Designer Select: Bonnie & Camille + Giveaway

Are you ready for some deliciousness? Scrumptious by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics has arrived, and we know you won’t be able to resist a bite! Bonnie & Camille are here today to tell you about Scrumptious and serve up some eye candy. And lucky for you, we are giving away a Bonnie & Camille Designer Select Bundle! Yum, indeed!

Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for Scrumptious?
A:This was such a delightful collection to put together! We based the color scheme around a new color for us, the minty green. Once we had that, and the coral, everything else just came together perfectly. So I guess the line was inspired by the colors!

 

Q:What inspired you to pick the colors and designs in your Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle?
A: We really wanted to make sure that with just a few of our favorite pieces you could get a feel for the whole line. The red stripe is Camille’s favorite, and Bonnie’s favorite orange paisley is also included. And we couldn’t leave out the aqua floral! Overall, we think it is a pretty delicious mix.

 

Q: Tell us about your background. How did you get into the fabric and quilting industry?
A:Camille: My mom taught me to sew when I was a little girl, but didn’t make my first quilt start to finish until I was a teenager. When my first son Aiden was a baby I started sewing more for him, and after a few projects, I was hooked! I grew up helping my mom with her pattern company, Cotton Way, and started my own, Thimble Blossoms, in 2007. 

Bonnie: I started sewing when I was six, making Barbie clothes from my mom’s scraps. I started my pattern company, Cotton Way, in 1990. I can’t believe it’s been 23 years! We started designing fabric for Moda in 2008 and have absolutely loved it. Best job ever!

Q: How do you collaborate on your collections?
A:This is our favorite part of being fabric designers. To get the collection started, and throughout the process we Skype (a lot!) and when we are close to finishing up, Bonnie usually flies out to Camille’s house, because it is so much warmer and she gets to see her grandkids (but really because it’s much warmer 😉 and we’ll work on a line together, between a few necessary lunches out, of course. Dropping it off at UPS is always very ceremonial!

Q:What are some blocks or obstacles you encounter in your creativity, and how do you get past them?
A:Believe it or not, we don’t always agree. Crazy right? Sometimes it’s a matter of, you win this one, I win the next one, and that tends to work out pretty well for us. Camille was dying to name the last line happy-go-lucky and Bonnie was pulling for Scrumptious. So it worked out great!

Q:What do you plan to make using Scrumptious?
A:We each designed four new patterns from the line for Spring Market, and you can see Bonnie’s here and here and Camille’s here. This line was a dream to sew with! Once we started sewing, we had a hard time stopping. We hope you enjoy creating with it as much we have.

2 Truths and a Lie
A:1. We’ve recently become enamored with Jersey Boys.
2. We love winter and can’t get enough of the snow.

  2. Will have to select #2 as false, based on the fact that Bonnie flies to Camille's house where it's warmer. Love the fabric! Jan

  19. #2 is definitely a lie because I come from an area in Canada where we have winter for about 8 months and enough is enough already!! Thanks for the chance… I love this fabric!!

  28. #2 is false. I just love the new minty aqua. The stripes, berry print and and dots are my favorite. I think I'll make a quilt from this line for my new granddaughter we will meet in February.

  35. #2–their colors are so gorgeously spring that they have to be dreaming of spring and summer all winter long!

    I love the new line–I think it would be perfect to go with the Ruby line, which I used for my little Ruby's nursery last year. Now that she needs a big girl bed quilt, I think I know just the new fabric to add to my Ruby scraps!

  41. I know that there are not 10 fabric lines yet, but #3 states that you just turned in your 10th line, so I'm thinking that could be true.

    So I'm going with #2 being a lie as I am a former Idaho girl whose parents moved us to Arizona just because of winter.

    I think that Scrumptious is well scrumptious!

  44. If I were flying somewhere warmer I would NOT be loving the snow. So I'm going with #2 as the lie. 🙂

    LOVE this line! It is gorgeous. 🙂

  64. I'm not sure, but the clue was going where it is warmer. Number 2 is my guess. Thank you kindly for the give away!

  68. #2- While Winter can be beautiful, it is certainly COLD! that is why I live in Arizona:) I hope I win!

  70. I'm pretty sure the false statement is 2. We love winter and can't get enough of the snow.

    Love their fabric! Always fresh and fun!

  71. I think #2 is false. These fabrics are truly scrumptious! I would like to have them to make cosmetic bags for my three daughters and two granddaughters. My oldest daughter LOVES this fabric line.

  78. I think #2 is false….I have loved every single one of their lines of fabric and this one is no different!!

  103. Since Bonnie travels to Camille's place when they are working on a fabric line because it is warmer, I'd say #2 is false.

  104. You've got to be kidding about #2! I live through winters here in Wisconsin and I know that no one is goofy enough to feel that way!

  169. I think number 2 is false! I love the new colors, and it makes me want to start on a Spring quilt just looking at them!

  194. I will guess that #2 is the lie. I love this line. I've got a charm pack waiting for me to create something wonderful…. Thanks for the chance to win.

  217. I hope, #3 is false.
    Scrumptious is the 8th line, I think.
    And this line is great!

    If I am right, then you should like winter. Really?

  218. I'm going with number 2 too. I'm totally in love with Scrumptious it's my favourite Bonnie and Camille line so far, although I say that about each new line they release lol. Louise xx.

  228. I think #2 is a lie. Although snow is nice for a while, I can get sick of it after several months of the stuff!

  245. I think #2 is false – these colors are too bright and happy for winter loving folk! Hope I win so I can make something beautiful with these!!!

  253. 2 must be false although I cannot imagine that you can't get enough snow! What better weather for sewing, quilting, & snuggling in the final product!

  257. I think it's #2, I know cold winters (I live in Canada)…hope I'm right! Love all the fabric lines, and Scrumptious is no exception. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  271. I think Comment #2 is false! Camille lives in NV, and there is no snow! I know Bonnie lives in ID but I think snow is a no! 😛

  291. I'm going to say Number 2 is the lie…I hope I'm right! I love their fabrics and this line is no dissapointment!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  312. I would guess number 2 is false I think winter is long enough without wishing for it to last longer, I love the minty green and coral fabrics this collection is beautiful

  313. I'm going to guess that No. 2 is false–you do NOT like winter and snow! Your new fabric line is perfectly named; it IS scrumptious! Thanks!

  317. Some of my favorite designers!!!!!I really think number 2 is false. Hoping, fingers crossed! Love this collection.

  323. Oh, how I love EVERYTHING you two do! My guess is that #2 is a lie. Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful collection.

  328. #2 for sure! These colors and others they've designed are too pretty to be thought up in the drabs of winter! I can't wait to win this! I'll be sitting by my mailbox 😉

  329. I think #2 is false since Grandma likes to go to her daughter's and grandkids' house because it's warmer weather there. I love this line, all the colors are favorites of mine. I'd love to make a colorful and happy quilt out of this!

  338. I'm not sure who the Jersey Boys are…so not sure there.

    I dislike the cold, but love quiltmaking in the winter, especially with the snow falling.

    I've been able to track Scrumptious as #8 (with Moda anyway), but that can't discount that these wonderful ladies aren't a couple of fabric lines ahead when they say "turned in".

    I'll go with #1 as the lie.

  347. I'm guessing #2 is false. Love all of Bonnie and Camille's fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win. And thanks, Jolly Jabber, for all your terrific interviews and inspiration.

  351. Well, based on your comments about going where it's warmer, I would say #2 is false. I love this collection. I'm already making a tote bag out of the charm pack.

  355. #2 is what I'm guessing. Just found out the fabric lines from these 2 fabulous designers. Love the colors. Thanks for the chance.

  370. I believe #2 is the lie–because you mentioned liking the warmth as a slightly bigger motivation even than the grandkids!

    I just love all your lines, but this one really speaks to me!

  377. #2 is definitely false. I love this warm bright and cheery line of fabric! I have been waiting for what seems like forever to buy the yardage so I can start my quilt!

  382. Love Scrumptious which is your #8 line which means your 3rd statement is false! However, I think #2 is a trick statement and that you probably bend that one a bit! Either way this was a fun guess…Joni

  385. I think it is number 2 as who could love snow that much!! Thanks for a great giveaway.

  394. My guess would be #2. I know some people love winter and snow, but I am not one of them. I love this line of fabric. The aqua and red together just inspires me.

  402. Thank you very much for a chance to win. I believe the false statement is a love for winter and snow. Living in Houston I think snow looks best on a television! I love your patterns and fabrics!

  409. I believe number #2 (can't get enough snow) is false.

    Love your fabric lines!!

    Thank you,
    Stephanie S.

  412. love, love, love the fabric. It looks so much fun to work with. My granddaughter would love a skirt made with the fabric. I think #2 is incorrect. Even though snow gives you a good excuse to stay in and quilt. The continuing snow fall and so much cold gets old very quick.

  427. # 2 is the false ….love the colors and the patterns ! Thanks for another great collection…would love to make something for a little girl from it ( or maybe a big girl ( me ) !!

  428. I think #2 is false since they talk about how much they love warm weather. Plus if they started their line in 2008, this could be their 10th line and who doesn't like Jersey Boys!

  429. # 2 is the false ….love the colors and the patterns ! Thanks for another great collection…would love to make something for a little girl from it ( or maybe a big girl ( me ) !!

  431. I'm going with #2.

    I love, love, love all the fabrics from Bonnie & Camille!! I used their color pallet and fabrics as my inspiration when I recently remodeled by sewing area!!

  439. Truth is Scrumptious really IS Scrumptious. Lie is #2, because Bonnie likes to fly out to Camille's because it's WARMER. (and to visit the Grandkids, of course)

  463. I think number 2 is false considering it is mentioned in the article that Bonnie and Camille enjoy getting together at Camille's house because it is warmer.

  465. I think #2 is false as I think they both love warm weather. Another beautiful line of fabric that I can't wait to play with.

  468. I absolutely love everything that Bonnie and Camille design….my sewing room is proof! I think that #2 is false. Love the patterns pictured also.

  471. Okay April Showers comes out in Spring that' #10 so you just TURNED IN #11~ fingers crossed. Thanks for the chance at such a Scrumptious treat!!

  472. I think number 2 is false. I live in Canada and let me tell you there are some winters that I have had enough of it!! LOL
    Love the new line of fabric, that name fits it to a tee.
    Thanks for the fabulous giveaway…

  485. Hi Bonnie and Camille,

    WOW to your "Scrumptious" line. The lie is Jersey Boys – handsome and singing beautifully, but you don't have time for another love triangle while quilting!
    Bev

  500. #2 is false. Bonnie and Camille don't love winter and the snow since they like warmer weather. Love, love, love your fabrics!!!

  502. I can't believe that anyone can't get enough snow, so I would have to say I don't believe #2……I love your line of fabric…keep up the great work, as I love working with your fabric!

  507. #2 is the lie! Love, love, love the new Scrumptious line. Can't wait to work with it.

    Ming (mdai97 at yahoo dot com)

  518. I love this line, and want to make something beautiful with it! I would guess that numbers 1 & 3!

  521. I feel certain that #2 is false, I moved to South GA from PA to get away from snow. I love the new scrumptious fabrics and would be so excited to win the designer select fat quarter bundle.

  524. I think the false fact is #2 " We love winter and can't get enough of the snow." Bonnie likes to visit Camille where it's warmer. Thanks for the giveaway that I hope adorns my fabric shelf soon!

  527. I'm going with #2 – Bonnie goes to Camille's house where it's warmer. I believe they turned in their 10th line (and very excited to see it!) and I'm a little surprised at the Jersey Boys 😉

  535. Number 2. I live in Minnesota and I think Idaho gets the snow first and the driving there around the mountains must be horrendous!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the fabrics, so cheerful and bright, I gravitate to the warmth of them to not think of snow on the ground!

  536. I'm going to guess '2. We love winter and can't get enough of the snow.' because Bonnie flies to Camille's house for the warm weather! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  550. #2 is the lie. Thank you for the opportunity to win such a fantastic line of fabric…. love it.

  553. Number 2 is a lie! Camille's site shows 8 lines, so I think they may have just turned in their tenth amazing line!Love Scrumptious and would love to win!

  558. It's got to be #2! Why else would Bonnie say she likes to go visite Camille where it's warmer?? Fingers crossed!!!

  569. I'm picking number 2 as the lie. Love this line and am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I'm the winner!

  572. Too funny! #2 is false. You girls make a great team. Keep up the good work! I would be the luckiest girl if I won this bundle. Thanks

  577. Hi! I vote that number three is false. I think that Scrumptious is your 8th fabric line. And I absolutely love it! Congratulations on another success!

  582. Love, love, love Scruptious! Ahhh. Well I had to Google Jersey Boys, it's Broadway, you could love it. The trick words might be "turned in" on #3 so in my little mind I'm thinking #2 is a lie. Looking forward to seeing he answer.

    Thank you, Bonnie and Camille for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

  584. I think #2 is false, based on Bonnie's comment about going to visit Camille because its warmer there! I love Scrumptious and just about everything by Bonnie & Camille!

  592. I think number 3 is false. I can count only 8 fabric lines. You probably love snow since you are from Idaho. So I believe number 3 is false. Final answer.

  599. I think number 2 is false, who would fly to warmer weather, if they love snow and coldness that much?
    Love this collection!

  605. I think #2 is false. I love the Happy Go Lucky line and made a quilt for my cousin battling breast cancer.I just know it will cheer her up. Love the Scrumptious!

  606. 2 is false –

    I don't think you love winter because you said, "Bonnie usually flies out to Camille's house, because it is so much warmer and she gets to see her grandkids (but really because it's much warmer…"

  615. I'm pretty sure they don't love the snow….I live in Idaho Falls, ID, close to Bonnie's home!! LOVE the new collection!

  629. Definitely #2is the lie since you mentioned going where it's warm twice! I love the bright freshness of the line – my daughter (15) saw it in the shop the other day and decided it matches perfectly with her room. Guess I know my next project!

  632. I had to re-read the post a few times and changed my mind twice this morning, but I am going with #3. Love the line and inspired by the mother daughter design team. Thanks for the opportunity to win:)

  633. #2 is the lie…I love the Jersey Boys, so that can't be a lie. And I can't get enough of their fabrics!

  636. I love this fabric it is so crisp! I think that statement #1 is false.

  639. #2 has to be the "lie" ~ don't believe they love the cold wintertime, but warmer days. ☺

    Thanks a bunch for the chance to win the SCRUMPTIOUS giveaway! ☺

    my nana maree @ yahoo . com

  663. My guess is #2. The only thing good about cold weather in Texas is you can stay in and sew. I will take my shorts and flip flops any day. I love your new line Scrumptious.

  671. No. 2 is false. Love this collection!!! Feels so happy. I made the Baby Love pattern from 30's fabrics but would like to make it again with the Scrumptious polka dots.

  672. I am going to go with #3 as the lie. I know you are from Idaho and think that you do love winter at the cabin with skiing and snow
    sports. We are expecting twins in our family and I think one of them is probably a girl. Scrumptious would be perfect.

  678. I believe 2 is def false.. Everyone knows cold weather is for snuggling under a quilt with your great fabric line. Love the paisley btw.

  683. It looks like the overwhelming choice is for #2 being false … but I cannot believe it! My theory is that everyone deep down LOVES snow for exactly 3 hours a year … those three hours when the crazy rush is over, the gifts are under the tree and the lady of the house can finally heat a cup of cider, grab a few cookies and a warm Scrumptious quilt and sit in front of the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree and just breathe. If snow is falling softly outside the window and all her 'chicks' are safely home sweet home, snow is just icing on the cake! As long as it melts by January 2nd!

  713. I'm thinking that the statement that they love snow is incorrect, based on the comment that Bonnie flies to Camille's where it's warmer. I'd love to win this bundle, as I really do love their designs. Thanks for the chance!

  722. My guess is number 2. I love this beautiful fabric line!! Thanks for the beautiful fabric you provide us. It is inspiring!

  744. #2 is false. Loving all the quilts and fabric lines. Please keep these bright and cheerful colors in the future lines. Wish I could afford to buy them all. Especially the Marmalade fabrics. Both of your sewing rooms make this old girl drool. lol
