i have always loved Lotta's designs, and so excited to see the new fabric line! i love her clean designs. i would be inspired to fill my world with these fabrics...for a bag, on the couch, in the kitchen...everywhere!

[Ridgely Hoyt-Whitaker]

I LOVE the fresh designs and the color palette. I'm a quilter, so these inspire me to design something fresh and new.

[katie]

man o man, i am so excited for this collection. i'm a new-but-obsessed quilter, so i'd love to incorporate the fabrics into a cozy quilt. and maybe a skirt, too.

[Helen]

I'd make a lovely shift dress like the one in the photo, love these prints!

[krakatoa]

The fabric looks great. She has great style. I think I'll make new pillows with some. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

[Nicola]

I am into hand-quilting right now, so I would love to see these designs in a pretty modern quilt!

[Susan]

I love the dress in the photograph above, but I'd probably use lots of the fabrics in a bed quilt in a large zigzag pattern. I'd want these patterns to stay around for a long time!

[Jennie]

These prints are lovely. I'd love to have a chance to use them!

[Michele]

I'd love to make a quilt with those gorgeous fabrics!

[Leigh]

I'm thinking about making a small quilt for my new apartment. I love the clean colors.

[mollie]

i really need to make some cute little curtains with this!

[Kirstin]

With a fat quarter pack, I envision some sort of patcwork throw to add some color to our very neutral living room furniture. The mix of bold colors and neutral grays is just perfect.

[Chantelle]

Before I logged on to your site today, I thought to myself "I really need to sew myself up some placemats" - and the first thing I see is a placemat in super-fun, playful print in my favourite colour! Orange!
Her prints would also make great throw pillows for the couch or bed.
I'm lovin' it.

[holly]

two days ago i got a brand new baby niece. (yes, she is mine;) and i would make her the cutest quilt i ever did see with those squares...

[Melissa Hagan]

Oh thank you for including your non-NY followers! I am so excited about this new fabric line. One of the quilting blogs I follow got a hold of some of this fabric and was showing it off and I've been in love ever since. I love the mixture of yellow and gray, and my favorite print is the dandelion. I think I would make some fall napkins and a table runner or maybe even a shirt for myself?

[yurah]

YAY!!! I would love to make a quilt for my 1yo son!! I especially love the florine dusted plum fabric!

[kate]

Thanks for including those of us who aren't in New York! Looking at the gorgeous fabrics, I'm torn between two ideas: working up the nerve to try making my first piece of clothing, a dress like the one Lotta is wearing, or trying my first quilt. Maybe both!

[Kate]

I love Lotta and her style. The colors and patterns are beautiful. I could imagine making clothes or curtains with these. Thanks for including those of us who can't make it there in person.

[Amanda]

Gorgeous! I'd love to make some table linens.

[Jodanna]

Can't wait to get my hands on some of this! I'd love to make some pillows for my new couch out of some of this. Also a book rack for up on my son's loft. Fun stuff! Thanks for the giveaway!

[Sarah]

Beautiful fabrics!

[Erin Yelda]

I would definitely turn those beautiful suckers into cloth napkins for thanksgiving.

[2hippos]

The fabric is gorgeous. I'd love to use it in a quilt for my new living room, or rather, my soon-to-be-painted nad thus new-to-me living room.

[Linnea]

Ooh! I see whimsical curtains for a child's room, an pretty apron for me, new throw pillows on the couch... inspirational!

[deirdre]

I LOVE the tunic she has on; I would probably end up making something that evoked the same casual-but-not-informal feeling, like a brightly colored clutch!

[Mary on Lake Pulaski]

I've been drooling over Echo by Lotta Jandsotter since I first saw it and would love to make a quilt for my sun porch out of it. The colors are amazing!

[Jennifer]

This line of fabric is great! So much different than anything else out there. I would love to make a mismatched set of kitchen linens: tea towels, oven mitts and napkins!

[Amanda]

What a lovely giveaway!

This fabric is absolutely stunning! I would make matching twirly dresses for my daughter and myself! A tote bag or three!! Lovely little zipper pouches to cheer up a backpack. Oh goodness, a thousand wonderful things could be made! I love this entire line!

[Andrea]

What a great giveaway! This collection looks so incredibly nice and it inspires me to make a quilt and some nice summer skirts.

[Sarah]

I LOVE this line! I plan to make curtains using some of the grays and yellows. The feel of this design just fits in with my home so well.

[whitney]

I am torn between something fun for my son's nursery or a fabulous dog bed cover!

[Dianne]

I am a big fan of Lotta. I think I would make some stuff for my house. A table runner and some pillows.

[annri]

I would love to sew a Tova shirt (pattern & design by Jenny Gordy/Wiksten) with a new Lotta Jansdottir print! Thank you for the chance to win. :)

[eleanor rock]

I love love love Lottas prints, I would have to make a mini tea set for my son, complete with napkins, table cloth, coasters and a rabbit shaped tea cosy. There is something so fresh and vibrant about the colors and shapes that I just love.

[Carmella]

Love the graphics. How inspiring!

[Beth]

Wow! These are so beautiful in their simplicity. I love the dress Lotta is wearing in the photo and would probably try to incorporate the fabric into apparel or accessories of some kind. Maybe a similar shift style dress in a solid color with a print (or prints) as the border along the hem.

[cara]

i love them all! they are the perfect colors and patterns to make the "non-baby" baby bedding for our little girl due in january

[Rachel Lyn]

These fabrics are gorgeous! I would love to use the yellow flower print for a doll's dress. But I am also a quilter, and I think this collection would make such a beautiful quilt.

[Carmella]

Love the graphics. How inspiring!

[Cassie Edmondson]

skirts and napkins skirts and napkins!

[andria]

I'd love to make a quilt. the colors would cheer me up and get me through the long Utah winter.

[Karen]

I'd love to make a dress like the one in the photo-- but in the orange print. Beautiful!

[Camille]

I love the dandelion print [I think that's what it is! :) ] and the crosshatch!

[Gina]

Love this new line, it's vibrant and very nordic in feel. I would love to create something special in honor of my heritage!

[Brittany]

It is so hard to choose a favorite fabric! They are all so lovely. I would love to use the yellow and grey prints to make accessories for my master bedroom/bathroom, which we are in the process of redecorating using those colors. The large bubbly looking print would make a great shower curtain!

[kristymn]

Clothes for myself! All that fabric is too beautiful! Love it.

[Alecia]

Would LOVE to win this one. I've been a fan of hers for ages and am extremely excited about the new line (since I've never made time to do printmaking of my own!). I am inspired to make a bunch of bags! A combination of the soft prints with leather piping and handles. Think Fossil.

[Sally]

Echo is so bright and fresh, I would make some things for the kitchen that I would see every day - placemats, napkins, baskets or even a wallhanging.

[kristymn]

Clothes for myself! All that fabric is too beautiful! Love it.

[Jen]

Quilts and lots of them!
