Fabric from Sample Spree
It’s June 1st and I can hardly believe it! I leave for Germany next week for my son’s wedding! In just seven more days I’ll be on my first trip to Europe. I just couldn’t be more excited! When I think of all the things I need to get done before I leave it’s a little overwhelming, but it’s like that before any trip don’t you think? I have lists of things to take care of before I leave, and getting on that airplane will seem so unreal to me! I’ve never been to Europe so I have no idea what to expect!
Bunny Hill will still be open, orders will be processed and you’ll never even know I’m gone. The newsletter will come out on the 5th with the next Snowbound block, and I even have blog posts scheduled so it will seem like I’m still home. I leave on the 7th and will be back in two weeks. Germany, Paris, and the Cotswolds in England are calling me!
Before I forget I went shopping at sample spree! That’s right! Shopping for you! Remember I promised a give away? Someone is going to win these bundles of my first fabric line with Moda, called Lily & Will! Leave a comment and tell me if you want the pink, blue or green bundle and I’ll announce the winners on Friday morning! Then come Saturday it’s Snowbound time!
Just look at how they are bundled! Pinks, ivory and browns, greens, ivory and browns, and blues, ivory and browns. Bundles of fat quarters from heaven by color!
You deserve a bundle if you can stay with me through this video. It was the end of the day and suddenly Moda Gene put the video camera in my booth. On the spot I had to talk about my fabric line. I was SO not expecting that. I wonder if you ever get used to a video camera? Go ahead and laugh a little. Can’t believe I actually did the thing with the satin at the end but you’ll get the picture!

I think your video is wonderful. Congratulations on your new line with Moda. I have to say the green is my favorite because I just love green, I have it in 3 rooms in my house!

Lovely fabric! I enjoyed the video. It’s hard to choose they are all so pretty, but I think the green is the one I would choose.
Lisa
Only 1? I love them all but if I *have* to choose I’d pick the pink since my cousin just had a baby girl and I have yet to start on her quilt, this would be perfect for her! ☺

Congratulations on your sons wedding, your first trip to Europe and your fabric line. I would love to win the greens. Thanks for the chance.

Pink and Brown, my favorite color combo! :)

I’d love the green, a couple of babies on their way and the sex is a surprise! Loved the video, too cute Anne.
Lydia
Please pick me! pick me! I would love the blue line. My brother is expecting his first grandson in August. I saw you fabric at the Fat Quarter Shop coming soon page. I was sad it wouldn’t be available until October. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to win it and get a quilt made in time. Thank so much!

I love all the colors. . . especially paired with the brown. If I have to choose, I’d say pink. . . but I really do love them all!
LadyBaltimore
The colors of the bundles are gorgeous. I’d love any of them but if I had to choose, I guess it would be the pink one.
Safe journey.
Michelle

Well my first grandbaby is going to be a girl so I’ll start begging for the pink. Can I vote for the green too, I really love that green.
Have a wonderful time in Europe. I went once and loved it, loved it, loved it.
Enjoy!

Pat
Robin Young
I love,love,love your new line!!! Especially the green!! I would just love a bundle!!!! …Have a Great European Tour ..and a wonderful wedding !!!!!
Jennifer
Aww cute video! You know what’s funny – if you were asked to talk about that to someone who never knew about your line and there was no camera involved, you could have given that same whole speech about it and you would have felt natural and not awkward I bet! lol. But you did better on camera than I would have – ESPECIALLY on the spot! I love it :) And I love that the baby line is like twin names, because I am pregnant with boy/girl twins, so it just fits perfectly! :)
I like the green the most, since it’s somewhat neutral and can be used for boy or girl.
Have fun in Germany, congrats to your son, and thanks for the opportunity in this awesome giveaway!
Jenny
You did just fine! And the booth looked great! No wonder you won an award. :-) The give away sounds like fun. I’d love to have the pink bundle. Can’t wait to hear about your European adventures (and see the fun loot you bring back!) :-)
Sarah Vee
I love the green! The pink and blue are sweet too. What delicious combinations with brown. Liked your video {at least you weren’t checking your fly in the mirror!oops!!:)} Really excited about all the textures available too. Thanks for the chance.
Stine
I think the video turned out great…congrats on your first fabric line. Have fun in Germany…it’s gorgeous (I’m a little biased since I live there)! I’d love to win the blue!!
Jennie
I’d love the green bundle, I have a four month old little boy who is going to need his nursery decorated when I move next month, and this would be a great addition! Did I mention his middle name is William? Please pick me!
Diane
Oh, pink, of course! Congratulations on your new line and your awesome, awarding-winning booth! Have a wonderful trip — I think I see a European influence in your future designs — can’t wait!
Julia
Hi Anne,
oh, it’s so nice to see you on the video, I really enjoyed the tour around your booth!
I’m really, really looking forward to the pre-quilted fabric!
I’m wishing you a wonderful, wonderful journey to Europe – the most beautiful wedding and a great time in Paris & England!
If you happen to come near Berlin – just tell, and I’ll come to greet you!
Julia
Barb Colvin
I’ve seen lots of pics of your awesome booth on other blogs, and Lily & Will is wonderful. I didn’t realize, however, that there was a green colorway, that there are satins, and that there are other textures, too! I’d love to have the green bundle. Enjoy your trip to Europe.
Omajean
WOW!!!! They are gorgeous!! It’s extremely hard to choose one but I would pick the blue!
Vickie Fitzsimmons
I’m not going to lie to you, the satin is bringing a tear to my eye, so excitedfor it all! I would love the pink bundle. Anne, I love your designs, I have completed the Bunnies prefer chocolate and the Winter Wonderland. So fun. Thanks for sharing you!
Sue J
Love these fabrics – I go for the green. Have a great time in Europe!
Piecefully, Pam
Anne – CONGRATS on your son’s upcoming wedding AND your very first trip to Europe!!! : )
Congrats on Quilt Market too!!! Your fabrics are WONDERFUL!!! I especially like the variety of your new Moda line. ; ) If I had to choose one bundle, it would be the PINK one! Thanks for the give away!
P.S. Your spontaneous video was amazing! GREAT job.
P.P.S. I’m looking forward to the next Snowbound block…!!! : )
Stacy
I love the video and the new fabric. Thanks for sharing.
Sue
Any color is wonderful! I have a slight preference for the blue, but I’d take whichever you want to send! Your video looked very professional Anne! Hope you have a terrific time in Europe. I’m sure it won’t be your last trip there. And congrats on the new marriage!
Jillayne Wickware
The girl I work with and I are big fans – if I win I would share it with her so pink is my choice – it’s her favourite colour of all!
Val Young
I love the Lily & Will line! It’s really hard to pick a favorite color. I think the green would look awesome! Have already ordered patterns and can hardly wait until the fabric is available. You were great on your video for being put on the spot! Hope your trip to Germany and your son’s wedding is a wonderful experience.
Christine
I love the new line. I’d probably pick the green, but I honestly would be happy with any of the color combinations… I just think they are all ADORABLE. (and so are you!)
Jessie
I loved your fat quarter burp cloths, great idea! And your satins look yummy! :-)
I would love to win one of those green bundles!
Marie Claire
Bienvenue en Europe!
Et si je gagne…. ce serais bien d’avoir le rose
Je vous souhaite un bon voyage
Sue
The video was great, and your booth looked wonderful. Enjoy your trip. It sounds wonderful. So exciting. Take lots of photos for us so we can see where you go. And, I would love to have the green bundle. Looking forward to hearing all about your trip.
Amy
Mmmmmm…that green bundle is so beautiful! This is the one I would choose if I happened to win! Thanks for the chance!
annie
WOW…..you do have a lot going on, and in the midst of it all you are thinking of US. That is why we LOVE YOU!!!!
Blessings on you, your son and his wife to be and have the MOST fun in Europe. It has been ten years since our trek there ( you will adore the Cotswolds), and be sure to have a cup of tea for me.
Love the new fabrics and I am thinking green which would match our sweet Clare’s ( first grandchild….and talk about being in LOVE) nursery.
Safe travels and I can’t wait to hear ALL about it. XXX
Pam Eulberg
I love your fabric; my daughter-in-law is expecting and I can’t wait for the ultrasound to show if I should get the blue or pink materials!! Pam
Pauline
Hi Anne.
I love it…….your fabrics and your patterns. Can’t wait to see them in our quilt shops. I love pink so if I’m lucky enough to win I would pick the pink but would be just as excited winning the green or blue bundle. The satin sounds wonderful……both my sons loved the satin on their baby blankets (wore it out) and my oldest grandaughter did too. The video was great….and he just showed up with the camera…..you have a multitude of talents.
Have a wonderful trip…..enjoy every moment.
Thanks for the chance to win.
marcella
You did great on the interview – it sounded very smooth and without rehearsal too! I love all the color ways, but I think I would pick pink if I had to choose just one. Can’t wait to hear about your European adventures when you return.
Nichole
By the way….you did awesome on your interview!!!!! I don’t think you were nervous at all and really showed us the other side of the fabric line with all the waffle fabrics etc. Stellar job Anne! :) Nichole
Jean Burke
They’re just beautiful – I think I like the green. Have a wonderful time in Europe – how exciting!!! Have you googled quilts shops in the places you’ll be visiting? I’m headed to Ireland in three weeks and have a list. Safe travels and thanks for your generosity….piece.
Bonnie Kane
love the greens….no, no, the pinks!! no, no….I love them all!!!!!!
Nichole
Hi Anne! So glad you are home! I would love either the pink or green…we are trying to adopt a little girl, and either would be great! I hope I win! Been trying to think of something special to make for her! Nichole
