Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for this collection?
A:I have always been fond of Pink and Navy quilts. To me they just say this is a quilt. I especially love pink and navy basket quilts and little hexagons made in these colors. I added the brown as an accent for the line.
Q: What movie does your collection fit best in?
A:I would have to say “Gone With The Wind”, which is my all time favorite era.
Q:Tell me about your sewing machine(s). What kinds do you have and how many?
A:I have two Berninas, two Elnas and several Singer Featherweights. I still like to hand sew and hand quilt as much as I can. It is so relaxing to me.
Q:What is your favorite part of the fabric industry?
A:I would have to say creating a new fabric line that I personally want to sew from. Especially designing with the colors that I like to use in my quilts.
Q:What is your favorite print in the collection?
A:Pattern O257, the Strawberry Leaf Stripe. It is so dainty and sweet!
Q:What is the most challenging part of the design process?
A:Getting it really coordinated so all of the prints have a place in the quilt it will be going into. Also using very unique looking prints, so they stand out and say “buy me”.
Q:What are your favorite and least favorite colors and why?
A:I like blues, browns, golds, reds and sage greens . I do not like oranges, fuchsia, or bright greens. They just do not fit in my color palette or in any quilt I would make.

Another beautiful collection!
I am going to have to get this line. I love it.
Wow, I love this line. There's a nice quilt.along coming.and this would be wonderful. Thank you for this post today.
Oh my. That pink is just gorgeous!!
Even though we have slightly differing tastes (I adore orange and fuchsia, and my husband's favorite color is lime), I love love love every single one of Judie Rothermel's lines. (I'm super keen on the Strawberries, Blueberries and Chocolate right now; even though I'm broke, I am saving up for it!).
If I died, and could come back as a fabric line, it'd be as a Judie Rothermel line. She can do no wrong!
Oh my, I love this line, strawberries,blueberries,& chocolate. I will be getting some of each of prints. Just what I really love. Great job Judie.
OH my goodness…I LOVE this collection!
This is going to be on my shopping list for sure!
I love all of Judie's fabrics and this collection is no exception. A truly talented lady, indeed!
What a beautiful and calming set of fabrics, very romantic looking in my opinion.
Thanks to Fat Quarter Shop for this fun feature! We want to remind everyone that these prints would blend beautifully with Judie's 25th Anniversary Collection as a quilt entry for the JUST JUDIE quilt competition…
