Designer Select: Bonnie and Camille



The Fat Quarter Shop, Bonnie and Camille have teamed up to present you with a Fat Quarter Shop Exclusive! Bonnie and Camille have specially selected 12 prints from their Ruby collection along with 3 coordinating Bella Solids for this special bundle you will only find at the Fat Quarter Shop.




Q: What inspired you to pick the colors and designs in your Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle?
A: Ruby is actually named after Camille's spunky great-grandma Ruby. A bit about Ruby, at a whopping 5 foot 1in tall, she had bright red hair and drove a sporty orange Nova in her 70's. That should sum her up pretty well. She was a fireball! We used one of her favorite aqua flower brooches and several vintage prints from her fabric collection as the inspiration for the line, which absolutely had to include red, aqua and just a bit of orange, just to commemorate the Nova. Silly, right?


Ruby & her friend Betty


It probably wouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but we happen to love a great aqua/red combo more than just about anything. There is just something about those colors together; and then mixed with a limey green, beautiful gray and a coral? Perfect. It was easy to select the prints for our bundle, we are aqua and red junkies. It's true. The solids we picked for the bundle complement and show off the other prints really well, and that floral ties it all together.




Q: What are 3 words you would choose to describe this collection, not including any of the fabric designs!
A:
1. Cheery
2. Fresh
3. Retro

*2 Truths and a Lie* 
1. We are completely hooked on Dr. Pepper and Diet Coke.
2. We share a birthday.
3. We have almost enough fabric between us to circle the earth twice.

One of the 3 statements is false. Comment on this post telling me which statement you think is false. Answer correctly and you have a chance to win Bonnie & Camille’s Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle!

You have exactly one week from the post date.
Good Luck!

  2. I know this one. I happen to follow Camille's blog and I know she loves Dr.Pepper. I'm sure her Mom is the Diet. Coke gal, me too. I also know they share a birthday. So, I'm saying number 3 is false. Love Ruby fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  3. #3 is the incorrect statement (although I'm sure that it's almost true)!! I absolutely LOVE the ruby collection...I was never a fan of aqua & red together until now.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm guessing #3 is false as well. I know Camille is crazy about Dr Pepper! Love the aqua/red combo! "Ruby" sounds like she was a very memorable, amazing lady - full of life. Very cool that you named this fabric group for her.

  5. Gorgeous!! And I'm guessing Number 3 is false :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. #3? That would be a lot of fabric! Love the scalloped red print!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think that #2 is a lie. #3 is probably just an exageration.. LOL but then again.. it is possible.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Well, I'm sure they have lots of fabric, but #3 seems a little too much - so three is false.

    ReplyDelete
  9. #3 unbelievably is false! Ruby is beautiful. Way to go Bonnie and Camille!

    ReplyDelete
  10. #3....what gorgeous fabric & I love the back-story!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I love these fabrics! And I'm guessing that #3 is false :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I think the false statement is having enough fabric to circle the earth. LOVE this fabric itis my favourite.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think it would be pretty hard to have that much fabric so #3 is my guess. Awesome collection - thanks for the chance to win it.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think 3 is false, but I'm sure they come close! Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Love Ruby! I'm contemplating doing a dear jane in Ruby. I think #3 is false.

  16. number 3 is false -- aren't they a great team!
    Karen

    ReplyDelete
  17. #3. That would be an awesome amount of fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would say that #3 is false.....although it could be close to the truth!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think #3 is false... that's alot of fabric unless they hae a warehouse to store it - in which case I would change my vote to #2.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love all those colors together! I believe statement #3 is the lie. :o) Thank you!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Love this collection! I think #3.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think #3 is false. Boy, would that be a lot of fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think #3 is false. I recall reading about Camille's Dr. Pepper obsession and I vaguely recollect the birthday thing?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love their new fabric line. I think number 3 is incorrect.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love Camille's blog! Number 3 is the lie!!

    Lisa L

    ReplyDelete
  26. These gals design the prettiest fabric. I know they share the same birthday, so I will guess that #3 is false.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I Love this colorful Line!! I am betting #3 is incorrect~

    Huggs, Nancy

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think #3 is false since I follow Camille's blog!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think 3 is false, but boy would it be great to have that much fabric! And the space to store it, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  30. My granddaughter would love a quilt made from this bundle.

    #3 - false

    ReplyDelete
  31. This fabric looks absolutely yummy! I think #3 is false - though I think I have enough fabric to circle the earth maybe once.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Beautiful fabrics! I think #3 is false. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think number 3 is false. Love the fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think #3 is false. Love that Ruby fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think #3 is false. Ruby is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm guessing statement #3 is false. That would be a lot of fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I don't think #3 is true! Great interview - I love Ruby!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm going with number 3. That would be a stinkin' lot of fabric, that I'd like to own I might add! So happy to see you honoring your great-grandma. I think grandma's are awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I am going to say #2, even though #3 seems unlikely! I love Ruby!

    ReplyDelete
  40. 3 is false...but maybe it is because they could circle the earth 3 times. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love Bonnie and Camille, and I love their new Ruby line. It is a perfect compliment to Bliss. I think that number 3 is false. I haven't made the calculations, but it seems a little far fetched :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think 3 is false - that would be a LOT of fabric! :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love, love this fabric line.
    I think they proably have enough to circle once but twice is a stretch so my guess is #3

    ReplyDelete
  44. 3 must be a lie. I'm sure they have a lot of fabric, but that would be A LOT of fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think 3 is false. Fabric line is so pretty. Thank you for the opportunity.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I follow Camille's blog and I am sure the only one not true is Number 3. Thanks for the chance to win. Linda

    ReplyDelete
  47. I know that Camille loves Dr. Pepper because I read her blog. I think I remember reading that she shares a birthday with her mom. So I'm guessing #3 if false. I can't even imagine how many yards of fabric it would take to circle the earth twice but I'm guessing even Moda couldn't do it with their supply! Love that gorgeous bundle and I caught the aqua/red bug from Camille long ago.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I will pick #3. I love everything of their fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm almost positive that #3 is the false one...although I'm sure we all have LOTS of fabric stash! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  50. While number three seems almost so ridiculous it must be true, I'm going to guess false

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'm going with #3, even though I can imagine saying that about my fabric stash!

    ReplyDelete
  52. This fabric is so darn pretty! I just love the color combination, and the prints are charming. Well, number 3 must be false! I'll bet they have enough to reach the moon! LOL!
    Seriously, though, can you imagine what kind of loveliness must be in the stash of these two ladies?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Love this fabric. Thanks fo the posst. Number 2 cannot possibly be true if they are mother and daughter, The birth year would have to be different.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Such a gorgeous bundle! I think I'll have to go with #3...though who wouldn't want enough fabric to circle the earth? But, where would you ever stash it?? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Mmmmm - this fabric bundle is so pretty! Bright and cheery - just like the designers - they always make me smile :)

    #3 is false - although I bet these beautiful ladies can make it pretty far to the moon with their fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win such a gorgeous bundle!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Love RUBY - red and aqua - yummy!

    I think #3 is false.
    Love to win....

    ReplyDelete
  57. #3 has to be the false one - that would be almost 7 million yards of fabric each, and I don't think even FQS has that much lying around!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I am guessing #3!
    Lovely bundle!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Perhaps #2 is incorrect. Some would say I had enough fabric to circle the earth twice. I think these two woman are great. Great family, friends and fabric designers. Love everything they do.
    Congrats to the winner.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I think #3 is false. No one has THAT much fabric! Kathie L in Allentown

    ReplyDelete
  61. I've searched through Camille's blog, and I think that #3 is false.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I think all 3 statements are true, the ladies just measured their fabric with metric rulers instead of yardsticks, so they came up a bit short in the math redo. I'll pick #3 as false...but just barely false. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  63. This is fun!! I pick number 3 because they probably have even more fabric than that!! :-) LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I am a junkie for Camille's blog so I am going to go with #3 as incorrect. Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  65. i'm going with number 3. not impossible, i just don't believe it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. #3 is the lie, though I could almost believe it! Love the collection and the bundle!

    ReplyDelete
  67. These ladies are amazing!!! I love every line they have designed and so look forward to the next one. And I am going to have to go with number 3

    ReplyDelete
  68. I'd have to say that #3 would be the falsehood. It's probably not a total lie, maybe just an exaggeration? ;)

    Thanks for sharing the backstory on Ruby. It's a great fabric line!

    ReplyDelete
  69. #3!! christina112358 at gmail dot com

    ReplyDelete
  70. Maybe once but probably not twice.#3 is false.Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Gorgeous fabric! I know that they share a birthday, and that Camille loves Dr Pepper, so I guess I'll go for number 3 being the lie!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I know people with a lot of fabric but #3 seems to be a little far fetched! I'd think you'd need ware housese to store that much fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Camille blogs more about her fascination with Dr Pepper than she does about her fabric stash, so I'm saying #3 is false

    ReplyDelete
  74. I am guessing #3 was intended to be a lie...but I wonder how close it may be to the truth!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'm picking number 3. I'm sure they have a lot of fabric, but circling the earth twice- no way. Maybe once though.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I'm going with #3 because while I'm sure both have lots and lots of fabric, I also know they use lots and lots of fabric to create their beautiful quilts :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. I think number 3 is false. Loving Ruby!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I've loved reading Mrs. Bonnie and Camille's blogs for a while now, so I'm going to go with #3. Although wouldn't a stash that big be fun to sort through?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Totally love this collection. I'd like to make Swoon with these fabrics. I'll guess #3 - Probably enough for once around the world but twice?? Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Two of the cutest girls ever. Love them.

    ReplyDelete
  81. What gorgeous fabrics! And yes, I think that #3 is the false statement. :)

    ReplyDelete
  82. 3 has to be false. But wow. Can you imagine... :)

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'm sure #3 is false but I bet it's close! (LOL) I've been waiting to make Swoon and Ruby would be my first fabric choice...love the colors. Cheers to great grandma Ruby!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  84. This is a hard one! I think #3 is false though! Love Ruby!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I'm going with #3 as false as well ... that'd be an LOT of fabric!

    I was at my LQS last week when Ruby arrived ... gorgeous!

    Thanks so much for the opportunity to win some!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. I saw this blog post and jumped up and down. I love their lines! I'm guessing #3. All that fabric would take up quite a bit of space.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I believe #3 is incorrect. Thank you for the chance to win. Take care and God bless, Cory

    ReplyDelete
  88. the lie must be #3, the size of their stash! this bundle is so sweet ... would love to have it in my stash!thanx for the opportunity to win it.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I know the first one is correct and I think two is correct, so I will say three is the lie.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Lovely fabric! 3 must be false, but I wish it was true for me ;)

    ReplyDelete
  91. I think since the circumference of the earth is 24,901.55 miles, that the 3rd answer is the lie.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'm thinking #3 is false. Thank you so much for the opportunity!!! I love your fabric!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. number three is false, threes a charm :O} would love a chance to win some ruby, have all their lines, made a quilt out of each so far, the only quilts i have kept for myself personally :O} I currently do not own any ruby, so this would be great to win!!! thanks

    ReplyDelete
  94. I think the false comment is number 3

    ReplyDelete
  95. It might be close, but #3 is false. The bundle is gorgeous; thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Wow, what a great giveaway! I am going to guess #3 :-)

    ReplyDelete
  97. It has to be #3 because that would mean they would have to have close to 88 million yards of fabric between the two of them. That is a great deal of fabric. Which comes out to about 4 million bolts. WOW that is a lot of fabirc!!!

    ReplyDelete
  98. They probably almost have enough fabric, but #3 is false!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I think the 3rd one is false - love Ruby!

    ReplyDelete
  100. Number 3! We all think we do, but really....no.

    ReplyDelete
  101. #3 is false. Ruby sounds a lot like my grandmother.

    marksey3@msn.com

    ReplyDelete
  102. I think #3 is false. Where would you store all that fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  103. # 3 has to be incorrect! Thanks for the fun!

    ReplyDelete
  104. #1 is false. I think they're both hooked on Dr. Pepper.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  106. I think #3 is false.
    I love Ruby esp. the grey quirky,it's so pretty!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  108. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'll say "3".....but thats just a wild guess

    ReplyDelete
  110. Having read your blogs regularly and getting to know a bit about each of you I am definitely going with #3.
    Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful line.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I am going to say that #3 is incorrect...and possibly because they could circle the earth more than 2 times with their combined fabric collection lol

    ReplyDelete
  112. #3 is false - they surely have more fabric than that statement indicates.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I think Number 3 is not correct!

    ReplyDelete
  114. I know that 3 is false. They probably have enough fabric to circle the earth 4 times! Love Ruby!

    ReplyDelete
  115. I think number 3 might be incorrect. How many miles is it around the earth? :D

    ReplyDelete
  116. #3 is NOT true! It only FEELS like you have that much fabric. ;0

    ReplyDelete
  117. No doubt about it, #3 is false (though I am sure they have LOTS of fabric between the two of them)!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  118. What great fabric! I'm guessing that #3 is incorrect - but it might be close to truth!

    ReplyDelete
  119. Ha ha, #3 is false, though not a stretch of the imagination ;) I love Ruby!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Really love the Ruby line! I would say No. 3 is a stretch from the truth :).

    ReplyDelete
  121. Well, you'd need over 85 million yards of fabric to go around the world twice, so I'm guessing #3 is false.
    ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  122. Love Bonnie and Camille, but I think #3 is untrue.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I would certainly hope #3 is false!

    (I read Camille's blog, so I'm pretty sure that's correct.)

    ReplyDelete
  124. LOVE RUBY!
    LOVE YOUR BLOGS+PHOTOS!
    YEP! IT'S #3 !
    THANKS SO FOR SHARING AGAIN ♥

    ReplyDelete
  125. I'm going with #3 for sure. Hope I get to be a lucky winner of that lovely fabric :)

    ReplyDelete
  126. I'm guessing it's number 3 that is false. And I LOVE these prints!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I am guessing #3 is false but probably not by much.

    ReplyDelete
  128. #3. lol! Maybe enough for almost once, but not twice. ;D

  132. Hmm.... I think that # 3 is false. Probably seems like it at times though! Great fabrics!!

    ReplyDelete
  133. I think #3 is false (because I believe 1 and 2 are correct!)

    ReplyDelete
  134. I adore Ruby! what a fun line!!

    ericaengland@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  136. My vote is that #3 is false. I'll bet they have a LOT of fabric, though!

  139. #3 is false! Love the new Ruby line!

    ReplyDelete
  140. Hmmm . . . . this one is tough . . .

    I'm going to guess that number 3 is false - but not by much!

    Thanks for the giveaway!!

    ReplyDelete
  141. #3. Everyone knows you have enough fabric to circle THREE times. Love the story about the Nova!

    ReplyDelete
  142. #3 is false! Love these two ladies' designs!

    ReplyDelete
  143. #3 is false. Keep doing what you're doing. I love your fabric and designs.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Wow. I'm trying to imagine how big their houses would have to be to hold that much fabric. I'm going with #3. That's cool that they share a birthday!

    ReplyDelete
  145. #3 is not true. I love Ruby and would like to win some!
    Greetings, Inka from Germany

    ReplyDelete
  146. I bet it's close, but #3 is false....and I want some Ruby!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  147. Originally I was going to say #3, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it is true. So, I guess that means I'm going with #2.

    ReplyDelete
  148. I believe #3 is false - love this new line - actually love all their fabric lines! :)

    ReplyDelete
  149. Had to do the math to see how many yards of fabric #3 would be. I'm going with that crazy answer. :)

    ReplyDelete
  150. A Little Blue DragonflyOctober 24, 2011 at 1:59 PM

    I'm guessing that #3 is false, but not by much! LOVE Ruby! Thanks for the chance to win some! :)

    ReplyDelete
  151. Great Grandma Ruby sounds like so much fun!! #3 is false.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I had a wonderful relative named Ruby, too. We called her Nanny Ruby. Thanks for bringing wonderful memories to mind! Great looking collection!

    Let's say number 3 is false or not entirely true:)

    ReplyDelete
  153. #3 is false. I love Ruby. The colors are so pretty. I had a grandmother named Ruby too. She had reddish hair too...for awhile. Then she dyed it again!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I remember reading about Dr. Pepper and shared birthdays, so #3 is not true. Love Ruby... so pretty! Thanks for the chance to win some!

    ReplyDelete
  155. I heard that somepart of the body, blood vessels if laid end on end perhaps could circle the earth (which blew my mind) but if anyone's stash could do it I would think you are counting threads...so #3? but who knows?(Well, they do of course!) I agree with their description of this pretty fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  156. I guess #3 is false - that's a lot of yardage! Thanks for interview - Ruby looks great and sounds like it has a great namesake!

    ReplyDelete
  157. #3 is probably almost true, but I'm going with false! Thanks for making it easy on us!

    ReplyDelete
  158. I am going with # 3, but that sure would be awesome if they did! Love this line of fabric, so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  159. I think #3 is the lie. Probably not by much though.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Statement 3 is false I believe. I read their blogs so I'm pretty sure it's 3. Anyway, that would be a ginormous of fabric! Way more than two houses full I would think!

    ReplyDelete
  161. I would use these three words to describe Ruby as soft, vintage, and bright. I am pretty sure that #3 is false. If it's not I am so jealous.

    ReplyDelete
  162. the circumference of the earth is 24500+ miles depending on where it is measured

    so there are 5280 feet or 1760 yards per mile

    so that would mean 86,240,000 yards

    Where would they store it?

    so #3 is wrong!

    ReplyDelete
  163. I would have to say number 3 is false as I know Camille is a big Dr. Pepper fan like me and I believe I have read in the past they have the same birthdays. Hopefully I got my info right!

    ReplyDelete
  164. #3 is the lie. I LOVE Ruby. I can't wait to get some!

    ReplyDelete
  165. I will say 3! I love Camilles work, the colors are so calm...

    ReplyDelete
  166. While I'm sure Bonnie and Camille have a lot of fabric between them, #3 cannot be true!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  167. I love Bonnie and Camille's fabrics. # 3 is false.

    ReplyDelete
  168. I think # 3 is incorrect as well. I know they share a birthday.

    ReplyDelete
  169. What a fabulous giveaway!

    I'm guessing that the third statement is false!

    ReplyDelete
  179. I'd have to say no.3 is the false one....I just love Ruby and the story behind the making of it makes it even more special.Thanks for sharing the memories :) Barb.

    ReplyDelete
  180. I believe number three is the false statement. Love RUBY!
