  42. Stunning!! There's something so unique yet so user friendly about all your fabrics and collections. I find it hard to put my finger on it but, they are so full of creativity and originality, and yet they still promote those sewing to be creative with what we do with them. Your beauty and your creativity is generous and infectious. Thank you!

  66. The voiles would suck me in a heartbeat or two for a 1930s or 1940s inspired dress. Any chance you will sell your fabrics at Vogue Fabrics?

  72. I love the looks of this new line! Can you tell me please, what is the weight of the quilting fabric...gr/yd?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Be still my beating heart!! It's all so absolutely gorgeous, Anns! I'm so excited about the cottons, and especially the voiles, as I love every voile thing I own. The only thing that's disappointing is that I won't be able to attend Spring Market, so I can't see it in person... oh, it's so sad! I'll have to console myself with entire bolts later, hopefully!

    Much love to my all-time favorite designer! (who is a complete inspiration...)

    PS The new pattern looks awesome too!

  74. Anna, listen here... you sometimes try to come across as "normal"... you know like just a "normal mom". Well, lady, you have again proven yourself wrong. You may be a "normal" mom, but you are again letting you super duper, amazing alterego out of the bag.

    Your fabrics inspire and delight those of us who already sew and they lure in new addicts with every new line.

    gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous

  83. I think I would marry that center print if I could. And if I wasn't already happily married. :) Your fabrics just make me smile - I think I need to mix some of these into our new place this summer. (See, we'll be moving in together, that fabric and I.)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Are you KIDDING??? And I have to wait until May?? I think that anyone who comments on this post should be able to pre-order...

    I'm still working with innocent crush; can not WAIT to see this in my hands!

  85. Yah for having Anna Maria Horner Laminates again! I can't wait to carry them!!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. That panel in the middle reminds me of the little folks panels that I LOVE! I must have a few yards of that middle panel so I can make it into art for my home. Can't wait! My only regret with the new line is that it means free spirit is one step closer to discontinuing Little Folks....would Free spirit EVER consider putting Little Folks on quilting cottons? One can dream....

    Love the new line!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Such dreamy colors...I should learn to sew specifically so that I can buy your fabrics and books!
