OK, so where have these guys been? I’ve been out to the construction site of our new house and I know I would have remembered them. Alexander Henry must have found them somewhere. Are they in your neighborhood?
I was at our local quilt store this morning when this fabric arrived. I think it’s so funny! Perhaps if I wasn’t into fabric design it wouldn’t be so amusing! My next fabric line has a few birds in it and to think I was worried about cutting up the fabric and just having part of a bird!
Here’s what I’m going to do. If you leave a comment on this post you are automatically entered to win the 1 yard piece of this fabric. Free! I’ll ship it to you and you can use it for what ever you like. Suggestions have been an apron, book cover, pillow case…no limit for this fabric. I’ll have one of my friends who doesn’t know all of you randomly pick a winner and then I’ll post your name in the comment section. You have to email me your address if you win because blogger won’t let me respond to your comments. Check back in a few days…you could be the lucky owner of this man fabric (gives a new meaning to the word man fabric doesn’t it?) (<:
Yea, your right Anne. I never saw any guys who looked like while building our home! I sent my sister pillow cases with the other cowboys with their trucks, and said Sweet Dreams! She got a kick out of it! Thanks for sharing. I’d be more into the birds!
Love reading your blog!

You’re right, this is great fabric, couldn’t think of what I’d use it for then it hit me. I’ve designed a Memory Book (Album) using chip board and fabric. Well can you see the possibilities? What a way to display the pictures of your new home (while under construction)if not in a memory book with this fabric as the cover of the book.
Love reading your blogs and look forward to seeing and hearing about all the new designs you are coming up with. JUST LOVE THEM!

Kinda looks like my pubescent grandson and his gangly guy friends. You know the 6 footers that weigh 125 lbs but working out like mad…LOL :D
He could use pillowcases for his bed, to remind him to work hard::))
I want to feel them~ touch them~ Ok…I’ll act my age! WOW…I would be happy to have that fabric, very HAPPY! What a fun idea you have~ Tina
LOL what a fun print!,What I like most of fabric design is the possibilities you have!!!
I have seen very amusing fabrics and the best of all is that there’s always a right print for every type of personality out there ^_^
Enjoy your day!:)
Shame on you. Now I am going to have to read this daily to see what you are up to…….Your husband!
These boys/men are not in my neighbourhood either :( Wish they where:)
If i won this fabric I think I would make a bag of it. Think that would make my friends smile if I came with such a bag.

As I was reading your blog and listening to the radio — this song came on :”Shake it up baby now. You look so good….C’mon and work it on out…” How appropriate !! and I agree that , NO ! you wouldn’t want to cut this fabric up either for fear of just having part of a ……OK, we won’t go there ! Let’s keep these babes WHOLE !!!! (and where the heck were they when we were building our house a couple of years ago? We only had the guys with beer guts and their pants worn at half mast!

OOo – look at those washboard abs! I would love to win some “man” fabric!
ok!!!!!! This is far to fun……Must have some and make napkins for my next “Ladies Lunch”. Probably should make something for my daughters, just to let them know their Mother is still pretty hip!!

Wow, what fun fabric. Would be perfect as the “behind” pillowcase in my guestroom. Just think, move off the decorative ones and there they guys are!
How much FUN is this (and that fabric)! Would LOVE to have that fabric to make some special pillowcases for my 27 year old daughter to take along on her business trips abroad. Can you just see the looks on the hotel staff’s faces when they came in to make up her room!!!
BTW I just LOVE your new fabric, and all of your patterns and have made several, including but not limited to, Patchwork Pines, Rabbit’s Prefer Chocolate, and in addition to being in the middle of Pumpkin Hill, I am making 2 baby quilts from your new line.

Wow, Anne–I just did a total double take when stopping by.
And I can guarantee no one who looked like that had any part in the building of my house.
I think it would be hilarious if they printed on what most building guys look like…..where could you use a beer belly….mmmmm vicki
A friend of mine used the retro sexy ladies fabric that came out a while ago for some curtains in one of the darling cabins they rent out on their property on Lake Pend Oreille. One of their visitors left a note in the Guest Book saying, “disturbing curtains”! How funny. I can’t wait to tell her about this new fabric.

Really nice fabric.I haven´t seen guys like that for a while…It´s winter and really cold here in Finland =)I could use that to sew something for my sewing room ;)
Oh my! A good friend’s daughter is going to college to become an architect. Maybe she needs a quilt! LOL!
