My New Year's crafting resolution would be to try new things, not worry about the outcome and just do it!
:)
LOVE those beautiful fabrics!
Thank you for a chance!

my craft resolution is to take the time to journal ALL my ideas.
Good morning,
Once again your new fabric is wonderful! I am starting a new project to present for a book - its all on red quilts. Thank-you for the nice give-a-way!
My goal is to finish the queen-size quilt taking up my large standing frame. I need it desperately for another project.
I am hoping to get my craft room back in some sort of order...it's a mess after a busy crafting season. I love your alphabet print fabric. What fun inspiration!
My New Year's crafting resolution is a two-parter: 1) Clean up (and OUT) the sewing room, and 2) Finish or purge all the unfinished projects.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My New Year's resolution is to learn new things in the quilting world. There is always room for improvement.
I absolutely love this line and would love to make a quilt (and many other things) out of this wonderful fabric!
These new fabrics are gorgeous! Love them. My New Year crafting resolution is to do more of my own crafting and less looking at others... LOL!
And I plan to quilt 2 tops made from FG fabrics. Also I resolve that if I learn new techiques I will use thm.
Love these!! I hope to get back to some sewing this year... These fabrics would make some really cute French inspired pincushions...so that is what I would create!
Love the beautiful fabric!
My New Year's resolution is to finish a "Family Quilt". My Dh and I renewed our wedding vows and had a great party to celebrate. For our guest book, I made up signature blocks for everyone to sign. I have put the blocks together but thats as far as I have gotten. I would LOVE to finish this quilt and hang it in our living room for everyone to enjoy!
Thank you for the generous give-a-way!

Buying on sale Christmas fabric to make a tree skirt, table runners , placemats, lap quilt.. and stockings.. Oh help me now.
I love your new fabric. I can just see it on my sewing machine. My craft resolution is to make more quilts in 2011. I also need to organize my stash. THank you for the wonderful fabric lines.
My New Year´s crafting resolution is to finished my Double Wedding Ring Quilt.
Thank you for the giveaway.
Wish you a happy new year.

Love, love, love! My husband's Christmas gift to me was a handmade floor-to-ceiling shelf unit for my studio... so my first resolution is to get my fabric organized and out where I can see it. Adding some new prints to my rather small stash would be lovely.
My sewing/crafting resolution is to spend more time in my sewing room. I love it when I have time to sew, so I'm scheduling blocks of time on my calendar to just sew and create:)
please don't count me in the contest since i already have mine...but i LOVE these farbrics. it's the perfect blend of old and new, and also just perfect for the male quilter!
My crafting resolution for the new year is to spend more time crafting. I always seem to put my craft projects on the back burner. This year they will be on the front burner, hopefully!!!
Beautiful fabric Collection!!! My resolution is to sew with my daughter. She is 12 and has a very unique style, sort of steam punk goth meets vintage french, and I know that we'll have fun creating some special things together and she may learn a little something along the way.
Thanks,
Mary
My crafty resolution this year is to try to get a pattern published in a quilt magazine!
Oh, be still my heart; I so love polka dots! This fabric line is fabulous! My new year's goal is to utilize all the wonderful treasures I have in my home, and create thoughtful gifts for friends and family! I would certainly utilize all these wonderful fabrics in aprons or totes!

Finish some quilting projects-this year I really mean it-and spend more time with my sewing buddies. Love your fabrics.
My 2011 crafting resolution is to learn how to use a sewing machine. my husband's grandmother, Lecta, has been wanting to teach me forever so I am definitely taking the time. I see so many beautiful projects like free stitch journals that I would love to be able to do.
As a newbie quilter. I am looking forward to learning, learning and learning some more all things 'quilty' related :) (and collecting dots and stripes fabric - cough!)
In 2011, I want to take more time to sew-and finish many of my UFO's. I would LOVE to make Anne Sutton's "Night Before Christmas" quilt and have it finished before next Christmas.
Thanks for the chance to win. Bonne Annee!!!
Two years ago for New Year's Day I decided to move my sewing area to our unfinished attic, and turn it into a haven. I thought it would take a couple of days to get it into order, but after two years, the job is still not complete. My 2011 New Year's resolution is to keep organizing and adding things I love, so that I will be surrounded by inspiration. I know better now than to resolve to "finish", because my evolving projects make it a never ending job-or "joy", depending on how one looks at it, lol!
My New Year's crafting resolution is to organize all my supplies and to share my crafting knowledge by starting to teach art/craft workshops! I'm really excited to do this! This line of fabrics is just fantastic! Jamie V in MT

This collection is absolutely "INCROYABLE"!!!!
PLEASE add my name in your blog contest!!!
I have done a REAL good job on my UFOs this year (2010) and plan on continuing to PURGE my tote boxes and such of all the other UFO's hiding....
Thanks for showing us this incredible collection!

Ah, my resolution is MENDING! I worked so hard on crafted Christmas presents that now it's quite a pleasure to turn to the mending pile... Strange but true.
Your fabrics are wonderful and are indeed very like the only little French school book I've picked up so far!
My resolution would be to work on Christmas gifts and projects throughout the year so they are all done and ready for next year. I keep loving your lines. They're so wonderful.
make time to sew every day, as it makes me so happy. Also, take some time to play around and do some experimenting with different mixes of fabrics, in small projects. I have some beautiful vintage linens that I want to mix with my cotoon stash. Oh, did I mention, give up houseswork? ;)
My new years resolution is to finish quilting all my quilt tops by June 2011 and to photgraph all quilts and keep my design journal up to date. The other resolution is to make at least four charity quilts for this year for the neo natal ward at our local hospital.
My new year crafting resolution would be to sew a school house patchwork. I'm a teacher-I teach French to"foreign" students, and I realize it would be funny to sew that kind of quilt with this fabric line from Moda.
Thank you for a chance.
I just love those colours- My New year resolution is to finish a quilt made with many Rouenneried fabrics and start one for my Grandson- he starts school (I live in Australia) in Feb and htese are his school `colours`! Am going to make his `Library Bag` and `sports bag from it`!
I just adore it and thought a Quilt for Harry is perfect!Happy New Year- I do so enjoy your Blog!
My resolution is to finish more of the projects that I start! In a more timely fashion...:)
These prints are gorgeous!
My New Years craft resolution is to get my long arm quilting business up and running and make all my customers very happy.
my new years craft resolution is to try a new technique each week. thanks for the giveaway - the colors are gorgeous...from the jewelry goddess of Minnesota...ok, not so much, but did love learning from you this past year...hope to see you at Michelle´s lovely Rose Mille again!
The only resolution I've made is to not buy more fabric, winning is OK, so I can make a dent in my stash.
I just have to say.....I love all off you're fabrics so much! Every time I think this is it! Happy New Year to you and everybody else....
My New Years resolution is to make more and more quilts.......there are never enough quilts in your life to share with family and friends.

Adorable! j'aime beaucoup. Especially as I was once a petite écolière!

That collection is to die for, especially the stripes. New Year's Craft Resolutions include decorating some of the house in French Shabby Chic and to just keep pursuing all of the quilt projects.
Your new collection is lovely...thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway.
This next year I'm looking forward to trying some new crafts, specifically embroidery and knitting.
My New Year crafty resolution is to present every newborn in the family with a quilt. Other than that -just follow my quilting heart ! Your fabrics are beautyful,
greetings from Iceland,
Dora Dis
My New Year's craft resolutions are to finish a few of my WIPs, start some new small quilts using my current collection of your fabric designs, make up your Maison De Garance quilt pattern and start one new large quilt.
I think that should keep me busy for the next 12 months!! lol
Thank you for the chance to win! :)
I love all your designs!
Happy New Year!
I just bought the border and binding fabric for three quilts. My goal is to finish the three quilt tops before I start something new!
My craft resolution is very ambitious!! I need to straighten up my craft room and get ready to move! Yikes!!
I'll see you on January 29th!!
My crafting resolution is to enjoy the process, finish one boy's quilt (or as close to it as possible) before the next one arrives and to share my crafting time with some of my best friends as it is priceless bonding time. Love the la Petite Ecole fabric. Thanks for making tasteful children's fabric choices.
My New Year resolution is to do more of the same. Being about to purchase beautiful fabric made by talented designers, such as yourself, is a dream come true. Wish I could resolve to make more hours in each day. Keep on keeping on.
my new year's craft revolution starts with cleaning up the aftermath of holiday orders. From November to December, it was a flurry from Silver Bella to a local sale and open house. My studio can use a good once over. (it's tough to do because some of my best ideas come from where beads and charms wind up on my table)
Happy New Year!
P.S. My sister gave me the polka dot tool pocket/wrap for Christmas and I love it.
2011 will be a quilting year for me. I didn't do much this year because of the illness and loss of someone special in my life, but I am entering the new year with new resolve! 2011? Bring it on!
My New Years Craft resolution is to be inspired by what I already own. The beautiful new fabric will be an accent to an existing palette.
Happy New Year! and thanks for the draw.
My resolution is to use as many fabrics up into new designs from inspiration from designers. All of them!! The fabrics are beautiful!!
Next year, I resolve, in the words of Nike, to "just do it!" Not wait to have a perfect plan and the perfect supplies, but just use what I've got and make something. I think both my productivity and my creativity would get a bounce. By the way, lovely fabrics which would go so well with photos of my parents when they were children.
This beautiful fabric line would make me put down my school books and start a project.....I love it!!!
Every new line of the French General fabrics outdoes the last one. How do you manage to accomplish that??? The new fabrics are so beautiful. I am resolving for 2011 to finish up some old and definitely start some new projects. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Mary
My New's Years resolution is not to start a new project until I finish an old one - at least I won't accumulate any more UFOs that way! Love this fabric line and thanks for the great giveaway.
Well, how interesting when I looked at my computer because I had just returned from purchasing the layer cake of this fabric from the quilt shop in Livermore, CA. I LOVE this. And it goes perfect with all the other French General fabric I have accumulated. I am using this for a quilt class I am taking in a couple of weeks. And it is also being made into a comforter for my bed.
My resolution for the new year ... finish more of my projects that have been accumulating
I am purposing to quilt more in 2011. There have been some detours in the last two years that have made it difficult to sew and quilt. I am hoping that this New Year will be bright with possibilities :-)
My New Years crafting resolution would be to continue on showing more of my creative stress in my gardening and quilting..........I love your new fabric line and would love to have them. Thanks for having this GIVEAWAY, MARY
My New Year's crafting/sewing resolution is to sew as many quilts as I can (I'm a relatively new quilter, but I've sewn all my life), continue to improve my knitting skills, learn to do some simple crochet, and try to find some time for scrapbooking too. I love all your fabric, but want to make a quilt from La Petite Ecole fabric. Thanks for the opportunity to win some!!
Hi and Happy Holidays from Downunder in Western Australia! I just love all the French general fabrics and used the Luminere De Noel to make a table runner and coasters for a Christmas gift, it was very difficult to give them away! My crafting resolution for this year is to make some quilts and smaller quilted items for myself as I always seem to give what i make away! It does give me great pleasure though. Happy New Year!
Like most folks, I'm sure - TIME! More time reserved for creativity. That was mine last year as well.
My resolution is to take some classes to learn new techniques and to really use up some of the supplies I have been hoarding for far too long.
My resolution is to finish a quilt I started in 2008! Thanks for the giveaway!

I read about you in the latest issue of Romantic Homes :) A friend from the US was so kind to send it to me, lol. My "resolution" for the new year is to just craft more. Have been in a funk lately so need a little pick me up :)
Hugs from the Netherlands
Absolutely adore this fabric. My resolution for this year is to sort out my fabric, and what a wonderful way to start if I won some of yours, and to stop procrastinating and just get on with my quilting.
Happy New Year

I LOVE your new fabrics, they not only inspire me, they motivate me to combine them with my vintage stashes. I would love to win! Thanks for keeping creativity flowing in all of us.
What lovely fabrci and I'd love a chance to win.
I'd like to make Christmas crafts all through the year, not just December! That's my resolution.
Beautiful fabrics! My craft resolution is sew more, collage more, just do more!! Happy New Year and thanks for the opportunity to win.
My New Year's craft resolution is to relax and have more fun with what I'm creating - especially working with fabrics. I tend to be too much of a perfectionist and even quit halfway through a sewing project if not 100% satisfied. :( Your new fabrics may be just the inspiration I need!
My resolution is to sew more and finally bring order out of chaos in my stitching room! Adore the fabrics!
In 2011 I want to do something creative each day...it really helps me clear the cob webs in my brain. :) I also want to take my first "real" craft class this year. I've taken plenty of online classes, but with my youngest baby graduating high school this year, it's time to do something that's good for my soul.
Thanks for the chance to win your pretty fabrics!

My 2011 sewing resolution is to sew 30 minutes a day no matter what! Sewing is what makes me happy and connected to my quilting friends. Love, love love your fabric lines - they will make my resolution easier to keep!
Kerry
The resolution regarding craft for the new year I'll be much the same as the old year...
Busy hands mean a quiet mind..
Thank you Kaari!
My New Year's crafting resolution is to finish more projects than I start.
Oh, another lovely yummy French General fabric collection! I love it so much. I resolve to catalog, create, and implement all of the new craft ideas running through my head lately. Inspiration is EVERYWHERE! ~Kathleen
My stitching group leader has encouraged me to complete one quilt top per month in 2011. Perhaps this will aid in organizing my sewing room??? Thanks for sharing your lovely fabric
Love all your fabrics.
Use lots and hope to continue this next year.
My resolutions for the new year are to use lots of embellishments I have on hand. I want to create more French projects, always looking for new ideas and hoping to find something I have not tried before.
aloha, appreciate this awesome opportunity, Lilla
My 2010 Craft Resolution is to pass on the craft/art of sewing to my four daughters. They have all been bitten by the needling bug! What fun to watch them as they learn. Personally, I will be making time to craft 4 night each week. Such a peaceful way to end each day!
This year I´d love to make a coat and my first quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
I REALLY want to finish as many of my unfinished projects as possible in the new year. I may have to send some tops out to be quilted, instead of hand quilting them, but it's starting to be frustrating to have some many works in progress - especially since I have some new ones I want to get started on!
Linda
My NYR is learning more about fabric and quilt history. As well as finishing more projects! Oh! and keeping better notes! Annddd Keeping my sewing space tidy. Hhmmm looks like I'm going to need a paper and pencil!
I've fallen in love with your products and can't stay away from the fabric! I also love the new line! And yes I need it for my stash!!!
Happy new year!!!!!
Logan
I'm SOOOOO excited! I will be retiring in March ---my resolution is to create a list of all the projects I haven't had time to do and get going on them as soon as retirement begins! Would love to have 'La Petit Ecole' as part of that!
My New Year's crafting resolution is to make time to work on a project each day, even if only for 15 minutes! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win some of this fabric. I have been in love with every line of fabric that French General designs. Seriously. In. Love.
My craft resolution is to finish some old projects -- like the bed quilt I started 12 years ago.
to stay own schedule and document all my lastest ideas and previous project.
My resolution is to finish the crafts I started in 2010 and to try and learn to quilt.
My resolution is to finish what I have started before taking up a new project. Thanks for a great giveaway of some beautiful fabric.
I dream that this year, my antique linens/notions will find their way out of misc. storage (antique luggage mainly) and enjoy a new life, to be repurposed and enjoyed.
Love the fabric. I am working on many little projects and just have to get them all done. You inspire me to do more.
I would love to cover some actual Moleskin cahiers I received for Christmas for my daughter who just started kindergarten this year! And maybe some banners of the letter fabric to hang in her room to reinforce what she is learning in school.
Beautiful colors and designs, Kaari! I was in the shop with my young daughter right before Christmas; I admired this fabric while she enjoyed your cookies.
Jennifer Salazar
Happy New Year, My resolution is going to be staying the course.
I start so many projects and don't get much finished.
This year I resolved to get all these projects finished,getting my daughter involve in the creative process, that way I will feel a sense of accomplishment and develop a new habit at the same time, by staying motivated.
Thank you so much for the giveaway!

I"m a new sewer, so in the next year I will continue to add to my limited sewing skills and also to try some cross-stitch.
Ahhhh...love the graphics mixed with the stripes and dots!!
My resolution is to finish up every work in progress. And I have given myself permission to add in new fabrics...oh, say, like the ones in your photo!
My resolution is to organize my craft room so I can complete projects with less frustration .
I so love French General fabrics...they are all beautiful!!
wishing you and all a happy New Year...this year I wish to make new quilts and finish some already in progress...
My New Year's craft resolution is to finish my UFO's, before I go on to new projects. But I have to say some of those beautiful fabrics would work with some of my projects. Thank you for the chance.
Love this new collection! My New Year's resolution is to finish the (needed) projects for myself before I start on the list of gifts I'd like to make.
My sewing resolution is to attack the mountain of unfinished projects and NOT buy anything new (better get those jelly rolls before the end of the year!) and my life resolution is to find a better balance!
My sewing resolution is to attack the mountain of unfinished projects and NOT buy anything new (better get those jelly rolls before the end of the year!) and my life resolution is to find a better balance!
My resolution tends to be the same each year! Finish all my UFO's and no more new fabric (it doesn't last very long!)
My resolution is to have all the quilt blocks that I need to make for swaps ready well in advance. No last minute sewing to fulfill commitments.
My New Years resolution is to work my list of projects...hummm...that is unless another one comes along and bumps the order a bit! Your fabric is tops!
OH MY GOODNESS this is my favorite line of fabric! my New Year's craft resolution would have to be to finish my quilts (I have 7 on the go, embarrassing! And I am starting the night before christmas which uses le petite ecole this coming month!)hmm, and to add some new things to my craft time- my hubby bought me beads and kits and tools from your website, and I am more than enjoying myself, I feel a new obsession ...maybe I'll just pull out all my stained glass stuff as well, who needs a toy room??
Hi.. I lately found your blog and I love it! This giveaway is so wonderful! My crafting resolution for the new year is to start making fabric birds in a more professional way, to combine new and antique fabrics and laces to create a living charm. Thank you for this opertunity to use your lovely fabrics!
These fabrics are absolutely beautiful - I love the ones with the letters on - so antiquey and cool. My husband gave me a Maison de Garance layer cake for Xmas and I'm designing a three stars quilt with it - let me know if you'd like to see it when it's done (pics of the early blocks will be up this week on my blog (http://lilysquilts.blogspot.com/). I was tempted to ask Moda Bake Shop to make the quilt in this line but I think the prints call for something a little simpler. Anyway, either way I'd love to win these gorgeous fabrics!
Hi, my New Years resolution is to finish a Xmas quilt that I have been intending to finish for a few years, also finish a couple of quilted bags that I made stitcheries for. One is for a schoolteacher, so the "La Petite Ecole" fabrics would be just perfect!!!! Sandy. :-)
sandangels1945@hotmail.com
my new years resolution is to find time every day to be creative. Your new fabrics are beautiful. Deb
My New Year's resolution is to begin crafting January 1. I will be working on a One Lucky Day project. I think that is a great start to the new year. Seeing your new fabric has reminded me I can use some fabrics in my stash. Thanks for the inspiration!
My new years resolution is to take time out for myself to pour over my FG books and to create georgeous home linens from my stash of beautiful fabrics. Happy New Year from London!
My answer is crazy because one of my resolutions is to WIN A BIG GIVEAWAY! I have resolved to learn how to use the new sewing machine my mother bought - especially machine quilting and embroidery.

My top two resolutions are: 1) find a full time library position; 2) Spend more time creating. These fabrics are just lovely. Next time we're in L.A. we will be sure to stop by the shop!
Oh la la. I am planning on doing my bedroom in this La Petite Ecole collection! I love, love the grays, they almost seem like "mens wear" fabrics. I bought a charm pack and am sewing a little wall hanging, and quilting it in a Fleur De Lis quilting pattern. I also just painted my bedroom gray. Pick me, Pick me!!!
New Years crafting................use stash for two quilts before I can purchase anything new!
Thanks for the give-away

DaisyGirl
I hereby resolve to spend at least 1 hr a day having fun in my sewing room. And I'd love it to be with some French General fabrics!
Just want to spend more time period quilting. Really want to make quilts for all of my 8 grandkids this year. When they were born didnt have time so will try to give one to each on there birthday. Your fabric would be perfect. I love your material as I love red /beige and blue as well. Thanks Sandi
I just love the new fabric.
My New Year's craft resolution is to try new techniques and to stretch a little out of my comfort zone.
Thank you for the opportunity.
J'adore cette collection!
My 7 yr-old daughter is having a new bed this year, designed and build by her father. So my first New Year resolution is to design and sew her a quilt to put on her new bed.
Thank you for the giveaway!
just to get organized to see all that I have- that doesn't mean i cant find room for more fabric
Love,love,love this fabric line!

Ohh this collection is so beautiful.
Your new collection is lovely.
My New Year's crafting resolution would be to finish a couple old projects, which are taking too much space in my sewing room.

I have lots of plans and projects in mind for 2011, but my resolution is to become familiar with my new embroidery software package. Love the new fabric! I can see it worked in with some tutorial quilt blocks...
Oh my! THis fabric is delicieux.. so many things I could do with it...
merci
I am a neophyte quilter, but, as with all other crafts I enjoy, I am diving in head first. Those fabrics are so, so pretty and would love to do something for my bedroom with them. Thanks very much for the chance.
-Sherry-
My crafting resolution is for my very own studio in my new home. A place on the 1st floor (close to family), right off the utility (for sewing needs) and a separate entrance from the outside (for friends and classes).
I already have the cutting done on a new quilted table runner from La Petite Ecole. I'm a sucker for anything with typography right now. I definitely need to finish that up. I also want to finish three other quilts that I have started.
to finish up baby vivian's room.......& clean out our studio.
i love this line kaari!
My New Year's crafty resolution is to learn ALL of the in's and out's of my sewing machine, embroidery machine and serger. I have had these machines for a few years now and only know how to preform basic functions on them. I know they can do so much more!
I would love to use your beautiful fabrics when I learn how to do something really neat!
Happy New Year!
~Sena
My resolution is to finish one vintage project and then have the reward of a new idea!!! I am BAD about procrastination!!
Oh my goodness what great fabric.
Next year I'm going to make, and not buy toys for my 3 year old boy and baby girl. These kids need to grow up seeing their mama crafting!
My main NY's R is to be more focused and organised in my crafting.
Hopefully that will lead to a greater output and less mess.
Ideas start swirling round in my head and I can't help myself starting a new project.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.
My problem is that I just LOVE all your fabric lines. I received the Rouenneries line as a Christmas present last year and throughout 2010 was not able to decide for a project to use it in case there might be THE perfect one around the corner that I just am not yet aware of. You see, I used to be undecisive, but now I don't know ....
So, my resolution for 2011 is not only to watch my Rouenneries but use them.
And maybe a little pile of "La Petite Ecole" would help me overcome my hesitation ...
Thank you for all the wonderful fabrics you're designing for us and for the chance to win some of them!
Happy New Year
Rena
from bitterly cold Germany
My resolution is to actual finish the projects that are started....or give them away....so I can make more room for beautiful fabrics like these...hint, hint :)
I have struggled with sewing over the years, but just purchased a new sewing machine. I took a journal class from mary ann moss called Remains of the Day where I learned how to sew a beautiful journal cover. My resolution is to enjoy sewing and incorporate it into my altered art projects. I love your fabrics and hope you pick me, : )
Catherine
Mine is to finish the beautiful quilt I started for my daughter with your Red Moda line of fabrics. I ADORE all your fabrics, Thank you for them all :).
I want to get more of my last year projects off the list. I also want to get some new things done and ready for the quilters. I love to read your blog
Love your new fabric's!! My resolution for crafting this year is to do more sewing, I just started and have really enjoyed it... Happy New Year.
Thank you for the chance !
Carol
These are just gorgeous. I'm a huge fan!
What a wonderful range of fabric. My new year's craft resolution is to keep up to date with several BOMs that I am doing and to to finish some UFOs as well. Thanks for having a giveaway.
My new year's resolution is to finish a quilt every other month. Notice I didn't say start :)
Wonderful fabrics ! Thank you for your generosity.
my resolution is to definately start quilting!! I LOVE your fabrics, just ordered my first jellyroll of it. I didn't even realise that I had your beautiful book almost two years ago from my cousin & was in LOVE. Now I have fabric fthat suits all my projects out of that book!!!
thanks for the chance.

I am just discovering the beauty of The French General Fabrics. And blogging! This is my first!
my craft intention is to take my new sewing machine out of its box.
the same box it has been sitting in since last February.
i love typography + fonts and anything vintage school related.
my grandmother was a teacher and a gifted seamstress.
this year i am determined to channel her spirit through my sewing machine...with a little practice...
Jan
OMG! The machine is still in the box! There's too much beautiful fabric going to waste, while that machine sits idle. :)
I am definately trying to make a quilt this year. I might start with a small one though, this gorgeous fabric would be perfect for my first one :)
Happy 1-1-11! I'm excited to have the fall craft season behind me and new roads ahead. My resolution is to continue to develop my own sense of style. I've also been thinking about creating a new item using my vintage collections of ephemera and sewing notions.
My crafting resolution would be to incorporate paper and fabric together. I love all these new fabrics.
My goal is to make a beautiful quilt and curtains for our master bedroom.

My new year's crafting resolution is to continue building my small accessory business and to branch out into new creative directions using new and different materials while continuing with a vintage style! I LOVE French General and these fabrics are fab! Thank you!

My new years resolution is to make a quilt for my king size bed. I have made quilts for my children, but not for my own. I love French General and plan on finishing my quilt...I just need to decide if it will be all petite ecole or a combination of French General.
My New Year resolution is to make more quilts and knit more items for those I love. Quilting for others is always an act of love, the time, thought and effort that goes into a quilt is always influenced by the caring that you feel for the person, and how much they will love the item made. Recently, my only daughter and new husband, informed me, that we will be having a new family member in this new year. So for me, the New Year resolution is a perfect for me to show my daughter, how much I love her, and already love out new baby.

What a beautiful collection! I rarely make NY resolutions, however it is ongoing goal to make more time for my studio projects.
My craft resolution is to finally learn to sew more than a straight line. My almost 80 year old grandmother is teaching me and I want to learn as much as I can from her!
I am a new quilter (a few months new) and just love this line. I love all things french related and have an interest in making mini-quilts. A small sample of this line would be a wonderful start!
Thank you for the give-away!

oh, to have vintage-looking school prints to share with my twin 10 year olds (who sew quite well) would be a real thrill! my new year's resolution is to take time to slow down (me) and teach my girls some great sewing tips! they already can piece fabric so they're on their way! their grandma is an avid quilter so we're spoiled that way. their other grandmother spends much of her time making humanitarian quilts. we love fabric!

My New Years crafting resolution is to ORGANIZE so I can get in my art room! Seriously it is in a sad condition but I also want to spend time with my daughter and grand daughter teaching them to sew. they are so anxious for this creative journey.
The fabrics are so gorgeous!
Hoping to eat less chocolate and finish more projects before buying
MORE fabric!
to touch all the things that i love, creating with them beauty to inspire me and to share with my friends.
i love all of your fabrics, and am drooling over some on frenchgeneral.com to gift myself for my birthday this week!
how i wish you were designing fabric when i started quilting 20 years ago, looking for vintage reproductions!

Even if I don't win which I never do I thought this was funny. To put a different spin on an old knack song
"Ma Ma My MODA!" Or I hope it will be. I love MODA it is my new years resolution to sew as much as I can with MODA.
La Petite Ecole fabric just arrived in the UK. I was on my way out of my quilting class when I saw the opened delivery box on the shop floor. I ordered straight out of the box. I could not believe it. I went through all their deliveries and then chose the ones I really liked. Wish I could have them all but I may just get kicked out by my family.
Already dreaming about what to make for my son's school with what I got.
I'm late on leaving a comment however I want all that fabric!!!!
Is that not the greatest fabric I have ever seen??? I love the ABC fabric oh just all of it.
I have to find out where I can buy it
I also just loved the trip down the stairs of Tinsel Trading I would sleep down there and I could look through every box
