October Giveaway - Love It Or Leave It

We Have A Winner!
November 2, 2011 Update: The winner is Free Indeed who said "Loved several of these lines. Esp. Good Fortune, Modernology and Fly A Kite. Did not care for the two clickable link ones.....aren't we all so over red and aqua yet????? No one hit me o.k.?" Congratulations Free Indeed and thanks for your hilarious comment!

Happy October! This month you'll be entered to win a $50 Gift Certificate if you do a little favor for me! Lots of new fabric collections are being released in the next few months and I would love to have your help in deciding which ones to get! I've put together samplings of a few of the prints and colors from each collection that I'm considering so you can get a feel for each one. Please tell me what you think. Which ones do you love? Which ones would you buy? Which ones would you pass on? Please be honest. I won't be offended if you don't like them! And don't feel obligated to talk about every single collection. You can if you want to.....or you can just talk about the ones that you have strong feelings about. Just leave a comment and you'll be entered to win. Oh, and only vote for or comment on the fabric collections shown BELOW. The images in the sidebar on the right are all the new stuff that's already in the shop! I'll quit rambling now so you can start looking at fabric!

This is Millie's Closet by Bee In My Bonnet for Riley Blake Designs
This is Good Fortune by Kate Spain for Moda Fabrics
This is Stars and Stripes by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake Designs
This is Fly A Kite by October Afternoon for Riley Blake Designs
This is Modernology by Art Gallery Fabrics
This is Verona by Emily Taylor for Riley Blake Designs
This is Woodland Tails by Sheri Berry for Riley Blake Designs. I divided it into the girly colorway and the boyish colorway

This is Sunny Happy Skies by Bella Blvd for Riley Blake Designs
This is Freshcut by Heather Bailey. The original Freshcut came out a few years ago. Free Spirit is re-releasing this collection in slightly different colors
This is Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt for Free Spirit Fabrics. Again, this is a re-release of a collection that came out a few years ago in some new colors. Sorry for the less than perfect image. They haven't released other images of this collection yet.
And finally....I'll have to ask you to click on a link to The Happy Zombie's photos to see the last two collections. The images for these collections haven't been released yet but since The Happy Zombie (Monica Solorio-Snow) is a designer for Lecien she got some yardage early and posted pictures. Lucky girl! And FYI - Monica is the talented designer of the new Happy Mochi Yum Yum Collection that's in the shop now. Anyway, you won't want to miss these last two so please check them out! Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top!

Folk Heart by Rosalie Quinlan for Lecien Fabrics

and

Flower Sugar for Lecien Fabrics

I can't wait to hear what you think about these collections! Every time I do one of these fabric vote blog posts I'm constantly checking my blog comments and tallying the "score" and anxiously waiting for the next comment to come in. I have so much fun doing these and I hope you like it too. Instead of shopping alone it's like I get to take a few hundred friends fabric shopping with me! Thanks friends!

Happy Sewing,
Jenny

Sunny Happy Skies, Happy Mochi, and Woodland Tails are colors my teen granddaughters would love, Fly a Kite has a hint of Fall in it for me love those colors and Stars and Stripes look like they would make a wonderful quilt for the 4th or for a military person.
Would love any of them great choices

Susan said...

The only one I really don't feel anything for is "Modernology" - it feels a little harsh to me.

Mommarock said...

Oh my gosh I can see the dilemma.. I LOVE Sunny Happy Skies! That is my #1 pick. Woodland Tails is a close 2nd. And Stars and Stripes is right up there too. I guess Riley Blake is my favorite by far. Not a big fan of Modernology either.

Anonymous said...

Funny-my favorite is Modernology and the only one for sure I'd buy. (And an earlier post person said it was the only one she didn't like! So...what it really comes down to is personal taste, through and through. And if you buy a good assortment of different kinds/colors, you're sure to please most. Good luck with it all! Such a good dilemma to have!

The Riebeek Family said...

I love stars and stripes and woodland tails!

barncat (Lisa) said...

I still love the Flower Sugar, and now they's added gray, wonderful!

scottylover said...

Wow, there are some great fabrics there! I love 30's repros so of course Millie's Closet will get a thumbs up as well as Flower Sugar! And that Good Fortune from Kate Spain made me drool as soon as I saw it. LOVE that purple! There are some great pieces in the other collections, too that could work with other groups or as blenders. Just not a fan of the whole collection, if you know what I mean!

Thanks for the chance to give feedback!

Jessica said...

Good Fortune and Modernology are the ones I would buy right away. They are my favorites by far, though I would also consider (if there was room in my budget) Fresh Cut and Flea Market Fancy.:)

Tanya said...

Honestly I love them all, love the colors and the designs!! The only one I probably wouldn't have on my list is the the Stars and Stripes although it is cute.
How fun must it be to pick and choose!!!

MollyP said...

Folk Heart and Good Fortune would be my choices. I love that you're asking us our opinions. Thanks for including us in your decision. I can't imagine being in your ordering shoes. More power to you.

Unknown said...

It would be really hard for me to say I didn't like any of the fabrics you have show us.
I really like Modernology because Art Gallery fabrics is one of my new favorite fabric company.
So since it is mostly personal taste I think each one would be a hit with someone.

Anonymous said...

Good Fortune and Modernology are my two will buy pics. Not sure about Flea Market Fancy until I see if the colors have changed!

jlk said...

I would plunk down my money for Kate Spain, Flea Market Fancy, Fly a Kite, and Woodland Tails.

Hannah said...

Ohhhh, I always like Kate Spain and this Good Fortune looks like another hit to me:-). I also love the Modernology line. The Woodland Tails is a close second but the only one I don't like is the Stars and Stripes. What fun to pick and choose!

Diane N said...

LOVE LOVE Stars and Stripes by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake Designs!

Lindsay Conner said...

Flea Market Fancy, Millie's Closet, Verona, Freshcut, and Folk Heart!

Susan said...

Good fortune would be in my hands. I can at least one in each group I would buy. but good fortune might have to buy quite a few out of it.

Nancy said...

I guess I'll tell you which ones I love and why!

Millie's Closet: I'm a sucker for sewing/clothing related fabrics
Good Fortune: purple. Need I say more?
Stars & Stripes: love patriotic!
Verona: slightly paisley
Flower Sugar: love the colors!
The others just don't do much for me
Thanks for the giveaway!

Mom2RyandSis said...

Can't say there is one I didn't like, but I really love Fly a Kite and Flea Market Fancy!!

Laura said...

Kate Spain is a given! Woodland tales yes. Flower sugar I'd pass on. The two with stripes look perfect for my AP&Q pattern that's coming next year. Flea market fancy will be popular too!

Briawna said...

i'm loving the Verona line and the Flea Market Fancy. too cute!

JuneBug said...

Though I'm not a general fan of the colorways in Millie's closet, I do really like the line as a whole. Love Good Fortune. Stars and Stripes I can totally leave behind except for the pinwheels. I love pinwheels! Love Fly a Kite... the next few I can take it or leave it, until Sunny Happy SKies - Love that one. Fresh cut is Eh, love the bold colors in Flea Market Fancy - I don't remember that from the first run? The last two I don't love the colorways... But that's just me! Hope that's helpful :)

Studio V said...

Sunny Happy Skies is my favorite. I like stars and stripes too. Actually I like them all. My least favorite is woodland... Dont ask me why cause I dont know... just not at the top of my list :) You have a lovely shop by the way!!

Patty said...

I'd like Flea Market Fancy or Modernology. Theres none there that I wouldn't buy.

eholst said...

Flea Market Fancy is an OBVIOUS yes for me! I have been wishing for a very long time that I could get my hands on some of those prints! I also like that Woodland Tails is divided into girl/boy colorways, though I'd only buy it if I had kids. I just like Modernology. I would buy the geometric print (the white with the patterned center) from Fly A Kite. The rest I can honestly do without. Can't wait for Flea Market Fancy to be re-released!

Peggy said...

Hands down...love Flower-Sugar the best!!!

WoolenSails said...

Fabric choices depend on what mood I am in, lol.
I do like the stars and stripes, would be wonderful for americana quilts. For fun designs, I love the happy prints in Sunny Happy skies and woodland trails for kids quilts and I love the flea market fancy for myself.

Debbie

Carla G said...

I like Good Fortune as the colors are a different combo (and not pink...), Sunny Happy Skies, and I just like the blues & greens from Modernology. What fun it must be to pick out all those fabrics! :)

robin said...

For sure I'd go with Good Fortune, Modernology, Flea Market Fancy, and Millie's Closet. :)

Theresa said...

Wow!!!!! What a bunch of wonderful fabrics!!!! I can see why you had a hard time deciding which ones to get.
I absolutely love Good Fortune by Kate Spain!!! Fly A Kite and Woodland Tails are totally adorable!!!!! And the colors of Flea Market Fancy looks wonderful as well!!! These are my top picks~~

Sunnybec said...

Here's the ones I would buy.

Good Fortune
Verona
Freshcut
Flower sugar.

Linda

Kim Q said...

Absolutely LOVE...Good Fortune, Verona, Fresh Cut, Flea Market Fancy...and BOTH of those Lecien sets. Gorgeous!

Dana Gaffney said...

It's always the colors that hit me, then I look at the designs. My favorites are Woodland Tails, Sunny Happy Skies and Freshcut.

Gwen W said...

Wow! Not sure if our comments will help you decide! I like them all (except Modernology). Fly a Kite, Verona and Folk Heart could make me reach for the credit card, and Stars & Stripes has definitely made me add a patriotic quilt to my to-do list. Good luck!

JustPam said...

Here are the ones I like best.

Flea Market Fancy, Stars and Stripes, Good Fortune and Millie's Closet.

Jenniffier said...

Acck... why does pretty fabric have to keep coming out. I am a kate spain addict so Good fortune is a must for me. I also really like Verona by Emily Taylor for Riley Blake Designs and I missed out on flea market fancy so the reprint would be great!

Unknown said...

In no particular order:
Millie's Closet
Fly a Kite
Fresh Cut (MUST HAVE!)
I would also consider Stars and Stripes for a special project

sandra said...

My favorite would be Good Fortune by Kate Spain and then I love Modernology. But it was hard to choose.

lilybean said...

Good Fortune and the Woodland Trails are my favorite. I adore Kate Spain and think the cool colors are perfect for this upcoming season. Plus, the Woodland Trails are perfect for the little ones I know :)

ThatCleverClementine said...

Stars and Stripes would be the only one I would definitely "take a pass" on. The collections that have a more "retro" look, or slightly "off center" color combinations are the ones that capture my fancy right away!

Roni said...

I would buy the rereleases of Fresh Cut and Flea Market Fancy immediately. But I'm also really liking Good Fortune and Modernology. decisions decisions.

ritainalaska said...

good fortune is the best, and no wonder, it's by kate spain! the others are fine ... i♥fabric, some more that others.

webmailaddress2 said...

I don't think I would buy the Stars and Stripes line though. I love my USA, but I like bright colors for quilting. The Flower Sugar line is a little old-fashioned for my taste. I really like most of the other lines though. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

Sallie said...

My favorite is Folk Heart. I also like Fly a Kite, Woodland Tails, Sunny Happy Skies and Flour Sugar. I'm not into gray or dragonflies. Thanks!

Lydia said...

Flea Market Fancy, Flea Market Fancy, Flea Market Fancy, Flower Sugar, Fly a Kite, and Good Fortune. They are all great, can't wait for them to arrive!

Anonymous said...

I like Fly a Kite and Woodland Tails. I'm glad they have come out with a reprint of Flea Market Fancy, love those colors.
kimma722@aoldotcom

Linda Sandusky said...

1. Flower sugar
2. Good fortune
3. Folk heart

these would be my top 3 choices!! :-)

jane ann said...

my two favorites are stars and stripes and fly a kite. love them both.

Anonymous said...

HAPPY AUTUMN!
LOVE MOST OF THESE CUTIES!
DON'T CARE ALOT FOR MODERNOLOGY OR MILLIES CLOSET.
THANKS SO FOR SHARING!

jldouglas@wispwwest.net

Andrea said...

I nearly fell off my chair when I read about the release of Flea Market Fancy, so I would pounce on that for certain. Others I like are Fly A Kite and Verona, and I guess I'm in the minority, but I love Modernology!

quilary said...

I love the riley blakes, heather bailey and denyse schmidt. I like for the smaller patterns in the slightly muted colours, rather than the large designs. I also like the quirky novelty prints in some of those ranges. I like both lecien ranges for similar reasons. Thanks for the opportunity :)

Turtle said...

Flea Market and Stars n stripes are my least two favorite. Lol, and i wanted to like stars n stripes but some of the fabric seemed to busy in it. Modernology was a close 3rd. The others i really liked and thought of projects for sewing quilts, items, clothing or repurposing home items with.

Diane H said...

My picks would be Millies Closet, Freshcut and Verona. Tough to choose they are all lovely.

Turtle said...

verona was my favorite!

Kate R said...

I really love Modernology, Good Fortune and Verona.

Woodland Tails would be great for babies/kids.

The other lines are all lovely in their own way, but not my personal style :)

Vanessa said...

I love all except for the first group. WOW! I must say I would love to all of them except for the first set.

ShirleyC said...

IMHO - the last 2 links you posted are "over the top" cute.
I sew for my little granddaughter, and when I look at fabric, I always have that on my mind.

I tend to shy away from fabrics that have a pattern that has to be matched. Of course, if they're too cute to pass up, I go ahead and buy them anyway.
I like the stars and stripes collection as I can see some cute coordinating selections there.
My least favorite is the Woodland Tails

Pat said...

Love the Folk Heart and Flower Sugar - will definitely add some of these lines to my stash. Also like Fly a Kite and I'm happy to see the re-release of Fresh Cut and Flea Market Fancy - I'd for sure purchase some. Thanks for asking our opinions!

Peach Rainbow said...

I like;
Folk Heart, Fly A Kite by October Afternoon, Modernology & Freshcut. May be not the whole collection but most of the fabrics :D

Lisa England said...

The ones that really grabbed me are Sunny Happy Skies, Verona and Good Fortune.

Billy'sgirl said...

Love the Good Fortune fabric by Kate Spain!My next two favorites would be Folk Heart and Flower Sugar. Beautiful colors! I'm not sure I would purchase/use any of the other fabrics, to be honest.
Hope you choose my favorites!

Anonymous said...

I can see the challenge in choosing fabrics to sell - if you choose some, you must leave others out. Ouch.
The fabrics I am most attracted to are the Lecien Flower-Sugar, Good Fortune (Kate Spain), Modernology (Art Gallery Fabrics) and Woodland Tails - boy colorway (Sheri Berry).

Sara said...

Millies Closet. How fun is this. Am also delighted to see Flea Market out again. That was a favorite. Actually, hard to pick just one.

Mary on Lake Pulaski said...

I love Millie's Closet by Bee In My Bonnet for Riley Blake Designs. Would totally make a super cute apron!

Modernology
Fly a Kite
Verona
Good Fortune

Betty said...

Fly a kite and Folk Heart are the only two that I like enough to buy.

Rose M. said...

Love the Folk Heart by Rosalie Quinlan for Lecien and Verona by Emily Taylor for Riley Blake Designs. The Stars and Stripes is different to (in a good way) and of course Flea Market Fancy!

Annmarie said...

My 2 favorites are Good Fortune and Sunny Happy Skies. Just love the colors in Good Fortune & the little flowers in Skies are delightful. Keep up the good work getting in all these cool fabrics. And thanks for the chance in the giveaway.

free indeed said...

Loved several of these lines! Esp Good Fortune, Mondernology and Fly a Kite. Did not care for the two clickable link ones....aren't we all so over red and aqua yet????? No one hit me ok?

vwlady said...

My favorite of all has to be Good Fortune! Thanks for the giveaway!

Barb in Mi said...

Well, I guess I missed out in the FMF frenzy before, so I put this on the # 1 spot.# 2 Good fortune/ Kate S.
I don't feel the 'love' for Fresh CUt and Woodland Tails, sorry.
Thanks so much!

Cindy said...

I love and would buy the following two: Folk Heart by R. Quilan (love the gray included in this series); and Verona by E. Taylor.

Sharon h said...

If had to choose just5 they would be #1 Good Forturn, # 2 Happy Sunny Skies, # 3 Fly a Kite, #4 Flea Market, # 5Folk Heart yum!!!!!!! How do you decied which ones to purchas and which ones to not get? It would be so hard. I have to do one project at a time. Even though I want,Want, WAnt, WANt, WANT it all just as bad as my young grand children. thanks this is fun.

catedid said...

I love the Good Fortune bundle by Kate Spain for Moda. I am strongly drawn to the color combination of the purple and the green. I also like the Art Gallery bundle Moderology. Love Art Gallery fabrics, in fact I won the grand prize of Art Gallery fabric in the fabshophop and have enjoyed working with them.

Pam - said...

I love anything Kate Spain creates & generally speaking, all the Riley Blakes, especially Sunny Happy Skies!
Fresh Cut, Flea Market Fancy & Folk Heart are good ones also!

By the way, your little Miss Daisy Daffodil is adorable. I hope she's doing well!

dianalyn said...

123 said...

I haven't previously seen some of these! All of my favorite colors in Millie's closet and Fly a Kite is super cute. Thanks for posting these. :-) Well...then of course FMF re-release...I'm starting to save now!

broyles28@msn.com
love good fortuneand like fresh cut

Unknown said...

Verona is making my heart palpitate! Reds, greys, aquas, with paisleys and stripes! The only thing missing is polka dots! I would LOVE that one! That being said, I could also easily fall in love with Flower sugar. I could see my girls' (11, 4, and 1) room being done out in that fabric.

hersnickety said...

I would buy many of the prints from Flea Market Fancy, Verona, and Flower Sugar.

Suzy Roberts4 said...

Absolutely LOVE Flea Market Fancy, Modernology, and Good Fortune! Personally not a fan of STars and Stripes, but some people really love the patriotic fabrics. Can't wait to see what you decide!

Scrap Happy Quilting said...

Love good fortune, Fly a kite and stars and stripes.

Coyote Quilts said...

I absolutely love the Folk Heart and Lecien Flower fabric! They would be the first to go into my cart... I am also a paisley person, so the Freshcut by Heather Bailey and Verona by Emily Taylor would be next on the list. Last would be Stars and Stripes by My Mind's Eye, but only the stars and plaids. Thanks for the chance at a $50.00 gift card! Sharon

Hannele said...

I love Freshcut, Verona and Good Fortune.

Mitchgreen said...

I love the Verona colours and definitely the Flea market fancy.

Also a fan of Good Fortune.

Jan said...

I love Good Fortune!

Anonymous said...

OOOO, I don't envy you having to make a choice. TOUGH! I saw a quilt made with Good Fortune and it was so, so colorful and beautiful!

I would use Good Fortune, Modernology and Fresh Cuts to make aprons, pillows and other things. Of course I love Flea Market Fancy!

Happy Shopping for us~Jan

Jen said...

FMF will probably sell out in a week! I also love Modernology, Good Fortune, and Millie's Closet. It must be soo hard to be a fabric store owner. These are tough decisions!

Tracy said...

Flea.Market.Fancy. Squeee!!!!

Amy said...

I would love to buy some Flea Market Fancy since I misse out first time around! Also love Heather Bailey's line!

Anonymous said...

My FAVS are Woodland Trails (both color ways) and Verona. I'm a HUGE kate spain fan and don't LOVE this line.... eek. The rest are so/so for me, but honestly, I would never say "no" to fabric, right? ;) Thanks for the giveaway, and for caring about our opinions!

Wanda S. said...

Good Fortune and Flea Market Fancy I'd probably buy. Modernology, Verona, and Sunny Happy Skies are runners up. I'd have to pass on the Lecien selections. Hope you post a result of the poll. It will be interesting.

ranchersewist said...

My picks are Stars & Stripes by My Mind's Eye only I wish it actually included a striped fabric in a red, a blue, and a neutral.

Next I like both the Folk Heart and Flower Sugar for Lecien Fabrics ... can't decide which one I like better, so put them both down as keepers.

Marsha said...

My favorite would be Freshcut by Heather Bailey. 2nd choice Sunny Happy Skies. Would not buy at all Stars and Stripes by My Minds Eyes.

Gretchen said...

Definitely Good Fortune!! Love Kate Spain!!! And the colors are gorgeous. Also Flea Market Fancy is wonderful and I would to add to the little bit I bought the first time around.

Unknown said...

Farm fresh i love the colors and themes.

Nanette Merrill said...

millie's closet, millies closet. Hands down. My BFF's fabric is great. I can't wait to get it.

Linda K said...

Favorites- Verona, Stars and Stripes, Flea Market Fancy, and Fly a Kite. Wouldn't buy- Modernology, Good Fortune and Fresh Cut, just not my style, I guess. Thanks for the chance to win. Hope we help and don't just confuse you- LOL

Shelley said...

Flea Market Fancy is my all time fav...But, I am really loving Millies Closet and Stars and Stripes!!

birdie said...

I like Happy Skies! And Stars and Stripes would definitely be a good 4th of July quilt.

birdie said...

I like Sunny Happy Skies and also Stars and Stripes

Glenda said...

Fresh Cut and Verona are my choices.

MERP said...

Really liked the colors in Good Fortune. Flea Market just looks like fun and Flower Sugar reminds me of my grandmother's quilts. I would buy any of them!

littlequeenie29 said...

I think my most favorite was Verona. I love that. I do like the Flower Sugar too. All of them are pretty but those are my two faves.

Mary said...

Woodland Tails, Sunny Happy Skies, Folk Heart and Stars and Stripes get my vote. All others would fall in line after that, Modernology is a NO. Hope it helps you with all these different suggestions. :)
Mary

Judy in Jax said...

Love the Folk Heart and the Flour Sugar.Happy Mochi is my Favorite. I like the fresh colors. I see Easter Dresses!

G'ma Bonnie said...

I really like Good Fortune! the rest don't really get me excited...tho woodland and the red, white and blue one isn't too bad...they're all sort of pastel! I'm not a pastel person!

smom42lips said...

My favorite group is Woodland Trails. I also like Fly a Kite and Modernology. My least favorite is the Stars and Stripes.

Linda said...

Love Woodland Tails and Verona. Can picture a fan quilt out of Flower Sugar. And, I like Good Fortune, too. Would absolutely avoid Modernology. Such a dilema! So many wonderful choices!

Flower Sugar and Sunny Happy Skies, they are soooo pretty!!!!!!!!

Learn How To Make Quilts said...

The ones I really love are Fly a Kite, Verona, and Folk Heart and Flower sugar. I love these.

Marcia W. said...

Love it: Good Fortune, Verona, Flea Market Fancy, Fly A Kite.
Leave it: Sunny Happy Skies, Woodland Tails, Stars and Stripes, Modernology

therealfrannie said...

Modernology by Art Gallery is gorgeous!!! I would love to see you put together something with this material. I can see why you needed help with this - there ARE SO many beautiful patterns and fabrics to choose from!

Nancy said...

Folk Heart and Flower Sugar for sure!!! Love the Lecian lines!!!

Chubbie Bums 1 said...

Stars and stripes and folk heart are both adorable!

silverweimmom said...

I like good fortune love the purples. Stars and stripes I really like some of the patriotic fabrics.

kc said...

I like the Woodland Tails, Sunny Happy Skies, but I'm really not much on the Modernology.

And I absolutely LOVE your Owloween tote!!

Unknown said...

Is it fair to vote for my own? I LOVE Verona! Thanks for considering my fabric- how about a sample for your shop if you end up ordering Verona?

Donna C said...

My favorites are Freshcut, Sunny Happy Skies, and Woodland Tails (both colorways).

Debra Johnson said...

mille's closet and good fortune are my favorites. I like the designs of Mille's Closet, and the purple of good fortune

Katie said...

I LOVE Kate Spain's Good Fortune! You must include it with the new fabric :) I think those colors and patterns just work wonderfully together.

I also really like the last two, Folk Heart and Flower Sugar. I really like the colors in both. And Flower Sugar just looks like a classic fabric and color scheme to me. It reminds me of my grandma's aprons. I really like that.

Grandmasewnsew said...

This was fun and I'll follow your blog to do more of these! Here are my thoughts:
Millie's Closet- don’t care for it
Good fortune- would definitely buy and look for blue and purple solids to go with it
Stars and Stripes- don’t care for it
Fly a Kite- cute but would not buy
Modernology- like some of these but not others (like the two mostly blues)
Verona- might buy it
Woodland Trails- don’t care for it
Sunny Happy Skies- would only buy the center dot fabric
Fresh Cut- don’t care for it
Flea Market Fancy- I might buy this, like the colors
Folk Heart- don’t care for it
Flower Sugar- don’t care for it
I think you asked the right question in "would you buy it?" It's easy to like a fabric line but that doesn't always mean that we'd spend the money for that fabric! Sometimes I like just a few of the fabrics in a line.

Anonymous said...

I am loving Fly A Kite!

RxMom said...

WOW,thanks for asking ! How sensible... I think the only ones I would actually PURCHASE would be Good Fortune and Folk Heart. I liked at least one fabric in all the other collections, but often not more than one.

shelbywilder@hotmail.com said...

My first choice would have to be Sunny Happy Skies. Second choice would be Good Fortune (love the purple combo!).

DeniseL said...

Oooh, really like these. The only ones I'm not crazy about - Stars & Stripes (too folksy for me), Modernology (just so-so), and Fresh Cut (not awful, but not as great as the others).

Thanks!
dmarie824 at aol dot com

Patricia said...

Hands down I intend to buy all the color ways of Kate Spain's Good Fortune!! I probably would buy Fly a Kite and Verona is ok. The one that does nothing for me is Flower Sugar. Oh, and Modernology stays in the shop.

Sandra Toews said...

I absolutely LOVE the Good Fortune by Kate Spain and the Freshcut by Heather Bailey. Definitely must-haves!

Melanie said...

I really like Good Fortune, Woodland Trails, and Sunny Happy Skies.

Jo Ann Zavala said...

I love Fresh Cut, Folk Heart, Flower Sugar the most! woodland tails only slightly

rebecca said...

I think they are all beautiful although I am not too fond of Modernology. I especially love Woodland Tails and Good Fortunte

wnesloney said...

My favorites in order are Good Fortune, Fly a Kite and with all the QOV projects out there it would be nice to have Stars and Stripes. Good Luck, they are all really nice choices

Anne said...

I rather like 'This is Good Fortune.'

ThirtySevenWest said...

Sunny Happy Skies and Woodland Tailsare absolutely adorable! Perfect for so many projects for children. The colors and patterns are so bright and fun. Love them!

Linda B said...

I really love This is Stars and Stripes, Verona and Folk Heart. I would love to make a quilt with any of them.

Barb Johnson said...

The Purples in "Good Fortune" really caught my eye. Not fond of the turquoise print in the middle, though. I think Modernology would make nice purses and accessories, so I would buy some of that. I really liked Folk Heart, but Flower Sugar didn't do anything for me, despite the fact that the colors are very similar.

Michelle said...

Hi there! Stars and Stripes by My Mind's Eye for Riley Blake Designs is my fav. I have a serious "thing" for summer and these prints are very nostalgic to me. thanks for the chance.

therealfrannie said...

My two favorites are Good Fortune by Kate Spain. The colors are so vibrant and I love them!! My second favorite is Modernology by Art Gallery Fabrics - the colors in this collection are also gorgeous - especially the greens.

I guess you can tell I am a lover of purple and greens most of all!

Thanks for the opportunity to comment and win!

Ellie Roberts said...

Definitely Flower Sugar, Freshcut and maybe Modernology. I also love the Stars and Stripes.

Lee said...

My favorite is Good Fortune & next is Modernology. Also like the colors in Millie's Closet. Not a fan of Stars & Stripes (not in the July 4th frame of mind right now though!)

Nancy said...

My top two would be Flea Market Fancy because nobody can seem to get enough of those fabrics! And Verona because I really like the colors. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Heather said...

That is tough, they really are all great, but to me when I look at them a lot of them look the same. Maybe it is their color ways. The ones I am really drawn to are Flower Sugar, Flea Market Fancy, and Fly a Kite.

Karen Propes said...

I simply LOVE These
Good Fortune
Flower Sugar
Freshcut

These are pretty, I put them 2nd on my list
Sunny Happy Skies
Fly A Kite
Millie's Closet by Bee In My Bonnet
Modernology
Woodland Tails

These I would not buy:
Stars and Stripes
Verona

--Millie's closet-like the dressed & small floral, but wouldn't buy because don't know what I would make with it
--Good Fortune-like the dragonflies & blossoms, but don't like the green leat
--Stars & Stripes-no
--Fly a kite-like it, I'm partial to little kid's things with a new granddaughter. I do a lot of applique and I'm always glad to see cute, not too busy, small prints I can applique something onto, which this line has
--Modernology-love almost everything Art Gallery does, and it seams harder to find in actual stores. My daughter (mid 20's) also loves art gallery
--Verona-ok, would not buy
--Woodland Trails-I've seen a lot of this kind of thing out there, not too original
--Sunny Happy Skies-only like the abstract floral
--Fresh Cut-my favorite of these choices
--Flea Market Fancy-probably not
--Folk Heart-no
--Flower Sugar-like Lecien-but I've bought Flower Sugar in the past-I might be over it. Although--the new gray is interesting and I do like the one with the red dots, big red roses on white background, that seems less familiar, newer, fresher than some of the line

Well, this is fun! I like Verona the best. Stars and Stripes appeals, too.

i love good fortune and modernology and freshcut, i like the stars and stripes (esp. the pinwheels) and the girl colorway of woodland trails. flea market fancy is always fun too, they make nice quilts. i guess i have different tastes, because i don't love the lecien fabrics!

I LOVE good fortune and Modernology. The others are lovely too, but I would probably only buy those I love (only because my stash is getting out of control and I'm running out of storage space :p

My favorite is Folk Heart by Rosalie Quinlan for Lecien Fabrics. Love the colors. Also, Stars and Stripes. We need to keep our patriotism alive. Thank you for the chance to vote and the giveaway.

Have a super great sewing and stitching day.

I like them all, but I love Good Fortune and Fly A Kite. I think it's the mix of beautiful lavenders in Good Fortune that appeals to me, and the bright cheerfulness of Fly A Kite. It would be great for a child's quilt. My Mom loves lavenders. She would adore a quilt from Good Fortune fabrics.

LOVE Millies Closet line. I will be buying it. So many wonderful lines to choose from this time. But Millies Closet was Yummy!

I absolutely LOVE the Millie's Closet line. I would definitely buy it. Any thing by Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet is WONDERFUL! I
love her patterns and fabric. My next 2 faves would be:
Flea Market Fancy and Good Fortune.
I would also buy these fabrics also. Thank you for the chance to win!

I love the purple in Kate Spains Good Fortune. I do love the flower sugar and the vintage feel collections

WandaFish said...

I can't believe the whole month has gone by already - I've been meaning to vote for weeks, lol.

My top choices are Millies Closet, Good Fortune, Modernology, Sunny Happy Skies and Flower Sugar.
I would guess that Flea Market Fancy will be very sought after :)
I quite like Freshcut but would probably have to see the right project to convince me to buy some.
