Just appeared on Quilting Treasures' website: these are the pictures of the next GWTW collection.

There are a bunch of coordinates, but only two "feature" prints.

And two stripes. And thus you have it, the whole group.

love that panel!! i'd make a lap quilt with it.

Diamonds 01-20-2010 07:53 PM

Is this all you post? Is it a paid job or what?

CajunQuilter2 01-20-2010 08:17 PM

Do you know how big the panel with just Gone With the Wind is?

tuesy 01-20-2010 08:20 PM

The last group of fabric reminds me of the drapes and the Gone With the Wind skit with Carol Burnett where she took the drapes with the rod attached and made a dress with it. :lol: :lol I think of that and still laugh!

I like all but the fabric with the bows :D:D:D

Favorite Fabrics 01-21-2010 06:26 AM

CajunQuilter, I would have thought that the panel would be 36" x 44", but I just called QT and they said that this will actually be an all-over print, with the design repeating across the fabric, and the pattern repeat is 10.25" W x 8" H. So they told me that those are the dimensions for the block you see.

Diamond, I do create posts - or answer posts - that are not about fabric pictures. And no, I don't get paid for posting these "previews" but I would be willing to work for chocolate! :lol:

Tuesy, I'm still waiting for them to do a design with Scarlett in the emerald green dress made from Miz Ellen's curtains. Maybe that will be in part 3. My guess is that as long as the collections keep selling, they will keep going with the designs.

Thanks for your comment, Lee, I appreciate it. It's always been my hope that the previews are helpful, and are win-win-win for everyone:

- it's like window-shopping in that it doesn't cost anything to look, and even planning for a project that never becomes real, still can be fun
- for real projects, you can see what's coming next, so you know what to wait for and/or ask your LQS for
- the LQS wins, too, because if the customers ask about a line, then the LQS gets a better idea of what they *should* be carrying. Every shop owner I've spoken to has said that it's hard to select fabrics to carry, because their own taste tends to drive the choices... when, to be the most successful, the choice has to be about what the customers like.

I really appreciate that you take the time to do this for us. It sure beats paging through a quilt site to find something :thumbup:

I agree, don't really like this line of fabric, but always look forward to what you post.

That panel is great. The rest I could take or leave.

BKinCO 01-21-2010 08:16 PM

DITTO!!! When the book Scarlett came out I couldn't wait until I got off from work to go and get it. I also have both movies!

Elisabrat 01-22-2010 02:59 AM

I totally enjoy your postings of fabric. I get a good idea of what is out or coming out and what the new trends are so you get a high five and a big online hug from this end. I always think of the curtain dress she wore in Gone with the Wind. Its been 20 yrs since I last saw that movie, thanks for the memories!

beckyw 01-22-2010 03:09 AM

Very different.

CajunQuilter2 01-22-2010 05:46 AM

Can I pre-order thru you? The GWTW one would be a great bAcking for the one I am doing for my friend. If I can pre-order with you please let me know so that I can do so.

charvan 01-22-2010 06:05 AM

I thoroughly enjoy your posting the new fabric lines--stimulates what little imagination I have left!

I would use the panel for a wall hanging in my sewing room.

Favorite Fabrics 01-22-2010 09:48 AM

I'm glad that so many people are enjoying the previews!

Just so you know, I post whatever I think is interesting... whether or not I'm inclined to buy it for my shop, and whether or not I even like it personally.

If you'd like to know if I did decide to carry a particular fabric, I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable to receive a PM, rather than have the question posted in the thread. I'd be grateful for the business, of course, but I'm trying to walk a narrow line between a community member asking "Hey, this is new, what do you think of it?" and a business person. I'm trying very hard not to blur that distinction. This forum is a wonderful, lively place, but it would be totally ruined if it became just a place full of commercial posts and advertising. I hope you all understand.

MistyMarie 01-22-2010 09:55 AM

I think it is great that we can give our opinions about what we like and don't like and feel that it is being heard by a quilt store owner. I have been in too many quilt stores where it is obvious that the owner's tastes in fabric prevail throughout the shop. I like variety and having an eclectic selection to choose from. I don't like Thimbleberries, for example, so when I walk into a quiltstore and it looks like it showcases mostly these types of fabric, I don't spend much time in the shop. (I went on the Washington Shop Hop a few years ago and some stores I spent a good hour in and bought lots, whereas other stores I spent less than ten minutes in and left empty handed.)

butterflyquilter 01-22-2010 12:46 PM

I like your previews so please keep posting them for us!

Dodie 01-22-2010 03:31 PM

Today's look at the Garden Song (think that was the one) was very much appreciated.

I actually was hoping that you worked in a storefront LQS. As I have reason to go to Buffalo frequently, I'd have SOOO been there in a heartbeat. Even online, your selections are nicer than the other shop (that has two locations) in the Buffalo area.

Quilt Mom 01-22-2010 04:12 PM

Thanks for posting the preview!

charvan 01-22-2010 06:18 PM

Got the Hancocks of Paducah catalog today, and they have different GWTW fabrics. Much larger prints; more for fussy cutting. Other coordinating colors to go with, also. Still like them.

kd124 01-22-2010 11:50 PM

I'm not really crazy about these ones especially the stripes. They remind me of wallpaper.

Quilting Treasures added one more fabric for this group.

Favorite Fabrics 03-04-2010 08:05 PM

The fabrics should start appearing in quilt shops around August.

kd124 03-04-2010 11:44 PM

Don't like this one either--I suppose it could be used as a border or at the top or bottom of a quilt.

Oklahoma Suzie 03-05-2010 06:16 PM

my sil would love it
