Welcome to my 12 Days of Needful Things! I am grateful to know there are a lot of NEW Quilter’s & Stitchers following me here now than ever before. I want you ALL to know that this warms my heart in a big way. 2020 has been a big year of change…change that we will look back on and talk about as a big world event…like this… Do you remember the year we all “stayed home?” and so on. (Click on Links to find out more information)
For me, 2020 ‘s changes were very dramatic in my quilting life. Who am I kidding… my quilting life IS my life…hahaha…bear with me here before we begin the 12 Needful Things… I am not upset about 2020. I am an optimist…I found lots to LOVE about 2020. But here are a few things that changed significantly for me…
No travel...I used to travel two to three times a month, teaching for guilds, vending at a shows, traveling with quilters on an adventure, buying trips, regular visits to our California store and work & personal quilting retreats…all gone for 2020.
Re-Creating how we do business. Primitive Gatherings was a strong family business. But what do we do if we can’t attend a quilt show and sell our products? if we don’t have a class full of students? I guess we get on social media, start a group….(Stitch with Lisa) where I could fill the void of not being able to teach. I started sharing little videos on stitches, how to’s and then the LIVE video’s sharing what I am working on, tutorials and sharing my home life as well. In other words being available to those who needed some social interaction because the only place we were going was the grocery store, in fear mind you….I believe we still are in the infancy of our business transformation. We are now on YouTube, I have become a little more comfortable in front of the camera…We are working on a better set up for video/audio and learning our new equipment. We have big plans and in the end…we will make the best of 2020.
Personal care...being able to stay home allowed me the ability to take better care of myself… I hired an online Life Coach which helped with many issues, time management, work/personal life separation, weight loss, personal relationships, and learning how to celebrate my successes. These are just a few things that I am working on with her. It is all still a work in progress but I feel much more confident and in control than I have ever been before.
Collaborations..when you are unsure of the future…you work harder. I have two possibly three books coming out in 2021 with Martingale. We have four MODA fabrics lines with supporting pattern books coming in 2021. Two are regular cotton lines, one flannel, and one homespun. I have 2 more already in the works for 2022, this would have never happened before…to be this far ahead with my fabric lines. I do not recall how many other collaborations we will be involved in…I know we are in American Patchwork & Quilting in early summer of 2021…and a few more Moda All-Star books too!
Why am I telling you all this? As this year ends I want to change things for next year. We will be moving into a new Shop & Warehouse and then our retreat house. This will allow us to better to serve our quilting community. For our online community I want to offer more Stitch-Alongs, tutorials, Add a “quilty” subscription box in the alternating months we do not have a wool/stitchery box.
I do not know if we will have the Summer blocks of the weeks the same way as we have offered them for the past 15 years….and this event the 12 days of Needful Things will also change…but I promise the changes will be good and you will probably like it much better!
I can’t possibly thank you enough for your participation, loyalty, and friendship when we all needed each other this year. As the leader of Primitive Gatherings, I promise you we all give 100% in everything we do…We care and want our customers to be happy…Stitching is our happy place…
Now onto the Needful Things...Important Info first…please READ.
There will be 12 days…starting today…some will have multiple items some only one….you can keep your items in your wish list until the end…or not…shipping is free after $100. If you are keeping them in your cart they will clear after a certain amount of days…so add them wish list and then add them to the cart when you are ready to order. If the item is a pre-order it needs to go in a separate single order…
We have items in stock, however, we do not know if we will sell 5 or 500 so we may have to order additional items in, this takes time…so do not be in a hurry for your order…it is also the holidays….there are days we are shut down and employees are on vacation…if you wait to place your order at the end, know it will be well into January before it comes….
Please understand we are a SMALL business (do not compare us with major online shopping outlets)….we are expanding with the BUILD (click here for weekly updates) but for now we have two or three persons working to ship…we do work more than 1 shift at times like this…but this is not a normal time and we cannot hire just anyone off the street to get your orders right…we need to train them for a long time to know threads and designers and all that knit picky stuff…
Now back to the fun stuff.
Day 12-Fabric…Ahhhh yes, we all NEED fabric and I bet for most of you, stitched a lot of fabric this year! The fabric I would like to offer here in my next fabric release in April 2021. For this event we are featuring 20% off our pre-cuts and 10% off our kits and book. This will be a pre-order and only pre-orders of this fabric can be on the order with the April delivery.
Style is personal, it’s how we share something about ourselves without speaking. Urban Farmhouse Gatherings, it about mixing vintage prints with a modern color palette to create a mood that is warm, welcoming, and comfortable, while also being independent and distinctive. This time there are beautiful large scale floral prints to accompany our tried-and-true shirting-style prints. Just when you thought you knew me, right?
With Urban Farmhouse Gatherings II, make something beautiful for you home, or that special person in your life, by sharing a bit of yourself with them.
If you missed out on Urban Farmhouse Gatherings, now is the time to create with this beautiful line…If you are lucky to have Urban Farmhouse Gatherings, now it is possible to add to your collection for more prints in this beautiful, timeless palette with Urban Farmhouse Gatherings II!
Here is what my team and I have come up with for quilts and projects…
Interwoven Star-Finishes at 77″x 77″
This quilt looks hard but is easily constructed of large HST’s and rectangles. The light large beautiful print is featured in the center.
Cabin on the Ridge- Finishes at 70″x72″ If you know much about me you know what ridge it is named after…but I LOVED making this quilt. So fun, easy and it turned out so perfect and Jake quilted it sooooooooo beautiful! This so far is eveyone’s favorite from the 6, but we are not quite done making them all yet…so that can change.
Snowflake Star- Finished at 85″x108″ Now do not be fooled…this quilt looks hard but those blocks are big…and I know you all know how easy those HSTs are to make now…So this quilt features one dark grey and 6 light prints! Sure to be a classic on our bed this winter! ( next winter for you)
Clematis- Finished size is 69″x 78″ By far the easies quilt in the book…The center are a beautiful fussy cut clematis flower. This floral is so intricate and beautiful!
Trellis Flower Garden- 72″x 81″ We are stitching these strips of flower as I write this…beautiful fabrics and easy wool appliquรฉ compliment the wools and cotton combination!
Now all the above quilts will be in this book…Urban Patchwork Gatherings…It is on sale for 20% off during our 12 Days…also…this is not going to be the actual cover of the book..
Do you have this book? This new fabric will work with this book too!
Here are the projects from my pervious book…just a little more eye candy this Sunday….
Hang in there with me. I know this post is long….but we can’t forget about the PRE-CUTS!!!
Precuts again are 20% OFF! Only til the end of the year!
I will be posting and video-ing a lot of about these NEW quilts and the pillow projects as we finish them up and create a couple more single patterns as well! It is hard promoting fabrics that will not be out in the world until April 2021 but we have our order in and if we need to adjust it will still may be able to…but not for long. I am also using this fabric for Sewcialites sew- along with Fat Quarter Shop!
I have a F8 bundle of this line ready for one of you!!!…if you read all the way to the end you can leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite fabric line from Primitive Gatherings is for you….If you have never sewn with my fabrics…time to start!!!! lol…. I will post winners for each post on Christmas Day!!!!
Have a great Sunday you all …and I may pop up live today in our STITCH group..with something fun!
All for now…Lisa & the hardest working Quilt Shop staff at Primitive Gatherings!!!
Hi, Lisa! Eager to go check this out, but want to comment first that I’d have a hard time picking between redwork gatherings and indigo gatherings, but since I love red and “white (light)” quilts, I’ll say redwork gathertings! Thank you for what you do for us! Love you <3
Hi, Lisa! My favorite line to date is Flower Garden Gatherings. I love neutrals, and these especially. Iโm using my stash of these with some blues to make your pattern, Take It Easy … a perfect outlook for 2021! Thanks for so many wonderful fabrics and patterns to create with! You rock!
Ever optimistic Lisa. Your posts are informative and newsy. Your creativity is boundless. Looking forward to your new endeavors. Very Mherry Christmas to you, Nick, the boys, and spectacular staff.
I can’t just choose one, Lisa. I have most of them. I love Snowman Gatherings, Redwork Gatherings and the Flannel Gatherings. All of your fabrics are luscious!
My favorite fabric line is probably redwork gatherings. I truly have enjoyed them all…I love and admire vintage redwork quilts.. may be that’s why? They usually have a story to tell!
My favorite of your fabric lines is the one Iโm working with at any given time. Haha. Right now itโs Redwork Gatherings. Next will be American Gatherings. I love them all!! I saw your new flower garden gatherings when I picked my quilt up from Luke. Oh my. That is even prettier than the first flower garden gatherings!! Keep on doing what you do!!
I LOVE the Redwork Gatherings – I have a pile of it ready to be tackled end of December as my bonus and reward for staying centered all Holiday long!!! Iโve got the panel also – cannot wait to tackle that!
Now Iโd love the โWeโre Better Togetherโ pillow pattern!!! So much to do and so little time! LOL
Well I have to agree it is so very hard to choose as every thing that comes out is on my wish list but I Iove the Needle and Thread Gatherings collection.
Favorite line from PG is hard to decide but perhaps Redwork Gathering or one Iโm starting a quilt with tomorrow, Indigo Gathering. Perfect for January.
I love your Redwork Gatherings. Hope to make a red and white quilt after the first of the year and want to use that fabric. Have already purchased your pattern. Merry Christmas!
My favorites of all your fabrics are the flannels. I LOVE them. Next would be wools. I asked for the swatch book for
Christmas. You do this the best of anyone I have ever seen. I am really looking forward to the new Christmas line of fabric next summer. I am pretty sure that will be my new favorite. I recently worked on a pattern by another designer and the instructions and pattern was awful to me. I realized I have been completely spoiled by the organized and thoughtful way you do things, Lisa. And again, I am so thankful for you and all you do.
Difficult choice, but Iโm liking Urban Farmhouse because itโs different from what I generally gravitate toward. Merry Christmas to you and your crew. ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ
First of all thanks for all you and your staff do for us!! My favorite lines so far were the first two you came out with. But Iโve loved them all and your flannel is the best along with your PG Muslins in different shades!! Keep up the great work thanks ๐ฅฐ
All your fabrics are fantastic but Iโll have choose Indigo Gatherings! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Merry Christmas to you, Nick and your sons and your staff!
I think my favorite fabric line is the one that comes out next. In other words, a new line is coming out? Itโs better than the last one and I cannot resist!
Iโm a big fan of your grey lines, but I have to say, the Farmhouse Flannels are yummy! I just ordered the white/cream flannel from your CA store to make Baby Boy, from the September the wool box,
You make it very very hard to choose one line. I love your flannels, they are so luscious and soft. I love to just hug them. The colors are delightful and coordinate between the lines, it is hard not to find something to love. Thank you for all your work and your inspiration.
Hi Lisa, Iโm so hooked on everything Primitive! My favorite at this typing is red work gathering although Iโm very anxious to get my American gathering! Thank you fir creating so much beauty!!!
I love the distinction in color and design of your quilts! I don’t have a favorite, I think I like them all! My hope is someday to visit your shop. Thank you for all the inspiration!
My favorite is Redwork Gatherings. I love traditional so this really fits that need. I have done many of your BOMs and loved them. You are all awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I love Farmhouse Flannels II because it was my first flannel to sew with and Iโve learned so much about starching and precision work. Thank you Lisa!!
How can you expect us to pick one favorite?? I loved Indigo Gatherings also the Snowman Gatherings ( I think there were 2 lines of that, right? Loved them both), also the flannels and Redwork Gatherings. Too many great ones to pick just one!
Anything with red seems to call my name lately. I love the classic look of Redwork Gatherings. . . just think how versatile it is: Red combines well with your grays of Urban Farmhouse and with Indigo Gatherings. Thank you for the way you have adapted to help us all during this strange year!
Picking a favorite fabric line is like picking a favorite child! I love them all, but would have to say Indigo Gatherings and Red Work Gatherings for right now. Although your new line is pretty spectacular!
I think my favorite is Redwork Gatherings, as I love red/white quilts. I’m also working on Twilight Garden and it’s my first experience with your flannels. I love the feel of it, so I want to work some more with your flannels too.
Thank you for all you and your employees do for us. I love Redwork Gatherings. I am looking forward to all your new lines of fabric coming this year. Take care.
Oh, to just pick one! I’m guessing red work gatherings, if I have to pick just one. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and all the wonderful workers you have.
I canโt just say one line, but absolutely love all your flannels! They are so soft and the colors are beautiful. Presently working on my second quilt with the red work line, the reds all go together so nicely.
I love all of your fabric lines! Love your luscious flannels. But if I have to choose one it would be snowman gatherings. I collect snowmen so I am enjoying making projects with this line.
I am new to the quilting world, but completely and forever addicted to it. If my world would let me I would piece everyday, all day, but alas it will not. I have not used one of your fabric lines and never had a desire to make something from colors in Farmhouse Gatherings, however they are gorgeous. I especially like the Snowflake Star Pattern. Thank you for sharing!
Well, every time a new line comes out itโs my new favorite! Right now Iโm thinking itโs going to be hard to top Redwork Gatherings! Iโm currently working on Take It Easy and loving it!
It is hard to select just one, but I would say Old Glory Gatherings. Creams, reds, blues, sheep, stars & stripes; what is not to love! I have fabrics from the Urban Farmhouse Gatherings line, and am looking forward to adding pieces from this new collection to it for even scrappier quilts.
Thank you for everything you do for us, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
So excited for your Urban Gatherings II to add to my collection of Urban Gatherings I !!!!!!
Canโt wait to see the larger print designs!
Merry Christmas Lisa and yo your family!
Also, really enjoyed the tour of your home and how you decorated for the holiday!!!๐๐ ๐ปโค๏ธ
Lisa- there are so many favorites to chose from but I return to American Gatherings. Thank you for all you do- youโve helped many of us through tough times.
Hi Lisa, First of all , you are absolutely the best. Your generosity is overwhelming! I had(used) and have many of your fabric collections I guess, because of anticipation, Iโm excited for American Gatherings. Have a fantastic And Blessed Christmas. Pam Marcis.
My new favorite – Urban Farmhouse Gatherings II. Just pre-ordered Clematis kit (love), book and precuts!! Thanks for making 2020 tolerable, Lisa and Crew!!!
Hard to say what would be my favorite. Love the Farmhouse Flannels and I really like your Primitive Muslins for my stitchery project quilts. Currently using an Urban Farmhouse layer cake to make bowl cozies which are turning out fabulous. Can’t say I know of any stinkers that you produced. Must say that after discovering and falling in love with your SBOWs this year I was disappointed to hear they are changing. Not complaining, just had enough change for one year. LOL Looking forward to see what happens next. I wish you, your loved ones and the whole Primitive Gatherings staff the Merriest Christmas and the Happiest of New Years!
I love every single collection you have ever designed so to choose one is very difficult. I love the primitive muslin, the wool & needle flannels, and homespun gatherings. I loved little seasonal gatherings, old glory gatherings, and needle and thread gatherings. I quess if I had to choose one it would be Snowman Gatherings. How you continue to create such awesome collections for us is amazing.
All of your lines are great and I’m very sorry I missed the first Urban Gatherings line. I’m not missing this one. Current favorite is Red Work Gatherings as it’s what I’m working with right now. Like so many other comments I’d like to say THANKS for all you do for the quilting community!
I just discovered you and your company this year. Haven’t used any of your fabric lines but love your flannels. Do mostly wool applique …love your patterns. I would have to say urban gatherings II as I like larger prints and modern styles. Your staff and videos are wonderful.
I love Indigo gatherings and Urban farmhouse. Blue and Grey. Thank you for all you and the PG staff do for all of us.!!!! Please know you make us feel like we are part of a large quilting/stitching gathering family.
This is such a hard question because I love them all, along with the projects you create to go with them! But if I have to pick, it would be Farmhouse Flannels I & II – I’m using them now to make a wedding quilt for my daughter and son-in-law (a socially distanced, Covid wedding we watched via Zoom this fall).
My favorite line was Indigo Gatherings. Perhaps I should say, โMy favorite line โisโ Indigo Gatherings. I am working on the first of four quilt kits and then there is my fat quarter tower.
It is very difficult to choose, but must say Old Glory Gatherings is my favorite. This line was the introduction and beginning of my love for Primitive Gatherings.
No matter what you design, it seems to always hit a sweet spot!๐
Snowman gatherings is my favorite. Iโm new to doing wool projects and really trying to fine tune my stitches. Itโs been a wonderful way to finally relax when Iโm not working at the hospital! Thank you for all you all do!
My favorite line is Redwork Gatherings! I love a classic red and white quilt. I’m so glad you are doing this again this year! Sounds like some wonderful things are happening for you and your small business. Best wishes!
I always like the newest line the best . . . Impossible to choose only one. Thank you for all you and your team have done to make 2020 better for me. ๐
I just found out that a dear friend (who’s on my list to make something in 2021) has redone her home in the farm house style. This collection will be perfect for her quilt gift. Love your collections.
Of course I love all your lines. Your flannel is the softest, nicest flannel. But I also love Redwork Gatherings and Indigo Gatherings. Two color quilts are so appealing.
My favorite is Urban Farmhouse Gatherings flannel. Making three quilts out of it. Almost finished. Making all three at one time, so fun, when one is finished, so will three.
My favorite is urban farmhouse. Iโm doing cream and sugar with this fabric line and itโs beautiful! Iโm also doing the same colors in wool for heirloom rose and twilight garden and the tulip Matt. I just canโt get enough of it!โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
It seems unfair to choose just one since theyโre all so wonderful, but given I have to I would say Urban Farmhouse Gatherings. Merry Christmas to you and your staff.
I have never sewn with one of your primitive gatherings, but I have made a pillow with your woven square design, when you placed it in one of FQS Sew Sampler boxes. I loved making it with Give Thanks fabric collection. I look forward to your new fabric collection in 2021!
I suspect I have purchased fabrics from nearly every Primitive Gatherings line many at the booth in Paducah. However, Urban Farmhouse Gatherings I is my favorite…so far!
Well my favorite right now is Redwork Gatherings because I am working on a quilt made from it. I have to say though that I am drooling over the UFG 2 which I will happily combine with my stash of UFG 1. They should make a beautiful quilt. Thanks for all you do!
I believe it was called garden gatherings. It had lighter colors and looked like a garden. I made my Dear Jane quilt from it. Worked beautifully, but a little different from the usual darker reproduction prints used in that pattern. Of course I love them all. I have a corner of my sewing room for the fat quarter bundles.
Omgosh…a favorite PG line? I loved snowman gatherings and cringe every time I have to cut into it! But Iโm also in love with urban farmhouse…..not ready to cut into that yet either.
๐
It is hard to pick a favorite with so many beautiful choices. But I choose Farmhouse Gatherings because the word โFarmhouseโ reminds me of home and my Grandmotherโs house. ๐
Oh, Lisa, if youโve read any of my previous comments, you know I love them all. My favorite probably is Liberty Gatherings because I feel like I really learned to piece accurately with those projects. I was a very new quilter and wool appliquer, and I made virtually every project in the book. When I ran out of Liberty Gatherings, I found some Old Glory Gatherings on etsy to take me down the home stretch, and I loved that, too!
Love your reflection of 2020. Great insight to the life of a professional quilter/designer. Always on the go. Letโs all slow down when weโre free to roam again. Iโve always loved your Indigo line.
My favorite PG line? Impossible to choose, as I love them all as they come out! Until several weeks ago it was the Redwork Gatherings, then American Gatherings and I don’t even have it yet! I just know that whatever line Lisa comes out with, it will be a winner! And to think I had you pictured as leisurely sitting around enjoying the holiday w a 2020 PG mug in your hand. Silly me! Do you ever sleep? Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
There are so many lines I really love – but – although this may not be a โlineโ per say – my quilts constantly include your primitive muslins. My favorite coloration is pie crust – but every one is fabulous. Your โinventionโ of this fabric collection is the best thing since the Hershey kiss!
My fav line(s) are the Snowman Gatherings! Love the motifs on those collections! Looking forward to your upcoming changes for 2021. I, too, haven’t minded the staying home part of 2020….I’ve gotten a lot accomplished. Gotta add, however, that there is plenty more to do! Ha!
My favorite PG fabric line is Snowman Gatherings I and II. Since moving from CO to Northern AL 20 years ago, I really miss the snow, building snowmen and snowwomen, making angels in the snow and skiing. Snowman Gatherings just puts a smile on my face when I bring out the quilts for winter. Thx Lisa for the wonderful fabric.
I agree. Has to be the snowmen gatherings for me! I hoard the individual pieces I have left and sprinkle them in on work that I know will b staying home with me!!
you and your work is fascinating all your lines fun and your tiny blocks of half square triangles….your doing just super work and I really enjoy reading your emails….thanks bobbie
WOW! That is hard, can I say all of them. I’m liking Indigo Gatherings, Red Work Gatherings and Urban Farmhouse. Can’t wait to visit your new shop when it opens.
Thank you for all you do! I love all your lines and really looking forward to American Gatherings ๐. Bought a bundle of redwoek gatherings and have all my blocks cut like Linda did . Need to find the time to piece !! Merry Christmas to you and your great crew !
My favorite fabric line of yours is Star and Stripe Gatherings. The colors are so well saturated and look fabulous together! Thanks for the opportunity.
Redwork Gatherings is my current favorite. I bought lots of yardages of it in all the prints I love it so much! I am using many of the prints in a quilt I am in the process of making using creams, reds, blacks and evergreen. I love your fabric lines and your greys are also amazing. I want to make a grey themed quilt next. I can’t wait to see more pics of your quilts, they will be lovely. I need to for sure buy your newest line to add to my stash. Have a great day!
You have done an Amazing job of reinventing yourself this year! Canโt wait for the new shop- Iโll make the trek from SF just to check it out!
My favorite fabric lines? Tough question. Canโt identify just one! Most favorite is Little Gatherings if thatโs the name of the line with the gorgeous cheddar, green, gold with tiny flowers. I have loved the snowmen gatherings and buy more any time I run across any. I also have loved indigo gatherings not just for the colors (whatโs not to love about blue and white) but the precious sayings on the selvages are priceless ! Canโt leave out red work gatherings and urban farmhouse. Whew! Iโm a huge fan!
Well there isn’t a line I don’t like but I would have to say my very favorites are any of the red, white and blue lines. I think I have them all and I’m waiting on the one in Jan. I am really interested in the new one coming in April. I haven’t played with those colors yet and it’s like getting a new box of crayons. I’m so excited for your new facilities and can’t wait to visit!
Hi Lisa,
Indigo Gatherings is my favorite. I have a bundle and waiting for that special project. But oh no wait! If I use it I wonโt have it anymore ๐ฉ
Happy Holidays – kathy
I like them all, but it seems Iโve purchased more of your patriotic lines. I have a terrible time deciding how to use them (is this project special enough to use my PG stash on it?). Maybe I just want them for eye candy and petting! Thanks for helping us get through this year.
Oh my love love love the new line! Pick one favorite? Hard to do since you haven’t released one that I don’t like (and trust me I have some of all of them-lol), but if I must pick one then it would be Homestead Gatherings, I LOVED the reds, so rich and nice blueish red. I’m excited to see all the new ideas you have in store for us, you know I’ll be right there to support you. I wish I was closer, I’d offer to come help with the shipping, I’m sure I could manage to pull/pack orders since I’m well versed on most all of your products (yep I’m a real fan). Love ya, miss ya, and can’t wait to see you again in person! HUGS from CA!
I certainly love most of youโre fabric lines but I really do love the greys in Urban Farmhouse! Would also love to live in one!! Jill (southern Ontario Canada)
Well, I sound boring, but my favorite fabric is the primitive muslin flannels. I’ve used them as backgrounds for several wool applique quilts and love how soft but sturdy they are, and they make the wool colors pop. I never get tired of using them. They are great for the back of a quilt, too.
I love anything Primitive Gatherings but if I have to choose I like Little Gatherings and the Wool & Needle Flannel Gatherings!! And Indigo Gatherings and Redwork Gatherings and Snowman Gatherings, I could go on and on, love them all!!
Hello, Lisa, and group. You are incredibly new to me. Iโve been thinking wool work, and a mutual virtual friend told me about your Christmas Shop Hop. So, your fabric line is new….Floral Gatherings would be my choice….for my use. Iโm in a new in 2002, with a lot of browns, and terra cotta tossed in. However, I have done another Farmhouse Country line and loved the greys. Iโm excited to find your videos on stitching and receiving my Gnome kit.
Hi Lisa, my favorite of all your lines is “Seasonal Little Gatherings”… the beautiful rich colors and wonderful seasonal prints. I just LOVE it. Looking at it now I’m reminded how much I want to make your “Home for the Holidays” quilt still on my to do list. It is hard to have a favorite when they’re all so scrumptious!! I always enjoy your 12 days, and am looking forward to the wonderful joy you’re sure to bring in the future… Thank you and all the PG ladies for the much appreciated hard work! Hugs, Jakey
It so hard to make a choice. I love them all. Snowman Gatherings is what Iโll post. And I love your videos and live. I feel like we are best friends and you have helped me in 2020 to get through. Thank you.
My favorite turned out to be Urban Farmhouse Gatherings after I made Brigitte Heitlandโs quilt โThose Treesโ out of it using one of the light grays as the background and making the trees out of dark grays and blacks. The only other fabric was some gold for the stars. I know it sounds crazy, but it turned out perfect. My niece just loved it!
Right Lisa, pick just one line??? I love them all, but am a sucker for snowmen so would have to say Snowman Gatherings….but I’m really starting to get into the more modern grays now. Have a very Merry – and take some time for yourself!
Canโt do it! I love Redwork Gatherings, Indigo Gatherings, Snowman Gatherings, Urban Farmhouse…. I cannot pick just one!!! Depends on my mood for the day. ๐
I love both of the Farmhouse Flannel lines. Used both in a quilt for my son for Christmas. So so soft- my husband wants one now and he didn’t think he needed a quilt before I made this one.
I’m going to go back to the beginning and pick Little Gatherings…I loved that line. And then a most recent favorite is Redwork Gatherings. I’m making the Christmas Sampler BOM from Fig Tree out of this line and it is absolutely beautiful!
I love so many of your fabric lines.so it is really impossible to pick just one. At this moment I will say snowman gatherings is my favorite. All things snowmen make me happy.
I am a patriotic kinda girl, so Liberty Gatherings and then of course your upcoming new line coming out in January. Love what you and your great crew come up with, keep designing on, it is appreciated.
I don’t know if I can pick just one line to be my favorite. I love the Star and stripe gatherings and all the projects to pick from the book. And I also love the Redwork gatherings line. working on several projects from both lines. thank you for your beautiful fabrics.!!!
While I love all you lines Urban farmhouse is my favorite. Many in my family are more contemporary decors than I am. The grey lines let me work in prints I love and gift to them in colors that blend into their decor.
So hard to pick a favorite! Urban Farmhouse would have to be a favorite. I recently finished a quilt in that line, was supposed to post it on our website for sale, but I’m afraid I’ve fallen hard for it and it will remain at my home. My husband reminds me frequently that I can’t keep them all!
Always excited for your 12 needful things. My favorite line is Redwork Gatherings because red is my favorite color. It is followed closely by American Gatherings. However, Iโm in love with my throw I made from your Farmhouse Flannels collection. Do I have to chose? LOL.
Love, love, love the Indigo Blues. Though I have been drawn to the grays for a while and just havenโt made the leap. Urban Farmhouse III might just do it!
I have to say Redwork gatherings is my favorite line of fabric thatโs been out but this new one especially with the big prints might be my new favorite.
To be honest..I haven’t actually made anything with your fabric line. I got hooked on wool. I know you must have magical hands because your creations are spectacular. I must say your videos are so very helpful. Thank you for sharing and letting us into your home and making us apart of your family.
Oh boy, I loved Floral gatherings, Flower garden gatherings and Urban Farmhouse I may just have hoarded a ton!! SO very happy there is going to be a Farmhouse II !! Sorry Lisa couldn’t pick one!! Just love your fabrics!
All are beautiful! Right now it is Redwork Gatherings as I want to make a few red and white quilts….. bet they would complement Urban Gatherings. That will be next!!
Love, love, Love all the fabric lines since I’ve started quilting. Very hard to pick so I would state all of them (that I’ve gotten my hands on) lol! ๐ Merry Christmas to all!
Redwork Gathering is my favorite of your fabric lines so far. Just beautiful! Congrats on your new Primitive Gathering “campus”. Loved watching the video of what it will look like!
Hi Lisa and PG crew members. Iโm torn between Urban Farmhouse and Red work lines. Both lines are beautiful and the fabric is fantastic to work with. Really just love all your lines
All of them!!! But my most favorite have been Indigo and Redwork Gatherings. I am working on an Urban Farmhouse project now and โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ the prints!
Homestead Gatherings if I have to pick one but I also have really enjoyed sewing up all the Snowmen Gatherings collections too. Thank you for all the great collections!
So hard to pick one!!!
Love Urban Farmhouse!! And Redwork Gatherings, and all your Luscious flannels, & Indigo Gatherings, & Snowman Gatheringsโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Love Love Love Red Work Gatherings!! Your flannels are the best…so soft and it does not fray! Once I finish Twilight Garden (on my last border) I will start hand stitching the panel of Red Work ~ exciting!
I love all of your fabric lines. Itโs like asking, which of your children do you love the most? But I am a little partial to snowman gatherings and rework gatherings! Keep the creativity flowing… you are so gifted!
I love all your fabric lines. But I especially love the larger florals on Urban Farmhouse Gatherings II. The grays look awesome..Can’t wait to see them in person.
I look forward to your needful things year end posts, it’s great to see what you can’t live without. Definitely hard to pick only one favorite from all the beautiful work you have created ,but for me Redwork Gatherings wins my heart. Ty for all you do!
I am currently working on a Christmas gift quilt made with Lisa’s Farmhouse flannels II, so that is my current favorite. Happy holidays to you and the staff!
I have used your wools, flannels and homespun in many of my projects. All work so well with patterns both yours and some others. Hard to pick just one project. Have enjoyed having you at a guild meeting also.
My favorite fabric line seems to be whichever one you’ve just released … today it’s Urban Gatherings, yesterday it was Redwork Gatherings. Keep it up, Lisa! Thanks for the opportunity and for ALL you do.
I have been using the INDIGO gatherings for the blockhead 3 this year as it is coming to the end I must say I have enjoyed working with it worried if I had enough, bought excess (another future project) and did add a different line with a large floral print! to my blocks ! My shelves have red work flower garden and urban gathering .looking forward to your new books what a year! thankful for all u do
Starting off the 12 days with a bang for sure! I look forward to this every year. You’ve been part of the glue, holding some of us together thru some tough times, Lisa. You’re courage, determination and perseverance has been inspiring. Thx for a you do for the quilting community ๐
I guess it would have to be the Indigo Gatherings but, on the other hand, I am so partial to red, so it might be Redwork Gatherings. So hard to choose.
I have been working with Farmhouse flannels lately and love them. I received some in our last wool box with a pattern. They worked up so well and felt so good that I went to my local quilt shop and bought more so I could make the quilt larger.
Love love love Snowman Gatherings the best of all, but have not seen one of your lines yet that I did not like! Keep up the good work Lisa and you are definitely keeping us motivated.
I like so many of your fabric lines and seem to want them all! My current favorite would be Flower Garden Gatherings because I have a fat quarter bundle just waiting for it’s turn under my needle!
How do you possibly pick a favorite fabric line? I love them all! You never disappoint in variety and color! For now, Farmhouse Gatherings is my favorite line, but that will probably change when the Americana line comes out after January 1. Thanks for all you do! I wish I could buy everything!!!! โค๏ธ
I love all your fabrics, but Snowman Gatherings makes me so happy! Iโm sure I have every one!! Have a blessed Christmas with your family and thank them for sharing you with us๐
Hi Lisa – I enjoy all of your posts – house, life, business, quilts, family. I am lucky to live about an hour away from the shop and love to visit to soak up all the inspiration. I really appreciate the informational videos like how you starch your fabric. i purchased the Juki sewing machine you have highlighted in previous years and could not be happier. Thank you for all that you do and share to make quilting better. I also could not pick a favorite fabric ๐ Happy Holidays!
I love your Indigo Gatherings and also a line from a few years back that was the beautiful rainbow of reproduction colors. I can’t remember the name, unfortunately.
I still like Floral Gatherings. It was in the very first issue of MSQCโs magazine and I purchased it at your shop (both magazine and fabric) Still love that one, although I have to say I love them all! The flannels, the reds, the blues …. on and on๐ฅฐ
Its the impossible question! I love all of your lines, depending on what im doing, so im going to pick farmhouse flannels. Some flannels are not as touchable as yours are, and the feel is my favorite, your muslin flannel is my favorite colors. I pet them every time i come in, sorry
I love all things Primitive Gatherings, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Urban Farmhouse Gatherings. It is always fun to see your next best line when they come out.
It is hard to choose one, but I guess the Indigo – I love those blues! Then thereโs the reds, oh I love red, so much! I belong to your monthly club, but have yet to use the fabric- it looks so pretty on my shelf.
Your YouTube channel is great- I love seeing the real projects, not just the pictures on a pattern- they look so much better when you can see all the detail.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas- look forward to all the exciting things you have planned for the coming year!
I think I love all the fabric lines (have not met one I did not like yet!) – the ones I keep coming back for more of are the flannels they are so soft, warm and stich up so NICE!!!
I will say personally I like Farmhouse flannels….but my girls love Urban Gatherings and I made each of them a quilt for Christmas. I can’t wait! Perfect fabric line for the twenty something crowd!
lakeside gatherings. i could not get enough of that collection. the yellow pop was magnificent
an the contrasts were exceptional
thank you for all that you do for us out here sometimes just getting a note thru the email lightens up my life an gives me an opportunity to just sit an read an gets my head into a place of wanting to go an design or just make something that puts a smile on my familyโs face
because iโm doing something i love an you redirect my thoughts to go out an sew when sometimes i just donโt know what to do you give me exciting redirection. thank you for being you
Originally, my favorite was the Snowman Gatherings BUT I also love the Redwork & Indigo Gatherings. Itโs very hard to pick one as I love the Little Gatherings too and your new line Urban Farmhouse Gatherings II is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your personal life with us. Itโs fun to watch you and your family grow. Merry Christmas Lisa.
My favorite line of yours is the current one that you come out with. Each is better than the last.
I LOVE that you changed it up and added larger prints in this line.
I do love the indigo ones, and the redwork, and the flannels,… I could go on & on!
