I honestly don't know the reason. I might go try to find out now though. Maybe its for a Bible Verse...???
ReplyDeleteI think it stand for seeing a favorite movie 23 times!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is for the 23 ingredients in Dr Pepper.
ReplyDeleteI think they named it twenty three for how old you are Julie!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it stands for the number of times the designer redid their concept before they hit the perfect design.
ReplyDeleteI think there are twenty-three DIFFERENT tickets represented on the 'ticket' print. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIt's the number of grey hairs Eric counted on Julie's head.....or this is the 23rd line they. Have designed. I love their stuff BTW and will add this to my collection
ReplyDeleteI think Eric and Julie met on the 23rd of some month.
ReplyDeleteMaybe every quilt should have at least 23 fabrics in it. lisaursino@msn.com
ReplyDeletePossibly 23 different flavours of jelly beans? Yum! Fun giveaway!
ReplyDelete#23 anos de casada você tem?..eu não sei.Obrigada por abrir internacional,por aqui muito difÃcil encontrar .tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteBecause everyone finds at least 23 reasons to buy new fabric, although the stash at home is already higher than the Mount Everest?
ReplyDeleteIt's the age all women my age wish they still were? Nahhhhh, I really don't want to be 23 again. 55 is Fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteOne short of twenty four, so you have one hour to sleep. I do not know, it reminds me of a house number, like in an address particularly as the font mixes numbers with letters. Like the different types of numbers you see on homes. But seeing the movie ticket maybe it is a cinema allusion, such as the numbers flashing on the screen before an old fashion film starts.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Maybe 2wenty thr3e represents how many hours a day one should be sewing. :)
ReplyDeleteBecause it's the right time for the 9th Prime! ;)
ReplyDeletemaybe the fabrics are designed to show memories of 23 years together??
ReplyDeleteFun giveaway! Twenty three should mean the age I wish I was!
ReplyDeleteDon't really know reason...but love everyone's ideas!!! I'm thinkin' it means "You have 23 days to make me a coool quilt!!!" :)
ReplyDeleteTwenty three might be how many years they (Eric and Julie) have been married?
ReplyDeleteI promise I made my guess before I scrolled down the page! I'm guessing that Eric and Julie have been together for 23 years. (Although, that's not long enough for there to have been $3 drive-ins...)
ReplyDelete23 favorite flavors of ice cream, 23 favorite pair of shoes (notice I didn't say total pair of shoes) in their closet, the number of M&Ms they allow themselves every day, the nunber if cousins they have, how long they can go (23 hours) without calling their mother....
ReplyDeleteMaybe the 23rd design for this particular designer? Nice stuff! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaybe 23 is the age of the designer at the time of marriage.
ReplyDelete23 is the age adulthood begins and innocence is lost?
ReplyDelete23 is not too many chips to eat?
23 is a lovely prime number?
I think it stands for 23 is a wonderful age to be. You have the time to see all the new movies, your not too young and not too old yet. It does look like a really fun fabric line.
ReplyDelete23? Number of MORE hours I need in a day to get all my creative projects finished.
ReplyDeleteThe designer had 22 names for this fabric line before choosing the 23rd idea, thus the name 23
ReplyDeleteCould it be fore Michael Jordan's Bull's number? Or maybe for the 23 pairs of chromosomes that humans have? Or maybe that's the number of flavors Baskin Robbins was originally going to come out with before they discovered eight more flavors...who knows!
ReplyDeleteOh there are just so many possibilities! I just don't know.
Maybe it stands for 23 different tickets on the one fabric or that it will take you 23 days to come up with an awesome enough project to use it for!
ReplyDeleteTwenty three was Don MAttingly's number when he played for the Yankees!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe it was their 23rd date when he proposed marraige to her. Thats my big guess, cause I really have no clue.
ReplyDeleteconn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
The firs thing that came to mind was 23 Skidoo (sp).

ReplyDeleteI think it's the number of years Eric and Julie have been married.
ReplyDelete(karen.patrqiun@gmail.com)
There's a slang phrase "23 skiddoo", so it might be based on that. Cute fabric. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDelete23 is the average number of UFO's a quilter has!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric!
I think there are 23 different theaters represented on all those tickets!
ReplyDeletePlus, being 23 years old again wouldn't be so bad. ;)
cute fabric! maybe the age when Eric & Julie met? thanks!
ReplyDeletemy guess is one of them is 23 years old?
ReplyDeleteMaybe 23 tickets or her favorite 23 movies? Hopefully not the collection she ended up with after 23 tries...
ReplyDeleteMaybe she was 23 when she developed her love for fabric? So many possibilities!
ReplyDeletePerhaps 23 is how many times us newbies have to re do some of our sewing!
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is on the 23rd of April, so I'm going to go with it OBVIOUSLY being for my birthday, so I should win! ;) Also, I got in a car accident on January 23rd...so there's another reason? ;) Have a great weekend, Julie!

ReplyDeleteEvery girl has at least 23 pairs of shoes.

ReplyDeleteHmmm... movie tickets, cameras... maybe the way someone would celebrate their 23rd birthday? Haha obviously I have no clue. But I would LOVE to win :)
ReplyDelete23 is the number of Oreos you can eat in one sitting? (Ahem, I myself can stop at one or two!)
ReplyDeleteThe age I stopped having birthdays. :)
ReplyDelete23...the final hour Xx
ReplyDelete23 is the code word that let's y ou in free. Would love to win!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the 23 stands for how much 2 movie tickets and a small popcorn to share would cost, to represent their first date. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletea.ladyfarmer at yahoo dot com
23 was the number of my room in university halls of residence! Could it be '23 ways to convince yourself you need that fabric'? Like a quilt shop version of '50 ways to leave your lover'...
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yes, I'm now humming the tune and making up lyrics!!
23,the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime!

23 - the nuber of hours in the day that I'd rather be sewing!! Love this line :)
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric! I think 23 stands for 23 theatre venues, it looks like different famous ones on the ticket stubs. Maybe his 23 favorite ones :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLOL All I can come up with is I saw the bubble looking print and saw what looked like a hospital sign (circle with plus in it). So I thought 23 trips to the ER. With 4 kids I bet that's highly possible!
ReplyDeleteOhh, this is a fun game! I love reading all the comments ahead of mine. Especially the one about 23 hours a day should be spent sewing! I wish! I think 23 is how old the designer, Eric and Julie, were when they got married. ??
ReplyDeleteThe song by Aaron Stample has special meaning for the two of you??
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give-away!!
Are they celebrating a 23rd anniversary?
ReplyDeleteThe number of gray hairs he/she sprouted while coming up withh he designs,lol? Maybe they named it that so everyone would wonder why and great bloggers like you could have a contest about it! Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe average number of projects a quilter is working on at any given time...whatever it is there's always room for a 24th at my house and I love the colors!!!
ReplyDelete23 different kinds of cameras featured???
ReplyDelete23 different movie titles on the fabric?
ReplyDeleteMaybe he had to ask her to marry him 23 times before she said yes :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is their 23rd line of fabric designed together.
ReplyDeletethe way it is written reminds me of those pesky passwords I have to dream up that have to be so like 23characters long with letter and numbers and no two letters or numbers can be the same for the first few letters and numbers must have a capital and it must pass the "this is a strong" password and it is not being used by anyone else and I know I will never remember what I did so I will have to request to reset the stupid thing....2wenty-Thr3e just might be my next password!

23 is actually the number of times a toddler will repeat the same line from a movie over and over and over without stopping as long as he is not interrupted. I've actually tested this! It's also the number of photos you have to take just to get one good image.
ReplyDeleteHI! IT'S THE NUMBER OF YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED! THANKS FOR SHARING!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
First thing that came to my mind was the year 1923. Now I really want to know what the real inspiration is...
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the number of previews showed before the feature film?
ReplyDeleteThe number of times my kids watch a movie in a single week before they get bored of it.
ReplyDelete23 must be the day of the month this collection was born! Fun!
ReplyDeleteRight now, I'd say it's the number of exasperated sighs my husband gave me when helping to organize my sewing room (by help, I mean dump out the fabrics so I could reorganize)
ReplyDeletenumber of times someone said "this is it" during design work
ReplyDeleteI'd like to think that perhaps the 23 stands for the 23rd Psalm... one of the most comforting Psalms in the Bible. Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteThe number of times they wanted to pull their hair out while working on this fabric line and taking care of 4 kids ;)
ReplyDeletekatiep39932 at gmail
23 - that age when you have grown up, moved out, have a fun job, are finished with school, like the size you are, loving life! Oh, is that just me taking a walk down memory lane??
ReplyDeleteI think 23 is the number of reasons you need to stop sewing. If you only can only come up with 22, keep sewing.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric line was named in honor of her 23rd wedding anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThe answers before mine are so funny! Maybe it's how many different answers blog followers can come up with.
ReplyDeleteNo really it must be reflected in the movie fabrics so I will say 23 favorite moments at the movies.

I think it stands for the 23 different projects I could make with it. Soooo cute!!! Love it. Thanks for the giveaway. xoxox
ReplyDeleteI say 23 different types of tickets all representing places to go and places to see. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteIt's a little-known fact that the fabric line was originally going to be called 2wenty-4our. (It just so happens that modern films are shown at 24 frames per second, creating the illusion of smooth motion to the human eye.) But just as Eric and Julie were finalizing the line in their studio, the cat noticed the light reflecting off of Eric's watch and jumped onto the design table to chase the reflection, startling Julie and causing her to simultaneously cry out and jump back, bumping into Eric, who was just removing the tea bag from his freshly brewed, piping hot cup of Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger tea. The hot tea splashed onto the cat, and (not caring at all for the dousing he'd just received), the cat sought the quickest path he could find to escape from the hot tea, upsetting the aloe vera plant in the process, and spilling dirt all over the final drafts. Frantic, Eric and Julie scrambled to save their precious work, but the lethal combination of Red Zinger and potting soil was fatal to one of the designs. THAT is how the fabric line came to be known as "2wenty-Thr3e".
ReplyDeleteabengel(at)zoominternet(dot)net
It's probably how much it costs 2 people to go to the movies with snacks these days! Lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe they had 23 dates before they fell in love.
ReplyDelete2wenty Thr3e is for how many cool,
ReplyDeleteretro hobbies that you can have.
(photography, movies) Thanks for
the chance to win!

I think it refers to the old expression 23 skidoo. It's really old because it was before my time.
ReplyDelete23 is how old we hope to feel when we wake up every morning. If only my body was on the same plan...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it has anything to do with the phrase '23 skiddoo'?...
ReplyDeleteMaybe there are 23 prints in this new line of fabric just calling out to the buyer? Cute colors, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a lovely giveaway.
I think it stands for 2 parents and 3 children. Maybe the designers have a "family" business? Just guessing. Thanks for the giveaway. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that it is the subway (or equivalent) stop that one has to get off on to get to the theater in their local!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely say that it is for the 23 missed date nights when you have a new baby (even under a year) that wakes you up 23 times per night or makes you clean the floor 23 times in a week or causes 23 extra loads of laundry, extra showers, extra baths. It could stand for the stolen 23 minutes of snuggle time when all is quiet and your baby sleeps peacefully for a whopping 23 minutes... (If you couldn't tell, I have an almost 1yo that is a whirlwind!)
ReplyDeleteNo clue and I am really a lousy guesser too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it for 23 printed tickets per FQ? Many thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMaybe
ReplyDelete-the tickets used when she turned 23 or
-23 friends who came for her 23rd birthday !
Leenna
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some fabulous fabric. I think the meaning behind 2wenty th3e is the year they discovered the bliss of creating.
How about 23 first dates before finding Mr. Right? :) Probably not even close! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI think it is called 23 because your 23rd year is the best one. It is the one before the 24th. The 24th is too close to the 25th so your 23rd year is the best!
ReplyDeletedluckyz at excite dot com
I think it stands for 23 tickets to 23 events in 23 weeks to celebrate a 23rd birthday or 23rd anniversary!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not terribly creative but 23 can only stand for one thing; it's my birthday!!!!
ReplyDeleteOctober 23rd. No getting around it, 23 is a VERY special number.
Hugs and smiles!!
I am guessing that they have been married 23 years? Or that this is the 23rd year of their design business collaboration? Whatever the reason, thanks for the opportunity to win some lovely fabric!
ReplyDeleteIt could mean so many things! My first thought was years married. Loved all the other guesses. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the age when a woman has the most fun???
ReplyDeleteIt's a reference to favourite things, once you've done something by choice 23 times it's obviously a favourite!
ReplyDeletethe first thing that came to my mind was 23 pairs of Chromosomes! ;0
ReplyDeleteI think it's the best age to quit counting how old you are.
ReplyDeleteMy age...........in 1992......wow, how sad!
ReplyDeleteApparently it takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate around your body. Whatever reason it's called 2wenty Thr3e, it would be lovely to have some! Thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteCould be either an important date or the number of the house they live in! Thanks for the give away and I'd love a shipping relief sale as I enjoy shopping in your store but that rise in shipping means I'm going to have to cut back to buying only sale fabrics I think, my credit card will appreciate it but I'm sad!
ReplyDeleteThe designers' 23 anniversary - or more - how much I would love to be 23 again, who's got time for a movie now and I would fall asleep 23 minutes into it anyway!
ReplyDeleteWell--those look like circus tickets on top--so 23 things to do at the circus!
ReplyDeleteI am guessing it means the 23 times you saved your theater tickets! Some of the answers have been a hoot, LOL! Great giveaway. jbechosend at sbcglobal dot net
ReplyDeleteTheir 23rd line of fabrics... or maybe just their lucky number?
ReplyDeleteI think this 23 is for the number of quilts you make per year on average... I'm far below this average, though, I'm dreaming of 23 quilts per year. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think it stands for the 23 different quilty things I have out and going at any given moment!! :D yeah, it's all about me! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance at it.
I do not know what 23 is,
ReplyDeleteI do not have a clue.
Is it the number of camera's she's owned?
Or the movies she has viewed?
The amount of weight gained
from eating the popcorn
at the theaters she has visited?
Or the number of changes they have made in this fabric line that's now listed?
The number of fights they have had
in deciding what to call it?
Or something simple and we'll find
it's the dollars in her wallet?
I do not know what 23 is
I tried to find it on swagbucks.
Could not find anything,nothing at all,
I'll end this by saying "Oh shucks"
Wow, no idea but so many fantastic answers! Maybe they've know each other for 23 years? It's too early here for creativity ;o)
ReplyDeleteI think 23 stands for how many times a certain image is repeated in one of the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteShelton Cooper's answer: Twenty-three is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime. Twenty-three is also the fifth factorial prime, the third Woodall prime.
ReplyDeleteAmy's answer: I don't know but I want to win this fabric! They are very clever...I love it!
23 words on each block
ReplyDeletethe day they got married?
ReplyDeleteThe number of times going on a favorite rollercoaster!
ReplyDelete23 months from the first date until the were married? Oh, that was just me?
ReplyDeleteI think it's called 23 because I'd buy 23 yards of each print in the collection if I won the lottery. I love this fabric!
ReplyDeleteId say its the date they met or how many years they've been together ;)
ReplyDeleteActually, I've put the #23 in just about every password I use....it's the date of our wedding anniversary. So maybe she did the same thing. So I'd say either a wedding date or her birthday!
ReplyDeleteWow it's driving me crazy that I can't find an answer!! Well I'll go with idealism, when I was a teenager I thought 23 was the perfect age to be, and that's when I'd get married and start a perfect life :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's 23 items from the 50's (or the 60's) that are pictured in this fabric line!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to know the real reason! Maybe it is because they wish they were 23 again. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe age I wish I was!
ReplyDeleteDona
23 different colors in a good fabric stash :)
ReplyDeleteIt's said that 42 is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything, but maybe with the recession and all they had to scale back a little :P
ReplyDelete23 can be a nummber of the weaknesses
ReplyDeletewhat a woman need No. 1. childrens, 2. chocolate, 3. coffee, 4. good tea, 5. hobby, 6. warm socks, 7. warm sweeter, 7. eiscream, 8. sausage, 9. orange, 10. watermelon, 11. cat, 12. dog, 13. magazine, 14. fabrics, 15. yarn, 16. more fabric, 17. a financial sponsor, 18. more time every day, 19. tolerant man, 20. neverending thread, 21. good book, 22. love and 23. good friends

Hmmm... 23 is how old I was when I started quilting. Also how old I was when I stopped telling people how old I was :)
ReplyDeleteThis the 23rd fabric line they have design.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it took 23 hours to design the entire line :oD
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win :o)
23?! My age of course!! I wish..!! My older daughter is 23. Thanks for the giveaway and fun question/mystery.
ReplyDelete23 reasons to buy fabric !
ReplyDeleteWell, we know at least one answer is wrong. I have no grey hairs!
ReplyDeleteI promise, we'll tell you all the true answer on our blog Feb 20th when you stop by for the Moda Friendship Quilt Along.
XO,
Julie Comstock
Number of times in an hour they've told their 2 year old to not take all the pillows off the couch and jump on it? Oh wait, that's me...
ReplyDeleteThe twenty-third movie they saw together at the theater was their favorite movie ever. Or maybe they have watched one movie twenty-three times, yikes!
ReplyDelete23 is the perfect number of cats to make a cat lady. Obviously.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the designer's favorite number is 23??
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!

At first I thought it might refer to the road that the drive-in is located on, but that can't be it! FYI: Julie, I have a daughter in Sweden that I mail to frequently, and I checked the new international postage and discovered that for "flats" (post office term for large envelopes like manila envelopes) the rates for four pounds are less than $1.50 more on Jan. 27 than the old rates. Lizzie tells me that often the first class pkgs. arrive more quickly than the Priority pkgs. Offering a first class international option may help you -- and your international customers. I sure hope so -- those girls in Europe cannot make it without FABRIC!
ReplyDeleteProbably because it takes at least 23 times for me to do something before I get the hang of it, lol.
ReplyDeleteThere's a real reason but what fun it that :) So... It's named after Imelda Stratford. The designers met her at afternoon tea in a little corner shop. They noticed Imelda's feathered hat in pink, joined her and listened to her retelling of days as an adventurer and photographer. The summer she was 23 she had a romance with a carni and starred for a brief time in one of his shows as a ballerina (Imelda was not a dancer but challenged herself to conquer new horizons and live life fully). At the end of the season they parted ways, wishing each other eternal summer and happiness.
ReplyDeleteThe designer was 23 when something good happened to her and she wants to commemorate it?
ReplyDeleteThe number of hours they knew each other before they knew they were in love! Sorry! Hopeless romatic here!
ReplyDeleteJust a random name so everyone would be intrigued? Anyway, it's a fun collection!
ReplyDeleteTwenty Three is a reminder - tick tock, if it's twenty past three, tick tock or three twenty, tick tock.......
ReplyDeleteI've spent 5 minutes too long at the sewing machine and I'm late collecting my daughter from school AGAIN!!!!
2wenty thr3e - maybe the number of times you have to tell yourself to stop sewing and go to bed, before you finally do!
ReplyDeleteThe rise in the international postage rate is awful :-( - fabric here costs about £12 a metre (that's about $19) sometimes more. It would make sense to order a lot at once, but then you're likely to get hit with customs charges too. Overall I don't think it will stop us ordering from the US, just maybe not as often.
23 skidoo! a 'twenties phrase, first for leaving in a hurry ... later a dance, from the roaring twenties, maybe [memory is a bit hazy]
ReplyDeleteA measure of how much time it took to put the collection together?
ReplyDeleteI would say it is the 23 countries they have visited. In any case, very lovely!
ReplyDeletePenny

Because of the tickets I am guessing it is the number of tickets she bought for the kissing booth to kiss Harrison Ford.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford in the kissing booth totally blew my idea out of my brain. Let's see.. oh yeah, 23 is the number of times you go online to buy a zipper before you actually buy that zipper instead of fabulous fabrics.
ReplyDelete23 different fabrics??? No Clue, but I'm loving reading everyone else's guesses.
ReplyDeletethanks
I think it is the number of tattoos on the tattooed lady at the circus! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute line of fabric!
Sandy a
I'm going to guess there were 23 momentos from a special day.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that 23 is the best age! You are young enough to really be silly still, but old enough to know when to draw the line :) I miss being 23 haha
ReplyDeleteprajaline(at)gmail(dot)com
It's how old I am!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing 23 is the age of the designers?
ReplyDeleteI received the GORGEOUS Art Gallery Fabric FQs today BTW -- can you hear the squeals of delight?!! (Maureen Cracknell Handmade giveaway.) Thank you!!!!
I think Eric and Julie Comstock fell in love when they was 23 :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win some of this awesome fabric.
Twenty-Three= The number of children you plan to have/adopt! (I was trying to make you laugh!)
ReplyDeleteHrm, it's a bit vintage in feel, maybe it was inspired by 1923? :)
ReplyDelete23, mmm, let's see, for me, 23 is:
ReplyDelete1/2 the pounds I'd like to lose;
2 years more than I'd like to be (let's start over);
3 more than the number of toes & fingers I have;
23 is the number of UFO's on the shelf (and that's just the tops to be quilted);
32 is the age I'd like to be (a better age than 21 and the inverse of 23;
Ok, now if you didn't laugh at that, I have at least 23 things on my 'to do' list and I'll be lucky to get 2.3 done, one-tenth. I like the new RB fabric too. Might need a FQ bundle...
The age we all wish we still were?
ReplyDeleteAge of your child?
ReplyDeletethe price of a first class postage stamp when the designer became a designer? or when the designer was born? anyway...i think it has something to do with postage.
ReplyDelete23 hours in a day?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the number of years Moda has been making fabrics..
ReplyDeleteThose new Riley Blake blenders are awesome!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....I see cameras, tickets, different math-type symbols..... 23 equations to come up with in the computer to design the fabric? Twenty-three colors involved in the printing (you know those color dots in the selvages).
Maybe because it's a travel log...there are supposed to be 23 countries with Spanish as their official language.
reillyr2(at)hotmail(dot)com
23 ways to sneak into the circus?
ReplyDelete23. The date of my birthday in September? Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bundle of fabric! I think the number 23 is the average number of UFOs that quilters have, hehe.
ReplyDeleteThank you for an awesome giveaway and a chance to win.

23rd Psalm. Seriously though, I have no clue!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, there are 23 favorite movies that are represented by the ticket print.
ReplyDeleteIt took 23 tries to get it right? I honestly have no idea
ReplyDeleteThe 23 cities they have seen together is my guess. It sounds fancy and romantic!
