I've long been a fan of Lila's work and am so excited to finally have her fabric in the shop!
What I like best about her designing are the palettes. They are fresh and bright without being too overwhelming. The prints are always balanced very well - some small, some large - and translate well into just about anything you'd want to sew.
On Lila Tueller's blog, she shared photos of her Spring Market 2012 booth. I love the adorable bags and garments she created! Check out her blog for more great images of her beautiful display.
If you need even more inspiration for what to do with this fabric, Riley Blake offers this super-cute (and free!) Blowfish Pincushion tutorial on their Cutting Corners website.

I want to share a little bit of this Bohemian Festival loveliness with one of you. Enter to win the 5 Fat Quarter bundle pictured above. Interested? Here's how to play: There are three ways to enter.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics!!! My favorite festival is the Covered Bridge Festival the first weekend in October in Elysburg, PA. Lots of great food and crafts as well as beautiful bridges and colorful foliage! FUN!
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is lovely - some of my favourite colours!
ReplyDeleteMy best festival memories are of the Ben & Jerry's festivals in Sugarbush, VT. They were held every year in the 90s and into the 2000s and I went every year until we moved to the West Coast ... I miss them, but I don't think they exist anymore. I like jazz festivals and folk festivals - anywhere you can listen to live music outside in the sun! I also love the Vancouver International Film Festival in October ...
Thank you for the giveaway!

I've not been to many festivals honestly. There is one in my hometown every year, but it's not really anything big and I haven't gone in years because it's not worth being in the heat for.
ReplyDeleteI love the County Fair. I love to see all the crafts and quilts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
I love Tulip Time festival. It is first Thursday, Friday, Saturday in May in Pella, Iowa. It is full of dutch treats, school age children dressed in dutch costums, and great shool bands. It is also time to have our annual quilt show.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteWe used to have a week long festival here in Boise, Idaho called the Boise River Festival. Sadly, it went bankrupt, which seems weird considering there were always soooo many people. Part of the tradition still remains, the hot air balloon portion. There is a night light where they all glow at dusk and then launches each morning, LOTS of hot air balloons in the park, it's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love to visit Craft Fair in my place :)
ReplyDeleteI can buy lots of lovely goodies and fabrics :)

My favorite festival is my hometown one on Halloween. It's called "Neewollah." (Halloween spelled backwards, Google it :) )
ReplyDeleteI loved the Cherry Blossom Festival in macon, GA when I lived there. Now that I live in NE PA, I will have to find a new favorite - I missed it this year, but I am planning on attending the Eagle Festival in Narrowsburg, NY next January. Thanks for the chance to win!

Favorite festival? The one I always wanted to attend was the LA Times Festival of Books. Haven't made it. Perhaps my favorite festival is the Quilt Festival in Clatskanie, OR (pop. 2,500). We hang our quilts outside and people go through town with a map, looking at them and voting on their favorites. Very small-town, very friendly. And last year one of my quilts was hung on the library, so I felt a small link to the Festival of Books. ;)
