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!
Lovely collection, but I think my fav is Aster Sky.
ReplyDeleteI 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)
ReplyDeleteFirst- 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.
ReplyDelete:-) Dory - worthygoodstextile@gmail.ccom
Aster Sky for sure, followed closely by Blue Heron.....in the blue color story.
ReplyDeleteLotus Sky is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Lotus Sky and the two Asters for me
ReplyDeleteI would most like to sew something with Aster | Sky. They are all pretty, though!
ReplyDeleteenglish plantain!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Heron but Aster|Sky in blue is also really beautiful. Great job on this collection!
ReplyDelete(blueboggus[at]hotmail.com)

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.
ReplyDeleteMy fav is under water but I love them all -- great collection!
ReplyDeleteAster Sky definitly. Also English Plantan but the colors might be a bit brighter for me ;)
ReplyDeleteoh wow-- i'd buy under water, varigated butterflies and aster-pumpkin
ReplyDeletemind you they are all amazing
Lotus and Aster in the Sky are my favourites. Mrs B x
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the Aster Sky! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteAster | Sky, Under Water, Variegated Butterflies, The Banks | Pumpkin - yes, they are so pretty! These would be my 4 picks! virginiamae(at)gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI really like the Heron!
ReplyDeleteIt'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.

I like Aster | Sky
ReplyDeletelixapopescu at gmail dot com
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.
ReplyDeleteEnglish Plantain for me. Very swell!

My favorite is aster sky!
ReplyDeletek(dot)hofferberth(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh I love The Banks in Ocean!
ReplyDeletecaroline(dot)conroy(at)gmail(dot)com
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
ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 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
ReplyDeleteoy vey... so hard to pick! however, my faves are the lotus sky, both asters & the underwater. :) sorry, i like them all. :)
ReplyDeletekarenjserna(at)yahoo(dot)com
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
ReplyDeleteUnder water, no question. Love it!
ReplyDeletemorningbloom915 (at) gmail
Beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteTop 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!
Top 3: Aster (both colors) and Lotus (both colors)
ReplyDeleteMy fav(hard decision) was Variegated Butterflies
ReplyDeleteI LOVE aster in sky!
ReplyDeleteI love heron, followed closely by aster in pumpkin, I think it's got a bit of a retro 70's vibe
ReplyDeleteI love them all....but "The Banks" (Ocean colorway) is my favorite....would mix with so many things especially some lovely linen!
ReplyDeleteUnder Water is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the 2 pumpkin colored prints.
ReplyDeletepatternpatti@gmail.com
beautiful collection! my 2 favourites are Aster | Pumpkin and Heron.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the beautiful giveaway :)
I'm lov'in The Banks-Ocean and Variegated Butterflies.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Under Water, but it is a hard choice as I love them all!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the Aster Sky, the dragon flies make it. I also like the Heron too. The colours overall are quite lovely. Jacinta
ReplyDeletecint(at)cinandgreg(dot)com
I love the Lotus/Sky, followed by the Aster/Sky and Heron. Great collection!
ReplyDeletesaralynnchung (at) live (dot) com.
My favorite is the Asta Sky. I would love to make a simple skirt in that fabric. nh (at) handivid (dot) dk
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection! My favorite is Variegated Butterflies. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletebruinbr at gmail dot com
My stand out faves are the Asters in both sky and pumpkin.x
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWow ! My favourite would be the Aster / Sky (blue version) with the Heron's.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !
I can't wait to see them on sale anywhere :)
Greetings and nice weekend from Switzerland
Maria
very lovely collection. 1st - lotus grass; 2nd - variegated butterflies!
ReplyDeletemy faves are bubble and heron! beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteSorry forgot to leave my e-mail in the comment (but my link is with my name). littletreasuresbyamanda(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteilvtoys(at)aol(dot)com
Under Water is the one for me!!
ReplyDeletemccready_shacklady(at)yahoo(dot)ca
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
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteJust love the colours of all the fabrics in the range but my favourites are Aster Sky and Pumpkin
