Take a guess

Lu Summers' new line for Moda, Summersville, will be in our shops in the spring.  I am on my third project using it so far and have not even come close yet to tiring of it.  I don't know if I ever will.  Question is, which is your favourite print and which do you think the quilt shops ordered most of?

i love the alphabet! i bet that is the one that is most popular!

Courtney said...

I love the houses, but I bet I would actually use that cross hatch one the most, so that is my guess!

Krista said...

This is one of my favorite upcoming lines. I can't wait to get my hands one some, although I'm quite positive my LQSs won't be ordering it. Hopefully I'll have lots of online options!

I'm also guessing the alphabet will be the most popular.

Lizzie Allen said...

I would use the cross hatch one more than the others. The alphabet one would be great for a child's quilt.

DianeY said...

I love the one you show on top, but I'll have to agree on the cross hatch as well. I would use a lot of that one

Rachel said...

I love both building print...and I would guess the alphabet?

Sheila said...

Love love love B & W, the big buildings, the little buildings and the alphabet, but I think I'd have to access online too.

Diane N said...

I like the cross hatch the best....and that would be my guess!

Laurie said...

I'm not too fond of the one in the middle between the little buildings and the alphabet, but I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite among the rest.

Jamie Lee said...

Cross hatch?

Isisjem said...

Not sure which I like the best. I'd have to see big swatches of them all. I do get a bit frustrated that if there are 20 prints (including different colour ways) then the UK shops that stock a line will pick the same flaming 6 prints.

Richard Healey said...

I love those cars and the little houses. Neat Prints.

Ohhh these are great, I would guess the cross-hatch print would be the most popular. So versatile!

♥Duff said...

i like the alphabet best and can hardly wait to get some! The crosshatch is yummy, but we've already got a ton of those from Alexander Henry (farmdale, in the kitchen, pirate, fashions for home)fabric lines. the one I like the least is the trees & houses, but I think that that will be the one chosen by quilt shops.

Monica said...

The little houses?

Marilee said...

I love the three on the right. I bet the stores ordered the Heath copycat, since everyone is doing it. In this run it is perfect. Every store should at least carry the alphabet.

Ella said...

My favorite is the alphabet, b ut I'm going to guess the crosshatch.

Sarah said...

My fave would be the houses and trees print, and I reckon the shops have ordered most of the one second from right :-)

nicolette at dutchcomfort said...

Love the alphabet, but the fabric that will probably sell the best is the first to the left.

Nancy said...

I love the houses, but would buy the alphabet...fabric with letters is so hard to find...

Sarah@PingsAndNeedles said...

My very favourite is the paint brush splodge marks 3rd in ... I think it looks wonderful in all the colorways ... oh my g'ness, I just typed colour with no 'u' in it ... *sigh

I bet they ordered the crosshatch but that's because it's a bloomin lovely crosshatch. I think your prediction is right and this line is going to fly ...

... tell your quilt store, people!

Donna said...

My favorite is the houses among the trees. I'm thinking quilt shops would order more of the crosshatch because it is a wonderful background/filler for many, many projects. The crosshatch will definitely showcase the houses among the trees!

Gene Black said...

My favorite is the cars and buses. But I would bet the quilt shops ordered more of the alphabet one.

Ethne said...

Aw come on that's practically impossible they are all pretty awesome

BLONDEDESIGN said...

Can't wait, I have used her screen print fabrics in the past, but they worked out a tad more expensive, so look forward to these. Kxx

Shayla Sharp said...

Well, I like the one on the left and the second from the right, but the quilt shops probably ordered the ones with the buildings the most, lol.

Lynda said...

both of the building prints (city and suburbia) are fun prints, but the cross hatch would be so much fun to use in so many ways - can't you see binding with that!

lu summers said...

ohhhh, what a fun post lynne!

i know the answer to this (being the designer an' all, haha, and the most popular is 'town' in the black (the one with the different building & cars)

can i just mention that i'm not sure how long 'heath' has been around, but i've been selling my screen printed fabrics for 4 years on etsy and 'weave' (the crosshatch) was my second design. so it isn't actually a copycat! i'd hate someone to think i'd copied anything from anywhere :)

and to all you UKers (and for that matter, anyone else!) don't worry if your LQS only has a few prints as i will be selling yardage of the whole caboodle in my etsy shop, yay!

Flying Blind... said...

I love the abstract one best, and I love them all. I suspect the good shops have gone for them all, however my local shop will have none, as Lu has forgotten the essential gold lamay thread and 60% polyester content!

Jessica said...

I love the alphabet! My guess is the cross-hatchy print.

piece peace said...

I am going with the cross hatch print. I collect black and white prints so I am sure I will be grabbing some FQs of this line.

diane said...

I would say the crosshatch is the most popular but I like the alpha

Spontaneous Threads said...

The letters, the letters…. will you tell us???

Annabella said...

Far right (the houses) is my favourite but I`m guessing alphabet was the most stocked.

Poppyprint said...

Houses and letters. Hands down.

Mimi said...

I love black and white prints so I love all of these!! My guess is that the houses is most popular.

Tricia said...

I like the houses and trees. I'm guessing the crosshatch is the best seller.

Arita said...

The letters....hands down.

rolleiflex said...

Just popping in to say hello!

Suzanne said...

I vote alphabet personally but I bet the crosshatch is more versatile. It's just fun fabric in black and white no matter which design it is.

Paige said...

It's hard to guess but I"m going with the cross-hatch. I can't wait to grab some of the alphabet!

Elsa said...

I'd say the town with all the buildings, cars and buses! Tho, I'd be happy to see them all!

Lotti said...

I cant wait to get my hands on some, my LQS will not have any though as they do not cater to the trendys but have plenty of dull florals instead! I have some of Lu's hand screen printed fabric and they are gorgeous too.

Kathy H said...

I love the cars and busses.

Eva said...

mmmh, I guess your favourite is the one with cars and that shops ordered most of ... the houses and trees (?) This is hard, they're all so lovely!

Archie the wonder dog said...

I'm afraid I can't pick a favourite as I love them all and I'm going to go with the letters as the one most ordered...when do we get to find out the answer?!

Noas' Libellule said...

the one on the right hand side of your pictures (streets and cars) - at least that is my favourite...

Kate said...

Hmmm...hard call. The LQS might order a lot of the crosshatch -- it might be the most versatile...but alphabets are also very popular. My fave is the one with small houses and trees. (swoon)

mjb said...

Why is no one saying brush strokes? I am going to have to buy all of the brush strokes.

kitty said...

Love the designs! The most popular, I think, will be Avenue.

Tracey said...

I love the black and white colour way ... makes me want to get out my fabric pens and fill some spot colour!

I like the cars and the houses best.

Lettyb said...

The one with the little houses and trees? They are fun!

Dianne said...

I like the letters and the little trees and houses. I suspect stores will order mostly the trees and houses.
