Yesterday was a beautiful day in Colorado. Today is back to the same dreary and extremely windy spring we are having (just like every other spring). But yesterday was perfect- 72 degrees, sunny and no wind! So off we went to old town in Fort Collins to photograph our new Hometown quilts. We specifically wanted to go to one of the cutest fabric stores I've ever been to. If you live in Colorado or Wyoming, you need to get to Mama Said Sew. It is totally my style- fresh, clean and simple.
Even the sign on the sidewald is super cute:
The outside and entrance of the store made the perfect backdrop for the quilts. We have 6 new patterns for hometown (plus a bag pattern we will get to next week).
The first is called Intersection:
The next is called Lighthouse:
Here is our new table runner called "City Block":
Words such as "Main Street", "Coffee Shop" and "Park" are embroidered on the borders.
The next quilt is called "The Neighborhood":
Next is our table/floor mat called "Townhouse":
Finally, my favorite. It's called "Yacht Club":
The patterns should be available in a few weeks.
Now for the contest. Just leave us a message letting us know your favorite "Hometown" quilt. The winner will receive all 6 of the new patterns. See you next week!
They are all beautiful! I think my favorite is the intersection. The quilting is awesome!

Oh, boy, Oh boy...I love intersection and Yacht Club. Hope to win those patterns and start on them right away. I am in love with contemporary quilting designs. These examples are spectacular!

I love the lighthouse pattern. I love your hometown fabric too! I've made a quilt for my sister using the hometown fabric and she totally loved it. I loved it too and almost couldn't give it to her, but I did. Lol

Yikes....love them all, but smitten with Lighthouse ( both the quilt and the name). Oh please pick me....I would be SEW excited!!!

How can you ask me to choose? I love Yacht Club.
Posted by: Lynn Wilson | Monday, April 16, 2012 at 08:06 PM
Really don't know if I can choose, but to get all six pattern--heck, yeah. I love Yacht Club! Super cute.
Posted by: Lynn Wilson | Monday, April 16, 2012 at 08:04 PM
I just entered so don't count this one, but I live in Utah and would love to just drive over those beautiful Rocky Mountains and come to Ft. Collins. Such a fun spot. Next time I'm in town I'll be stopping by.
Posted by: booklogged | Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Really? Choose just one! Can I get away with choosing two? I love Intersection and The Neighborhood - those would be the 1st ones I make.
Posted by: booklogged | Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 11:24 PM
I am having trouble deciding between lighthouse and neighborhood. I guess light house. Love the colors.
Posted by: Carol | Thursday, March 15, 2012 at 10:24 AM
I just LOVE Interseetion but must say I would like toake them all!
Posted by: Julieb@twcny.rr.com | Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 05:21 PM
Will these new patterns be available on you etsy site and when? I absolutely love the Neighborhood and the bag! I can't wait until I can order them! And how about the fabric? Will there be kits?
Please let me know - Thanks!

I'd have to say that Intersections and Yacht Club are my favourite two patterns! I hope they were well received at Quilt Market and that you manage to recover from the SLC experience soon!!
Posted by: Ange Moore | Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 12:48 AM
I love them all! How to choose? If I had to choose, it would be between Yacht Club and Intersection. The Yacht Club would be perfect for all my boys. The Intersection would be fabulous for my own quilt. Love the fabric as well. Love it!
Posted by: Misty Brown | Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 01:41 PM
LOVE these fabrics & patterns. Are they available now?
Posted by: Karee | Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 10:46 AM
I love "The Neighborhood" and omg, I can't make up my mind but I love Intersection, also. I wish I lived on the in the midwest.

They're all amazing, especially "The Neighborhood!" (That store looks awesome too.)
Posted by: Claudia | Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at 10:43 AM
I love the Neighboorhood quilt it is so cute and I've always wanted to make a quilt with cute little houses on it. :)
Posted by: Kathleen K | Monday, May 09, 2011 at 01:01 PM
Oh love them all - and especially in this fantastic fabric line :) I think I love Neighborhood most, but they're all great!
Posted by: Kate | Saturday, May 07, 2011 at 06:53 PM
Favorite is Intersection. However, how you can actually pick a favorite and have it remain so I beyond me. Love them all!
Posted by: Sandy Muir | Friday, May 06, 2011 at 03:59 PM
oh i love that little neighborhood. i need a little neighborhood quilt right now.
Posted by: jes curtis | Thursday, May 05, 2011 at 06:58 PM
Very nice neighbourhood houses - I love them
Posted by: Chris | Wednesday, May 04, 2011 at 01:01 AM
the neighborhood is definitely the favorite here.
Posted by: charlotte | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 07:27 PM
Love them all, but my favorite is "The Neighborhood". Your new line and patterns are amazing!!
Posted by: Debbie Grant | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 06:28 PM
The Neighborhood!!!! I just love these quilts!!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the Lighthouse pattern! It's simple but very cute with the great fabric. Thanks for opportunity to win!
Posted by: Tara | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 12:44 PM
when I saw 'townhouse', I literally GASPED - it is SOOOO simple and ADORABLE!! to win would be fantastic.
Posted by: Kathleen | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 12:24 PM
I love the "neighborhood" pattern, I'm a sucker for a cute house, all of the patterns are cute of course!
Posted by: kristine hanson | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 12:08 PM
I love Yacht club. My 13 year old has been asking for a quilt of his own. This would be perfect.
Posted by: Cindy Hill | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 12:07 PM
Oh there all are BEAUTIFUL!! But to choose a favorite I would say the "Intersection" would be mine!
Posted by: Tammie Bivins | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 11:43 AM
The quilts are beautiful! I think I like the City Block it is so cute. but I would love to make the neighborhood too.
Posted by: Tina Osborne | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 10:45 AM
How do you choose a favorite? I'd love to sew them all... but I guess Townhouse is rockin' my socks the most. :) YAY for new patterns and new fabric. I'm going to hoard this collection. I just know it! :)
Posted by: kelly | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I can't wait to visit Mama Said Sew on our next fly fishing trip to Estes Park - a detour to Ft. Collins will certainly be called for! I love the Hometown Quilt! We recently retired to a lovely little "hometown" in the SE corner of Washington state - whose name made it in big letters on to this line - thank you, thank you!
Cheers!
Posted by: Candace | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 09:43 AM
Really....choose JUST one :) Love them all! I guess Intersections...but don't hold me to it cuz I'll change my mind....lol.
Posted by: Connie | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 08:52 AM
I love the freshness of Intersection and Lighthouse but my fave is Yacht Club. And since I live near the beach it would look perfect on my screen porch!
Posted by: Robin F | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 08:38 AM
Oh my gosh! Seriously?! How can we possible choose? Each of these is so perfect for your fabric lines. I am so torn between Intersection and Yacht Club, but probably YC would be a good change for what I usually pick. This is almost like saying you have a 'favorite' child. Each is beautiful and fun. I would have a blast working with all of the patterns and would be thrilled to make each and share the love with family for gifts. Thanks for all your hard work. Denise Wood
Posted by: Denise | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 07:59 AM
How do you decide which one?? If forced to choose I would say the table runner....love the combo of embroidery and piecing!
Posted by: Lori M | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 07:21 AM
Intersection!!
No wait - Yacht Club. . . . or Lighthouse. Well, City Block is awesome too. . .
I don't think I can decide - just have to do them all !

I've got a crush on this fabric so bad, but I love the sparing, tantalizing way it's used in Intersection, it's definitely my favorite.
Posted by: Ruth | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 07:08 AM
My favorite is the "City Block" table runner. Love the combination of quilting and embroidery!
Posted by: Jane | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 06:42 AM
I absolutely love " Yacht Club"!! We live on the Intracoastal Waterway in North Carolina. All sizes of boats go by and I love seeing the different colors of sails, etc. This quilt just screams beach and the colors are so bright and cheery.
Posted by: Diane Gill | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 05:46 AM
What lovely patterns! My favourite is hard to pick - but Neighborhood just pips everyone else at the post - the houses look so homely, just what every neighborhood should look like!
Hope you all have a great day
Posted by: Karen Hamilton | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 04:40 AM
I love them all but if I have to choose one, I would say Intersection. I can't wait to get my hands on this fabric. I love that too!
Posted by: Nancy | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 03:48 AM
I love everything that you all do. Always so
fresh and new. I'm torn between Intersections and Lighthouse. I love the
quilting on both of these quilts.
Posted by: Jane | Tuesday, May 03, 2011 at 02:22 AM
What wonderful new patterns. I can not wait to get my hands on these! My favs are "Yacht Club" and "intersection" LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Posted by: Rene B | Monday, May 02, 2011 at 10:41 PM
They are all wonderful, but Intersection really speaks to me (and I love the quilting on it!). :)
Posted by: Robin | Monday, May 02, 2011 at 10:35 PM
I really like the "City Block" table runner
