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!

1 – 200 of 400 Newer› Newest»Super, super fun prints! I have 3 boys, and love to sew. This fabric collection just made it easier! I can see myself decorating their rooms with these fabrics, we have some sporty little guys. :)
My favorite is... the diagonal plaid. I'm sure you have a better name for it, but I didnt see the names. Specifically the light blue one. The whole line is great!
First "Going Coastal" and now "Hall of Fame"... Im very impressed!!
I love blue game turf! Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh my, oh my, oh my Emily!! Hall of fame is fabulous. My favorite is the rainbow cheerio on the cream background. I can think of many ways to us it!
my favorite is the plaids. i have a thing for plaids. all the colors are great, in every print. what a great line!
Oh I LOVE the "Cheerios" as you put it. The plaids are great too. What a great line!!
I love the numbers and the cheerios too!
I absolutely love this fabric!! I am currently working on ideas for quilts to make my two brothers for Christmas, and I believe this fabric would be a great! I absolutely love the print that looks like pennants. :)
Ooh - love them - the rings are really fun - I could see them working with lots of fabrics that I have!
wow i love these fabrics...as a mom of two boys I'm drawn to these colors...love it.
I love the numbers. I love numbers, anyway. I'm also really drawn to the sports dots, can't wait to get my hands on these.
I am loving dots right now & yours are extra special! Love those with the red background best. Dots go so well with lots of blocks, as borders & definitely as backing. Great collection - thanks for sharing and thanks for the chance to win some!
I love all of the circle prints! Particularly the ones in the green/blue pallette.
P.S. My word verification is 'drool'. haha
I'm loving the penant fabric. Hurrah for some masculinity in the fabric world. I'd love to have a bunch of this, and Going Coastal to make quilts for my guys. (3 sons, and 3 brothers, and 2 brother-in-laws)
What gorgeous prints! I LOVE the multi-sized number prints, although its followed closely by the plaids. :-)
Thanks for the change to win.
oh my goodness. you want me to pick a favorite?!? I'm loving the numbers. The "cheerios", The "pennants". The plaids! Ackk! I'll go with the numbers as my top favorite! Thank you for a chance to win. :-)
I'm in love with all things yellow and I super love the ticking stripe, so cute and versatile!
I like the blue numbers. My son loves stuff with numbers.
Oh, I can't pick just one! I love the cheerios, I love the penants, I love the numbers! It's all good! Thanks so much for the give away!
Wow - I love this collection!!! The pennants print is easily my favorite - SO much fun!!
I love all the stripes, and the triangle fabric too. Would looooove to add those stripes to my collection....
Such bright prints, look like such fun! And I definitely qualify as a crazy old lady myself who has a weakness for the red stripes!
I like the cheerios with red best but, I also like the penants
My son would love this! My favorite is the one will all the sports on it followed by thr triangles and the one with all the numbers... Actually I like them all!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Great fabric! My favorite is Game Plaid in Sage. These fabrics look great for making a quilt for my son.
I love the prints! I agree 100% that we need more masculine, or somewhat neutral prints.
I can't decide between the light blue textured or the numbers above it, love them both!!
I have the perfect pattern I've wanted to redo the cover for, these fabrics will fit it perfectly!!
Yummy! Having 3 boys I am completely biased to the sports themed fabrics but I also love the colorful flag/triangle piece. Congrats to you and thanks for the chance! Smiles~Beth
I really like the pennant fabric and it's great to see more masculine prints out.
I love all of the *cheerio's* although to me when I first saw them I thought, ohh fruit polo's heres a link, (I have no knowledge of the company) http://www.hopeandgreenwood.co.uk/Candy/5-Fruit-Polos/
see, definitely the same as the fabric :O) would love to win
I don't think I can pick a favorite print....anything with red and blue is great in my book (or, um, stash)!
I think the pennants are my favorite!
I love that they look boyish! I'm always sewing for my girl, and my boys definitely take offense. HaHa!
My favorite is the pennants (did I spell that right?) Such a fun collection. Very nice! ☺
Great new collection!! I love them all!! I think my favorites are the numbers and the pennants. Great line!
I love the multicolored stripes- so many great fabrics in this collection!
They are all cute but I love the ones with numbers, especially the red! I also like the multicolored pennants print. Very cute.
I love it! Great job. I'm impressed that you are coming out with a new line so soon after your debut!
The number prints are definitely my favorite. I'm a sucker for type as well!
Fabulous new collection.Only one?mmmmmmmmm,numbers ,plaids and dots,but anyone is gorgeous!!Thanks for the chance.
Love the stripes! Ticking-inspired anything is a winner in my book :) Truly, the fabric world needed this line to big-boy things up a bit.
I love the variety of patterns and colors...I hope I win!
fun fun prints! my boys are growing out of their baby quilts..so maybe its time to start up a couple of new ones..
I really like the pennants but my favorite have to be the "cheerios". They really do help fill the boy void in the fabric world.
OH. WOW. Seriously. LOVE it. We are big football fans here (High School & College) and last week was my son's last high school game...so feeling a little nostalgic...I decided to make him a quilt. I swear, those are the colors I was looking for! OK, favorite, ack...Sorry, I can't pick. Love them all!
Lovely collection. My favorite is the print with numbers. I really like these types of prints, along with prints that have words/letters.
ttr3@earthlink.net
I love the circles - remind me of life saver candies - but I love the multi-stripe, too - Oh, the 2 together, how fun. Waiting for my LQS to get this in!
I LOVE the colors! My favorites are the numbers. Perfect fabrics for boys.
I love the circles!
I like the triangle print the best
Oh my these are all beautiful but if I have to pick my favorite it would be the cream plaid. It's simple and oh so versatile.
I love them all! I have 6 nephews and its always a struggle to find new fabrics to make goodies out of. =) I REALLY like the argyle type plaid.

FUN! FUN PRINTS! NUMBERS ARE NEAT!
CHEERIO'S TOO! THANKS SO FOR SHARING! HAPPY STITCHING ALL!
Oh, I love the diagonal line plaid, so interesting! Both of my grandsons (adults) need new quilts, and these fabs would be perfect!
They are all gorgeous!!! To pick one; it would have to be the diagonal plaid....delicious.
I love the stripes and the Cherrios. I also like that the colors are more "manly". I've been trying to find prints that I could use for my 2 little boy cousins... this would/will be prefect!
Oh the orange ticking!! And the pennants, this is a wonderful collection and very different then many of the new collections!
What great prints. I was just thinking about looking for some "manly" fabric to make quilts for my nephews. Congrats!
Oooo...I love the white backgrounded Cheerios! These are great!
I'm a sucker for stripes, but I think I like all the rings (or cheerios or circles). They are a nice use of color and pattern. Thanks for the giveaway.
I was first drawn to the number prints but I really love the pennants. Thanks for a chance to win a bundle.
I love the numbers on blue--no, wait, I love the yellow plaid--no wait, I love the multi-color Cheerios! I love them all!
all the stripes all the way! thank you for the chance~AmyB
I like the pennants best. So glad someone else is doing boy fabric!
My favorites are the cheerios and the pennants - the ones in the third row and third column of the photos (the ninth fabric in each). At first I called the cheerios lifesavers. These are indeed more masculine yet strongly geometric so appeals to me too. Thanks for the chance AND
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW LINE!
Oh gosh - a favorite? I'm digging the more solid colors cause they seem perfect for a teacher gift that's brewing in my head. Course then I see the multicolors that bring everything together so well... hard to decide.
Oh, the pennant print is my favorite...and I so need to win this...my 16 year old son is still sleeping with a Debbie Mumm Sports themed quilt made by me for him about 12 years ago...these fabrics would be perfect for an updated "guy" quilt!
Gorgeous "guy" worthy prints! Love it! Thanks!
Those prints are so fun! My favourite is the triangles :)
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
It's hard to pick just one favorite...but if you're going to hold my feet to the fire, I'll pick the pennants. I really love all the colors in the line and can't wait to buy some for me and my boys.
Being a mother with 4 boys, I'm glad to see more boy stuff! KUDOS!! There isn't one in the bunch I don't like.

My fav is the cheerio print - especially the teal/aqua background print. I love how you tell the stories of how you come up with these designs - you make the process come to life! Congratualations on another great line :)
Emily, I love it all! If I had to pick a favorite I would say the circles are the bomb!

I love the "Cheerios" patterns! Circles are wonderful right now. Beautiful color schemes.
Great fabrics!! They are so fun! I love the red argyle and the colorful pennants.
Oh how I would have loved to have had these fabrics when my son was home. He was an athlete all through high school and college and I see tons of possibilities with this collection. My favorite? hmmmmm....well I LOVE the numbers, and the cheerios...heck I love them all. I can sure see myself making something for that precious little grandson of mine. He would LOVE this! Thank you for the chance at an awesome giveaway!
I love the pendant, followed by the circles (both of them). Beautiful collection! The reality, I love the "blue" collection.
I really like the pennants, so fun and colorful! The whole collection is, I really love a fabric collection that delivers so many different options :)
The number prints are so cool. Love the more tailored feel of this collection.

I'm always a big fan of stripes, and the cheerios are amazing. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

I would make curtains for my craft room with those yellow numbers!
Love the whole line but if I had to choose I'd pick the plaids!
congrats! I like the triangles.
Love the entire collection but if I had to pick, it would be the cheerios in bright colors. Love the pennants too! Judy W
Congratulations on another home run! The new line is fabulous! So fresh and masculine and very much needed as there is way too much pink in everything these days. I quite like the speckley ones and the numbers and the ticking and the stripes. You only asked for one but how can I possibly narrow it down when the whole line is perfection!!
I have to pick one!! Impossible! Well maybe the stripes - can always use stripes. I like the dots too - can always use dots!
I can't wait to see what you have made with this line. I love how colorful it is. I really like all the tonals and the multicolor stripe. I'm into stripes lately.
Congratulations!
My fave is the pennants too
Love the numbers! It's a great collection.
These are so cute... love all the dimensional prints but the ticking (red, orange and yellow) are my favorite... hard to find them these days... thanks for sharing...
Karen

My favorite would be the yellow with the mustard numbers!
Thank you for this great giveaway!
These are all gorgeous prints but as I'm loving all things striped at the moment, I'd have to say my favourite is the pale blue & white stripe. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
Definitely the cheerios--although a good plaid is a hard thing to pass up.
I too love the Cheerios---I have a "thing" for circles and dots. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
YAY!! a more masculine line indeed!! having girls everywhere! we are looking forward to a grandson and these prints will be great!! My favorite, although how can anyone choose, would be the grey stripes~so soft for a baby boy's quilt or tiny suit!! Thanks for your generosity!! ~xo~
Love the plaids the most
I love all the prints but I think my favorite is the cheerios ones. You're so right, masculine fabrics are so very much needed. Thank you!

What a fabulous line! I have 3 boys, and these prints are perfect! They're not babyish, or too graphic, they're just right. My favorite? The yellow diagonal plaid. I also love the stripes. It's all just so great!
Great boy/man style fabric!
I love the ones with the numbers on them! Anything with text floats my boat!
My favourite is the circles with the blue background. It is so wonderful to have some more masculine prints. Thanks for the giveaway!
What gorgeous fabrics! I love the skinny rainbow strips! And the circles on the blue background...and the cream background!
Love them all, but my favorite would have to be the solid pumpkin...so reminds me of the pumpkin pie we're going to enjoy for Thanksgiving next week.

Yummy!

My favourite is the red cheerio fabric :)
Oh, wow! what a great line of fabrics! I LOVE the cheerios, and am thankful someone used that word to describe them. I was struggling. lol (Thought about those ring notebook reinforcer thingys.) But, I love the numbers, too, and the stripes!
Thanks for the chance to win the bundle!!!
My favorite is the navy ticking. My daughter is 23 and adopted from S. Korea. While waiting for her arrival, I made her crib bedding. I made the dust ruffle, bumper pads and part of her quilt with navy ticking. Still reminds me of that baby girl.
i love the pennants too. but the plaids are lovely also. this would make a great quilt for a guy.
Your new fabric line is great, I love the colors of it. And you are right, we need more masculine fabrics. I don't know that I can choose a "fave" out of them all, but I really like the pennant print. I just love them all, the colors are so perfect.
What a great line! These would look perfect in my son's room. My favorites are the multicolored stripe and the "cheerios" on the white background.
I really like both colorways. The plaids are great, but I am leaning towards the numbers. I enlarged my screen and could see the background to the numbers, which has a little bit of an "old" look to it. I also like the one with the tiny scattered dots. Those will make great blenders!
cheerios for me! love those fat round circles!
The colors are all so great. My favorite is the Sports Game Stripe.
My fav would be the multi stripe.
I love the multicolored cheerios on cream! The pennants are cute too. This whole line is so bright and fun.
I really like the one with all of the little triangles, but I also love the numbers and the "cheerios". They are all wonderful!
I like the middle blue plaid. Thanks for the chance to win!
First - the colors are scrumptious! Now, I love the numbers. I like type on cloth too. thank you for a chance to win some of your gorgeous fabric!
We do need more fabrics to make quilts for the men in our lives. My favorite is the ticking stripes. Can't wait to see your patterns.
I love the red tone on tone numbers. The entire line is awesome! Thanks for the chance to win.
I just love this new line. What a fun quilt it would make.

My favorite is the circles print! This is a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win!
Gorgeous! My favorite is the triangle print - the second photo, middle print in the last column.
I love the prints with the numbers - it reminds me of subway art. So cool!
I really love them all! My fav would be all the stripes!! Tganks for the opportunity!
Love the brights! Guess the circles on white are my fav - I'm a fan of polka dots of any kind!
What fun fabrics....my favorite the red numbers!

I'm a numbers kinda girls so yup it's the banner print. I love decisive people
I think the plaids are my favorite. I have been searching for plaids lately that are a little more modern than traditional - it's tough! A very close second favorite would be the numbers. But really, I like them all!
Great fabric. I love the stripes - red & white, orange & white, blue & white, I love the plain orange, oh, and I love the pennants and the cheerios (they ring nautical to me). Difficult to choose. Wonderful job.
Wonderful collection! I love the colors. My favorite print is the scattered numbers. It's so versatile and classic. Good job!
First of all, I love the colors you chose. The cheerios and the plaids are my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win!
Congratulations on this new line. I love the colors. I love the plaids the best, I have 2 boys that I could use this fabric on.

Mary
iammaryburke @ gmail.com
Wonderful line! I would call them lifesavers not cheerios and love them on the red.
I am a sucker for plaid and strips and polka dots- I really love the pennants. I have my dad's collection and intend to put them up in my 8 year old's room (they are waiting in the closet. I have three boys and am expecting my fifth so it is awesom to see all these great boy prints!! There really aren't as many to choose from. Good for you with your second collection.
teancum09(at)gmail(dot)com.
I too am a sucker for the type prints so the number prints are my favorite. What a fun collection!
What a very fun collection! I love the numbers fabric.
I love the numbers! Great fabric collection!
Love the colors and especially the circles.
I like the numbers best, I think. I knew you loved print and giggled to myself about it. The font screams Emily. I like the subtle color contrast and offset sizing. Thanks for doing something for the boys. I've really struggled with that.
I love them all but those penants make me remember collecting penants in highschool. Love all the colors!
Love Love the stripes.. So bright and happy..
Terry
I love the prints with the circles on them. They remind me of the filler paper hole reinforcers. Fun collection!
You made a great collection! My favorite is probably that multicolored stripe. But I do love the 'cheerios' and numbers too!
This is such a fun print and would make a wonderful quilt for boys of all ages. I love the number prints, all of the shades are wonderful.
Debbie
Oh My Gosh!!!! I love it all! I have boys and this collection is amazing! I love the fabric with the soccer, basketballs, etc. The stripes are also my fav!
