SIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.
That's my big sigh of relief. After months- MONTHS!- of dreaming of and working hard to get to this moment, it has finally arrived.
I now have fabric to sell!
But first, I have fabric to GIVE AWAY! YAY! For those who are familiar with this tree print, I would like to introduce you to its new official name (a stage name, if you will...): Walk Through The Woods. When running the pattern I decided to do a Spring and Autumn colorway... this way there's twice as many uses for this fun print. Actually, seeing them both now, I have to wonder if I don't lean a little more towards the Autumn color as it matches my living room exactly (weird, huh?)
This is a 50% linen/50% cotton blend weighing about 6oz sq/yd. It's a nice hefty weight ideal for many craft projects. It's surprisingly soft with a good drape. More details on the washing will be found at the listing in my shop. I can't wait to see what people will make with it down the road- I hope those of you out there who purchase it will share their projects with me (see this post for details)! This is so exciting, I am besides myself with glee.
OK, enough chit chat, right? Here's the scoop on the giveaway!
There will be 3 prizes:
1. The grand prize winner (1st number drawn) will receive a parcel containing 2 fat quarters, measuring 18"h x 26"w one of each Walk In The Woods colorway. They will also receive 1 linen swatch from my shop of their choosing. (a $42 value)
2. The 1st runner up winner (2nd number drawn) will receive 1 fat quarter of Walk In The Woods- winner's choice of color. (a $17 value)
3. The 2nd runner up winner (3rd number drawn) will receive a single linen swatch from my shop in a pattern of their choosing. (an $8 value)
Rules (yeah, those pesky things)
1. Leave a comment telling me your single favorite color and why. Be as specific or vague in name, as poetic or as basic in description as you wish- but you must choose only one color and you must tell me why. I think coming up with just one color is very difficult, but when you settle on it, it's easy to say why you like it so much. My advice is to be impulsive and just go with the first one that enters your head- even if it's *MUSTARD!*. I know, I'm a stinker for making you work so hard, but I sort of think it's fun, don't you? Don't worry, I won't hold you to it! This is just pure curiosity on my part and this seems like a perfect venue for asking such a thing.
2. On Wednesday May 28th, 9:00pm EST my son and I will draw a winner. That is he will help if he's not too bored with this project by now. He was getting a little blasé about it last time. There goes my little helper!
3. Anyone in the world can participate!
4. Be sure to include your contact info. If I can't contact you and/or you don't claim your prize within 3 days, I will choose another winner and those under the grand prize winner will be bumped up to the next level, meaning the new chosen winner will become the 2nd runner up, etc...

Wow they are beautiful. Where will we be able to purchase? My favorite color has been green for a long time. Really any time of green but right now I am into a sage green. My draw to it is the connection to nature and the main color in my wedding.
Wow! How beautiful!! And you did that!?!
My favorite color is black, although my kids constantly tell me black is not a color. I say if it's in the Crayola box, it's a color.
I love black because I look good in it, it has become my trademark color, it makes me look thin and because I think black is mysterious.
I own way too many black shirts and dresses but I love every one of them.
My house, on the other hand, is lots of pastels but I did manage to weave a lot of black in my dining room by way of a wrought iron rocker, clock and some little black teddy bears.
Gorgeous! Love this fabric!
My fave color is red! Pretty much all hues of it (except for rose or pink) will do it for me. It's so vibrant and it looks great paired with black!
[inki]
Yay for your fabric. I'm so excited for you...I like both colorways, but like you, I lean more towards the orange/fall.
As far as favorite color...in what context?
Clothes: black
First color that came to mind: blue
Top choices from color personality test: lime and fuschia
Favorite color for walls: red
Best color for me to wear: springy green
I'll stop now...
Gorgeous and big congratulations - you are so inspiring!
So, my favorite of color is pretty tough being a painter and very interested in combinations of colors, but impulsively if I have to choose just one at this moment I'd have to say periwinkle. Because sometimes really early in the morning or during a sunset it is the color I see in the sky and it is very rare to find there and jsut so delicious!
My favourite colour is blue, because it's the colour of water and sky (and a blue sky is sometimes the brightest things around in the winter).
I just love those colorways they are really lovely, It's hard for me to choose only one color , because I enjoy combinations and cold colorways, that's why my favorite color is Blue in any hue, blue relaxes me and makes me feel cool and energetic at the same time lol
Yay for blue and your lovely fabric collection!
Have a nice day!
Wonderful fabric!! I love them both!
I'm partial to the green.
Green is my favorite color...the color of leaves in the summer, the color of the sea, the color of 80% of my bead stash!! I can definitely saw it's any shade of green but when it comes to semi-precious stones, my favorite by far is PREHNITE.
Thanks for the Giveaway Michelle!
Oh my just one color!? Well I have to say it's RED...not just any red...it has to have the hues of some orange,a little rust and a touch of brown. Does that make sense? Hahah...I have that color in almost every room in my house...it just makes me smile :)
My favourite colour is olivegreen. Why, because I look good in it.
Those are both beautiful. I especaily love the Spring.
It is hard to choose one color. I would say pink because its so happy. But in reality my favorite color has always been green, in all shades. I love springtime because everywhere you turn green is peaking up in all its glorious shades. I love it so much I even have two pairs of green shoes (they make me so happy).
Those are great prints!
My favorite color (at the moment) is sienna. It's a rich combo of the dry summer heat and the cool autumn breeze.
Very cool! I really like the print. I hearted it, so I'll be able to come back to it when I finally get around to sewing shades for the house. It'd look quite nice in my dining room.
As for my favorite color, my first thoughts were 'blue -- no! purple...um...blue!', so blue it is. I can't say why I like it, really. I think a big reason is that I never saw anything natural that was blue, except the occasional perfect day, until I was about 12. Reds, yellows, greens you can find in plants, on birds, rocks, etc., but nothing really matched the color that I could find in my crayon box or that my fingers were constantly stained with from fingerpainting. I've seen true blue lakes, glaciers, now, but it's still my top color.
*sigh* I was in hearting away your fabric last night. I'm happy you finally have it in your shop!
My favorite colour right now is like a spring(ish) aqua/turquoise/colour of the gulf ocean in Florida colour. That could have a little to do with just getting married down there. Its actually similar to your summer bubbles fabric.
(I also have become rather fond of pink, but pink fabric doesn't currently suit my decor)

teal.
I've lived in five different cities in the past five years, which is tough for someone who really wants to own a teapot. You can't just take a teapot with you across continents. But, I like teapots. And in my mind, I have this beautiful vintage-look kitchen, with soft, seafoam green teal and white as the dominant colours, and just hints of deep cherry red here and there. And a prominent place for my teapot -- a sleek, smooth bubble of a teapot, in teal, which I don't yet own, but am looking forward to purchasing, onces these legs stop moving long enough for me to set down some roots.
teal.
You are so right, picking a favorite color is hard. What pops into my head right away is pink, rose pink, not pale pink. Why, that color seems to calm me and invigorate me at the same time, it is romantic and sweet but vibrant too. When I shop for clothes I seem to be drawn to that color, it seems to work with my pale skin. When I quilt that color seems to find it's way into most of my quilts also.
Thanks for the chance to win some of your lovely fabric.
I just had to say how pretty your blog is! Kudos :)
Green! A nice spingy leafy green - Spring is my favourite season and a little bit of spring green in the middle of winter can work wonders to cure the winter blues!
Just found your blog via picciolo! I'm going to bookmark it fast! :)
Gorgeous fabric. I love that you made both the Spring and Autumn colorways. Great design!
I always always always choose BLACK!
Black is sexy. Black is cool. Black is not basic!
Congratulations on the fabric, incredibly exciting!
For years I refused to even consider a favorite color, it is to much like trying to pick a favorite child. Each one is unique and brings it's own special qualities to the table. They are all cherished!
But I have noticed that I seem to have a particular fondness to certain greens. Chartreuse, olive, sage, lime, sea glass green... and I really dig what I refer to as "ugly greens" which seems to be a combination of the first two greens I listed. But the real reason that I think I like green so much is how it relates to all the other colors. It makes them pop, yet keeps things calm at the same time. Green is good!
Robin's Egg Blue is my absolute favorite. I love how cheery and fresh it is, and I especially love that it's a little bit more accepted by the Mr. (in home decor that is) than my second favorite colour: pink. ;)
I am so excited for this giveaway I can hardly stand it!
I love off white, cream colored, you know what I'm talking about? It is so serene and makes me happy and peaceful feeling. It is simple and sophisticated all at the same time. Love it!
how did you know my favorite color is mustard? Allen thinks I'm crazy, but for some reason yellow and minty green make me happy inside. Your new fabrics are the bees knees!
I love sage green. It just sounds so wise! Hope to win the fabrics, I have just the project picked out: a pillow for my daughters miniture rocking chair.
My favorite color changes with the seasons. Since we are in spring I'm very into yellow. It is strange because I never really liked yellow until this year! And soon it will probably be white for summer, green for fall and red for winter!
What an awesome giveaway!
My favorite color is turquoise. It reminds me of the crystal clear water of the Caribean ocean, of the breeze and light scent of salt water, of dipping my toes into the cool refreshing water. The color provides me with really great memories of my family in Puerto Rico.
LOVE this design in both colors.
My favorite color: green. Simply, because to me, green represents life. Pure, wonderful life!
How beautiful. :D It's hard to pick just one favorite color. For me most of the color's personality comes through by combining it with other colors. But I love little hints of bright orange-red. :)
I'm a lime green person lately. I make quilts, and that color seems to fit into any color scheme right now. I'm sure I'll be changing in a month or two. *S*
I LOVE your fabrics, btw.
oh me me me!! (jumps in the air with her hands up) I would definately like to enter please, what wonderful prizes. I love the two colourways, just perfect.
ok, my one favourite colour would have to be a raspberry pink with reddish tones, this colour to me is warm yet fresh, comforting yet zingy. I won't tell you how long it took me to choose my colour!
: )
Hooray! I don't want to be entered b/c I don't want to make my fabrics feel unloved and b/c I can't follow the rule of picking ONE color! Love them all!
wow just beautiful fabric and what an awesome giveaway! :) but just 1 color you say?? ooo ok well you said go with my first thought and that was pink. I love all colors, but have always loved pink! its the girl in me i guess. Something about it, makes me think of childhood, makes me think of spring/renewal. Its bright, its fun, its cheery, but yet soft and calming :) yep i love pink! :)
ohh and you can find me as missknits on etsy too by the way! :)
Oh, you evil temptress! I love trees... I love fabric... I love your designs... *sigh*
My favorite color is celadon. It's that gorgeous light, slighly muted blue-green seen in a lot of glazed Chinese pottery. (I have a small collection.) It is so soothing and wonderful in a bedroom with other blues, greens and little punches of deep pink or red. Mmmmmm...
OOOO!!! I love how the fabric turned out!! Beautimus!
My favorite color changes with the seasons, but at the moment it is green. I love it because it calms me just to look at it and makes me think of my husband because it is his favorite color too.
The fabric looks great. The colors of the "spring" line would look lovely in my house.
But, my favorite color has always been pink, since I was very little. And, I am still very girly.
wow, beautiful fabrics!
My favorite color is and always has been since I can remember is Purple. I love all the different shades, it is very soothing to me. I can't even explain the feeling I get when I something beautiful with purple colors.
If I should be so lucky as to be a winner, you many contact me through my blog or through my etsy shop http://punkynmunky.etsy.com
Oh - fabulous fabric! And awfully nice of you to give some away!!
My favorite colour is blue... but not just any blue - it's gotta be electric blue. It's happy, it's energetic and it gets your attention. It's also pretty. I had some in my hair a few years ago.... should do that again.
Beautiful! Hooray for you. I added your "home" shop as a favorite so I can keep an eye on it :)
My favorite color is slate gray. It's sleek, mysterious, dark- but not too dark, and beautiful!
My favorite color has always always been green. It is so fresh and clean and full of memories! My eye is always attracted to green things, and it always makes me happy!!
My close second (for extra credit!) is the color of the sky when you look through yellow sunglasses. Ahh.... It is so great!
Pewter. I don't know why. But I'm just drawn to anything in a dark grey (preferably metallic)
Awesome giveaway!!
I love the fabric! It's gorgeous! Right now my favorite color is aqua because it reminds me of clear tropical water on some gorgeous Balinese beach, which is where I'd like to be right now!!! Good luck with your new project!
Your fabric is gorgeous! My favorite color recently is yellow because it's so refreshing and happy - it cheers me up instantly.
My favorite color is spring green because it reminds me that there is always time to start again. It's no surprise then that I love your summer colorway...beautiful!
I love all shades of purple. This has been my fav color for as long as I can remember. I even had purple carpet in my 1st house. lol
dolls123[at]gmail[dot]com
My favorite color is orange. It's warm and happy and it somehow works in so many unusual combinations... just makes me happy!
My fav colour is scarlette red because it says "I'm red and who the hell are you?"
kelligotje@bigpond.com
The fabric is beautiful!
My favorite color changes with my moods and the way I feel. Right now - its black with an accent of another color (red, pink, white). My mom made me an all black and white quilt that I curl up with when I don't feel good and I have been having health issues lately so its been my constant companion at home and its color scheme has krept into the rest of my life and wardrobe!
Ok sunshine, here we go again...I'm feeling lucky! My favorite color is yellow. As typical as it sounds it makes me happy. I may even say perky...yep perky!
Love that favric! My fav color is Lilac b/c when me and my husband first started dating the lilacs were in bloom at my house and we'd sit outside talking and smelling the lilacs :)
You can convo me on etsy: http://babylyons.etsy.com
Oh the fabric is beautiful.
Red.
I want to say green, a mossy green but I am drawn to red and I only realise it when looking through my flick and seeing all the red I use. I use it so much. I wander around fabric shops looking for red. It is all about red. It surprises me, because there isn't a whole lot of red variety. Mix it with white and you're into pink. But red goes faster!
gosh they are beautiful - my favourite colour is a deep pea green, why? because I love peas, I love green and I love the owl and the pussycat...
email me at overmilkwood at gmail dot com
Your fabric looks fantastic!
My favourite colour (and this changes all thet time) is RED! :) When I look at red it instantly makes me feel better and gives me a sense of happiness. Yay red!
Blue has always been my favorite color, all shades of it. Not sure why though.
I enjoy your blog and love the fabrics.
What an awesome giveaway!
My favorite color is turquoise. It reminds me of the crystal clear water of the Caribean ocean, of the breeze and light scent of salt water, of dipping my toes into the cool refreshing water. The color provides me with really great memories of my family in Puerto Rico.
cobalt blue
It's rich and deep and cool like water. Yet it's not pretentious. I am always drawn to it, but not in clothing. I especially like coblat blue glass. It takes just a spot of it to add real impact. I have light fixtures, ceilings, a butter dish, drinking glasses and even vintage chunky candlesticks of it.
(aplusastudioatzoominternetdotnet)
I just got some of your fabric in the mail and I have to enter anyway!!!!! I LOVE it.
One color....
That is very hard. I guess I would have to say green. It is the first non brown color we see here in the spring. I love that one day in spring where we notice that the grass is GREEN it is usually the same day that the trees lining the streets in town have the first signs of green just tiny little bits that make them look like green lace in the sky.

Maybe I could get it used in a custom babycarrier if I win?
my favorite color is orange. Bright and vibrant and not too light of a shade of orange. My favorite color combination is orange and purple.
I think you know how to contact me!
kisses to Bruno! How much is he weighing these days?
My favorite color in general is purple. Any shade. To wear? Black. Just call me goth girl, with my red hair and green eyes. I craft though, and my favorite color combo is black, red and lime.
I saw your fabric in the Sewing with Linen group on flick & wanted to say it is gorgeous!
My favorite color is blue. It is the one color I always gravitate back to. Although the shade of blue that I like often changes :)
What lovely fabric. I think my favorite color right now is candy apple red. I just love the vibrant, happy nature of it. It brightens any room, including the outdoors!
A different take on my favorite color:
I have never had a favorite color. There have been colors that I have liked but never has there been a distinct favorite. The likes range from the rich, royal purples of glizty Bollywood costumes to fresh, lively greens from New Zealand’s forests to the crisp white of clouds seen from an airplane window. When I was younger, colors were a way of storing memories; each tone and hue had a place and a time attatched to it. I liked to capture the colors I liked in imaginary glass jars. They were storage for later, so I could keep the colors forever.
I love "wasabi green". I love saying it, and the fact that when i say Wasabi, everyone knows what shade I'm talking about. I like how just looking at the color brightens up the day..its so cheerful... Now, it doesn't go with everything, but I'll make it work :)Love "walk through the woods", great fabric!

My favorite color is spring green, aka grass green. It has been since I was about 7 years old and came to accept that everyone else though my sister's blue eyes were beautiful but I prefered the sympolism of grown/spring/newness in my own eyes. Silly but true.
auntiejill@yahoo.com or auntiejill.etsy.com
The fabric is beautiful! My favorite color is red. My dh is color-blind and he compliments me when I wear red. It's always good when he notices something.
Congratulations!!!! The fabric is absolutely awesome!!!!! So cool :)
My favorite color is green...it's such a soothing color and I have painted my bedroom walls a nice, minty-going toward sagey green. I've always loved this color because it's so prevelant in nature.
my favorite color changes constantly! Right now I'm in a lime green phase - actually more like limon... kind of green, kind of yellow....
I love grey, like a nice foggy grey.
I don't know how to sew or own a sewing machine, but my sister does, so I am sure if I win I can persuade her to make me something fabulous.
What jumps into mind is Moroccan Red. The red is an orange-red, but faded. It feels like home to me.
We have two rugs my husband bought in Morocco and both contain this red, a mustard yellow, and black. They hang on our walls, though one is room sized, and they are some of our favorite works of art.
Blue. Greeny-blue to be precise.
I didn't realise it was my favourite colour until after I bought my car, as I have since found myself trying to co-ordinate everything with it.
Other colours are good too, but I definately like greeny-blue best of all.
Lovely beautiful fabrics by the way. Very clever you!
Turquoise.
I didn't even have to think about that one. It's a playful color, but not too bright. It can be deep and even a bit dark, which makes it more serious.
Plus I'm a redhead. Turquoise clothes make my hair look fiery red!
So lovely!
umm..my fave color is PINK! Its always been my fave color since a little girl and I'm such a girly girl that I'm alays drawn to it whether its for clothing or home accessories!
chartreuse.
moss.
green.
im irish.
redheaded.
earthy.
nature-ish.
i heart the earth.
and life!
hmmm...I think Robin's Egg blue would be my pick. For so many reasons - first being, it's the color of a Robin's Egg, second, it's so crisp and clean and it reminds me of the ocean, my walk-in toy closet as a kid and the underneath of my sister's top bunk...I begged my father to paint it that color and then paint clouds...never did get the clouds done.
gosh your fabric is gorgeous ...please pick me -- my favorite color along with the name for it is "aubergine" ... you could call it eggplant but please don't :-). I like the way it has sort of layers of color within ... sometimes purply, brownish, redish, blackish. sort of a camelian of a color ... thereby helping me with the dilemma of choosing just one ...
My favourite colour at this minute is a gentle apricot. It just looks good enough to eat!
And I like to wear it as it suits my colouring!
xbksw
Love your fabric!!! So glad you've decided to sell pieces. My favourite colour would be olive green. I think it has so much emotion when it has that hint of yellow in it, not all wishy washy "minty" or blue-toned. I think one day I shall paint my whole house in shades of olive.
That fabric is absolutely lovely.
Um, favourite colour... It's a deep dark blue - almost purple, almost grey, almost black.
I might choose to be surrounded by completely other colours, but that colour always stops me in my tracks, wherever I see it. It's hard to describe, but I know it when I see it, yet often fail to find it when I'm searching for it.
I love black...why because it makes me look skinny when I wear it..LOL
I LOVE green...from the mintiest to the most emerald and especially lime. Green is for every season. It's fresh and clean. I have bright neon green sandals and I'm not afraid to wear them! Your fabrics are gorgeous!
I love those fabrics! I am a sucker for beautiful fabric and paper. My favorite colour is green. I think that I like green because it feels fresh to me. I love spring, watching the winter white turn to brown and then bright green. I love running to my garden to look for the little green shoots poking through the dirt.
very nice !!
My favorite color right now is red because I am having a baby girl soon and I'm getting sick of pink!! Red is so much more cheery!!
GREEN - in any version but of late its the olive tones more than green greens that get me. On the olive side it can go from the lime into sage tones. Hmm - I think I am liking greens with more YELLOWS.
Thank you for making me think about this!
Congrats on the fabric! It's beautiful! My favorite color is the blue on the old New Jersey license plates. It reminds of favorite songs and beach days.
I'd have to say aqua--light, happy, bright aqua! Aqua makes the whole day easier :)
My favorite colour is lillà (in italian, lilac in english): even its name sounds sweet, with an accent at the end. Beautiful in combination with almost every other colour, I wear it with brown in winter to light up my days.
Gorgeous! And congratulations..best of luck and everything good! My favorite color never immediately pops into my mind, but when I think of things that may take my breathe away..they are always blue. The shades of the sky, the color of the ocean, an elderly patient whose mind is no longer clear..but their eyes are a sparkly and blue as a childs.
Awesome giveaway! Favorite color? oh this is hard for me, I like too many, hands down if all else fails a rich brown does me in. (But I really do love reds too) Oddly enough my wedding was lavendar, I don't really have a strong tie to purple anymore, but apparently I loved it 9 years ago! Blues--who can neglect blue?
So I'm going to go with BlUE. Blue is probably my fave for clothing (etc) Browns for around the house.
That was hard for me.
I can be pretty specific about my favourite colour, because I know its hex code - 8fa659. It's the sort of colour you can use anywhere and feel like you've made the right choice - it looks beautiful in a nice, light linen. As paint it goes in any room, in pixel-form it's beautiful with black or white (and red, if I'm feeling adventurous), in nature it's spring and it's olives. It reminds me of glossed school corridors and old fashioned kitchens.
So, yeah. 8FA659. Underrated.
I generally wear black but I'm currently found of chartreuse...I just like the way it sounds.
my favorite color is a shade of green that is called "enchanted forest" it was the color of my bedroom in my last apartment(i've never been able to find the same shade again). i love it because not only does it create a sense on calm in my mind, but it reminds me of my favorite place in the world. camp bonnie brae, its a girl scout camp in the berkshire mountains of massachusetts. at camp, there is a camping spot across the lake accessible only by canoe, and it is called the enchanted forest. and that shade of green, reminds me of the trees both in the light of the summer sun, and the moon. i loved the color because i could come home from a busy stressful day in boston(where i live) and go to my room and just take in the color to relax, and go to camp in my mind. or at least until the summer when i go there to escape the "real world".
being an art student my favorite class was color theory. and of all the colors i've seen, that green is still my favorite.

your fabric is amazing. if i still lived in my old apartment in jamaica plain i would have made curtains out of it. i still may in my new apartment.
Orange. It can be a fall color like autumn leaves. It can be the color of spring flowers. It can be the color of a summer sunset and the color of a warm wool winter hat. Orange has no season.
very pretty fabrics!! my favorite color is pink. it reminds me so much of simple times of childhood, my little ponies filled my dreams with happy thoughts and strawberry shortcake dolls. and also my husband says i look pretty in pink so that is a good reason...and of course the movie i love pretty in pink also! when given a choice of clothes..i inevitably choose pink!
Orange! Any shade will do. It's just vibrant and bright. Looking at anything orange always brings a smile to my face. I love your fabric. It's GREAT!
Hey, found you from the Etsy front page (congratulations).
Green.
Any shade.
I love it.
It makes me happy.
Your fabrics are lovely!
My favorite color is pale spring green...the color of those first leaves that emerge on the trees in April.
It's my favorite because it makes me happy.
Spring is my favorite season, mostly because of the vibrant colors in foliage and flowers.
Blue, almost all shades and types (perhaps sapphire is my favorite hue out of all the blue) .
It is bold, it is electric. Blue is freedom.
i love the pattern! it's so sweet. my favorite color has to be green. It can be totally energizing and fun (kelly green), and also peaceful and calm (sage green). it is, of course, so connected to nature, botany, and to me, life. it represents growth, inspiration is such a grounding color for me. i really enjoying seeing your work- i'm so glad i found it!

Your fabric is just gorgeous!
Ok - my favorite color is chartreuse. I love the first color of spring, that soft chartreuse halo around trees (especially willows!) just as they are beginning to bud.
And I love combining chartreuse with grey, black, brown, bottle green....
That fabric is stunning!!
My favorite color - has to be blue, almost any shade. I've always been fond of blue, and even though I've gone through "phases" (like the purple phase in high school), I always come back to blue! It's calming and soothing to me - like coming home.
Your designs are beautiful, crisp and clean!
OK, I have fallen for eggplant because it's not quite purple. I haven't owned anything eggplant before this year and now I can't get enough.
my favourite colour is green-- probably why i adore this leafy fabric so much! i prefer the leafy/apple-y shades (which my room is painted in) because they are just so fresh and spring-y. it's amazing how that colour just rejuvenates my spirit =)
Right now, my favorite color is mauve (or lilac). I choose this color since my lilacs are in full bloom and they smell amazing!
My favorite color is blue. Not wild bright crayon blue, but soft blue. Why? Its calming. Maybe it gives me the feeling of laying under a tree looking up at the sky to make cloud shapes with the kids... Soft Blue- Favorite. =)
How exciting... I already have plans for this fabric!
I love green... it's an energizing yet peaceful color and for me it inspires creativity and a sense of freshness. I think that's one reason why I need to be surrounded by plants! I am also very attracted to a specific shade of teal, though I think a new name needs to be assigned to the color.
I absolutely LOVE your fabric. My fav color is aqua...calming, serene, and is so wonderful in many lovely color combos.
my favorite color is white. It's clean, pure, simple, elegant.
And I love your fabric!!
so pretty! i love this.
Beautiful fabric and design! My favorite color is PINK! Why exactly? I don't know, but I have always been drawn to it, and pink in all but the most garrish shades are always my choice. I had to learn when decorating my house to go AWAY from the pink and towards the yellows and green, but at least I always look good when wearing pink.

My favorite color is Teal. It looks fantastic on me, it reflects me, bright and striking, but can be tailored and sophistocated.
And because my husband hates it but says I look great in it, so it's the color of truth.
Congrats!
bee-yootiful fabric!! I guess my favourite coolour would have to be lilac. Kind of 'old lady' but definitely my fave!
My favorite color in green, because every shade of it is beautiful, and it such a versatile color. I love it on my walls, my clothes, my accessories, my cakes, my car, etc.
Thanks, and congratulations, your fabric is absolutely beautiful!

Congratulations, your fabric is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks!
My favorite color is, and has been since I was a little, little girl, purple. All shades. Lavender, deep, blue-purple, everything. I think it is such a calming, beautiful color.
Congratulations on the release. Best wishes, T.
Ah, awesome giveaway! On to the fav color...
I'd have to say brown (though I'm tempted to say orange). I've got a thing for 70's decor which features A LOT of browns and for some reason, when dressing myself I always reach for something. It's the color of the Earth man, and I think that's awesome...
I came here via true up. I love that blog! I love this fabric, too. Its so pretty. I'm very much into trees, birds, leaves right now myself. Both colorways are so pretty.
My personal favorite color? Just a really true red. Red makes me happy and I tend to pick out fabric with red in it. Of course I love so many colors but if I had to pick one single color, definately a mediumish red!
My favorite color bounces between blue and green. I’m not sure why.
Green always reminds me of nature and good stuff, like avocados. And blue because, well, it goes best with my skin tone.
Silly reasons, I know. :-D
Avocado green is my favorite color, I don't know why but I am always drawn to it over every other color.
gun metal blue has always sent a little thrill through me -- especially when I see it in a dark, cloudy sky, with the trees before me lit up by the low sun at my back.
Pale pistachio green - just a touch lighter than the colour of fresh pistachios. Because it seems like a warm and a cold colour at the same time.
Orange, it's such a happy color. Orange poppies are blooming in my yard.
I'm a color binger. I've been binging on yellow lately. I don't know why. It's been making me happy. It makes me feel fresh and alive.
I love your new fabric! Something to be proud of for sure! My fav. color is red. Always has been. It's a strong color that pairs up well with a lot of different colors. It can be toned down or turned up...a definate all time fav. of mine!
Congratulations on your fabric line - it's beautiful!
My favorite color is sunshine yellow - it always cheers me up and it's definitely the one color that I just couldn't live without!
Beautiful fabric!
My favorite color at the moment is Tiffany box blue. I painted my kitchen that color with a chocolate brown trim. I am loving it. So beautiful and calming!
my favorite color is turqoise/aqua blue. i'm not sure why exactly, but i am drawn to it - almost every fabric in my collection has a little aqua in it -or can coordinate with it some how, my fav purse is aqua, and i just bought a watch that is aqua. i love it! it makes me smile.
Oh I love the spring leaves. Such a pretty green.
My favourite colour is purple. Any shade of purple. I love it because it's the colour of a Heffalump. If I could, my whole house would be purple. Instead, I plant lots of purple flowers in my garden.
I definitely lean toward the green. I'm a redhead and I definitely tend toward colors that I would wear, even for decorating (lots of brown in my house!). But I do really like the other one too....
aqua is my fave, b/c folks cn never agree on whether it is a blue or a green :)
I love the color orange because it represents each season. Summer for the hot sun. Fall for the changing colors in the leaves. Winter for a warm fire and finally the Spring for blooming flowers.
I don't even have to think about it: Orange. Ever since I begged for an orange bike at age 7, I've just been drawn to it, especially rusty oranges combined with browns.
My favorite color is RUST because it reminds me of my beloved husband's '55 Chevy sitting in our driveway!
Conratulations on the launch of your new fabric line - love the design! My favourite colour is blue - the colour of the ocean and sky, very serene and refreshing.
my favorite color is royal blue, and it always will be. i might flirt with other colors from time to time, but i'll always come back to blue.
oh so lovely! what a great job you did!
i love moss green the best because i love the pacific northwest and plants. and green...

Congrats on your fabric - gorgeous.
You want me to name one favourite colour...are you for real??? Hmmmmm that is a tough one...as I think about it I realise I have had many favourites over time depending on the stage of life, what I was up to. But I think I have always had an enduring love of pink...sigh...it seems in some ways to be such a typical girly choice...but actually it is a very versitile colour...from pale and dusky to vibrant and psycodelic (sp??) It can be worn by little girls and grown men, it is perfect for both lingerie and hats and shoes. It makes cupcakes look delish and diamonds stunning. Ahhh pink - I see exactly what you mean about once settled on a colour you know it is the one!
my favorite color is spring green -- aka "sprout" or "leaf" or even "pear". It just makes me *FEEL* growth and new things. I've decorated my sewing studio with bits and bobs of green, to remind me to always grow.
Plus, it looks great on redheads ;)

So pretty! I love the leaves combined with the simple lines and red dots. Favourite colour is definitely green. Well maybe red. No green... Yes green, mostly. :) Green I like because it covers such a wide spectrum of shades and moods, happy and sad, natural and fake, and it's good in just about any setting. Plus I look better when I wear green I think - I adore the punch that red gives but you have to love a colour that makes your skin look better. So shallow... I guess this is why I'm immediately drawn to the spring colourway because it has the greens that I love with the red dots to give it the oomph. Perfect combo!
Pale pink, like peonies. It's so soft and calming and I just love it. LOVE IT. I have since I was a little kid, even though I denied it during the teen years.
I love your fabric! I want to make children's gardening aprons with it.
I like your latest, especially in green...because my favorite color is olive. Why? I think it looks flattering on me, my eyes are this color, I like looking at it, it's earthy and yet the color of growth, it's warm and goes with my other favorite color, purple.

My fave colour is green. I think I probably like it because it seems both fresh and serene at the same time to me.
Grass green is my favourite colour because it makes me smile.
Cool Black (not warm) is my favorite 'color'. It goes with all other colors, is slenderizing and is 'artsy'. Congratulations by the way on naming your fabric designs.
I really like your new fabric! My favorite color is PUMPKIN! I love it because autumn is my favorite time of year. I'm from NY and when the weather starts getting cooler and the leaves start turning colors it is so beautiful. I love all of the colors but the rusts and pumpkin colors are my favorite. The leaves may be gone but there are splashes of PUMPKIN! everywhere. The actual pumpkins all around are an inspiration to me, I start doing felt applique pumpkins on everything :-).
Lovely trees!
My favorite color is gray because it is so happy and sad all at the same time.
My favorite color is pine green. It's the color of nature, and reminds me of home.

Nothing as lovely as a shade of green. I've been drawn to this color for many years. Its fresh and inviting.
I love your fabrics. I just posted about them on my blog, actually.
My fave color is red. It's so rich and bold. And red candies are the best. Red crayons, too.
Hi, my favourite colour is red. As in a dark berry red. It is a strong and sweet colour, great for both autumn and winter.
I love a lot of colours, like that sage green on one of your fabrics. But this red one really is the mother.
my email is norwayneedles at yahoo dot no
i just lurve your fabric! looking at it makes me feel happy. i love trees.= )
my favorite color is pink pink pink! the classic shade that you think of first when i say pink. i have always loved it, it makes me feel pretty and happy and cheerful, which is just the way i like to feel.= )
I'm probably too late but green is my favourite colour at the moment. Love your fabric too
Lovely designs! They make me feel like strolling in the park. My favorite color is gray because it seems to go with everything. It's all at once happy and quiet, can be a little sad, but paired with the proper color it can be so much fun. I love it. It's the one color my husband and I can always agree on!
beet! a gorgeous, deep brilliant burst of juicy color... mmm, beet...
(congrats on the pretty fabric!)

Beautiful. Grass Green is my favorite! I love how it feels fresh and springy.
I always love accents of red. So bright and cheerful. -Rachel
My favorite color is and has always been yellow. I love all different shades of it. No matter the shade, it ALWAYS looks happy.
Incredible fabric! My favortie color is green. Every shade of it- sage, kelly, forest, grass, etc. When I think of green I think clean and refreshing.
My favorite color is purple and has been since I was about 12. Blue is too normal and pink is too girly but purple is right in between. It's also my sisters' favorite colors so it would be sad to change it now.
My daughter sent me here to enter the giveaway with my favorite color. Green of course. I always use it as the secret password to access various accounts, weird huh. I looked at my daughter's favorite color, she wrote green also! She and her sister both had green as their wedding colors. It's such a great color and was easy to work with...Thanks - hoping to win, love those trees!
hullo! your fabric is lovely & i'm quite excited about the linen blendiness of it. and as for colors, my favorite is:
f6ee62
(look it up in photoshop) it's a charming sunshine & butter can't-help-but-feel-happy yellow. if a smile had a color, this would be it. cheers!
OK, I'm in!
I like them all, but in a crowd I would probably gravitate to coral. Unfortunately I can't wear it because it makes me look like a sunburnt drunk.
I love the green colorway! Your fabric is beautiful!
Red is my favorite color. Maybe it's because I was a school teacher and I used red pens all the time. Maybe it's because I'm a Red Sox fan. I almost bought a red car, but that was too over the top. I've been looking for fabric to make some red curtains for my living room. Red is good.
Oh, that fabric is fabulous!
I would gladly post a picture of my project shoud I win. (wink wink)
Ok, favorite color...no hesitation, its yellow.
A soft butter yellow.
Why? Because its warm, cheery, mellow, inviting. It makes me feel invigorated and yet, also at peace.
I've had a yellow bedroom for as long as I can remember.
(BTW, green is my second favorite)
Kimberly :)
My favorite color is pumpkin. I love autumn and one of my favorite things to do is pick and carve pumpkins, so the color always makes me smile. Its a happy color.

My favorite color is green however I have never been able to find THE perfect shade. I want a spring green, not too blue, not too yellow. It represents springs's hope and promise and right now I hope I win that fabric!
An ode to my favorite through haiku:
Green
Slowly unfolding
The strongest leaf shining
Once more made new
Geez, I never said it was going to be any good! What in the world am I doing writing bad poetry at midnight?
(I love the your luscious textiles!)

Ooo~ I love your blog! I'm new - came through a link from TrueUp. And I love love love your fabric!! Sooooo pretty!
My favorite color is green. Not forest green, but a kind of springy green (although the shade can sometimes change to fit my mood).
I never stopped to ask myself "why" - that's a good question. I suppose I like it because it's such a peaceful color, and reminds me of so many things that I like (grass, trees, flowers...). Also a bonus is that it matches practically everything.
I adore these fabrics!
My favorite color is blue, because I love to look at both water, and the sky, and thinking of them as mirrors capturing one another.
wow, I'm impressed. those fabrics came out so lovely. my current fave color is a vibrant emerald green -- it is peaceful/soothing and makes me think of growth.
I love your fabrics!
My favorite color right now is red. I have always loved red. Red was my mama's favorite color. She died over 2 years ago and everytime I see red I think of her beautiful smiling face. I have been using a lot of red lately. And if you look at my blog you will see an ATC I did of her picture and used red on it.

Have a Blessed Day,

Your fabric is beautiful!!!
When asked what my favorite color is that pops in my mind has always been for the past 44years is~blue!
Yet I always love all colors. But blue is so happy and cheerful.
Have fun with your fabrics:)
Green. For all of the nature-y reasons mentioned in other comments, I opine...but think the real reason it's the favorite color of most of my 7 siblings is that it was our father's signature color, and we all still want to be like him.
Did love sage, but am now more into moss.
And love your new linens. Congrats on the fabric foray.
and in case my name-link-to-blog isn't enough (last comment): three_goats@yahoo.com
Orange. It's power is undeniable.
aqua blue. it's a good vintage color & just as lovely in a modern setting as well.
I love the pretty skinny leaves, and am crossing my fingers for a big win here!
My favorite color at the moment is teal. I'm resisting mentioning my favorite color to go with it, and I flip-flop between the two, but if I MUST pick only one, today it seems to be teal. The teal of the peeling paint on the kitchen chairs in the house where I grew up, thick and oil-based, layered over itself as we wore it thin with our bodies, then painted it on again...
In my little favorite color duo, teal is the mom color, and the other color goes with my dad. But I won't mention it. Because I must choose only one.

but without all the funny spaces. And with the appropriate symbols substituted for the words.
My favorite color is red. Always has been - I think because it is my mom's favorite color and, well, I'm crazy about my momma. Congrats on your new fabric line!
Congratulations on your beautiful fabrics. My favorite colour is GREEN. I have always loved green - any shade. I love it for its crisp, clean, natural look. Thanks
I'm a big lover of all shades blue. I find it really calming and serene and reminds me of lying on your back outside staring up at the big open sky.
Wow--your fabric is beautiful. Blue is my favorite color-- because I love a bright big blue sky.
Your fabric is incredible. Seriously.
My favorite colors are natural colors - if I walk into a yarn shop, I am drawn to the beige, tans, off-whites, creams. Every single time.
It's the color of the land.
ok, keeping fingers CROSSED. xxxx
Both your fabrics are great, congrats! Each one tells a different story.
Ok you said put the first color to pop into my head...
Orange!
Fire, sunsets, sun, flowers, attitude.
Yes, Orange!
You know I always say purple is my favourite colour because it does speak to me, but when choosing fabric, paint, anything like that it's the blue greens I want. More blue than teal, but with that greenish tint. It reminds me of the colour of the lakes in northern Ontario in the spring.
is it too late to post for the contest, because I adore your design in the preview image. My favorite colors are the blues and greens that I see in nature. I love them so much I painted my entire apt in them. So an entire line titled "Walk Through the Woods" is just my style! (If I'm lucky in the raffle, please email me at e.gin.ee at gmail dot com.)
No matter what, I always end up going back to green. There is something so soothing and pure about kelly green.
I have to admit, my favorite color is blue. It is the color that fills the sky on a clear day and the color that streches across the horizon when we look out to the ocean.
Love the fabric! My (current) favorite color is this awesome variation of an aqua blue called Vintage Map that I found on a Martha Stewart paint card swatch. It's the color I painted my (baby) daughter Adelyn's bedroom. It is definitely one of the most soothing and dreamy colors I can imagine.
warm gray. endlessly complex.
Aqua-I have been in love with this color since my childhood, i had travelled with my mum and came across a french armoire that to me at the time was enormous-the color made a home in my memory untill I was old enough to apply it to the things i love...i found the armoire almost twenty years later and it became my husband and my wedding gift.
my favorite color is purple. =)
i have this beautiful fused glass necklace with different shades of purple in it. i like to stare at the pendant and daydream of being at another place and time...
beautiful fabric! my favorite color is purple that leans toward blue. been a favorite for a long time...probably because it feels deep, magical, vibrant....
Beautiful fabric, thank you for the wonderful giveaway! My favorite color is deep berry. The first thing that popped into my head was because it's a color and yummy food! Upon further thinking, I like it because it's warm and luxurious, it makes me think of lips (if that makes sense)!
