This post was planned to go live first thing this morning. But Blogger had other plans. Like, not letting me load pictures the way I wanted to. So instead, you have the 'official' inside view of my market brochure featuring:
HALL OF FAME
my newest collection for Michal Miller
First, I never intended for a rainbow, but as I was rearrnging the prints into a nice format the the brochure this is what happened and I love it. I have a fun 'retro' project I'm trying to figure out using several of the prints. It will most likely be a blog-only special. I'll probably show it sometime late winter when Hall of Fame is shipping to stores!
My inspiration for this collection came from vintage high school photos. I love the look and feel of these pictures. And although most were in black and white I could imagine what the colors were. I wanted to bring that feeling into a collection, yet have it feel modern all at the same time.
Obviously this collection has a more masculine feel- we need that in this industry. The colors, shades, and prints were all chosen to speak to a broad audience with a focus on the 8-30 male population. Colors can be mixed and matched to form almost any combination of 'team' colors.
There are a few focus prints that have a general sports theme. The pennants print is one of my FAVE's right now!
Of course I had to add some simple plaids and a fun multi-stripe. The 'sport spots' (or cheerios- as I often call them) are super playful and fun.
The ticking prints are reminiscent of those vintage sports but have a contemporary feel to them. I also designed some 'almost' solids with a slight tone-on-tone texture to mix and match with the rest.
Another of my favorite prints are the ones with numbers all over them. I'm a sucker for anything with type on them. LOVE these!
In the days to come I plan to show you the fun new patterns I've designed with the prints. They are so fun to work with. Want to see just how fun!? Leave a comment telling me your favorite print and you'll be entered to win a bundle of 10 fat quarters from this collection!!! I'll pick winners (yes, more than one!) on friday 11/18.
Can't wait to hear your favorite!

Love the entire collection, but my favorite fabrics are the stripes! Thanks for the generous giveaway and the opportunity to win!
I'm loving this line already! I needed something for a quilt for my little boy. My favorite print is the banner one.
love the triangle in all the colors
Love the cheerios and plaids!! I've got two young grandsons that this collection is perfect for.
Wonderful, cheerful, colorful fabrics! My favorites are the stripes, especially th multicolored one. (But those triangles are pretty cool, too.)
This is a great collection. I love the colors and the prints. My favorite is the blue stripes.
I think the banner print is my favorite. What a great collection--I'm already imagining the quilts I could make from it.
Love the cheerios, or lifesavers as we'd call them :)
I love them all but especially the sport spots which remind me of Lifesavers-my grandson would love this in a quilt!
Anne
I love the Fruit loops. I have 4 Grandsons and I can think of lots of ways I would use this fabric. Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite print is definitely the numbers!!
Gosh - I love the blue and green numbers. But the stripes and circles are pretty fantastic too!
Great selection...I'm impressed. I like the circles, cherrios, donuts whatever you call them the best!

Great collection. I think the pennants are my favorite too.
I love the 'cheerios', but the penants print is my favourite! I can imagine a few fun projects with these fabrics, thanks for the chance....Lori
Wow!! I love all the prints, but I guess my favorite would be the sports print and the numbers. I really love the whole collection. Thanks for such a great giveaway.
My favorite is the multicolored stripes! I love the whole collection!! I have twin boys & it's great to see something just for boys (don't have to pick & choose the colors)! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
What a great collection! All are so very nice but since you asked, I'd have to say I like the blue and white stripes the best. The red stripes come in second, and the blue plaids come in third.
oh i'm a sucker for stripes and text - can i pick 2?? Thanks for the opportunity
great collection. I think I like the yellow ticking the best. Its so bright and cheery! I find it hard to get good yellows but this one looks lovely!
Wow the colors are wonderful! I'm like you and love all the number fabrics especially the red!
Wow! Such great colors and a fabulous idea for a fabric line. Loving the shape play - stripes, cheerios, plaids - looks fantastic.
My favorite is the pennant & the numbers in blue. :)
What a gorgeous collection. I love the one with the circles on the red background best. For some reason, it reminds me of Cheerios!
They are all wonderful,perfect for a guys quilt. Love the numbers one.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
They're all great, but I like the numbers and cheerios the best. The whole collection is great, nice to see some boy prints. I just had my third grandson, so I see some 'boy' quilts in my future.
Would love to win!!
Try and pick one favorite? Yeah Right!!! The numbers are really cool, also the pennants, but I'm sorta digging the plaid...I really like that it's more masculine and you're right, there is definitely a need for more of that!! Good Job!
Hi! I love all the blue palette! Can't pick a favourite - numbers, diamonds - every one of them is great ... and not only for boys!
Thank you so much for a change to win!
Wonderful collection! Hmmm...my favorites would be the "Cheerios" (on red background) and the plaid (on light blue). Keeping my fingers crossed! :)
They are all great, but I think my favorite is the red with multi-color circles/rings on it. Pick me, pick me......pleeeeeease. 8-)
These are fabulous! I really love the numbers. I'm always looking for prints that read as solids, and these will work well.
That is difficult because they all are great and look brilliant together. But the most I like the number prints and the blue circles. Did not see something like this before. Great job! :)
Susanne
What great fabrics! My favourites are the circles - they remind me of the fruit polos (sweets!) we used to buy when we were children!!
I have two very sporty kids... prints would work for both my son and daughter! I LOVE the mattress ticking! Great collection!
I love the plaid. . .ermmmmm also the cheerios. . . And the numbers, and the stripes
Love the dark blue stripes. :)
My favourite is the pennant print! But they are all lovely! I like the colours and the vintage feel and there are some very cool basics in this collection!!! :-)
Love this collection! What I love more about it is that the colours are perfect for boys/men. It's difficult to find fabrics when doing a quilt for them.
My favourite fabric is the triangles one, so nice.
Terrrrific giveaway!
I love this collection and if I had to choose a favorite it would be the numbers , I love anything with numbers or letters ,fun!Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the numbers prints! I have 4 kids, and I could do a lot of fun things with the entire line. But, I just love the number prints for my boys.
This is fantastic and I can't wait for it to be available in the shops.
As a Nanny to 3 Grandsons these fabrics really appeal to me - great job. As a sucker for stripes they would have to be my favourites
I like all the plaids especially the blue. thank you for the chance to win.
I have twin boys and one is in need of a new quilt - this would be so much fun to make one from. My favorite print from it is the pennants -
The one with the numbers are them are great (esp the orange) but I really like the ones with the circles (donuts) on them too - in any color. Great collection! I could use this on a number of projects!!!
SOOOOO thankful for a masculine line... LOVE THIS. I can just imagine something WONDERFUL for the boys to throw over themselves on those sunday lazy afternoons. Can't WAIT to get my hands on this line!
I love this fabric!! Wow - - the possibilities!!
My fave - - The Numbers, in any color - - and - oh - - love the stripes! They remind me of ticking!
Thanks for the chance to win some!!

Just found your blog through Jaybird Quilts. I love this collection -- anything with stripes is all good with me. That said, I love the donuts! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
Great mix! I like the rings on red and the multi stripe, but the pennants immediately drew my attention!
I love the cheerios. what fun! Thanks for the giveaway.
Fun fabric line! I like the triangle print and also the "cheerios". Thanks for the giveaway!
I was thinking the "cheerios" were "fruit loops." Love them all and can't wait to get my mitts all over them.
How exciting! They're all so beautiful but I LOVE the plaids- especially the yellow one :)
These are great!! I loved you going coastal line so I'm definitely excited about this too - I like the diagonal plaid, oh and the numbers, oh the pendants too!! I'm excited about this - Congrats again!
The pennants are my favorite print, for sure! LOVE the combination of the colors and the graphic feel. I have 3 daughters who play sports and like bright colors so this line is a total WIN for us!
What a great fabric line. It's got so many great prints and while it is on the manly side, you could still use quite a few in a children's quilt too or other things. Great prints.
I really like the penant flags, which until incrasing the size, I didn't realize had words on them.
I think my favorite though is the solids with the slight 'print' to them. Those are great for so many things. I do like what is being called, the cheerios too.
Congratulations! It's a fantastic line. I'm sure it will be very popular.
I like the plaids and multicolored circles. Great job!
I love the "cheerios" on the white background - and they are perfect for the baby boy quilt I have in mind! thanks for the chance!
Anything plaid, especially diagonal, and anything with stripes fitts my definition of must haves. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Love this fabric. Judy C
I love the plaids, stripes, numbers, footballers! Oh I love it all :) Such a fun collection!
I love the pennant print!
Sweet! My favorite is the middle "cheerio" in the middle of the second page - with the bluish background.
What's not to love about the Cheerios?! A fresh take on the dot craze...love it!
Oh, the "cheerios" remind me of old vinyl records and I love them in all the colours so they would be my favourite.
Thanks for the opportunity to win. I hope I do.
This line is BEAUTIFUL! I am new to the quilting world, and I have a 16 month old son and a very masculine "outdoorsy" "athletic" husband, so I am very limited to what I can put in our living room :) BUT, this line is perfect, it satisfies all 3 of my family members personalities and likes.
It is hard to say which is my favorite, but I would say the blue and olive number print fabric. I could see these looking fabulous in my living room :)
I like those pennants and circles a lot!
No doubt about it--this whole line is gorgeous! Personally, any fabric with numbers on it is my favorite.
I like the cheerios!!
I love the pennants and the blue plaid! Awesome!
these colors would be great for a quilt for the boyfriend or his nephew ... so, so great!
I love the multi colored stripe....that will be very versatile.
The new line is great, love the ticking in modern colors.
I'm really loving the circles that look like hole reinforcers (sorry). What a great collection!
I love the blues and yellows... Bind them with the Red Stripes and toss in a piece or two of the banners and the sports panel and I think I'd have a quilt a little would cherish for a lifetime!
Thanks for the chance to win!

These are cute! I especially love the cheerios and the numbers. I have a weakness for novelty prints :)
I'm usually partial to stripes but in this collection I love the dots and donuts.
What a great collection! I love the stripes, but the orange one in particular. Thanks for being so wonderfully creative!
Love the stripes and the numbers. Beautiful collection.
Love the multicolored cherrios! That's my definite favorite.
I'm loving the red ticking fabric! The whole collection is gorgeous and visions of pillows are dancing in my head.
Thank you, thank you for some great boy fabric!!!! I could have used some of that sports fabric in a quilt I'm making now. I really like the numbers and ticking but I love all of the colors. Gotta have some!
I do love the pennants but those circles remind of the reinforce stickers we used when we ripped the looseleaf out of the binder. I think they have become the new favourite.
What an amazing collection. So fun and full of color!! I love all of the Cheerios prints. Love me some fun dots!!
The colors are wondeful. So bright and vibrant. I do love the red numbers though....
I love the Multi All Stars and the entire collection, wonderful!
Thanks for the giveaway.
Those numbers are FANTASTIC!!!
What a great collection!!! Just love the 'cheerios' and the numbers are a close second!!!
Because it reminds me of both Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a big bowl of yummy cinnamon Cheerios, my favorite is the circles with the off white background on the warm pallette.
What fun! It's a toss up for me between the red on red numbers and the dark blue ticking stripe. Great new collection!!
The sport spots are my fav since I love circles! Love rainbows too!! :)

Those pennants are waving at me, they yell and cheer for the team and wont let up until the last member is back in the change rooms and all hosed down after the big game. I have some team players that I know I want to include this fabric in their quilts!
I like the simple plaids you included. They are really cute and great colors.
Gee, do I have to pick? I like stripes of all flavors.
Oh very fun prints! My favorite is those circles on white. I'm a sucker for a geometric! Congrats on another great line.
Congrats with these new line of fabrics! Really cute all of them but if I have to choose I would go for the ont with the balls because I spot a soccer ball! I come from a soccer nation!
Definitely the dotty ones. You can never have tot many dots!
The one that jumped out at me first was the Pennants :) I also love the multi coloured stripe...and cheerios!
They are all really great!
Love these. Its so hard to find wonderful non gender prints like this! I love the numbers print in all colors! so great.
I love the blue colored circles (front and center in the blue colorway picture). Thanks!
Oh, what lovely fabrics! I just adore the number prints! Thank you for the chance to win.
I agree, male prints are hard to come by, so these are great. I love them all, but especially the pennants & multi-colored stripes.
Lovely group of fabric and i love the plaids! thanks!
Love the cheerios and multi stripe. These would be great for a quilt on my son's bed.
I'm partial to the dark blue plaid and the penants!
is it possible to pick a favorite??? I seriously like them all. eeny meeny miny moe!?!?!
I'm loving the "sport spots" aka cheerios! Congrats on the new line!
Well, I love stripes and dots but my favorite one is the numbers print. I love the colors! I have 5 sons and it is hard to find great collections to sew for them with. Great designs!
What a fabulous line! I love seeing fabrics that are suited for boys. My favorites are the orange ticking stripe, the "cheerios" with the white background and the multi-color stripe. I cannot wait to see this in stores!
I like the Sports Stripe. The whole collection is great. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the blue plaid and the stripes! So cute and boyish!
Of course they are all wonderful, but I think I like the numbers prints best, in any color!
I love the pennants and your "cheerio" prints. Great colors and graphics in this line!
My favourite print is the circles on red. I agree - boys' prints are good - I have 5 sons and always had problems finding appropriate fabrics that weren't too babyish.
They look so fun! I really like the pennants one!
Oooh they're just all gorgeous! The colour scheme is amazing. My favourites are the circles on the white background and the pennants. Love it all.
the pennants are too cute!
I love the pennants print too!
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I love the triangles. Thanks for the chance to win!
It's hard to pick one because I love the Cheerio prints and the plaids but my favorite is the print with the little pennants!
Love the Hall of Fame prints. My favorite would be the "cheerios".
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
This is such a fun collection. I love the colors and the prints, especially the pennants and the circles. I have 2 grandsons that I would love to sew this up for. Of course I still have to sew up my Going Coastal fabric that I bought myself for my birthday. Some day I'll catch up.
I love the donuts and the pennants. And needed some boyish stuff for three nephew quilts!
I love the ones with the colored circles on them :o) I'm a teacher and they remind me of the reinforcements you stick on a piece of paper to keep the holes from tearing through when you put it in a three-ring binder...too cute!!
It's almost impossible to choose a favorite but if I must, I think it would be the blue plaid on the diagonal.
Thanks for the chance to win!
What a super fun collection! Cheerful and full of happy prints. Wow, how to choose a favorite...well, I'm into anything 'dots' right now, so I'll have to say the "Cheerio" prints (but my first thought when I saw them was 'five flavor Life Savers', LOL). Yup, that's it! Thanks so much for a chance to win some of this treasure. Hugs...
I love the cheerio print in all colorways! :)
This is such a great collection :)
I love the one that has little "flags" !
My favorite is the multicolor circles. So fantastic!

I love them all but really like the striping which reminds me of pillow ticking.
Great fabric -- I love it, all of it! Would be wonderful for a quilt for my 7 year old grandson. Thanks for the chance and if I am not the lucky winner I'll surely have to go get some!
I love all the bold colors, but my favorite is the yellow and orange tiny dots print!
i love the "cheerios" too, and the pennants- congrats and great work!
The numbers are my favorite...especially the yellow; thank you for such a great giveaway
Thanks for the giveaway! I like the Cheerios but would have to say my fave is the lighter blue stripe. Lovely collection! Could see myself making something special for my little boy with this collection!
My favorite is the multi-color stripes on the light yellow background! Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the circles print. Would be great with lots of other fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.
Fun line! I am drawn to the pennants. Lots of great prints! Keep up the good work!
3 boys here, too. I am so happy to see a line just for them! You did a great job!
I love the ticking prints... but then, I also love the fruit loopy ones, too. The pennants are also awesome. We're supposed to pick just one??? LOL!
Oh what fun fabrics! My grandson would love these bright colors. I'm loving the fabric that has the football and soccer balls on it. The cheerio and the numbers fabrics are such clever designs. Who doesn't love a nice stripe as well? When you have this many awesome fabrics together and ask us to pick a favorite? Torture! hehe.
Thanks for such a generous giveaway and a chance to win.
usairdoll(at)gmail(dot)com
You've done it again! Another really hot line of fabric! I really like the circle print. Even though it is colors it reminds me of those little circles we used to fix notebook pages with when the holes needed repairing. Do they still even make those little circles? Great job! Thanks for a chance to win some of our fabric.
Wowser, I'm lovin' these new prints. Love the colorful circles and they'd work perfectly into my current project.
Just one favourite? They are all super cute! But I must say I love the 'cheerio' prints, particularly the one on the white solid - these are such a cute alternative to spots.
I love the numbers, in all the colors. As well as the pennants. Thanks for the chance!
Cute stuff! I love that there are darker colors along with the brights. Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite is the red plaid.
Fun collection! I love the ones with the numbers printed on them.
I think my favorite would be the multicolor stripe! Don't have enough of those in my stash!
Lovely collection! Picking a favourite is really difficult but if I had to choose one or two :) they would be the Multi Game Pennants and the Red Game Ticking.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I love them all, we really are lacking in masculine fabrics so these are great. my favourite is the blue with the brown cross hatch
I love the multi-coloured cheerios. The stripes are fantastic for binding too.
I am such a sucker for prints with numbers or letters (printing or writing) on them...so those are my faves...but the rainbow circles (white background) are also quite awesome...
I have to agree I like the cherrios too, probably the red background best. Fun prints!!!
Wow this line is terrific! It would be great for all the men in my life as well!! Not to mention us girls! One of my favorite lines is Ruby.
h_freund@hotmail.com
My favorite print is the red with the letters, but I really like the ticking stripes, too. I have 4 sons & 3 grandsons, so I can think of alot of projects to make using this fun fabric.
I can't decide on a favorite. Seriously the whole bunch is wonderful!!!
Maybe the numbers? If I had had had to pick!
Love it! Love it love it love it all! Thank you for adding the masculinity...not all of us are always flowery. Bravo!
Man, I just put Going Coastal on my Christmas list and here you are out with a new fabric line already! I love the dark blue plaid the best - looks like a student's knit sweater vest to me! Thanks for the chance to win!
I know its not fancy but I love the tone on tones. THey ground things without being boring. I am called to them a lot lately! Lovely line!
Okay, I love them all. I love that there is a fabric that will fit for boys of the teen to tween to adult age group perfectly, but it also could work for my dd's as well. Love that! My choice if I had to pick one.. (arm twisted behind my back) would be the circle print with the white background. I can't decide why..just a draw of somekind there. LOVE this!!
I love the sport spots (Cheerios)! Thanks!!
congrats on your new collection! the blue color way is so cool [figuratively and literally] -- love it.
My favorite is the cheerio print. Love the plaids and stripe too. Very cheery looking!
My favorite has to be the numbers! I love it!
Oh man! I love the dots and the numbers!!!! Thanks so much :)
Love the pennants!! Well, love all the fabrics, but the pennant is my fav!
Emily I love all the colors and all the prints. They are all so perfect. You my dear are so talented and so busy...... To dang adorable!!!!!
I'm loving it :) I'm always looking for a good "boy" print
Great prints in great colors. I love circles, so I like the ones that look like washers. Very useful design element. Thanks for the giveaway. Kathie L in Allentown
Love these collections!! So cute - I'd love to get my hands on them!
Love the fabric line - would just love to make a little quilt out of those!
Love, Love, LOVE! What a great collection!
Great fabrics. Love you patterns too. My fav are stripes!
teekayb29@gmail.com
love, love, love the rings!!!
Wow, my favorite print would have to be the diagonal plaids in any color way. I've been quilting for awhile & in the olden days (10-15 years ago) diagonal plaids were hard to find. They make GREAT bindings. I buy diagonal plaids & diagonal stripes all the time, for that reason. So I guess that means I plan a quilt around a binding?? Oh well, I guess so.

I can think of all kinds of uses for the ticking fabrics so I guess they would be my favorites but I like the sport fabrics also.

Lovin' the cherrios with white background! This whole fabric collection is wonderful.
I love all of them, but my favorite is the yellow background with the multi-color Os. They remind me of reinforcement circles for notebook paper.
My favorite is the yellow plaid like fabric on the yellow/red photo, 4th row, last one. Love yellow! Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh, I like the cheerios on the cream background. I could use that with sooo many projects.
They're all great, but I think I love the "cheerios" the best :)
You can't help but smile when you look at these prints. My favs are the numbers. Reminds me of old school - School House Rock on ABC on Saturday mornings back in the (yikes) 1970's. Also sneaked a peak at your patterns. Luuuuh-vaaah them!!!!
Love the numbers! Love the stripes! I am in love with your whole collection, actually. :-)
My favourite is the circles. All of the colours. I'd love to win.
Oh what fun, Emily! With three boys I am so excited for this line. My fave is either the pennants or the multi-colored stripe (I'm a sucker for stripes). They're all fab, though. Great work and thanks for the chance!
My fave are the "cherios" or as I like to think of them, those little stickers you put on loose leaf so it doesn't rip in your notebook!
Love these fabrics. The muti sport print is great.
I loved the rings, the triangle multicolor and the number fabric. Too hard to pick just one. Thanks for the giveaway and the great blog.
I love love love all the fabrics but my favorite is the blue plaid but then again I do love stripes. How does one choose. I especially like the fabrics because I am having a boy and this will work great for him, can't wait to see what you are going to do with the fabric.
I think I like the red cheerios the best ' thanks for the chance !
Love the yellow prints.
Love the boy fabric! If I have to choose it would be the number prints
I love them all, but the cheerios & the numbers are the first that I'd reach for!
Oh the numbers print is so cute! That would be awesome in a quilt :) Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm kinda loving the donuts. Or maybe I'm just hungry. No, I really do like those donuts!
love the cheerios fabric, esp the one with the red background; awesome collection!
I love the pendant one!
Oh I'm really diggin' the pennants! The blue ticking comes in a close second though :)
It is hard to pick a favorite, I like them all! I'll have to settle on the aqua numbers for now, just because you are making me. :)
Yes-always looking for sports prints! It will be hard to pick just three or four-love them! Just right for babies and boys too!
Thanks
