Designer Select: Aneela Hoey



Sew Stitchy by Aneela Hoey is one of those collections that you just can't pass up. The sweet sewing and embroidery motifs are perfect for almost any project. Aneela chose 12 prints and 3 coordinating Bella solids to create her very own Designer Select Bundle featuring Sew Stitchy and she is here today to chat about it!


Q: What inspired you to pick the colors and designs in your Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle?
A: I have a mini quilt hanging in my kitchen of a rain cloud made up from hexagons that I made a couple of years ago. I really love the colour combination of the hexagons so I used that as my starting point for this collection. It is quite apt now that I think about it as the collection has a hexagon print too! The colours in the select bundle are simply my favourites from the group that work best together.


Q: What are 3 words you would choose to describe this collection, not including any of the fabric designs!
A: Stitchy, intricate, multi-directional

*2 Truths and a Lie*
1.The prints were inspired by the illustrations I did for my book 'Little Stitches'.
2. I tossed my pins to draw them for a realistic look in my Pins print.
3.The fabric Sew Stitchy is printed on is much softer than any of my previous lines.

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 Aneela Hoey’s Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle!

You have exactly one week from the today, 9/12/12.
Good Luck!

  27. #3! christina112358 at gmail dot com

    ReplyDelete
  28. I think number 3 is false. I toss pins once in a while, just not on purpose. Ever drop a magnetic pin holder? The pins scatter so nicely.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think all the fabrics are equally soft, so I'm thinking number 3 is False!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think the #2 comment is the false comment.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think #3 is false, Moda always has such nice fabric.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm guessing #3. Moda's fabric is always so soft and wonderful---how could it be any better?

    ReplyDelete
  35. This one is hard! I follow Aneela's blog so I know 1 is true. I ordered the pin prints in all colors but haven't received them yet, so I'm guessing 3. Thanks and I love all her lines!

    ReplyDelete
  36. My guess is #3 is false. Love Aneela Hoey's designs.

    ReplyDelete

  41. I think 2 is false...

    brookeali(at)hotmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think 3 is false. Only because I have a hard time believing Moda can get any softer!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I am guessing #2. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think #3 is false since the fabric is Moda!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I believe it's 3 since i can totally see the inspiration from the book and tossing the pins sounds like something I would do! And from what I've seen, Moda fabric is already super soft and lovely...therefore it must be 3!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm guessing #3 is false - I think all of her fabrics are wonderfully soft. Thanks for a chance at this fabulous fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  48. number 1 is false. Love that they are multi-directional and those cute colors!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I guess it would be number 1 .. I think its creative to throw the pins for a realistic look.. and I wouldnt imagine she would short change herself by #3 which I suspect and look forward to being true! Love her stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I guess #3, all the fabric Aneela uses is soft!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think #2 is false! Love this new line, thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think all the fabric has been quality, so, I'm saying #3 is a lie.

    ReplyDelete

  63. Hmmmm....tricky, but I'm going to guess that #3 is false! Hope that's right...this is a super bundle!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think that false is #3. After looking at her fabrics and seeing a few of the pages from her book, I think the first two would be true. And Moda fabric is soft.
    What a beautiful color palette- would go perfectly to make a snugglie quilt for my basement sewing room which is pale blue and chilly!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think #3 has to be false!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think its No 3 because all Aneela's prints are on super soft fabric !

    ReplyDelete
  67. I think #2 is false! Thanks for the chance to win :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think #3 is false because all Moda fabrics feel deliciously soft.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Since she said she was inspired by a mini quilt in her kitchen, I,m guessing #1 is false.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I think number 3 is false.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Just a guess....but I think #1 is the fib!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I guess #2, because picking up spilled pins is not fun if there is no magnet.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I'm going with number 3 - the other fabrics I have from Aneela's lines are already so soft, I can't imagine anything softer! ;) Thanks for the chance!
