Spent last week with Des.
We actually accomplished a lot, usually we
just sit around and talk about doing things.
We moved my daughter into
her college apartment.
Even took an unexpected road trip.
And now I'm back trying
to get on with
life.
Great color
Great fabric
First up - Gracie Girl, Lori Holt's latest.
because her house is darling.
There are 10" squares, 7" squares, 5" squares,
3.5" squares,
3.5" jelly roll and a 2.5" jelly roll.
I have a project in mind for this,
we have a little yardage of it too.
just bright, rich color.
They have a new
Sunset and Sunrise set.
Please tilt your head to the left.
I just got a new computer and trying
to figure out why this is sideways,
is the very least of my problems.
And finally, there's Florence
by Denyse Schmidt.
"Smart, sassy and sophisticated."
Our giveaway today is a charm pack of your choice.
Sunrise - Kona
Sunset - Kona
Florence - the colors are soo lovely and the pattern a little 50s/60s style - so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful patterns and colors in Gracie Girl.

All of them are just so awesome! I love the High Street by Lily Ashbury. The colours are so saturated and so fun to work with. :D
ReplyDeleteFlorence - another fabulous line by DS
ReplyDeleteI would go for Gracie Girl. It's quirky and I love the colour-combo (those little clocks are really fun)
ReplyDeletetorekimi@web.de
Tough choice! I'd choose Florence though since it feels so vintage:D
ReplyDeleteThe sunset solids - and why do I want it - well ... it's just a colour way that I have hardly used. I always get stuck with the reds browns nd yellows. But I really want to do something blue, purple and green ...
ReplyDeleteHard to close but I would say High Street because I love the colors
ReplyDeleteI would pick Flornce, love the colors and patterns
ReplyDeleteI am crazy about Florence and High Street. Totally different but for the same reasons. I love the colors! I think I would choose Florence.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to go with Florence. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI love Gracie Girl for the soft sweet colors and High Street is equally as beautiful to me. Can't choose between the two.
ReplyDeleteOooo the sunset definitely. I love greens and blues together.
ReplyDeleteLove High Street, the colors are wonderful, a beautiful collection.
ReplyDeleteI'd like the Kona sunrise set. My favorite color is orange with yellow a close second!
ReplyDeleteI like Gracie Girl, it has some fun patterns! Ana
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing Florence! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteGracie girl for me! Its so sweet, my middle name and those cute clocks on it - I would love to make a sewing machine cover out of it. Time to sew.. ! thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe High Street for sure would be my pick. I love the colors and the prints. It is going on my wish list right this second. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThese are all such beautiful collections! Florence is my favorite. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteCan I like them all?!?!?! Wow, very nice choices! I guess I'd narrow it down to Florence, as that's slightly different from my norm. =) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with Gracie Girl! My youngest is named Gracie and we call her Gracie Girl all the time! And as she just turned 10, and wants a room redo - I am definitely using this line to make a quilt for her "new" room!
ReplyDeleteLove all of them! It sure is hard to just pick one, but my choice is Florence.
ReplyDeleteI would just love to win Gracie Girl. I love all things retro. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite of all those beauties is Gracie Girl. The flowers, the numbers, and especially the clocks -- so cute!
ReplyDeleteAll are lovely fabric lines, but I'd like to win Florence - great colors & prints - would make a terrific baby quilt for my newest great nephew. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love the Kona Sunset. Why? The cool side of the color wheel is so relaxing and refreshing - just like a day at the beach. And Sunsets are a peaceful close to the day and a great time to thank our Creator for the beauty of the splendor and watching over us.
ReplyDeleteFlorence would be my pick. I love all the colors and the plaids.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I like the High Street. I don't know why...lol...it's just a happy line that sort of goes with the season. Glad you got to have time together and hope all your kids have a good year!
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough choice but I'm going say that High Street is my favorite... it has the bright cheerful colours that sing to me!! Thanks for the chance! My son leaves next week... the house will be very quiet without him :-(
ReplyDeleteI really like Florence with High Street a close second. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love the Florence because of the deep rich colors! Very fallish.
ReplyDeleteFlorence, I always end up loving DS' fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Florence too. The colors seem fresh and modern to me...I'm a bit tired of the sugary sweet fabrics (although they have their place ;)
ReplyDeleteI love High Street!
ReplyDeleteFantastic giveaway.....I choose Sunrise if I am so lucky
ReplyDeleteOh Oh. Florence please.
ReplyDeleteI am super tempted by the Kona, but have to go with Florence. I've been so happy with everything that I've made with Denyse's fabric in the past. I also love, love, love that Lincoln Log Plaid!
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss up between Gracie Girl and Florence, but I'm gonna have to pick Florence. It is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of high street. I see it as some quick and simple cushions. (Quilted of course, so I can practice my free motion)

ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've seen Gracie Girl and I really like it (plus I already have yardage of Florence and High Street :P). Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you bring any of these charm packs to quilt group???? Where did you go on your road trip???? I think I like Florence, probably because it's DS, altho, I haven't loved everything of hers of late. Good to see you yesterday. Now I need to go have a mint brownie....:)
ReplyDeleteThey're all great! Think I'm loving Florence best though, but really hard to pick... <3 Is it weird to want a patchwork skirt out of it? I want to wear those fabrics...
ReplyDeleteFlorence, my favorite colors to work with.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to choose between Sunrise and Sunset -- love those solids. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so lovely but I'd have to choose the Kona solids. They always add such luxury with their color pop and smooth feel. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like the numbers print a lot in Gracie girl so I would pick that pack.
ReplyDeleteI like the Florence line...just love the different patterns together!
ReplyDeleteFlorence! Ive never had any DS before so this is a great opportunity! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI do like Gracie Girl...right now I love anything by Lori Holt!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a fabulous lap quilt to drape over the chair in my sewing room with High Street.

ReplyDeleteI love the sunrise and sunset charms-- such lovely colors. hard to pick only one, but I am going with sunset
ReplyDeleteI'd have to pick Florence. Why? I just love Denyse... :)
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely in love with the patterns and depth of color in the Florence collection <3 Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteFlorence although it was a hard choice as they are all lovely! I really like the colors in that one but the prints are what make it for me, especially that plaid!
ReplyDeleteHigh Street for me -- nice floral patterns!
ReplyDeleteoh this is a hard choice, i love 3, but I think I would take Gracie Girl, it would be the perfect choice for my 3 girls
ReplyDeleteHigh Street because it's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSunset Kona would be my choice...I'm in a blues/greens/lavenders kind of mood this week!
ReplyDeleteI love the textures in Florence. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteFlorence caught my eye the minute I saw it! Almost ordered some, but couldn't decided between the different colorways! The charm pack would do the trick! Glad you got your daughter situated at college - that can be an emotional task.
ReplyDeleteOh I so love them all! I seriously love Gracie Girl and Florence - If I was the lucky winner I think I would go with Florence because it goes great with a project I just starting on. Thanks for the chance at another fun giveaway!

ReplyDeleteHigh Street is just so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI like the solids because they go with everything. I'm getting too many charm packs of different lines that I never know what to do with because one charm pack is never enough. So I'm going with Sunset.
ReplyDeleteI would love High Street because I simply love bright bold colors and patterns!!!
ReplyDeleteI love High Street. I've always gone for the "traditional" colors but this line speaks to me. It is so bright and classy - I love it!

ReplyDeleteWow this is a very hard choice. I think I would choose Gracie Girl because I love pinks!
ReplyDeleteHIGh Street is divine, just because!!!
ReplyDeleteLove High Street (so cheerful), but I'm choosing Florence because I think it would work nicely with a project I'm planning.
ReplyDeleteFlorence has a kind of old fashioned tone to me. And I'm an old fashioned kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteFlorence. I love those bold patterns and interesting use of color. So fun!
ReplyDeleteKona sunrise ... love the bright colors. Kona sunset is a very close second choice.

I like the kona sunset. my daughter loves purple and I have been looking for more purple colors for my stash
ReplyDeleteI need the Kona Sunrise in my stash I am sadly missing yellow's and oranges. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFlorence, looks like it will make a colorful quilt.
ReplyDeleteSister time sounds like so much fun! I love the High Street fabrics because of their beautiful florals and pretty colors. I hope your daughter loves college.
ReplyDeleteCorrie: I would have to choose Gracie cause it is so unique that I don't have anything that looks like that. I love all the colors in it. and the designs look like they would work for kitchen stuff right. aprons, pot holders that kind of stuff.
ReplyDeletewould love to win and try it out!!
cathy
I like both High Street because of the beautiful colors and Florence because I love almost all of Denyse Schmidt's fabric lines. I'd probably go with Florence if I had to pick just one. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt with Lily Ashbury's High Street, for my Mom. She makes quilts for everyone else and she doesn't have a girlie quilt for herself. If there were any leftovers, I would make myself a scrappy tote bag. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThis was a hard decision, I will choose High School. I love the colors and flowers. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove all of these fabrics, but I think Florence is the one I most want to work with. To me the collection has a vintage feel reminding me of the quilts my great grandmother made, but its modern at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI like High Street because it has all my favorite colors of which blue is not one!
ReplyDeleteFlorence, I love anything DS!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and patterns of Hight Street.
ReplyDeleteMy pick is Florence. The colors are just some of my favorites and I think they just pop!
ReplyDeleteFlorence - I love the colors and the modern patterns. I also love how it could work for a boy or girl.
ReplyDeleteHigh Street....love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteI like High Street the best -- it's happy fabric! :)
ReplyDeleteI like High Street the best, it has warm, happy colors. Makes me think of orange sherbert on a lazy day by the ocean!
ReplyDeleteI like Gracie Girl - soft colors and cute patterns!
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on High Street for my little girl. She's got a personality to match the bold, bright, vibrant colors in this line.
ReplyDeleteFlorence because plaids and geometrics!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Kona Sunset pack -- I love cool colors the most! (Although I wish I knew how to use warm colors better...)
ReplyDeleteHIGH STREET please ! Love that fabric ! Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway
ReplyDeletewow - how can i pick from all of these great fabrics! but, i will go will Florence, i really like the colors!
ReplyDeleteFor me it would have to be Gracie Girl. There's something about the colours that I love x
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but today I would say sunset, because it sounds warm to me. :)
ReplyDeleteWow all are beautiful, my stash is low on solids. I just received fabric with an Indian theme and the solid would compliment it.
ReplyDeleteI love the cool colors in the Kona Sunset group. I could use some more solids in my stash.
ReplyDeleteHigh Street,remind me warm days.
ReplyDeleteI like the Kona's, I think I would probably choose the sunset one! Thanks for the giveaway:)

ReplyDeleteI love Lori Holt's fabrics, so Gracie Girl it is. I love pretty much anything vintagey.

I would love to win some "Florence". Love the colors. Love any fabric!! Thank you for the chance..
ReplyDeleteI adore the lively and warm patterns and colors of High Street! Absolutely love all of the items you selected to post... but the almost paisley-like leaves on High Street are just too much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say Gracie Girl. I love Lori Holt's quilts and fabrics. So bright and cheery! Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss-up between high street and sunset - kona. Love the colours, especially the purple. MMMMM'MMMMM. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteFlorence, as I really loved her last collection and am very curious to get my hands on this too - thank you!
ReplyDeleteSunset, those colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the charm pack of Florence because I have been collecting Denyse Schmidt charm squares for a quilt. These would be a great addition!
ReplyDeleteFlorence is so sophisticated looking but also reminds me of some vintage fabrics that I have had in the past from my grandmother in law who passed away years ago. I think it would make a wonderful throw.
ReplyDeleteFlorence - such happy colors!
ReplyDeleteGracie girl. Love lori holt
ReplyDeleteLove the Florence set! Very much my style and the colors are just right for this coming fall.
ReplyDeleteI love Florence because they are colors I really like, thanks.

I do like them all...;) but Lori Holt's "Gracie Girl" really does it for me. Love the designs
ReplyDeleteI love High Street because of the florals and bright beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteThose are all pretty fabrics but I would choose Kona Sunset. I would love to try a project with solids and those colors are my favorites. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI love the Kona sunrise colors, but Florence is awesome too?????
ReplyDeleteAny of the charm packs would be great to win they are all so pretty. I am going to pick the Kona Sunset as it has all the colors I love most and because I could use some solid charm packs in my stash.
ReplyDeleteFlorence, the colors are so fresh! This would make a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteFlorence - the colors and patterns are lovely and aren't too girly so they wouldn't scare the hubby off. :) Plus the colors go perfectly with my livingroom - I can already picture a quilt on the couch!
ReplyDeleteI love gracie girl, thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteI love Florence! Actually I love everything DS does ... I like how she takes retro influences and designs modern fabrics. And I love her colour sense. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHigh Street. I like the flowers and the colors used. I think the main fabric - the flowers, would be easy to find other fabrics to work with.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, what a nice giveaway! For me, it's definitely High Street -- I'm a big Lily Asbury fan!
ReplyDeletewho doesn't love Kona solids?!?!?! I surely do! I'd love the sunrise. Happiness.
ReplyDeleteI love High Street because it is so bright and cheery!
