Stark Winter Trees represent this month’s theme IMHO
‘A Lone Winter Tree’ gets my vote.
Perhaps batiks will be incorporated into an upcoming theme.
Batiks and hand-dyed fabrics are the ones that make want to drop everything and quilt! This was a stunning collection this week.
Homespuns and soft florals always entice me. I guess they reflect that I’m a country girl at heart!
Batiks are absolutely the fabric that makes me run to my sewing room! But I love ALL fabric!
Modern fabrics and fabrics that look like they’re from the 70’s & 80’s make me want to sew!
A lot of new entries this week. Hard to vote.
Batiks are just sooo beautiful and offer so much inspiration. Beautiful no matter how they are used.
I love Reproduction and Vintage fabrics.
Batiks and hand dyes in earthy colors and once in awhile I will see a perfect sky sunset and have to make it into something
Batik fabrics really get my creative juices flowing.
This is a fabulous collection of Winter Themed quilts, very hard to pick just four!
I love flannels first and then batiks.
I’m a batik girl…
I love quilting cottons in Christmas colors – beautiful greens, reds, whites. I can’t wait to start sewing when I come home with some new pieces of fabric in these colors.
Sew hard to narrow it down to just one type of fabric. I guess I’d have to say ‘brights’. That includes lots of options.
Loved The one titles Three Trees. I like moderns, especially those that are bright and fun!
Modern florals
Batiks and brights make me want to rush to the sewing machine
Just can’t resist those beautiful batiks.
all new fabric makes me want to sew some thing new
When I see fabrics and a pattern that just click I want to start sewing! Batiks and ombres are really special to me though so I look for patterns that make sure of their special qualities.
I’m loving all the new shabby chic fabrics that are coming out now.
Batiks are my favorite and I love to use them as blenders! Everytime there is a fat quarter sale, I go crazy picking up combinations of colors for my stash.
I love most cotton fabrics. Lately though I’ve been adding more batiks to my stash.
Oh my, which 4 do I choose to vote for. Too hard to choose.
All are to pretty. The hand dyed fabrics are beautiful and are perfect for a new project.
I was so inspired by the quilts this week, normally my pallet of choice is bright spring and summer colors. These gals worked wonders with the darker shades of winter! A box of hand me down scraps will get me at the sewing machine quicker than anything!
I have to say Hand Dyed & Batiks are my go to fabrics. They are so versatile…and it’s like 2 fabrics for the price of one because you can use both side of the fabrics! In my world, you can’t have too many of either type…and I have the stash to prove it. Thanks for the nice giveaway!
I just love Batiks..They are my new obsession. They look so good with any project you are working with…Would love to add some to my stash..Thanks for the chance to enter this giveaway.
I just love working with batiks. Every project comes out with a surprise. Thanks for having this chance for this giveaway!
I’ve been into batiks and solids for the past few years.
I adore the batiks!!! I find myself going from traditional to modern images and I have an obsession with all fabric..Quilting is my personal therapist and the fabrics are my addiction :-) I love seeing other quilters work, there is certainly a lot of very talented people out there!!
Recently I’ve developed an obsession with gradated fabric where one color goes from light to dark or where the colors change from warm to cool. These are great for borders and to give movement over the quilt surface. Vicki’s hand dyes have wonderful gradations and I’m glad to have a chance to win some.
I’m just beginning to work with batiks and am learning to love them. But give me almost any fabric in shades of green or blue, and I’m happy.
Once again, there were so many beauties this week it was hard to narrow it down to just four choices.
Just about any batik makes me RUN to my studio to create. I’m current making an all-batik quilt called “Sea Glass” with teals, blues, and sand-colored fabrics. Something about working with batiks just inspires me so!
I love to be inspired by stripes and polka-dots. I love a quilt finished with a stripe binding.
BATIKS! Hands down! Tami In Denver
I love batiks! thank you! Wonderful quilts to vote for!
Jewel toned batiks always call to me!

prints in front of me and I definitely get sewing fever!!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Tonya in Wisconsin
Hand-dyes are FANTASTIC!! Oh, what I could to with such beautiful fabrics! Thank you for the chance to win.
I love batiks!
I was never one for most prints, but have developed a fondness for civil war prints. Tone on tones and batiks really get the mind running rampant
I like the Owl in Winter by Cynthia Zoller!
Owl in the winter gets my vote
I like soft country prints!
I find batiks fasinating and will fit in to many blocks.
