Our final giveaway in honor of National Sewing Month is a fat quarter bundle of Across the Pond. This is a wonderfully versatile collection and the colors are great for either the fall or spring months.
Thanks to everyone for participating in our month of giveaways! We hope you were moved by the spirit and have lots of projects either started or completed by now.
I love this collection. I have been finding it interesting that there is a lot of emphasis on selecting colours depending on the seasons in the US. I'm in Australia and most people I know wear the same things year 'round. You might see more white in summer and black in winter and then there's the clear trends in fashion but I think when you reach your late 30s you tend to stick with the colours that suit you rather than following trends. For my home I have a chosen colour scheme for each room and they remain like that all the time.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics! I originally found them at the Portsmouth Fabric Company. Maybe a larger repeat in design for more home fashions, like curtains.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun collection, I really love the colours. I would like to see more quirky patterns and interesting graphics. I love the 'my happy nursery' elephants, so cutesy things are not just for kids would be great!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabric! I like hip looking fabric for quilting with small but bold graphics...hard to find!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great fabrics. I like your style, and I would love to see some simpler patterns, you know like: "less is more" ;))) wildkitten/dot/handcrafts/at/gmail/dot/com
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric. Would love some ideas for boys (7yrs).

I'm always up for new quilting patterns and ideas! Love this fabric, thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more small projects. I'm really drawn to fabric objects that can be hung on a wall. Small quilts, wall hangings etc. Love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove these fabrics. In fact, I bought the orange flowers for a quilt I'll be making.
ReplyDeleteThere really isn't anything I'd change with your fabrics, they are so soft and the colors you chose are my favorite, so keep doing what you're doing!
More whales! :D On a more serious note, in termsd of projects, I'd love to see some wall hangings (mini quilts, I guess). And, I agree with the comment about larger patterns for curtains, etc. That would be pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about garment sewing at the moment. I'd love to see tops made with non-stretch types of cotton, because they're so readily available, and so much more interesting than most knits!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI would second Alisa's comment and add bags to the list!
I LOVE this line, and I'm so excited about Alegria! I'd like to see some oil cloth. Here in Texas we've cooled off just enough to spend time outside, so I'm looking for outdoor projects - tablecloths, large pillows, cushioned chairs, grilling aprons - with easy-to-clean fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the give away. I's like more blenders and some uni-sex fabric.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fabric, such beautiful colours. I'm interested in small projects right now, especially wall hangings or table runners. Anything that's easy to whip up for Christmas gifts. Thanks so much for your month of giveaways. Looking forward to see what you have in store for us next.
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection. I love quilts so would like to see more, and slipcovers. The bold graphics lend themselves to dining room chair slipcovers. Thanks for the chance and the celebration of National Sewing Month.
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection...I am a lover of oil cloth and would love to see more up to date patterns in the oil cloth:)
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway. I would love to see some bamboo fabric, it's so lovely to work with :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to see organic line of solids from Cloud9
ReplyDeleteThat collection is so pretty. I would like to see more project/patterns for boys. I don't know what it is or why its so hard to find cute boy stuff but that would be great!
ReplyDeleteI too would like to see collection of solids to go in with you collections. Other than that: keep doing what your are doing. Lovely fabrics.
ReplyDeletejudithlynes(at)btinternet(dot)com
I would LOVE to see dandelions in a non traditional colour palette- something whimsical and fun
ReplyDeleteWould love to see you make some more little boy prints! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Suki, organic solids to match your collections - I love how all the prints coordinate really well across the collections (the pinks and reds in the coral print in beyond the sea match the crimson nature walk REALLY well!) so solids to match would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, perhaps something for older girls (floral/pinks/purples) would be good, but I always adore everything you come up with.
I agree with Sukie, organic solids would be great!
ReplyDeletesolids! in the neutral colors that tend to be used in the other lines would be fabulous! it is actually hard to find nice organic solids in more subdued colors. excellent job with your graphics work though- it is tough to think of better things for those lines! maybe songbirds?
ReplyDeleteYour collections are so unique! Maybe a couple panels for some quick quilts or pillows?
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Some patterns for older kids would be fantastic to see!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics!! I'd love to see some 'easy-to-sew' throw pillows.
ReplyDeletecwayons(at)yahoo(dot)com
Brilliant suggestions about coordinating organic solids. I just bought some Miscellany prints and am now deciding on solids to incorporate into my quilt design. Thanks for the great month of giveaways.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! super simple pillows or curtains.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of some great saturated two color prints.
ReplyDeleteLove these prints! just found you guys on facebook. I would love some super bright colors my daughter is on a flourecent (sp) color kick!
ReplyDeleteLove these prints-you do so many so well! I really love bold geometric prints & would love to see some more of them.
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see laminates from Cloud9!!! Your prints would make the cutest little raincoats, beach totes, bibs, etc.! ellen [at] everydayartbyeda [dot] com
ReplyDeleteI second ideas for boys, and home decor. Thank you for providing so many gender neutral fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLove this eclectic collection. So many options, lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see little girl dresses!
ReplyDeleteI adore your fabrics and would love to see some laminates and solids. Project ideas? Bags and gadget holders :)
ReplyDeleteI am keeping everything crossed hoping to win this fabulous giveaway - thanks for the chance!
i am always interested in more patterns, for beginners, and those without children, so things for the house, gifts, etc. I love this giveaway, so glad to get a change to win!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics! Maybe some sort of travel accessories, e.g., make-up bag, jewelry roll, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of fabric. They're all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with a few of the comments so far about easier tutorials for those of us who need to build confidence a bit in our sewing or quilting skills. My interest right now would be great things for the holidays such as gifts we could make that could be anything. I would love to see table runners that can be made from charm packs, stockings, things like that.
Another thought would be introductions about fabric designers that are lessor known/seen. There are SO many designers out there and so many fabulous fabrics and so many of them I've never seen anything about the person behind those fabulous fabrics. That would be fun to highlight some of those people. I'm sure they'd also love getting the word about themselves out more too.
I love what you're doing. For some reason I can't think of anything specific I want to see. I just want more! I love having so many beautifully designed organic fabrics to choose from! Maybe more awesome basics? It seems like most of the fabric in your lines are all super nice, and almost any one of them would be a great "feature" print, but not many of them are basics that can blend with other lines. One of the things I love about Aneela Hoey's fabric lines have been the prints that coordinate with her feature prints. They are all fun and imaginative, but super versatile.
ReplyDeleteLove this collection, it's so pretty! I would love to see more flannels, and maybe voile? And yes, I agree with all the others who suggested organic solids too! Thanks for a month of great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite line yet! I'm currently working on a quilt for my nephew's first birthday using Across the Pond and it's turning out great!
ReplyDeleteI really love robots, so I'd love to see some robot prints from you guys.
These are great! I like a nice mixture of large and small prints for quilting.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric! If I were to suggest one thing...maybe more craft projects for children!
ReplyDeleteI love Cloud9! Seriously, my fabric stash isn't big (yet) but you guys probably make up half of it (:
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see what you would do with an upholstery or home dec weight line.
I love this fabric - I do like retro 50's and 60's inspired fabric. So more fabric like Cut Out & Keep is one on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics- especially the fact that they are organic! I'd love some more subtle clothing fabrics. Maybe some small florals? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA purse pattern would be great. Cute fabric!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some fabulous art deco geometric prints!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'd love to add to my stash with this beautiful fabric! I'm interested in sewing with laminated cotton - it would be awesome if you carried some!
ReplyDeletemiss_honeyb/at/yahoo/dot/com
love these fabrics! and i'm always on the look-out for more boyish/masculine styles. :)
ReplyDeleteYummmm.
ReplyDeleteBags seem to be a big thing these days, so maybe some bag tuts or some interesting fab combos for bags?
The heron print is awesome - I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've recently used laminated cotton and love it, so some prints in that would be great (I know you can laminate your own but I'm a bit too scared to try that!).
thanks for a great giveaway
Love all your collections, especially the latest Across the Pond. I would love to see some complimenting solids, stripes or spots in similar colours as Across the Pond, to mix in as borders, backings and bindings. Maybe you could incorporate that with your next collection. Thanks Meg
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for someone to make some fabrics with calligraphic writes... I heart them! To do shabby chic pillows, you know, so beautiful. Fraktus fotn, or gothic font, or english eighteen century's corsive font, so romantic... with poems or calligrammes....
ReplyDeleteI really like this fabric collection, but perhaps some of them, like the herons, could be in voile for dressmaking? or corduroy? I'd be a very happy bunny if you did! Thanks!
ReplyDeletelove your fabrics. would love to see some organic knits for children - boys and girls.
ReplyDeleteI really love colors on colors like White prints on white, red on reds. I like using them in quilting.
ReplyDeletekatrina_hertzer2000 (at) yahoo (dot) com
oh i would like to see a vintage beach theme in yr fabric collection :)
ReplyDeleteWaaw, still loving all the collections. But I would love to see 'stretching'- fabrics: ribbings or cotton with elasthan in it or something like that WITH PRINTS ON IT, my costumers in Europe are asking me that a lot, because it is so hard to find in an ecological/ organic production, only plain in classical colors (grey, marine- bleu, red,...).
ReplyDeleteI hope to win the nice fabrics, than I can sew nice new things with my students with it!
Just lovely! I'm all about fabric storage bins and totes right now so laminated fabrics would be terrific!
ReplyDeletelillemorb_at_gmail_com
Such beautiful fabrics! I'm always looking for new simple yet elegant quilt designs - you can't have enough of them!!
ReplyDeleteyour fabric is very beautiful, I would love to see more greys and some more subtle designs.
ReplyDeletejessicarwarfield(at)gmail(dot)com
I'd love to see some branching out from quilting cotton. For example, some of the Maman prints would be gorgeous in a lawn or voile to use for a delicate blouse. I love all of your lines though, so anything you continue to create is good by me :)
ReplyDeleteesposetta@gmail.com
anything that is beaufitul... thanks.
ReplyDeleteivyworis@yahoo.com
I'd love to see some organic knits - cotton, bamboo.. And also some more apparel weights like a voile.
ReplyDeletemelissa5880 at gmail dot com
You know, I'm just amazed at the variety and stunning material and colors! Not sure what you need to change... I will be needing fabric for curtains very soon for my new home... so that would be wonderful! thank you!
ReplyDeleteHope I win!

I would add another vote for complementary solids in quilt weight. The fabrics you use are of such lovely quality that one hesitates to mix in other fabrics when quilting.
ReplyDeletecojocar_alison@asdk12.org
I would love to still be entered in to win in this last giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think it would be great to see some retro-modern prints, maybe a play of feedsacks???
Thanks for the opportunity!
There are currently two women I really like to follow on the internet because of how inspiring they are and because I love their style. Of one of those women you already are producing a line of fabrics in the sping of 2012 (Geninne), of the other I would also love to see what she would put on a fabric. This woman is Tif Fussell (or Dottie Angel).
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say, I already absolutely love many of your fabrics!
Love, Maike
