Please help me make some wise choices! Our Moda rep is coming by tomorrow morning with all the holiday lines.

By the way... you certainly can print off the pages and take them in to your LQS and ask them if they've ordered the ones you're interested in! I'm sure they wouldn't mind receiving advice either.

Thank you all!

I know this is probably too late to help, but I really like winter wonderland, ready, set, snow, and believe batiks.

I really like Elegance by Sentimatl Studio. They are very traditional Christmas colors, but wonderful more comtemporary designs.

Blue is my favorite color and I am finishing a table runner now with dark blue Moda Marbles, a silver batik and a dark blue with silver snowflakes in it. Having said all that, I LOVE the Believe Batiks line!

I like Winter Wonderland, especially the piece that looks like a village that goes on and on. That would make a perfect backing fabric.

And I love the birds and designs in Nature's Gift.

That's my two cents!

sharon b 01-10-2011 11:29 AM

Like the first one a LOT - the fabrics can be used more then just Christmas - the last one is very nice for Christmas - the second one is nice also- I know I should have written notes as I was looking at them :roll: Well you have my top three does that help ? :lol:

Murphy 01-10-2011 11:29 AM

Winterwonderland, Elegance, and Flurry are my choices.

MinnieKat 01-10-2011 11:31 AM

I liked Ready, Set, Snow and Believe Batiks the best.

I go To The Sea To Breathe 01-10-2011 11:33 AM

My favorites are the last 3 groups listed. My best fave is the blue batiks. I love all of them....At first I liked the first group of Christmas then as I got down the list I changed my mind. But those batiks are beautiful....love them...

pocoellie 01-10-2011 11:33 AM

buckyfan19 01-10-2011 11:36 AM

Flurry and Elegance were my fav's. I also love the bird panels!

thepolyparrot 01-10-2011 11:37 AM

How wonderful!!!! :)

I would buy every SKU in Elegance, (that's my second all-time favorite Christmas line - second only to "Nativity" ) and I would buy most or all of the ones in Nature's Gift.

In order of preference:
Elegance
Nature's Gift
Flurry
Ready, Set, Snow
Winter Wonderland
Believe Batiks

SuzyQ 01-10-2011 11:42 AM

Deb watkins 01-10-2011 11:42 AM

Elegance and Nature's Gift are the most appealing to me.

BABAREEBA 01-10-2011 11:43 AM

Elegance, Believe Batiks and Winter Wonderland

JulieR 01-10-2011 11:46 AM

Ready Set Snow is my favorite, and I would buy a few from Flurry and Winter Wonderland.

Ready Set Snow - I'll have to remember that!

erstan947 01-10-2011 11:48 AM

Dear Santa I want them ALL!:)

quiltbugs 01-10-2011 11:51 AM

The first 2 don't appeal to me at all.
The other four are great & I would buy them....especially the Natures Gift and Elegance.

CraftyGardenMom 01-10-2011 11:52 AM

Wow, love all of them but I really think Ready Set Snow, Elegance and Believe will appeal to a broad range of quilters. Ready Set to those who like a modern look, Elegance to those who like more traditional look, and Believe because it can be used almost year-round and many many quilters love batiks.

Good luck and thanks for sharing the upcoming goodies!!!

scowlkat 01-10-2011 11:53 AM

Would buy any EXCEPT these two:

Flurry by Kate Spain - 29 skus

dakotamaid 01-10-2011 11:56 AM

Jennifer22206 01-10-2011 11:56 AM

Believe (and I don't like batiks particularly)
Natures Gift
Ready Set Snow
Flurry

And I didn't like Winter Wonderland or Elegance at all.

BMP 01-10-2011 12:02 PM

*Eliegance *is a definate very classy and tradional.
Batiks mostly the snowflake patterns
Flurry a few of the designs
The rest are too cutesy for me.

kclausing 01-10-2011 12:51 PM

Seems ot be a lot of differing opinions ont his board, which is good. BUt probably not helping your decision.

I think the trick is to identiy what YOUR customers would like. Think of what colors schemes they tend to buy, are they more traditional or compemporary?

Do you sell a lot of batiks? If so, your customers would likely love the xmas batiks.

Do you sell a lot of floral traditional fabrics, if so then natures gift and elegance would go over well.

Do you sell a lot of contemporary fabrics? If so then ready set snow would go over well.

cherylynne 01-10-2011 12:59 PM

Winter wonderland is my favorite for Christmas. I didn't care for Ready, Set , Snow. I also like Elegance and the one with the birds was pretty. I liked the darker batiks, too.

quilter on the eastern edge 01-10-2011 12:59 PM

Here are my choices in order of preference:

Elegance
Nature's Gift
Flurry
Ready, Set, Snow
Winter Wonderland
Believe Batiks

I would like the batiks if they were in different colours - I'm not a "blue" Christmas person. I really like the Elegance - very traditionally Christmas.
