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.

Excellent point. I'm a Ready, Set, Snow girl and the LQS I frequent reflects that. The other LQS in town generally carries more "traditional" fabric, so even though the owner there is also wonderful I almost never make the trip.

My favourites also! Really love Ready,Set,Snow!! :thumbup:

dirty1mom 01-10-2011 01:46 PM

The first one is my least favorite. I would/will buy the others with no problem.

beaniekins 01-10-2011 01:47 PM

I like Ready, Set, Snow; Flurry; and Winter Wonderland the best. Some of the fabrics in those lines would also work for non-Christmas projects, which definitely appeals to me.

JulieR 01-10-2011 01:52 PM

Actually I bet if we all posted pics of our wrapping paper stashes she could figure it out from there.

Laura3 01-10-2011 01:59 PM

I love the Ready Set Snow and Flurry....

Ready, Set, Snow
Flurry

azwendyg 01-10-2011 02:46 PM

I would buy the Believe Batiks and possibly the Natures Gift line. I don't really care for the look of the other collections so much.

Dustyroads 01-10-2011 02:57 PM

I love the last three, too. Wish I had some of those to sew with now because I'm still working on Christmas!

eparys 01-10-2011 03:06 PM

My choices are :

Ready, Set, Snow
Elegance
Believe Batiks Nature's Gift

Here are links to some of the new collections. Would anyone be so kind as to take a look and let me know which collections you think will be the winners? Or which have the most appeal?

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 love the last three of your list. i would buy those in a heartbeat. My mind is already racing with gift ideas.

Ready, set, snow. Natures gift, and Elegamce

TexasGurl 01-10-2011 03:30 PM

Flurry, Believe & Ready Set Snow
I really like the fresh look of Flurry, & Believe is simply beautiful
Great quilt patterns too
Ready Set Snow is a winner - Me & My Sister always does well
Nature's Gift & Winter Wonderland are nice, but more routine
Elegance just looks too much like Winter Holiday and other lines out this past year

martyquilter 01-10-2011 03:38 PM

I love 3,4 & 5th ones!! but they are all nice

liminanc 01-10-2011 03:41 PM

My favorite was the ready, set, snow.

Farm Quilter 01-10-2011 03:48 PM

Ready, Set, Snow designed by Me & My Sister - 29 skus
http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_Ready_Set_Snow.pdf

Has lots of supporting fabrics that could easily be used with other fabric.

Flurry by Kate Spain - 29 skus
http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_Flurry.pdf

Not so much...nothing fresh and new

Elegance by Sentimental Studio - 20 skus
http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_Elegance.pdf

I like all the "swirly" supporting fabrics, the rest is old news.

Believe Batiks by Laundry Basket - 23 skus
http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_Believe_Batiks.pdf

REALLY like this one - not strictly Christmas, I would love to buy it!

Nature's Gift by Deb Strain - 34 skus
http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_Natures_Gift.pdf

Nothing new here either.

Winter Wonderland by Ingrid Slyder - 32 skus
http://www.unitednotions.com/fcc_Winter_Wonderland.pdf

Very cute...love this line too!

Hope that helps ya!

wesing 01-10-2011 03:50 PM

I love Ready, Set, Snow; Flurry; and Elegance. I also love the medallions in Nature's Gift. I don't like Believe Batiks at all, and I think I could only use Winter Wonderland for a kid's Christmas quilt. I don't think I'll be making very many of those, but who knows?

Let us know what you order.

kathome 01-10-2011 03:55 PM

Believe Batiks and Nature's Miracle.

Saphire 01-10-2011 04:00 PM

The first one for me. I want to buy it right now!

klgreene 01-10-2011 04:05 PM

Elegance, Natures Girfts and Believe Batiks are my top three.

quilter68 01-10-2011 04:05 PM

Kate Spain and the last two.

nance-ell 01-10-2011 04:11 PM

Elegance is my favorite and I also love Believe. The rest are nice also though. Don't think you can really go wrong.

bjchad 01-10-2011 04:14 PM

My favorites are Ready, Set, Snow and Elegance.

IrishNY 01-10-2011 04:19 PM

1. Ready Set Snow -LOVE IT! Would definitely buy it.
2. Flurry - Like it, could see myself buying it
3. Elegance - Like it, could see myself buying it
4. Believe Batiks - Wouldn't buy for Christmas, but love batiks and might buy a few of the patterns for other times of the year
5. Nature's Gift - Don't like it and wouldn't buy
6. Winter Wonderland - Really like most of the patterns in the collection and would probably buy, except the prints with animals (not my style)

Hope this helps!

raggedyann 01-10-2011 04:20 PM

raggedyann 01-10-2011 04:21 PM

BMP 01-10-2011 04:35 PM

I want the pattern of the Carpenters Star/Wheel that is in the Batiks section I love that idea made with log cabin

KarenR 01-10-2011 04:37 PM

Elegant, Believe Batiks, and Nature Gift
are my favorite. How do I decide????
Believe Batiks, Nature Gift and Elegant in this order.

kittenquilts 01-10-2011 04:47 PM

My favorite is Elegance, but they are all beautiful!

CorgiNole 01-10-2011 04:48 PM

I would buy Natures Gift and Ready, Set, Snow.

Cheers, K

CarrieAnne 01-10-2011 04:51 PM

The last three are my favoites!

pab58 01-10-2011 05:10 PM

Elegance, Nature's Gift, and Winter Wonderland are my favs! The holly in the Elegance collection are absolutely lifelike! I liked the panels in the Nature's Gift collection, and of course, anything with cardinals always catches my eye!! The Winter Wonderland collection has several really sweet prints. I always love anything with winter animals and village scenes, but the coordinates are really cute, too. :wink: Decisions, decisions, decisions!!! :?

MrsMoe4487 01-10-2011 05:29 PM

Alright I've looked them over and this is the order I would buy them...* Flurry *Believe Batiks * Elegance * Ready, Set, Snow * Winter Wonderland * Natures Gift

gale 01-10-2011 05:37 PM

I would (and probably will) buy Ready Set Snow. I might get some Flurry. The rest, I wouldn't buy. Not my style.

Love my stash 01-10-2011 06:16 PM

It has to be Nature's Gift by Deb Strain, hands down. However, Elegance runs a very close second. I'm truly disappointed in what the rest had to offer, guess I expected more.
