me a sewing machine earlier this year but I haven’t had much chance to use it and I love the idea of a patchwork quilt. Unfortunately I have two sons who don’t really “get” sewing and fabrics, but I’d love to make a start on a quilt for my first future grandchild!
if i won i would love to start a quilt for my lovey wee granddaugter very first bed. i know she would be able to keep it forever
If I won, I would faint, then start making baby quilts! I have several friends who are pregnant & another little nephew on the way.
i would attempt a patchwork quilt as i have never done one before
I would make a nautical compass patchwork quilt!
I would make a family heirloom quilt.
If I won, my first project would be a cot quilt for my new little granddaughter, Holly, then maybe a quilt for myself!
i would make a quilt for my daughters bed

Wow, these are amazing! I am desperate to make another patchwork quilt so I would have to use these in my next quilt. I have also vowed to make one piece of clothing for each of us (me, hub, Bella and Will) by the time I’m 30 – I will have one year left on the 16th March so I’d make some super cute summer clothes for me and the kids!

If I won, I would make a huge quilt for my mum as a late (properly a very late) mother’s day present to say thank you too her for everything she has done for me. I’ve also nearly finished my GCSE textiles and I really want to try and make a wider range of things and improve my textiles skills.

I’d love to make a quilt – have only ever sewn small projects so far, so this would give me the incentive I need!
Wow, amazing giveaway. I first learned to see by quilting and always wanted to make my very own heirloom patchwork quilt that could be handed down thru the generations. I never got round to making it as I made lots of quilts as presents for friends and family. I then moved on to sewing garments. SO, if I won this, I would def make my dream patchwork quilt, finally!
My best friend in the whole wide world just got engaged, so I’d use the fabrics to make a huge quilt as a wedding present, along with some beautiful prints and patterns.
we moved into a new home recently, the previous owners were a lover of cream wallpaper and cream carpets…the rooms are all so bland. I’m trying to add a splash of colour to each room, so I think a new quilt for our bedroom would be in order and maybe some colourful placemats for the dining table.
thanks for sharing the story behind the fabric. I’m off to Facebook now.
FIngers crossed I really need to change my home!
Liked their fb:D
I need a new tote bag, so I would make that if I win:)

I just followed Quilt Me Happy on FB too. Thanks for such a great giveaway.
Wow, that is such a great giveaway. My sister had a fantastic couple of months staying in Kenya with her then boyfriend’s family a few years back, so if I won, I’d have to ask her if she wanted a quilt to remind her of Africa. I’ve made one for her 6 month old daughter, but never made anything for her.
I liked over on face book …particularly like the “Tubby Quarters” description. T Hopper
That’s so much fabric that I would have to share it with my quilt group….they make quilts for a local children’s hospice…and bags to raffle off.
I have started following Quilt me happy : )
Ohhh, they are beautiful! I have a lovely book of Zakka style projects that I am working my way through – these would be perfect! Thank you for the giveaway : )
What a great giveaway ! I’d love to make a quilt for sofa
Wow what beautiful fabrics and the colours are amazing. I have just started making bags with matching dolls peeking out of the pockets. This fabric would be great with some embroidery detail on it too.
Whoever gets this lot is very lucky! Those lovely bright colours would go very well with some vintage vilene I have so I’m thinking small applique cushions, also coin purses, phone cases… the list could be endless actually!
What a great giveaway Ali, such a faberooni addition to any sewer’s stash. For a start I would be a little OCD and keep them in graduating colour order and keep looking at them and folding them – then….. after all that I would love to make some sort of throw/quilt. Everything is crossed for this one xx
What a lovely giveaway! I am a beginner, so if I was lucky enough to win I would start by making some needlecases and make-up bags as gifts. Also my daughter is off to university later this year and will be studying costume design as part of her degree – I’m sure she would “borrow” some of these gorgeous fabrics to make something special!
Maybe some clothes or a lap quilt, or some cushions. So many choices!
I like Quilt Me Happy on Facebook

Wow what a great prize, I definitely see a beautiful gradated quilt!
Oh, and liked on Tracey’s FB page too…
Improv quilts do shout out but I see bags too – just seen a tutorial for a clever folded bag. It’s done in one fabric but I’d like to do a pieced version, especially as the seams would be nice and soft, not bulky, going by the fabric description.
Amazing giveaway!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! I’d love to do some bags, cushions, and lot of things!!!!
I liked on facebook too!!!!!
Beautiful colors.. I would def make a quilt for my husband.
I’ve already liked you on Facebook, btw.
Beautiful fabrics – I’m a dressmaker rather than a quilter, so I’d have to say some summer clothes for my daughter – I can see a lovely tiered dress, with graduated shades of fabric, or maybe some patchwork shorts. And since I’m planning to make a dress for Dress a Girl Around the World for every one I make for my daughter, this fabric would be particularly appropriate.
I am a follower, never miss a post.
Love the colours, I see a full size quilt and a cover for my blanket box and possibly cushions. One thing is sure not a scrap would be wasted.
I follow the facebook page. Thanks!
I think I’ll make a quilt for my sister…

I’m really not exactly sure but it would be a special quilt for my husband – he has worked in Uganda and absolutely loves the country. Julie
I’d use the wonderful fabrics for my final quilt for the City & Guilds course that I’m doing, much better than dying my own.
