WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN: Allison Pogany Thanks for entering!!!
A few months ago, I received an intriguing email from the lovely people over at Hawthorne Threads. They told us that they had a secret project in the works and I had a feeling that they were in the process of creating their own fabrics… and I was right! One of you will win your very own fat quarter bundle…. giveaway is at the bottom of this post!
The talented team over at Hawthrone Threads created 2 lines of inspiring prints. I chose the Calliope line, which has gorgeous colors and designs. (The Bengal tour was last week. Head over after reading here to see how cool it is!)
Check out Calliope! I can see these made into a beautiful purse or a little girl’s dress or how about some lovely pillows?
Make sure you enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post!
The print I chose to sew up is the graphic “rhythmic in indigo“. I just love how simple it is, yet it is unique and modern.
(Shirt pattern used was the Cali Faye Voila Women’s blouse and while the idea of it is super cute, it turned out HUGE on me. The pictures here show the top after I altered it by taking out almost 10 inches from the sides. It is still too big and will require further modifications. I made the size extra small and it should have fit based on the measurements, but somehow is incredibly large. If I make it again, I will most definitely have to grade it down at least 2 sizes, if not 3. And no, I am not pregnant, but the shirt kind of makes me look like I am ha! )
The fabric, however, is such a fun print for any time of year. I love it paired with the yellow cardigan and brown leather boots.
(ainsley was teasing me through the window)
I have a bit of leftover fabric, which I will use to make Ainsley a matching top. I can also see this print being a really really cool bag.
Thanks so much for having me, Hawthorne Threads. I have been a long time fan of your shop and I am super excited for your new line of fabrics!

HI! Oh I love what you did with this print:!IIt creates the perfect outfit with your cardi! lovely! so happy and humbled to be on this tour along ladies as talented as you!
I think the blouse looks so cute on you! This is something that I will be making for spring, with your comments in mind. The Calliope fabrics are enchanting. The first thing I imagined from the fabric was a tote bag using 3 or 4 of the fabrics to create a colorful exterior and 1 special fabric for the lining. Right now I am heading back over to Hawthorne Threads to check out the fabrics! Thank you!
My daughter needs some new skirts. So if i win..
What georgeous prints! If I win, I would make a skirt for my youngest, a purse for my oldest and deffinately a purse for myself!
What would I make?
Well, most of my sewing is for my 3 yo daughter and some for my almost 5 yo son. Looking at those beautiful prints I am almost sure I would use them for a dress for my princess.
Oh and by the way I just did a blogpost on your Norah dress 🙂
Indeed beautiful fabric. I sew a lot for our little girl, but I haven’t started sewing for myself yet. I haven’t really find the right fabric yet. However, with this fabric, I would make something for myself, I think the shirt you made looks great in this fabric.
Love the colors and prints!
A girl’s quilt would be so lovely, right?
Oh, so pretty. Love the fabrics. I would love to make a blouse for me or my daughter using these!
Wow! Such lovely fabric! It would be perfect to make matching tunics for my daughters!
Your blouse looks adorable! Love it!
I would make a wall quilt or the same shirt that you made.
Beautiful! Skirts, dresses, pillows … the possibilities are endless!
I would love to make my granddaughter a dress out of the same blue as your top. She can wear it with her cowboy boots.
I like your color choices.
I would make a lap quilt
I LOVE making bags. I would use the fabric for that.
So cute! Thanks for the giveaway. I would make patchwork skirts for my daughters.
I think the shirt is adorable on you, that fabric is great! If I won a fat quarter bundle I think I would make something for me for a change!…maybe a quilt.
Oh I would definitely start a lap quilt!!!! Such beautiful colors!! Mm
I love mixing prints, and these all play off of each other so beautifully! While I’d love to make myself something, chances are I would end up using it for a dress for my daughter.
I would make something for myself since I usually see for everyone else
I would make a quilt for one of my girls. So fun!
i have picked up sewing again after many many years and if i win i plan on making some really cool clothes
I have a new little granddaughter coming in the Spring! I think she will need a quilt out of this lovely fabric! Love your top! Thanks for the giveaway~
so pretty! I love the blue with yellow!
I would love to make some accent pillows for my daughter’s “big girl” room– the colors are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Umm, I think I’m in love with that top you made!! I would love to make that!!
So cute! Definitely would make a cute dress for my niece.
I’d love to make that top or a similar one for me. But if not, I would make a shirt for each of my kids.
Think I might try a little zippy bag, such cute fabric
i really like your top. so cute. i think i would like to make it too and probably a quilt.
Such a soft yet cheery line of fabric. I need new tank tops & Calliope would be Great! Thanks for the chance.
I love the shirt. I think the fabrics would make really cute skirts and little bloomers for my grand daughters.
I would use it in a quilt.
I would make a top or PJs or a quilt.
So pretty! I would make throw pillows for my daughter’s new bedroom!

I would have to make a lap quilt with the bundle. Beautiful top you made for yourself. Thanks for the chance.
A little girl’s quilt would be fun-also would make lovely tote bags!
Love the color combination, would probably make a quilt for my great niece
The prints are lovely. I would love to make a quilt and pillows for my daughter who just got her own room and “big girl bed.” But she would probably request a dress and matching bag. The fabric group is very much her special blend of girlie and strong.
Very cute shirt! I wish I would go forth and conquer when something isn’t working out for me size-wise, but I just toss it into the UFO pile. I guess making a commitment to finish it for Hawthorne Threads would help with that!!
That fabric is gorgeous!! I know someone with a new baby girl that would love this very much, so I would make something for her sweet little baby with it!!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I wanted to make a quilt with this line as soon as I saw it! It is beautiful! your top looks great!
I would make some dresses for some special little girls.
I think I’d actually attempt a quilt if I had a stack of fqs of that fabric. How could I not?
I think the Promenade Border Print would make an amazing skirt. The Panel print would get used to make three extra large market totes, even a trip to the grocery store deserves something special!
Little girl dresses first of all, then maybe some bags. Thanks so much for the sweet giveaway.
The patchwork twirl skirt is perfect for fat quarters! But that feathered hearts fabric would make up the sweetest skirt all on its own!
I would probably make a quilt
I’d love to make my daughter a quilt and coordinating pillows. We’re converting the crib into a toddler bed soon, so I want to make her something for the occasion. 🙂
this fabric is sooooo cute , i would make a blouse for my daughter 🙂 thanks for the giveaway
If I win, I’ll make some skirts and tops for my two girls. These fabrics are ADORABLE!
Love the top! I probably would use the fabric in a quilt!
I’d love to make my daughter a skirt or a dress…or maybe a skirt for me! Love these colors!
I’d love to make a super comfy blouse – love those prints!
I would make some pillow cases and a quilt for my little girls room. Absolutely adorable fabric.
Cute top and I love that yellow sweater:) Thanks for the chance to win some pretty fabric!
The fabric is gorgeous and love these colors. I would love to make bags with these fabrics, but also quilts and finally venture into tops and skirts. Oh, this is exciting
I am loving the blues and coral at the moment, and I would love to make some gorgeous throws and pillows for our reading couch in the playroom! I normally stick to clothes but there’s nothing like an inspiring new line to toss you out of your comfort zone!! I might even do some hoop art!!
Oooh these are precious!! I would make some cute baby bonnets and rompers!
I have lots of summer dresses to make, this fabric line would be perfect for that.
Definitely a reversible pinafore for my little one!
I love your whole outfit! I would have to make some adorable patchwork shorts for my daughter’s summer wardrobe. Then buy a few yards of my favorite color to make myself a blouse like yours. I don’t think it makes you look pregnant, but I do think it’s one of those style tops that can work while pregnant as well as not. Which I’m currently in the mood for, even though I’m not currently pregnant either.
I would use it in a quilt, thanks
i would make a quilt for my granddaughter
I would make a dress for my baby girl that’s due in February.
I would like to use this fabric to make some clothing for my niece.
I like your top and that is a great idea. I was wondering with the fat quarters if I could make a skirt using all of the colors in vertical stripes. Interesting idea though.
You are gorgeous! Thanks for the pattern review. I’d make coordinating dresses for Ansley and Lisbon.
You look adorbs! As usual
As were heading into Summer here in Perth, Western Australia, Calliope would be perfect for tulip skirts/shorts or even floaty beach cover ups. I’ve been drooling over this fabric since HT’s first mentioned it on their blog.
Love what you’ve done with it – always great to see some selfish sewing from fellow sewists.
This is my favourite print in the collection. I’d like to a new quilt for our living room.
I would make a tote bag.
That’s gorgeous. Love Hawthorne Threads. The too and fabric look great. I think I’d make some skirts for my daughter if I won. Gosh I’ve never won a thing in my life so I’m keeping fingers and toes crossed 🙂
Such a cute top! When you make a matching one for Ainsley, be sure to post a picture! I would use this fabric to make some new pillow covers…these would really brighten my living room in the winter!
Your top is lovely! And that’s a great fabric choice for it. I would use this delightful fabric in a quilt.
Love love love this line! I would make a quilt for my little girl for sure!
Most likely a dress for my daughter or possibly a purse.
Oh goodness these are pretty! Both of our girls have birthdays coming up and then there is Christmas, so probably gifts! Fat quarters would make lovely doll clothes.
I’d definitely make new pillows and a quilt for my living room! I like the top you made especially paired with the yellow sweater.
I have a friend who has a little girl that would look so cute in an outfit made from them and maybe a tablet case for myself.
I would make a blouse for my daughter. I love the print you chose!
I would love to make some bedding, a pillow, cusion cover and simple quilt for my little muse!
I’d like to make a quilt for my niece’s daughter. She would love the colours so much.
I think i would want to make a Christmas bag for my niece. The prints are great!
I’m just learning to make my own bags and totes! I’m thrilled! :0)
This fabric is absolutely beautiful, I love it. I love everything I’ve seen made out of this fabric. I love the adorable pillow they made over at Hawthorne Threads, my daughter would love it!! 🙂
I would make the shirt you made – you look amazing in it and I love the yellow sweater you paired it with!
I don’t know absolutely what I would make with it but most likely I would make a beautiful apron. 🙂
This line looks awesome for quilts and bags!
Beautiful fabric! I would love to make some pillows and a bag out of this! Also a scrap quilt! Thanks so much for a chance!
tdkcarpenoctem@hotmail.com
I would make a quilt for my son’s foster-daughter. Such a fun color combo!
I’d make a quilt of some kind, just not sure what pattern I would use.
I would make doll clothing out of the little prints–probably aprons with matching girls’ aprons, and a sundress for myself out of a combination of a larger and a smaller print.
I think that I would make a pillow or a bag.
I would love to make a couple aprons for some sweet girls! The fabric is beautiful!
That top is very much me! This fabric line is really fun…so many ideas. Quilts, totes, clothes, curtains for my niece? ??
Yum! Perfect for a baby quilt for sure — and then use leftovers for a nice pillow or two.
I think I’d make a Noodlehead 241 tote,,,,and maybe a mini one for a little girl friend of my mine! Thanks for the chance to win.
such beautiful fabric calls for a beautiful quilt to showcase the gorgeous panel and border designs. And with a friend of mine expecting their first baby any day now… here’s hoping its a girl. Then of course there would have to be matching bags, dress and all the everything else that would go with it.
I love this fabric! I would make pillow covers and a table runner with it. Thanks!
Very nice colors and patterns! I love birds so I would feature the peacocks on a project.
I would make a lap quilt to give as a Christmas gift.
Baby girl on the way in January. This line is perfect for her!
I would make a rag quilt.
I do love your perfect blouse, but I’m thinking I would enjoy a wraparound skirt! This beautiful fabric would sew up into anything.
The fabric looks cool, and I love blue and yellow together!
love the colors and would like to try an make a top like this for my daughter
I have a brand new granddaughter, so I would use this fabric to start on a quilt for her. BTW you look perky in that top, but I know how you feel about the look. I am MUCH older than you and feel the same way, but the style reminds me of the 60s.
i see some bright and bold geometric pillows that would be gorgeous from that fabric! what fun colors and patterns….
I would use it to make a tote. Probably a pattern from noodle head. The blue and yellow are adorable.
I would make a quilt for a baby girl. Hopefully that is what my nephew and his wife will be having in the spring.
Rythmic hearts is very feminine to me and a Peplum top or apron would be great to stitch up.
Your blouse is gorgeous in the Rythmic in Indigo
Love this fabric. I am a quilter so that is what I would make with this…plus I love blue and white so a set of curtains to match would be nice too!
Love how your blouse turned out! Very pretty – especially paired with the yellow cardigan! If I win, I’d love to make a simple top – maybe something like yours or See Kate Sew’s Zippy Top!
Your shirt is lovely (even if you say it is too large) and I love your selection of fabric. I would choose the same fabric,”rhythmic in indigo” and make matching tops for my two granddaughters. Then I would need to find yellow sweaters for them as the yellow makes the indigo print just “pop”. Thanks for the give a way!
Gorgeous fabric. I would use it to sew a dress for my little girl. 🙂
you made a lovely top. I love these fabrics. feminine yet fun. I think I would make myself something. Haven’t don’t that in way too many years. At least 30 yrs
All of the prints are just lovely, but the birds and flowers print just begs to be fussy cut into something wonderful. I Can’t wait to get my hands on this gorgeous collection!
A quilt for my girl! I just love the hearts in this line.
Oh my goodness!!! LOVE your top! Have to go check out the pattern next, thanks for the giveaway! I would love to use these fabrics for decorating my youngest daughter’s room……wall hangings and throw pillows. 🙂
So pretty. I would make all kinds of beautiful fabrics things for my baby’s room (she’s due in March). The pink fabric in the middle would be especially cute as the bottom of curtains!
That top is awesome on you!! Hmm my 3yo daughter has outgrown most of her clothings by now so I’m thinking some new dresses for her if I win these 🙂
Ohhh…I saw the Bengal fabric tour last week and loved it. I think I like Calliope even more though. Love the fabric you used on the blouse paired with the yellow cardi. Happy to have found a new blog to check out too. I would make bags or maybe get brave and try my first garment.
Holly
I think I would make a skirt to my little princess 🙂
These are lovely fabric designs and the color combinations are so yummy. Blue and yellow are always a classic color combo. I’d make a few quilted runners and pillows with a lap quilt to match!
Love the prints and think I would emulate you and make some comfy tops; maybe even a dress! But I really love the boots. Are you sure they aren’t part of the giveaway. Size 8N.
Love the heart fabric. Would make pillows and bags
A dress. Definitely a dress. Maybe a Lillian, when it’s ready! 😉
I would make some outfits for my granddaughter
I would make my grand daughter a blouse of many colors
i would love to make a tote bag or pillow cases or a cute little girl quilt with this fabric.
A quilt for my little girl!
Love this new line of fabric by Hawthorne Threads. I’ve been in touch with them all day as they are helping me decide on some fabrics to purchase for a new quilt. I would love to use the blue fabric you made your top out of to make a dress for my 7 year old granddaughter an a matching one for her 6 month old baby sister. I would also use one of the coordinating fabrics as an accent on the dresses. I love seeing little girls in colors other than pink and purple.
The shirt is very pretty. I would like to try some scarves from these prints as well as incorporating them into a quilt or two.
What beautiful fabrics! Love your shirt, you did an awesome job!
I’d love to make a quilt as well as a bag or zippered pouch using one of the ladies in nher fancy dress.
Thank you and Hawthorne Threads for a super giveaway and a chance to win.
usairdoll(at)gmail(dot)com
I’m not sure what exactly I’d like to make yet – but something for my little sister! 🙂
I love the top! I think I’m going to check out the pattern! The fabric though would be cute additions to a quilt!
Rhythmic in Indigo is my favorite from this line. I’m making burp cloths for a new niece, and I think this would be a fun print to use–not at all babyish, but really fun to live with for awhile.
I would make little dresses for my 2 granddaughters & their dolls. & Or make quilts . I would love to make myself a couple of shirts…Just Love Hawthorne Threads drool every Tuesday & dream. Can’t wait to retire so I can sew all day.
I love this new line and all the fun things people are making! I am making open wide zipper pouches for everyone for Christmas!
My SIL changed colors in my niece’s room and Calliope is perfect! So I would make new quilts for her beds. Absolutely love this new line!
I would sew some tops and dresses for my baby daughter as well as some accessories for her room. This collection is gorgeous!
love the prints and your blouse! So lovely! I’d use the fabric in some small bag making, Christmas presents for sure! Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the blouse you sewed! Very cute!

I’ll definitely be buying some of this fabric as my daughter’s name is Calliope. Would love to win some though. I’d obviously make something for my daughter with it. Thanks food the giveaway.
Oops, Thanks for the giveaway not Thanks food the giveaway. Some crazy autocorrect. Sorry.
Gorgeous fabric! I would make a cute little dress for my grand-daughter.
This fabric line would be fabulous for a kids tote … like the one featured this summer in the Michael Miller kids craft camp tutorials: http://www.makingitfun.blogspot.ca/2014/08/mmf-kids-craft-camp-project-3-lined.html The bonus in making a kids tote is that it takes smaller pieces and would be the perfect project for a fat quarter give-away! 🙂
I would love to make some skirts for my nieces! love this fabric! thank you!
Oh, I love your blouse! I’d sew a top for my grand child out of the fabric!
Ooooh! love this fabric line!! Your top is really cool too!! Think I would make some cool pillows, or aTote….not real positive…..maybe a Tablerunner! 🙂
I would love to make myself either a top or tote bag! <3 your top & look with the yellow cardigan! 🙂
It’s adorable! I love how the graphic design looks with those tucks. Sigh… if I won a lovely bundle, I might make a shirt of the same pattern, since I am a large gal and love patterns that are sized up a bit. I am also dying to make blue and white guest room quilt 🙂
My daughter would like a skirt. Thanks for the chance.
I would like to make some bags or pillows.
I’m going to be a great aunt in March. I think this would make a beautiful baby quilt for the little girl joining our family.
I love your top – and the fabric is my favourite print!
I’d like to make one too!
I would most definitely make a patchwork twirl skirt for my daughter with thef at quarters, maybe even a new iPad case for myself
Cute! I would make a clutch or change purse.
Gorgeous fabrics. I took my first quilting class back in September, so I may make some sort of quilt.
I would make both of my granddaughters a pretty shirt or skirt.
I would make a baby quilt for sure! Oh, or maybe cut tops for my daughter… hmmm so many possibilities!
So hard to choose! I would make something for either me or it my sister!, or maybe a baby quilt!
Love the fabrics! As Christmas is right around the corner I’d be making lots of gifts (cosmetic bags, etc) and a small baby/diaper bag for my little one to carry around
I would love top make my littles a dress or a top for myself.
I would probably make new tunics for my little girls! This is wonderful fabric. 🙂
I’m not sure. So many pretty possibilities. It sure would be fun deciding!
I’d make skirts for my 4 granddaughters.
I desperately want/need a new bag! That would definitely be on my immediate make list! 🙂
This looks adorable on you, I would make something for my daughter.
A skirt for me! Or maybe a tote! I just love the fabric! And your shirt!
This would be perfect for Christmas gifts!
The blouse looks super cute on you.
And now I will be wondering the rest of the weekend if the blouse is really that big or if you are just so tiny *g*
What is unfortunately not my problem *lol*
Being it a fat quarter bundle, I would make a new table runner or a table cloth.
I’m so glad you used that fabric for an adult’s shirt. I’ve been eyeing Calliope and Bengal, but thought Calliope might be a bit too young in focus. The colors are so eye-catching though. Even though I tend to make tote bags, I might try my hand at a quilt if I win the fat quarters. Thanks for the chance!
