Designer Select: Kate & Birdie Paper Co.
Gloria of Kate & Birdie Paper Co. has captured the beauty of long, Canadian Winters with Winter's Lane, her debut collection for Moda Fabrics. Use this elegant collection in quilts and projects to decorate your home when temperatures drop. Get a well-curated taste of the full collection with Kate & Birdie's Designer Select Bundle. Gloria is here to tell you all about the bundle, so keep reading for more information and a chance to win!
Q: Tell us about your inspiration for Winter's Lane? How did you pick the prints to include in your Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle?
A: This collection is completely nature-inspired, particularly by our long, grey Canadian winters. I love the wooly greys and whites of the Canadian prairies, the warmth of stacked wood piles and tall evergreen forests, the icy blues and the pops of bright red in winterberries and cardinals. I wanted to create a winter collection that wasn’t only fitting for holiday, but a line that can be used for quilts, blankets and pillows that feel cozy all winter long. I chose pieces from the collection that really embodied this winter theme for the bundle.
Q: What are 3 words you would choose to describe this collection?
A:
1. Woodland
2. Cozy
3. Wooly
*2 Truths and a Lie*
1. When it comes to textiles, I love neutrals most.
2. I attended school for textile design.
3. I collect vintage little golden books.
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 Kate & Birdie's Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle! Contest closes July 9, 2013.
Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteMy guess would be number two for these beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the chance To win!
ReplyDeleteI think #2 is the lie!
ReplyDeleteI also choose #2 - but it is not because I don't think these fabrics aren't worthy of a formal education -just some people are so very, very talented they can skip textile school. :->

ReplyDeleteI think #2 is the lie. Thanks for a chance to win this beautiful fabric!
ReplyDeletethe line is cozy and wooly at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess #2
I'm gonna say #2 because Gloria has a paper company ( nice papers too) and if she went to a design school for textiles I think she would have had a textile company instead. But not everything goes down the path we thought LOL :)
ReplyDelete#2 seems to be a lie. Nevertheless, this is fabulous fabric. I love the birds! Thanks for the chance to win.

ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous fabric thanks for the chance to win :-D
ReplyDeleteMy guess is #2
#2 is the lie - but I "cheated" by reading the Kate & Birdie about us! "Self-taught artist" implies no formal education, and as a (former) homeschooling mom and high school drop-out with a unique education and career stream of my own, I warmly appreciate self-taught anything!
ReplyDeleteI will guess #2 also. I love the idea of collecting Little Golden books, so I hope that is true! Lovely fabric designs! bcbeck@insightbb.com
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree that #2 is the lie. Fingers are crossed. This is by far, my favorite collection of anything that I have seen in the past year.

ReplyDeleteI've loved this line from the first "teaser" that FQS displayed. I'm going to guess #2 is the fib.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with number 2. (I attended school for textile design.) I love the idea of a "winter" line rather than a Christmas one. Christmas is short but winter is loooong--much more opportunity to show off these beautiful fabrics
ReplyDeleteI guess #1 is false, they're very vibrant fabrics!
ReplyDelete#2 is the lie - she's a self-taught artist!
ReplyDeleteI think #2 is false. What an absolutely gorgeous fabric! Thank you for the giveaway.
