I love paisley. Have a few in my stash!
|
I guess you could say I inherited my love of paisleys from my Mom. I still can't pass up any paisley fabrics whether its clothing or table cloths or yardage All thru my school years most of my wardrobe was paisley.. I had to make my own cloths or re-make the smallest sizes of store boughts so they fit
|
I love paisleys. In fact, right now I am working on a french braid that uses a pink/brown paisley.
Of course, there is another reason I love paisley, more than fabric. My great niece's name is Paisley ... sweet in every way! |
I love paisley - in fact, am drawn to it - and probably have used it in nearly every quilt I have ever made. Love, love, love it!
|
I Love, Love,. Love them. always have, have a lot in my stash.
|
I'm a child of the sixties...love paisleys. But I didn't know until recently that how long they've been around. I bought some Civil War reproduction fabrics by Barbara Brackman and there was a great paisley.
|
Love it, always have since the 60's. I love the paisleys out currently in some fabric lines. To me it looks playful.
|
I love to use paisleys for my backing. I can pick up colors from the front and use variegated threads or a thread that will enhance the front and blend in with the paisleys.

how do you feel about paisley? love it/hate it or WHAT does it remind you of? |
LOVE Paisleys, I get lots of requests for bags done in paisley.
|
Reminds me of "The Persian Pickle Club" book by Sandra Dallas. Good novel about people who quilt.
|
I LOVE love love, paisley!!!! :thumbup:
|
I do not care for it at all but then I never did
|
I buy nearly every paisley fabric that I see. I just love them!
|
one of my favorite fabrics! I've missed them and thrilled to see them back. I definitely buy them!
|
I love them all! And fortunately so does my non-sewing DD - Just maybe a nice collection of those will be enough to get her interested????
|
I love them, I grew up in a ranching community so they alwasy remind me of my child hood, and home.
|
Love paisley! :thumbup: Joann Fabric has several colors.
A paisley quilt is on my wish/to do list. |
Paisley is my all time favorite. I am still quilting with a paisley I bought 6 years ago. I bought a bolt because I loved it so and I use it very sparling.
|
theres no in between for me, paisley must be
dark, really dark w/ lots of contrast, maybe a tiny bit of metallic or pastel and well made. there is a difference by manufacturer, in my opinion. some make dense, outstanding patterns, others take short cuts with too many "holes". |

Hate it; Hate it! I think this stems from when I had a roommate who sewed her own clothes; a new suit and blouse nearly every week. The only problem was that she used the same pattern each time and each blouse was paisley (in the days when blouses all had the big tie bows at the neck. Yuck!
|
Love love love paisley.
|
Some I really like others not so much :D:D:D
|
I don't remember how I felt about them in the 60's and 70's, but I love them now. Would love to see some more pictures of quilts featuring paisley fabrics. I'll keep watching this topic.

I like the very detailed paisley's that I see...the retro '60's not at all.
|
I love paisley. I think it is the intricate designs that appeal to me. I have a dark blue blouse, long-sleeve, polyester. It is the most comfortable blouse I own. Can't be the design, must be the fabric.
|
Really like them! One of my many to-do's.
|
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! :thumbup:
|
like them.
they integrate well into traditional, Asian and contemporary designs. great for repeats: stack and whack, kaleidoscope, etc. but then, I love pattern and one of my favorite games is incorporating lots of line and color - paisleys fit the bill- |

I love it. I used a lot in this scrappy quilt(Stars Across America) in small pieces,,,and the mug was a gift from my ,then 3,year old granddaughter.She was out shopping with her mama and said "oh look ,a Paisley cup,lets get it for Nana!!" Her mama had no clue,but Natalie knew Nana likes it.She is 4 now and I catch her fondling my fat quarters,so I know shes hooked! LOL!

Paisley is timeless, like plaids, The colors may change but love that they never go out of style.
|
Love it! It's like a "natural" shape!
|
I love it...BUT like any other fabric..some is pretty some not...depends on colors etc.
|
I LOVE PAISLEY
|
Looks like I'm in the minority, but I can't stand paisley. Not sure why, just don't like it.
|
Love it - my first article to sew in Home Ec was a paisley housecoat. Whenever I see paisley, I'm momentarily back in the 9th grade.
|
I don't like paisley much. It reminds me of the 60's. YUCK!
