update: Congrats! Stacey at luv2knitnsew
Lots of new words to ponder and find good usage for.
I think we need to have a word verification comment one of these days.
Remind me, would ya?
Thanks for all the comments!
......my little birds of a feather.
"Self, why have you not seen this fabric before?"
Sweet Rachel hunted down the info for me.
Then I called my personal secretary and told her to get me that fabric ASAP. Well, she got mostly everything they had left of this line.
And then I woke up and realized that Corrie was the boss and it was all just a figment of my imagination except the part about Rachel and getting the fabric.
Since we are into share and share alike, we'd like you to have 4 fat quarters today.
Feathered Friends from In the Beginning Fabrics
We're covering all your bases:
Aren't they lovely, wonderful, in fact just plain.....Tweeterific!!
I think I just made that up.
I forgot the whole Twitter mania.
Oh yes....I'm feeling like comments today should be full of new and wonderful words!!!!
In the immortal words of Pat Benetar.....
Hit Me With Your Best Shot.....Fire Away.
Although, I'm not sure I used the word immortal correctly. Perhaps you might want to leave a comment in regards to grammar, usage and mechanics.
Random Drawing later tonight.
Although the random drawer is always drawn towards people with email addresses attached.
The random drawer spends zero time trying to hunt people down.
If you haven't the slightest clue of what I'm talking about, see here.
Good Luck!!
I do love that quilt block from Rachel's blog. I had admired it before. I have some of the fabric...the large birds in BLUE. It was supposed to be for an apron but then something else took its place and so it is folded and in my stash, just waiting...
ReplyDeleteThe second I opened this post, I thought, "I've never seen this fabric before." Then I actually bothered to read what you've written and was happy that I wasn't the only loopless egg.
ReplyDeleteLoopless Egg: One who is clueless on a hot topic or trend particularly those relating to bird fabric.

How about "Spunktackular" I just thought of that one...a new word for ya. Too late in the night for me to give a definition.

Love the fabric, the first thing that popped up in my mind is "eeeeekkkk!!"
ReplyDelete"eeeeekkk!!" = so cute; so adorable; i'm excited; and i want that!
Note: it is not "ick!" , which is the total opposite by the way! =) you must be able to pronounce it the right way - eeeeekkkk
Thanks =)

Am I allowed to say that the fabric is fanbloodytastic, it's a common one here in this part of the world, it's a few steps up from ordinary fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is lovely and soft in colouring.
I have not seen the fabric either! It makes me feel like spring.
ReplyDeleteBobbizard - one who loves to wind bobbins (My class created this one for a kids who loves to wind everybody's bobbins. Wish I had him at home!)
All of a sudden I wished I was good with words.
ReplyDeleteThis fabric all kinds of cute.
I love it...BIRDIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI know it's not a new word for most quilters, but I like "fabricoholic". I doubt it's in most dictionaries...
ReplyDeleteThe bird fabric is so cute! I have never seen it before either! I believe "featherlicious" fits the bill!

Lovely dovely seems to fit that fabric!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Diane
This fabirc is scrumdiddlyumptious!!! (yummy) I would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Rockstatic though that seems like a hard word for such a sweet fabric. I love that fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric. Love making up new words too. My husband always asks, "Is that a word?" I say YES in my world it is. I, however, am a stickler for correct speaking grammar...not so much writing but speaking is important to me. I want to sound edumacated.
ReplyDeletevery nice!! I have never seen this fabric either, very nice!! Thanks,
ReplyDeleteStacey

I've been thinking that a lot of the birds on bird fabric look kind of menacing -- ? Probably can blame that on Alfred Hitchcock. Anyway, these are sweet! Baby sweet even!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that fabric is sparkilicious!
ReplyDeleteEnter me, please.
Oops - hit anon by mistake! (happy to find non-menacing bird comment)
ReplyDeleteI am in the mood to BIRDIFY an upcoming quilt and some new lovely fabric would help me do just that!
ReplyDeleteOoh--I am so uncreative. But I love the word "birdiful" that someone else used. Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric and I do not have a made up word, I just butcher words we already use!!
ReplyDeleteGotta have this scrumptiolicious fabric. Please. Please. Pretty Please.
ReplyDeleteYou must be reading my mind! I just posted on crazymomquilts blog yesterday that I had to come up with new words to describe her beautiful quilts. Thanks for having this posting for me!;-) I have also been participating in ParkCityGirls' quilt festival and I feel like I keep saying the same thing all the time. Alright, getting to the point my word is fantabulous. It's a combination of fantastic and fabulous, meaning something so wonderful it can not be described by one word only. For example, that fabric is fantabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow! that fabric "supercalafragulisticexpealadocis"
ReplyDeleteI think I might need some of that.
fireflylanedesigns@yahoo.com
Oh, pretty fabric. Well, I don't really have any made up words, but I do "itch" my "scratches". They tell me it should be the other way around, but I think it sounds better like this! Almost everyone in my family says it this way. Also, all the kids in my family pronounce crayons as "crowns"! :D
ReplyDeleteIn the words of the BIG purple guy, "Super-de-duper"!!! I can just see the lovely quilt now...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantabulicious giveaway! Thanks for letting me enter :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat great fabric! I love it!! It would look so sweet as a little chubba blanket (chubba is what we call my little 11-month-old). My 4-year-old puts "chubba" in front of everything--chubba claws, chubba cereal, chubba toys, chubba bath. He'd probably say, "I like that chubba fabric."
ReplyDeleteI'm fabric obsessed...and that fabric is amazing!!! So cool! I love words and grammar, but I'm not super-creative at making up new ones, but yes...the fabric is "wonderlicious!"
ReplyDeleteoh snap...
ReplyDeletei made the quilt taffy blog!!!
now that's just pure awesomeness.
and there is NO charge for awesomeness.
:D
p.s. glad i could be of some service for a giveaway. the winner owes me half of their winnings.
i kid, i kid.
Well, I'm a loopless egg as well! I've never seen that fabric either, but I do like all the 'birdienalia' that's all over the net as of late.
ReplyDeleteBirde-nalia: bird paraphanalia
Wow, that is really great fabric! I love anything with birds on it (which reminds me, are we going to do the bird block exchange -- I'm still in!). Did you know my nickname in college was Betsy Benatar?
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is spiffy!
ReplyDeletemaumauisginger(at)gmail(dot)com
I like all these new words people are coming up with in honor of the fabric...How about Birdirific?
ReplyDeleteohh..I hope I win!
Grammar: Was my least favorite class in college - but something I am stickler for, must be the English teacher in me. (Please do no check that sentence for correct grammar, I'm only a stickler for other people's grammar.)
ReplyDeleteUsage: I like to make sure all things serve their proper usage, and then are recycled for a different usage.
Mechanics: Are quite helpful when you have a problem with your car.
wv: conatio - when you con your Uncle, in Spanish.
These fabrics are darling. My mom is making a quilt out of the blues and greens, but I've not seen the pinks before.
ReplyDeleteLet's see, a new word... when I was young my friends an I used to say the word "idionotic". Used correctly in a sentance it would go something like this: "This game is idionotic, let's play something else."
Thanks for the giveaway.
spackattak7(at)hotmail(dot)com
Oh, no way! i've been wanting to get these to make a baby quilt! I think it's so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteFabri-licious baby!! =D
Tweeterific, Rocktastic, lets see what else? Give me some more awesome DES words! Great fabrics!
ReplyDeleteYep, Birdiful is perfect for this fabric. So appropriate as I sit here listening to the Finches and Purple Martins tweeting their own special songs.
ReplyDeleteskeeler@hughes.net
That fabric is so sweet and calming. I just love little birdies.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is absolutely scrumptious. The ideas are filling my head as I type!
ReplyDeleteWow....very very pretty fabrics. Fingers crossed. Now for my word...twitteroxious...the annoying plethera (another good but not new word) of invitations to join someone on twitter. Few people have interesting info on "what you are doing now". Get over yourself twitter people! Ok, now I feel better. Sorry if I offended any twitterers out there. Its the peer pressure to join that is making me nuts. I am a non-twitter person in case I have been too subtle.

Great fabrics!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. George day from one that lives in Barcelona: streets full of books and roses, today :-)
My favorite make up words are the ones that come up after you mix something+fantastic... like... fabrictastic!! or birdtastic!! That's two for the fabrics you're offering today. Fingers crossed!!

I'm glad you spent the time hunting down this fabric. I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at that fabric last night! I love that fabric. Okay grammer. I am constantly proofing my husband's letters and major emails. He is getting better, but he still doesn't get the whole their/there thing. And MAJOR comma issues. Have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteI will have to look at Rachel's block/blog....I have enjoyed this line from a far for several months...love it! A word that I use a lot....is crackalackin....let me use it in a sentence...."tell your dad (my husband) we need to get crackalackin (moving) My kids think it is so funny....I have thought about using that for the name of my blog...CRACKALACKIN kinda catchy huh?
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric, I may have to go shopping and get some. It is absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful,sweet fabric. I lay in my bed in the early hours of the morning and hear the sweet tweet of the birdies. Lovely. Thanks for the opportunity to add this to my favorite fabric!
ReplyDeletesherrie.allred@gmail.com
Fantweetstic! (Imagine that, spell check is telling me I spelled that wrong!)
ReplyDeleteWhat other word better describes fanned out bird fabric!
these are adorable fabrics...
ReplyDelete(becjohnson33@msn.com)
Cute fabric!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is just prettylicious and I'd love to win one your cooltastic giveaways!
ReplyDeleteWell it's not a new word, but that fabric has me twitter pated! Hope I'd have a lot of fun with that combo!
ReplyDeleteoh, my goodness!! or should i say, wow-zee-doo-da-day!! i love those!!! sure hope i win this one!! :)
ReplyDeletehope you have a great day!!
Giva-licous! A delicious giveaway!
ReplyDeleteooohhh...fabtastic feathery goodness!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, those fabrics are so cute!!
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteamaryllis_wings@yahoo.ca
Rachel's block is awesome, as is this fabric. I am loving the birdies!
ReplyDeleteOooh, that is tweetastic! or tweenderful or . . . you get the idea. It would be twawsome if that number generator thingy picked me! I'd be twappy all day.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, I LOVE this line! And it is very hard to find! I would love to "quiltify" all that lovely fabric!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend uses the phrase "That's thick" for something really cool. She's the ultimate do-gooder white girl and that was her way of being a little rough around the edges. So, this bird fabric is totally THICK.
ReplyDeleteNo, I think 'the immortal Pat Benatar' is correct. At least that's what I would say. I love the fabric. It's tweetabulous!
ReplyDelete~Tootles for now!
It is supercalafragalisticexpealadosis???? Stole it from Mary Poppins...probably didn't spell it right.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics...
Have a stupendous day.
I'm not very good at making up words...although my daughter is...I can't keep up with the latest lingo!! Let's see...how about: stashitis
ReplyDeletemeaning: Lots of fabric that I continue to collect!!
I love the term 'Fussy Cut", it is so descriptive of me trying to cut out a motif neatly with scissors. I need my rulers and rotary cutter.
ReplyDeleteLove that fabric, so adorable!
Sue Cahill (sbonetsue at yahoo dot com)
It was late and somehow I missed that we were 'sposed to use some new fandangled word(s). It is not new but I'm not sure it is in the dictionary either but that fabric makes me feel TWITTERPATED! (but then what new fabric doesn't??)
ReplyDeleteOr I could just use my word verification as a new word - SIGYROMP!
Oh. Em. Gee. I Love this fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt is Fantabulicios.
I am already dreaming of what I could make with it....sigh....
Oh Des - you just twittered my tweeter - I HAVE to have these!
ReplyDeleteLeaving now to find my credit card....
Cheers!
I think that fabric is ROCKTASTIC!!! I love it and will probably be getting some from your store, it is fabulous. I used to be so good at english when I was in high school but it's a proven study that facebook makes you dumber, and I'm guilty lol. The only thing I could think of is Holy Flock!! I love that material, but that's just a poor use of the work flock which relates to birds. OOhh, or it would be FOWL of you to not let me win this giveaway. hehe. I even went so far as to consult a thesaurus but I still came up with nothing lol. And I am so unoriginal I don't think it's part of my make up to be able to create new and rocktastic words. :)
ReplyDeleteI flunked out of grammar....but oh do I love that fabric!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are splendiferous! I see nothing like them locally! Please add me to the draw...
ReplyDeletebettina.groh@gmail.com
My favorite made up word is blabbidy blah. But that doesn't describe the fabric. It is mostly my state of mind. I have some of that fabric incidentally. Of course. I'm a brat.
ReplyDeleteVery nice fabric. Your giveaways and great.
ReplyDeletecarol_busse@yahoo.com
Beautiful fabrics. I can't wait till the weather warms up more that I can sleep with the windows open at night and wake up to the first chirps of the birds in the morning.
ReplyDelete(lsandes@comcast.net)
Beautiful fabric!! I learned a new word today.. Jorts. It stand for jean shorts, which the kids in my class think should never have been invented :)
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric
ReplyDeleteJanie
Lovely fabric! I am all about fabric with a springtime flair at the moment! Thanks for letting me enter!
ReplyDeleteGorger-rous!!! Meaning lovely and or fabulous. my own personal contraction of gorgeous and fabulous. Maybe that would be more like gorgu-lous, but that doesn't sound so very nice does it?
ReplyDeleteI love them and want to know why they never update their site with the cute stuff! Geez!
And-I checked I am all set for the email dealy! I am just full of silly words today huh!
Kari
never seen this before but it is really pretty fabric. linda gerig
ReplyDeleteMy second graders sucked the life out of my creative brain. So all I can say is I love the fabric! Enter me in the drawing please!

I am probably late for the drawing...fills me with ennui. Love the fabric !

Well let's see....I just finished my second glass of wine so how about spectabulous or cutetacular? Either way, that is really cute fabric :-)
