Bursting florals, colorful graphic prints and bold textures make up the latest collection from the Art Gallery Fabrics In-House Designers. Floressence has us wanting to take a stroll down a garden path, lay out a picnic and get lost in the smell of flowers. The Art Gallery Designers are here to chat about Floressence, and we are giving two bundles away!
Q: What inspired this collection?
A: The inspiration for this collection was cottage gardens with an overabundance of vibrant florals. The textures are also garden inspired, incorporating fences, cobblestones and such. It's an incredibly inspired collection!
Q: What is your favorite project using this collection?
A: The "Aromatic" Free Quilt Pattern is really our love right now. This pattern is really fun and plays off the romantic florals in the collection. When placed over AG Pure Elements solids "White Linen" it just comes to life.
Q: What would be your collection’s theme song?
A: This collection speaks simple beauty to us. It is very girly and romantic and the song that we hear is Anchor by Mindy Gledhill.
Q: If you could live in a movie, what movie would it be?
A: We are all movie freaks over here, so this is a tough question. Thinking about it we think Casablanca is a perfect fit. The romance and style fits right in with Floressence.
Q: What do you get nostalgic over?
A: Classic songs & movies really get to us. Songs from Etta James, Nina Simone, Peggy Lee and old movies like Giant and The Sound of Music.
Q: What is your favorite TV show of all time?
A: Once Upon A Time is really one our favorites right now. We love the whole story line and we think the whimsy of it crept into Floressence.
Q: If you could be a modern day fictional character, who would you be?
A: A modern version of Snow White.
Q: What’s the strangest compliment you’ve ever received?
A: Someone once told one of our In-House designers that she spoke beautifully. This was the oddest and most interesting comment she have ever gotten. She thought it was odd because who really notices that but at the same time she thought it was the sweetest thing ever because who really notices that.
We giving away a bundle of Mint Floressence and a bundle of Sweet Floressence to two lucky readers! Comment below letting us know which color way you prefer to a chance to win! Update, What's For Dessert won a bundle of Mint Floressence and Kelli won a bundle of Sweet Floressence. Thanks for playing!







they are both absolutely gorgeous, but I think I like sweet a little bit more! Ty for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWow such gorgeous fabrics! How do you choose??? I love them both, but probably would use the blue more (Mint?) Thanks so much for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThey are just gorgeous. Remind me of summer with their cheerful colors and beautiful florals... I would definitely choose the "Sweet". thanks for the chance to try to win.
ReplyDeleteGreer
The mint is so calming- the perfect blend of pretty, calming colors and patterns, and yet not too frilly- though that means my husband would probably "not notice" the florals and steal my quilt if I were to make one out of it!
ReplyDeleteI prefer Sweet Floressence. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I think mint has a more cottagey (is that a word?) feel. Perfect for a quilt I want to make for my sister who likes blues. Thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteThese really are quite inspired (and beautiful!!). Can I have both? jk! If I had to pick one, it would be Sweet.

ReplyDeleteI don't always enter contests but I love this collection. For some reason I am into English florals or maybe I always was and just didn't realize it. I like the big blue rose floral but both collections are gorgeous. I don't think there is anything I couldn't do with these fabrics! YUM!
