Favor | Pick your favorite!


We're going to try something new here. Just to see how things might play out, we'd like to do a little research with you all by asking you to tell us of your favorite print(s) in the Across the Pond collection. There can be a large variance in the preferences of the designer (me), production director (Gina), store buyers and shoppers. But almost always, there are one or two patterns that bubble to the top of most people's list. We have our opinion, but we'd love to know yours! It's our job to anticipate what they may be, but now we find ourselves in a unique position where we don't have to guess all by ourselves.

What's in it for you? Well, fabric, of course! We'll pick one random winner to get a sampler set of fat quarters bridging some of the recent deliveries. 10 patterns total.

Here's what to do:
Go to our {new} web page and take a look at Across the Pond. If you click on the thumbnails, you'll be able to view them larger.
Come back here and let us know which is (are) your fave(s).
Also leave some contact info.

We'll let this run until Saturday 4/30.

COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT!

  2. I can't wait to see this collection in stores. It was so hard to whittle it down! My favorites are English Plantain, both Asters, Heron (love birds), and Under Water. I loved them all though! (contact info--esposetta@gmail.com)

  3. First- great collection! I posted the link to Across the Pond at worthygoods textile on facebook & immediately got love for: Aster | Pumpkin & Variegated Butterflies. While I'm loving those, MY first pick is Lotus | Sky.

  10. Aster Sky is my favourite as it is in my colours and the sweet little dragonfly details are really lovely. I could see this easily as a summer dress or skirt.

  17. I really like the Heron!

  18. It's hard to pick my favorite(s) because I love this line. In general, I tend to prefer patterns where the repeat isn't perfectly geometric/rectangular - so my favorites in this line are the two Aster prints.

  20. I like them all enough to buy a fatquarter pack or 1/2 yd. of each for a quilt or pillows or whatever captures my fancy at the moment! Narrowing down, I'd have to say my favorite is Lotus Sky, followed very closely by Aster Sky.

  21. English Plantain for me. Very swell!

  24. The ones I love the most (English Plantain and Heron) aren't the ones I think I'd USE (and therefore BUy) the most -- Aster Sky and Underwater

    ReplyDelete
  25. When I first saw this collection on your blog, I fell in love with the herons, but now I've looked at them more, I think that it's a tie between the variagated butterflies and the Aster - Pumpkin...I will definitely be placing my order for some of these when they are available.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Definitely Aster in Sky for me, but closely followed by the herons. I can't wait for this collection to come out! islaybower [at] gmail [dot] com

  28. first off, as ever, I love all of them. You just keep producing to die for designs, Michelle. But if i had to plump for one I think it would be The Banks - Ocean

  30. Beautiful collection!
    Top 3 favs... Lotus/Sky, Variegated Butterflies and English Plantain. Something about that English Plantain makes me go back for another look. Thanks for the fun and congrats on another lovely line!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Top 3: Aster (both colors) and Lotus (both colors)

    ReplyDelete
  32. My fav(hard decision) was Variegated Butterflies

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love heron, followed closely by aster in pumpkin, I think it's got a bit of a retro 70's vibe

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love them all....but "The Banks" (Ocean colorway) is my favorite....would mix with so many things especially some lovely linen!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Under Water is my favorite!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Definitely the 2 pumpkin colored prints.

  37. beautiful collection! my 2 favourites are Aster | Pumpkin and Heron.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I really do love all of the fabrics in this collection! The quirkiness of Heron is adorable but I think my fave might just be Aster Sky.
    Thanks so much for the beautiful giveaway :)

  39. I'm lov'in The Banks-Ocean and Variegated Butterflies.

    ReplyDelete
  40. My favourite is Under Water, but it is a hard choice as I love them all!

    ReplyDelete
  41. This is hard! The Herons absolutely delight me, and the Butterflies make me smile as they take me back to happy childhood memories of dresses my mother made for me. I like the Banks for their sweet simplicity, reminding me of my grandmother's kitchen. Both the Plantain and the UnderWater are rich and elegant; very classy. However, if I had to pick my top two favs, ones that I most likely would use again and again, I'd have to go with the Aster, (especially the Pumpkin) as it is just a brilliant design, and the Lotus, (both of them) as I love the division of space and the individual designs within each section. Super collection!

  46. My stand out faves are the Asters in both sky and pumpkin.x

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh see that's not fair! They're all gorgeous! And even if I pick the Aster as my favourite design, I'm having trouble picking which colour, the pumpkin or the sky! But, I'm going to go with the sky as my favourite. Could easily have said the pumpkin though! Love them!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I think I like Aster the best, but it's pretty close-run between that and Lotus and English Plantain! I'd go for the Sky over the oranges, but again it's close! They're all very nice though.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Wow ! My favourite would be the Aster / Sky (blue version) with the Heron's.
    Congratulations !
    I can't wait to see them on sale anywhere :)

  53. My fave.... clearly Heron. With it I would I would pair The Banks in Ocean or Pumpkin - either is a nice complement. I do a lot of heirloom sewing and could easily see a cute boy/girl outfit in the Heron with piping in one of the complimentary Banks patterns. Thanks - great fabrics.

  54. Under Water is the one for me!!
    mccready_shacklady(at)yahoo(dot)ca

  55. This is a difficult choice - Underwater, closely followed by both of the Aster fabrics - and that choice would be made because the fabrics would be for patchwork/quilting purposes

    ReplyDelete
  56. I do like this collection, a lot, but my favorite prints are (in order) variegated butterflies, heron, and aster sky. nadeen(underscore)coursen(at)hotmail(dot)com
