Masa
These fabrics are sew cute ~ too sad that I promised not to buy new fabrics in 2023. That said, I’ll join the fun but must use fabrics I already have in my stash.
KAREN
I like the Hugs and Kisses, haven’t worked with these colors a lot.
Jo Wray
I would like to see the whole quilt before I invested a lot of money and time in making it. It makes it easier to complete for me. I like the gnome fabric better because it’s a smaller print. I am a LOVER OF ANYTHING WITH HEARTS , but the fabric selection and size of the prints don’t excite me. That’s where having a complete vision of where I am going would be helpful.
Mary Delia
Hugs and kisses is my favorite. Looks like a lot of fun
Mary Hohlfeld
I think I like the gnomes that are blu are what I like. But I am not buying any new fabric right now. I do have some Christmas fabric with gnomes that I could use.
