I have nothing in common with Amy, except that I love her fabrics. I would love to feed her new fabric collection, Bright Heart, through my sewing machine and see what I can create.

My alter ego is called Chantal Desiree and she can sing, dance, create her own clothes to couture standard and ONLY DATES MEN YOUNGER than herself.
I have a crazy smeller myself. I can always sniff something out and no one else smells it.
I don't collect rocks but, I do collect vials of sand from every beach that I have stepped my foot upon.
Number 5: Need good music to get work done.
Great to hear about your shamanic healing power Amy! I'm holistic architect in Europe and love your fabrics! I started with shamanic practice in the age of 20. Great adventure! :-)
I love music and I played organized sports- soccer growing up.
I collect beach rocks also , and then I make door mats out of them!
My husband tells me I can smell things that no one else can smell. Love your fabrics!!!!
Besides the fact that I love Amy's fabric I also collect rocks petrified wood to be exact my sister and I discovered a petrified forest on one of our hikes in Oregon ,we have tons of chrystals and Amber along with amethyst and many other stones and rocks
I too love to collect rocks. My parents were glad to get those out of their house once I had a house of my own! Really, who doesn't appreciate a prime example of dogtooth calcite?!
The acute olfactory gift comes to me only in pregnancy. I find scent to be a very personal thing and cannot bring myself to purchase perfume, candles, etc., for others as I usually don't like what others do.
Seems I don't have much in common with Amy even though I love her style! I do have a music collection of sorts, gotta have some tunes <3
I too have a keen sense of smell that drives my husband a bit crazy - I think because he has no sense of smell! The new collection from Amy certainly gets my creative senses hopping!!
I also played organized sports when I was 8. there was not too many girls playing little league baseball at that time but moved on to softball as I got older. and I love to play volleyball as well!
I love volleyball and played from junior high to high school and spent every summer at multiple volleyball camps!
I would love to try IntenSati. Sounds awesome. I love kickboxing
Love all of this! I also collect Rocks from everywhere and working all over the world..currently just brought home some from Kenya. I have also instilled this in my 9 year old who has an uncanny knack for finding rocks shaped like hearts so now we have two collections :)
Music collection! My iTunes library includes hundreds of titles that I love and which hold so much meaning, including:
"Moon River" - Audrey Hepburn
"Boots of Spanish Leather" - Bob Dylan
"Little Sparrow" - Dolly Parton
"One Irish Rover" and "Brown-Eyed Girl" - Van Morrison
"Isn't it a Shame" - Patti LaBelle
"I'd Rather Go Blind" - Etta James
"Little Girl Blue" - Janis Joplin
"The Promise" - Tracy Chapman
"Un Bel Di" - Zhang Liping
Okay...I have to stop; I want to list every single song! There are happy songs, too...
I am also an audiophile, and I take it as my personal mission to educate my children to become audiophiles, too!!
I have a huge music collection (over 300 recordings on vinyl alone)! Music is and always has been a big part of my life.
I am also a daughter of the american revolution. Parts of my family go back ages!
Hi Amy I am from Australia. I have strong sense of smell and can pick up on things waaaay before other people. I just love your fabrics and love using them to create magical little numbers for magical little people:)
I am not sure if it went through but I enjoy collecting and learning about ro ks with my kids. Also love Latin dancing. Wish I were better at it.
I have been a fan of Amy's fabric when I started working in a quilt shop at the age of 17, that was 9 years ago! It's fun to hear about her "non-quilting" life hobbies! I also very much enjoy using essential oils!
I wish I had lots of things in common with Amy but sadly aside form recently starting to practice yoga there is nothing! But I have been a big fan of her fabric designs since Charm many years ago!
I also have a crazy sensitive nose. I can smell things others can't. Also, I love your fabrics. :)
Amy and I share the acute smelling nose but I'm afraid nothing more than that. Although all her eclectic traits are fascinating. I adore her latest collection. It's my favourite so far!
Hi Amy, you are the designer who first got me interested in quilting and fabric design waay back in 2006! I love your sense of colour, generosity of spirit and beautiful work :-) We have at least three things in common, I too, loooove music and always need to listen to something whilst working; I also have fantasised about being a latin dancer!; and my sense of smell is quite sensitive--so my partner tells me often!
I collect rocks for a friend who makes jewelry from them; I managed to get my grandson interested in rocks also. Other than that, just my love of fabric!
While not much in common, I do love learning unexpected things about creative spirits. Inspirations come from everywhere.
How fun to learn more about one of my favorite designers! I am also a massive music lover (I have a degree in music and am a flautist) and have an extremely large and varied music collection! iwuflutegurl (at) gmail (dot) com
Well Rocks and I go way back...always dropping a couple interesting rocks into my purse! LOL that's quite the conncection!!!!
I also have a crazy sense of smell, which makes me a food snob too. It has to smell great and taste great! Oh, to be a fly girl, I envy their moves. ..
I enjoy working out!
I really have nothing in common with Amy - except a love of beautiful colors and patterns. I love to quilt!
i also played volleyball...until my early 30s!
I am a rock collector too...heart rocks...from my travels over the world too!
Other than quilting the only thing I have in common with Amy is my dream to one day be a fly gir. I love to dance!

I also have a really strong sense of of smell... which I have to say is not always a good thing!
I had never heard of IntenSati before and I checked it out online. I wish that there was a class near me!
I collected rocks til I got married. My future husband said they were to heavy to move, so they went into my landlady's flower garden.
Maybe I have the workout thing in common with Amy. I also train with a bodybuilder.
I love having music on all the time. I was in choir from 2nd grade all the way through high school.
Rocks rock!
I collect rocks also as I put them around my many colorful flower beds; I especially like collecting the crystal quartz rocks that sparkle in the sunlight.
I have been "collecting" rocks since my early days on my dad's farm and later as a partner in a farming operation. This type of rock collecting is not for the faint of heart! I love Amy's fabrics and would love to win some of it. Thank you!
I played tennis from the time I was about 4 through high school and I ADORE fragrances and would love to mix my own! Diptyque is my favorite brand right now, I love their 34- so sumptuous! I would also love to win some of this fantastic new collectionAmy has designed!
I have 2 things in common; I'm female and love fabric!
It also have a very keen sense of smell which isn't always a good thing, lol. Love her fabric and her style!
I love colour and love to sew. Played basketball in high school

I have a couple of things in common with Amy. I have loved playing organized sports from childhood and played soccer into my thirties. I also trained at one point with a professional body builder and continue to this day to weight train (hooked on keeping strong and seeing what my body is capable of). I have an acute sense of smell and have been using essential oils for 20 years.
Thanks for sharing, Amy!
I have nothing in common with Amy but I love her fabrics!!
I have a few things in common! I collect rocks, too, but from different places I've paddled my kayak to. I also have a highly sensitive smeller, and play around with mixing and making my own bath and body products. When I was younger, I was very much into fitness, but now that I'm old, I'm just satisfied with being very active. What a great give away!
I work out with a trainer and just realized that I have been doing it for five years. I don't look like a body builder but worry what I would look like if I didn't work out at all!
I love the name of this new fabric line, Bright Heart. I feel like the line not only represents Amy's bright heart, but it speaks to me as well. I have been working out with a personal trainer to make my body stronger. I like that Amy takes great care of her mind and body. It's essential to living a good, creative life!
I have a alter ego that cusses some times and I love to collect weird cool rocks.
I have absolutely nothing in common with Amy Butler except that I love, love, love her fabric collection!
First I love Amy Butler fabrics so would love to win this. I am a huge audiophile, collecting tons of CDs, mostly classical, jazz, broadway musicals, 1970s singer songwriter, Christmas, and of course the Beatles! (I have also made a Beatles quilt, with blocks representing 57 of their songs!) I collect bells instead of rocks, and thousands of books. I hope to become more fit - I'm now counting my steps with a FitBit zip. Maybe yoga in the future!
I am a geologist, and my name is amie... so we both like rocks and textiles...what are the odds :-) LOVE her colors and patterns, thanks for the contest.
I too find rocks irrestible and have quite a collection. I love music too, but content myself with online streaming services rather than collecting it. And I hope to have Intensati in common with Amy in the near future. It sounds great and I'm going to investigate. And of course, I love love love Amy Butler fabric!
Well, other than we both like fabrics, I don't see anything on that list. But at least we both like fabrics!
The only thing I have in common with her is I love music. I wish I could workout like she does. An amazing, busy woman. Love her fabric collections.
The closest I can come is that my daughter played volleyball and I love watching the games. Also, I live next door to a personal trainer. But, I love her fabrics and that is what counts right??
Well, I have a pretty good ' nose' myself, have played different organized sports and yep: tons of music can be found in my house as well. Thanks for sharing some new-to-me a Amy facts!
I also have an acute sense of smell. Most of the time it's a good thing but at other times it's not so great. Another thing that is slightly in common is that while she collects rocks I collect sea glass.
I love color,in my home using what I create.I am peaceful spirit, I love nature, life and fabric and most 0f all animals. I make colorful kitty nip pouches from my dried cat nip in my garden. I am passionate about life, just like you Amy.
I could probably be in DAR myself, just have never checked. Would love to win some of her lovely fabrics!
I like collecting rocks too!!! I love Amy butler's fabric - all of it!!
I, like Amy, love yoga and connecting with my body and spirit through movement.
I'm a DAR too! (Totally forgot about that part of my past until I read this fun fact about Amy.)
I have a heart rock collection with heart shaped rocks from various beaches all over the world.
I love to travel.
I love color.
I love Amy Butler! Her sweet spirit and her creativity are an inspiration.
I have a sensitive sniffer too, especially when I was pregnant! I still have it though, my husband tells me it could be my super power. I love Amy Butler fabrics to much and her patterns too! I have the honeybun pouf sitting in my living room! Thanks for the chance to win awesome fabric! cherisetoweratyahoodotca
I share Amy's acute sense of smell and love of essential oils. I use oils to energize, relax, you name it!
I like to dance too, but only to upbeat rock and roll.
But I really like her fabrics, so presumably we also have that in common!
I don't think I can heal other people but I am what is sometimes called--a healer. Cuts heal fast, etc. Some people just are, you know.
Thanks for the great giveaway. What a wonderful prize.
Like Amy...I take small rocks and shells from beaches I visit. I
love Amy's fabric and collect that as well and would love to win some!
Like Amy I workout with a trainer twice a week, it keeps me quite strong and balanced for an old girl. I love fabric and color and making quilts for Quilts for Kids. I make at lease one a month so it helps me move through my stash(which doesn't seem to diminish?) I am addicted to fabric.
I don't collect rocks, but i have lots of them around my house that my kids have collected over the years! I am just getting back into sewing after a long break and would love to add to my rather sparse collection.
I have a keen sense of smell as well which is awesome for somethings but horrid when you are around smelly people:)
I am also a Daughter of the American Revolution. My family in America goes back to the 1600s. My house also dates back to the colonial times. I love carrying on the family tradition of sewing and quilt making and I love your fabrics!
I think I have more in common with Amy's alter ego than Amy herself. Lazy, tone deaf allergy sufferer here! Also Canadian :)
I like Amy Butlers fabrics but I also have a great collection of music.
Susan
I collect heart shaped rocks when I travel. I also love to visit quilt shops when I travel to find fabric I just have to add to my stash.
I am pleased to share "Daughter of the American Revolution" with Amy.
I am married to an audiophile...does that count? I just like my music with a heavy bass. I don't collect rocks...I collect Fabric when I travel. I dream of what it will become and later I can remember the great trip we had :)
