It's been one year since my
good neighbors fabric was released. That may be a silly thing to celebrate, but I, for one, am excited that it is still available in
both yardage and pre-cuts. I have enjoyed seeing how others have used the fabric. I also enjoyed working it into all kinds of projects...from quilt backings to pincushions. To celebrate, I'm going to give away two bundles of good neighbors fabric...one in a warm colorway, one in a cool colorway. The giveaway is open to all. International entries are welcome with the stipulation that you will be willing to cover shipping costs, should you win a bundle. If you would like to throw your name into the hat, please leave me a comment in this post. In your comment, I would like to know if you tend to gravitate toward warm colors or cool colors when you are making projects and also where you are from. If you have made something with good neighbors fabric, I'd love to hear about that, too. :) I will pick a winner in a few days!

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 898 of 898I am from Sunny Central Florida USA and I love cool colors... purple may not be a cool color necesarily, but it's ny favorite.
I love warm colour. I live in Kedah,Malaysia
I used to use mainly warm colors but seem to be drawn to the cool colors in the last year. I have always lived in Lakeland, Florida. It is in central Florida between Tampa and Orlando. You are such an inspiration for me.Thanks for sharing your triumphs and your boo-boos.
I am from Tzfat, in northern Israel. I would love to win your fabric giveaway! I use both warm and cool colors, and often the whole spectrum, as I love rainbow quilts!
Thanks for your great blog!

I bought some good neighbours fabric last fall and I am busy hand piecing a Jen Kingwell quilt with it. Love the colours although I am always partial to the green and blue colour combos. I love your blog and have made a few quilts from your book, and you got me into knitting socks which I had thought I would never do....10 pairs later. Thanks for all your encouragement, Kate from Brookdale, Manitoba, Canada.
I generally like cool colors. Blues and greens are my favorites. I am from Pocatello, Idaho, but after living in Utah, Wyoming, Washington, and Montana, I now live in Michigan.
I have just gotten into quilting and I like warm and cool colors. I think I am leaning towards the warm colors in your lovely collection. I live in Utah. :0)
This just so cheers my day! Color color color, yippee!
I prefer cool colors, and I'm from Utah.
I am a huge fan of cool colors. Tons of greens and blues in my stash. I love the quilts others make with warmer tones but I find myself only buying cools. :-) Thanks for the chance to win!
Cool or warm colors? That's a difficult question....I like them both! The clothing I wear is predominantly warm colors due to my complexion, but my quilting seems to gravitate towards the cool jewel colors. I live in Birmingham Alabama & we have greenery & sunshine year round even when it gets cold - maybe that influences my quilting choices. Would love to win either bundle of your fabric line. Thanks so much for all the things your share on your blog. - Beth
I'm afraid it depends on the day/week/month/season of my life! :) Currently in Nebraska and wishing for cooler weather to move in...so perhaps right now I'm a cool color girl! :)
Ooooh, so hard to choose. I seem to vacillate between cool and warm depending on the season, actually. I haven't used your collection, but I really admire it. Thanks for a great blog and this generous giveaway!
Happy Sewing!

Oh, dangit! Forgot to tell you where I'm from! I live in the glorious Pacific Northwest in a small town, Aberdeen, Washington, about 15 minutes from the Pacific Ocean.. it's temperate weather, which suits me to a T! Thanks again!

I have made a baby quilt from a charm pack of good neighbors, then I ordered the layer cake bundle so I could make one or two more. I would love to have more as I enjoyed sewing with it so much. I probably gravitate toward warm colors the most but I really appreciate the cool tones, too. thanks for the chance to win.

Definitely a cool color person. But I do enjoy warm colors. I think it reflects the weather in my part of the Bay Area.
I love your collection and I have some as well as gifting to a good friend. I tend to gravitate to cool colors but then some days to warm colors - I am definitely a Gemini - from northern Michigan. Love your blog too!!
It would have to be yes. Yes to both warm and cool colors. All work in my stash!! Love your quilts. The rocky mountains get cold in the winter.
I live in Texas and I love your Good Neighbors fabric-especially daisies and cross stitch. I tend more towards using cool colors.
I always gravitate toward cool colors in my quilting and in my clothing. I've been collecting some warmer colors lately, peach, melon, yellows…but I love cool blues and greens!

I am gravitating towards the warm colours. I love the pink, yellow and orange... so bright and happy. I live in Ireland. What a great giveaway.
I love your blog.
I like warm colors, from New York state. Thanks for a chance to win!
I'm from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and I prefer the cool blues and greens I see out my window every morning!
I love your fabric line and tried to incorporate the aquas into a quilt in progress. Alas, they didn't blend as I had hoped. Was actually just considering revisiting your line to purchase some of the cool colors for a summer quilt
I like saturated jewel tones, from ruby to emerald, so a mix of non pastel warm and cool.

I'm def a warm color person and hail from the great (and cold) State of Maine, transplanted to Washington DC but finishing up an assignment in Afghanistan.
I always gravitate towards cool colors--blue is my favorite! I'm from East Tennessee. Thanks for the chance to win your lovely fabric!
Oh this would be so wonderful!!
Sorry, I forgot to add my two bits about color.
I tend to go with more warm darker colors for some reason but I am getting into using more bright colors so I would really love this set!
I am from Calgary, Alberta.
I love this fabric, though my quilting budget is pretty low so I've only admired it through my computer screen so far :) I gravitate towards the cool colours, for sure. I'm from Canada :) Thanks for the chance to win.
I love all colour even white which is lack of colour. It's a fabulous giveaway, thank you so much from Australia. To Aussies, it,s a mix of Blues for ocean and skies, and reds and deep reds and orange for our deserts. It's a colour way I'm drawn to in a national sense, and one I love after living in the far north for 20 years. Once seen, never forgotten.
Thank you
Glad to see you back! I love fabric haven't seen this line, would love to try it. I love cool colors but my hubby loves fall, so either way works for me love them both here in Crosby, Texas!
Hmm, I think I gravitate toward blues most of all (so cool colors) but I really love all colors. I'm from Louisiana and one of the my favorite things about going away is coming home to the greens in our landscape. It's amazing that we can tell how close we are to home just based on the color of the land. Are you suggesting that there's a quilter out there who hasn't used Good Neighbors? Surely not! I like to use a sprinkle of it in projects. It's a hard-working line that can go into almost any project!
I tend to like the cooler colors.
I just love your collection:) I am torn between warm and cool tones. I would be thrilled with either.
I am in love with oranges, lemon and pinks.
this is a great set of fabrics.
Fun, thanks for thinking of your readers.
What pretty colors! What fun it would be to create some vintage blocks with these fresh new prints! Not sure if I prefer cool or warm, that's a tough decision!
Good luck everyone!

I use all sorts of colours depending on my mood. But never brown.
I love your fabric line! I have a FQ bundle that I will be cutting into soon for Christmas presents...probably some type of zipper bags. I love the cooler colors but am perfectly willing to step out of my box into the warmer colors too!!
Greetings from Chicago area/burbs. I love the cool colors! Best, Mary
Love the fabric, I would go with cool coolers. I live in Cary, North Carolina.
I love this color line and would love either the warm or cool collections! I use both in my quilts. Thank you for this opportunity to win these lovely fabrics!
I tend to like warm colors. I just purchased your coffee cup quilt kit as well as the backing fabric from your line from Connecting Threads. Can't wait to make it.
I love warm colors. but really I like most any color...I love your fabric line/// Thanks for the chance to win....
At one time not so long ago, I liked the warm, earthy colours but I've turned a new leaf and am loving brighter colours in my quilts that vary from oranges and reds to pinks and purples. Following you from Ontario, Canada. Thanks for the giveaway.
How very generous of you! I think I gravitate more toward cool colors, but mixing it up is good too. I admire how well you mix fabrics and colors. I am from Ohio, and currently live in the SW corner of the Buckeye state.
I tend to gravitate towards warm colours, and would love to make something from your gorgeous fabrics...I'm from Ontario Canada

I like cool colors. But also have a stash with warmer colors. I am from SD but live in NE
I usually go with warmer colours I think, and I am from Penticton, BC, Canada!
I love your fabrics and this is a great way to celebrate!

I love the timelessness of your fabric designs, my go to colors are usually cool colors
Living in the Pacific Northwest I probably gravitate toward any colors that can offer some brightness to offset the dreariness that can often hang about. Your fabrics would be great for a baby quilt for a co-worker having their first child.
I am usually drawn to cool colors, but I'm also a sucker for anything red! The leaves will be changing soon and I look forward to the beautiful fall colors. :)
Hi, I am Martina from Germany and I would love to get a Chance to work with your good neighbors fabric. Thinking about it I have to say that I work more in the cool colorway even though I adore red, yellow and orange quilts, too. But somehow there are more cool Colors in my stash.

I'm drawn toward cool colors, although I love a good rainbow. I'm from the northwest corner of Washington state.

I use lots of blues and greens in quilts, but lately I seem to be leaning more toward the warm end of the spectrum. It energizes me as I'm quilting. Thanks for the chance.
I love to piece with cool colors. I am addicted to color so I also use warm colors too. Quilting is such a great outlet that allows me to work with colors on a daily basis. I live in the little town of Ucon Idaho, just north of Idaho Falls.
I like both warm and cool, but have been leaning towards cool, bright colors lately. I'm from Newfoundland, Canada.
I guess I lean toward cool colors, blues and greens being my favorites. However, my favorite season here in upstate New York is fall with its lovely seasonal (warm) colors.
Cool colors for me! My children tease me about how my wardrobe is mostly shades of one color - blue! :)
I can't believe it's been a year since your collection came out! I love cool colors and I'm from North Carolina. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi Amanda! I would say it depends. Looking at fabric around my crafting space I see cool stacks and warm stacks, maybe it depends on the season I am in when I pull a project. I quilt in S.E. Wisconsin!
I tend to pick more warm and muted tones but have had a lot of fun with past projects that included bright and cool colors.
As we live on the SE coast of Florida, I usually choose cool colors, although I do love red. Thank you for the generous give away and I agree with being able to purchase more of the same type of fabric in another color way.
Oops, I forgot to say I am from Maine. I would love the warm colorway!
I love all bright bold colors no matter if they are warm or cool. I also gravitate towards novelty prints the most. I live in Phoenix, AZ.
I use mostly cool colors. I'm from indiana and i've not purchased any fabric yet as i like most of the prints in large quantities for backing but prefer 108' size.
If it's for my daughter and me it's a warm color; if it's for my son, son-in-law or granddaughter it's a cool color! Love them all. I'm from BC, Canada
I love the Good Neighbors line! Warm or cool colors would work for me...I just want the fabric!!
I seem to have lots of blue and green scraps so I must gravitate towards cool colors. I'd like to make something with Good Neighbors fabric - they are wonderful prints but I don't buy too much fabric online. I do like to shop at Grubers when I get up there from Buffalo, MN. My regular email is marie dot jacobs at outlook dot com although I think I have to sign in with a google account. And welcome back!
I live in Florida and I don't like the heat. I definitely gravitate towards the cooler blues and greens. So much so that I have recently intentionally worked on sewing in other colors.
Cool colors kind of gal here! But I love the warm too of course :) I am from Northern Massachusetts!
My colors tend to be on the cool side. But I love working warm colors into my quilts too. I'm from central Virginia.
I seem to always be drawn to the warm tones
Love this fabric Line and I've bought some. Can't wait to use it.
I am definetely a warm color gal (think Hawaiian sunsets) and I live in Redindo Beach, CA. Thanks for the chance. Oh , I love making your pin cushions!
Hello Amanda-Jean happy anniversary! Would love to win a pack since I can't get my hands on it here is Australia! Love reading your blog so thank you for your dedication to writing it. Vicki
I am from Indiana :)
I would say that I probably gravitate to cool fabrics. It is really hard to say though because I really love both. Just depends on what I am making! I love your color choices!!

I'm from Albuquerque! I think I gravitate toward the cool colors.
I'm from Albuquerque! I think I gravitate toward the cool colors.
I tend to gravitate to bright and darker, warm colors. I love these!
I think I gravitate to cool colours and yet love the look of warm colors in other's work and quilts. I should challenge myself!
I loved your line and am waiting for the perfect thing to make with it.
I live in Canada close to Niagara Falls but have a U.S. address as well :)
This fabric is easily the most useful I have seen in at least a year! I got some as soon as it came out, and know I will continue to get more as I am able. I love warm colors, but I tend to use them up as soon as they arrive!
While I sew with lots of blues, I tend to mix them with the warmer colors. Still, probably the cool tones. Southern Utah is my home. Maybe since I live in red rock and sage brush country, I'm glad to see blues and greens in anything. Thanks
I love greens and blues, so I am squarely in the Cool Colors group! I live in WNY, where we've had unseasonably warm temperatures and I haven't felt much like quilting lately. I'm sure that will change once fall weather hits, though!
Lately it has been cooler colors for me. With our cooler MN evenings, maybe it's time to quilt something warm?!?
I am from California and haven't yet run across the Good Neighbors line in my local store. In my mind I like warm colors but then I seem to work with cool colors. However, my favorite is just bright colors. Actually, I just made the Checkerboard quilt from Sunday morning quilts and it is my favorite ever! I have been putting aside fabric bits for almost 2 years!
I would love to win your fabric in a warm color way! It's gorgeou!. I am a longtime fan and find the simple colors very striking!please choose me.
What cute fabrics and pin cushion.would be great to win. Thank you so much!
I think that I am drawn to warm colors but do use a variety of colors when working on projects. I am from the Pacific Northwest. I have not used your fabric line but do think it is great.
Amanda, I'm from Iowa, and I tend to work with warm AND cool colors, depending on how I feel--guess I just love all fabrics! And I love your Good Neighbors line and made a lap quilt with them, using the Nina pattern from GE Designs--a fun pattern. So if I won some more of that same fabric, it would be in good company with my leftovers. Thanks for the chance.
I absolutely love this line of fabric and your style of quilting. You inspire me so much. It would be an honor to win this bundle.
I love this fabric and would love to add this to my stash for a very special quilt. Thank you.
