Oooooh, have I got a treat for you!
I’d like to welcome Fat Quarter Shop as a blog sponsor (Thank you Fat Quarter Shop!)! To celebrate they are giving away a bundle of Nicey Jane, by Heather Bailey, to one of my readers!
Many of you are familiar with Fat Quarter Shop. They support our quilting community not only by carrying a large selection of quilting cottons from all design walks, they also supply many inspirational and instructional resources such as project sheets and YouTube videos. They ship world wide, which I know is very important for my international readers. You can also find Fat Quarter Shop on Facebook and Instagram.
Nicey Jane, by the wonderful Heather Bailey, is one of my favorite reprints. I instantly fell in love with Heather’s work while looking for a tutorial on how to make Yo Yos! Sadly, that was a bit too late to get Nicey Jane on the first go round.
Nicey Jane features crisp spring greens, a vibrant yellow, and a classy aqua.
On the flip side there are pinks with a bright coral punch and a subtle orange.
It’s truly a beautiful line of fabric.
Fat Quarter Shop is giving away a fat quarter bundle of Nicey Jane to one of my readers. Shop from the whole line here. If you are looking for a quilt pattern that uses fat quarters may I suggest my Vera quilt pattern or my B.F.F. quilt pattern? I think either pattern would look wonderful made up with Nicey Jane.
If you are one of my readers or followers, please leave a comment on this blog post to enter. Tell me what is your favorite part about Spring (or Autumn if you are on the other side of the world!)? I’ll randomly choose a winner Monday, March 28th. I’ll contact the winner by email (make sure I can find your email!), to get your mailing address. Then I’ll update this post with the winner.
Happy playing and happy Spring!
My favorite thing about spring – the flowers, the fresh air, opening windows to freshen the house, longer days, sunshine. I love spring!
I love the return of all the color in the Spring! It really refreshes the inspiration for quilting!
I love the smell of the fresh air and earth. It’s so special. And I also love the warming wind.
Thanks for the chance!
Greetings, Rike
The best part of spring? NO MORE SNOW! LOL! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love Spring – I can plan my garden for the summer! Thanks!
Now that we live in the Lower 48 again I am loving all the flowering trees. I missed them a lot when we lived in Alaska.
Would love this beautiful bundle!

No more shoveling snow! Time to open the windows and let the fresh air in!
and hopefully win some lovely spring fabrics!
My favorite thing I. Spring is getting outside and beginning the gardening tasks. Last summer I moved I to a house with roses and some other wonderful pkants that had been sorely neglected … I am looking to bringing the garden back to life.
Hi there: Your fabric is beautiful . When I saw your blog pictures of the lines, I felt a breath of spring come over me. And spring is just around the corner here in Lethbridge AB. My favourite part about spring is seeing the blooms of crocus and daffodil bulbs starting to peak up through the ground. Thanks for the giveaway.

I follow you via Feedly. I love being able to start my veggie gardens. Peas will be planted soon. Yay!
I love that it gets warm enough that I accompany my husband on his daily walks. I’ma wimp and don’t like to walk in cold weather.
I love Spring! I love breezy days in the 70’s with plenty of sun!
My favorite part of spring is getting out the grill and cooking outdoors. And no more shoveling! (although we are expecting 5-12 inches tomorrow). Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful fabric and thanks for your inspiring blog. I’ve been following you for quite awhile on Bloglovin.
I love spring as there is more daylight and sunshine!
It’s the flowers! And the longer days.
I love watching the animals and plants awaken from their long sleep. It happens so fast that everyday is a different scenic joy to behold.
I love the return of warn weather
I love the cool spring weather. The world is breezy and cool… No 100+ degree weather. Thanks for the chance to win such a pretty bundle!
I love the warm weather and most of all the return of Humming birds. I wish I lived in Arizona and had several species but I’ll settle with just the Ruby Throated we have here in NC.
I loved that fabric and used it when sewing raincoats for the granddaughters with it on its first release. Glad to see it return.
Spring is all about flowers and spring green.
I love the warm weather of spring and summer. Definitely not a winter girl here.
Oh, and Daylight Saving Time!
Thanks to you and FQS for the giveaway.

I love spring watching all my bulbs peek out and say hello.. the trees flowering or leafing out.. everywhere I look this week is pear trees, forsythia, cherry trees and the red bud trees all showing color.. and my daffodils around the house and in the woods.. happy happy… a whole bundle?? wow.. thank you FQS…
Seeing the bluebonnets in Texas is my favorite part of spring!
Tulips and daffodils, magnolias and cherry blossoms — flowers are what make spring the most wonderful season.
Spring is a time of renewal and everything is blooming, the birds are singing and making babies )who start their hunger songs at around 3 a.m.), the grass is sprouting, my snow crocuses are waving at me, the sun is shining brighter. Yes Spring is a time of renewal.
The best part of spring is being able to garden again
I love the crisp mornings and the warm afternoons! And all the awakening of the nature. Makes me feel happy!
Beautiful fabrics!
Hugs from Switzerland

I love seeing all the birds returning and hearing them sing. Right now, they are spending a lot of time at the feeders as .there’s still snow, but I hope to see grass soon!
I want to make quilts in spring and there’s enough of an exchange between cold days and warm days that we can play outside and still enjoy being inside quilting.
Love everything by HB! Flowers and the bright spring green of the trees are my Springtime favorites!
I love being outside and getting to play with my boys!
I love being able to work in the yard getting it ready for the warmer weather.
I love finally being able to keep the front door open and going outside. Then, there’s picking up sticks and cleaning out the flower beds and then taking it all in by sitting on the deck.
My favorite thing about spring is the newness of everything. Leaves on the trees,flowers,green grass,even dandelions. This fabric really captures spring!
I love Spring for how it makes so many people instantly happier. I live in the Midwest so after the cold, harsh winters, it really makes a difference in everyone’s mood to see green grass, flowers and warmer temperatures.
Seeing the hummingbirds return is the best part for me.
This is one of my all time favorites too! I don’t think this print will ever go out of style…it’s ageless! I actually love dandelions in spring! I know…weeds! But the bright yellow is so gorgeous, especially after a long dull winter!
I love Spring for the clean crisp air, being able to open the windows and the brilliance of the greens poking up through the ground
This line is so gorgeous! My favorite part about spring is my tulip tree blooming, that luscious purple against a blue sky…love it so. I also become giddy as the daylight stays longer…I love lingering evening on the front porch.
I love Spring for many reasons: hearing the birds, flowers and tress blooming, lighter clothing, longer days… It all energizes me!! Thanks for the chance, this collection is beautiful!!
i love the smells of spring
I love the sunshine and warmth of spring. Thanks!
I like the daffodils and crocuses sprouting my my yard

I love that first day of Autumn when there is a coolness to the air and the first leaf turns red ??? And I love those crisp greens of Nicey Jane ?
Love the cool, crisp weather, tulip fields, sunny skies, and the sound of the birds chirping.
My favorite part of spring is the longer days – getting up in the light is so much easier!

just being able to sit outside in the warm weather, follow on bloglovin
The Spring flowers ??? and warmer weather! Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous bundle.
I’m so excited for some of this year’s reprints. I was told they almost never happen, and it’s so sad to go through everyone’s archives and see what I’ve missed, even if they’re coming up with more beautiful designs for next season.
I love those first few nights in spring when you can sit outside with a couple of friends and a glass of wine. These northern winters kill me! I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to freezing temperatures and three to six feet of snow on the ground.
I love the warm air and the blue sky that comes with
spring. Thanks to the Fat Quarter shop for such a yummy bundle!
Spring is the beginning of new growth my favorite season! I love Nicey Jane and would love to win a bundle.
Spring flowers and cleaning up the yard! I love getting the flower beds ready for the season.
Love being able to open the windows of the house. Sitting outside and watching the grandkids play. Love Spring!!!!
Well, the snow being gone & my yard being dry would make me happy! But one of the best things is being able to go out for a ride with my hubby on his motorcycle. Fun! annesimonot@sasktel.net
My favorite part of spring is the smell of citrus trees in bloom–it’s amazing!

When Spring finally comes to Maine it is always a big deal…I just love the way it smells and feels as the air shifts from winter to spring!
Mmm. Heather Bailey. Love her stuff.
The best part about spring is that I can let the kids play outside. We also love taking our lunch out on the front lawn and having “picnics.”
Spring reminds me that new beginnings are possible.
I love the spring flowers.
I love the greening of the trees and the blooming flowers.
I love Spring because I can hang linens on the line to dry again. Fresh air smell at bedtime…love it❤️
I love the Nicey Jane line. I bought the large off white floral print in yardage the first time it came around. 🙂 The thing I like the best about Spring is the return of the birds to our area. Robins, bluebirds, ducks, geese, meadowlarks (they are my favourite) and even crows. They bring with them activity and liveliness. Something that disappears during the snowy winter. Thanks for hosting such a lovely giveaway!
This line Nicey Jane is awesome – love the colours. My favourite thing about SPring is the flowers – I love daffodils – they are so bright a cheery.
Pauline
I love more daylight. Thanks for the chance.

my favorite part of spring is that everyone is happier, nicer weather means happy people, they great more, etc
Spring…Opening the windows for fresh Spring air, longer days and watching as Mother Nature brings the flower garden back to life!
The best part about spring, I can put all my fabric and laundry on the line, everything smells so fresh, love the birds and flowers, gardening, sewing quilts lol.
Spring is the best — coming out of winter and looking forward to the sunshine and beautiful flowers.
My favorite part of spring is happening right now where I live! Pansies and tulips! They are in full bloom and I love it! Thanks for the chance to win, this would be the perfect prize for me. I need to make a baby girl quilt!
Wat ontzettend leuke stoffen, echt voorjaar
My favorite thing about autumn is the colourful leaves, and the weather chilling enough to have a fire going and to wear scarves 🙂
What I love about Spring is the aroma of flowers in the air which reminds me that it’s Springtime! These beautiful NiceyJane fabrics also look like spring and would be such fun to use this season in a lovely new quilt product.
I definitely love the more effective use of daylight. I love Nicey Jane, I’ve been collecting the old line and just cannot find some of the prints. Luckily they’re in the reprint. Thanks for a great giveaway!
My favorite thing about spring is what we call “green up” here in Alaska. It seems like everything turns green so fast!

My favorite part of spring is watching for migrating birds visiting my yard.

Autumn means good by to a very hot and dry Summer. The birds singing and Autumn colours are my favourite.

Besides the debt of flowers perfuming the air, my favorite thing about spring is that people turn off their heaters
Or the “scent” of flowers

Definitely the flowers and trees in bloom.
Spring is a time to get your hands in the earth, enjoy the equinox and refresh your spirit.
Warm sun in the daytime feels so good, not too hot yet. Thank you.
I live in a cold part, north, in WA state. So the chance to get out in the sun and work in the yard is a real treat. Ah, to see the first buttercups blooming. Beautiful fabric, thanks for the chance.
Although Fall is my favorite season, I love Spring because it is a new beginning after winter…fresh blooms, sunny days, and fresh attitudes! Thanks for the giveaway…I’m a big fan of Fat Quarter Shop and follow your blog on Bloglovin!
