Your dream fabric line

Oh heck! You guys sure ask the hardest questions! LOL. I am not in the least artistic so designing fabric would prolly be the LAST thing I'd do. However I do know that the colours would be bold, striking, yet pretty. Lots of blues, greens, purples, sunsets, swirlies.......

I think mine would be spodgy batiks in vibrant colours!

And a special range with really silly things on... Like chocolate buttons and sewing machines!

Wow.. what a great question! I can't wait to read what everyone writes about this.

For myself, I'm torn between bright colored prints that will read as a solid from 5 feet away but as a print from 2 feet away or so. And I would have a line of totally unrelated fabrics that help out with sparkle, shine and punch. Bright black and white checks, Ruby red marble (the stone, not the fabric line), brilliant purple orchids, fuchsia ocean waves, intense chartreuse. Thanks for asking!

The dream fabrics just must be a very fine quality. I have some "crush" by Nancy Crow and Dragonfly Woodcut from Kona Bay. Both have the feel of a

400-count sheet. Oh, so lovely. My next quilt is go> >

What a wonderful question, Mel I shall have to think about it. I wouldn't want to rush at this - might be my only chance!!! . In article , Mel Rimmer writes

Have you seen Luana Ruben's new line with the chocolates on it? It is your dream fabric. You can see it at

Yum, yum!

Yep, it would have to have choccies of all sorts and types on it. Chocolate cakes and cookies and bon bons, bars and syrups... Other than that.. hmmmmmmm.... I love texturals... tone on tones. Prints that read almost solid. They seem to be the easiest for me to use. Next in my line would be fabrics designed specifically for appliquers to use for flowers and leaves... shaded bits, like hand dyeds. what an interesting question! Thanks Mel! Diana

This isn't useful to you, but what I REALLY need is some sort of brain interface that would produce that non-existent FIM (fabric in mind) that I always need to finish the current quilt. I know exactly what it looks like, and it's miraculous luck to find even a distant approximation at the store. Roberta in D

Thank you for sharing that toothsome treat! Its nice, but its not as

*pretty* as I could hope for. I dont know whats missing, but it should make my mouth water, and this just doesnt. :-( Diana

And, this miracle fabric would adjust itself to your budget, and cost more or less, depending on how flush you were! Skint this week? It's only $2/yard. Got a big tax refund check? $9/yard.

I would love to see a line of fabric featuring roses. Different sizes, some packed some individual, some in bouquets. And in *yellow* as well as red, pink, white, orangy, and all the other colors roses grow in. Along with coordinating greens, browns and such.

Whatever I designed, I'd make it so that people in the UK didn't have to fork out an arm and a leg for it... hows about real quality 100% cotton patchwork fabric for £1 per yard?

I'd design plaids, ala Roberta Horton. I really miss her line of plaids and find it hard to find good plaids. Good plaids are woven and are subtle. I'd design some plaids that combine deep, rich colors. Not 'country' colors.

music with backgrounds in muted tones, just to have and fondle, and make the occasional quilt with. and Moda's already got those marbles that i just want a bolt or two of each...sigh. I dunno...i'm easy.... I'd sure like to see more jewel tones, though. Seems there aren't really a lot around here, at least that i've seen lately. But then, i dont' get out much anymore....

Hullo Lisa Try to get a look at some silk plaid fabrics. They are *gorgeous*. .
