okay i know that was totally mean of me to do a far away shot of my new line with no explanation other than "i have no time!" but i really am so ridiculously excited about this one that i wanted to make it super special and not just put up like two pictures and say "ta-daaaa" and that's it. i def want a bigger "TA-DAAA" going on with this one well because...
i'm pretty sure this is my favorite one. i basically put all my favorite in one line.
first off we have our navy's teals grays and emerald. say what? yeah, i said emerald.
this time around we introduced emerald into the mix and with the navy it just looks fantabulous. of course it looks pretty sweet with the other colors too, but something about emerald and green just makes me super happy like preppy happy or something like that...maybe like a peacock happy? i don't know i just know i like it.
anyways... we have our pinks, lime greens, teals and grays coming back... and we are all very happy about that.
this line has some great stash builders. it's basically not hoarding if you are "building" a stash... these cluster dots are one of my fav. well they all are but i especially love these dots.
the idea of creating a line with stash building in mind i had to include of course some pin dots and another of my favorite the V print. :) you know cause i'm V and co... get it V print...V and co... Vanessa...okay then.
in this line i also included some pretty little modern sprouts, bold ikat, and vintage flowers among other things.
and well you know it can't be a V and Co line if it didn't have some kind of specialty ombre type thing in it.
this time we included color block ombre. and yes, we have patterns that will go just for these so shops can show off some of the cool stuff you can do with it.
here's one sneak peek of what i've been sewing with the color block ombre. i can NOT wait to see what you guys do with it!!!!
i also cant wait to show you the other patterns i've created for this line. :) soon.
color me happy makes me so darn happy. the color and design are all my fav. so color me happy is a perfect name.
color me happy will debut at fall market 2013 and will ship to stores in MARCH 2014
hey but...so guess what...
not only do we have these awesome colors in fabric we also have a box of aurfil thread JUST to go with this line! (i'll be selling them in my shop when i get them in stock)
AAAAAAACKKKKK! *pinch* yeah i can pretty much just sit and stare at them both and sigh with happiness.
okay but seriously...i can't just sit here for too long, i have SO much more to do till market which is 2 weeks away it's not even funny.
but i want to hear what you think!
so go ahead and tell me what you think and i'll pick one person to get a free jelly roll (ahem that's like kind of scandalous because it hasnt even come out yet)
GO!
we'll talk soon. ;)

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 435 Newer› Newest»oh wow - this has got to be the best collection ever - the navy and emerald with the pink just does it for me :-)
You had me at emerald....
I love the colors--blues and greens are my faves. and the little bird tracks prints, and the flowers. they are all great!
Count me in for this line. It's speaking to me.
Beautiful!! So many great prints!
Pretty! I'm a stash builder! Not a hoarder!
So happy to see the green and navy together. This combination was popular when I was in high school, 1960-1963. I love the entire line especially the lime green.
I think I am now officially in love with emerald and navy!!!!! WhooHoo!! Love. This. Line.
It's gorgeous--as are all your lines
WOW! Love this collection :) Im like Homer Simpson when he looks at doughnuts, sat here mouth open and drooling lol :)x
My stomach kinda turned, because I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to afford everything!!! These are SO beautiful and wonderful! I love the colors and I definitely love the prints! I love the emerald color as well. I'm excited about the Aurifil thread as well! At least Christmas is coming soon to collect some GC's.
Love this new line...but then I have loved every line a lot. It
would be so fun to win some now when it is not available yet.
Thanks for a chance to win some.
Fantastic colours - absolutely yummy.
Good luck at quilt market! Love your new line. So many of them seem like they could potentially go with so many other fabrics. Way to go!! Great name too. Maybe if I buy enough of it to "build my stash" I can also swim in it (like Uncle Scrooge swimming in his money!)
You design the loveliest fabric! I have simply colour lined up for my next quilt but I think this one is even nicer :)
so pretty! love all the stash builders and the special ombre!!
I am absolutely in love, love, love with this new line. You can "Color me Happy". Especially if I win!
LOVE! I think I'll need to secretly order the entire collection in phases so the hubby doesn't freak out. ;) Can't wait to get it and start quilting! We just had our first baby and I think she will need a quilt, pillows and other accessories with these prints. Congrats! mfrapp_83 {at} yahoo {dot} com
I am pretty darn sure that I would sell my soul for this jelly roll! Simply AWESOME :)
I loved Simply Color and Simply Style, both so versatile, but this is even better, can't wait to add it to my stash - I have so many ideas of how to use it buzzing in my head already!!
I think this is my favorite Vanessa. Oh that navy!
Really love this line!! Can't wait to get some to sew myself!!
OMGosh! There is so much that is so awesome about this line! But I am sooo in love with the ombré stripes! Gonna be hard to have to wait till March!
dots! i love the dots (and your fancy v's, too) but the dots! and emerald! i was squinting at the pictures in your other post, thanks for the proper introduction!
I love the colors, but I think the best part is the prints! The sprout one and the color dots are especially my favorites. They're all so beautiful, congratulations on another wonderful line! :)
The greens are fantastic. It is really a great collection. I think it is your best yet!
Color me happy indeed! Just looking at those fabrics makers me happy. Loving the V-print and those gorgeous vintage flower sprints!
Oh my goodness, I think its my favorite so far too! You are amazingly talented. I especially love the emerald and navy as well, I'm currently doing my living room in peacock, so that's no surprise. :) I also really love the dots and the little sprouts. So cute! So, I'm curious how you go about designing a fabric line. Maybe when you get a minute you can share some insider details?
I love it! Please say we are getting this line in the UK. If not, then I NEED to win!
Wow! So nice!
I´d love to hear something about your design process. Do you sit down and draw the graphics by hand or are you using a computer right from the beginning? That would be so interesting to hear!
The colours and prints are just gorgeous... got to get some of these. Well done!
Oh my gosh - it's a beautiful collection and I can't believe I have to wait until March to get my little fingers on it. It's so nice I want it now - please pick me! Please Vanessa, please. Now I'm begging...
I like that I could yank out the flowers and have a boyish look. Plus, emerald is my birthstone!
Oh..my...-wheeeeee - on the phone to the wholesale company in Holland already - ordering the whole line for the shop. But it's gonna take AGES until they come to Germany, I just KNOW it. Love them, love the colors, love those bold block striped ombres, already sewing in my head... Congrats, Vanessa!
Gorgeous fabric! Wish I didn't have to wait so long for it.
WOW! How super fantastic your new line is and to have Aurafil thread to compliment it, you must be over the moon with pride. I'm learning to FMQ to have matching thread would look so great. Thanks and congratulations, Toni Anne ;->
That fabric you mention as a blender is candy to my eyes. Actually, the whole line feeds my fabric sweet tooth. Why do we have to wait until next year to get some???
I think these colors and prints are fantastic. I will definitely be picking some of this up to add to my stash. Thanks for the chance to win some first.
Thank you so much for making color choices easy for people that are "color-challenged"! You have a gift, thanks for sharing :)
GORGEOUS! Just gorgeous! I almost can't even stand how fabulous it is. Congratulations. Can't wait to see patterns. And can't stop thinking about those ombré pillows :)
This fabric line is Fantastic. It is gorgeous!! A definite "gotta have collection. Congratulations.
This has to be my favorite line you have put out yet!!!! I love it ALL!!!
I absolutely LOVE THE NAME of your newest line. COLOR does indeed make us creative folk HAPPY. My favorite pieces are the V prints .... Like chevrons on steroids. It will be hard to wait for these to appear in stores!!
Love these colors, as always, but I'm missing the purples!
I just got giddily excited about all the things I was going to make! I can't believe I have to wait until MARCH!!!! But I will start pattern hoarding in the meantime to get ready!
This is already on my Christmas list!!!
Great stash builders! And thank you for writing posts that make me laugh.
Absolutely LOVE the entire collection! I feel like I could actually drink in these colors.
Let the inspriration begin...
thank you for the giveaway.
I love them all so can't decide on my favorite. WOW. And having matching threads is so great!
Oh my goodness - absolutely beautiful! Wish I could get my hands on some of that gorgeousness!!!!!!!!! Thank you for creating such amazing fabrics!!!
Here in Pennsylvania it's raining, and has been for almost a day, it's cold and dreary and Color Me Happy is a ray of beautiful, warm sunshine to my waterlogged soul...the emerald, the turquoise, dots and ombres brighten my day and sooth my drippy demeanor!
Another home run, Vanessa. I love how you instinctively know what home sewists want...the stash builders are just genius! Brava!
WOW!!!! I love this collection, especially the stash builder prints. Great job!
That is beautiful! Great colors and prints.
That color block is awesome. The dots and flowers and fun little prints... I love em all! The only thing is, the lovely eggplant color is gone.... so clearly you'll have to do a follow up to this line and include some of that because it is my favorite color and I'm sure you are worried about me and my favorites ;) I'm really liking the emerald though, so I'll probably have to buy some of this when it comes out!
Love it! And you're right, the emerald looks great with the navy!
Perfect name for such a happy collection! I love it and I'm so glad your style [which I love] is being put into fabric for us all to select from :)
It's great! I'm loving it all, but I'm especially drooling over the the print that makes me think of bird tracks. Thank you!
The color block pillows are fabulous :) Can't wait for this fabric to come out!!
Love this - its so HAPPY :) I love those ombre pillows.
Love, love, love this collection ~ the ombre ~ Yes to that to! Looking forward to the patterns that you are working up. Congratulations on this line ~ Just beautiful!
Just gorgeous. I am really in love with the pinks, greys, and teals especially. There are some great stash builders in there. Thanks for sharing a cute prize too.
ks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
Love all of them, but the red/pink leafs might just be my favorite. I really like the ombre's too so maybe those are a close second. Great job!
Great, fresh new color combos! Can't wait to work with it!
I think you're a genius! I love the dots - perfect background fabric - but I don't like having to wait until March...maybe you're an evil genius! Love it all, congrats!
OMG Vanessa, what an awesome line of fabric. I just love all these colors and can't wait to get my hands on these. Just love the pillows. Congratulations on your new line your should be proud they are all my favorites.
This collection makes me happy! I love all of them. My mind is already thinking of things to do with the ombre fabrics as well. Can't wait to be able to get my hands on any or all pieces of this collection. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a fantabulous line! The colors are fun and fresh. I need to have some of this. Can't wait till it comes out!!!!!
Oh my stars that is cute! I love the little meandering v's and the feathers! Not to mention the colors.
Love the emerald and navy. It's funny, I am a typically girly girl, love the pinks and pastels, but I cannot get enough green and navy in my wardrobe lately, green is surely a happy color.
I love it... another beautiful line of fabric... Job well done !
Amazing! Love all the variety! Impressive.
Great stash builders, Love the colors.....Can't wait till they hit the quilt shops..
Sara
Love that vintage flower in all three colors!
Vanessa. YOU. ARE. AMAZING!!! I love your new line and the versatility of it. I will definitely be doing some stash building when it comes out in March. Sending lots of FAIRY DUST to help you out in your sewing!! I know it gets crazy sometimes!! Wish I could be there to help!!
These colors are all so amazing. I especially L-O-V-E the emerald. For it being Pantone's color of the year 2013, we sure didn't see a whole lot of it. Seeing it in this line makes my heart smile!!
The whole line looks amazing!!

What a beautiful group of fabrics...will be really special in any chosen project. I love them all.
LOVE!! Especially those stash builders.
Love this collection! Loved the last one too. Would love to sew up something with this new one, hope I'm lucky
sbeckeratoaklandcorpdotcom
Thank you for the emerald and the lime! I can't wait to play with the ombre color block too.
So pretty...I brought your other lines for my Farmer's Wife quilt to be started this fall. Love it!
LOVE this line. Really like the stash builder dots. I don't usually like gray.....but it goes with everything in this line :-)
Congrats on your new line.
Beautiful!!!! I love it! Can't wait to see the new patterns, good luck getting ready for market.

Love the emerald and navy prints!!!!
Gorgeous fabric. I'm not usually a fan of green, but the emerald is soooo pretty. I'm already imaging all that I could make with this line.
I love it! My kids both fight over the pink in your other lines. I'm excited to see there will be more pink to go around :)
Love the colors especially the emerald. I can just imagine all the projects to sew with this collection. Great collection. Will be looking for it next year.
What a great collection!! Can't wait to see what you've been sewing with it. Can't wait to get my hands of some of it.
Love the whole line! I agree with the emerald and navy being fantabulous together in a preppy mind of way. Peacock was new but now that all I can think of too. May have to start yet another project in peacock colors.
Materialmoments@yahoo.com
It's beautiful! I love the dots, the grays, and so much more. Great job!
Oooh, I think I like the ombre colour block and the dots on a string best!
I love the colors and prints! What a great variety--definitely a stash builder!
Congratulations on another beautiful line!
Gorgeous! That is really all there is to say. The colors are fabulous (especially the emerald prints)!
I would love to get my hands on some!
my eye is really drawn to the grey ombre or variation
I usually go for color and love all the color
What a great depth of color and pattern! I love it all. And the ombre is genius.
Love it!!! Love it!!! Thanks!
I love it! Especially the ombre fabric. Such a great collection.
It's just fabulous! Thank so much for the chance to win!
Love this new fabric. The navy sets it all off, been craving some navy. I can see 2 baby quilts from the jelly roll. Beautiful.
Barbara
Have to say it, this one is really the best.
You have outdone yourself with this line.
My compliments.
Love it.
Warm regards,
Marga♥
Wow, this is a great line! Thanks for the chance to win a jelly roll.

great name because they are just that, Happy! Brit and cheerful. Thanks for a generous giveaway.
What a beautiful collection. I love, love, love the navy, teal, grey and emeralds, so pretty. My favorite print is the sprouts. Can't wait for this collection to release.
Love! These colours and patterns make me so happy. I will definitely need to add this to my **stash**.
I love, love, love this collection!!!!! Beautiful, I can't wait to get my hands on some. Ksanderson@hotmail.ca
Color Me Happy does just that! The color mix is so beautiful! Can't wait to see all the fun stuff you have created! Thanks.
Oh, man! Those are so cute!
I especially love that you included some big floral prints...I'm sort of a sucker for those.
Thanks for all of the pretty pictures. If you had just shown them in a giant stack, I might have cried. :)
Ooh, I love these. The colors are just gorgeous. And ombré, be still my heart.
Love this line ! You picked a great name color me happy too !!
I just don't know if I'll be able to keep my no more fabric promise to my husband. This was built just for me ....right? Say it was AND the thread as an added extra. BIG problem having to wait so long for it to come out. At least it'll give me time to save for ti whole package. A bundle and the th2read. I will finally get a quilt just for me. If I'm the lucky one reach me at skeetersaw@comcast.net
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! I can't wait for it to be available.
How perfectly perfect! My itsy bitsy stash is dying for this beautiful line! Well done! - Jess
I love the cluster dots and adding emerald is great.
I think this is your best line yet - and I too love the emerald and navy together. It's a colour combo you don't see very often. Might have to make myself a dress and matching bag from that! What a shame we have to wait til next year to get our hands on it. Thanks for a lovely blog, I read it all the time. Have a great day, Haylee.
LOVE!!! this is absolutely gorgeous, can't wait to get some and play with the colors.
Beautiful. Emerald is my favorite!!
Callinswife(at)gmail(dot)com
No, Color "ME" Happy! Love it!
I LOVE it so much! The V print is my favorite! So fun!
I love the color scheme! I've been working on my nursery, and used quite a few of those colors. Now it needs a matching quilt....
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Love it all!
Amazing collection, I truly love it!!! Awesome job! =D
I have to agree with you, the emeralds and the navy, holy moly what an awesome combo! I have to make something with those! And new ombres! Yay!!
I love these colors! Barbara
Love the addition of emerald! It really pops! Can't wait to see the patterns!
OMG I need to rob a bank. Lol. I love your fabric line and need to get my hands on it. Can't wait to see what you've done with all that pretty at your finger tips!
Great colors and great prints! I can't wait for this to be in the stores!
Beautiful! Love the tones you chose. Congrats!
Beautiful fabric line. Your photos did a great job of highlighting the flexibility of the line and providing inspiration. Thanks!
I absolutely love this! I think the little sprouts just might be my fave from this line. Well done!
fantastic!! wow I wish i could have a bolt of every one!!!
Love, love, love it!!! Navy is one of my favorite colors and the other colors look so great with it. I can't wait for it to show up at my local quilt store!
LOVE the new line! I've loved the other lines but this one is by far my favorite now!
I've been looking for a collection to make the Herringbone quilt that Maureen Cracknell just put a tutorial up. This is it!
Oh my goodness, I am so crazy in love with this line! Well done.
I agree with your favorites as well.
Really awesome!
cheers

Love those emerald and navy. They really look gorgeous!
Ooh! Love them. And matching threads, too. How cool is that?
These colors and patterns are GORGEOUS! I'm thinking of projects as I look at them. Really love them! Thanks for sharing!
Cecilia
OMG!! I love this collection. And it looks so beautiful when stacked up, love the colours all stacked up. I can't wait to sew with it. COngrats!!
That would color me sooooo happy.
I probably like the V print and the Pin Dots the best because they would be so versatile as a background stash builder. I still need some of your first ombre in blue and some pink and..... and...... Well, you know that song and dance.
Love it! The colors are perfect! Especially love the dots!
Wow Vanessa! You've come a long way from Eastgate! But you still know how to put colors and style together:) it is so fun to see all you are accomplishing.
It was really nice of you to introduce your new fabric and make us all want it now! I love the 3 color ones. Those are really great for pillows. I also love the leaf prints. Great colors and as usual you make me smile:-) Go get ready for market. K-
I just spent the afternoon trying on clothes and everything I picked was navy and emerald. This is one of my all time favorite color combos. I really love your new collection. It is inspiring so many ideas.
Navy is my favorite color and wow - I love this line! AND matching threads - not any thread Aurifil! Fabulous and congrats!
Very very lovely! I particulary love the emerald/navy.
Ca va être long d'attendre que ça arrive en France!
Oh. Wow. It's a good thing this line isn't available until next year so that I have some time to calm down and get rational again. Can't wait to see and touch the fabric in person!
ooh la la. i especially love the ombre colors! cutest pillows ever!!
I love all the colors: they are so modern feeling. And I love the dots. You can never have too many polka dots.
Beautiful!! And congrats.
Love this line. My mind is already racing with ideas.
lrogowski@hotmail.com
Congratulations on your New line. LOVE IT!!!!!, always have loved Emerald and Navy together, like you, I too can sit and stare at and fondle yummy fabric.
I think I could sit and stare and be happy too!!! Just gorgeous! =)
You have excellent taste in yummy awesomeness! Ditto on all the reasons each print and those ombres are so great. Even better is the Aurifil collection to go with them. You are one super-skilled lady, and I'm trying hard not to be emerald-green with envy over all your talent... in one person. Just not completely fair.
Vanessa, this might be my favorite line ever. It's beautiful. There aren't words to describe my love for this line. Great job!
Sweet! I need some of that emerald and navy!!
I love your new line! The vintage flower prints, the pin dots, the "V"s....oh my. Color me happy makes me happy too.
I think this will be a hit. I especially like that it is a varied but non-too-girly collection! Might have to make something for the big boys with this if I get the chance!
Love the ombre and the ikat!
Truly a beautiful collection. I love the stash builders and all the colors, I could go on but, oh, and the stripe, wow.
OMG! I absolutely LOVE the Emerald, being Irish, it's one of my go to colors.
I'm so excited for this line to come out! My favorite prints might stripe dots. Love. Can't wait to see pics of your market projects!
um, LOVE!!!! The color block pillows? Kind of genius! :D
WOW!!! Your new collection is stunning. Can't wait for it's release, I will differently be making a quilt with this range. I'm a big fan.
OMG, love love love this line!! I can't wait to get my hands on it and mix it with your other collections. I think the V print is my fave.
It's amazing Vanessa! LOVE IT!!!
Oooh. I really really like this one! Graphic and ikat and flowers, sign me up!
I love vivacious fabrics! Great job!
Oh my gosh, I love these colors! The pink/emerald/navy are perfect together!
Absolutely love the colors and prints. GOOD!
How does it makes me feel? Happy too! It is all so beautiful and I can't wait to get my hands on some. March is way too far away.
Ah! I lurk your blog and love your posts buuuut.... this color line is smashing! The emerald and navy is yummy together.
Vanessa, I'm like geeking out cuz how did I miss you had another line coming out!! These make me so happy wanna cry happy tears! And I LOVE how you made them to play with Simply Color and Simply Style. And Emerald - Pantone's color of 2013! Love it!
See, geeking out! God has so gifted you with color, style, happiness and the ability to express and share it! Totally fresh, fun and you! and us! Anticipating the Spring release of these will get us thro winter, huh!
Have a blast! - Glynis
Love this line!!!!
You'll have a difficult time to outdo yourself next time round. Lovely collection!
I'm loving the navy a lot! Can't wait to see it in person.
Oh. My. WORD. Absolutely gorgeous! I'm so in love with those pillows!!
Ah! ♥ It's glorious! I love every single print and color!
The name says it all...It does make you happy just looking at the whole line. Congratulations Vanessa
Its so pretty! I would love to have it.
Vanessa, I love the ombre fabric! (Autocorrect keeps trying to change that to hombre. Ha!)
Love it! All those color choices.
I love these colors! I've made two quilts with your Simply Style line, which I love, but I think this new one is even better!
Winning a jelly roll may make me as happy as you (by the way LOVE that stach building ISN'T hoarding ;-))
Well, you've really gone and done it now! I seriously looked at all those fabrics and tried to decide which ones I could live without. After serious consideration for about 30 minutes, I just decided I couldn't live without ANY of them! Can't wait for them to hit my LQS. Great job and thanks for the chance to win!
Ooooo, so nice!!! And matching thread''''
!
So love your range, fabulous colours and would love to get hold of the graduated plain fabric
Oh my goodness love the new collection. Congratulations and have fun at the Market.
Ok, this is beautiful. I think my favorite things are the addition of emerald and those color block ombre prints. Love it!
What a Fantastic fabric line!!! I think this is my favorite new lie of fabric. I can think of a million projects to use this for. Great Job! Hang in there-- you will meet your deadlines with awesomeness.
It's beautiful! Congratulations on another great line!
Great colours, fresh and lively. Congrats on your success .
FABULOUS just FABULOUS !!!!
Love those tiny leaf prints. Great job on the colors...as usual!
I absolute love the fabrics....what lovely colours and designs.....quilts and bags aplenty to be made from this beautiful fabric.
Wow! What gorgeous colors and designs. I can't wait to see the patterns you have created for this fabric.
Vanessa, I spent a couple of hours today piecing Block 5 of the 2013 Designer Mystery BOM quilt. It's by far my favorite so far, and it sent me racing here to see what else you have done that I NEED. I'm impressed.
Oh my gosh!!!! Super excited for this to come out! Both Simply Color & Simply Style are my favorite lines, hands down, but I think this one will trump them! So gorgeous!
Love them all, the colours are fantastic!
YES! I love it all and it makes me happy, too.
