And I’ve re-designed my blog — it’s a blogiversary tradition.  But,
this time I had some serious fun & added all sorts of bells &
whistles.  So, re-fresh your page or clear your cache if needed.
Here’s hoping everything is in working order.

I’m feeling thankful this week — just so grateful for the goodness
that exists in the world.  My last attempt at a post (it was never
posted) sounded something like the Gettysburg Address.  I can’t decide
if it’s powerful & poetic or just plain sappy, so it’ll have to
wait.  And, seeing as my blog has now turned two and I’m feeling gushy
& grateful — well, I’m thinking a giveaway will suit the occasion.  Three giveaways!  What do you think? 

This time I won’t ask you to suffer through your embarrassing
stories
or tell me a dumb joke (though you really should go have a read
through those horrifying stories & stupid jokes  if you haven’t already).  Leave a
comment & I’ll ask the random number generator for help in choosing.  I wish I
could do a thousand giveaways.  Wouldn’t that be cool?  Perhaps one day. 

Each box will be a mish-mash of hoo-hahs & what-nots (good
ones), whatever I’m feeling like when I pack them up, but I’ll be sure
to include your favorite color of Trash Ties, a new pincushion &
some Freshcut.  I’ll even include a precious couple of bits &
scraps from my own samples of Pop Garden & Bijoux (I only have a
small piece of each fabric until the first print run hits the states on
big barges next month).

Strikeoffs_whb_2

Thank you for hanging around & for going out of your way to send
kind notes, leave thoughtful comments, & name my dogs.  Thank you
for your friendship.  I wish you all lived on my street & we met up
for play dates at the park or lunch on the town twice a week — or we
could hang upside down from trees together & knit.  I’ve always
wanted to try that.  (Perhaps I should I explain that one, huh? — I
had a dream once that I was hanging upside down with my legs hooked
over a tree limb & knitting — some half-awake amalgamation of
childhood jungle-gym memories & a my love to make stuff.  It was a
pleasant dream.  Would be so much nicer with friends though ; )

So, I guess this post is now a fabric-release-, new-blog-look-, mushy-giveaway- extravaganza.

Popgardenstack_hb_2
This will be an exciting next month.  Lots of big debuts in June/July!
Have a hunt around my new links & see if you can discover some
previews of what we’ve been up to the last while & what’s about to
pop.  I’ll feature the new fabric collections in more detail over the
next few weeks — just needed to catch up with you guys first.  I’m
back in the blog saddle now — whoa, Nelly!Popgarden_hb_cap2_3

  23. Ohhhh, I just emailed a friend bemoaning the fact that I didn’t have any fresh, summery fabrics to make a new bag from and these would be perfect! Not in time to make my new bag from it, unfortunately, but nice to know that they’re on the way 🙂

  24. So great! I am so happy to see all of your new fabrics. Everything looks beautiful. Enjoy your success and smile big…you have made a lot of people excited to fire up their sewing machines 🙂

  25. What wonderful fabric. I can’t wait to touch it! Oh, what will I make, a purse, a pillow, maybe an apron….maybe all three.

  26. Everything looks fabulous!!! I’m so excited to see the new fabrics in person. I will never tire of freshcut, and I expect the same will be true for the new lines. I love how you just put yourself out there for all of us to appreciate. And what did you name those adorable puppies?

  27. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and new website makeover. Through your article in the Home Companion magazine I’ve been introduced to the world of fabric designer blogs and am hooked. Just wanted to say thanks for that and keep up the great work. I love the graphic design and organic elements to your work.

  28. Your new fabric is beautiful. I watched the slide show and hit replay a few times. Can’t wait until it is out. I want it all!

  38. Whoohoo! I’m over here trying not to hyperventilate at the absolute beauty of everything! The new fabric looks Amazing…new blog look – fantastic! I’ve finally gotten around to making quilts out of Freshcut so a new dose of Heather Bailey fabric seems like a good reward!

  43. I love it. I have been waiting and waiting to see the new fabric and now I can’t wait to get my hand on some. I loved working with Freshcut and I am looking forward to working with these two beautiful lines. Thanks for the preview.

    Wanted to get my name in the draw and now off to click some links…

  45. Splashy and Pow is right! These are really dramatic! Well, I certainly love the Freshcut fabric I am hoarding, so I’m sure I would love this just as much (gotta see it in person and touch it)!

  54. Such gorgeous colors in your fabrics- I’ll have to hunt some down to make something fun. I am still learning ….

  55. What a cool slide show to debut your new fabrics. There are SO many wonderful and gorgeous fabrics. I can’t wait to make something, anything, with these new collections. Would love to win some samples too – wink wink. Congratulations!

  56. They look fabulous Heather, you must be so chuffed to see your designs printed up onto fabric, it must be a fabulous feeling!

  57. Love the new lines! Can’t wait to see them in person! Also, I really like the new website design…so bright and cheerful!

  58. I am new to the sewing and quilting world and I have to say the more I see the more addicted I become. I love the new fabric….I have no idea what I would do with it, but it looks fun! I enjoying “stalking” your blog and I like seeing what you are working on next. Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing.

  59. I love your fabrics, and the Trash Ties, but the scrapbooking supplies are my favorite! I do have once question — the Trash Ties slide out of my daughter’s fine, but long, hair — do you have any tips or tricks? I have the short ones, maybe I should’ve tried the long one and twist it into a bun…
    * * * * * * *
    Hi there — Heather here — with hundreds of comments in this post, I figured I better reply right here — The standard Trash Ties should work great on your daughter’s fine hair! Make sure you opt to wrap them instead of twisting them in place. And wrap them 2 or 3 times around each small section of fine hair that you’re securing, so they’ll look more petite in her hair — & they’ll hold even more tightly! When I do my daughter’s fine hair, each Tie is usually wrapped at least twice — tightly. It’s comes down to cinching them well in place. Let me know how it goes, I expect you’ll be a pro in no time. Email anytime with questions
    xo–Heather

  60. What a special treat for the eyes when I hopped on your blog and saw the new and fresh design..simply stunning! So fun and so pretty. Your new fabrics are gorgeous…I can’t wait until they “pop” out to stores!

Congrats on your new lines!

  67. oh heather, i can’t tell how many emails i have deleted instead of sending to you, impatient for news of your new lines. i felt like the annoying kid in the back: “is it ready now? how ’bout now? can i see the fabric NOW??” thanks for making it worth the wait. 🙂

  70. Absolutely breathtaking, Heather! You outdid yourself with the fabric, graphics, slideshow, photography and blog redesign! It was an absolute pleasure getting to finally meet you at Market. See you in October! I am giddy already. 🙂

  71. unbelievably cute fabrics – I am so thankful that my summer fabric budget isn’t spent – I will be saving and waiting.

  72. This was well worth the very long wait! The fabric is beautiful and I can not wait to get my hands on it. Thank you for so openly sharing your talent and inspiring all of us to create beautiful things. What a delight!

  73. I love the new fabrics! I have an idea for a cute smocked basic yoke dress out of a couple of them. And then some aprons for my grown up girls. But even more can’t get the image of hanging upside down and knitting out of my mind. We could all wear cute aprons from the new fabrics while we hung upside down and knit. Can’t wait to see the fabrics in the store.

  74. Congratulations on your blog anniversary and all of your other successes. I admire how you have used your creativity in so many ways. Keep on blogging and creating!!! I feel inspired when I see your blog.

  80. Oh my lanterns girl! The new fabric line is fab! Such vibrant colors and fun designs … what a fantastic accomplishment. Can’t wait to see it in my local shops! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. I use your yo-yo and quilt binding tutorials ALL the time!

  81. Fantastic! You never disappoint. I gasped as every new photo popped up on the slide show! You are a constant inspiration, and have forever impacted the way I create. So looking forward to holding a bouquet of fabric soon!

  82. Holy MOLY. I am going to learn how to quilt just because of these fabrics. No really. I cannot wait!! I wish we lived on the same street, too – if just to watch you work your magic in your fantastic studio. Thank you for all of your inspiration!

  83. Your new blog is so wonderful, really eye-catching, bright colours are my favourite. I stumbled across your blog a few months ago and am really enjoying your stories. Thank you!

  89. WOW! I can’t wait to get my hands on this line of fabric. So BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Much love and happiness to you and your family.

  90. Me me me! You have no idea how many times I called my local quilt shop to ask if they carried your stuff! They finally do, and I hope they’ll get the new stuff without me harassing…er, begging.

  91. Heather, you have out done yourself again. I love your new fabrics and am already dreaming of what I will do with them when I get my hands on some. I can’t wait to see your new patterns too!
    Angela

  92. love love love the new fabrics!!! The colors are amazing! I can’t wait to start a quilt with them, and lucky for me I just finished up my daughters freshcut “french roses” quilt complete with ruffles so I am ready for another project, can’t wait to see what you have been working on!!

  93. Your new fabrics are absolutely gorgeous, and I love the new look of your blog. The end of July cannot come fast enough for me. As soon as your fabrics are available I plan to scoop up an armload and start sewing!

  94. Wow Heather, so very exciting! Can’t wait to see it all and get my hands on some. Thanks for doing a great giveaway! Hoping to win in Idaho!!!

  95. I have been checking in almost everyday just waiting for your new fabric. I will make sure my fabric store gets it.

  96. I absolutely LOVE the new fabrics! WOWZERS!!! just beautiful, the colors are magnificant and the design is just gorgeous! I love it!
    thank you for sharing!

  97. I have been checking every day since you gave that sneak peek months ago, to see your new line, Heather. You work is so beautiful and inspiring, I’m super excited to check out the new collections

  98. Argh hit the enter key before I even said anything – so if there’s a blank post from me – I’m not cheating – just can’t type well!
    Love the new collection very awesome – and let me tell you that the most hits I ever got in one day on my blog was when you mentioned the Freshcut quilt making the cover of Patchwork & Stitching – guess that means you’ve got more friends than me (grin!)

  99. I’d come hang upsidedown with you and knit. My knitting might actually improve with a change of direction. Great new look to your blog, I always enjoy popping in and seeing what you are up to.

  100. Turquoise and red together…Yum, Yum (sigh)! Can’t wait to touch it for real! By the way, this is the best fabric preview I’ve seen. Love the music.

  101. The new line is beautiful. I can’t wait until it’s in stores. Congratulations on two great years of blogging. Thanks for sharing your time with us all.

  102. I really love reading your blog…so much inspiration for craftiness! Happy two-year blog-iversary and congratulations on the new fabric line!

  103. Hooray! I was dying to see your new line!! They are absolutely beautiful and original! The end of July..? That’s my birthday! I am really excited to work on crafts with your new fabrics. Lots and Lots of ideas in my head already… Thanks!

  104. The fabrics are GORGEOUS! Of course, I knew they would be!! I am thankful for your designs! they inspire me soooo!

  105. Hi heather
    Love the new ranges, have been waiting to see for the last few weeks, now must wait till they get in store!!They look great, CONGRATULATIONS:) Love the puppies too, you were smart to get two of them, two dogs is much easier than one!!

  106. I love this colorfest you have going on here! Visiting your website is like having a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning. It just wakes me up and makes me smile! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us out here!

  107. Oh, the long-awaited preview! The colors are vibrant, the patterns fresh. the collection balanced. Just what I expected! Now the only problem is how to justify the stashing which is about to ensue when these hit the stores…

  108. I love to visit your blog…it makes me feel far more creative and talented than I really am. My imagination creates all sorts of fantastic dresses, headbands, and bags with your fabrics and then I wake up and remember that…I don’t sew. Thank you for creating such beautiful things for me to dream about! This new fabric is incredible!

  109. “POP” is right!! Your new fabric line explodes with color. Sometimes you see a fabric that just “wants” to be sewn into something…and your new line makes me want to slice right into it and sew it up!!!!! Lana

  110. Ooooohhhhh Aaaaaaahhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Is it possible to be in LOVE with fabric, wait what am I saying!??! Of course it is! I’m in L-O-V-E love! The Blog looks great, the fabrics are heaven, and a give-a-way?! *sigh* You’ve just made my very bad day much better!

  113. Well, there are definitely some new designs there that I know I won’t be able to live without….so beautiful! Thanx for the inspiring designs…

  114. So great to see the preview! As I was taking a look back through the Freshcut line, I think I may have found a fabric for my kitchen curtains!

  115. I love that it’s your 2 year celebration & WE get the presents!! Congrats on your wonderful success!! It seems as if it was overnight – But I know lots of HARD work is paying off!!
    Can’t wait to see all the lovely creations made from your wonderful artwork!!

  116. Hi there, I have just started my own blog/group after reading and enjoying yours for the last year…… my aim is to create a monthly swap here in Perth, Australia between me and my crafty friends. Each month we will choose a theme (this month- our first- the theme is ‘birds’) and we can make whatever we choose. I can’t wait to have a ‘let’s use Heather Bailey’s new line of fabric’ month. Unfortunately it will take AGES to get to the shops here…..thank god for the internet. Whatever did we in the Antipodes do before the net came along??
    All the best, you great big inspiration, you.
    Beth

  117. Gorgeous as always! Such talent you have. I can’t wait to get my hands on those fabrics this summer!

  118. Your blog is amazing and so are you and everything that you do! I am a lover of your Freshcut and am equally excited about your new lines coming out. I’m going to re design my porch around the Pop Garden prints and am waiting to get my paint till the fabrics are in my hand which can’t be soon enough! Fingers crossed that I’ll win!
    dpicka@yahoo.com

  119. Congratulations on the new beautiful fabric line. Happy Blogiversary. You’ve got so many things going on it almost makes me dizzy (in a good way) reading through it. You’re simply amazing in all that you do.
    Aloha!

  120. WOW! I love the new look of your blog, Heather! And I just made a vow to buy a piece of every fabric pattern in your new collection. I love love love it. Did I mention that I love it? Great work!

  121. Congrats on the new fabric. I enjoy seeing all of your creative endeavors. I believe I live near you, but I fear my life will pale in comparison. I am too busy running after three wee ones to have much time for creativity right now. It has been there in the past and will come again 🙂

  149. These new prints look great! I love the colors … of course I’ll like them much better once I’m able to see them in the stores in person. It’s nice to see some “blending” prints as well as the lovely “star” prints. Cheers!

  167. What beautiful fabric. I have just started sewing after treating myself to a new sewing machine. I have been very inspired with your fabric – I had no idea until my recent foray into researching for fabrics and projects that there was such beautiful fabrics out there. Thankyou and keep up the good work!! A

  168. I just love the new prints, can’t wait to get my mitts on some and start making things that make people stare at me :)))

  170. Heather, you are an incredible lady full of boundless talent. These new fabrics are incredible!!! I am just longing for it. How wonderful that it is going to be in the shops soon! It is hard to wait though. I am dreaming about winning your thoughtful give away, although with the fan club you have I know the odds won’t be terribly good…
    ~Hugs from a huge fan in Norway~Emily

  171. Congratulations on the new look fabric and new look blog! I can already picture gorgeous dinner napkins, maybe softies…oh goodness, could I really CUT any of that gorgeous fabric?

  172. So gorgeous. How the heck do you have space in your head and time in your day for all the loveliness? Is there a secret twin (a la “The Prestige”)? No, there must be quads. We’re on to you!

  173. LOVE the new range Heather!! I have a few quilts designing themselves in my head right now!! 🙂

  174. Love the designs and the colours are all so fresh…makes me wish summer was here (I live at the other end of the world LOL)

  175. WOW! So much wonderfulness all at once! Blogiversary, new fabric, little puppies….life is good, both yours and mine but in such different ways. You’re spectacular for sharing with us. Congratulations and I wish you much success on the sale of you new fabric, fun posts, and house-breaking!
    michelleb.

  176. I, too am wondering if I missed the puppies’ names? How are the cuties? And are they still being fussed over? The colors of the fabrics are wonderful! I’m feeling inspiration, already! 🙂

  177. Congratulations, Heather! The fabric is beautiful. I love the idea of two lines together to mix and match — not that we don’t have enough options already, but still!!

  178. Wow…it’s even better than the old layout. Your blog is always so happy and bright. I love reading about your life. Your new fabric is wonderful. Congratulations and I can’t wait to see more sneak peeks.

  179. Beautiful! I would love to win this…however, coming from the south I have serious reservations about getting anything with hoo-hah’s in it! LOL
    Thanks for creating a great place to come and see beautiful fabrics, photos and inspiration.

  180. Halleluiah! I have been waiting with baited breath for this debut! Don’t worry, I brush and mouthwash regularly! I loved Freshcut and have used it about a hundred times in various gifts and goodies. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new stuff. Thank you thank you! Congrats on your 2 years!

  181. I LOVE the new fabrics! I see a couple of new dresses in my daughter’s future! I wish they were coming a bit sooner so I could use them in my new book – but all projects are due mid-July. 🙁

  182. HOLY MOLY MACARONI AND CHEESE!!! Your new line is absolutely, unbelievably exciting. I felt like shrieking with excitement (but couldn’t cuz my kids are asleep and it’s 1 in the morning) when I saw that slideshow. I seriously have butterflies in my stomach, no joke. When I grow up (har har…I think I’m older than you) I want to be just like you. I’m in love with the paisley design and some of the florals. Actually, I’m in love with the whole luscious lot. I’m so happy for you, and so excited to get my hands on some of that fabric when it becomes available. I don’t know how on earth you find the time to do all the incredible things you do…but keep up the great work!

  183. Stunning fabric. I can’t wait! Congratulations on all the happy things in your life (two puppies? such riches!)!!!

  184. Those fabrics look amazing! You’re so talented! Thanks for sharing all these lovely things with us.

  185. Wow, oh wow! I love the new fabric lines and I can’t wait to start making myself PJs and skirts and bags, and a new bed quilt and appliqued dish towels and curtains. So excited, SO EXCITED!

  186. Wow! So much for the sophmore jinx. I didn’t think I could love another fabric line as much as I love freshcut. Obviously, I was wrong, because I think I love the new lines even more. I can’t wait to cut those ziz zag stripes into chevrons!

  187. “hoo-hahs & what-nots” – that sounds kind of dirty!
    Congrats on two great years of blogging and two great new fabric collections!

  188. heather, your new line is just wonderful!
    visiting your blog is such a treat!
    & isn’t it funny how we all come out of the woodwork for an awesome drawing!!!

    Bravo pour la nouvelle collection, tout cela m’inspire beaucoup!

    Marie/x

  191. Oh my oh my!!! I loved your first line, but these are truly scrumptious! I see many creations going thru my mind already. I am currently working on a dress for my littlest sweet pea with your Freshcut line now. Can’t wait for the new ones!!

  192. Oh. My. Goodness. I can’t say that I’m surprised to see nearly 400 comments about your new lines! We’ve all been waiting with baited breath to see them – and boy were they worth the wait! I’ve been checking your blog, the Freespirit website and Googling anything that might provide the teensiest of clues as to what you had in store for us all. I can hardly wait until they’re available in Australia! Congratulations on yet another stunning selection of jewels and petals and pretties… mmm :O)

  193. Congratulations on your new line, the fabrics look simply funtastic 🙂
    The whole line looks so summery and fresh, perfect eye-candy!
    You surely cheered my rainy day – as usual – so thanks for showing the fruits of your creativity!

  194. Those new fabrics look amazing – wonder how long it will be before we get them here in UK!
    Good Luck with the puppies – double the trouble? I think they’ll be twice the fun – enjoy!
    Chris x

  199. LOVE the new fabrics! I may have to go off my “fabric-diet” for a yummy purchase! Oh, and we love your music on the fabric slide show. My son (who is 2) did some dancing while listening to the music! (oh, the new blog design is fabulous!)

  200. I am so excited! I can’t wait to have a stack of those to go along with all my other stacks of your fabric at my house. And, I have been pondering the trash ties too. This has been a gloriously cool year for you. I couldn’t be happier for you!

  201. Wow Wow! I love the new fabrics I just can’t say enough! I can’t wait to get my hands on them designs are already running through my head! Congrats on the 2 new lines! I look forward for more to come! Meg

  209. you’re very talented just made your bitty booties this week they are fab thank you so much for the pattern are you suppling anywhere in the uk as i love the feel of you’re fabric designs they are so fresh summery and pretty.

  210. Really nice patterns for your new fabrics, Heather. And I like your new blog design too. I’m still exploring it. But what I’m really eager to hear about is life with TWO miniature schnauzers! I have one, and he’s all I can handle. 🙂

  211. The new fabric is beautiful, I can’t wait to make something out of it. I just finished my daughter’s nursery in Freshcut fabrics. It makes me happy every time I go in.
    Congratulations on all the great things you’ve got going on.

  212. Beautiful and inspirin designs Heather – I’m itching to make something. LOL – this comment is in the mid-400’s – oh well! Love the blog make-over too.

  213. I’m seeing that I’m not the first to commend on your post, and I’m not surprized. Your prints are absolutely beautiful and make med smile a little each time I see them. I hope you will have great luck with many more collections.

  214. I discovered your blog just a few months ago and have so enjoyed your posts and photography and have been so inspired! Figured I’d take this opportunity to tell you that your new fabrics are freaking GORGEOUS–I’m already planning a quilt for my bed–and also hopefully win some free stuff. 😉 Can’t wait to see what comes next!

  215. Congrats Heather! I wish your fabric were sold in my country 🙁 But congrats again! It’s truly beautiful 🙂

  216. oh wow. Congrats on everything!
    Heather, I love everything you make, and I love, love, LOVE that you are epb’s daughter-in-law! I am a dollmaker, and hers are the first doll patterns I ever bought when I decided that I wanted to make interesting dolls.

  217. Ohhhh, absolutely LOVE the new fabrics! Especially the paisleys, and since I’m looking for fabric to re-cover a new victorian chair purchase… Maybe I’ll have to wait for these! The colors are to die for!

  218. What fun happy fabric! Perfect for the glorious weather we finally are having. Congratulations!!! Your blog is great!

  219. I would love to knit with you! I just learned a little bit ago myself and it is very soothing. Your new fabrics are gorgeous I can’t wait to see them in person! And where did you get those little red clips??? I love them. You seem like the sweetest of people and I wish we were neighbors too!

  220. Yay, yay, yay! They are SO worth the wait! I’m been getting really antsy waiting to see what you have coming out next. I feel like a kid on Christmas. Great work!

  221. Wow! I love the new fabric! I currently have a big pile of freshcut that I can’t bear to cut into, and I think that will soon be joined by a pig pile of pop garden!

  222. Your new fabric lines are wonderful, you are so talented (can you sense my jealousy?) Keep up the great work, we all benefit from it.

  223. Oh my! You have the loveliest ideas and the most amazing talent!
    Seeing your fabric makes me want to eat ice cream or go sailing. Is that odd?

  224. Heather, the new fabrics are gorgeous as always. You’re so sweet and inspiring. Thanks for always brightening up my morning blog roll! 🙂

  225. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, these fabrics just drive me crazy, love the color combo and fresh green is my alltime favourite

  227. congratulations on the new fabic lines and your two year anniversary! thank you for sharing and inspiring us.

  228. I’m loving the new blog colours and the fabric is so scrummy. I’m in the process of growing my hair long and it’s at that really horrid stage, so I could really benefit from some trash ties!

  229. How exciting! It must be such a rush to see something you dreamed about and invested so much of yourself into come to fruition and please so many other people (like little ol’ me). Congrats on your success and thanks for inspiring us all to create.

  230. Hi Heather!Thank God your back – it’s been so long!LOVE the new look for the blog-so happy and vibrant ! And the fabrics look fab too (as expected) What I’d like to know is – how do you do it all with 2 young children ? Thanks for the inspiration….Michelle, Australia

  323. Would it be too repetitive to say I love your new fabrics?! Can’t wait to spend some time perusing the updated blog as well. . .
    Thanks!
    pick me! pick me!

  324. Congrats on your new collections, Heather! They’re gorgeous, just like every fabric you design. I’ve loved making things with your Freshcut collection, and now I’m especially excited to get to use all your new fabrics, too b/c I just had a baby girl less than 2 weeks ago. She sure is going to look extra special dressed in all of your fabrics!

  325. The new blog design is fabulous! And the colors & lines of the new fabrics… better even than Freshcut! Do enjoy the rest of June,
    Elzabets.

  326. What a lovely way to lift the spirits and start the morning … first being able to see the new blog look and then watching the fabrics on the slideshow … absolutely scrumptious. You have me chomping at the bit to get some Pop Garden and Bijoux in my stash (and btw, inspired names for the fabulous collections)!

  327. COLOR! I lurk your blog all the time, and love your LO so much I want to try something like it for my blog. One day, I hope to have a crafty room like yours. Or, maybe I can just move in. ^_^

  328. I have “lurked” on your blog since Freshcut came out. We have so many “boutique” sets using those wonderful fabrics and I can NOT wait to get my hands on the new lines, they are such a color candy store, keep up the wonderful work 🙂
    Dana

  329. Squeal! I’m just about to go out but thought I’d check for updates here first – and wow! It looks wonderful, I’ll be back later to have a good nose around the new-look blog =)

  330. Oh! I can’t belive this. My computer at work cannot download the flash palyer to preview the collections! I will have to wait ALL DAY to see these at home tonight. So unfair I have anticipating these for SOOO long. Can’t wait to get home and drool. Thanks for sharing (even though I can only see small bits) the new lines look fabulous. Danielle

  331. I’m in love with the new fabric and can’t wait to get my hands on it in July!!! Congratulations on all your newest adventures! You’ve certainly been busy:) So, I have to agree… I wish we did live on the same street and go to lunch during the week… hehe… I’ll hang from a tree if you want to teach me to knit:) I’m just amazed at how many comments you have already for this post, I found your blog a few months ago via a friend’s blog link (this is my second brave comment). Is it odd to have all these strangers talking to you? I hope you enjoy my participation and comments as much as I love all your crafts and fabrics:)

  332. Glad to see you back — and with so many great things. What a nice surprise to see the new look for your blog when I clicked on your link this morning!

  333. Congratulations on your new beautiful fabric line and your 2nd blogiversary! Thanks so much for sharing a peek into your beautiful world!

  334. Heather – Your site is beautiful! Loved the spread in Home Companion! Can’t wait to see the new fabric in person!

  335. These are so beautiful!! Heather, you really have a way with color. I feel like my life has been much happier and sunnier just for reading your blog and opening my eyes to the wonderful world of your playful fabrics and your gifted design talent. I feel like your fabric and patterns are a reflection of the joy and sunshine in your heart. Thank you for sharing that with all of us!!

  336. Wow! I can hardly wait to get a bit of this. I already have a project (or projects)in mind! Congratulations on all your successes!

  337. what fun new fabrics! i cant wait to get my hands on some! your blog is so inspirational and i love the new design – it makes me want to start new projects right away!

  338. Wow! I’m the 700th comment! That’d be an awfully big tree to hold us all, but I’m game for some upside down knitting! I loved your slideshow of the fabrics, they are amazing! Congratulations on all the excitement and thanks for taking us along!

  339. So you say all this beauty is on a barge, hm? May have to do some research on fabric piracy. Shiver me timbers! Hand over the bolts!
    Awesome collection – love everything about it. Congratulations!

  340. This is beautiful. I am new to sewing and can not wait to get my hands on this. All of your fabric is quite inspiring. Thank you for sharing it with us.

  341. Your new line is so inspiring!! I’m due with a baby girl in October. I can’t wait to get some fabric and sew some vibrant things for her!!

  342. So exciting! My friends and I are huge Freshcut devotees, we cleaned our quilt shop out. As impossible as it seems, you have outdone yourself. We are all drooling over your new look and plan to get together and start planning what we will do with your new fabrics. Quilts, aprons and fancy doo-dads (for ourselves, not the kids) come to mind. Thanks for making my day!

  343. oh, man, I wanna win so bad! I had ordered some quarter yards of Fresh Cut last year and have used every tiny little scrap, I love them so much. I love the new ones just as much!

  344. WOW—these FABRICS ARE AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to see them IN PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  345. I love the “new look”! Isn’t it amazing (me included) how many people will leave a comment for a chance to win a prize. Your talent is amazing and though I do have you in my daily blog list – this is my first comment evah!

  346. Thanks so much for having this give away. Your blog and beautiful pics are always so inspiring. And if it wasn’t for your tutorials I wouldn’t know how to make a yo-yo or bind a quilt. Thank you so much for sharing all your creativity.

  347. AMAZING!
    your sister-in-law had e-mailed me a while ago telling me that you were working on new fabric designs. She discovered my website and your fabrics being used for a lot of my applique designs – especially one that I named Elinore the Elephant and used your fabrics. She had mentioned that your Mom’s name was Elinore and she loved elephants as well. Anyhow, I just love all of your Freshcut line and I have all of those fabrics. I cannot wait to get each and every one of these AMAZING fabrics. GREAT JOB.

  349. Hello Heather! The new collections are stunning! I’m salivating over here. I want them all! (can we paddle out to the ship carrying the rolls and snag them early?)
    I love the new blog layout, and reading through all of the old entries. Its very inspiring, and gets the creative juices flowing.
    Keep up the amazing work!

  350. I LOVE the new blog! Great job. So fresh and colorful. The fabric is fantastic! I have used your fabric for a quilt and a purse and now I am sitting here making plans for what I want to do with your new releases!!! I can’t wait! Thanks for giving us a sneak peak. I love reading your blog!

  351. I’m leaving a comment before I check out the new fabrics. I don’t want to get so involved with that and miss the giveaways. *S*
    I’m sure they’re something I will WANT as soon as I can find them.

  352. My goodness! The new lines are gorgeous, as is the new look of the blog! I just love your eye. Your use of color and your sense of design are masterful. Thanks for the big reveal–totally worth waiting for!!

  353. Wow! It all looks so fabulous, your blog and new fabric collections. Congratulations! All your hard work has paid off! And please don’t forget to tell us what names you chose for the puppies!

  354. You are fabulous as always! Can’t wait to work with your new and truly spectacular fabric.

    Thank you for doing what you do 🙂
    Tracy

  356. Wow. Those fabrics are amazing. So beautiful and vibrant. I can’t wait to purchase them and start crafting my little heart out. Congrats on the new line and keep up the great work (and the great blog)!

  357. Love, love, love these fabrics! I am already envisioning some great quilts!
    PS… My kids all came running when they heard the music on the fabric slideshow… I was surrounded by kids oohing and ahhing over the fabrics!

  358. I just love the new look of the blog. So fresh and happy – just like most of the stuff in it. And the new fabrics.. Gorgeous!

  359. Heather,
    The new fabrics are AMAZING!! I need a yard of every print just about! My daughter is in love with them. She told me she needs a dress in every print!!

  360. I love all your beautiful new fabrics and I am super excited for them to be in stock at my fabric store. I love your inspiration! Thanks for being wonderful!

  361. I just loooove your new fabrics . . . so fresh, bright and cheery! I’m giving my studio a makeover and can’t wait to include your fabrics. They’re guaranteed to bring smiles and inspiration. 🙂

  362. I had never been to someone’s blog before last week and now I am addicted to yours! Last time I visited you inspired me to sew, sew and sew! Thanks for the energy and inspiration.

  363. Missed you at Gina’s/Cranberry/Threaded Pair…she should have shown you my version of your Drag Around Sue in your fabrics. New line looks great and I can hardly wait to fondle it in person.

  364. These fabric designs and colors are FABULOUS! The music suits the show also. Although not a quilter, I have boxes of vintage patterns I have collected over the years, and, now that our house remodel is done, and I have a room devoted to my art and crafting, when the sewing machine is set up and ready to go, your fabric will be the first to debut in my new space and making! I tripped into your website this past fall, and you have inspired me to re-create my attitude and dedication to a truly joyous life in creativity! And, by the way, what ARE the NAMES for those two new “kids” of yours? It is the characters that make the community, you know!
    love to you and all-
    -Virginia

  365. Awesome new look to your blog! I can’t WAIT to see the new fabrics in person!! Fresh Cut is one of my top favorite lines, so these new ones are sure to rock!

  367. WOW! I am speechless over the beauty & thrilling colors of the new collections. Bravo! I love, love, LOVE them! I can’t wait to get my hands on them & start creating. And a pin cushion from you – I think that would make my whole summer!

  368. I love the new fabrics! I can’t wait to get some. I have so many project ideas floating around in my head and in my overloaded sketch book – those fabrics are inspiring!

  369. I am so glad to finally see your fabric being showcased here! Happy Blogiversary and WOW on all the new bells and whistles. I can’t wait to see these fabrics in person. It won’t be long now. Off to sew (so I can buy new fabric guilt free 😉 )

  370. Wowie! I love it all! I don’t know how you keep coming up with such beautiful fabrics for all of us to play with and drool over! Congrats on 2 years and everything else!

  374. your fabric (fresh cut) was my very first clothes project–dresses for my daughters…i loved it and convinced my local shop to carry it…i can’t wait till the new line comes, thanks for the sneak peak!! I also can’t wait to get my hands on it and make some summer stuff! (i may have to sell my car to afford any more fabric at this point!) And the patterns and even more that we don’t know about…so exciting for you! and I’m so glad you are back in the blog…missed you!

  375. OK, I just watched the slideshow & I am in love. The music, the design of it all, those fabrics – stunning, simply stunning! You’ve done it again with two more SUPER FABU collections.

    Oh and love the new blog design!

  379. Love the new fabric line and can’t wait to see it in my local quilt stores. What color ways do I like best…..hard to choose. Keep up the good work designing fabric Heather.

  380. Congratulations on your new fabric line – and all the other wonderful things happening in your life. Those new fabrics look gorgeous!

  381. Wow! These are fantastic. I find out in a month if my first child is a boy or girl and I don’t really have a preference… but now… I’m thinking maybe girl so I have an excuse to use plenty of your new line!

  382. Holy crap, back with a vengence! I loved it all. I love the new blog look, the new FABRICS! (just found out I’m expecting identical twins, not sure yet if they’re boys or girls…but if they’re girls I can predict a LOT of pop garden/bijoux dresses in my future!), and all the new updates. The only thing I miss is that beautiful picture of you and in the banner, but there’s a little one now on the right, so that’ll have to do. Congratulations on all the excitement!

  383. Wow I just stated sewing and love your new line! I can’t wait to see if my store caries any and all the classes I can try. Amanda

  384. They’re all just gorgeous, can’t wait to get my hands on some. Congrats on your two year blogiversary and all the exciting things going on!

  385. Hi Heather! It looks like you are well on your way to 1000!! Lots of fun energy with the new fabrics. I must say, I have really enjoyed following your blog. It has been one of the reasons behind my renewed love of sewing and quilting. Thankyou for the inspiration.

  386. I’ve been waiting for this fabric forever… I can’t wait to get some of my own. I don’t know if I’ll be able to bring myself to cut into it; it’s so amazing. I wish I could wallpaper my house with it.

  387. Hi Heather! I love your new fabric collections and can’t wait to see more of your designs and patterns! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  388. Simply gorgeous! I can’t wait to hold them in my hand and sigh and just stare (still have to figure out what to do with the rest of my stash). I promise I will find a project that will do these beauties justice!

  389. Hi Heather! Congrats on the blogiversary! I love visiting your site to see the cool creative stuff you get up to. I’ve made several of the headbands (great pattern!), and I just tried “your favorite knot” the other day and I’m in some serious love! Can’t wait to see the new collection in stores!

  390. Only comment number 804. I can’t believe you’ll ever read this or that I have any chance with the random number generator, but here goes. The materials look lovely. I like your zingy colourways. Have a cool day!

  391. Ohh la la.. Love the new collections 🙂 I’m redoing my bedroom and these just might be the thing i was looking for 🙂 Fav color is white (technically a shade i think) gracias!

  392. I just recently found your blog in a search for fabric designers…love, love, love it! You have been an inspiration as an artists, as well as with your beautiful family. Thank you!

  393. Your page made me so happy and excited when I saw it.. Its so bright and beautiful! Man.. and to think I feel like I just checked it the other day and there are over 800 comments! I must check more often! Looks so great.

  394. Oh Heather – the new designs are gorgeous! I can’t wait to be able to purchase these and play with them.
    Pure BLISS awaits this seamstress!
    Grazie,
    Katherine

  395. oh I cannot wait for these to come out! they are sooo beautiful. your work is so amazing and inspiring. reading your blog is what has spurred me to be more creative in daily life.
    congrats on the new fabrics coming out!!

  396. Oh my goodness! What a wonderful surprise to see all this gorgeous spring color! Your new fabrics look absolutely beautiful – I especially love your use of red as a stark contrast. Very edgy and cool 😉 I can tell you’re having a blast with all these surprises – I can’t WAIT to see what patterns you’re releasing. I’m staying tuned!

  397. i could say so many things … as I so enjoy your blog, your spirit and your “stuff” … but also I seriously need some who-has 🙂

  398. Just gorgeous! Can’t wait to get my hands on some.
    And I’m in love with that font, the one you used for your name (on your header) and the word “garden”. Can you (or anyone who knows) tell me the name of that font?

  399. oh – you’re totally going to break a thousand comments on this one! offering treats from your collection is sure to bring even the most shy out of hiding! The fabric is quite lovely – totally worth the wait. Many thanks for sharing your gifts with the world 🙂

  400. Heather, this is all so amazing. I love the new look, the links, the peeks, etc. Your new fabric looks STUNNING! I can’t wait till it hits stores.
    Thank you for your generosity!

  401. WOW! Congratulations. Everything looks lovely. I never win these things, but it’s worth a try…thanks for doing this!

  402. The new fabric line is absolutely gorgeous!
    And I am super intrigued by ‘the new hair thingy’. With such fine and thin hair, I’m wondering if trash ties wouldn’t be just the ticket for some daring up-do’s. Or maybe even some not so daring…

  403. I have been sitting on the edge of my leather computer chair, anticipating this release since quilt market. I am more impressed than ever with your new work! I cannot wait to order yards of each one for sure for hours and hours of fun and gifts for all my loveys.
    XOXO
    JOY

    LOVED the sneak peek! Thank yoU!

  406. wow. i LOVE IT. do we really have to wait until the end of july? i have an idea for a perfect sundress and i would dearly love to make it right now… 😉

  407. So pretty! I’m still dying to know what the dogs’ names are. Thanks for sharing all of your creative wonderfulness.

  408. Well, thanks very much for a beauitful collection- and all thanks to your amazing website that actually inspired me to dust off my sewing machine a year ago and start sewing again (after a 16 year hiatus!)

  409. The new collections are just fantastic! Bright, juicy, delectable! Can’t wait to pick up a few yards =)

  410. This is sooo not fair! How can you put out 2! fantastic collections and my wallet still hasn’t recovered from my last large fabric purchase. How will I sneak so many yards into my sewing room without my hubby seeing???
    ;o)

  413. Oh your new website look is so much fun. Congratulations on 2 years now. That’s so much fun. I love the blue metal table in the picture, that’s so great to have since you can just use those magnet clips to put stuff down there as needed. I can’t wait to buy some of your new fabrics.

  414. Hello Heather,
    I read your blog at least once a week or more. I love all the spartly (sparkley+art) items you have and create. I would love to know how you get your photos to be so bright and vibrant?
    Take Care,

  417. The colors you chose for this new line are fantastic. I can’t wait to see ’em in person!
    Two years?! Geez, I can remember when you started this blog — how much time to I spend reading blogs?? Well, I don’t see myself changing, so keep up the good work! 🙂

  418. Oh, what beautiful fabric! I used to climb trees to read when I was little, and I used to hang upside down, and I knit, but combining them all sounds like a blast! Keep up the amazing creativity.

  419. How can I resist? Such a sparkling post and a give-away on top! But most of all: we are all lucky to have your blog around. Thanks Heather!

  420. Congratulations, Heather! What a big girl you are now–TWO! I love, love, love these collections..you have included lots of my favorite colors in the blues and greens so it makes me very happy to look at them. Can’t wait til they show up in my local shops.

  421. OOOOOOOOO, pick me! pick me! pick me!
    I can’t wait to get my hands on some of that large floral print! I can see it topping an ottoman with a full gathered skirt… ahhh.

  422. Oh, I hope you pick me!!! I’m like #800- something by now 🙁 As always, I love your stuff! Can’t wait to see more of it in the future! Take care.
    Melanie

  425. What a shock to see the makeover when I opened the page! I LOVE it!! I remember thinking…I wonder how fabric gets designed….and then I found your blog. And now I know the answer…well…as much as I was curious about! Your “job” sounds like a lot of fun….busy and crazy…but so much fun. Thanks for sharing your love of fabric and creating.
    and Happy Blogiversary!!

    Valerie

  429. Wow, I love the line! So pretty, so colorful. Hmmm, now what can I make with that? Lots and lots of pretty things = ) I would love to win some, please count me in!!

  430. I’ve watched your slideshow and I just can’t decide which are my favorites! I’m heading to our one and only quilt store (40 miles away – I live in the boonies) to see if they have any of the new line. Thanks for such an entertaining blog.

  431. The new line looks yummy!! Cant wait til its available. Thanks for sharing your talent and congratulations! I’d love to win your scraps 🙂

  432. Wow- the new fabric looks amazing! I can’t wait to get some. It looks perfect for fun summer projects!

  433. I’m jumping on board to tell you the new fabrics are incredible. I LOVE them! I enjoyed your slideshow. Lots of inspiration. I am new to comment, but have been reading your blog forever. Congratulations! Now, time for another look at the slideshow.

  434. Your new background is the exact pattern I’ve been looking for to make myself a new summer-y bag! I needed a nice bright green and there it is! Thanks! The new fabrics are all so beautiful.

  435. I thought I’d been checking everyday in hopeful anticipation for the new fabric. Sad, I guess I missed yesterday! But wow! What a lot of work it was worth the wait.

  436. Everything is beautiful. It all gets better and better each time something new comes out. Thanks for the constant inspiration.

  437. I am in love with your new line! These will be PERFECT for my daughter’s quilt that I am starting as soon as I get my hands on your fabrics!!!! Love your blog …. thanks so much!! – Melinda

  438. It looks beautiful and so dreamy. I just wanted to say my nickname growing up (well one of them) was Bijoux because my real name was Julianna, called Julie and shortened to Jules…hence the Bijoux as my father spoke French. I would have a heart attack if I won since I’ve never even won a cake walk (sadly a much cherished elementary school dream that never came to fruition) but I love all your creativity and wished we lived on the same block as well. My girls would love Charlotte!

  439. Wow! I stumbled on your blog about a year ago and have loved every post, picture, and project. Thank you for your inspiration!

  440. Wow! Love, love, love the new fabric line! I really don’t get to sew much as I am always taking photos – but I am kind of a fabric hoarder and must get this new line too! I still have Freshcut pieces that I have not done anything with – I must get on that! You are always an inspiration! Site looks fabulous as well!

  441. Heather love the new fabric collection! The colors are so happy. Thanks for sharing with us. I love to come and read you blog for inspiration for new things to try. You can come a knit with me anytime! I have lots of trees that we can hang upside down from.

  442. Wow, almost 1,000 comments in less than 24 hours! Holy cow! I just love the new fabrics and I have tons of Freshcut and would love to win more! You can never have enough gorgeous fabric! : )

  443. loving the new fabric designs, hope it makes it’s way to the fabric shops in my neck of the woods…
    so what DID you name those little doggers anyway?
    be well and happy blog-versary!

  444. congrats for the bloggiversary and the new collecteions! the look fantastic. i can’t wait for them to hit the stores.
    thanks for sharing!
    Michal

  445. Everything is so beautiful. I really love your style. I agree that it would be fun to live on the same street and hang out. We could go into San Francisco or Berkeley and go shopping, have ice cream, it would be loads of fun!
    Thanks for sharing snipits of your new line with us. It’s gorgeous!

  446. Wow! I just have to say how inspired I have been by you & your creativity since I stumbled across your blog and excitedly bookmarked it because of your painted chandelier. (It was to be the perfect solution for my ugly one that my husband was hesitant to replace – he was immediately on board for painting it – I just haven’t figured out how to get the dang thing down!) Anyway, thanks for always putting it out there and making time for this blog despite what must be the most insane schedule. It really does push me to try harder, create more and let my guard down and be myself. Thank you and congratulations on ALL of your many successes.

  447. I’ve always loved your blog design. Even more so now. And your fabric is absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Congratulations!

  448. I’m can’t wait to see all your new projects, so inspiring! Love the new blog look. Your giveaway sounds like a dream!

  449. Wow I am loving these new fabric patterns. I wasn’t sure if anything could measure up to Freshcut but these are all so gorgeous. I am already thinking of where I can sprinkle some Pop Garden in my life. Bags, pillow, home decor, okay this is becoming a really long comment, can’t wait til they are available in stores. 🙂

  450. As usual, beautiful beautiful things from you. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of that fabric (I’m sure my checkbook is more than patient, though)!

  451. Your fabric is amazing! I love it. I can’t wait until it gets to a store near me. The colors are perfect! It makes me want to sit out on a sunny porch and have a nice cool drink 🙂

  452. You inspired me to start sewing. I love your fabric. Thank, thank for some new prints to add to my collection.

  453. Yummo! Can’t wait to get my hands on some. It’s zesty and fun and gorgeous. Full of life!
    Looks like more ordering from the States ’cause I won’t be able to wait until it hits Australia.

  454. I absolutely LOVE your new designs … I can’t wait to get my hands on some of that fabric! And the blog is adorable. I’m so impressed with your creativity.

  455. Oh my goodness! Congratulations on two wonderful collections. So beautiful. And yummy, yummy greens. I do hope they will be available in England soon, too. 🙂

  456. Hi Heather! I’m 27 years old and just started sewing a year ago and I am loving it! The main reason that I am so excited about sewing is because of the fresh, bright, beautiful fabrics designed by you, Anna Maria Horner and Amy Butler. The three of you have truly gotten me ‘hooked’ to sewing because your fabrics appeal to my age. So, thank you for doing what you do so that I have beautiful fabrics to use as my creative palette! 🙂
    PS I LOVE your blog – the old design was as wonderful as your new one!

  457. Hi Heather, I just bought $100 worth of your scrapbooking products. Your new fabric lines are just WOW!

  458. WOWZA~!! Can’t wait to get my hands on some of those DELICIOUS fabrics!! Waiting patiently for the papers, too! I’ve been a long time lurker and coming out for the givaway extravaganza….go figure! Hee hee! Your fresh new blog design looks fabulous by the way!

  504. What a gorgeous feast for the eyes, so much beautiful colour and inspiring design. Thank you for sharing it on your blog!

  505. These are SO gorgeous. I can’t WAIT to have some of these, hope they come to my fabric store soon! Embarrassing story? There are too many to share. In high school I didn’t realize I had a hole in my pants and ended up exposing my leopard print undies to my entire sophomore class! Fun times, huh?? Love your site!

  506. Ooh, Heather! It’s wonderful, I love each and every one. You should be so very proud! I’m thinking a mish-mash 9-patch on point with a big floral border. . .traditional meets Heather Bailey’s oh so yummy fabrics. Thanks for sharing. Great job!

  507. Congratulations on your new fabric releases, your new puppies and your 2nd anniversary in blogland! Thanks for sharing your world with us.

  508. Heather, I have only recently discovered this whole new world on the internet of fabric and sewing and creating….it’s just what I needed. It even inspired by daughter to start her own little business selling her handmade cosmetic bags and she paid her way to church camp! And she feels proud of herself. I love passing sewing onto my daughter…at least the 4th generation of sewers! Thanks for your contagious inspiration. Jill

  509. What a fresh and spunky new look! Really, I love coming to your site for inspiration; it’s so refreshing to just drink in what project you’re taking on next–you’re quite the motivator for me!
    And this giveaway… absolutely fantastic!

  510. Congratulations from Australia. I love the new range and have had the pleasure of using Freshcut to make a number of things which I love. Freshcut has been really popular downunder!!!

  511. Oh so pretty! You’ve outdone yourself, and that is no samll task. Can’t wait to see the fabric in person.

  519. Digging the slideshow! How did you do that? You clever thing you. Please tell me you have help, and let me guess your are working it on a Mac.
    Love the tunes as well, who is it?
    Nice chatting with you at Quilt Market. Your smile and enthusiasm is very infectious. I have some great photos of us over at my blog.
    My fabric rep was in today and I was able to fondle your fabric (not in a creepy way) and do some minor dollar damage. Congrats the fabric is even more brilliant in really life!

  520. happy blog birthday! and thank you for the generous opportunity to win a gift from you when it should be the other way around on such occasions. 🙂

  521. Heather Bailey–
    You have just taken the flippin’ fabric cake, I tell you.
    Do you sleep?
    Do you eat?
    Do you brush your teeth?
    My guess. No. Not possibly. There can’t be enough time in your day for those oridinary, mundane things…
    How many insanely incredible and unbelievably awesome creative endeavors can one mother of two come up with?
    LOTS if your Heather Bailey.
    Keep’em rollin’, sister!
    MAC 🙂

  522. I would LOVE a chance to win anything from you! I love the blog re-design. Your new fabric lines are absolutely a dream…. I’ve been reading your blog for about a year & love it! Thanks for all you share!
    jen j. s.

  523. WoW! Those are some gorgeous fabrics!! I like your blog makeover! Great to see all that you do and thanks for sharing!
    Happy blogoversary! Would love to be included in your giveaway. : )

  524. Oh, these fabrics are gorgeous! I started sewing and quilting a while ago. And I keep craving your fabrics I see on the web, but the money currency change doesn’t help me any, for I live in Argentina. I hope I am the winning number!

  525. fantastic new collections, they are so bright and beautiful!
    now I really wish I could hang upside down and knit… two of my favorite things 😉 Only problem is the knitting would hang into my face so I wouldn’t be able to see ;P haha

  526. You are the such an inspiration! I stumbled on your site, and Amazing! I totally wish we were neighbors! But I am sure you hear that all the time. Love the fabrics, love the inspiration! Thank you!

  527. Wow – I so hope I get picked, too! That new fabric is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous – I love the intensity of the colors. I can’t wait to see it in person when it’s in the shops. Congrats on the new lines!!!

  528. I love that I can come to your blog and find a mish-mash of wildly gorgeous color, talk of “feeling gushy”, and words such as foible. Eclecticism is a beautiful thing. : )

  529. I love the new fabrics, Heather! I stumbled across your blog from a friend’s link to it and I’m glad I’ve stopped by! I feel so inspired now.. :O)

  530. Whoa nelly! That there is a whole lot of comments. I am late adopter, so I missed out on finding your last line in any stores near me! Hopefully I can find them this time.
    Katy

  531. Wow! Great new fabrics…and the slide show – excellent! that number generator had better be geared up for BIG numbers…..love the new look…

  532. I can’t WAIT until I can buy your new line. I am imagining so many beautiful things I can make with it.
    Michelle

  533. Gorgeous stuff as always! I can’t wait to grab up some of it. Crossing fingers I get picked and that you send one of your adorable pear pincushions! I can’t wait ’til you come out with a pattern for them. (Of course, anything else you would send would be amazingly designed and crafted too!)

  534. wow–your new fabric line is amazing–i can’t wait. i’m a little slow to the table since i just got a little bundle of freshcut and now i have Pop Garden to look forward to. congratulations again! with over 1000 responses (wow!) i don’t think i’ll win–but i just had to delurk to say that your work is beautiful.

  535. I just finished my last day of school (I’m a first grade teacher) and although I’m sad to see my lil’ scholars go, I am soooo looking forward to sewing all summer long! Your blog/work is so inspiring. Thank you!

  536. There are already over a thousand comments, so chances are not good that I might snap up some of your bloggity goodness, but this is a good opportunity to gush.
    Heather you inspire me so much. Even though you have described a bit about how you come up with/develop your designs, I would love to sit down with you and pick your brains. It would be a dream job of mine to design fabric. I love your sense of colour, and scale.
    If you ever come Down Under, I’ll be the non-scary stalker lady hoping some of your creativity might rub off due to proximity alone!
    Congratulations on a wonderful collection.

  537. the new fabrics are gorgeous…i imagine sewing my first skirt since i was 10 in one of these happy prints…and i can’t wait to make aprons and patchwork pillows in all these colors! hope july gets here soon…
    (and congratulations on two years of blogging)

  538. I’m about to decorate my new house: curtains, pillows, quilts, throws, chair cushions, etc.
    I think I may sit with bare rooms until I can find these fabrics in stores. It would be worth it. I’m blown away with the rich, bright hues and your incredible color palettes. Its magical!

  539. i love hoo-has and what-nots! and the new blog design. can’t help but add cheer to one’s day. keep hoping to find your scrapbook paper…
    all good wishes! and thank you.

  540. I’m sooo excited! Isn’t it funny the way fabric tells you what it wants to become? Your new prints are already speaking to me about how they want to be used!

  577. girl I love your fabrics and your site, color. it gives me COLOR. You are not afraid of color! I love it too, in fact my favorite color is…none. I love them all. I hate baby blue, thats it. I love all the rest. lol

  578. Congratulations on your new line! You are very talented and you have two adorable puppies. I like the names Clover and Iris or Hank and Ethel. I’m sure you’ll pick just the right names.

  579. I love the new fabric!!! I have never replied or blogged to anyone before. I have a suggestion for the contest, have people send in photos of the items they have made out of your other fabric. I have designed my own apron pattern and made it out of your Freshcut fabric it is fabulous!!! Just an idea!!!
    Lana

  580. Well Dear One,
    Every time, (and I mean every time), I see any of your fabric I smile.
    The colors are delicious and the patterns are wonderful.
    Thanks for another awesome give-a-way.
    Peace,
    Lynne

  581. I discovered your blog after you appeared in the Home Companion. I was wondering when the patterns (especially the dressed up pig) will be available. Everything is so cute that it is hard to be patient!

  582. Oooh! Can’t wait to see if my local shop gets your lines in…maybe I’ll just make a quick trip there for a special request;)

  583. Wow! I love your new fabric lines. I am still looking for the papers in my lss. And giving away Trash Ties. You are so awesome.

  584. OH WOW!! Looking at those fabrics makes me crave lemonade, under an umbrella, while barefoot. . . complete comfort, but pure elegance. Great job!

  585. Crossing my fingers and toes that random number generators count this high!
    Congratulations on everything you’ve accomplished!

  586. oh my heck!!! your new fabric is so great, i am in love. i love your blog and your style. thanks for the giveaway.

  587. Thought I’d POP in to say WOW!! Beautiful stuff–I especially love the red/green colorway. Of course, I’m kinda partial to that combo anyway. But seriously, you’re playful use of color and bold patterns is just so uplifting and always brings a smile to my face. Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us!

  588. mmmm… now I want to make aprons and matching tea cozies…. I LOVE the new fabric line. You are such an inspiration.

  589. love the new redo of the blog and site, very colorful and I love the new fabrics too! I can only remember one joke that my kids told me long ago which is” what do you call a deer with no eyes?” No idea!!!
    okay thats my lame joke! I am in the thousands of comments so who knows if I even stand a chance!!

  590. I have only recently been introduced to this whole new world of internet fabric, sewing, and inspiration. It rekindled my interest and trickled down to my 16 year old daughter! She started sewing cosmetic bags and has paid her way to church camp! Love your enthusiasm and beautiful designs and how they have helped me to pass this love down to my daughter. We are having such fun together! Thanks, Heather!

  591. Wow look at all the comments!!! The collections look beautiful! I love all the bright colors! Congratulations!

  592. I stumbled upon your blog just a couple weeks ago and I love your style and wonderful ideas! The new fabric is fantastic and I can’t wait to see what else you have coming down the pipeline in the future. Congrats!

  593. I’ve been a lurker for a while now–suppose it’s time to comment. Love all the inspiration & ‘eye-candy’ thanks for sharing! Would love to get my hands on some of your fabric (hoping our local quilt stores gets some soon) Thanks again!

  594. Your new line of fabric is wonderful! I love the colors and designs. I can’t wait to make something with them. Keep up the creativity!

  595. Your fabric is gorgeous! I’m waiting (somewhat)
    patiently for your patterns, the pear pincushion especially. The Trash Ties are ingenious, I have several favorite colors – hot pink, orange, green, turquise etc… And the effort you put into your blog is very much appreciated. Here’s to many more years of blogging! Thank you.

  596. Yet again, really beautiful.
    Great choice of music to accompany your little showcase – definately true!!
    Keep up the magnificent work girl!

  609. Everything looks beautiful! I have never posted before, but thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to contribute and hopefully win one of your little goodies :). I am a beginning sewer and love your blog because it inspires me every time I look at yours and other people’s beautiful creations! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!

  610. Ah heck … why not? Just because I didn’t make it in the first 1200 comments, doesn’t mean I don’t really, really like the fabrics. And the new blog.

I LOVE the new fabric line and cannot wait until the release and then the hunt begins for a store around me that has it!(it’s been difficult to find Freshcut even)
    Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live on a street filled with people who sewers, artists, knitters and the like? Life could be like one big artfest all the time!! bliss.

    and I just ordered more fabric from your freshcut line from your mom-in-laws site (well actually I just called and ordered it. They make me laugh every time I order) Anyways they just told me how “wonderfully, wonderful” your new line was and… oh I’m so glad you posted a sneak peak because it is every thing I was hoping for! and I have been dyeing to see it. I can’t wait for them to finally get it so I can buy it.

  678. You have the most beautiful fabric designs … i LOVE the colors you use … so happy and fresh! and I most especially love that you used a french word to name one of your new lines … i just can’t help but love everything french!

  679. Oh, such beautiful fabric! While viewing your fabric, I kept saying to myself, “Wouldn’t that be pretty as an apron…That would be a beautiful tablecloth…How about a three layered skirt…” Amazing fabrics!

  680. I LOVE the new Pop Garden & Bijoux collections. Your site looks wonderful, so colorful & cheery. Happy blogiversary to you.

  681. I love your fabrics – now if I could just find a store in my area that sells it.
    Have you decided on names for the dogs? I’ve got a schnauzer poodle mix, Ashton, who I adore.

  682. I absolutely LOVE your new fabric! I have been following your blog for at least a year and love all the inspiration you bring in your extremely creative designs. I have been requesting you at our local fabric store too, as I am a want-to-be sewer/ fabric collector with lots of dreams of things to make, but not ‘sew’ much skill! (working on it though!)

  683. Your fabric is so beautiful. I rarely comment on your blog, but I am imspired by your creativity for all things lovely. Thank you.
    Abby

  684. Heather, you are a great inspiration for me. I am only 23 and all i want is a house of my own to sew, embroider and quilt it all over with your fabrics and style.
    Thank you for what you inspire!

  688. Love it all! Must have it all! I see some new lovelies in my future. . . lounge pants, reversible wrap skirts, aprons, oh my heck perhaps even some new kitchen curtains!
    Thanks for the peek!

  689. I’m thinking being one of the later ones to comment will increase my winning chances. And this fabric line is STUNNING. Love your new blog look, also stunning.

  690. I can only say WOW! These fabrics are so right, contemporary and fresh! I can’t wait till they hit the stores and are sitting right here for me to play with!

    I just want to say that your designs are lovely. You are simply an inspiration!
    Beautiful! Truly a master at the art of artful blogging.

  692. I love your fabric as usual! You have a talent for putting together exactly the colors and patterns I never knew I wanted until I see them (:
    Can’t wait to sew with it!!!

  693. Luv your new fabric collections. It will be hard choosing which ones to start out with. Sarah

  694. Hi! It’s the first time I write a post in your blog. I’m Spanish and I’ve been visiting you for a lot of time. I love the pictures in your blog and your patterns and fabrics. These are so colourful!!!

  695. What an inspiration you are, both as a designer and entrepreneur. So glad to have seen you in Chicago in March. Loving these fabrics! Can’t wait to purchase them. Perhaps I will finally make the bitty booties that I have been wanting to create for far too long. Thank you for sharing yourself, your family and your creativity.

  696. Love the new fabric. I saw the quilt on Vivian Love’s blog. It is gorgeous! Do the dogs have names yet? I always wanted to get a pair of dogs at the same time to name Zool and Gozar, from Ghostbusters.

  697. The new fabric is just lovely! How very exciting!! I do think it would be awfully fun to try upside down knitting…. definitely would require circular needles though.

  698. This is a first-time comment on ANY blog. But I’m a secret stalker of your blog and it’s time to admit it. You make me want to be more creative. I can’t make anything unless it is spelled out for me EXACTLY in the instructions. Not only do you have great posts, but your blog is just pretty to look at. Thanks for the entertainment!

  699. I have enjoyed you blog for some time now but haven’t ever commented! i love the new line and the strawberries and the blog design. So fun!

  700. Hooray! Love love LOVE the new fabrics! Can’t wait to get my hands on them. Also, I don’t know if you are going to read all these 1300 comments, but if you do read this, could you let us know where we can pick up your fabrics here in the valley? I live in Mesa (I think you said you live in Gilbert or somewhere close by) and I’d like to know who carries your awesome stuff around here. Also, I really REALLY want to come to your Blissful Living Class, but since I’m ready to have my baby any day now, I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it. Are you going to have another class this summer, or are you going to have your patterns for the pincushions there for sale? I have been dying for your adorable pincushions. Anyway, I’m looking forward the the strawberry pretzel recipe (Love the salty/sweet combo) and congrats on your new product line!

  701. Oh my the new fabric is fabulous. I’m imagining all the things I can create utilizing it and it makes me smile.

  702. What a great new look to your site! I love looking at all your fun things and wonderful fabrics. I get all creative after poking around here!

  703. Happy Two To You! Bijoux & Pop Garden are fabulous, darling, I just can’t wait to turn them into garden totes, aprons – shoes! Hugs, k

  704. I love how bright and fresh the fabrics are– I was just dreaming about all the surfaces in my home I could accesorize with it and the summer dresses I could makes!!

  706. Thank you for sharing your beautiful fabric with us. I’ve been waiting to see the new collection and it doesn’t disappoint! I definitely will be getting some when it officially hits the stores.

  707. I am itching in my seat to buy this new fabric for my daughter’s room. I can’t wait until the release! Thank you for being what I have been looking for!

  708. I can’t get enough of your fabrics!!! I can’t wait to buy them and use them. Thanks for creating such wonderful designs.

    xx

  715. I love your new website design- and fabric collections. It is so fun to read your blog. Although I’m anxious for more puppy photos!

  716. Oh my! The new fabrics are gorgeous! I’ve already made plans for several of the prints 😉 They are so cheery, but with an air of sophistication. That is a combination that is not easy to pull off; as always, you have succeeded beautifully ^_^
    Also, your blog looks incredible. I actually spent a couple minutes just soaking it in before I read the post! =]

  717. Oh my Heather! I love everything. Could my quest for fabric for my daughter’s quilt finally be over?! Yay!

  718. I guess the mention of a giveaway brings everyone out of the woodwork – myself included! lol I have to say that the new fabrics look so yummy that I was drooling over my laptop (must stop doing that – it’s not good for the system!) Congrats on your new baby, and also on those two adorable puppies! Waiting patiently to get my hands on some of these new fabrics. Sarah

  719. Heather, I love your new fabric! If I don’t get picked I will rush out and buy my own collection of your new fabric. Keep up the good work!!
    -Rebecka

  720. Your site is so beautiful, that not only did I go and buy several yards of your Freshcut fabric for a quilt when I first discovered your blog, but I also made your site one of my homepages. Best of luck with your new fabric line and thanks for all of the beautiful photos, designs and inspiration!

  721. I loved your last fabric and this new one is just beautiful. I heard of you blog from a friend and always check to see what’s new and I’m never let down!

  722. Wow! I am sooooooo inspired by your wonderful prints, ideas, quilts, fabrics, everything! Pick me, pick me!

  723. Oh boy, looking at your newest line makes my fabric addiction start to surface again – just when I thought I had it tamed. Do you think my son would mind dressing in those decadent florals? Nice work mama, you inspire us all.

  724. can’t wait for the new fabrics to hit the store!
    I love them! Love your blog too, it’s one of my daily reads! (well, if there’s something new to read anyway) Thanks!

  725. Wow i love your new fabric line they are so colourful and bright. Will i be able to get them in the UK?
    Mellx

  726. Your new fabric lines are amazing – oh the possibilities, oh the projects, oh the dreaming …. I enjoy seeing what the blogging world creates with Freshcut and look forward to seeing the creations from Pop Garden & Bijoux.. Congratulations and celebrate your talent daily.

  727. Heather, I love the new line. I can’t wait to get my hands on some. You are so inspirational. Congratulations on all of your hard work.

  728. Wow- the new fabric is delicious! 🙂 Can’t wait to get my hands/sewing machine on it! AND hopefully the new strawberry pattern too- you have me addicted! LOL

  729. I’m knitting impaired, so hanging upside down and knitting might work for me. LOL
    I’m nosing around since I’m new. I can see I have a lot of reading to do around here. So TTYL!

  730. First of all…Happy 2nd Blogiversary! Second…OH MY! your new line is lovely and makes me tingly all over much like your last one. I really and truly love your creative mind and am so grateful to you for sharing it with the world at large. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the prize packs…I am on the edge of my seat. Here’s to hoping the FATES are on my side for this random moment in life. :c)
    BTW…what did you end up naming your new little furry children?

  731. I read your blog all the time. I am so glad you will be blogging more. I love to see all of the inspiring pictures and projects. A funny aside, I briefly knew your sister-in-law at BYU. We were in the same married ward. What a small world it is! Keep the inspiration coming!

  732. I love the new fabrics… We will definitely need to make some children’s clothing using them.
    I like the blog’s facelift and yes, wouldn’t it be wonderful if all of our friends from Blog World lived nearby.
    can’t wait for the fabric to “hit the stores.”

  733. You remind me to believe that a woman who wants to can do anything.
    I can’t wait to use some of your new line with your pincushion pattern! I use my grandmother’s old purple tomato, and it needs to be retired.
    Thank you.

  734. Your fabric is absolutely fabulous! I am so excited to start carrying it in our store (Blissful Living Studio) and the anticipation for your class is killing me! I am so excited and look forward to seeing you again!

  735. Wow – I get so many compliments on my Trash Ties, I’d love to win some more and be able to get even more creative with my ‘do’s!
    Your site is such an inspiration and a great kick in the pants to get a move on my own art. I always enjoy a visit!
    Thanks for the chance to enter such a fabulous contest!
    ~ Carole

  736. How lovely are those fabrics?! I have been wanting to make a bright and cheery quilt for my daughter and I now know exactly what fabric to buy! Can’t wait for it to hit the shelves 🙂 Congrats on 2 years and on some wonderfully beautiful fabrics!!

  737. I have been following your blog for a year now and I am so inspired by your fabrics and projects. I am addicted to quilting and creating trinkety things with all of my scraps. Let no fabric go to waste!! I am soo excited to be able to use your fabrics on my next creation. Thank you!

  738. Oh my goodness! What gorgeous new fabrics!!! The new blog look is gorgeous too – inspiring just to visit and look at 🙂 As for the dogs… I think Buster and Patty because for some reason I thought of peanutbutter patty for their names (think yummy, candy goodness 😉 and that separated to Buster and Patty.
    Good luck – names are tricky!

  818. Gorgeous prints! I have to say that living in San Diego, I’m so jealous of the lucky ducks in Phoenix who get to be creative in your workshops at Blissful Living. I can’t wait to check it out next time I’m in that neck of the woods!

  821. I first came across your blog a few weeks ago, via your “Sugar shop” post, and was fascinated by the yummy glass jars, and then your fabrics, and then the rest. I have been wanting to start a blog for a while now, but then I come across blogs like yours, which is so absolutely fabulous, and i get a little shy. But inspired 🙂 Thank you for sharing this sweet colourful world!

  822. The new line is amazing! It makes me feel like spring could last all year. And the new pincushions are yummy. My mom and I will love making some together.

  824. I’m so glad you are back! I love the new blog look and the new fabric! I can’t wait to go pick some up!

  825. Holy cannoli! That fabric looks great. I picked up an elaborate picture frame at an antique shop earlier this year, sanded it and painted it a Tiffany blue. It looks good, but it would look fantastic with your fabric behind it, wrapped around a cork board. What a great bulletin board that would make!

  826. Heather,
    Your new fabrics are BEYOND lovely! I am already plotting *several* new quilts – and a few handbags, tunics, totes….hmmmm…..!

  827. What a beautiful collection of fabric. I just love your designs and can’t wait to start sewing with your newest creations!!

  828. Love Love LOVE it! Perfect for the summery bag I have been fabric searching for. Off to ponder all the possibilities…and hope for a lucky number.

  832. What a wonderful way to celebrate a whole bunch of really good things all at once – you are too kind! It would be just a delight to be the recipient of your lovely giveaway, but as I am not generally the winning type, I’ll just wait on pins and needles and with bated breath until our ‘Fabric Shack’ gets your lovelies in stock!

  833. Oh! The new prints are lovely! I’ve been hinting to the little fabric store nearby that they need to get your stuff for over a year now. They have a little FreeSpirit but definitely not enough. Oh, to touch it!

  834. I cannot stand it, my daughter and I gushed over those fabrics forever today. She is 12 and is taking a Summer sewing camp at Fabrika, a darling little sewing stroe here in the historic downtown area. It will be a Project Runway type deal where they design their own patterns. I can”t wait. Hope they get your fabrics in, it’s in late July!!!

  835. fan-tab-ulous gorgeous stuff there! so so pretty and inspiring… enjoy that ice cream, sounds SO delish!

  836. your fabric is beautiful and so eye catching, it makes me want to sew whatever is in my creative brain… i am truly inspired by your fabric and taste, it’s a one of a kind that has its own classic nature. what i would give for a brain like yours!!

    The fabrics are so beautiful…I hope I will be able to find them here in Canada. Please enter me in the contest if it’s not to late. Congratulations on your new fabric collection.

  839. Love your fabrics, your ideas. Can’t wait to try out the new fabric line. Keep the creative ideas coming!

  840. Heather – I am a fellow Arizonian out here in Buckeye. I am raising two girls and love to just catch up on your blog every once in a while. Your fabrics are so refreshing and I love that you keep sewing so hip 🙂 Good Luck on your new line!

  841. I recently found my love of climbing trees. No knitting just yet, reading rather. but it reminded me of that pleasant dream you shared!
    This is redundant, I’ve said it, along with several others, but I love your work. This is what I want to do when I grow up! What gave you your start?

  842. You are an inspiration! I hope I am not too late for the drawing! I would love to make a baby quilt for the one growing strong inside me!

  843. Hello! My friend sent me the link to your new fabric selections this morning, and I’ve been dreaming about that all day long. The colors are so vibrant, the patterns are stunning. I’m mad for them. I can’t wait until the end of July! Thanks for sharing.

  844. Wow, the new fabrics were worth the wait. I can’t wait to dive into some projects. Especially headbands. Did you ever post the pattern for the book bags you made for your girls as part of the Mary Engelbreit cover shoot? I do so cover those book bags.
    I hope i am not too late to get into the drawing!

  883. Congrats on being 2, Heather! I like your new site 2! Lots of eye candy going on HERE. Your new fabrics make me want to get in there and learn how to be a better sewer.

    2 Thumbs Up 2 You!

  884. Oh by the way, I do have an ice cream maker and have made lots of vanilla ice cream (keeping it simple). It’s been a while since I cracked it out. Now, looking at those delicious looking photos is making me want to dust it off and start experimenting…with strawberries and pretzels. Sounds a bit weird, but I’ve been tempted! 😉

  885. Your enthusiasm for all things creative is contagious! Can’t wait to see your new fabric in person.

  886. So happy that the pear pin cushion pattern coming soon! I don’t know how you do it all heather. I love the paisley polka dot fabrics you just put out!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new blog design. I usually read from a feeder but am so glad I visited your site to enjoy this dose of color. I’m crossing my fingers the generator will pick me…I’ve been wanting to try a trash tie for ages to see if it works with my wacky hair and I’d do nearly illegal things for your amazing patterns.

  898. As a total newbie to quilting, but an old hand at sewing spinning and knitting, I am very pleased to have found your site. Such colour! And so vibrant. It feels summery even on a winters day, such as we are having here in Oz 🙂

  899. Come on lucky number number 3,678 or whatever it is that I am. I would consider myself a winner for having found your website though, and for the inspirational treat with every new post.
