What is your 'All Time Favorite Fabrics'?
Mine are Chicopee and Boho by Westminster Fabrics. I was introduced to Boho by doing Craftsy's BOM 2012. I used the same fabric Amy Gibson, the teacher, was using, and love the quilt I made. I bought a second FQ bundle and some extra yardage to make another quilt just because i love the fabric so much.
I saw the Chicopee in a quilt and had to have it. I bought a FQ bundle and lots of yardage of different fabrics. Then I bought a jelly roll of it and two charm packs. I don't know what I'll make with it because I don't want to cut into it as I love it too much right now. What are your fabric fabric lines? |
Hi Jeanne! My favorite fabrics (right now anyway:p) are the Ruby collection by Moda and the Grunge line by Moda. I have a pretty good size collection of the Ruby fabrics and just used 4 of the charm packs for the Periwinkle quilt I am working on. I'm just starting to collect the Grunge fabrics; I used one as a quilt backing at Christmas time and that is when I decided I need to get some more!

I love any 20's and 30's reproductions. The Aunt Grace line is wonderful.
|
That is hard to answer for someone who never met a fabric line that did not have something I did not like. I buy more Robert Kaufman, Hoffman and Timeless Treasure than anything else.
|
My favorite fabrics are also 1930's reproductions. Darlene Zimmerman is my favorite 1930's line designer.

Right now I fell in love with Peggy Toole's lines for Robert Kaufman. I just bought a bunch of her florentine collection for a quilt I will be making shortly. Absolutely gorgeous.
|
Kona solids, cotton broadcloth solids for those thin summer quilts, and any black and white and wild color print to go with my solids. They are always available and never go out of style.
|
I love batiks. No particular line.... just lots of color!

I love Kansas Troubles by Moda, and just about anything Sandy Gervais designs.
|
O'Toole's, Hoffman, and Timeless Treasures have been favorites. Also just made a quilt top with Marianne Elizabeth's fabrics Arabella Burgundy. Very, very nice. All are very hefty and yet smooth and luxurious feeling.
|
My favorite 2012 fall fabrics were from Bentarex "Bittersweet" My favorite Christmas fabric this past season was the Peanuts by Quilting Treasures. I'm working on some red, white and blue blocks, but haven't found any fabrics that call to me.
All time favorites- Dr. Sesus and Grinch by Moda |
I love all Moda fabrics.
|
My absolute FAVORITE is Micheal Miller Fairy Frost (hard to find now),
Laurel Burch, Lorelei Designs (mainly the sewing themed fabrics). I love bright colors so sometimes I don't care who the designer is if it is bright and colorful I will like it most of the time. |

Any fabric I can afford to get!!!
|
I have only found 1 local LQS that has Fair Frost and they on have
the black with silver, and a grey color.

Really? My LQS has a huge section of every imaginable color of Fairy Frost!

I love the RJR fabrics designed by Paula Nadelstern. In fact even though I am on a fabric diet I purchased some of her new line. I also saw at the Dallas Quilt Show some samples of the EE Schenk Cara Ombre collection and they are delicious (I think they may be called Gellato). A shop called Overbrook Quilt Connection had a wonderful quilt using them with a black background - apparently they will be the Fabric of choice in their upcoming shop hop first part of April. She said they will be getting more after the shop hop so I will probably be calling them to get some.

Batiks and blenders are my perennial favorites. After that its anything that catches my eye as I go by!
|
The Hancock of Paducah catalog. lol
|

LOL Wish I could find a LQS that have Fair Frost like that.

If it's fabric, it's my favorite! lol. Not a huge fan of 30's fabrics, or Civil War prints. Other than that, I love them all.
|
I have several favorites, but number 1 is Whimsicals by Terry Degenkolb for Red Rooster Fabrics. I also like Civil War Reproduction Fabric and any batik. I didn't know how much I wanted the Buttons and Bows line until it was almost gone. I did find some and bought a bunch of it.

It is difficult for me to say as I just LOVE FABRIC.
|
I love all of the Oriental motif fabrics
|
It varies by the day. Basically, I like fabrics, especially the high end ones.
|
I also like Peggy Toole fabrics and have made one king size quilt with them and have enough pieces to make a throw. However, my favorite fabric is the Fusions line by Robert Kaufman. I have a large container full of lots of different colors. This design appears in lots of my quilts in one way or another. I also like marbled designs to be used as "blenders".
|
Too many out there for a favorite, Michael miller is a favorite. Love fairy frosts, batik, and reproductions of 30's...to name a few
|
There are so many! Love the 30's with such adorable prints. The Hoffman line of 1895 batiks is superb. Must include some kona because they have perfect solid colors. Maywood flannels are great too. Oh, so many to enjoy. I really like looking at all of the new stuff coming out too. So many of my favorites are out of print now.
|
Aria -- I'm with you.....nothing beats the variety of prints and colors of batiks....gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!
|
Right now mine is "Calliope" from Riley Blake's line!
|
Just about anything Moda puts out...I love love love Moda fabric, love the feel of it, love the way it irons so nicely...just love it!!
|
Anything batik...I just can't get enough of them.
|
I don't know that I have a favorite fabric line, as long as it has purple, teal and paisley fabrics. Well, that's not entirely true, but lately I have been leaning towards Moda, Bernatex, Timeless Treasures and In the Beginning, to name a few. I mainly go by what I see and what I like for a certain project. And of course any Batik or hand dyed fabric is at the top of my list.
|
Anything batik and I'm like a dog with a treat, I love them all! lol
|
30's repros are my favorites. I also like the Jinny Beyer fabrics that read like solids and have rich colors. Really good for applique.
|
My favorite is Hoffman Batiks, but I will purchase any Batik I like no matter who the designer is.
