Urban Circus - Giveaway!

First, thank you all so much for your very thoughtful and sweet notes on my last post. They were really wonderful companions and will be terribly missed. I'm still a pretty big weepy mess but each day will get a bit easier. All of the personal stories you shared, good thoughts and prayers you sent my way are really tremendously kind. Thank you.

Let's get to that giveaway now! As you all know, my second line with Robert Kaufman called Urban Circus is coming out soon. It will start shipping in August which is just around the corner! I can hardly believe it... I think it's a bright and cheery line and I see so many possibilities for cute projects! Quilts, pillows, pjs, bags, clothes for the kiddos, clothes for big people (I would love a skirt from the elephants...).

I whipped up a picnic quilt a few weeks ago that I just love. The quilt pattern is from Erin at House on the Hill Road and it has little pockets on the back of each corner so you can tuck a rock in each corner to keep your quilt from blowing away. It's hand tied and with the big 16x16 squares it came together in an evening. I just backed it with a simple bed sheet so I didn't have to mess with piecing the back.




Here's the details on the giveaway. Good luck!!
-I'd love to hear what projects you'd make with Urban Circus
-Two lucky winners will each get FQ packs with both Spring and Earth color ways
-I'll draw the winners this Sunday AM, 7/10

Urban Circus in Spring



Urban Circus in Earth



A quick update and another fabric giveaway! After you leave your comment here, make sure you go visit my pal Sam's blog, Mummysam. She's got a new line coming out with Robert Kaufman in the same time frame and you will LOVE her fabric!

  1. We are having a baby in February so I would most definitely be making something baby-related! I'm thinking carseat cover, burp cloths, and pieces to a stroller quilt... but I could easily change my mind to a block toy or a pair of cute little pants! Love the pink elephants!

  2. i'm so excited for your new line, love the prints, the animals, and the colours! they are perfect for kids' projects - clothes, backpacks, quilts and pillows! thanks so much for the giveaway and congratulations again on your new line!

  3. First of all, I would cut off the selvages and make something super special with them. :)

    And then, hmmmm, I would look at them for a really long time and just savor all the artistry.

    And then I would gather up the courage to actually cut into them and make a little throw for each of my grandchildren to enjoy while reading books.

  5. Super cute picnic blanket! I'd love to make one of those, we don't have a picnic blanket and I think that is sorely lacking on my part. I have several baby quilts to make this summer (another round of friend babies!) and I think the earth line would be great for a boy without being babyish at all, as would the spring line for a girl. And I'd love a skirt made with those elephants too!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Spring colors will be a pinafore for niece aged 18 months and earth colors will be a shirt for my nephew aged 6 months!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Looks like I'm lucky number one!

    Baby quilt! Hopefully I'll be pregnant again by the end of the summer, and once we find out what we're having, I'll go ahead and make the quilt!

    (PS: pop over to my blog, I came up with an awesome binding calculator that all of you quilters should be interested in)

    ReplyDelete
  8. I see lots of baby quilts! Those giraffes and elephants are just too cute and in colorways for both boys and girls!
    Thanks for offering a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  14. I have a friend who has been begging me to track down some Urban Circus in Earth ever since I showed it to her so I can make a fabulous throw pillow with it for her living room. She LOVES the elephants and bright colors!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Absolutely love them!! I need (would love) to make a picnic blanket/quilt with them!

    ReplyDelete
  16. My first grandchild is due in October - a boy! I would love the Urban Circus in Earth to make him some cushions for a rocking chair and floor cushions!

    ReplyDelete
  17. how generous of you!!! With Spring, I'd definitely make some of my go-to purses, Made By Rae's ButterCup Bag. I think it would look amazing in the pink ele's lined with the yellow dot!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Maybe a bunch of boxy pouches, so I can spread the love around, though I'd be sorely tempted to make a quilt and keep it!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think a baby quilt for my husband's friend who is having his first baby this December. I want to find really cute, adorably delicious fabric for their quilt and this just might have to be it!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, I'd make a quilt of course! And I'd definitely fussy cut some of the animals and applique them on some shirts for my son.

    P.S. So sorry to hear about your pup!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I see kids quilts! Happy smiling kids quilts :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oooh, would LOVE some of this gorgeous fabric;) I've made a couple pair of the pants in Anna Marie Horner's Handmade Beginnings book - using some of my pieces of Heather Ross lightening bugs fabric on the little piece on the bum of pants - so cute!! Would just love to make my boy some with those little elephants on the bum - so so cute!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. LOVE your Urban Circus!
    I think something fun for my nieces (5yo & 1yo) would definitely be in order. Maybe a doll quilt for the 5yo and a playmat for the 1yo? The 5yo starts kindergarten in the fall so a cute pencil pouch would definitely be in order!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Cute Cute fabric! I would for sure make a baby quilt and I think bumper pads would be great also! Thank you for the chance to win some of your fun fabric and for your creativity.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I for sure would be making some baby items....bed skirt some window coverings etc. I have no idea yet but maybe even a matching quilt. I would be so excited to win and if nothing else I am so excited to buy the fabrics when they are out.

    ReplyDelete
  26. these are amazing...thanks for the giveaway. i would likely use it fir a quilt...maybe for our new baby

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love it all, but don't know exactly what I'd make with it just now. Something grand, of course, when inspiration hit.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh fun fun fun!! You know I'm thinking some softy jingle blocks would be SO fun with this fabric! My son would love them! Also I have a sister and sister in law both having babies at the end of the year...there will be lots of quilting to do!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I really love this line of fabric. I would love to make a baby blanket with this fabric. It is so bright and fun and would make a perfect baby blanket.

    ReplyDelete
  30. My best friend is having a baby next month so I would make an adorable quilt for her coming little one! Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  31. First I'd use some in clothing for my granddaughters-how I love the pink elephants. Then I would have the scraps-probably a lot because I always buy extra yardage that would be perfect for quilts. My granddaughters get a huge kick out of seeing fabric from a dress or top in a quilt-they can't outgrow the quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I would probably make a skirt for my daughter. What fun fabric!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love these! First, I would design 3 unique baby blankets. (I would have to decide which fabric I wanted more of for each back and get it ordered). I would save some fussy cuts for 3 wall hangings designed in the style of "Don't Look Now" and her Rocket pillow tutorial. One of the blankets and wall hangings would go to each of my three children for their first child, (which means one would get one for a 1st birthday). :) If I could save even one scrap for each family, I would put it on the front of a onesie or a bib or even a cute bag. :) Oh what fun I would have!!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I see baby quilts, baby dresses, even some little boy shirts and pants, and a skirt for me! Wow, I'm going to need a lot of this fabric.
    I love the colors. You are amazing and so talented!
    Thank you for making my day just by showing some fun fabric that made me smile (that's how I know I need it in clothes I will wear, it will make me happy)

    ReplyDelete
  35. These are great. I am going to make a crossover quilt for my daughters bed.
    thanks for the chance

    ReplyDelete
  36. hmm...I would likely make a doll quilt for my girls or a stuffed toy. I am dabbling in stuffed toys lately :) I have tufted tweets..it's waiting for the perfect pattern or idea to come to me...soon I hope.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I would make a quilt for my friend who's expecting a baby. They've been trying for quite some time to get pregnant with child #2 and she's expecting in January! I love both color ways but because I'm a mom to 2 boys, the Earth fabrics really call my name!

    ReplyDelete
  38. We have a new baby arriving in the family in January. This would be perfect for a baby quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think I might redo the room my granddaughter uses in my house with curtains, pillows, and a quilt! Or maybe some clothes for her.... or trim some for me! Or all of the above! A fat quarter pack is a wealth of riches!! PS Love that picnic blanket! What a great idea to put rocks in the corner pockets!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I would certainly make a quilt which would then be snorkeled away for the birth of my first niece or nephew (fairly soon hopefully! woot woot).I really like the simple design of the quilt you have featured. It really highlights the fabrics.

    If I have any left over i would make a stuffed giraffe with the giraffe prints.

    ReplyDelete
  41. lOVE loVe LoVE
    Grandbaby boy due mid August..looks perfect for making him something Grand!!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Oh, these would be perfect for grandkids! And the picnic quilt for one of their families. What a great idea about the rock pockets. *S*

    Let me add my condolences about your pets. I know how much they must have meant to you. *hugs*

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would love to make a twin quilt for my nephew!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I am always making gifts, but I think I would be a bit selfish with this fabric because I am a bit of an elephant freak!! I LOVE elephants...I think a little summer bag is in order with the Spring collection and I would use the Earth colletion (along with some solids that match) to make a little patchwork picnic blanket. I need a new one, and one with elephants on it would be just perfect!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. What a fun giveaway! I'd love to make a baby quilt with this fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  46. These fabrics are so dreamy! I am thinking of making a great twirly skirt for my daughter, who has her own great style!

    ReplyDelete
  47. these fabrics would be so cute for a kid's summer hat, or maybe a dress, or shorts. So cute! I would love to have these to use!

    ReplyDelete
  48. A friend has decorated her daughter's room in a girly jungle theme, so I think I'd probably make something for her room. A wall hanging, like maybe a collage of different sized canvases covered with the Urban Circus fabrics.
    It's beautiful, really!
    I'm in the LA Modern Quilt Guild, and we had our meeting last night. Leslie shared how wonderful it was to meet you in Austin, and there were 8 very happy people after the giveaway. It was great to see all the fabrics live and in person. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

    I think I would make some patchwork pillowcases out of this fabric! :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oh, I'd make a patchwork quilt for my friends little one and a patchwork skirt for my daughter!

    ReplyDelete
  51. My littlest girl absolutely loves having animals on her clothes -- is always begging to wear her turtle dress -- so I think I'd definitely need to make her an elephant dress! Or giraffe dress!

    The fabrics look outstanding!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I would make a quilt for sure!!! LOVE the fabric!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. We're due to have a baby any day and I plan to buy some of this fabric to make crib sheets!

  55. A good friend is having a baby next week, and while baby has already gotten a quilt from me, her big guy is about to be 2 and should have a special Meg-quilt for his big day! I'd absolutely love to use the Earth prints for that!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I would like to make a disappearing 9 patch with those fabrics.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'd most definitely use the fabrics to make a quilt...maybe a baby version of my Euclid quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Gorgeous fabric Laurie! Ofcourse I'd make a quilt. But I'd also make some little bibs - they would make the cutest bibs (not sure if I'd let my kids wear them while eating - they might get food on them!)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  60. I just found out last week that I am expecting my first Grandchild. I think this fabric would be perfect for a baby quilt.

    Such a cute picnic blanket! This prints are fun to use for just about anything. :)

    ReplyDelete
  62. So cute! I'd definitely make a quilt (or three...) in a simple pattern to let the adorable fabric steal the show. I'd love to make an apron too. Really the possibilities are endless!

    ReplyDelete
  63. First and foremost, I want to make a tote using the Giraffes in Earth as the focus fabric!! Then a Spring Elephants pillowcase or two :D

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  70. I think I'd make a little dress for my hairdresser's new little girl with the spring colors. And then with the other I'd make summer shorts and an appliqued t-shirt for my son. I'd probably have enough to also do some pants of some variety. Maybe a cute pocket on a pair of denim pants to go with the shirt!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I would love to make a dress for my daughter!

    ReplyDelete
  72. They will be lovely as giant pockets on kid's apron!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I would like to make baby bibs out of the spring urban circus! I can also see a cute quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Lovely matching aprons for mummy and son while he helps me in the kitchen. Or a super cute, bright quilt for next baby due in August. Of course I will have to rope in one of my more crafty friends to whip these up for me. I'll supply the vino.

    ReplyDelete
  75. the prints look fun :D i'd like to use it to make some projects in "sew darn cute", or the apron on the cover of "sew so cute".

    ReplyDelete
  76. This would make some awesome pillows. I like it!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Oh my. The colors are fantastic! My little boys need some new summer shorts. These prints would be perfect for that.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hmm, quite honestly I'm not quite sure what I would do with them -- pillows, curtains, frames, a quick quilt? I'm in the process of updating two of the boys' rooms and I'm sure it would be put to good use in those spaces.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I pretty much only make pillows and blankets because they're easy, but these adorable prints would be great for patchwork apron.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I would make a hanging pocket for my double stroller, one that holds my keys phone and other important things inside, these prints would go great with the stroller colors!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I would make a couple of pillows for my daughter's very first apartment. She is still in school (UC Berkeley) and finally has a very small place (It's really a rented room) of her own. I just love your fabric. The colors are just beautiful. Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  124. My 20 month old will be moving to her "big girl bed" in the next few months. She needs a fun quilt and pillow to celebrate this. She loves loves loves animals, and I hate hate hate typical cartoony commercial options. (Let's leave the Looney Tunes and Dora on TV, not on her bedding!) Anyway, I think she'd adore bedding made from these prints.

    Sooooo excited to see your work being produced on this big scale! Now I can't wait to see the Donkeys in Wellies...!

    ReplyDelete
  129. Love the fabric...I would make a baby quilt for a very special baby born too early in Honduras. He was 3 months early and has had a rocky start, but has made improvements every day. His name is Michael and he is a fighter. An Urban Circus blankie would be the best!

    ReplyDelete
  130. Okay, your fabric is made to go into baby articles NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. But honestly I see myself buying lots of the sheep fabric. My daughter is an Agriculture teacher and heads up the sheep projects, pig and goat too. She would be silly excited for a quilt made out of it!! Thank you and keep on designing. Kathie

    ReplyDelete
  131. these are just so cute! if i am the lucky winner, i would use the spring palette for a tiny dress for my little 7 month girl and the scraps would go into a quilt. the earth colorway would be the foundation for crib bedding for my sister in law who is due with a boy...

  139. Fun fabric! I would love to make a baby quilt with this!

    ReplyDelete
  140. Those fabrics would look great in our play room. I'm thinking kidlet bags from jcasa, and floor pillows.

  141. This fabric would be just perfect to make a baby quilt(s) for my sister who is expecting twins.

  142. This is the perfect line for a baby crib or play quilt! I can't wait to get my hands on it! So adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  143. How cool is this?!?! My first visit to your blog - and the day our new grandchild is due - and the nursery is decorated in jungle - AND I haven't started the baby quilt yet (no surprise there), so I'm off to pick the perfect pattern (nice alliteration, huh)! Will be set to go when my fat quarters arrive ;) Seriously, I love this line and will be back to the site regularly! Susan

  144. these are just adorable and would be so perfect for my son's baby that's in the midst of being born as we speak!! don't know at this point whether girl or boy, but he's been collecting elephants his whole life as does my brother, and as did my grandfather and my mother-in-law.

  145. I see this as a great wall hanging in a kid's room with matching pillows!

    ReplyDelete
  146. I think a cute patchwork kids skirt would be first on my list!

  151. Now that I have a girl (after 3 boys) something mommy and me matching would be fun. Kicky skirts with some elephant trim perhaps. And your post reminds me I need a picnic quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I'd make a table quilt and napkins for the kitchen! Can't wait till the fabric is available!

    ReplyDelete
  153. Totally a quilt! Or some sundresses for my nieces. Or a crib bumper. Or... Or... Aack! How could one ever decide??

    I have to totally agree that the selvedges would be coming off right away and be used by me for just me. Aside from that, well, maybe I should throw all the ideas into a hat and draw one out??

    ReplyDelete
  154. Too cute- those happy smile-inducing fabrics are begging to be made into a baby quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  155. Love the colors! So fun! I would have to make a quilt, and a skirt, and think how fun a bag for my 4 year old who loves purses! Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  156. My son is growing out of the baby stage into more "cool dude" stage...much to my sadness sometimes. Perhaps a big boy "quillow" or bag for all those puzzle pieces that go AWOL, would look great using this fabric. Thank you for your generous giveaway!

  157. I would like to do a baby quilt with tall skinny bars cut from the giraffes and fat squares cut from the elephants because I think it would adorable. I especially love the Spring colorway. Thanks for the chance at winning!

    ReplyDelete
  158. We have some new babies coming soon (friends) and I believe some new play mats would be in store!

    ReplyDelete
  159. These would make the cutest small quilts. Perfect for new little babes :)

  160. My husband likes bright cheerful colors and animals, especially elephants. He collects all sorts of elephant ornaments. Urban circus is just so perfect to turn into a quilt for my husband.

    ReplyDelete
  161. With two grand nieces (just turned 2 and 5) and two more grands on the way, these would provide some fun fabric to make things for them all. I love these colorful animals and know they would too. Looking forward to more come Sept. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

  162. Wonderful Giveaway! I am all about the quilts so that is what I would make. These fabrics would definitely make one show stopping quilt! =)

  164. My mom's favorite animal is the giraffe, and she also loves bright colors and elephants. I'd make placemats and napkins for her. So glad this fabric line is coming out!

    ReplyDelete
  165. I would love to add this to a baby quilt that i am making for a good friend but I may be forced to make a pillow for me! It would be a true test to give every bit of it up but then again, this baby is going to be very special.
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  166. I love the picnic quilt, so maybe one of those. I also think one could go into children aprons for my children.

  167. Congratulations on Urban Circus coming out (again) in August! It must be amazing to see your name on a selvage... and it is happening often for you, now. So cool!

    I have three little girls, so I imagine Urban Circus would make some good looking dresses. Or I'm sure I could make a lovely little quilt with them too. A nap size quilt sounds perfect. :)

    Thanks for another great giveaway!

  170. Cute fabric. A quilt would be adorable also my puppy needs a new bright colored walking coat.

  173. So many possibilities... I would start by making some baby toys (stacking rings and some balls) followed by a baby quilt for my sister's first little one due in November. Your fabrics are a perfect combination of childish whimsy and high style - my absolute favorites for children's projects! Congratulations on this line and keep up the good work!

  174. I love the giraffes. We have a soon-to-be kindergartener in the house, and these would make great back to school clothes or a backpack! Thank you for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  175. I love the idea of a skirt. I think the giraffes would make a fun skirt as well as the elephants. They would also make some cute kids clothes. My real love is quilts though and it would probably all be used in a fun quilt before I ever got around to clothing.
    Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Such great fabric, as usual! Too many cute ideas to make it would be hard to choose. I would certainly use every bit of the fabric, right down to any scraps leftover from projects and also the selvages. I'd make a bag, a wallet, a skirt, a headband, table runner, pillows, doggie beds, and of course a few quilts and wall hangings. Thanks for being so generous and doing another giveaway.

  179. i just found your blog (and fabric!) this morning while searching for a yoga mat bag. I LOVE your fabric! I think urban circus would make a really cute bunting for my toddler's room. it would also make cute needle case covers, fabric keepsake envelopes, wall pockets. i'm in love *sigh*

  182. Would love that fabric. Such a good play on colour. I think some shopping totes and place mats for the grandchildren.

  183. This is such great fabric... I love when I find fabric that is cool enough for boy stuff and still sweet enough for girls. I have two boys and am getting the itch to add to my brood, so all I can think about sewing lately is baby stuff... like bibs, super cool burp rags, a diaper bag, maybe some giraffe appliques on a little newborn onesie and about a million other little baby accessories. Of course, I don't want to jinx anything by sewing baby girl stuff so this fabric is perfect. I can make boy stuff (and secretly imagine how it might look for a little girl... maybe?)

    ReplyDelete
  184. Am I too late? I would totally use the fabric to make an awesome quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  185. What a really cute group of fabrics you have designed. If I could win, I would make a twin sized quilt to put on the bed my grandkids sleep in when they sleepover. It would be a big hit!

  195. Oh wow! I didn't know I could love those prints even more than I did before. I am crazy for the new colourways! I am a nanny to an adorable set of twins (boy and a girl) and I would love to be able to make them matching big boy and big girl quilts for their beds.

    ReplyDelete
  199. Love them! I've got two toddlers who are 18 months apart, Aidan and Olivia. They share a room, so these would be fabulous to use as bedding. I think coordinating quilts for them would be lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  200. So cute! I love how the animals have their own prints on them. I would make a quilt for my new little niece/nephew, who is due to arrive in October.
