My Favorite Things...240...French Blue

I have a few quirks about color.  Some of you may have noticed...I prefer my Yellows a little bit Peachy, and my Blues a little bit Peri, like this wonderful door I spotted on the Left Bank in Paris.

Is it just me, or are the blue & white enameled building numbers the cherry on the sundae?  I just love the attention to the small details that to me are oh-so-French.  So that's why the "French Blue" (aka Peri) was in the Penelope Five fabrics...it's simply one of my favorite colors, and I try to use it whenever I can.

What's your favorite color, and where do you remember it from?

Leave me a message and you will be eligible for the Penelope 456 Fat Quarter Bundle Drawing. 

Here are the details:  one comment/entry per person on this blog, entry period from now until next Friday July 13th (!) then we will draw six names and give away the six sets of Penelope Fat Quarter bundles.

Back in two shakes.

Thanks for the generous giveaway! Can't wait to see who wins!

I love red; it reminds me of the Buddist temple we visited in Hawaii.

[•stephanie•]

i love any color as long as it's red.
{and not at all orange-y.}
christmas, christmas, christmas!
my favorite time of year.

[Jamie Lee]

My favorite color is the purplish blue color the airports use in the runway lights. I guess you would call it Tanzanite. I'm not sure why I like it, but I do!

[Joyce]

Yellow...anything yellow!

[Rosemary]

I love the color of the sky on a clear, dry day. I just love that sky blue. I'm not sure why I like it. It just seems to hold the promise of a lovely day.

[Lisa Marie]

My favorite is yellow and I associate it with any place with bright sunshine.

[Val Laird]

Oh, it's difficult to choose just one! I am very fond of blue - it's what my mother used to dress me in when I was a child. I am with you on the periwinkle side of the colour - love it! And I just LOVE the new Penelope range - just gorgeous!

[Deb]

I came over from Shabby Fabrics! Love the bundles. My favorite color was blue when I was a little girl because I loved the blue hydrangeas by our back porch. Now I love purple a lot.

[Dianne Mitzel]

Visiting from Shabby Fabrics, my favorite color is blue, aqua, like the sea...and I also love purple..

Shabby Fabrics fan here...
Since moving to the desert southwest, my favorite color is green. Lots of brown here. I used to be more of a blue person living on the east coast. We did paint the patio ceiling blue here. You know... to keep the haints away. ;-)
Thanks for the wonderful give-away!

[Terry Conner]

All colors. But periwinkle was one color in my crayon box that I grouped with sea green, carnation pink, and salmon to color new dresses for cut out dolls.

[Brenda]

What a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the chance.

[Carol]

I agree the Periwinkle Blue is so nice. Your new fabric is so soft and pretty. I love red fabrics and the reds in your Penelope fabrics is lovely.

[Donna]

I love blue - any shade of blue! Blue is such a calming, peaceful color. I enjoy watching the display of blue in the sky - bright and soft with fluffy white clouds to dark and serene with brilliant sparkling stars,

[Maria]

I'm kind of a lime green fan. But then there's orange and red. Oh, and purple. I guess I just love color!

[Nancy]

Hi Holly! I'm here from Shabby Fabric and I gotta tell ya, I adore all the Lakehouse fabrics and Penelope is no exception! My favorite color is all shades and hues of purple. I don't know where I first saw it, I just know that it has been my favorite since I was a very little girl and that is very long time ago, LOL. Thanks so much for a chance in this super giveaway. Hugs...

[Donna]

I love any shade of pink or purple. Love the new line of fabric!

Pine Green I first saw it in a box of crayons.

[betsy]

The soft romantic oink reminds me of the rose soap packaging from Evelyn and Ives. Thank you for the chance.

[Viv Stock]

It's so hard to pick a favorite color. It was always yellow, but lately red calls my name, but then I like blue and white.....oh this is too hard. I love this fabric line.

[Pam C]

I don't have a favorite color-but a few that I really like. Salmon, green, pink, and coral are at the top of the list.

[Diane]

I love pink, all shades but especially the color of roses. I love roses!
