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...

Hi there,
came from the Jolly Jabber blog. How about Naming both the quilts 'Forever in Bloom' available in pink or blue. I really do love the 'Cherry Baby' fabrics. I am a first time visitor but unfortunately am not in the top three due to being in Australia and probably sleeping when you posted on the Jolly Jabber blog.......lol

[Tara]

No suggestion for a name - but those fabrics and the quilts are beautiful!

[Kris]

I found your blog about a week ago from the link on the Fat Quarter Shop. I enjoy checking in on you!

Suggestions for the quilt names:

Six Steps to the Lake
Blooming Chains of Friendship
Simply Blooming
Beds of Blooms
Totally Blue/Totally Pink
Light and Breezy

[Bonita Bates]

This is 1st time for me to comment. I love both fabrics. Only name that comes to mine would be for the blue and that would be "Hydrangea Skies" after the beautiful skies of Florida.

I Love the colorways, love hydrangeas - how about Irish Bouquet?

[Linda Nelson]

I love the hydrangeas. My grandmas house was surrounded by them. They were her favorites and mine too. Whenever I see them I remember all the good times and her cutting some to take to my grandpa's grave every Sunday. I miss her very much. I place hydrangeas on my grandma and dad's grave every holiday -- it gives me so much comfort. I would love to have the quilt named Leona for my grandma. Hydrangeas just remind me of olden times and old ladies in flowered dresses. Thanks

[Linda Nelson]

I just posted a comment about naming the quilt Leona. How about Leona's Garden.

[Mary Anne Drury]

Oohhh! such pretty fabrics/colors ! I LOVE hydrangeas !! Let's see.... a quilt name .... how about :

Picket Fence
Secret Garden
Cottage Garden
Morning Blooms

[Amy]

Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers - beautiful on your fabrics! For a name, I would suggest "Garden Steps" or "Hydrangea Heaven."

[Cheryl]

Love the new hydrangeas! As far as a name for the quilt, how about "Irish Chains and Flowers". This name would work for lots of other floral fabrics also. Or, you can keep it real simple and call the pattern "Hydrangea Corsages".

[Rachael]

Oh those quilts make me happy! They give off a nice warm feeling even in the dead of winter, and hope, for spring. I'd call them Lakeside Blooms.

[Brenda]

For the blue design my suggestion is:

"Brimming with Blue Blossoms" or
"Beautiful Blue Blossoms"

(Sorry I commented under Emma's picture the other day by mistake)

[Anna ---Flowergardengirl]

Heirloom Blue Memories
Heirloom Pink Memories

I love them both. I can't wait to do this quilt. Thank you. I'm so glad to have found you since I'm just starting my new house and needed this inspiration.

[Thimbleanna]

You're hysterical Holly! Making out on a Young Life bus??? I'm shocked LOL! Love the hydrangeas!

[Jill]

These quilts are cute! Here's my name dropping for the quilts. "Diamonds and Cut Flowers", or "Flower Arrangements" Your new lines are looking good! Keep them coming!!

[Susan Ramey Cleveland]

This is a traditional Irish Chain design--so how about "Chain Link Blue" and "Chain Link Pink." And both quilts are gorgeous.
