Friday Fun Day... and a little Terrain Giveaway

Friday, July 8, 2011
Hi Everyone,

It is Friday Fun Day... you know what that means... a super tutorial from one of my fellow Creative Consultants For The Quilted Fish....

My market roomie and one of my bestest friends, Sally, made this adorable scrumpteousness for you to try. Go on over to The Quilted Fish and find out how she did it. You could be snuggling with this soon.


Did someone say giveaway and Terrain in the same sentence? Oh it might have been me... you see I have this:

Isn't it pretty? I simply cannot wait until it shows up in bolts for the shop. I can't giveaway the whole fat quarter bundle because I do have to make some samples with it, but I am going to draw two winners next Saturday the 16th of July to win two 5" charm packs a piece. I will cut the charms myself. There are 38 fabrics in this collection so that will be 76 charms in each pack. Whadya say? Do you want some?

Rules:
This one is a little trickier (I am trying to decide on one more Moda collection to bring to the shop this fall) so click here click on the blue scissors under the tags for Flora, Ruby, and Summer House (it will open a pdf with pictures of the fabrics) and tell me, in one comment, which two you like best. Try to keep in mind what I have in the shop now and the esthetic that I am trying to maintain as well. You guys get to have a peek into my process this way and I get to consider your input :) Giveaway is open until midnight Friday night the 15th of July.

Don't forget to enter to win some Little Apples you have until midnight tonight to get in your comment. I have so loved all of your 4th of July and holiday stories.

Good Luck Everyone!

Talk soon....

  24. I like ruby and summer house the best out of those options. Summer house has both traditional and more modern prints/colors in it - and ruby is just fantastic all around :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Summer House!!! Flora!!! (I really like Ruby, too, but there's so much available in that color combo/style)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  31. I really like the Flora fabric, so bright and colorful and reminds me of summer. I also like the Ruby, it reminds me of going on a picnic :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. Summer House
    2. Flora

    LOVE the Terrain and can't wait to get some on my cutting mat!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm so excited about Terrain, Kate Spain is one of my absolute favorite designers (love the free pattern she created too for Terrain).

    Out of the three collections I would say Ruby and the more I look at Flora the more I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I say Flora and Summer House!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  36. RUBY!! RUBY!! RUBY!! Chant with me!! LOL! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm thinking flora and summer house however you can't go wrong with any of them :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. My first choice is Ruby, aaannd second... RUBY! Sorry, it's my favorite!!! It is THE line that I have been dying for, since all of the quilt market pics (also Children at Play by Sarah Jane Studios). I know you want them to coordinate with the style of your other fabrics in the store, but wouldn't you like to have variety too? I have bought a few fabrics from your shop (and love their style) and I still love Ruby, even if it seems too traditional for the rest. And then you never know, you may also attract more of a variety of customers (which of course equals more sales, I really think Ruby is going to be VERY popular).


    If you really want a second choice, I say Flora, I really love some of those prints!

    Btw Julie, when I saw your tutorial on Quilted Fish last week, I thought it was cute but didn't pay much attention because I wasn't interested in a 4th of July table runner just now, but when I saw it again today, I really noticed the stars! I love that block!!! Absolutely adorable! I think I may try a quilt with just those (or some variation/combo). Thanks for sharing it!!! And I also love all the white space in Sally's quilt, so maybe your stars mixed with lots of white space? We shall see!

    ReplyDelete
  39. My favorites are Ruby, for sure, and Summer House. I think Ruby fits in perfectly with your shop aesthetic, it's not too traditional looking and has some great designer elements. The same goes for Summer House, it's just not my favorite. But it does have some pretty nice prints.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Flora and Ruby! The big prints in Summer House, not so much. Great giveaway!

    Linda

    ReplyDelete
  41. I really like the Flora and Summer House best!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Flora and Ruby - Flora is whimsical and modern - Ruby is "solid" and modern. Summer House has too large of a scale for my taste, though some of the prints are pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Out of those three, I like Flora the best (especially in the reds and yellows) followed by Summer House! Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Whew! Tough decision here! I absolutely love Flora, and had a difficult time picking between the other two. I actually like the large scale prints in Summer House, and I think they lend themselves to some neat projects! I guess that would be my decision. Thanks for the chance to win some charm packs!

  45. I didn't read every single comment, but since I don't have a quilting program, I had to click on the green scissors (instead of the blue ones). Anyway, I am swayed by my color preferences, so I will just state my opinion - Ruby for sure, and Summer House. I do not like Flora (I'm sure there are many who would, though). Hope these comments help you out, chickie. You're doing a great job at keeping us informed on whats out there!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ok this is great, getting to help choose. I am going to go with Summer House as my first choice and Ruby as my second. Thanks for giving us the chance to win ome terrain!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I am absolutely in love with Ruby and Summer House. I would think they complement your shop nicely. Such fun colors make me want to cut fabric. Thanks for a chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I like Flora and Ruby best!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I definitely think Ruby, but I honestly can't pick between Flora and Summer House :( I've been thinking about it all day too lol!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Your kidding I have to choice two, I love all three. OK, if I must it is Summer House hands down first. Love the aqua prints, perfect for my project I am working on right now, and I was going to go shopping tomorrow for fabric, when you will have it this month I don't think so. Second choose is Flora, love it also. just in time for later in the year to sew another wonderful summer project in time for the following spring. Girl, you are making this way too much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I love Flora, and Ruby! Thanks for the chance to win some of that pretty Terrain!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Ruby is my favorite, then probably Flora but when I look at your shop I think Summer House would fit right in. Thanks for the chance to win :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. flora and summer house. I feel an aversion to ruby because I think quilters are beginning to tire of the aqua/red combo and it will be a 'goner' by autumn!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Such a great giveaway! I'm dying for September to get here because I am so in love with Terrain. I vote for Ruby and Flora. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love Ruby - think I might have to get some or at least put it on my wish list! I think I'd then also go for Flora, but it is a tough choice!
    Hope that helps!

    ReplyDelete

  64. Of these three, I prefer summer house and flora. I love looking in such detail at all the fabric lines!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  66. Flora & Summerhouse please! As much as I love the Ruby line I don't think it works well with what you have already. LOVE the Robin egg blue in Summerhouse. YUMMY!

  99. I'm sure Ruby will be another big seller, altho personally, I'm sick of red and aqua together, it's everywhere. And Summer House looks like your style, love it!

    ReplyDelete
  100. My favorite is Ruby, followed by Summer House.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I like Ruby. I thought I liked Summer House until I saw something made from it with all the prints together. It was a little busy, but I still like several of the prints to use individually for smaller projects. Thanks for the giveaway. I am so excited about Terrain and I can't wait to get some!

    ReplyDelete
  102. I LOVE Flora and Summer House comes in second. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  103. I still like red and aqua in combination (not sick of them at all, like one commenter suggested!!!) so Ruby is my favourite collection, followed by Summer House. I think they will work well with your current shop selections/aesthetic! I am drooling over that pile of Terrain... hope I am the lucky (and I mean VERY lucky!) winner.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I definitely think Ruby will work well, it's so gorgeous!!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'm partial to Flora and Ruby. I hope that helps. I would love to win some Terrain.

  106. Flora and Ruby are my votes. Summer House is pretty, just a little over the top to make it in my favorites list. Thanks for the AWESOME giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Definitely think Ruby and Summer house are the two best and the two best for your store.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  112. I really like Ruby. Thanks for the chance to win : )

    ReplyDelete
  113. I love Ruby but flora is very cute too.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Ruby is my favorite followed by Flora. Summer House has too large of a scale for most quilts (especially my scrappy ones) to show off and it makes me think of wallpaper.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Ruby is my favorite and I like Flora too. Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  125. I like Flora and Ruby the best. They seem to have a lot of votes here. Although I can think of some good uses for a larger print too.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Tough choice. I absolutely LOVE Ruby, and the tough choice - I'll have to pick Summer House.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Great site. I like Flora and Summer House.
    stamppedlr@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  128. I like flora and summer house for the saturated colors, although ruby is nice too. Ruby feels more like a vintage-inspired line or like something that my grandmother would have used for quilting. Its pretty (aqua and red!), but not really my usual aesthetic.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I would have to say Ruby and Summer House :)

    ReplyDelete
  130. 1 = Ruby
    2 = Summer House
    3 = Flora

  135. Is it too late for me to enter?
    I am just now catching up with everything I missed online in the past weeks :)
    As to the two collections, I think Ruby and Flora would be quite lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I love Summer House and Ruby. They are just great collections, I definitely love the color choices so i would go with them.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I didnt see Summer House on the link provided but I did find the line elsewhere. I also saw it in a local quilt shop. I have to say that the fabrics in this line are very pretty. I especially love the greens and blues. My other choice but not necessarily 2nd is the Flora line. I am liking the green and red/orange colorways there. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  138. If it were me I'd pick Ruby and Flora, but especially Ruby. Love that line. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
