Well, time's up for the chance to win the sewing machine for the Old Red Barn Co. giveaway! Thank you so much Dana for holding our hands and helping us make our quilts. It has been a whole lot of fun with good laughs along the way! I thought I would offer yet one more chance at a prize... for the 1786 people that didn't win the sewing machine...
A chance to make another quilt!! I'm giving away 12 half yards, enough to make another quilt top, from Paula Prass' new collection, Summer Soiree. All you have to do is visit my shop, and come back here and leave a comment about what you saw or let me know how you like to search for fabric, by designer or collection, manufacturer or do you just look around and see what you like? I'm always looking for ways to organize my shop to make it easier to find what you are looking for! Giveaway will continue until Saturday, July 11th at noon, good luck everyone! Don't forget to leave your email address or some other way that I can contact you if you win!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 519 of 519I shop for the fun of shopping- I am usually not looking for anything specific. I always check out the sales, and then bundles, because seeing all the fabrics together helps me think of what to make with it! Thanks for the chance to win such yummy fabric - maybe I'll be as lucky as the winner of the sewing machine :)
So many beautiful fabrics and combinations to choose from. You have a great shop.
I think that it's pretty well organized, some shops you can't tell what they have or what they are selling in what sizes! This is my first time to your blog, can't wait to post this and get back to snooping around it a bit more!
Neat shop. I like having fabrics grouped by collection. I think I should get to win since the drawing is on my milestone birthday!!
You have a great selection of fabrics... I love your fabric bundles. I like having the option to search by color. There have been a number of times I see fabric that I decide that I just have to have, but don't know the name of the collection or the designer... I just know it is red with a white cherry tree. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Wow, I love the color combos in your shop. I like to search by size, color or fabric type. I don't usually stick to one designer, so I like to bounce around.
Wow! All I can say, is, so much lovely fabric and so little time! I love the bright colours - they're very joyful.
I love the pictures that you take of the fabrics. THey are so bright and vibrant! Usually I just look to see what's new and go from there. I guess it depends on what mood I'm in :)
What a fabulous giveaway! I always search for fabrics by collection and/or designer...I usually have in mind what i want before i buy :) (rphmel30@yahoo.com)
I usually look for fabric by designer :) I have my faves and Paula is one of them :)
Great Fabrics! When I am looking for a specific fabric I just search for it. However, since I quilt I love to look at bundles, to use or to help me pick out fabric combos I may not have put together!

Let me just start by saying I love those fabrics. I am new to quilting so I do not know designers at the moment. I shop for fabric by which ones jump out at me. I have shopped with specific colors in mind for the last two quilts I made for presents. For me it all about the fabric talking to me and saying buy me I will look great in your home. So it is totally emotional :) my email is snopt2002@yahoo.com
What amazing fabrics you have! I love how you bundle fabrics together...makes my brain spin with quilting ideas! Sorting fabrics by designer is cool, but I'm so visual that being able to search by colors, "seasons", patterns, etc. helps me feel inspired. Thanks for offering such great fabric!
Thank you for hosting such a great giveaway!
I love the Michael Miller Funky Christmas. Thanks so much. I will keep you as a favorite.
First I would like to say that I left a blog under the wrong title so I will rewrite this one.
This was the first time I have visited your shop and I must say that I loved that the first thing I saw was the vibrant colors of fabrics.
As a fabric obsessed person, this definitely grabbed my attention.
I love that you have pictures of the fabrics by their designer line. I like that I can buy as a set from a single designer line or a single piece of fabric from one designer line to go with a set.
I am not a designer of any kind but I love to sew for my little girl but sometimes get frustrated trying to figure out what fabrics to put together. So the sets you offer makes it so easy for me!
THANKS!
I must also say it was very easy to understand and browse thru your shop!
I will definitely be back to browse and buy!
You've made it very easy!
Thanks!!
I love your fabric choices. I would spend a lot of time just oohing and aahing in your fabric studio. I like to search by designer mostly, then I always check a sale section if there is one. I'm adding you to my list of Etsy faves.
Holy pajamas this is a lot of people entering...but I might as well try. I always browse fabric by designer.
What beautiful fabrics! I love the New Michael Miller Funky Christmas. I just found your shop today through the Old Red Barn blog. I am sure I will be a regular visitor
I love your shop! I like to shop both by fabric bundles and also by designer. You match the fabrics so well and if I am looking for colour matches then I know your bundles will work beautifully together, it helps to take the guess work out of colour matching. I also like to look for specific designers as well - yep I like my cake and I like to eat it too - lol!
Love all the fabrics - great collection! Loving your Amy Butler Acanthus and Sandi Henderson Vintage Dots pairing (may have to get this grouping). I prefer to shop fabrics by designer - I find something I like and then try to coordinate, not necessarily with stuff by the same designer or collection, but what my project may be or what my mood is at the time :) thanks for the opp to win!

I like the search button. It really helps me find all the great Amy Butler fabrics. You have a nice selection
Great shop. I like being able to browse by most recently listed. I also like to browse by designer or collection. If you want to get really fancy then browsing by colourway can be handy too. You've got a great range of fabrics and you showcase them well. Keep it up!

I just took a peek at your shop and absolutely love that you have the collections pictured together on your listing display pictures. I like to shop by collection...
Also, knowing whether or not more fabric in a particular fabric/collection is available is very helpful.
I'm off to look at your shop some more:o)

You're fabrics are great! I like to look for fabrics two ways - first by designer, then by fabric bundles.
chrisandabbie at gmail dot com
Your shop is great. It is easy to navigate. The photos are wonderful. You have a superb selection of fabrics. The only thing I like is an option to choose fabrics by color.
I just have to say I took a look at your website and ALL the fabric looks great! It is all beautiful! There is one problem...one cannot do it all...one can imagine, but one has to choose the best of the great....now to choose! If I only had children I could have a GIANT excuse! ! !
Keep up the lovely ideas, website, blog, and the sewing!
Thanks for being willing to share in doing giveaways.
Love looking at your store and your blog! At your store I have been known to search either by designer or color!
I'm in it for the giveaway, totally. But I played by the rules, and I checked out your shop. You have some great stuff in there! If I had any money in my checking account right now, I would have a blast with your sidewalk sale. Bargains! I like you quarter and yard packages too. That's my favorite way to shop. I'd suggest bundles that might make a great quilt, but not all from the same designer. It's inspiring and gets some people out of the box.
I think your shop is very well organized! Some bargains there I'm going back to right now to see if I can talk myself into them. I like shops being organized by designer collections. Thanks1
Well, I was not the fortunate winner of the Janome either! That was one lucky woman.
But you've got a great giveaway here! Your fabrics are beautiful, and you've got a great selection.
I prefer to shop by collection, as I don't really know the exact color of a fabric until I can see it with my own eyes. So it makes picking out fabric easier for me if I can search by collection.
Thanks!
chef@gailsbakeshop.com
These are sooooo pretty. I really wanted to quilt along with Dana...with these I still might be able to! Thanks for the great giveaway :)
How sweet of you to hold a giveaway...love your shop! I love to shop by fabric by designer. You have some awesome patterns as well. Happy to have found you!
Really love your fabrics. I love the way you organize them. I like them organized by designer, because I will usually buy from a full line rather than buying one or two from each. Great job, and I love coldplay's new song, so thanks for putting it on your playlist.
I've browsed your shop before, you have great fabrics! I like to shop by designer and I love the way you have sets of fabric grouped together. It takes the guess work out of color schemes and what will look good together. I always look at the sets before individual fabrics because they are often a better deal and I can get everything I need in one transaction.
Wow, what a great Etsy site!
I really like to see/buy fabrics in sets and collections. Charm packs and Jelly rolls are a favourite way for me to buy fabrics.
What a wonderful giveaway!!
Wow, what a shop. So many fabrics that I just want to run and frolick through LOL. I can't think of anything to change to make it better...I just like it.
(my contact info and my blog is in my google info)
LOVE all the fabrics in your shop. I can get in some serious trouble. ;) I browse by designer since I already know what I'm looking for, but I really like how everything you have is organized.
maria1099@1scom.net
I like to look at big photos of fabric when I am looking for fabric. Sales mean a lot to me too! Great shop.
I love your shop! Its the only one I've actually bought fabric from:) Its well organized. You have the best selection. I like to look at Whats new and then I usually search by designer. When I'm looking on line, its usually because I have seen something(like on Flickr or a blog) and I'm trying to find a specific fabric.
Thanks for being so great!!!
luckydux@sbcglobal.net
I really like the Vicki Payne Home Dec Fabric! Haven't seen it before :)
I love your shop! So many fabrics, but so little money! I love just browsing fabrics, and then getting inspiration from each bundle. I love the Michael Miller Funky Christmas pack. Can I just say: AWESOME!
Thanks! Tacie
ducksgoquack3@hotmail.com
Cute cute shop! I like to look at the newest stuff first and then the sale items. Then I kind of browse by designer.
Ooooh, loving this fabric!
jndrysdale at gmail dot com
Wow, you have an amazing selection! I'm so glad I've found your shop. Definitely bookmarked!
What I would love to see would be options to pull fabrics up by color.
Glad I stumbled onto your blog. I'll be getting some fabric from your etsy store hopefully to make some stuff for my daughter.
Oh, you have the Tina Givens I'm looking for, but the wrong colourway - darn!
Personally, I like to browse by colour or type (polka dots, florals, stripes...). The only time I go by designer is if I'm looking for something specific.
I browse fabrics a different way every time....Sometimes I search the color of fabric that I am looking for, or I just go through Etsy and look at all the fabrics. In bundles is best because I have troubles finding awesome coordinates to the fabrics I end up loving.
I love all the fabrics in your shop, I especially love the joel dewberry right now. I like how you have them listed by designer
i absolutely love your shop, found it through true up today. your grouping of bundles of fabric is great and the prices are very reasonable (taking into account the australian dollar). i just browse through all your products and then go back to what took my eye first, usually its colour.
Lovely Etsy shop! I usually browse by designer, and then follow up with 1/2 yard bundles. I like to see how others visualize picking patterns, and I must say that you do a great job!! Thanks.
Wonderful Fabrics! I love your shop. I like the way that you have fabrics grouped together. Makes shopping faster. I really like groups of fat quarters. After all don't we all want a little bit of everything.
Wow, gorgeous fabrics, thank you. Count me in for that giveaway, you're too sweet.
Yvonne in Georgia
One of my favorite things in your shop is half yard bundles of a collection, or a bundle of mixed designers whose collections coordinate. It's hard when you are shopping online to be sure the fabrics will still look good together when you receive them!
Carrie cjfrigm@gmail.com
Your banner in your shop is adorable! So springtimey and fresh. You have all the best new fabrics, too! That's awesome. Personally, I like looking at fabrics by designer, just like you had it. For me, that's the best way. I LOVE Paula Prass' new collection...Best Friends in Passion is my FAVE!
What a terrific shop! I love to look by designer when I need something specific but I love the randomness of just browsing through the selections...by color or style. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Oh my gosh you have such a great fabric selecton. I just love bright colors, you certainly have quite a selection.
Kim
Lantern bloom...love ther colors...the the different styles. Beautiful!
I am SOOOO cheap...that I might not shop the way others do....
I just look for the best deals!!!
So....I hope I win...cause free is pretty dang cheap!!!
I like how you have half yards of one line of fabric to purchase. I like that because the fabrics always look so nice together and to be able to buy them in a bundle is just really nice.
I often hit the 'sale' section first, and then go through to look at some of my favorite designers. I like looking at sets of fabric as well, both fat quarter and larger sets. I always appreciate it when a shop highlights their new fabrics too. Great shop! Fun giveaway!
What a great collection of fabric. I brwsed through them all. I do like to browse by designer and of course the first stop is SALE category. A great collections of patterns too. Its always inspiring to see some of the fabrics made up into quilts, bag etc. to get ideas. Thanks Mary Jo
i like the anna marie horner big fat quarter set. it's so pretty and i have yet to see or use her fabric. thanks
I love these fabrics! I found what I really want on page two, Zebra brown by Jennifer Paganelli. For me I shop each page, that way I don't miss anything.
I love that you offer bundles...I love buying fabric that way!
Max the owl pillow is adorable! I personally like to search for fabric by just looking at everything to find something that strikes my fancy. I enjoy the looking part of the process. I also really enjoy kits! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love your shop! Have visited before. I like to search for my fabrics by designers. In your shop sections I would love a section for "just arrived" or "new arrivals".
The zebra pattern caught my eye..my daughter said they other day she would like that print somewhere in her room. I love all fabrics but the lantern bloom was a new one I haven't seen before and really liked. The modkid patterns where great designs too.
I am so glad that I found your blog and shop...you have a wonderful fabric collection! I like to shop by designer and/or by fabric combinations. In fact, I'm heading back over to your shop now! I'm going to add it to my favorites.
I really like the selection of fabrics. There is a great combination of fabric choices. I like to look around the shop once at all the colors, selections & themes. Then I like to go back and make my choices from there. That is what works best for me.
Great Fabrics. I like the fabric packs a lot because it is always a challenge for me to find the perfect mix. But having the fabrics already together like that is just a great inspiration.
Love these fabrics... I did Dana's quilt along and would love to use these fabrics to make another one or two.... Thanks so much for offering this awesome fabric...

Love your shop! I have bought fabric from you a couple times. I love the new Patty Young fabrics! So pretty! I usually look for my fabrics by designer.
mvansciver@gmail.com
I love your shop! The bundles are great and I would love to see bundles with MORE fabrics...like 12 1/2 yd. bundles. I KNOW I could buy two but your color sense is MUCH better than mine. I'll be BACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!
I am a fabric junkie and search etsy ALL the time. I wish I found your shop sooner. I like how you have some bundled for project inspiration and some separate. A great shop and prices as well! I will definitely be shopping here.
i love these fabrics! i almost always shop by designer!
I love your store & am actually a past customer! (GraciousCreations) I love everything you have an could sit and browse and have a wish list a mile long from your shop! I would say a favorite now I just saw was the NEPTUNE by Tula Pink, Half Yard Set. All of those colors are so pretty together. I usually browse designers, or the way I need the cut of fabric. I love the way you have everything divided in your shop. It is very helpful! Well, thanks so much for the giveaway and I hope I win! :) stacygibbs122@gmail.com
As a beginner, I like being able to look at bundles, get an idea of how fabrics go together. And I like being able to look at collections too. And then I just like looking at fabric. LOL
I like to look around at all the fabrics and especially when you have a sale. Thanks for including me in your giveaway.

mburn@comporium.net
I like how you have your "just in" fabrics right out there for all to see the minute you enter.
When I'm looking for fabric I usually go by designer first to see whats new, then browse each catagory. In the end I've usually looked at everything on the site.
NO I'm NOT addicted to fabric. You cant prove it! ;)
Dawn
I love the Lantern Bloom fat quarters by Laura Bloom. I didn't understand the listings with names attached to them. When I shop for fabric I always search by collection and designer since I don't look for onr unless I have a good idea what it looks and feels like, usually from having seen it in person and just not buying for some reason.
Beautiful fabrics, I love browsing, so if I want something I look around and see what catches my eye. I often will check the sold section to see if there is any thing I missed.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Love your store and Love your service! I like searching for fabric by designer and then by fabric line. Love how you have so many "sets" available for easy purchase.
Love looking at your shop! When I visit an Etsy shop, I usually start out looking at the various designers' fabrics, then I look at the sets-like the yard and half-yard bundles, because I love seeing the different fabrics together,and then I end up looking at everything cause I don't want to miss anything! Like on yours I saw you have some of the Urban Chiks Sweet line, which I love. Then I just want one of everything, kind of like caffeine overload, but lots of fun! Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm such a newbie that it all fascinates me! I like seeing bundles grouped so I can get a feel for coordinates and then I like to see the individual sets. You have lovely things in the shop :))
I LOVE your fabrics! Especially all the birds and the cute apples and figs, I really like the sets, those fabrics look so nice together! I just took a quick look but I'll definitely be back to shop! :)
I think your shop is great. It's easy to find what I'm looking for and I hope to do some shopping soon!
I love browsing your shop. I always find it so nice that you group fabric collections together, that way I can see up front what matches and what doesn't. It's always harder to tell coordinating colors/patterns online. But your shop makes it easy! Not to mention drool-worthy when browsing...
perspicacious_blonde@yahoo.com
Wow, what beautiful fabric! I got the hang of how the website worked pretty quickly. I like the listings the way they are. I would suggest that before you say, a fat quarter or a 1/2 yard of the following fabrics, to put the number of fabrics, before you list them. First thing I do is count them. Everything else is great and moves along quickly.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Apples by Timeless Treasures is making me drool. I am loving anything with apples right now. It takes me back to my childhood picking apples at home and at the church orchard.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I actually found your blog through your etsy site. The way I like to get inspiration is by looking at bundles people put together. I like seeing if they come up with any interesting color or pattern combination that I wouldn't have previously considered. It's like eye candy and a color workout. Thanks for the chance to win a great little bundle of fabric.
Love the Apples collection.
I just discovered your blog - really neat.
I really like sets or color combinations. I have a hard time putting together fabrics that coordinate, so I normally shop by color or bundles. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love looking through your shop! I usually start out looking for fabric by designer or fabric name, but then get distracted and look at a whole shop. I love seeing fabrics paired together or in bundles since I'm never sure of putting together fabrics on my own.
ok so I LOVE these fabrics and would so love creating something with them!!! please let me be the winner
In general, I like how your shop is set up. My favorite is when fabrics are listed in quilt sets or bundles since it takes the 'matching' work out of it for me.
I like to shop by designer first now that I am aware of them--haha--wasn't say 1 year ago! But before I was up on who did what, I like to shop by novelty, colors, etc.
I noticed you have a layer cake in with regular yardage--I love it best when charms, layers, rolls, etc are in their own grouping.
Seriously have to come shopping after payday! Loving some of the new fabrics!
I am a big fan of your shop @ Etsy. I buy there as often as my bank account allows (which hasn't been very often lately), but I love how you have it set up. I prefer to buy fabrics in bundles as I am not so inclined to match up fabrics well. It's nice to have them already matched up and arranged and ready to go. :o) Keep up the good work!
I like how your shop is set up. I would like to be able to find things by color though. I'm not sure how limited Etsy is regarding that. I like the Baby Baby fat collection you have put together. Very cute.
so many beautiful fabrics....i would like to be able to search through your fabrics by color or large/small print. thanks for the contest
I usually begin looking by designer first and then I parouse the bundles to see how you mix the fabrics that caught my eye. I find shopping for fabric online very difficult and seeing the bundle sets help. I tend to gravitate to the florals! Thanks for the chance to win. I love to visit your blogg and etsy shop!
I Sew Love your Fabrics. I just placed an order. I really love that you offer 1/2 yard bundles and you offer a great selection of fabrics.
Beautiful fabric!!! I just started quilting but I've been sewing for years and years and years!!! Would love to win!!
Gail in Evans, GA
Love your shop, I think I've ordered from you a few times!! I usually check out the "new items" section. then I shop by designer. If a shop isn't broken down by designer or theme, I don't usually bother looking through everything!! Love your shop!! LOVE THESE FABRICS!!! Thanks
Heather
hriley1@windstream.net
oh, i am in love with your shop! my favorite was the Apples by Timeless Treasures, Fat Quarter Set. I usually randomly search for fabric. online shopping is still a little overwhelming for me!
You have a wonderful selection. I think that you have organized your categories pretty well. I like to search by individual designer, generally, or collection. And a sale section always catches my eye! :)
I hadn't thought about color categories, but notice that suggestion in other comments. That can be helpful, too.
Forgot to mention that St. Francis' Prayer is my favorite. Good to be reminded of it when I visited your blog.
I like the full and half yard sets as well as the fat quarters and scraps. Actually, I like it all b/c it's a visual feast and I have an unhealthy obsession with fabric...but don't we all? ;)
OOPS! I published without giving you my e-mail...I'm #508--johnsonkatz@hotmail.com
You have some beautiful fabrics in your shop. I'll definitely bookmark it to browse more later. Sometimes I look by designer and other times I just look for the color or design necessary for what I'm making. I would love to be entered for your drawing. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway... Wow You have a lot of entries already.. It's my birthday month so maybe I'll get lucky and win.
I love the selection of fabrics. I like to see projects done in the fabrics or a picture of the fabric with a ruler so that I can judge the scale of the pattern. I love this selection perfect for a quilt for my girls.
Hi, love your blog and site! I really like your logo.
The only thing I would say is I would love things organized by one specific designer. I'm fine with a ton of choices and usually like to see the fabrics in one grouping together as opposed to a bunch of different ones.
LOVE that new P.P. fabric!!
you have a fantastic shop, have to order at your place one day and I think that will be very soon, ;o))
I would love to be able to search by designer
Hi!
Well, I think I like to search best by designer, then collection. Love the new stuff, too! Looking forward to it being listed!
Thank for everything. You're the best!
Most of the time I search by color.
I love the colors in your shop, but because I can not search by color I like to start with the scraps an FQ If I see something I like (and tere is lots of fabric I like in your shop) than I will have another look at the designer and choose wich I like best or bay an entire bunndle.
But at the moment my husband has lost his job this week, so no fabric buying for me this month.
I usually search by the name of the fabric line. You sure have some yummy fabrics listed! ;)
So let's see....I found you when I was searching for a specific fabric last fall, and I so generally I find things by searching a specific designer, but I also love your taste and you have introduced me to many new fabric designers as well! I have been waiting for summer soiree for awhile now...it's just so beautiful! I think I was something like your 88th sale when you started..and now look where you are! Very inspiring! xoxo Shannon
i love the way your shop is set up, plus the fabric bundles you put together are awesome.
I hope I'm not too late. I'm new to the quilting world, and loving it. Your shop is so fun. I am making a quilt top right now with all different fabrics as pinwheels, and would love this giveaway to start a new one. (I have 4 daughters and would love to make each one a quilt for Christmas!
ack, am i too late!? hope not :)
