Thanks for playing! This giveaway is now over 🙂
Want a shot at one of these? They are passing them out left and right at Quilt Market, and since you are on the Quilt Market tour bus, perhaps one will find it’s way into your studio!
One of the obvious favorite lines from Quilt Market is little apples by Aneela Hoey of ‘Comfortstitching’. The colors of this line are much more intense than the Sherbet Pips colors and they will be just perfect for summer and fall! Aneela’s booth was too cute for words, so I’ll let a picture do the talking:
Moda was going for a ‘country fair’ theme and I think it really worked! The little apples fabrics really stood out due to the intensity of the aquas and greens and her booth was always crowded.
I loved this little pillow. All of the embroidery in Aneela’s booth must have taken forever, and each piece was so exquisite. Aneela shared her booth with a new designer from across the pond ‘Cabbages and Roses’. They are a mother daughter team and their new line Northcote will be out around the same time as Aneela’s fabric hits the shelves. The fabric is made of light, airy florals and there was a Union Jack quilt made out of it that I could love forever. Unfortunately, I was so in love with this dress, I forgot to take any other pictures!
Needless to say, it is made up of some amazing florals. Dear Cabbages and Roses, I am sure this dress will fit me. Pretty please? <3 a crafty fox
So there you have it. Gorgeous fabrics from Britain. It seems like such great things are happening in the fabric world and so many more choices are being offered.
Now, if you would like a chance to win the little apples mini charm pack (and free pillow pattern designed by Aneela including an embroidery pattern!) here is what you do:
Leave me a comment. It is that easy. I don’t like hoops to jump through, and I am guessing you really just want to put this in your pocket and head to the cosmo cricket booth where they are handing out more mini charm packs (hint!). Leave me a comment saying something nice about someone else, on the blogosphere or not. (preferably not about me, that would just be awkward). I’d love links to what you are talking about, but it isn’t required at all.
Thanks for reading and I can’t wait to share this line with you!
ETA: Please pretty please leave me some way to get in touch with you! I’ll close this giveaway friday night-ish 🙂
Hey Amanda, thanks so much for an awesome giveaway! (I can only hope your Circa 1934 giveaway is this easy to enter.) LOL, of course it’s her choice how difficult to make her giveaway, but Heather’s (House of a la Mode) new one where you have to name who the people are in her photos…Too difficult!:)
Yay!!! I was hoping someone would do a giveaway with their Market goodies! Thanks girl!
I really wish I could go to a quilt market one day too.
Sadly germany is not a quilting heaven so I enjoy all those lovely pics taken at the quilt market.
Oh my, yes, a thousand times yes! I’d be happy to find a loving home for the bitty lovelies!
replying to your posts is so much easier than those i’ve visited in the past, i am about to take a stroll around your blog to see waht other wonderful things i can find! btw, they are just handing out bundles? i need to be there, where ever there is! lol
One day I will be able to go to a quilt market, too! All over blog land I see fab pictures of colour and patterns and yummmm…. thank you for sharing your lovely little charm packs with those of us, who coludn’t be there!
What a lovely giveaway! Thank you! I wish I could have been at the quilt market — I feel like there are more fabric lines coming from it that I am excited about than usual. And you have 2 that I’m extra-excited about right there in the mini charm packs (I’ll let you guess which 2 it is).
oh what fun these little bundles are…the ultimate tease! I was just talking to a flickr friend about how nice and encouraging everyone is on flickr! i post a pic and blam…someone is there to say something nice…too sweet!
Absolutely LOVE little apples – can’t wait for it to come out! And the Cabbages & Roses – gorgeous. Now I want to see the union jack quilt! Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m excited for this line, and for the new Cosmo Cricket (want to know how they got that name? it’s a funny story). Ooh, I should do a Name Game on THEM! Whew. Back on topic, and the new Sweetwater, and AMH. *sigh* I need to start saving my pennies!
Those are super cute, and a very great idea.
Adorable!! I feel validated to leave a comment because I read all of your blog posts! Go Kimber! And guess what?! I used the sewing machine like 2 days ago! I actually threaded it and all! Are you so proud of me, because I sure was proud of myself 🙂 Those little fabric squares would be perfect for my next project. At least they’d inspire me to do another project! And something nice about little froggie: I miss her, she’s adorable, she’s pretty funny too. I need a facetime/video chat soon!!
Thanks Amanda! And how about I tag along your side the next time you go to one of these!!! Heh heh
Thanks for the giveaway! I LOVE these mini charm packs!!!
Lovely giveway. I adore the photos from the quilt market!
I loved your photos of the booth. The only photo I managed to get was of the Union Jack quilt (posted here: http://prsd4tim2.blogspot.com/2011/05/wonderful-to-get-away-lovely-to-be-home.html ). Complementary skills, or thoughts or something, perhaps? Anyway, thanks for letting me share this with you. I had a great time.
How do I like them apples? I like them very much, thank you!
I love following http://straystitches1.blogspot.com. Linda writes a very entertaining and informative blog! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh no! I am drooling all over myself 🙂 I bet Quilt Market was heaven on earth!

Thank you for a chance to own one of these lil charm packs 🙂
just found your lovely blog! I would love to win, just finished a cute quilt with Sherbet Pips & love Aneela’s style!
Say something nice about someone? Well, everyone I encounter in the blogasphere is nice, so I’ll say that my husband is the one I’ll pick! He doesn’t even flinch when the mailman brings me more packages and admires everthing I sew! He cooks & unloads the dishwasher & is so super nice! I wouldn’t trade him for anyone!
And I’d love some apples, please!
They are so tiny and cute!! I am so sad there will be no quilt market near me 🙁 I would LOVE to go!
I’ll be awkward and say something nice about you! I’m loving your blog and the chance to see inside of the elusive Quilt Market (for me at least). And I really like the font you’re using on your blog!
Such great fabrics coming out! Thank you for the giveaway!
These are some of my favourite online friends (and I’m sure we’d be friends if we ever met in real life too), not because they have big fancy blogs, but because they’re really nice people.

Such cute little squares! From what I’ve read everyone just adored Aneela at market and they loved her little tatoos. So clever!
That’s such a cute line and the mini squares make them even more cute looking 😀
Thanks for the chance!

would love to be at market! but i’m loving hearing all about it through blogs & flickr…. maybe someday!
Thanks for all of the photos — one day I’ll make it to market. I think it looks overwhelmingly fun.
Something I loved that saw today — this quilt by the well loved Lynne: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lilysquilts/5729787788/
I am almost always blown away by what she does, and then her description and blog posts make me crack up. Pretty and funny — a great combination.
Thanks for the chance to win some Apples!
I’d LOVE to go to market someday and check it out. 🙂 Thanks for a nice giveaway!
I would love to get my hands on some of these cutsie little squares! How fun!
I’ve only just got my hands on Sherbet Pips! How fab would it be to have some of this NOW! Blogland- so many wonderful people out there- Mary @ MollyFlanders, Rachael @ BlueMountainDaisy, Lynne @Lily’sQuilts, Janet@QUiltsalott!!!
Loving all the pics from Quilt Market! It’s so inspirational to see all the new fabric lines in the works. As for something nice: she’s not on the blogosphere, but props to my Mom who taught me how to sew (and so much more)!
Thanks so much for the chance to win these! Your photos of her booth are amazing!!!
I’m have a fabric giveaway, too — hope you stop by!
love the little apples! the colors are so perfect together. and aneela seems like such a nice person.
Thank you for the offer. I just love reading about Market and designers and all the beautiful and fun new fabrics.
I’m so looking forward to Aneela’s new line of fabric but everything seems to take ages to arrive in the UK!!
Aneela has such a great blog and I enjoyed reading about her time at the Quilt Market
Little Apples is adorable! Thanks for offering to share, and for your recap posts of market, been awesome to follow along 😉
Aneela’s new line is adorable. I just adore those little apples. Too cute! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Thanks for sharing so many details about Quilt Market! I’d love to win 🙂
These are so sweet! I’ve not been to quilt market, so I’ve had a wonderful time reading all about it & living it thru the photo’s!
OMG, too cute!
Thanks for a chance at winning fantastic fabric Amanda!
Wow, wouldn’t it be great to have the chance to have a little play with tis fabric!
Great photos! Thanks – I love getting an insight into Quilt Market through everyone’s blogs 🙂
My someone nice would today be a generic reference to the world of quilting bloggers! I honestly think they are just the nicest, most genuine people. It always lifts my spirits to see how generous, encouraging and supporting bloggers can be!
A-dorable! Can’t wait for this line to come out 🙂
I didn’t see anyone giving out mini-charm packs. I’m thinking that I missed out on a lot of goodies! Oh well.
yum little apples!!! I like how Aneela posts about her life, her sewing space and the stories behind how her fabric designs came about. For a beginner like me its so encouraging to see the similarities in our lives!
Ooh lovely of you to share your goodies from market! Thank you! The nice thing I will say is that I am absolutely blown away by the creativity and generosity of quilty bloggers. I’ve only been blogging for a year and a half and I can honestly say a whole new wonderful globe full of friends has been opened up to me.
How adorable is that little bundle! I am just loving A.H. and her Pips! I recently was part of the Doll Quilt Swap on flickr and was so pleased when my partner made me a mini Pips quilt! Now I want to hunt for these apples too!
Oh Wow! I’m loving your blog (and the font makes me happy!) My nice shout out goes to crafty bloggers in general. I mean – really – we all seem to just connect so well and invite others to jump in when they can. And seriously – have you seen any other group of bloggers do as many giveaways?
Ok- off to go look around your blog a bit more. 🙂
I agree Market was a phenomenal experience. It looks like you have a fantastic time.
Thank you so much for the chance!! I love the look of Aneela Hoey’s new line, would love to have some!!
Aneela is so down to earth, and her fabric is adorable!!
