Custom Fabric Give-Away ~ The Colors and Textures of Woodlands!

March Queen: Carol of Carol R. Eaton Designs

 I am so thrilled to be this month's "Queen" for The Printed Fabric Bee. The  talent within this group of artists is mind blowing and to have a custom fabric collection of their interpretations for my theme keeps a Cheshire Cat sized grin on my face!  

 As an artist I draw daily inspiration from the woodlands surrounding my Connecticut studio. I asked the other artists to create a design based on the colors and textures they see in their local woodlands. The artists live scattered across the country so the interpretations are diverse and unique! 

 To share the joy The Printed Fabric Bee provides an opportunity for one lucky person to win a custom fabric pack of 6" X 6" squares just like the current Queen's! All you need to do to enter is leave a comment below or hop over to my blog and enter there. 

The collection is waiting to find a good home! 

 The winner will be randomly chosen on April 12th and the name will be published here as well as on my blog at Carol R. Eaton Designs... so mark your calendars and be sure to check back to see if it's YOU!

    My current work is using 6" squares, so I must be the perfect candidate for these gorgeous fabrics! Right? Right?

    What a terrific collection this month. The things we take for granted like the woodlands interpreted in so many different ways...birds on the wires above the trees, dye-printed leaf prints, barn wood, the "understory". Terrific. Thanks for sharing.

    Photographs never do fabric justice, I need to hold it and pet it to absorb it's character.

    These are all just gorgeous, and I think if I won them I would have to frame them or otherwise display them rather than dare sew with them.

  59. AudreyApril 10, 2014 at 8:13 AM

    What a special collection of fabric. I think I would be inclined to frame each piece and create a wall display. You are so kind to offer these fabrics as a giveaway.
