(thank goodness, we have stashes and have been hording for quite awhile)

And thank goodness for Hoffman fabrics. You can always count on them for traditional deep reds and greens.

I don't like numbers two, three or the last one. They make me dizzy. The others are okay, I guess it would depend on what you'd want to make. The would make neat gift bags.

Those are all great fabrics , except the brown one, but that might have a use in small doses. I think it would be fun to find a pattern to use those neat fabrics with.

I think I have wrapping paper like one of those. I do like the more traditional reds and greens of both collections, and the mittens...definitely not the citron color!

uber-ditto!

I guess if I had to pick one it would be the white tree's with the green background, They don't look Christmasy to me.

Well, count me in on the "old" side -- while the fabrics were nice, none of them were really "traditional" enough for me :D

I love the red and white Christmas tree one and the red and white snowflake ones. Not that fond of the others but sometimes I wouldn't pick a fabric then I see it "done Up" and just love it.
