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. ;)

Love it!! The emerald does look fabulous with the navy, I have to agree 100%. These are just so, so pretty. I'd like to get my hands on some too. I'm loving playing with Simply Style right now in a couple of different things, it's so pretty too!
I reeeeally love it. My favorites are the multi-colored pin dots and the leaves with the three lil dots at the top. LOVE the colors.
I especially love the ombre stripes (this kid needs some new pillows now I think). Plus I love all the dots and the V pattern. So much awesome-ness!
I just love this line. These colours are my favorite as well. Good job! Kimberly
You always have such great colors. I think the pin dots and the ikat are my very favorite! Well done!!
A friend is making a huge Dresden plate quilt with Simply Color - I'm jealous and I think a Jelly Roll of Color Me Happy would make ME happy - I could make my own Dresden plate quilt. :) Thanks for the chance to win.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Congratulations on a stunning line!
Oh. Em. Gee! Love your new line. I loved the other two but I super love this one. You outdid yourself missy!!!
This line is stunning! You are so good at making your lines pretty and modern at the same time!
Oh my goodness! I have had a thing for navy and emerald for a while now and I am just in live with this line! Lovely work, can't wait to get my hands on some.
Oh *swoon*!! I really want it all and am so bummed that I can't sew with it for Christmas gifts!! There's always next year, right? Jelly Roll pretty please? : )
I love the emerald, teal, navy, and grey combo. If this baby is a boy, I know what fabric I need. And the line comes out just in time!
I LOVE how bright and fun it is! Can't wait for it to come out!
I'm in love!
SO in love with this!! The emerald and navy are just perfect!
So awesome! I love love love this line!
Swoon!! So loving the ikat and gray, emerald, navy combo!
A whole bunch of awesomeness piled together :) I can see why you wanted to have a big TA-DAA moment!
Eek!!!!!!!
Emerald & navy is my favorite combo to wear! This is so lovely-all of it! The color-blocked ombres are to die for-can't wait to make pillow cases out of them!And how I'd love to play with a jelly roll, if I can bear to open it!
Now to try & decipher this awful looking code!
I like the ones you label as stash builders very much, this time! Especiaææy the multi colour pindots and the... vines (?). Thank you for another beautiful line and a very nice giveaway!
I love it! Love the navy and emerald. Love the grays! and Love Love the coordinating thread packs you are doing.
Great colors - love the vintage floral!
Gorgeous stuff...just right for the update I'm planning for my bedroom!n How do you draw up your designs?
Love them...deifinitely makes me happy and excited...can't wait
I love! My favorite of you lines! Can't wait to get my hands on some.
I want it all!! LOVE the pin dots. I am a sucker for dots. CAN'T wait to get my hands on some!!
Yet another gorgeous line. I love it all but can really see a quilt in the navy, grey and pink. Lovely!
Ermagad! I freakin love it :)
Looks great! I can't wait to see it in my local quilt shop! : ) Another job well done.
I adore your new line! Why is spring so far away!? Way to go :)
Have mercy, what a gorgeous collection! Congrats to you :) Cindy
I'm with you - I love the emerald and navy combo! Great work!
Yummiest line.Jumping between green and navy to choose my favorite but love all.Once again you get it.Well done!!
Yes! Emerald and navy are the best. Love the dots too.
This is a fabulous collection. The emerald green is lovely with the other colors. Love the colorblock stripes. Yes please!
I have the same preppy love for the navy and green, especially the with the gray!
Love the emerald with the navy, the pink with the navy..oh all of it! And the navy! :)
I am loving the emerald and navy too. I just did my boys room in those colors. Congratulations! The whole collection is just lovely!
Love this line! I have soo many ideas ideas for this fabric already!
I can't wait to get my hands on some of that. I've been scheming a quilt using charm packs of Simply Color and Simply Style, and now that will have to wait till I can get some yardage of this as well.
So very pretty! I love the emerald, it does ad some depth in the palette. The ombre would be a great way to make the backing of a quilt interesting, or a binding, without the work...
About the stashbusting..... This may be more of the hoarding kind of fabric, cause of the nice and useable prints.
Not that that is a bad thing...!
Love,
Ilse
Great colors! I Loooove the pin dots!
these colors are all just so lovely I can't wait to get my hands on them - what wonderful array of color
you make me want to start an emerald and navy quilt!
SOO fantastic! I love the cluster dots, and the feathery prints, and the ombre stripes...It's all really lovely!!
Love your new line coming out next March. Love your 2 others as well.
OMG I am so in love and I think March is an awfully long way off!! Great job Vanessa!!
Love this line must-have!!!
I love that you still have blue and green along with your teal. Often designers just replace one of those colors with a teal choice. THANKS!
Oh this is soooo exciting!! I love, love,love the navy and emerald combo. It has always been one of my favorites!! I would love to play with any and all of this line. it is super!!
Scandalous but FABULOUS! This is gorgeous! I hope I can get my hands on some down under!
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! I will totally be hoarding...um, I mean "stash building"....this fabric!!!!
Absolutely love this. My daughter already wants me to make her a quilt with pinks and grays. With the teal-pink print as the backing.
You out-did yourself again. Can't wait for Spring to come to get hold of these beautiful fabrics!
This collection is not a want...it is a necessity!!!
What beautiful, happy colours you've chosen! I can't wait to try them out.
All gorgeous ! How exciting!!
Absolutely LOVE this line! I cannot wait until it comes out - I love all of the colors and you have outdone yourself with all of the amazing stash building staples. Love the dots and the V print!!
Love the navy and the green! Yippee!
So this line will make the third time you've busted my budget with your fabric ... but I'm good with that ... Color Me Happy is such an appropriate name!
Please, please, please pick me! I have a special love for emerald, especially when paired with navy. You do great work!
Oh this fabric line is just so so wonderful! I love it and can't wait to get my little hands on it! I was told by my husben not to buy another piece of fabric until I used up most of what I already have.....IS HE CRAZY....lol! How can I stop buying fabric if wonderful fabric like this keeps coming out?!? I CANT!!
Everyday I just cross my fingers hoping the mailman makes it to my house before my husben does so I have time to hide my new fabrics.....lol.....please tell me I'm not the only crazy fabric lady!
Great job! Thanks for the wonderful fabric pictures and thanks for the chance at your giveaway!!

LOVE!!!
I totally agree that there are some incredible stash builders in there & I smiled when I saw your "preppy happy" comment. I have blue & green curtains in our family room and love to say it's my preppy room. :)
beautiful!
Stu-u-ning. What a fabuous collection. I love the blocked ombres, being Irish of couse the emeralds are a big love of mine, but coupled wiht the pin, navy and grey... this is one collection that is a big must have for me. Thank you so much for all the hard work that has gone into designing it and making it happen.
Just gorgeous!!! I'm drooling over the red and pink V print. That's getting made into a purse for me come March! Can't wait! Thanks for the opportunity to win. =)
I love very line you have done! This one is just so exciting with the emerald!!!
I LOVE the colors in this line. Navy is awesome with just about anything but looks fantastic with the emerald green, aqua, and the grey!
Wow, colors I love too! Except maybe the emerald but I'm open to giving it a try (never have). :-)
I love it all!! I am all about stash builders. They speak more to me than big statement fabrics. The emerald and navy are so great together. All the colors are beyond amazing. I need to learn how to sew a dress because those cluster dots would be so amazing.
Very beautiful! I also love the navy and emerald... Sigh, can't wait to get my hands on some.
Can NOT wait to get this line in my hot little hands - the thread too!
I'm pretty sure this line may very well be my absolute favorite.
Your latest line is pretty much perfect. The perfect name, perfect colors, perfect stash builders. This is exactly what I want in March 2014!!!!
I have to echo the comments about the fabulous outs color ange. A jelly roll of this makes for endless possibilities!
Squeee! I love the emerald in this line!!
Oh it's perfect! Colorful and fun and still sophisticated and design-savvy. Well done V!
I absolutely adore this fabric. Will need some for sure! Thanks for sharing.
Another great line, Vanessa. Can't wait to see it in stores. So glad for the emerald; I've been on a hunt recently and haven't been too successful.
This collection is absolutely gorgeous! That fat quarter bundle is just calling my name! The colors are terrific, and I love the emerald. I cannot wait until I can get my hands on this and makes some lovely quilts!
Sometimes when I like something new like fabric or a book, I just carry it around for awhile. I do it until I have a chance to work on a project. So here is to carrying it around for a while! Your fabric is lovely.
This is my favorite of all! I can't wait for it to come out. :) This one is definitely a "hording" fabric line. I want it all...
WOOOOW. Amazing. Definitely your best yet. Well done!
sarahschraw@gmail.com
Those really are some happy colors aren't they?! Your blog has been a little quiet this year and I can see why. You've been really busy designing some beautiful things for us to pet, cut up, sew and then pet once again. Great job and congratulations!
ALL OF MY FAVORITE COLORS!!! Thanks for not getting rid of the blues and greens because of the teal! Seriously, I am just imagining all the beautiful blue/green/teal/grey combos.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Ok, now that i got that out of my system and cleaned the drool off of my keyboard, all I can think to say is wow! Thanks so much for the chance!
Fabulous! How can I ever wait that long?

You have seriously outdone yourself this time, Vanessa! I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll be seeing some pretty incredible things made with this line all over the Internet world. I'm a huge fan of that v print!
This might just be your best line yet. Love all of it, especially the ombre colors.
Absolutely love it all - living in New Zealand I will be very surprised if I see this in the shops. I especially love how you have included stash builders - desperately needing those. Congratulations on another fabulous range. XX

Absolutely LOVE your new line, I think your V print and the sprouts are my favorites! I will try to wait patiently for when they come out!
This line looks great! Emerald is a brilliant addition -- sometimes that's a hard color to find and I definitely need some. Also, I love buying blender prints since they mix with so many different fabrics.
Love the new fabric line. I have a new granddaughter and this would be great to make her another quilt when she gets just a little older. One quilt is never enough.
Such beautiful colors....looking forward to working with those luscious fabrics!
