ReplyDeleteWow I just love those butterflies. Definitely a spring print!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a generous giveaway - six yards of fabric that scream spring. Thank you so much and thanks for your blog, Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a generous giveaway! Such fresh and fabulous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI've never worked with voile and would love to start!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all the four seasons, and crafting during all four seasons too. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck everyone :-)
ReplyDeleteButterfly in deeps tones, love it.
ReplyDeleteSpring: freshness, new beginnings, color, birdsong, sun & showers. Thank you for your generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSpring means I can use lighter fabrics both in weight and color for sewing garments. I also like to use more vivid colors, such as cobalt blue with purple undertones, to match spring flowers like my beloved Texas Bluebonnets popping up everywhere.
ReplyDeleteSpring sewing always gets me out of the winter doldrums. I tend to dress in black so the spring colors liven up my attitude.
ReplyDeleteThanks to Sew Daily I now know this blog exists! The voile fabrics are lovely and perfect for comfortable, feminine summer wear.
ReplyDeleteSpring is a time to pull out old things and give them a good airing!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely fabric! The butterflies are early this year, and as a life-long love of butterflies (and caterpillars), this makes me happy. With spring in full swing, I am putting away my unfinished winter garments and looking forward to starting some summer clothes in bright cheerful colors and cool fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love warm weather and to me spring is the coming of warm weather. My garden awakens. The colorful birds return. I feel less tired and grumpy. I can't wait to get outside and enjoy the days.
ReplyDeleteSpring brings change and new sewing projects to wear and to decorate my house! Joy
ReplyDeleteSpring is a wonderful time of renewing, refreshing and rejuvenation! Rowan and FreeSpirit have capture this in their beautiful new fabrics! This is an awesome time to redo the patio cushions, or make a beautiful table runner! I would love to be given that chance with the new fabrics you are giving away.
ReplyDeleteI love Spring because the geese are flying back to spend the season with us. The leaves start budding on the trees and everything starts to look so fresh!
ReplyDeleteSpring brings change and new sewing projects to wear and to decorate my home! Joy
ReplyDeleteSpring means knitting on my patio - sewing with my studio curtains wide open and fresh spring breezes and smells blowing through my windows! I love Spring and the energy and beauty it brings!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, spring. Color abounds, people are happy, the sewing room has great natural light filling up the space. I'm thinking of some new light blouse options to wear with skinny jeans, under a cropped blazer. Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteSpring in Seward, Alaska means SNOW! We've been shoveling out from under almost 100 inches this winter and it's not over yet. The good news is shoveling warms you up fast so to cool down when I finish, I slip into a newly sewn flirty spring dress and make a drink with at least one umbrella in it, all while watching new snow fly right outside my window!
ReplyDeleteI am new to sewing, it is my latest crafting passion, so to me, everything is like springtime. New and fresh. But as the flowers begin to emerge and the sun starts to shine and feel a little warmer, I am excited to try new patterns and fabrics. To date, since starting my sewing journey, I have made an apron, bathmat and 2 handbags for my daughter and niece. Currently I am working on another apron. Thankfully my husband sews and has given me some great tips!
ReplyDeleteSpring is time for new life. Flowers are in bloom, the farms surrounding us are alive with calves, colts, & kids.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting in my studio in Colorado and watching it snow... I much prefer the beautiful butterfly fabric!! A quick project would be a table runner, but I think it could be a skirt, too. Thanks for the pick-me-up!
ReplyDeleteSpring is a time of renewal. Clean out the the old and bring in the new. The farms surrounding us are teaming with new life - calves, colts, and kids are playing in the pastures. Flowers are in bloom. The earth is renewing.
ReplyDeleteI love sewing in the spring. You get to use bright fabrics with different prints that pop. I love bright colors. You can use them for clothing or home dec projects to brighten up a room.
ReplyDeleteI have been getting motivated to make a skirt for my daughter now that spring is coming. I bought the fabric a year ago!
ReplyDeleteWhat great colors.
ReplyDeleteThe spring fabrics are great--especially as I look out my window and it is snowing
ReplyDeleteI love using bright colors for my sewing projects in the Spring time. I love the bold colors that are out and fun designs.
ReplyDeleteSpring means birthdays in our family, so I am usually busy making quilts and toys for the grandchildren, and new items for my etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteLove the new butterfly prints. I love working with bright fabrics in the spring.
ReplyDeleteSpring means I open windows both in reality and in my mind...blow out darks and mushy and return to crisp edges with a whiff of florals. Works for both home and sewing! Try it!
ReplyDeleteSpring to me has always been a time for newness and rebirth. Fresh ideas and a time to awaken the creative spirit. The lovely fabrics in this collection are the epitome of this to me. Bold, bright colors and symbols of rebirth, how completely perfect.
ReplyDeleteI can see so many projects from this fabric my head is spinning.
SPRING is a my time to REFRESH and RENEW for the year! It means sewing colorful skirts and cool blousy shirts! Sundress with patterns and florals are a must! I BLOOM LIKE A FLOWER with my SEWING MACHINE. Each garmet is like a petal on a flower! HAPPY SEWING!

riSpring is definitely ahead of schedule in Iowa! I picked two bouquets of daffodils this morning! It is great to see the yard awaken with spring surprises. I am trying to be convinced to do some raking...but is it too early? The tulips are really growing and I see some of the new bulbs I planted last fall sending out shoots for spring. All this new fabric makes me want to get busy on another quilt...I have made 5 large ones this past year plus several wall hangings etc. and now I am learning to do machine embroidery...a surprise gift from my husband! Love all things from FreeSpirit fabric. Great to see some new things but fun to see the reprints! Happy day to all, jodisews@iowatelecom.net
ReplyDeleteTo me, spring is a time of renewing, a fresh start to living after a cold and dreary winter. I love to hear the birds chirping and the bees buzzing!
ReplyDeleteI am ready to begin new sewing projects and would love to win some beautiful fabric!

Spring to me is rebirth. Plants and animals are all celebrating new birth and so should our wardrobes. At least one new outfit for my own rebirth.
ReplyDeleteTo me, spring is a time of renewal. Where I come out of the darkness of winter and bloom to new heights as I refocus on the crafts that I love.
ReplyDeleteSo darling! I am seeing scarves and tanks with all of those prints!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Spring means fun colors and light fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing scarves and light weight tanks in those prints! So darling!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt about it, Spring means FLOWERS. It also means new life (all kinds of animals have babies this time of year), new start (spring cleaning), and for many a deep religious renewal.
ReplyDeleteOh my, love the entire collection!
ReplyDeleteLove the butterflies

ReplyDeletePreviously posted comment didn't take -- Spring is a great time to look around my space, and decide what I need to change to freshen it up. Also, incidentally, a great time to discover a new fabric. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the beautful colors in the materials showcased here. I am new again to sewing and this time around I will be adding more color to my designs/projects.
ReplyDeleteRosemarie NJ
To me spring means azalea blooms, and lower utility bills, right on!
ReplyDeleteSpring is always a remembrance of life and new beginnings! What a beautiful new line to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteSpring is a time to renew, refresh and redo!
ReplyDeleteOur unseasonably warm weather has me dreaming of floaty spring blouses covered in butterflies! I'm especially taken with the bittersweet swatch...
ReplyDeleteMy grand-daughter and I love anything with butterflies! Love your new fabrics!
ReplyDeleteNature is in full bloom and the weather is warmer
ReplyDeleteI love voile! It seems like it is getting harder and harder find, much like rayon challis. Congrats to Valori on a beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics have me wanting to make a beautiful new spring bag for myself!
ReplyDeleteSpring means daffodils and fresh colors to me. And then tulips.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love spring and love Valorie's fabrics.
ReplyDeleteSpring: the lovely color of daffodils, the fragrance of hyacinth, the burst of magnolias and the excitement of new fabrics and promise of projects.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely fabrics! I'm thinking I'd like to make a runner to freshen up my home for Spring. thekomars@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of Spring -- something so fresh about it.
ReplyDelete(wrybbunz@gmail.com)
Spring is our mud season in the mountains. That means there is less to do outside so I catch up on all my crafting projects.
ReplyDeleteSpring is nature awakens a new beginning, and we get Spring fever from the beautiful fabrics and great give away from Free Spirit fabrics.
ReplyDeletethe Nectar Butterflies fabric is just beautiful! Might be time to freshen my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors and patterns. Would be great for a spring project.
ReplyDeleteSpring is a time for new beginnings. Break out of that old cocoon and fly free...
ReplyDeleteThe fresh colors and butterflies really rejuvenate my spirit. Can't wait to see them in person!
ReplyDeleteThe oncoming of Spring allows me to re-look at my fabric stash and see what needs added. Like some new Freespirit fabrics! :O)

ReplyDeleteWould love to make a table runner with some of the Spring Time Giveaway fabric. Beautiful fabric!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the longer days to have more light in my sewing room! I'll be making dresses for me and my little girls soon.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so pretty... and I love the idea of the re-release of Gypsy Caravan and others.... Love Spring, glad to have it here!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite time of year, but Spring is second!
ReplyDeletesimply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of Spring -- so fresh!
ReplyDelete(wrybbunz@gmail.com)
Oh, golly, spring has sprung! I love these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteFor me spring means bright happy colors are starting to come back to life everywhere, from the bulbs peaking through the dirt(my favorite are muscari) to the red breast of the robin. All great inspiration for crafting and sewing after a long dark/cold winter up here in Northern Ontario!
ReplyDeleteI love most all seasons , but spring is the best with the birds singing, the flowers blooming and the trees budding out.The wonderful glory of God shining all over the place. My favorite fabric so far is Cocoon. Thanks .
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the colors on this fabric. Just looking at a fabric can flood your brain with millions of lovely thoughts about a specific person in your life. I think spring is so amazing because it's the time when you finally realize that the holiday season has been over for about three months now and it's finally time to stop avoiding present-making and get back into it! The people you love and care about are popping into my head everyday, along with things I could make for them with the beautiful fabrics I collect. Spring is a time for skirts and kisses!
ReplyDeleteI love spring as nature comes to life and it is wonderful to watch and be part of the transformation:)X Ylva
ReplyDeleteOMG! Valori Wells -- FreeSpirit -- blue butterflies - it just doesn't get any better! I've just discovered her voiles and I'm in love with the patterns, and most of all, the fabric! It's like cotton silk, and washes like a dream. I'm sewing a number of dresses for my year-old grand daughter for the summer since it's just perfect for New Orleans weather (where she lives). I am absolutely a fan of her collections and FreeSpirit fabrics, and really hope to try out their whole fabric line.
ReplyDeleteNicole R
Well today, spring means snow, again. Which includes staying inside to sew because it's too frozen outside to plant the garden :)
ReplyDeleteLooking for the pink plumeria below my lani to start blooming, adding bright color and subtle perfume to the air. It inspires a fresh, colorful look in my quilting projects.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love these vibrant fabrics? So "Springy"!
ReplyDeleteSpring means fresh, vibrant colors to bring a smile that has been hidden in the depths of winter wind and cold.
ReplyDeleteSpring green! and the little red tips of maples! and yellow daffodils! and blue sky! Oh, my!
ReplyDeleteI love FreeSpirit fabric - I have quite a bit of it in my stash. Your designs are fresh and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love butterflies on anything but this print is just beautiful! Stunning colours.
ReplyDeleteThese fabrics are absolutely stunning!! I can see lots of projects made from each one. I hope I win!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSpring brings a renewal of my spirits. Winter is my least favorite season and I never feel really well during the dark dreary days. When Spring comes around, I feel as if I can breathe in all the sunshine to fill my body and soul.
ReplyDeleteSpring just renews my body and soul after a long, dreary winter. The sounds of spring are music to me. I love sitting on the back porch and listening to the birds. There's no better place to be.
ReplyDeleteSpring always means new beginnings and a fresh start. It is an inspiring time that rejuvenates your creativity.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeletespring is here, my cherry trees are blooming! the hawks are mating and the sun is brighter after the rain and the air smells great. more sunlight to quilt by. So happy for spring is here! Linda
ReplyDeleteI love that spring is sneaking in. It brings more daylight, which only makes the fabric colors look that much better. I would love to be a giveaway winner.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the riot of flower colors and seeing the green start to peep out on the tree branches.
ReplyDeletei'M NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK GIVING YOU MY NAME Linda Lyon
ReplyDeleteSpring is not my favorite time of year because of thunderstorms....one is due tonight....yuck. Spring everything else is wonderful. I'm a fall person.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! Even if new fabric isn't coming our way, there is probably something "spring-y" that we can each unearth from our own personal stash...
ReplyDeleteSpring is one of my two favorite seasons, with Summer being second. All the newness and colors - so much green and blooms. It is uplifting and smile-inducing. All the birds returning from their winter homes are a real treat, too. So refreshing after the gray skies and absolute saturation of a Seattle winter!
ReplyDeleteBetsy
Todas borboletas são lindas e tem tudo a ver com a primavera.Pudera eu fazer uma linda colcha para minha cama e fazer algumas almofadas com sólidos combinando...como não posso,só me resta admirá-los.beijos.
ReplyDeleteIrresistible colour combinations in the Cacoon series, especially the bits of green that burst forth on new growth, make me yearn for a new tablecloth to bring that spring indoors, even before it graces my garden.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful as well as fun. Spring is a time of rebirth and newn opportunities for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteButterflies are a favorite of mine. Lovely fabric. Kathie L in Allentown
ReplyDeleteA time for new inspirations and dazzling colors.
ReplyDeleteAlthough she is gone now, my mother loved butterflies. In spring I wait for butterflies and am reminded of her. These butterflies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSpring means renewal to me. I'd love to win some of that Cocoon voile, and come out of my cocoon with a new sewing project!
ReplyDeleteSpring starts early for us Floridians but one of my first and fav tasks for Springs is freshing up my garden. All the beautiful spring color is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteA time of renewal and inspiration.
ReplyDelete*sigh* I love cocoon, and to have it in a voile would be dreamy!
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics. We close off much of the house during the winter to save on heating bills. So to me, spring means my sewing room is opened and I can start sewing again.
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year! New possibilities and new fabric! I am a seamstress and a sewing teacher and lost everything in a fire last year.
ReplyDeleteI love the butterflies on this fabric. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric! Spring and sewing go hand in hand. Time to air out the studio, open the windows, play with beautiful fabric and start sewing!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabric! Spring and sewing go hand in hand. Time to open the windows, air out the studio and start sewing! And with great fabric and spring weather there will be plenty of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI attempted to post earlier but I don't know if it went through so I apologize if this is duplicated. I am new to sewing so everything is like a springtime to me. I love colors, fabrics, and making things that are fun.
ReplyDeleteAs the weather warms up, I'm getting ready to abandon my heavy wool sweaters and blankets and embrace light, airy fabrics for my clothes and decor.
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are beautiful. Nice theme for a fabric collection.
ReplyDeleteLove that spring revels in new life and a fresh start!
ReplyDeleteIt is spring! the robins are acting crazy. It is time for a new dress! And a new pair of sandals! love the new fabrics.

ReplyDeleteIt is spring! the robins are acting crazy. It is time for a new dress! And a new pair of sandals! love the new fabrics.
ReplyDeleteSpring is sunshine, open windows, tulips, and lilacs.
ReplyDeleteWow! What prettiness is Cocoon! This is the first time I've heard anything about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm first!!! That never happens!! Spring is a lightening of the load...no more boots, or heavy coats, gloves, scarves and all that. Just flip flops and go. It's colour in all it's rainbow not just drab neutrals of winter! It is life flourishing not just hibernating, lush, hopeful, vocal and joyous. It's my favourite time of year.
ReplyDeleteNice fabric, especially blues. I like Spring, but I like the other seasons too.
ReplyDeleteLovely blue butterflies.....
ReplyDeleteSpring is my favorite! I'll be celebrating with FreeSpirit. I have some Tina Givens fabrics from Havens Edge that I got to make myself a quilt! I love the colors. I wish someone could tell me what solids go with it though. Not having a local fabric store is the pits!
ReplyDeletelove the cocoon collection :)
ReplyDeleteThese colors are very pretty. I can't wait to see more of your new fabric collections.
ReplyDeleteGreat Giveaway! Spring is time for renewal. Cocoon Voile is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSpring always means a fresh start to me. I always love to make a new quilt using fresh new spring fabrics !
ReplyDeleteI love spring and this year is speial! I get to start over with a new fabric stash. I lost mine in a fire last year. Thank the heavens I can start again!
ReplyDeleteOh,Spring. The days get longer and the nights shorter. The ground warms and the bulbs start poking out thier heads. Birds are returning and singing outside the window. All this just gets those creative juices flowing.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabrics! I absolutely love the colors--very fresh and springy!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics! They are beautiful and springy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric!Spring means warm sunshine and cool breezes,bird song in the morning and spring peepers at night.
ReplyDeleteSring to me is when new life appears and emerges from under the cold dark and wet winter. I love seeing tiny buds and little leaves pushing out on the trees, and blossoms blooming. I love the cold mornings giving way to warm afternoons. I love all the baby animals and birds flitting around. I love most of all the teenie tiny little flowers that are probably just weeds but they apear in the new grass.. and you have to lean down to see them. I love getting out my summer clothes all light and airy.
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics simply celebrate Spring!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty fabric! I'm a purple and teal person so I especially like PWVW043.Stone. I love the smell of honeysuckle and wildflowers we started smelling the past week and am so happy to be coming out of this mild winter a little early. Happy 1st day of Spring!
ReplyDeleteSpring usually means cleaning out the flower beds, getting the mowers and weedeaters ready for use, and hay fever. But in my sewing room, spring means cotton, and linen, and bright colors and prints, capris and flirty skirts, shorts and maybe a tank top or two. Or, perhaps, some new pillows with those flowery bits and pieces that have been in the fabric drawer waiting for the perfect project.
ReplyDeleteHumm, I don't know what happened to my first post, and I really want to be in the pool of entries, so I'll try again! Spring at it's finest!! Valori Wells + Free Spirit voile + the wonderful spring blues and greens = a winner! I've fallen in love with Valori's voiles, in fact I'm presently making summer dresses for my year-old granddaughter with some of her other voile collections. The fabric is like silk - and washes like a dream. I would love to sew up her linens and other cottons in this luscious spring collection. Please enter me in the give away!!
ReplyDeleteI'll take a shot. The voiles are luscious—and perfect for warm weather projects.
ReplyDeleteI love anything with butterflies!

ReplyDeleteSpring is the time when that delicate green appears, gentle brezzes and the the sounds of millions of sneezes.

ReplyDeleteThe butterfly material is definitely spring!! I love the material!! It is very uplifting to brighten any day.
ReplyDeleteI love Spring (Winter is my fave). I will love it more when the Pine pollen lets up. I'm excited to get seeds started and seeing the first blooms in my yard. Beautiful mix of lavender Red Bud trees, White Dogwood and bright pink and white Azaleas.
ReplyDeleteI love spring and the new life and colors show up this time of the year. Love the butterfly fabric.
ReplyDeleteThese are very beautiful fabrics. They are very whimsical.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics line! Spring spirit!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely line! so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteSpring is - longer days. More time to sew. Daylight savings. More time to create. Dafodils to inspire. Lambs in the paddocks springing around. Out with the black, in with the colour. Yahoo! Sadly, we're heading into Autumn here in the land down under. Today the wind is blowing while the sun is shining. Ah well, roll on Spring.
ReplyDeletei love spring because it celebrates new life!
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are gorgeous!
Just fabulous fabric, I've always Liked Amy Butlers materials & patterns.
ReplyDeleteSpring is my favourite season - brisk mornings, temperate sunny days. Flowers blooming. What's not to like.

Perfect for spring projects!
