Today is my turn on the Curious Dream Blog Hop!

Curious Dream, by Angela Pingel, is full of soft colors. While I typically gravitate towards BRIGHT(!) colors, I’ve learned that soft, less saturated colors, can really accentuate my favorite brights. So having fabric like Curious Dream on hand can really allow us to bring depth of color to our quilt palettes.

Of course the fabrics works beautifully together in a fabric line too! Check out Angela’s booth at Houston this past October.

The booth is full of adorable projects! Did you see the hot air balloon pillow? Or the pillow with the book pocket? My personal favorite has to be the Book Nerd Quilt. Wouldn’t it be fun to play with fussy cutting the book bindings?

But of course that moss covered chair is quite the feat! (And look at that little darling asleep in the chair!) I love how Angela created the chair to tie in the real world with the imaginative, dream world of Alice in Wonderland. Perfection!

    Reoccurring dream of breaks not working in the car… I have slowed many a car using the Fred Flintstone foot drag. lol

  16. Susan Spiers says

    I dream that I am flying-like a bird- it is always a fulfilling journey to nowhere-fantastic! Thank you, Susan in Mississippi.

  19. Donna Lee says

    I have a recurring dream that I’m in a class and it’s the end of the semester, but I’ve forgotten to go to class or do any of the work, and I’m in a panic!

  20. Donna Lee says

    I have a recurring dream that I’ve forgotten to go to class or do any of the work, and it’s the end of the semester and I suddenly realize this!

  25. Patty Morris says

    Oddly enough, I so rarely remember my dreams. I sleep like a rock I guess! 🙂 I love your site – so many posts I need to peruse. Thank you for the giveaway!

  27. Kathy E. says

    As a teacher and book lover, the Book Nerd Quilt is so awesome! Curious Dream would be a dream to create with. As a 16 year old, my first job was in a nursing home, caring for the elderly residents. I worked there for 7 years. Now in my 50’s, I still dream about working there a few times a month. I feel like I should be getting a paycheck!

  30. Kathy in WV says

    My most recurrent dream is being in school…sometimes it’s elementary school..sometimes high school and sometimes college….and even though I did very well in school, graduating as Valedictorian in High School and will honors in college, I am ALWAYS unprepared, or worse—halfway dressed—in these dreams. No analyses, please…..lol.

  31. Kay says

    I occasionally have a dream about a bridge that starts to raise up while I am on it, not very pleasant. Thanks for a great giveaway. x

  34. Sarah J says

    No recurring dreams that I can think of! I just can’t get enough of the blues and yellows in this line– so lovely!

  42. Rosemary Barron says

    I have had nightmares since a child and not pleasant at all. Sewing and Quilting do make me very happy!!

  52. Nancy says

    I dream about work, not being on time, or making a mess of things, which oddly enough I don’t do in real life!

  54. Laura says

    Don’t really have reoccurring dreams. Do gave lots of daytime dreams of fabric and thread though!

  55. Michele says

    I dream about trying to open a combination lock at school and having problems so it makes me late for a class that I never ever attended because the text book is in the locker!

  58. Anne says

    My recurring dream is always being late for the airport after endlessly packing and packing….Funnily it’s always Munich airport and I’ve only been there once!

  59. Linda says

    I dream that I’m driving and I have various passengers from friends to pets. I also I’m a very bad driver in my dreams. Thanks. Grinnie1961 at gmail dot com

  62. Mary D says

    I often dream about water and my being in it in such variety of ways.

  63. Pam says

    I’m a teacher and I often dream about being stuck in some situation and suddenly remembering I’m supposed to be in class. Thankfully I wake up! Thanks for beautiful giveaway. This fabric seems so magical.

  65. Janie McCombs says

    I love the nerd quilt. I don’t have dreams. I know that is unusual but I don’t. Thank you for the lovely giveaway.

  67. Sandy K says

    I don’t seem to have any reoccurring dreams. Tonight I hope to dream of winning these pretty fabrics.

  70. Sandy Allen says

    I keep dreaming that I am awake and can’t get to sleep…wonder what that means?? I wake up tired, too.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  72. Lori Morton says

    Can’t say I have a recurring dream… but don’t remember dreaming most nights… Thank you for chance to win your Give-a-way tho!! 🙂

  79. Beth T. says

    Lately I dream that we left our sliding glass door open and the cats get out of the house. Except we don’t live in that house any longer–haven’t for twelve years. But that doesn’t reduce my anxiety in my dream. Oh well. Stress dreams, grrrr.

  80. Amanda Ashton says

    I used to have anxiety dreams when I was working – suddenly having to do something I wasn’t prepared for – but those stopped when I retired. Don’t think I have any recurring dreams now!

  83. Lisa Marie says

    I don’t have any recurring dreams when I’m sleeping, but when I’m awake I have a recurring dream of playing with beautiful fabric! Love this collection, so unique!

  84. Anne says

    I am not sure I have reoccuring dreams. I do sometimes find myself waking up and thinking ‘huh? how did xxx end up in that situation with xxx and xxx?’. Usually they combine people that in real life do not know each other, in situations that they haven’t been in. Does dat sound familiar? Thanks for the chance to win!

  90. Jayne says

    Gorgeous fabric! My dream is being in school and forgetting my locker combination and freaking out because I need to get to class!

  92. Rosemary Bolton says

    Oh what a lovely and inspiring blog, I just subscribed!
    This fabric is stunning
    Rebecca your works are beautiful too

  93. Rosemary Bolton says

    I have a lot of recurring dreams.
    Many of my dreams are about my long ago years of working for an orthopaedic surgeon. Those are always frustrating because it has been too many years since I worked at an RN.
    Other dreams often involve elevators and stairs.
    Thank you for offering a give away. I feel like I already won just finding your blog

  99. Margaret says

    I have the dream about showing up to take a final exam without having been to class all semester. And being late to school and not knowing which class I’m supposed to be in.

  101. Anne Simonot says

    Once in a while, I dream about my dad. He died of cancer 14 years sgo, so it’s bittersweet — sad, but also a happy dream.

  106. bookboxer says

    I don’t usually remember my dreams, though I’ve been accused of daydreaming a lot… Thanks for the generous giveaway.

  116. Szamóca says

    Going home where I used to live as a kid. A 9floor house, we lived on the 8th floor. In my dream if I go up by elevator, I never reach our floor. Thus (though I know it is a dream), I go up the stairs. 18 stairs on every floor.
    Thanks for the chance.

  117. Ella says

    Teeth…losing them, breaking them. Apparently most of the nights I’m clenching or grinding my teeth the worst. (I now sleep with a biteguard to protect my teeth!)

  121. Carol says

    I often dream of being late, or completely forgetting something (like that I am in college again and I haven’t gone to class for weeks.) Anxiety….ugh! Pretty fabric! I also LOVE that book nerd quilt!

  124. karen swann says

    I’m a retired teacher–5 years now!–but I still have school dreams. The day starts and I haven’t a clue what to teach, I’ve forgotten to wear . . . ahem, I’ve forgotten to go to school, we’re on a field trip and I’ve lost track of some kids–you get the idea 🙂

  125. Amy L says

    I often dream of hurricanes and tornadoes too. And bridges falling out from under me. Needless to say, I wake up sweating after one of these dreams.

  134. Libby says

    I often dream about opening doors in a house. Love the fabrics! And I just signed up to follow you on email.

  137. Cathy Wilson says

    When I was working, I dreamed about losing important paperwork! Now, I sleep so soundly that I usually don’t remember my dreams- retirement is wonderful!

  139. MoeWest says

    I don’t have any reoccurring dreams but I sometimes dream about the book I read just before falling asleep.

  140. Katy M says

    I love that book nerd quilt! I always dream that I’m getting the bargain of the century then I wake up and I’m disappointed!

  142. Mara says

    I don’t have too many dreams anymore, always waking up with the kids, but I have always had the dream where I can fly, I am unable to walk or run, so I can only fly everywhere, it’s an interesting dream.

  147. Meghan H. says

    I have been having nightmares lately where people or animals in my dreams are getting hurt. They are horrible dreams and I wake up out of sleep from them.

  152. Summer says

    I don’t have recurring dreams, at least none that I remember. I guess I won’t go through the looking glass anytime soon!

  154. Rebmara says

    I dream of cycling somewhere (could be to school a few kilometers to pick up kids, or to a friend ca 250 km away) and everytime I’m almost at my destination I’m back home and need to cycle that same route again (and again, and agian….) I wake up exhausted after dreams like these 🙁

  156. Carla Hundley says

    Lovely material and
    wonderful projects
    using it. I don’t have
    any recurring dreams.
    Merry Christmas.
    Carla from Utah

  157. Allison Evrard says

    Such beautiful fabric colors! For some reason, I have dreams about riding on trains. The dreams are all different but I’m always going somewhere on a train.

  159. Judi Duncan says

    I hate to admit in a public forum but I dream a lot about not being able to find a clean public restroom…it’s just awful!

  169. Patricia Hersl says

    I have horrible recurring dreams. Do you have a psychologist handy? The first is about bathrooms, often in concentration camps. In the second, I seem to be running outside, or find myself outside, minus pertinent articles of clothing and trying to cover up the parts. If you met me, you would like I’m perfectly normal and lots of fun…..

  170. Susan K says

    I don’t tend to dream as much anymore but being lost in buildings has been a recurring dream/nightmare. Whether it is a school, hospital, large house, mall, or work building it seems I’m always wondering around lost.

  172. Kerry Ryan says

    I have no recurring dreams. But, beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win. Kerry-ryan (at) att (dot) net

  174. Susan Snooks says

    My recurring dream is one of falling! Do you think I might believe I’m Alice falling down the rabbit hole!?

  175. Marianne says

    I used to always dream about a man rolling a tire down the road when I was sick as a kid, I hated it. No more, thank God.

  177. Paula says

    I have a weird dream about watching a hot air balloon fall out of the sky … thankfully not often! Thank you for the giveaway!

  181. Anita says

    I am a retired paramedic of 20 years. I dream over & over that I am trying to get to work & I can’t find my uniform shirt or shoes or realize I forgot to go to work altogether.

  183. GloryB says

    I used to dream about walking by a stream and my teeth falling out. No pain and hundreds and humdreds of teeth that filled buckets which I left by the stream. I wasn’t frightened, and seemed quite happy but always woke before I found out where I was going.
