FROM THE PAST CONTEST

    We will soon be starting our 65th line of fabrics for Moda. We could not have done it without all of you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
.   One of my favorite lines Lynn and I have done is Canoe Country. It was a spring line from 2007. It had the scenes we love to do and our most favorite color pallet.  The pillow was done by This & That Patterns using the center of the panel. The quilt was done by a small pattern who moved on to take a full time job.
The other quilt is also a This & That from our Christmas line North Woods Botanical.

     We are giving away 10 prizes of Charm packs and a  Layer cake. All you have to do is head to the bottom of our page and comment on your  favorite Holly Taylor fabric line. We will do a random select from the entries received. Names will be selected by December 15.  I will notify you by e mail and send a request for your address. Good luck.
     Next month we will be taking you along with us as we create our next line. We will try to show you the process we use to design.    Happy quilting, Eileen

    I love Northern Cardnials, as I miss seeing cardnials in our yard since we now live in the NW. But, all your fabric line have been great.

    My favorite line is from numerous years ago, I can't remember the line but it had a sage green background with cream pinecones over it. Loved it and made a quilt using that piece as my background and the dark greens with it, it is still a favorite today. Please continue your wonderful designs!!!

    Just getting familiar with your fabrics -- started collecting some this summer. Planning a canoe country quilt but probably won't start on it until after Christmas. Also planning on redecorating our camper using canoe country for curtains. Hoping to do a table runner or wall hanging with quilt MN. Thanks for your beautiful colors and patterns!

    I like the Dragonfly line. It reminds me of a summer night right after sunset: still warm, but with a cool breeze coming in.

    All your fabrics are great and that makes it hard to pick a favorite one. I really love the dragonfly ones. Can hardly wait to see your new line. Hope I'm lucky.

    I love all of your fabric lines - they are wonderful. I made a bag from the birch bark batiks. I also really liked the frosted memories line from a couple years ago. Keep designing!!!

    I'm brand new to quilting, caught the bug last January when I had my sister, cousin and their quilting friends to my lakeside home for a "sew-in" week-end - they stitched and I cooked for them. Wasn't long after that when I treated myself to a VIking sewing machine as a retirement gift to myself....and yes, I now have the fabric stash bug! I'm not familiar with all of your lines, but love the cabin, lakeside, canoe themes - looking forward to becomning more familiar with all of your designs!

    LOVE Tamarack Grove. I will be hanging my quilt next week as I move from fall quilts to Christmas decorating. I have several bundles and a kit in my stash of your wonderful fabrics, so yep, I'm a fan!! Thanks for the chance to win. Happy to find your blog.

    I'm having an aweful time posting comments on blogs lately. I'll give it one more try. Anyways, my favorite would be either the Classics line (which fits in very well in my log house!) or Northwoods Botanical. So far, I've made curtains, pillows, and a throw out of these two lines. Of course, cardinals are my favorite bird too. I do not have any of Northern Cardinal, but it sure is calling me!

    I love your Tamarack Grove line and your outdoorsy lines. I have made two quilts using Canoe Country as gifts to the men in my life. And have made my own throw from Tamarack Grove. Keep up the good work!!!!

    I think my favorite is Northern Solitude, but Northern Cardinals is running a close second.

    I just found a Holly Taylor line of fabric that I bought 1+ years ago. I asked my sewing friends if they had any ideas of how to use the panel. One of the gals came back with a pattern using the winter panel. Wow! Cheryl

    My favorite line right now is Simpler Time. I am making a Sherri Falls quilt with it. I love all of your fabric lines and hope to win. I look forward to your next line.

    Hello,
    I found your blog thru This and That by Sheri Falls, also.

    I made a tablerunner from your Northern Cardinal design because I live in California where Cardinals are not seen, which is similar to another commentor "mariebeers".

    Would love to win the fabric and add it to my stash. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Hmmmm - tough choice. But one of my favourites is Birchwood Lane.

    Great "feel" to the lines. They invoke feelings of comfort, warmth, and peace. Love them all - keep up the good work!!!!!!

    I am a fan of all your lines. But the Christmas line Northern Botanicals caught my fancy last year, to the point of me buying enough of your fabric to last me a few holiday season gifts.

  32. Sandy CNovember 17, 2011 at 4:24 PM

    My favorite line is what is currently in the stores and changes each time a new line comes out. I always pickup at least a charm pack or layer cake and whatever is needed to complete a project all within the line. Fantastic colors and themes

    2 years ago my LQS did a Woodland Pines BOM-I love those fabrics and still have to finish my quilt. All your fabrics are wonderful, but the cardinals and Woodland Pines are my favorites.

  34. AnonymousNovember 17, 2011 at 4:57 PM

    I love the subtle colors of all of your fabrics, so much more appealing to me than the current brights - Dragonfly summer is my current favorite, but Northwoods Botanicals is way up there on the list! Heck, they all are. VermontPines@aol.com

  35. Quilter DebNovember 17, 2011 at 5:44 PM

    Holly Taylor lines always find their way into my
    selections for projects, love the outdoorsy feel and the wonderful colors, that seem to bring the Minnesota feeling into my home. Just love them.

    So hard to choose just one, and hard to remember the names! I like the reds and greens more than the purple tones. Frosted Memories, Northern Solitude, Northern Botanicals, and Northern Cardinals are some of my favorites!!

    I made a beautiful quilt with the Nothern Flight collection. Trail Adventure and Canoe Country are also favorites.

    I love the Northern Cardnal line. I guess it is because I love birds and the color red. It is my favorite Christmas fabric to make gifts out of.

  43. JunelleNovember 21, 2011 at 7:54 PM

    I have loved all of your fabrics since the very first "up north" type of designs came out. The colors, designs of trees, cabins, pinecones etc. have been favorites of mine. Every time a new line comes out I'm buying some of it. Now I have scraps from many lines to put together! Thank you for the fun fabric.

    I love all of the Holly Taylor fabric lines, but our school mascot is the cardinal. So I am especially fond of anything with cardinals on it. That Northern Cardinals line is beautiful!

    All of your fabric is so beautiful. My brother-in-law asked me to make two quilts for Christmas gifts last year. I used one of my favorites lines, Moonlight Lodge. (I love the reds.) When his wife opened her quilt, she told him he couldn't give the other one away :)

    My favorite is Northern Cardinal. I love the rich Christmas colors. I am making a Christmas Quilt using the panel and other fabrics from this line. I can hardly wait to finish it.
