Santorini ~ Giveaway

Congrats to ChanFam6 #104! ! ! Let me know what you'd like.
Right now, I'm inspired by chocolate chip cookies.
Next week we're having a little bigger giveaway (at least that's the date for now, could change)!
A Greek Island called Santorini
That would be nice. It's a new fabric collection by Lila Tueller. I was reading that's she's never been there but was inspired by it. Lila says, "The colors are a mix of rich olive greens, warm pinks, deep purples, golden yellows and oranges, with cream and deep warm brown as the contrast." Great combination.
Guess, I was inspired by the pinks & Hello Kitty :-). They make me smile; the matching rick rack does too. And the little olives.


We have charm squares, layer cakes, jelly rolls, yardage and fat quarters on etsy & eBay.


Today's giveaway is for either of the fat quarter sets or a charm pack! Take your pick.
I pick this one.


Leave a comment below on where or what inspires you. I'm going to leave this giveaway open a little longer, since it got a late start this morning. Random drawing tomorrow morning.

152 comments:

  1. I am inspired by so much, books and magazines, many quilt blogs, my fellow quilt guild members (I just love show and tell) and quilts new and antique that I see in person. I come away from quilt shows just bursting with ideas.

    One of the things that I truely love about all the wonderful quilt bloggers is what they share and how generous they are with their ideas and thoughts.

    Thanks for your contributions.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  9. Lately, I've been inspired by zinnias and have found some great prints showing them! I bought a bouquet of them and have the vase on the shelf above my sewing machine...I love the bright colors!

  10. I'm with you, I'd like a set of those fat quarters, and yes they very much coordinate with hello Kitty. I get inspiration from lots of unexpected places, especially the antique stores.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I see inspiration everywhere, especially in nature. I find myself using the oddest everyday items ( like a dishcloth from ikea !) that had lovely little printed flowers on it. I seem to view everything with a view to re-using it in crafts.

I find beautiful new fabric and cant wait to find a projet to use it. Thanks for your great blog, it is helpful to newbies like me!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I find that other's blogs inspire me a lot. I'm afraid I'm not the most creative when it comes to my own ideas, but I can imitate very well. Or at least I try.
    Also, I'm quite certain that a Greek Isle could sufficiently inspire me!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  21. I heart Lila!! Everything she does is so fab. I'm mostly a quilt maker so I tend to be inspired by the images of lfe with a quilt from these fabrics. Do I picture tummy time for baby? Cuddle with a book reading? For me it's the imagery that the fabircs provoc that leads me into a project.

  59. The outdoors, especially in fall. The rich, warm colours of flowers, pumpkins, grass, hay, the mountains, fields etc. Also, log cabins, fire, and the beach.

    Very nice giveaway, thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I am so in love with magazines lately. Maybe it's because I can sit in bed at night and thumb through them, r sit on the porch in the morning with my coffee and fold down pages of things that I find. Love my mags :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. I am quite often inspired by pictures of quilts I see in places like blogs and Flickr. Thanks to everyone who inspires me.

  62. I LOVE the olives. So stinkin cute! And I'm inspired by a lot of the blogs I see out there. And I recently went to a friends house and was totally inspired by her crocheting. So I guess I would say I'm inspired by other people!

  64. I've been inspired by so many lovely blogs this summer. I don't know how or when I'll be able to make any of the ideas that are floating through my head.

    One of my next projects that i want to start is a 9-patch using charm packs.

    ReplyDelete
  65. What inspires me? Fabric and seeing what others do with it. What holds me back? The computer - looking at inspiration. Ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm liking the fat quater set you have picked out too. Inspiration is all around, but mostly from the quilt blogs, quilt shows and many quilt books here on my book shelves.

  67. since I live at the top of the world (literally) I have to get my inspiration from others off the internet! I spend a time every day just browsing around to see what other people are doing and how they are using color. My passion is photography so I like to see what other people are taking pictures of and where they are. I love old vintage "props" that make a photo timeless.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I get inspired from all the amazing tutorials on the internet I also love to stop by my fav. local scrapbooking store, collective journey. they have all types of project ideas! great giveaway

  69. Thanks so much for this giveaway! I am inspired by many of the quilt blogs out there, as well as several quilting and sewing books.

    ReplyDelete
  70. What inspires me? I think I am going to have to be corny and say this beautiful world we live in, the magesty of the ocean, the blue silver of the sky, the variety of greens in a tree, and a simple act of kindness.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I think of who/what I am making a quilt for and what would best suit that person or situation. I enjoy the personalization of it. BTW, gorgeous material as usual!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I am inspired by the coast. I guess just anything that can be relazing. Morning sickness + a toddler + an almost 3 year-old = not so inspired lately. I love the print with the green background.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I've been inspired by the color turquoise lately. The sky. Those lovely, ethereal colors that can be fun or dramatic or whatever you need them to be.

    ReplyDelete
  74. nature seems to inspire me quite a bit. i love using natural colors and animals. thanks for giving away!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I am inspired by color, it can make or break a quilt for me. thank you for the chance because I adore the pink!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I am not sure what inspires me-- I suppose my girlies the most. I like vintage stuff, which sometimes inspires me. I think I am kind of a copycat artist, waiting for my own creativity to kick in! ;0)

    ReplyDelete
  79. I am inspired by anything around me! I find that I am very visual, so I am inspired by what I see others creating. Also life events inspire me to be creative, the birth of a new baby, a wedding when people pledge their lives to each other. Ahhh, all the sweet things :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. blogs and magazines are my inspiration of the moment

    ReplyDelete
  81. Not normally "crafty" it was a stretch for me to think that I could even quilt. I was inspired to dive in by all the great blogs that are out there. So many wonderfully talented people. Besides that I've been most inspired by my sister Beth (who has posted a comment above). She has been encouraging me and teaching me quilt "things". So I would say my biggest inspiration right now is her.

    Thanks for the great give away and if you choose me, I would like pink.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I think I could be inspired by anything! Lately all the magazines that are starting to show Fall items.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I would love to say Im inspried by travel, but alas, I don't go anywhere...I get inspiration mostly from books, magazines and internet bloggers!

  84. I get inspired by the amazing things around me, as a teacher I find pupils do things that make me think about things in a different light.

    Also my time in the gorgeous country side (both England and France) really make me smile (as we say, warm the cockles of your heart) and give me so many exciting ideas.


    Thanks for the great giveaways!

  85. I'm inspired by my kids as I'm always planning new things for them and for their rooms and I'm thankful for blogs such as yours, that share so many wonderful ideas.

  86. I love the santorini pack with the browns. My inspiration comes from so many places, but the best is simple times. I think of what life used to be like without all the electronics now a days and when I create, I want it to last like things used to, because they needed them to.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I love this collection. I have had my eye on it ever since it was announced.

    I am inspired by individual pieces of fabric. I am also inspired by quilt pattern I find. I love quilting and everything fabric. It is a new love. I used to hate to sew clothes. Forget clothes, I am in for the fun stuff- quilts, bags, toys, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  88. ooo OOO Pick me pick me!!! I am inspired by all of the great blogs. I especially love this fabric and the skirt tutorial using it on moda bake shop.

  91. My friends inspire me--different personalities, different ways of life. Fabric shops are a big inspiration, to be able to touch and lay the fabrics together always helps and of course, your beautiful blog is inspiring!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'm new to actually quilting myself. My grandmother, who will be 90 this year, is a marvelous quilter and my inspiration for wanting to keep this tradition going. A little more info on Granny, she still lives on her own and finishes around 10 quilts a year. Who knows how many tops she gets done in a year. She does all the quilting by hand and cuts each piece individually with scissors. If you hadn't noticed she is my hero!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I am really inspired by Tallgrass Prairie Studio right now! http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/
    These are the kind of quilts I want to make, modern and fresh!

    ReplyDelete
  94. History inspires me...I love historical places and artifacts!

  96. These prints would be pretty in a cathedral window square. They have a lighter side to them and the stained glass looking square in the charm pack would really pop! Love the blogs....keep 'em coming!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I'm inspired by the landscape of where I live - Central Oregon, but mostly I am inspired by bloggers! Their creativity is amazing and an hour or so spent with a cup of coffee at the monitor in the morning makes me want to be creative too!

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'm inspired by the fact I am less than a 4 days away from my boys going back to school and having from 9-3 to play in my sewing room with my new stack of fabric that is calling my name. I am in love with the new Santori Collection.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I'm often inspired by my 5-year-old daughter. She makes some interesting color choices (clothes, crayons, and yes, fabric) and has great explanations about why they "match". She also asks some great questions which inspire me to look at things in different ways.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Oh pink, it is lovely.

  109. Quilt Shows inspire me. I believe here you get a wide array of how or what people can do with fabric. Some of it is just unbelievable. Some of the quilts are just spectular and I wonder how people come up with the ideas. I guess I don't have enough imagine.
    Thanks for another great give a way. Someday I will win.

  113. I am inspired in my sewing/craft life,by all the fabric that is out there. I see it and I just have to have it! Then, I will think of what I want to do with it. I am inspired in my life by the beautiful sunsets and sunrises (yes, I am up early enough to see them most days)and all the beauty that God gives us. I live in the desert, and some people don't think it is beautiful, but it is! You can find beauty everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I didn't love this line until the lovely Carolyn St Clair at Moda made my Garden Path pattern in Santorini for Spring Market---they published a photo of that quilt in their big book of fabric lines that they give out at Market. I about fell over with joy when I found out! I was very surprised too. I also have the quilt here that I will let shops display locally. Now I love the line! And I already loved Carolyn and Moda! I would take a few fats off your hands though- I don't have the fabric, just the quilt. :) That is good too!

  119. I am inspired by my urban neighborhood. I live in an area that was developed in the 50's and 60's, so I always see retro-modern buildings, designs, and characteristics when I walk around my neighborhood. It has definitely been inspiring my latest retro phase. cassidydawn(at)gmail(dot)com.

  133. I am inspired by nature, by music, by my cross stitching, my son, all you bloggers. I want to do *so* much in the applique and cross stitch world. I sometimes feel i might have 'sew little time'!! A charm pack is what i would love, eh!!

  134. I get inspired by seeing other peoples work on their blogs or flickr (probably why I'm signed up to 100 or so blogs). Love to see how our people use different colours together that I would not have thought to use and different patterns and ideas they have.

  135. I've been digging through my stash tonight to work on a project and I've come up with a dozen more projects! I see this fabric next to that one and then - Ooh! - I forgot I had this one and another one looks just so lovely.... yes. It's a problem. I'm addicted to my fabric. I wish I had more time to make the creations inspired by my stash!

  138. For inspiration --- I love a trip to the fabric store, or a quick browse online, or merely thumbing through the patterns I have at home. Now tomorrow, I'm going to spend some time at our local fair, and know I'll want to rush home and work on some project.

  142. I have to say the best inspirations come from the antique quilts that my grandparents have collected over the years. And being exposed to quilting at a really young age really helps too!

  147. I am inspired by the flowers here in the South. I have only lived here a year and I am amazed at all the plants and flowers that I have never seen before. I am also inspired by fabric. I think there are so amazing designers out there and I only wish that I could do the same.
