This is Marabella!
I am so excited to be showing this at Market! It will be available at a quilt shop near you in February!
Most of you may know that I lost my beloved mother several years ago of thyroid cancer. She was and always will be an inspiration in my life. While I was drawing Marabella, my sister gave me a box of my mother old paintings and doodlings. I was so excited. I took one of her drawings and added a little twist! Can you guess which one was my mothers? Those of you who already know (close friends and family) don't guess!
Love you Mom, wish you were here!

First of all - this collection is lovely - seriously WOW!!!
As for which one could have been from your mother - I think I would lean towards the tulip flower one or the flower with the 3 petals and circle in the middle. They are all so great - how can anyone know
Funny, but I thought the same as your first commenter...the 3 pointed flower with circle in the center...but then my second guess was the large circle pattern. all so nice, and how wonderful to see your mom in your own prints!!
Congratulations Amy--I'm so excited for you!!! I'm guessing the three-petaled flower. Have fun at market!
Marabella is gorgeous Amy! Can't wait to get my hands on some of it! What a special tribute to your Mom.
Do we really have to wait until February???? I love both colors, can't wait to buy some!!!
I'm sure your Mom is so happy for you! It's a gorgeous fabric line...I love each design! Congrats...do we really have to wait until next year?!
Amy, I am guessing the flower w/the 3 petals and the circle. Hurry and get it in - Much love and good luck - to you! Trudy
This definitely has a home at my shop! Hope Market was great for you! I had to miss but can't wait to see what your new patterns are!

That is so cool that you could incorporate a little of your mother into the line, but I have no idea which one it is. It's is gorgeous fabric!
beautiful Amy! Simply beautiful! Your mother is proud! And so are we! Congrats, such a big accomplishment!
Congratulations on your new fabric! And how cool to incorporate your mama into it. I think it's the fabric in the top left in the pink and the top right in the purple.
what a sweet memory....and how proud your Mom must be of you. LOVE the collection and guessing your Mom drew the tulip??? XXX Annie
Wow Amy!!! You are totally amazing! Can't wait to get some of the purple line:) (At my favorite local quilt shop of course:)
yay for you!
I wouldn't have the first clue but I am going to go with the large print with the three petals. They are all really good and love the colors!
I think the trillium print was your mother's...am I right?!
I can't wait to get my hands on some of this fabric! It is fabulous!
Your mother would have been your biggest fan I'm sure!
beautiful quilts, and all your other patterns too. It would be hard to decide what to do first.

Thankyou so much for giving us the chance to win your patterns on V and Co's blog... They are so absolutely lovely... and the fabrics, too!! My daughter loves them too, I think I will have to make her something or she won't let me live!!
A beautiful collection - congratulations! I found you through Van&Co and have now added you to my Google Reader, so shall be back for more lovely creations.
They are some seriously gorgeous fabrics. Congratulations. May be the allover flowers (big flowers with small ones inbetween)?
I love the pink and green. I think the same one as the first two commenters. We're probably all wrong, aren't we?
Amy,I am so glad I found you through V and Co. It's awesome that we have an opportunity to win some of your amazing patterns. And the Marabella line is gorgeous! Can't wait to get some.
Congratulations on your line! It is so beautiful!
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. My mother had thyroid cancer when I was in high school. I'm so thankful she is still with me.
Congrats Amy! Beautiful colors! I'm sure your Mom is so very proud of you! :) I hope you had fun at Market and can't wait to get my hands on some of this fabric! :)

Found you from V & CO....LOVE your fabrics and patterns. Delicious!
Gorgeous stuff, Amy!! V&Co sent me your way and I'm so glad she did. So pretty I could just pet it. I guess the 3 petal flower was your Mom's, too.
Your collection is beautiful - I'm excited for it to come out in stores so that I can see it in person!
Is it the pink three-pointed flower that is based on your Mother's doodle?
I was sent over here by Vanessa (although I've been here before on my own,) so in honour of V I just have to say...you have nice legs! hehe ;)

Love love love your collection Amy! You have inspired me to get my butt moving again and finish up some of the items that I have in my quilt bin so that I can get some new fabric. (I have a rule that I really can't buy anything until I finish some of the projects that I have going....)
Absolutely lovely!

so great!
This collection is beautiful. I NEED the purple now! My family already drew names for Christmas, and the person I have wants something (quilt) in purple. This is the first line I have found that has exactly what I'm looking for. Are you sure we can't get it before Christmas?? ;-)
What a beautiful line!
This fabric is beautiful. I will have to put it on my wish list!
Hi! Just came over from V and Co. Your patterns and fabric are beautiful!!!
Such a gorgeous line... can't wait till it's released :)
So pretty. I headed over from V&Co. What beautiful work you do.
I love to sew for my grandaughter and I love all the fabric that I see on your site. Would love to win!!!
Thanks
I would guess the three sided flower because it is so unique. The fabrics are all beautiful and how proud you must be to have a piece of her in your fabrics !
Very cute, ALL of it!
Amy, I love the collection & the name is sweet! Thanks for doing the giveaway!
http://adorabilatee.blogspot.com/2009/10/giveaways-are-for-mondays.html

What beautiful fabrics. Fun to know there's another super talented lady in Idaho. Good luck with all your endeavors.
I love your dress pattern featured at v & co. I want one BAD! I am so glad I found you.
All the fabrics are so lovely ... your mother would be so proud. I'm guess the 5 petal flower w/tiny flower in between. I love the whole collection ... you did good.
I'm so excited for this collection to hit the stores! The purples are the perfect colors and styles for one of my daughters, I can see her wearing cute capri's and some tops and it will be so fun to make them- what a lovely line! I'm happy I found you from V&Co.
Just love your new fabric. Just a beautiful collection.
I love the skirt. Great stuff!!
i'm so thoroughly impressed by your story over at V and CO! great talent and lovely new fabrics. congrats on your new line!

I found you through V & Co. Love the fabric and your pattern are great! Are you in North Idaho?
I'm in love with your work! Absolutely beautiful fabric and patterns. I'm so glad vanessa clued me in to your blogsite, your now a favorite!
I am watching your 1/4 inch seam video right now. This has got me thinking, really! Thanks.
I saw your give-away on V&Co. Yours is an inspiring story of following your passion. And I really enjoy the lavender version of your fabric line.
i love your patterns!
Great collection! My guess is your mom's is the floral (tulip like flower) with the polka dots. I'm guessing the polka dots were your addition.
Congrats on the line!
What a beautiful line. I guess the big flowers are from your mom's doodles. What an inspiration you are--all this accomplishment in only 5 years! Wow!
bee-you-tee-ful. Love the fabric line, got a little sniffly when I read about your momma. So sweet.
Seriously, you are so talented! The prints are amazing! Just looking at the fabric I get ideas of what I could start making...very inspiring!
I greatly admire your talent. I've tried quilting before and it is not easy. Congratulations on your new fabric line!
V sent me here to tell you that you had nice legs. But what I really like is the great patterns and your new fabrics.
Love your fabric! So glad I found you!
I'm guessing the print of the 3 petal flowers. Wish I could get my hands on it before February!!
lovely line! I hope my local stores carry it! I LOVE the pink/blue colorway!!

Amy! I just finished a quilt for my granddaughter but these beautiful Marabella purples will definately mean I'll be making another. I don't know who will love it more, me or her! They are beautiful!
Love your new fabric line...especially the purples! Your little girl is just adorable...love her apron. :)
I love the collection, specially the purple fabrics. Vanessa Christenson told us to tell you, you're hot, LOL :)
I'm so sorry about your mom...but so cool that her art could be the inspiration for your fabulous new line. It makes me want to add quilts to my half-finished crafts!
Cool fabric! What could be better?
I love the purples - the world need more purple for girls instead of pink all the time. Love the london bridges quilt...so cute. I'm following your blog.
Beautiful designs and fabrics! Love the colors. Just wanted to stop by and say Hey and wish you the best.
Love your new line- especially the purple.
Hi! Beautiful new collection and beautiful colours! My guess for your mother's pattern is the tulips.
Gorgeous stuff!
I have to wait until Feb. to get this fabric ;(-, I already have the quilt in my mind that I will make with it, just beautiful.
Hi there,
Discovered about you on V and Co. Your are sooo talented. I love your patterns. You are going to do really well. I hope I win one of your patterns on V's site.
It's all beautiful. I'm going to guess the tulip one. But they are all so pretty. Love your pattersn and fabric.
love your stuff, hopped over from V and Co.
I'm so glad to see some purple!! I just don't see it often enough. What beautiful designs!
v & co sent me your way, love your patterns. thanks for sharing your talents!
Sorry for the loss of your mother, I can't pick out the one she helped you make but she was a true inspiration to you and still is....amazing. She would be so proud of you.
The collection is lovely.
Amy--lovely fabric line, and your patterns are absolutely wonderful. Fun, fun!
Simply LOVE your collection. What a great way to honor your mother. Good luck to you from me :-)
Love the new collection - so pretty!

Beautiful fabric! I'll be waiting in line in February to buy some!
Fabulous stuff! I love everything you make! I am visiting from V & Co. So glad I found your blog and etsy shop! I will be adding your blog to my google reader! You are one busy lady! ;) My guess would be the flower with 3 petals.

You are such a talented lady. The Marabella range is just so WOW. What a wonderful tribute to you mother. Too hard to guess which one mum drew.
Amy, I am a fan! I love the feminine feel of Marbella and look forward to seeing it in February, just in time to put me in a spring mood!
Love the purple collection. I would guess that your mom drew the one that looks like a sunflower surrounded by three petals.
Just a guess.

Oh Kati your new line of fabrics is so special! I just love the colors and the designs, but the significance of the patterns is heartwarming! Marabella is beautiful, as I am sure your mother was, and your memories are of her! I think that the three petals with the large circle in the middle is the doodle...I used to doodle something similiar--it is a flower. Well, I know I will be buying your line--without question! Thanks so much for all of your work!
Your new line of fabrics is just fabulous! Can't wait to see them in the stores. But I am so clueless, I have no idea about which one was for your mom. Anyway, love them all!
Beautiful!
I recently heard about you on "V and Co."s blog and just wanted to say you rock!
I have had to stay home and out of work due to complications during my pregnancy, and crafting is the one thing keeping me sane!
(I'm usually a very outgoing, never home, gotta be doing something kind-of girl. but then the doctor told me I needed to quit work for a while and the Mr. took the keys.) So you are on the list of Heroes!
hollowangel5101@netscape.net
Popped over from V & Co. I love your patterns and fabric. Good luck with them. I'd guess that your mother's pattern is the tulip.
Great patterns, thanks!

Everything is beautiful. I like the flower with the 3 petals.

congratulations on your new fabulous line! hmm, was your mom's doodle the paisleys?
Great new line congratulations! I really think you need to send V and Co that little girl dress pattern...she is green with envy and lusting. Her post about you is very funny, and we all are amazed at your gung ho talent and ambition...stuff we'd all love to accomplish but have no 'know how' or backbone maybe...
Love your quilt patterns! Thanks for the generous giveaway!

congrats on the new collection! it looks super great!
i am deeply sorry for your lost, i think that the pattern of those small "star flowers" are the ones who were inspired by one of your moms art work...
i wish you well!!
I just found your site through V & Co. and love your inspirational work! Great job on your new fabric line!
I love your style- I can sew, but lack in the style-ish department!
Coming over from V. & Co. Your new fabric line is fabulous!! Congratulations :) I'll be visiting often--at least until I own all your patterns!

I'm guessing the fabric with the center circle and circle petals! My daughter is a survivor of thyroid cancer, and after seeing your fabrics I know this is the line I've been waiting for to make her first quilt. Thank you for your design!

javasa4@hotmail.com
I love your fabric! I didn't get to see it while we were at market. I didn't get to leave the booth very much, but it was a blast anyway.
I think the print that was your mothers is the little daisy one.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to us about your experience designing. I think it helped us a lot!!!
I just found your sight through V & Co. I love your work. It is beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful fabrics. So glad I found you courtesy of V & Co.
Beautiful...your talent is inspiring if not a little intimidating ;) Thanks for giving us ladies with hopes and dreams the inspiration to keep dreaming...someday we will be able to bring them to fruition just like you!
I admit I first came over to your blog to leave some "love" as requested by V, but now you're officially one of my reads in Google. I'm guessing the background fabric design w/4 small green tulips. Good luck, you are truly inspirational.
cute blog! love the rosette, need to give it a try!
joanne
You have amazing talent. How do you do it all? I live in Shelley & love going to Rigby just to drop in your store. That is usually the only reason I go to Rigby.
Beautiful collection, how special to have gotten the inspiration from your mom!
Crystal
I found you through V&Co. A girl could go broke over stuff like this you know! Such great talent you have!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
What a beautiful collection! I'd say that flower-looking thing in the upper left might be from your mom.....
Happy to find your blog.
