Who's ready for some sweet air mail? Sealed with a Kiss, my newest line for Robert Kaufman fabrics has just released and will be shipping to stores in May. It's been a while since I've had a new line and I'm super excited for this one to start showing up in stores, on cutting tables and in all of your lovely creations.
I designed this line based on love letters my boyfriend (who recently popped the question and is now my fiance [insert huge smile here!!]) sends to me. We're incredibly excited about our next chapter together and I *love* that this line is releasing in time for me to make some cute wedding related goodies.
All three color ways make me equally happy. And every time I look at them, I have a new favorite.
Caveat: Having some computer trouble which means I'm unable to accurately color balance the photos I took in the studio, but the ones shown on the Robert Kaufman site here and in the image below are correct :)
I heart the hearts on the selvage.
Happy stack of mail :)
Six text prints with lines from notes from my sweetie.
The 4th from the bottom in the picture above is the red (boo misbehaving computer).
AND its been printed in slicker/coated cotton!
The red below is much more accurate than the color in the picture above.
Oh, orange... How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!
I can't wait to sew up some shirts with these harlequin diamonds!
I'll randomly choose a winner who will get a FQ set of all prints. Winner #2 will receive a pack of Charm Squares. International entries welcomed. And everyone make sure I have a way to contact you!
SWAK. xoxo

These are gorgeous, I love them and want to win. Martine
ReplyDeleteI sent a quilt to a family who lost a child to a horrible disease and I just received the nicest card in the mail from them. It really made my day.
ReplyDeleteI always send a handwritten thank you note to my parents at Christmas which includes thanks for the gift to me and my husband, and handwritten notes by each of our children for their gifts as well. New school pictures are also included! I love the idea of a personal handwritten note for any occasion! Gorgeous fabric and charm packs are my favorite precut!

This is such an adorable line! My husband and I were high school sweethearts and he was older than I am so when he went away to college we kept in touch by mail, I would doodle all over the pages' margins and leave a kiss with pink lipstick at the end. Lol! Cheesy 'ol me. We had cell phones but I'm a romantic and it was much more exciting to have to wait for the mail! Congrats on one of the cutest lines yet this year! faithlovefabric@gmail.com is my email just in case!
ReplyDeleteI was cleaning the other day and found a birthday card from my grandma who died in December. I'm so glad I kept it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your engagement. Letters are always welcome in our house.
ReplyDeleteAwwe so nice for you!!! my last piece of mail...for me was a quilt book thwt I won....country girl modern
ReplyDeleteMy last sent piece was a thank you note and the last piece I received was a note from my daughter who lives on the opposite coast.
ReplyDeleteThe laat piece I received was my dad sending me hia fruit cake recipe...I asked him for it because I actually like fruit cake!
ReplyDeleteI received cute thank you notes from 2 granddaughters for Christmas gifts recently. I guess it's been a really long time since I received sweet nothings in the mail
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this and I am so excited for you! The last mail we received was a letter for my 6-year old from her cousin in Portland. They write letters to each other back and forth and I think it's awesome. My email is stephydinger at yahoo dot com.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your recent engagement, Laurie! Happiness to both of you. :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet and happy line! I'm especially loving those envelopes and the text print (the pink/orange colourway is a must have!).
The last piece of sweet snail mail I sent was to a lovely friend in Sweden. I used fabric scraps and stitched them to cardstock to make a one-of-a-kind card, just for her.
These are adorable prints! I love handwritten letters and don't take enough time to send them. The last sweet snail mail

I love your new line, especially the ones with the text on them!
ReplyDeleteI was ill recently and my friends sent me a beautiful get well card with messages from each of them. I really treasure it :)
Love the new fabrics, so sweet! And congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI received a surprise package in the mail from one of my online friends. Getting mail is one of my favourite things in the whole world!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I used to date long distance and we would keep a journal of thoughts for each other. Congratulations btw :)
ReplyDeleteI received a particularly appreciative thank you note from a bride.
ReplyDeleteThe last awesome piece of snail mail I got was a thank you letter from a dear friend. I had sent her a hand made card - a tribute to our neighborhood raccoon named Dwayne.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your engagement and fabric line. My husband sent me an aniversary card since he was out of town for work. Thanks for the chance to win some of your adorable fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove the new line and the inspiration behind them. So happy for you Laurie!
ReplyDeleteForgot to tell about my sweet letter -- I received a sweet, silly poem about wanting a tiny moment in my busy life. How could I not make room for him after that kind of effort? It was very touching.
ReplyDeleteAdorbs!!! Must have soon!!
ReplyDeleteI send handmade cards all the time...just sent one last week. Love these new prints!
ReplyDeleteI just sent my Mom an Easter card. Even though she only lives seven miles away, she likes to get mail.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a Dr. Seuss Quilt for a little boy ...so cute! and I received the nicest thank you note with photos of the little boy using it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your engagement and new line! My grandmother and I send letters, and that's always special.
ReplyDeleteLove this fabric!! So lovely! The best snail mail I get is an annual Christmas letter from my old boss in a job and a city I left behind thirteen years ago. She writes without fail every year a handwritten letter (with a fountain pen, no less!) that updates me on her research work and her beautiful family. I am less reliable at writing back (often an email with a few attached files with pictures of my kids) but that letter from her means a lot to me. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I think the last snail mail I got was from my Aunt. It was a delightful out of the blue just thinking about you kind of note. It makes me smile thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love to write and receive letters. I try to send a note or two every week - thank yous, get well. And that's in addition to birthday cards to our extended family. Great idea for a fabric line.
ReplyDeleteYou have hit a home run agin, I love the colors and the envelopes. The texts are so sweet, especially since they are love letters.
ReplyDeleteMy last letter was a sweet thank you from my niece for a wedding gift. I miss getting letters!
ReplyDeletei send lots more than i receive. last week i sent a card to my bestie ... we live in the same city yet rarely see eachother! thanks for a chance. love ORANGE!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your engagement! Yay! I love all the colors in this new line! I love receiving mail and still send christmas and birthday cards via mail. The best kind if mail is fabric packages! Thanks for the giveaway! cherisetoweratyahoodotca
ReplyDeleteI sent my God children all little note cards with $5 Dairy Queen gift cards so I could "take them out for ice cream" though I live very far from them!
ReplyDeletecongrats! and you are lucky to get a thank you any more
ReplyDeleteThe last bit of sweet mail I received arrived yesterday, a tender note from a friend, wanting to know how my heart is healing after the loss of our three dear dogs this winter. Such a compassionate letter from a very busy person. I felt so loved when I read it and that glow has lingered.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your engagement, and long live the love letter! My husband kept all the crazy short stories and letters and lists I sent him when we were first dating. There really is nothing like a hand-written card to capture a specific moment in time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Laurie!!!! How exciting for you! Congrats on your new line. It's so cute. My last important missive was to my daughter in law for her birthday. I wrote her a very personal love note to encourage and appreciate her in our family. I also transcribed and printed a small journal I kept on my oldest son during his first year of life. It was a present for his 40th.
ReplyDeleteOh these are wonderful! If I do win please email skeetersawatcomcastdotnet...Thank you SueAnn
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new fabrics ! Love the colors & the emotions
ReplyDelete.....I love to make my own notecards & decorate the
envelopes too. I color copy small drawings & paintings
then do a collage adding little ink touches. My last
mailing went to a niece & her family ! Fun way to keep
in touch !
Congratulations on your engagement !!!!
Congrats on your engagement and this wonderful line! I mostly help my kids send sweet notes to their grandparents now more than sending my own sweet mail.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I have all of the love letters my husband sent me when were dating- they're the best! Most recently, I got a birthday card from my god-daughter, who is 5. She had to sound out all of the words herself, so the silent letters are missing in some words, which makes it all the more precious. Thanks for the chance to win such cute fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI got a lovely handmade Easter card last week. I like to send little crafty things to friends or relatives for no particular occasion -- surprises in the mail are the best! I recently sent one of my aunts a couple pot holders I had made from scraps. And of course I always include a note on lovely stationery.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you congratulations! My sweetheart of almost 20 years wrote me wonderful sweet letters when he was away at sea and I have them still. He always write me sweet cards on Valentines and our Anniversary, so the last one was in February. He is retired now and with me always so sweet letters are now words share everyday. I wish you such happiness in finding your lifemate!

ReplyDeleteI spent the month of December in the hospital and my husband wrote on a napkin about how much he loved me and not to scare him like that again.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't know that I ever sent a letter in the mail. I have known my husband since high school. I used to write love notes to him though. So, if you count that it has been about 12 years since I wrote my last one.
ReplyDeleteI would love some Sealed with a kiss fabric. Thanks for the giveaway!

Last week I received a homemade card from my 8 year old niece thanking me for throwing her a great birthday party. I live 8 hours away and have not really had a chance to be there for her birthday even though we do something special when I do get up there. This time I planned and schemed and she had a most wonderful birthday party! It turned out great, too!! She definitely felt like a princess all day :)
ReplyDeleteI received a letter with a homemade card from my neice the other day and so I wrote back. She was thrilled to receive a letter back - ahhhh, the power of sending LOVE through the post!!
ReplyDeleteI have a several hundred postcards that I collected over the past 30 years. They sat in a drawer collecting dust. Now, I have started sending them out. Just little notes to my family members and friends far away. It's fun to look at those old cards, and fun to think of how people will react to getting them in the mail.

She finally found out that it was me and then sent a thank you note!
