My Favorite Things...109...Pink & Blue!

Knowing how popular our Hydrangea & Raspberry fabric has been (for "pert near" a decade!) We re-released it again last fall in two of my favorite colorations...In a little over a month, we'll have a NEW panel fabric that is a sister design to these latest Hydrangeas.  It's LH 07017 Hydrangea Corsage...I just love it!  There are 6 different "corsage styles" in the panel.  Here's a close up of one of the styles in the two colorways.

Many of you know the colors by now of our Fall 2007 intro'd Hydrangea fabrics...But for the newbies, repeat after me:  "Pink and Blue". 

When I say that to myself, I have to chuckle a little bit...As I take a trip down memory lane...

This time it's all the way back to high school..."Back in the day", I a) was very active in Young Life, b) was an avid skier and c) was totally boy crazy and d) had not only a head-to-toe powder blue ski outfit, but a pink ensemble (that I made for myself) as well.  Without giving you every unflattering detail, let's just say there was a lot of mashing aka "making out" on the Prospect High School & the Young Life Ski Trip buses.  "Pink and Blue"  was the jeer that would be bandied about whenever the bus stopped for gas and a pit stop,( and a couple would unlock their lips for a few minutes)...(Translation:  Get any closer with that guy or gal and you might be needing pink or blue booties in nine months.)

Looking back, it's all really funny to me, especially since pink and blue still remain two of my most favorite colors...What's with that?

With that off of my chest ladies, I am yet again in the horns of dilemma, and need your assistance.

We "needs a name" for this new quilt design, (if I can use your quilt name, you win a prize!)

Here's the Heron Blue colorway...

And the Petal Pink...

Looking forward to reading your suggestions, gals.
Have a relaxing weekend.

Back in two shakes...

Beautiful!! For the pink, I think that the name should be "Oh So, Pretty in Pink" and the blue "Spring Time Blues". I hope this helps.

I am in love with these. They are absolutely beautiful.

Read about your site at the FQShop. I've bookmarked it and will be back often. Super site!

[kylie]

Gorgeous. I'm here from the Fat Quarter Shop "Jolly Jabber" blog, too, as a first-time visitor. I'll think about those names.

[Valerie]

I saw your blog on Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Jabber. It's always fun to discover new blogs (new-to-me anyways), and yours is fun!

I have come over from Fat 1/4 shop, love your Cherry baby fabric.
How about "Hip Hydrangeas"...

[Laura]

Since you have a bit of an Irish chain going on there, how about "Hydrangea Chain"?

[Lisa Leimone]

"Petal Pushers!"

G'day from Australia - I just recently had a friend say she was looking for blue hydrangea inspiration - she's going to love this - it's beautiful!

[Sequana]

They look so much like little corsages. I'll suggest "Just for You"

[Christine Cole]

Beautiful quilts. They make my heart sing. As for names, how about "My Bonnie Blue" and "Pink Perfection". Love your fabrics and your site, I just came here from fat quarter shop, I'll be back.

Just read your blog on the Jolly Jabber and it is my first visit. I really like the hydrangia line in both the blue and pink. I was thinking of something to do with the irish chain pattern or something irish sounding. Maybe "When blue eyes are smiling." "Little Lassie" for the pink!

[Cory]

Those Hydrangea Corsages are beautiful. What about Irish Corsage or Irish Nosegay?

Take care, Cory

[Daphne Sherlock]

Thinking Pink ---- Talking Blue! I totally love your lines of fabric and went to your blog for the first time after reading the article in McCall's magazine. This could get addictive!

[Sherry H.]

Gorgeous! I've been waiting for what seems like forever for this fabric to hit the shops, so I know what I'm going to be doing tomorrow. :-) How about "Hydrangea Hopscotch"?

[Jeanne]

The baby quilt made in honor of little Emma is adorable. Heard about it from Jolly Jabber.

[Nicole]

This is a great blog!! Thanks Jolly Jabber! :) It's been added to bloglines!

As for the quilt name my mom always call hydrangea hortensia....so my suggestion is Hortensia Lattice.

[Janet]

Did you ever say what the name was on the pillow? We could only see an N. Janet

[Studio Christine]

how about "blocks and posies"

would work with just about any flower then....

makes for more versatile interpretations
