I don't know what I am more excited about--this giveaway or the fact that the incomparable Kaari Meng from French General read my blog! Evidently one of my enthusiastic raves about her new fabric design Rouenneries came to her attention, and she emailed me to say that she would like to contribute a couple of items for me to give away in her name on my blog, was I interested?
Was I interested? Is this not the most fun thing ever? I am totally star struck over this gorgeous fabric collection. I emailed her back to say I would be thrilled to host a giveaway for her. So this week, a box arrived from French General with two cutely tissue wrapped packages and a sweet card from Kaari, saying "Thanks for spreading the word"!
So here is the dilemma. Don't you want to see what is in the packages? Don't you? I thought so.
A Honey Bun of Rouenneries and two charm packs!
Many of us agree that this fabric is the most exciting thing to hit the quilting world in some time. I would like to hear from you just why this fabric collection is so appealing. Comment on this post and the honey bun will go to one lucky person and the two charm packs to another. (If you are doing the Year of Schnibbles project, just imagine what you could do with these charm packs!)
I will do the random number drawing on Thursday night 9:00 PM PST, and post the names of the winners on Friday morning.
I'd like to put my name in the hat for the giveaway on Thursday night. I do love the fabric perhaps because my favorite color is RED!! I love reading your blog and Bonnie Hunter's. I feel like I am visiting with friends while I have my coffee in the morning. Thanks for sharing. Sherry Brandt

For me, it is the color combination; I just love the way the fabrics work together.

Color combination and it's so romantic looking. Out of my comfort zone; I like more bright and whimsical stuff but this is gorgeous!
Thanks for the chance!

What an awesome giveaway! Please add me to the draw!!!

This is probably my favorite fabric collection of the season! Why? I love red, it's vintage looking without looking stuffy, it's elegant, and everything in the line goes together. I've already got 2 projects planned for it - and I never do that!
Posted by: Cindy | September 16, 2009 at 05:20 AM
For me it's the red! I just love how the red works with the other tones in this beautiful family of romantic fabrics!!
Posted by: Thelma | September 16, 2009 at 05:21 AM
The colors, the textures, the emotional response that it invokes - and so much more.

Please count me in...I'd love just to fondle the fabric...it's so pretty!!
Posted by: Jane Weston | September 16, 2009 at 05:26 AM

Love the rich colors!!
Posted by: Lindy | September 16, 2009 at 05:41 AM
Every single fabric, I see projects. I want the ticking for backing ornaments. The reds... oh the reds. And the bird, killing me. Can I wallpaper my dining room in that print?
Posted by: Missy Ann | September 16, 2009 at 05:41 AM
I would so make something to keep for myself. That fabric is so me!
