yes i wish u were to hugs
Try candle wraps or autumn leaves!
Check out Day Style Designs for Trapunto Quilting. I have been trying to find some suitable organza for the pattern I purchased from Leah Day, but every time I order some it ends up out of stock. Now I know where it all went. Apparently to your house. LOL. Have fun.

Fun!
There are so many things you can do.
You could make dress-up skirts for little girls. You could use it to dress up a plain dress (re-assembly required) lol
It can be used as an underlay for many projects. I have a large roll -- so I might try using some to stabilize a design on my sweater -- IF I ever get time for that project.

I think a friend of mine used it as stabilizer and burned it away with a burning tool...It was a topper, I believe. Example: Christmas ornament overlay and burn around the design?

Go to google - type in Organza Swing Blouse - then scroll down to "Images of Organza Swing Blouses". They are very popular now - open in the front - no buttons - wear over another blouse or dress. The prints would be especially nice for this - Patrici

What a fantastic surprise!! You could make just about anything your imagination allows. I would probably use it for applique, for one, since it is so light, it gives just a hint of color to a piece. Organza is also used in screen printing if you are interested in that. You have some nice colors there. Enjoy. :)

You can make an early start for next Christmas . make your self & family a new door wreath each, green for leaves red & white for pointsetters etc. Also table centers. If the stitching is done they can be put together when you have a helper (sorry I have missed what you have wrong with your hand.Hope it is better soon) also make a set for who gave the Organza. The swing blouse sounds good as I have one but need more in different colours, they would use a lot of material. Best of Luck.

Such nice, vibrant colors! Do you know who left it at your door,who it is from? Whoever it was, sure glad they thought about you! I like the flowers that chefin posted here, the girls wear them on those stretchy hairbands, but making this would just take a small amount of these bolts.Whatever you do,we will be watching for it in Projects-Toogie

oh boy i still don't know where to start
yes i know were it came from .A lady bought it thinking it was fabric to make things for her church.it was on sale for three dollars a yard.
Well noone knew how to use it so it sat there for a few years till someone said .I know someone who sews lots .she will love it. (i have never met her)So she gave it to her daughter to give to me.that is my friend Deneige at our post office. So i got all this from someone i don't even know.Thats God right??
Now i think he will show me what to do with it .
So i will wait and sew a little lol

WOW! WOW! WOW! I'd be making some of those gorgeous little girl's frilly ruffled organza petticoats. Our girls have them and they are selling like hotcakes over here in Australia.
The other thought I had was for costumes for special events. I don't know if you know anyone in the theatre, but all sorts of fabrics are utilised for costumes.
I too love those Organza Angels from Criswell! Only thing is you have so many colours to make them from!
Good luck with whatever you do Carolyn - someone must think you've got plenty of time on your hands! he he! Hope your hand is healing well. Love Chris
P.S. The website for the Pettiskirts has lots on there, but I saw this one too and thought you could use different fabrics as well.

Carolyn , I am green with envy! I spend lots on organza as I use it as stabilizer for many of my ITH projects and for quite a lot of FSL decorations and other products that don`t require much stiffening. Instead of dissolving or cutting the stabilizer away from my finished embroidery, I carefully burn the organza close to the edge of the embroidery, using a small tipped soldering iron. The only problem with using a soldering iron is it is too hot for polyester embroidery thread but is fantastic with rayon thread.
The other use I make of coloured organza is making 3D flowers- great for brooches, hair decorations and wreaths etc.
You are soooo fortunate to have a considerate and giving friend.
Hope this helps - Barb.

How about bags for lavender or potpourri to hang in clothes cupboards
You could do flat ones to put in underware drawers.
Mind you there's going to be a lot of bags...LOL...
Good luck X

I'd never be asking a question like that. I'd be touching, feeling and hoarding it. I love to make toile candle wraps out of this stuff. Also embroider and make seasonal glass jar covers. Lucky you, I know you will make lovely things. I bought an applique pattern that would make lovely leaves out of this. I'm jealous.

I can't tell by looking, perhaps you could make some skirts, if the fabric feel right, (for summertime wear) wow! nice surprise.

The second video shows how they are knotted, the technique is called Furoshiki and it is very funny.

Oh my! I just paid $5 for a yard. UGH! I enjoy working with organza now that I liquid stabilize it. I use 2 layers as applique material to give projects a bit of sparkle, certainly it is not as much as angelina. I use organza as a base with the angelina.

Oh Carolyn you lucky girl. I use organza to stitch out designs that were not digitized for FSL (using water soluble stabilizer) then cut close to the outside stitching and end up with a design that looks like FSL. Good luck with your new stash.
