I haven't even heard of this line. It is lush!
ReplyDeleteI love all of Camille's patterns! So fun and lend themselves well to a variety of fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteI like a lot of the Thimble blossom patterns, but have never actually followed a pattern for a quilt. Maybe it's "last year", but I'd still like to make a swoon quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner and thank you for hosting. I don't have a specific designer as I like to design myself - koodos to those who publish.
ReplyDeleteFor the longest time any time I had to make a quick quilt I used the Yellow Brick Road pattern by Terry Atkinson as it was a quick and easy pattern to make. I also love Kimberly Einmo's patterns. They too are easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteI have my go to designers. Tula Pink, Pat Bravo, Kate Spain, Anna Maria Horner, Joel Dewberry and I love Coquette by Chez Moi. Mostly I love their colors and the richness of their designs. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Fig Tree Quilts for their versatility.
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of the Cluck Cluck Sew quilts. Simple, but with impact. :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really love Kate Spain. I think the colors are so bold and beautiful...not to mention bright...and I'm drawn in by their cheerfulness!
Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
Can't say i have a fav though i did really enjoy working with a couple of kate spain's collections.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite pattern designer (I'm too new to quilting!).
ReplyDeletesuch pretty fabrics! thank you for a chance to win some.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite fabric designer.. sorry
I like Thimble Blossoms patterns. They're pretty and not too hard.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of patterns - for bags I go with Heather Bailey or Amy Butler. For quilts, I have a few Thimbleblossoms, a few From the Heart and alot of free ones that I downloaded from the Internet. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteAtkinson designs......I can always understand their instructions.....
ReplyDeleteCongrats Karen!!! Another awesome giveaway!!! I have a few favorite designers, Julie Herman, Rachel Griffith, Allison Harris, Rita at Red Pepper Quilts, Jeni Baker, Elizabeth Hartman and Kimberly Einmo,(love their modern re-cut friendly patterns) and Kim Deihl for her rich country and applique quilts!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made enough quilts to have a favorite, yet. I am inspired by so many, though! Thanks for the chance to win this fabric!
ReplyDeleteI like Modern Quilt Relish, Row House Creations, Rita at Red Pepper Quilts, and Atkinson Designs for patterns, when I don't come up with it myself.
ReplyDeletecan't say that i have really used another's pattern. i usually design my patterns specifically for the person it is going to. although, i do really like julie herman. i've met her a few times, and she is simply delightful.
ReplyDeleteI like the It's Sew Emma line, they look doable and not intimidating to begginers like me, and I like their clean modern lines.
ReplyDeletehavent really used too many patterns except the simpliity ones at walmart. and some of the amazng pdf printable ones on etsy
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in this line! My fav pattern designers are Rita from Red Pepper Quilts and Elizabeth from Oh Fransson.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Elizabeth Hartman!
ReplyDeleteGreat prints! I like to sew bags. I've used patterns from different designers. I love Kay Whitt's patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love Oliver + S patterns - I love the quick satisfaction of sewing clothes for my kids and their patterns are all adorable without being fussy.
ReplyDeleteI also like the It's Sew Emma patterns, Jaybird Quilts and Cluck, Cluck Sew...pretty sure they've all been mentioned a bunch of times!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner and thanks for the chance, I would have to say I really love Red Pepper Quilts!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. I just found your site and I am sew happy that I did. Wonderful fabrics! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite designer is Jess Smith of The Quilt & Needle. I also love Carrie Nelson's Miss Rosie's patterns ... and many others. Sew many quilts; sew little time ... ;) Pat
I like Atkinson for quilts, Oliver+s for clothes, and noodlehead for bags.
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Oh boy, pattern designers. Honestly so often I just use online tutorials that aren't really by the big name designers. I do love Denyse Schmidt though, for her modern but simple style.
ReplyDeletei have had a couple from Noodlehead they are good !!the bundle of fabric is gorgeous too !!
ReplyDeleteI am still learning all the designers, mainly by following your site and all the other associated bloggers. I do love Amy Butler and Heather Bailey, but I'm seeing all these others, and I just drool over them.
ReplyDeleteHI! LOVE FIG TREE PATTERNS>"SALT WATER TAFFY" IS A FAVORITE OF MINE.LIKE THE VARIETY OF PATTERNS AND THE EASE OF ASSEMBLY. THANKS FOR SHARING@
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
For clothes it is Patty Young, Noodlehead and Make It Perfect. For quilts, I love Tula Pink and Elizabeth Hartman.
ReplyDeleteGosto de muitos,mas...Camille &Bonnie,Pat Bravo,são o máxximo para mim.Obrigada pela pequena chance.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI really like Riley Blake, the colours are very rich and the designs are fabulous and fresh.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance
I'm not sure of a favorite designer as I usually go with books and blogging tutorials. Though, I love Jeni Baker's bags, Elizabeth Dackson's quilt patterns, and I love using a book of blocks from Elizabeth Hartman.
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics! well my favorite "designer" is electric quilt! :-)
ReplyDeletemy honest answer is i do not have a favorite designer at all! i really shop fabric that strikes my fancy. i hope that counts!!! thanks.
ReplyDeleteI just bought my first sewing machine in August, so I am very new to all things sewing. Because of that, I don't have any favorite pattern designers yet! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many I love! But I think one of my favorites is Melody Miller. Love all of her retro prints - especially the typewriters
ReplyDeleteI really get inspired by Carrie Nelson, Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Her schnibbles are so cute. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThere are just so many....right now I am working with Kansas Troubles...I like it a lot.,
ReplyDeletefor quilt designs I love the work of Elizabeth Hartman and for fabric design I am always intrigued with Jason Yenter's work, not sure that I spelled his last name correctly. Love this fabric line you are giving away.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics! I don't really have a favorite pattern designer but I'll pick Elizabeth Hartmann since I basically learned to quilt from her patterns.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric! My favorite quilt/sewing pattern designer is Elizabeth Hartman - her patterns are always so well written and detailed and I love everything she makes. My favorite fabric designer is Monica Solorio-Snow. Her fabrics are gorgeous and I love everything she makes. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI love so many designers and their lines, but Sweetwater's designs always hold special appeal.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have a pattern designer that I love. I do have to thank Carol Doak for the early life of paper piecing. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust in case you were asking about fabric designers (not pattern), I don't have a favorite among them either. I have been collecting Debbie Mumm Halloween fabrics over the years though.
Thank you for a chance to win. :-)
There are alot of wonderful designers. I have always loved Cluck Cluck Sew - maybe because of the clean lines!
ReplyDeleteI love looking at all the patterns, but the only ones have ever really followed was Curious Nature by David Butler. Otherwise I just go with what I feel for the most part. Love those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI haven't found a designer that I don't at least like something. But I would say Amy Butler is one of my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt is way too hard to pick a favorite, plus my tastes change too often! I can't even decide on a favorite color!
ReplyDeleteI like many pattern designers. Love the clear directions of Cluck Cluck Sew, and love Elizabeth Hartman too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to sew is bags, and my favorite bag patterns are by Noodlehead. Her Go Anywhere Bag is my current favorite!
ReplyDeleteI seriously do not have a favorite! I have yet to find a fabric that I don't like at least some aspect of it! I love fabric...plain and simple.
ReplyDeletesowingstitches [at] gmail [dot] com
btw
are those peacocks teasing us in those beautiful stacks of fabric?
Thanks for this great give-away! My fave quilt pattern designer is Elizabeth Hartman. She puts such a cool modern spin on things using traditional quilting methods. And all her patterns are easy to follow. She rocks!
ReplyDeleteDear Julie,
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite pattern designer... sorry :(
Thank you for the chance to win that pretty bundle !!
I love Elizabeth Hartmann and Julie Herman - great designers! I adore this line of fabric w/ the lovely peacocks- really pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteAtkinson Designs patterns are always well written and cute. But I also use my own designs and things I find online and in books.
ReplyDeleteI am one of the many that doesn't have a favorite designer :( I typically just buy a pattern because I like it, not because who designed it. However, I have several patterns by Eleanor Burns and Kate Spain. Thanks again for another terrific giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many talented designers,it is hard to pick just one, but I would pick Elizabeth Hartman. Love her designs.
ReplyDeleteI love Pat Bravo! Her designs are always so rich, colorful, and fun!
ReplyDeleteOh bother (lol) I am sew new to all this I do not know pattern designers really. I know abough Snoodle (spl?) and I like those patterns. :)
ReplyDeleteIn terms of fabric designers, Kaffe is my all time favorite. As for quilt patterns, I design my own and am beginning to publish my own patterns but I do like Elizabeth Hartman and Weeks and Ringle's designs
ReplyDeleteFrippery is so nice - I love the cheery colors! As for pattern designers, I couldn't tell you. I like to make up my own patterns, so I read patterns (mostly in books) to learn about construction techniques, but I don't actually use them!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colors!! I especially love the oranges. So rich. I am too new to sewing/quilting to have a favorite yet. I just recognize pretty when I see it! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
i love amy butler patterns, because i love their fabrics! thanks for the giveaway!! cute the "pavo real" !
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Karen! One of my favourite Pat Bravo for fabric and Carrie Nelson for patterns. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteFor a beginner quilter like myself, I have had best luck with Atkinson patterns. They are clearly written with simple illustrations that are perfect for my calibre of quilting at this point! awolk at rogers dot com
ReplyDeleteI love Thimble and Blossom quilt patterns! What lovely fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteI've only ever bought Thimble Blossoms patterns, so I guess that would have to be my answer. christina112358 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI love cloud 9 fabrics
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I prefer to make my own patterns for quilts. I am more of a renegade than a follower when it comes to making things. I prefer to go my own path.
ReplyDeleteI love Bonnie and Camille designed patterns. They showcase their fabrics beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI have been designing a lot on mt eq 7, I have liked some of Tula pinks material and I bought her book for a pattern my daughter liked,
ReplyDeleteI haven't made anything from a pattern yet, but I have one from Elizabeth Hartman's first book on my "to do" list. And I think the ones in her second book are super fun and challenging, yet still approachable. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm very new at quilting so don't yet have a favorite designer. The fabric line is very nice.
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome giveaway! My favorite pattern designer is Allison from Cluck Cluck Sew. So easy to follow, and I like that they're traditional looking, but definitely have a modern look to them too...a good combo! amhalverson(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like someone is gatherin' a shopping list! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like Lori Holt's patterns for applique (Bee in My Bonnet),
I like both Cotton Way and Thimbleblossoms
Anna Marie Horner, Jaybird Quilts,
I love the Scoop Tote by Green Bee Patterns,
Pat Bravo
and on and on and on.. hahahahah
I love them all!
So difficult! But I love Aneela Hoey, Pat Bravo, Lu Summers..... I could go on!
ReplyDeleteI love Fig Tree and Kate Spain...it is hard to chose a favorite! There is so much available!!
ReplyDeletecjpike at indiana dot edu
I like Thimble Blossoms patterns for the beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteI really love lots of Michelle/Keyka Lou's patterns:) As for quilts.... I have never made one yet so I dont know:p
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is Cluck Cluck Sew. Her patterns are not usually too difficult and look great when they are done.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used many patterns, but I like the looks of Julie Herman's quilts and all of Anna Maria Horner's designs.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite quilt pattern designer. My favorite pattern designer would be Made by Rae as she has designed several versatile patterns that are good for little boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteI sew more Bonnie Hunter patterns than any other designer, but I sure do buy a lot of American Jane patterns!
ReplyDeleteAmy Butler would be one of my favorite pattern designers. Fan4may at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteHmmm - Ithink I have the most patterns by Michelle Patterns - lovely bags and such :) I love all sorts of fabrics - mostly yummy ones!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful selection of fabrics! Just a few of my favorite designers are Amy Butler, Pat Bravo, Anna Marie Horner, and Riley Blake. Love their colors and designs.
ReplyDeleteThimble berry has some beautiful patterens. I just have to get used to the authors of books and patterens. I see something I like and can't always remember who made them The material is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHard to pick just one. Aneela Hoey, Tie Dye Diva, and Atkinson Designs are all high on my list.
ReplyDeleteCamille Roskelley is one of my favorites. I love her use of color and clean design.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics - thanks for the chance to win. I love Erin Erikson's patterns, well written and easy to work with.
ReplyDeleteI love making bags/pouches and I find Michelle patterns the best in terms of clarity and lots of great tips that I use when I make other things.
ReplyDeleteOuuuu, colors! I love Tallgrass Prairie Studio :) because her designs are so involved and I can see lots of different designs in them :)
ReplyDeleteI really like Anna Maries feather pattern - been wanting to try that one. I also love Cluck Cluck sews patterns, very easy for a beginner like me to follow. And Fig trees are great patterns. Also Eleanor Burns has some great patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love Julie Herman's patterns. They are fresh and modern.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick one, it would be Kate Spain. Her work is so optimistic and cheerful! Your pretty showcased line has a lot of possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI like Carrie Nelson's Schnibbles patterns - because she uses precuts. And since she has such a variety of patterns, I know I'll find something I want to make. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCluck Cluck Sew, hands down. I also like a book called Quilts Baby, the MBS book, and Sunday Morning Quilts. I think I prefer books to patterns. I also just bought the Tula Pink Field Study Pattern. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI don't know enough pattern designers yet as I'm a newbie, but I do love Amanda Herring's lines.
ReplyDeleteI am not big on buying patterns but I just bought one after about 15 years, it is 3 Infinity Scarves by Making Rebecca Lynne. I just made one and blogged about it here: http://www.intheboondocks.blogspot.com/2012/10/infinity-scarves.html
ReplyDeleteSo funny to be asked that question today must be fate.
Pretty bundle! I have quite a few Thumble Blossom patterns (by Camille) and I would say Cluck Cluck Sew's are a close second. Although I love the look of Fig Tree patterns (and I have a few) I find the instructions/fabric requirements confusing. Camille and Allison are straight forward. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner!!
ReplyDeleteHard to pick one,but one of my favorite designer is Bonnie Hunter,love the way she uses scraps.
I love Terry Atkinson's patterns. Her clear directions and easy methods make them quick, but interesting. Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill offers beautiful applique patterns. Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's quilts has great patterns for pre-cuts and so do Pam and Nicki Lintott.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't make quilts from patterns - I design for myself, for the fun and challenge of it.
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite pattern designer is the company farbenmix.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like Colette, Oliver+S and Japanese pattern.
Greetings,
Tina
I have to admit to not having a favorite. I jump around too much to pick just one! I love looking at patterns/books and using them for inspiration to make up my own design, as well. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love Camille from Thimble Blossoms.
ReplyDeleteShe has the best patterns and fabric!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to see the creativity of people who post tutorials online!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a favorite pattern designer. I only have a few patterns and those were all given to me as gifts.
ReplyDeleteThere are several, but Jaybird Quilts and Cluck, Cluck Sew are a couple of my favorites. I think I like them a lot because they are so contemporary and fresh without being too complicated.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Karen!
I love Crazy Mom Quilts' patterns. She is just so great when it comes to scrappy happy patterns. I seriously love these fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI like Camille Roskelley's patterns. I appreciate their clarity and especially like that she provides cutting diagrams to show how to get the right pieces out of certain cuts of fabric, and warns whether there will be very little room for error.
ReplyDeleteI love Camille Roskelly...Swoon and Spools are my favorites of hers. I love Crazy Mom. Seriously, I'd follow that woman anywhere quilty. And I also have a couple of V and Co. that I love too. I don't buy many patterns but these ladies are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough question. I like many of them, but I am going to have to say my favorite is Bonnie Hunter. I love the challenge and complexities of her quilts.
ReplyDeleteJulie from Jaybird Quilts as she puts a modern spin on some old patterns and Camille from Thimble Blossoms, always edgy and her fabrics always draw you into the pattern.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics and gorgeous colours! At the moment I am loving any of Australian designer Anni Downs' designs.
ReplyDeleteI seldom use patterns, as I like to fool around with putting scraps together better than anything else :) Kate Spain is my favourite fabric designer - love her colours and mix of fun and formal.
ReplyDeleteI love Patricia Cox patterns for applique and Verna Mosquera. Fig Tree comes up with some great designs as well! And I love Crabapple Hill...the list goes on and on.
ReplyDeleteI love all the Thimble Blossoms patterns!
ReplyDeletelove the bundles! my fav designers [can't name just one] amanda murphy, crazy old ladies and lizziebcre8ive!
ReplyDeleteI love Bonnie and Camille and Jay Bird Quilts.. Their patterns are fresh and fun.
ReplyDeleteAlso, regarding teh notions question of Monday, I'd love to be able to get my hands on Aurifil thread: the smaller spools, and I sew with white and off white so much, they are the main colors I'd love to get.
Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs is one of my favorite pattern designers.
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winner.
I don't have a favorite designer, I like too many of them to be able to pick a favorite! What I look for in a pattern is ease of assembly, clear and concise instructions, and if the sample is shown in delicious fabrics, so much the better. :) Thank you for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHow have I not seen that line before? I must be avoiding your coming soon page to save money :o
ReplyDeleteMy favorite designers - odd how they've changed so much in the last year - my recent bundle purchases instead of single print purchases says it all - Pat Bravo and Dena Designs for their bold bright designs, totally different from each other, but I love the bright cheery AND the bright funky...guess that means its obvious Tula Pink is also in my top three...
I like It's Sew Emma because they are traditional quilts. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy patterns by Atkinson Designs, Carrie's Miss Rosie designs, and Jaybird designs! I really purchase patterns by a variety of designers....but I own more of these ladies' patterns than any other designers!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric for your giveaway is so cheerful and fun!
My fave bag/clutch type patterns are from Michelle's Patterns, formerly Keyka Lou. She's got a variety of styles, her PDF's are clear with lots of pictures, her instructions are concise and I learn a lot from her. To top it off she provides hints, tips, and ideas of other ways to do things with the pattern in her blog. Fave quilt patterns are American Jane. They're neat designs to play with fabric and patterns. I'd love to get Kim McLeans patterns but they're out of my financial zone.
ReplyDeleteRiley Blake, for the florals in Black and white
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite designer, I am a too much green quilter, I really am at my first steps.
ReplyDeleteBut I can say I like flowers so much and bright colors
I have really only checked out Robert Kaufman patterns, mainly because I love his fabric selections, and I like downloadable patterns! Still need to branch out more.....but pretty new to quilting! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many fabulous fabric designers, how do you pick just one? Jennifer Paganelli, Amy Butler, Anna Maria Horner, Heather Bailey...and the list goes on.
ReplyDeleteDeborah
homemakerhoney @gmail .com
Are we talking about fabric designers or sewing pattern designers?
ReplyDeleteFor fabric I like Tula Pink, I think her designs are very fun and creative.
For the patterns I have actually only used a couple. One was Amy Butler, and the other was by Emmaline Handbags. Both were great for a beginner like myself and very pic heavy which I love. :)
I'm not using a lot of patterns these days, although I have the Oliver +S toddler backpack cut out and waiting...and several of the patterns in that book are on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteI like Amy Butler patterns for bags, but I also like to sew for my small children so I love Oliver + S and Figgy patterns as well. This line is so pretty, love the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteI love Cluck Cluck Sew and Schnibbles. I love Schnibbles because of the pre-cuts and I just plain old love Cluck Cluck Sew.
ReplyDeletei'm a Kate spain lover - gorgeous prints!
ReplyDeleteLotta Jansdotter, Pat Bravo and Tula pink for bright colours and groovy patterns
ReplyDeleteIf I can only pick one it would be Kansas Trouble fabrics....love the fall colors.
ReplyDeleteAmy Butler clothes patterns are a great fit! Love anything she does.
ReplyDeleteIf your talking about fabrics, I love most of the Riley Blake fabrics especially Amanda Herring. I get most of my patterns from quilt magazines.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who my favourite is but I just bought Tula Pinks new book and I love Jaybird quilts Jawbreaker pillow that I made from her pattern.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics :)
So far the only patterns I've used are by Camille Roskelly. Though I long to make one, I haven't yet tried her Swoon pattern.
ReplyDeleteI also love Denyse Schmidt patterns but have yet to try one. I have her recent book so it won't be long. And I've admired all the Single Girl quilts out there.
I also have a new book by Elizabeth Hartman and am keen to try some of her eager, understated looking quilt designs.
And oh ... Anna Maria Horner. I want to make some of her quilt designs, too.
Considering I get to meet Thomas Knauer this weekend at Sewing Summit, and I am in LOVE with Frippery, he is my answer!
ReplyDeleteI really love Jaybirds Quilts patterns
ReplyDeleteI really like Emily Cier designs - also Kate Conklin
ReplyDeleteI love Oliver & S 's designs. Scrumptious colours and pretty designs - altogether tastily perfect.
ReplyDeletedfne[at]peterjh[dot]wanadoo[dot]co[dot]uk
I like most of the designers for Riley Blake but I have wide ranging tastes. Those colors are to die for.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pattern designer has to be Amanda Herring. Second place: Edyta Sitar. Talk about two very different design styles! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love the moda bake shop designers... I know that's actually multiple people, but still. I love pre-cuts!
ReplyDeleteI like the Schnibbles patterns by Miss Rosie, also those by Jenny Dolan at Missoui Start. Quilts and the Moda Bake Shop chefs. Thanks for the chance at your wonderful giveway.
ReplyDeleteHeather Ross cause her designs are so cute and they are pictures which I like.
ReplyDeleteI tend to swoon over Red pepper Quilts' patterns as well, although I just bought Quilting Modern and love the quilts by Jacquie and Katie. Thanks for the giveaway of this delicious fabric.
ReplyDeleteI don't often sew from patterns, but I do like the way Pat Bravo has set up her patterns on CD's and DVD's. They seem so much more interactive that way.
ReplyDeleteI love Camille's patterns and Jaybird. Beautiful collection of fabric!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite designers is Bunny Hill. Just precious designs!! Be especially blessed, Kathy
ReplyDeleteI love vintage patterns. I think its because I can find them all the time for super cheap and they are awesome usually. thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI tend to improvise, but I love to drool over Jaybird. And Wendy Gratz has some very fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bundle of fabrics! I have lots of favorite designers, but my current favorite is Michelle's Patterns (formerly known as KeykaLou). Her purse patterns are great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bundle. I don't buy a lot of patterns but do have some by Camille Roskelley and some by Julie Hermann.
ReplyDeleteI love so many pattern designers. I love the look of Amy Butler's projects and I love working with Cluck Cluck Sew patterns.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to the online sewing community and shops so I'm just learning of all the great resources and patterns. The few that I have used are from my LQS, Smile Spinners....fast and fun projects!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics! I've purchased patterns from both Bonnie and Camille. Love their patterns! Thank you for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite designers are Thimbleblossoms and Cluck Cluck Sew. Both of these designers have patterns where they are versatile and show off great fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love Jamie Elfert's patterns - she blogs at L'Fair Quilts. her quilts always have such cute little pinwheels in them, and are very well designed. Then I always love quilt designs by Elizabeth Hartmann and AmandaJean Nyfert - practical, easy, modern, and so great for scraps, especially Amanda Jean's!
ReplyDeleteI like Julie Herman's patterns. I like her fun shapes and the fact that she includes so many size options.
ReplyDeleteI don't use quilt patterns (I like to make up my own), but it I had to choose I'd say that I like the look of Cluck, Cluck, Sew's patterns.
ReplyDeleteWow, hard question! Here are a few of my favorites, in no particular order:
ReplyDeleteThimble Blossom: They are a neat take on classic patterns done in a more up to date way
Jaybird Quilts: They are just so much fun! I am a sucker for new tools too, and her patterns usually have one to go with them
Fig Tree quilts: They are so soft and I love that she uses both applique and piecing in some of her patterns.
Thanks!
Sandy A
Jillily Studio is one of my favorites, also Melissa Corry of Happy Quilting. Fig Tree Quilts also has delicious fabric and patterns.
ReplyDeleteI like Kate Spain
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I'm like some of the others on here, I don't really have a favorite designer...I make things up as I go along and create my own stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pattern designer is Kay Whitt of Sew Serendipity! Her patterns and books are written so the beginner can understand the instructions! She is amazing!
ReplyDeleteOooh stunningly gorgeous fabrics! I love Cluck Cluck Sew's patterns, simple but always with a little something different.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite pattern designer is Elizabeth Hartman - I haven't actually made a quilt pattern by anyone else yet, though I have purchased Camille Roskelley's Swoon pattern & want to get started on it soon. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI don't really do much quilting, but for other patterns I love everything from Oliver + s and Leisl (the straight stitch society). I also like the Cottage Mama patterns (kids clothes), Clever Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty fabric line. Great giveaway. As far as pattern designers, my favorite is still Eleanor Burns. Her patterns are easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteI really do love Julie's(Jaybird Quilts)patterns also for the very same reason.
me gusta más el paquete de los naranjas, es uno de mis colores preferidos y seguro que sale un edredón muy alegre y colorido.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard about that line either. I love it. My favorite pattern desinger is Amanda Murphy...I absolutely adore her fabrics and her patterns aren't overly complicated but produce wonderful quilts that really showcase the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love anything by Kate Spain - the colours she uses are always amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love cluck cluck sew patterns and Fig Tree & Co patterns. Because they're pretty, of course! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI am not good on names but I do like Denyse Schmidt and Anna Maria Horner fabrics and love some of the patterns by For the Love LuLu Hale and Cluck Click Sews' Allison.
ReplyDeleteFavorite pattern designer, tough question, I like Jaybird Quilts, Fig Tree and right now I'm working on a Karen Brow applique quilt, hard but worth it.
ReplyDeleteI like Red Pepper Quilt patterns too. Simple and fresh looking.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used many patterns but I do have some from Noodlehead.
ReplyDeleteThimble Blossoms and Fig Tree both have great patterns that really showcase their fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love Kate Spain, Camille and Robyn Pandolph. This fabric is BEATUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteAmy Butler ~ colorful, fun
ReplyDeleteKaffe Fasset ~ bold, exciting, happy
Riley Blake ~ whimsical
Anna Marie Horner ~ modern, touch of boho
The list goes on and on . . . .
Love Fig Tree patterns. Thanks
ReplyDeleteRed Pepper Quilts patterns are so creative; thanks for chance! (EMAIL: marshudson at comcast dot net)
ReplyDeletei don't know her name but she did a simple life just recently
ReplyDeleteI just love fabrics...very difficult to choose a favourite pattern designer...I just can't help myself when I go into shops...have to touch all the fabrics. This line of fabrics is just gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteLorraine B
Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts
ReplyDeleteis one of many - I have one of her patterns sitting next to my PC right now.
Others: Pat Wys, Monica Dillard, Minick and Simpson, Kaffe, etc.
My favourite designer is MoMo - "Wonderland" was the first designer fabric that I really coveted when I started quilting (and it's her first collection too!) and she hasn't disappointed me in her later collections either. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThomas Knauer is actually my favorite because I love the way he pairs intellectual discourse with his design work (do you read his blog?). After that, I think Anna Maria Horner is unparalleled in how she layers color and pattern.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... this is a hard one! I usually don't buy patterns. I use the free ones from The Moda Bake Shop and others. But I did buy Camille's "Swoom" pattern and it was so much fun to make! I really like her other ones, too. I also like Jaybird patterns. They are fun and so different!.. These are beautiful fabrics! Thanks you for the give away!!
ReplyDeletewww.dewings.us/blog/
I love Colette patterns because they are chic, stylish, and excellent for different skill levels. They can be embellished or kept sleek and simple.
ReplyDeleteI rather recently came across the petite kids boutique and really like her patterns for kids clothes! they work great for my rather petite kids _:)
ReplyDelete
