BLACK&WHITE Blog Hop + Giveaway

1/23/2015

JOIN US~
As we unfold a very special line-up of 16 bloggers who will show their own interpretations of BLACK&WHITE COLLECTION . Daily, they will share how they were inspired and by which of my 24 prints. I am excited to see all the finished projects every day until February 6th. In keeping with blog hop tradition, there is fabric to win every day at every blog stop. On the last day, I will be giving away a FQ Tower of BLACK&WHITE Also check out Instagram for more prizes, as we've been hash tagging great stuff #blackandwhitefabrics #jennifersampou. It's just plain fun!

BLACK&WHITE is a timeless theme whether used on its own or paired with color like in my Elephant and I quilt. It never goes out of style. It has inspired souls since the beginning of human expression. Who knows, maybe first realized at the magical hour just before dawn. Perhaps the fall of dusk when a tree canopy, birds migrating above or mountain range revealed a striking silhouette of black design against a brightened sky— void of intense hue yet full of contrast.

The Elephant and I quilt/pillow pattern is paper pieced, gender neutral (boy pattern insert) using mostly my low volume prints from the collection and the new 2014 Kona Colors Ten Square. The image was inspired by my visit to the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand with my sister where we met the petite and courageous Lek Chailert who devotes her life to the rescue and rehabilitation of elephants.
••••••••••••••••Travel always changes my life for the deeper. It opens my eyes, fills my mind and heart••••••••••••••••••••••••••

One day I will go back and devote more time as a volunteer in Lek's park. For now, I am donating part of the proceeds of the sale of my pattern to Elephant Nature Park. I will also gift her one of my quilts, hopefully in person. I have a limited number of precuts and patterns for sale in my store (free shipping code: BlogHop) if you want to make your own. Yardgage can be found at your favorite store or The Cotton Patch has all 24 bolts plus Studio Stash yarn dyes.

Below is the talent list and we open with some fabulous quilt projects by Better off Thread, Sew Kind of Wonderful (I love their ingenious approach to using one ruler for so many quilt options) and Teresa Coates who is working up some magic for Fabric Depot. Follow along for 16 days and see what everyone is doing. Share with your friends too. We're having a party and we want you here!

To win the grand prize, sign up on my mailing list (if you haven't already) AND leave a comment on my page here by February 8th about which projects inspire you and what you would make if you won fabric. I will be updating this post as it moves through the hop and highlighting the projects. Drawing February 9th.

Black and white rules the world :) I think I would make some colorful hexies and combine them on the B/W fabric :)

Sarah Scott

1/23/2015 05:25:05 am

Wow! I just finished a black and white quilt (with white and black houses and brightly colored doors). Love the elephant quilt! Black and white always makes an excellent background for brightly colored pieces. I'd do it again of course!

Dana

The elephant quilt is simply amazing! Love to make something like that.

Love black/white quilts, have made several with a "touch" of red in them - am working on another one this week - never can make enough of them, even as a baby gift.

Cindy link

1/23/2015 05:37:36 am

Oh I so want to make a black and white quilt. I think HST's to make spinning stars would make a wonderful quilt. I love the elephant.

Janet T

1/23/2015 05:39:24 am

I went to Road2CA yesterday and saw a couple B&W quilts I wanted to make. Also, a quilt I love is Cleopatra's Fan, which is free on the Kaufman site. I could use the FQ prize and add a few colors and wa-la!!

I adore the elephant quilt! I have not made a quilt is a long time...I am inspired to make one soon.

Janie

1/23/2015 05:56:27 am

The quilt I would make is the Storm at Sea. It is simply stunning. Love the elephant quilt, and your story. I hope you do give the quilt to Ms. Chailert. Your fabric is lovely.

Michele Timms

1/23/2015 06:04:51 am

I love this quilt!!! I would make my daughter something similar because she adores elephants (it would match the elephant stuffier I made for her birthday last week!)

Jeannine

1/23/2015 06:18:15 am

Black and white with a pop of color makes a great statement. I think a Weekender bag would look great in this fabric.

Sandra Sparks

1/23/2015 06:25:24 am

I've used your fabric collections since before your hiatus. I like to design my own quilt patterns, and I create fabric art as well. Your fabric lines have always been inspirational, and the new BLACK&WHITE collection is no exception.

Carol Broughton

1/23/2015 06:30:45 am

I am inspired by fresh, modern designs. I would be thrilled to make your elephant pattern!!

Linda E in AZ

1/23/2015 06:53:02 am

Love the black and whites! And that baby elephant is wonderful. The zoo here in Tucson had a baby elephant born last summer, and she's still drawing crowds.
thanks!

ZanyMouse

1/23/2015 07:25:38 am

I absolutely adore black and white quilts, but like to add a pop of color for interest. Currently, I'm very inspired by modern quilts. Also was inspired by all the fantastic quilts I saw at Road to California yesterday. Going again tomorrow, yay!

Ann Pugh

1/23/2015 07:34:47 am

As soon as my two Quilt show entries are finished, my to do list is to work with neutrals for a while, mostly black to white with a bit of color accent. Must have include some prints out of the continuum collection to go with the black to white., fabrics you can never have too many of!

Sandy

What I love about your collection is all the tones of black, white, gray that round it out. Will be fun to see what others have made with it.
Thanks for the giveaway.

lisa m link

1/23/2015 09:00:31 am

I haven't ever used black on a quilt project, definitely i can see these as totes and purses though. I also like quilts which are not cutesy, so i can also see adding some bright colors for a quilt which will grow with the child.

Kim McNeill

1/23/2015 09:18:49 am

I just love the Elephant and I quilt. Love the movement of colors on it. of course, i've always loved elies.

Sarah J.

Just joined your mailing list! I just adore the Elephant quilt-- it's beautiful, but the story behind it makes it even more so. I would love to try my hand at a black and white quilt with some pops of color!

Cindy Dahlgren

1/23/2015 10:53:38 am

I am absolutely loving your elephant and boy pattern. It really suits my style perfectly. I'm sure I will find other quilts on the blog hop that I love too, but this one is the best! cdahlgren at live dot com

Nancy Sumner

1/23/2015 10:56:49 am

OMG...I have just returned from a trip to Thailand myself. We went to the Tiger Temple just outside of Bangkok...and to the flower market...I saw your photos of those and was thrilled. I am hoping to make a sort of film reel of our trip...the black and whites would be perfect! Thanks for the chance...love your photos btw.

Love the elephant quilt. I need to make a wedding quilt and the bride loves black and white. This fabric bundle would be perfect. Love the splash of color you added.

Whiskers

1/23/2015 01:09:23 pm

Your elephant made me smile before I even read the post. Love the butterflies too. I have to check out the other sources of inspiration.

Billie Shannon

I love the elephant pattern. I have a son who is an elephant keeper at a zoo. He would be very impressed that you are donated to the elephant sanctuary.

Rosemary

1/23/2015 02:25:36 pm

I love the crisp contrast of black and white. I'm looking for the "right" black and white print for the border on a quilt I'm making

Chris

Beautiful quilt, and I love reading about the elephants! How inspiring!

Frances Quigley

I love to use black n white in quilts. I especially like binding with it on bias.

1/23/2015 03:54:07 pm

The elephant quilt is awesome! And it is so generous of you to support the Elephant Nature Park. I get inspired by travel too. I would love to make a black and white quilt with pops of color, and I would love to make a jacket with this too. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

This is such an inspiring quilt. Makes me really think about my life and my special interests, and how I can incorporate both into a quilt of my very own making. Thanks so much for sharing. I am subscribed to your newsy letter.

Joyce Carter

1/24/2015 12:32:09 am

I am inspired by antique quilts. I love the old patterns and fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway. I made both of my grandsons a black and white quilt with a touch of red. It was a sampler quilt with courthouse steps in between. They were so beautiful when I finished.

1/24/2015 12:33:30 am

Oh my! These fabrics just slipped right into a big blank space in the new quilt that's been in my head. Just beautiful!

Debra

1/24/2015 12:38:11 am

So beautiful. I would love to win this bundle to make a quilt for my son. Black and white are his go to colors for his own art.

Quilting Tangent

1/24/2015 12:39:02 am

Inspiration comes from seeing what everybody makes. I would use the fabric in a scrappy quilt to quiet down or balance out some of the bold colors.

Becky Schultz

1/24/2015 12:45:37 am

B & W is truly timeless and it goes with any other "pop" color! I just love what Jenny and Helen at Sew Something Wonderful have already shown us and can't wait to see all of the other projects!!!

Shirley

1/24/2015 12:53:15 am

My Mom loved elephants so this quilt made me smile. All her elephants had to have trunks up.
Inspiration comes from nature for me. Finding new blogs and sites like this have a big impact too. Shirley

Ginny Worden

1/24/2015 01:03:16 am

I just signed up for your newsletter, and looking forward to seeing all the quilts made with your Black & White collection. Black and white is so classic, that I think I would be inspired to try a twist on a traditional pattern, perhaps Sew Kind of Wonderful's Metro Hoops pattern.

Lynn

1/24/2015 01:08:54 am

Black and white is always so striking. I think some acid green and a modern quilt pattern would look awesome.

Lynda Hermann

1/24/2015 01:13:38 am

I have been wanting to play with making a quilt using HST's - I think one in black and white would be perfect to complete this item from my bucket list of quilts to be made!

Beth Miller link

1/24/2015 01:20:39 am

Nothing beats black and white for its versatility. Used alone or paired with any color imaginable, it's a winner! Love your designs.

1/24/2015 01:26:13 am

forgot to post what I would love to make with your fabric.
Anxious to make that bag that you show on your blog!

Rhonda Davis

I love your black-and-white line the best -- a surprise since I've loved the others, especially yarn dyes, too. I was a fan of your long-ago fabric lines, too, and still have bits of them that I'm hoarding in my stash. Black and white together are fascinating because they can provide an always-dramatic background, whether dynamic or quiet, or be the star attraction on their own.

Carolin

1/24/2015 02:25:04 am

I really like these black and white fabrics. They look so nice combined with any colour...I'd love to get that bundle...

Valarie

1/24/2015 02:58:30 am

Black and white line of fabric is beautiful. I do like some added color to make the quilt design pop! I would love to use the fat quarter stack to make a quilt using the Jaybird pattern or a sew kind of wonderful pattern Thank you for your beautiful designs.

mary link

1/24/2015 03:25:25 am

I've loved your designs for years now, Jennifer, and this line is lovely. I'm thinking it would be great with robin's egg blue--and it's been years since I've made a quilt just for me!
So many possibilities!

Audrey

1/24/2015 04:00:32 am

Elephant and I is a wonderful quilt. I just love the vibrant solids for the elephant and I. One can never go wrong with black and white. Our guild has chosen a black and white challenge starting next month. This should be a wonderful hop for inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Kathy L

1/24/2015 05:06:37 am

Absolutely love the B&W fabric line. There are so many possibilities for it but I lean towards pairing it with a rich grape colour or a teal fabric.

1/24/2015 05:16:48 am

Wow your quilt is beautiful. I love the black and white fabric and have the quilt to make with it already planned in my head. Thanks for the chance to win. I've also shared your giveaway on my Giveaway List for sewers & quilters at wowilikethat.com. Thanks again.

Black and white is so inspiring because it makes anything you make with it so versatile. I would definitely go with a quilt and several pillows to match. Thanks for the opportunity.

What a gorgeous black and white collection. You can never go wrong with a wonderfully dramatic combo like that. I'd love to win these to make a quilt for my daughter-her bedroom is black, white and grey. I get inspired reading blogs and seeing what wonderful things the talented bloggers design!

Cindy MW

I am already signed up for your newsletter. I would use the fabric to start a queen sized quilt for one of our grandchildren. I made a baby quilt for each of the 10 grandchildren, and right now I am working on quilts 9 and 10 in the twin size. I figure I had better start now on the queen size quilts or I will not be able to make one for each of them. Our oldest 2 will be 20 this spring and our youngest is 6 .

I am already a subscriber and I love these fabrics! I don't have much in the way of black or white in my stash yet since I'm fairly new, but I have been wanting to make a black and white quilt for some time. What I have been getting, seems to go out to other people and I would definitely want to keep one for me this time. Thanks so much for the awesome giveaway!

Beautiful fabric! The elements of nature , such as the butterflies and feathers, inspire me to make a quilt combined with a touch of yellow and grey. I will use the quick curve ruler by Jenny Pedigo and most probably one of their patterns.

Bari link

Black and white is so classic and your fabrics are perfect for just about any pattern one would want to make. I would use either lime green or teal blue in my quilt. Always colors that stand the test of time.

1/24/2015 09:57:25 pm

I love black and white fabrics and I love elephants so it is clear to me what I would have to make with these lovely fabrics!

1/24/2015 10:09:57 pm

I would use the b/w fabs to make a bargello quilt background and pop a brightly colored elephant on it. Can't wait to try that elephant! Too cute! Thanks!

1/24/2015 10:32:24 pm

I would pair the black and white with red, definitely

Linda G

The black and white fabrics incorporated in these quilts are just stunning - and than add the pop of color - who can resist. I am already planning my spin on using this fabric. I will be sharing this blog with all the members of our quilting guild "The Midnight Stitchers". I'm sure this will become a project we will all be inspired to use this fabric in our next individual projects. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks to all the Blog Hoppers. I won't miss a day.

That elephant is surely and inspiration! I've been wanting to make the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt in black and white, with maybe a couple of my favorite blocks in color. Thanks for the giveaway!

Beautiful back to basics collection, Jennifer! I, too, have been to Thailand and seen the elephants both at work in the construction industry and in tourist parks. It was so strange to see them working their way down the roads in the morning 'commute'. I awoke very early on my first morning and sat outside having breakfast, when through the bush beside me came the trunk of a baby elephant, gently, cautiously inquiring after my fruit. His young handler brought him by daily and I'll never forget the wiry hair on his head, his dark eyes and deeply, wrinkled skin. He was lovely! Good luck to Lek and her work with these beautiful creatures. Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause. You've inspired me to simply create again.

Sara Brock

I've made only 6 quilts, and there is not a single speck of white or black in them. But I REALLY want to get out of that rut, and figure the best way to do it is to do one that is ONLY black and white. lol all or nuthin', that is me!

Jenny

1/25/2015 08:41:15 pm

Hi Jennifer, Like many of the other commenters I too love your elephant and I quilt it is a truly wonderful and very inspiring.

This is my first time reading your newletter and it is a delight to read especially seeing your beautiful photo of Lek with the baby elephant and of the hird. It is a truly stunning photograph on its own. Then to read that you are also supporting her sanctary again I too think it is worthy cause. So I've decided to follow you via pinterest too as well as your newletter.

What I would make with the black and white fabric if chosen to win.Is a pointsettia quilt those black & white fabric would be perfect for the background. Fingers crossed. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Happy quilting Julie Beard

1/27/2015 01:49:24 am

Right now I'm in the middle of the 'Noreaster here in Massachusetts. I'm looking at a view of black, white, and gray and all the shades in between. A landscape wall hanging of my snowy river view would be perfect in these fabrics.

Jessica P.

1/27/2015 03:24:37 am

I love so many of the projects, but my favorite is the Metro Twist quilt. The pattern is awesome and I love the blue with the black and white. I am actually working on a quilt for my king size bed right now. It is black, white, grey, and blue. These fabrics would make a lovely addition!

I love the tote on the Gen X blog. It is so stylish and useful! I would use the fabric if I won it to make a new quilt for our living room. We have grey furniture and hubby just panted the walls scallion green. I think a quilt out of these fabrics would be perfect in there!

So far I really like the bag at GenX but of course I love your Elephant quilt. I could see this in a Hexie quilt with a pop of scarlet thrown in for some jazz. The fabric looks wonderful.

Rosalind Gutierrez

I am inspired by the unique "Elephant" quilt and the feather fabric. I would make an adorable quilt with the black and white quilt bundle and add a red color for accent & repeat it in the binding.

Beth Arcuri

1/31/2015 12:25:40 pm

At first, I thought I wanted to make a purse like the cute Betsy Bag, and I had thought of trying to do an ultra-modern wall hanging because I think black and white can be so dramatic. Then I saw your quilt. I have a great love for elephants and I know they need our help. So now, I would like to make your pattern, using the pillow size to make a wall hanging that would be ultra important in reminding me and whoever sees it to help our elephants. I would put the female on it to represent Lek Chailert.

Definitely a quilt for my project, and this is timely as I had just decided that I wanted to make a black & white quilt last week [after picking up the Silent Movie bundle from FortWorthFabricStudio]. I saw the Storm At Sea pattern first, and love it, but it's a tad more complicated than I think I want to go for [eye catching though it is]. On The Plus Side would be great for a lap quilt here... but I'm still having a time letting go of that elephant and boy in color... So definitely a quilt in B/W but what pattern is still up in the air.

My favourite colours are black and white! :-). Each of the featured projects are beautiful but I have to admit, Storm at Sea and the elephant quilt are my personal favourites for 2 reasons...Storm at Sea I loved the use of the fabrics as well as the quilting design and secondly, the elephant quilt has given me the itch to quilt again after 5 years... :-)

Lisa Cowell

2/1/2015 11:51:00 am

I like the colors, and was intrigued by the dress style. I think it would look great on someone of "lesser stature" than myself. I designed and made a top and dresses similar to this in the 60s, but the cross was in the front and the belting was hidden inside.

I love this range. It's so much more than black and white as it encompasses every shade of cream and grey in between. I have been inspired by lots of stops on the hop but especially the AllPeopleQuilt crosses quilt. I would make a stack of throw pillows and a lap quilt of PLUS signs. So excited to get this in the shops!

Black and white is so very timeless but your designs take it up another notch or two! I would love a chance to create something with your FQ Tower. Thanks for the chance to win.

Dixie McIntyre

Love the chance to win some fabulous fabric....every quilt needs a spot of black and white!

Teri

I love the black and white fabrics in this line! And I would certainly put something I won into a quilt for my husband, who has been waiting patiently for one!

Linda

I would love to make the elephant quilt but I would raise his trunk a little more to make sure my good luck would not pour out. Black and white has always got my attention.

I love your elephant quilt. I have never made a black and white quilt
thinking they are boring but, your is amazing

Sue Smith

2/1/2015 10:48:04 pm

I love the idea of making a pieced background then putting a big appliqué of something you care about over the top.

Faye Nettles

My 22 year old grandson requested a black and white quilt. This beautiful line would be perfect!

Mom C

Janice Ryan's values quilt, Angela Walters quilting, Jenny Pedigo, every designer has had stunning examples showcasing your balck and white line. All gorgeous. I've never make a black/white quilt but it's been on my list. With all these great examples I have to move it up. Thanks.

2/2/2015 12:23:34 am

My stash has far too few black and white fabrics, although a black and white quilt is on my to do list. I'd choose a modern pattern with big blocks to show off rounded quilting patterns. Thanks for the giveaway.

Denise

2/2/2015 01:31:45 am

I love the idea of taking a traditional quilt pattern and converting it to black and white. Gives it such a different look! I think I'd try a churn dash or Ohio star in this collection.

Sheryl Hoag

2/2/2015 01:34:33 am

I am inspired by colors in the environment. I would use this fabric to make my first black and white landscape quilt!

Lara link

2/2/2015 01:49:33 am

what a lovely collection and if I don't win it I will buy it cause I know exactly what to make using this collection for a friend who recently married.

Susan P

2/2/2015 03:30:03 am

I love your elephant quilt. You and many of your design colleagues are my inspiration. I'm just awed with how you can continue to come up with something new and free. Thanks for the giveaway!

JoAnn W

2/2/2015 03:38:52 am

I love black/white combinations, and adding the elephant and child is just perfect---I would be making your quilt pattern for sure!

Bobbie

2/2/2015 03:46:55 am

Wow! I need a quilt for a baby boy; this elephant pattern would be perfect.

Brenda

2/2/2015 04:45:33 am

Love Love Love the Elephant and I. Am for sure going to make this quilt, regardless of whether I win or not! One of my favorite quilts I have ever seen. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for the opportunity!!

2/2/2015 05:03:45 am

I'm working on a blues and greens top right now which has scrappy black on white sashings and white on black borders. Wish I'd have had some of yours when I cut. I love the ash, smoke, and charcoal feathers!

Shari

2/2/2015 06:46:15 am

I would love a collection of black and white and would either just do fiesta flowers in B&W value and/or add a few color flowers.

EllenB

2/2/2015 08:26:20 am

Black and white would make great backgrounds for some funky Shimmer (my favorite!) blooms.

Lisa Clancy

2/2/2015 01:59:50 pm

It's great to see all the different ways fabric can be used. Some individual style can change things up. I like them all and personally love the elephant and I. I would make that for my soon to be grandchild with the applique in varied shades of blue.

Terri van Gulik

2/2/2015 08:17:24 pm

What a lovely set of blacks and whites. Very soothing combination, with a pop of colour. I would like to make a b & w quilt, not sure what colour I would want the pop to be though. Maybe lime green.

Lou link

2/2/2015 08:23:45 pm

Love your Elephant and I quilt and the contrast between B&W and the blast of colour. I think I'd use them in the background with some Oakshott cottons. But I do love the geometric quilt from Janice Zeller Ryan... Decisions decisions....

2/2/2015 09:16:27 pm

So excited to see your Black and White collection is now available! Got to see a 'sneak peak' at our guild meeting a few months back - stunning.

Tomomi McElwee

2/3/2015 03:22:34 am

Beautiful black and white collection. Love to have some in my stash. I am a quilter so I like that storm at sea quilt by Janice but I really like the paper pieced feather by Sarah. So beautiful!

Brenda Howard

2/3/2015 04:09:25 am

I ALWAYS include at least a small amount of black and white on every quilt. It completes the dotting of the eye and the crossing of the t for me visually. Your collection is inspiring! Thanks for sharing your passion and talent.

sylvia link

2/3/2015 06:10:10 am

So fun! I think this would be great with just one accent color--but picking the accent color would be really hard!

Piroska

2/3/2015 07:41:46 am

Gorgeous quilts! Especially the Elephant one. Love the colour pop!
If I won, I would make a quilt for my niece's baby.

Jantine Urban link

2/3/2015 11:20:45 pm

I am stunned with this collection and dream of winning since febr 9th is my birthday and my 15 yo son wants a black and white quilt... i loved seeing all the projects with the fabrics, it is hard to choose. I would choose the large symmetrical print with leaves and birds as an inspiration, but both the storm at sea and the quilt with the feathers took my breath away!

Laura Lightner link

2/4/2015 03:54:52 am

I am so inspired about you donating to the Nature Elephant Park. That really touches my heart. If I won I would do something like you did with the Black and White then throw in something with a lot of color, Like the Elephant or Butterfly quilt. Very eye catching.

2/4/2015 12:19:00 pm

I love Black and White Quilts with nearly every color though red and lime green are my favorite. Love the Elephant Quilt.

Rhonda Best

Just found you via the Black and White Blog hop. Love the ethos of the site and that you are donating to Elephant Nature Park. I will get the pattern for Elephant and I when it comes in stock, I hope you do downloads rather than ship to England.

Deb G. link

2/4/2015 10:15:20 pm

I love black and white fabrics and keep them in my stash always. Your fabrics would be perfect for a large triangle quilt that I have sitting in my brain but yet to be made!

Nancy E

2/5/2015 12:25:47 am

The Elephant and I is on my list to make for my daughter and garments are my list to make for myself. Thanks so much for the wonderful fabrics over the years. I come across your designs from previous years as I make quilts with my stash.......so nice to see your name on the selvedge.

Mel

2/5/2015 12:59:18 am

oh my goodness that quilt is gorgeous! I came over from Oliver and S. I would probably make my girls something to wear if I won. thanks for the chance!

2/5/2015 01:08:06 am

I actually think these black and whites would make lovely clothes for small ones. I would make a shirt for my 2 year old and a baby-size quilt for him to snuggle with.

Tarnia

2/5/2015 01:23:17 am

All joined up. I would like to make the free quilt pattern, though i am pretty certain i do not have the skills to quilt it as beautifully as angela did. Loving the blog hop.

Michele @chelengeorge

2/5/2015 02:16:11 am

I'm crazy about your B&Ws and would definitely incorporate them into my first bee hive quilt which will be scrappy B&W with tiny pops of saturated color. This elephant quilt also inspires me to make a baby quilt for dear friends who are adopting. They happen to be biracial. The future mother's favorite childhood book is "Tusk Tusk" (by David McKee) about two herds of elephants who are at war, one herd is black and the other is white. Eventually some from both herds move away together to live in peace and after a long time all of the elephants are grey. It's a harsh yet beautiful story.

2/5/2015 03:26:50 am

I am in love with your elephant quilt! Such an amazingly simply, yet dramatic depiction of regal animals.

I'm inspired by whichever project I'm currently creating, and that varies from hand-quilted pincushions, bead embroidered pieces ranging from pendants to wall-hangings, or larger endeavors.

If I were lucky enough to win the tower of black and white FQs, I'd like to do a series of black and white wall-hangings or sets of smaller framed fabric pictures, with pops of bright colors, embellished with thread and bead embroidery. The possibilities are endless! Thank you.

Beth Dollar

2/5/2015 04:18:40 am

Today I received Quilts and More magazine plus background fabric. Now I am trying to find your email link.please let me know if you see this comment. I love this fabric because it is not just black and white but all these lovely gradations.

Danae

2/5/2015 07:42:19 am

This is a stunning collection. The fat quarter collection would make a marvelous quilt, but I would probably frame some of the pieces for a gallery wall in my living room and work the rest into a clothing project like Liesl and Amy Gibson.

Logan link

2/5/2015 08:07:36 am

I love the handbag by GenXQuilters. I have purchased some of the Kaleidoscope in Charcoal to make a Jamie dress in to wear to a couple of weddings this spring/summer. If I would love to make an entire wardrobe to match and a quilt so that it would be like camouflage.

Melissa link

2/5/2015 09:58:07 am

So far I have been impressed with everything I have seen! I would make a quilt that shows off the large pattern (I love nature themed prints so I would feature those prominently). I would make rectangle bricks and outline each brick with a thin line of different greens :)

2/5/2015 10:29:49 pm

That elephant is surely an inspiration! Love working with black and white fabric.

Annmarie

2/6/2015 12:12:47 am

Confession: I have never been a fan of black & white fabric BUT after following every post on your blog hop, I'm a fan! All of the designers created wonderful things. Most amazing was the difference from one project to the next. My favorite was "Catching the Dream by Sunrise" by Sarah Sharp - talk about thinking out of the box! I was also very impressed with the dress Liesl Gibson made for her daughter - again very unusual design. As for me, I would love to make a sundress from this fabric line now that I am a fan of Black & White!

Irelle Beatie link

2/6/2015 12:54:14 am

I have a black and white quilt rattling around in my brain and would love to use your collection. That elephant is amazing :)

Adee

2/6/2015 01:04:58 am

This collection was one of my top 5 of fall market. I loved your explanation of your design process, and seeing the color variations in gray scale. Such a beautiful line.

2/6/2015 01:23:23 am

I love your black and white collection! I'd love to use it when making a wedding quilt for my youngest son and his lady love. And then I'll use that elephant quilt pattern for their baby quilt... Ha! Well one day..

2/6/2015 01:29:09 am

I love the quilts so beautiful.

Beth T.

2/6/2015 02:00:35 am

I love your Elephant and I quilt. If I won, I might tweak it a bit. Our niece and nephew lost their Great Pyranese last year--a dog nearly as big as an elephant, and so very dear to their family. I'd love to make a wallhanging showing the three children leading their beloved Kyah, similar to your Elephant and I quilt. Thank you for the inspiration.

Patricia Houmdi

2/6/2015 02:04:31 am

Love, love, love these black and white prints!

Susan K

2/6/2015 02:12:12 am

Love the elephant quilt and the story behind it. If I had that wonderful stack of fabric, I'd make a black & white quilt with pops of color (2"or less). I've had a quilt in my head, just need to get it on graph paper and planned out.

Toni M link

2/6/2015 02:39:45 am

I love all the black and whites. I haven't made a b/w quilt yet, but I have a pattern for black Dresden Plates on a white background from QM mag that is on my to-do list! So I'd use these to make that quilt.

2/6/2015 02:45:22 am

Storm at sea is pretty spectacular. Would love to make a quilt with this.

Andrea C

2/6/2015 03:06:32 am

I love black & white prints. They can add so much depth.

Maxine E

Oh my goodness.. this bundle is amazing. I love black and white. I need to make a black and white quilt.

Norma

2/6/2015 03:26:25 am

I'm always inspired by black and white fabrics and absolutely love the bright colors of the elephant against the b&w background. I have a niece who would love that quilt, too. I would make a quilt with these adding a pop of one of my favorite colors - maybe turquoise or fuschia.

Gail Burke

2/6/2015 04:12:45 am

I love the black and white fabric. My favorite of your collection is the one with the feathers on it. I think the only think that would be more stunning would be black and white birds. Should I actually be so fortunate as to win I'd make a black and white, yellow, and red quilt for my husband for Christmas. Black, White, Yellow, and Red are very traditional colors for Native Americans, and he being 75% Native they hold very strong meaning for him and I both.

Susan

2/6/2015 04:50:08 am

Love black and white material and I absolutely love your elephant quilt. I will be having a go at making that.

Teresa Block

2/6/2015 04:57:30 am

I love the Dreamcatcher textile art piece, but I'm most likely to sew up an On the Plus Side wall hanging!

2/6/2015 05:06:53 am

I would love to do a zigzag quilt, but make the center row a red zigzag (or even rainbow) instead of black. I feel inspired with the pops of color against the black and white!

Robin W Walston

2/6/2015 05:15:26 am

I love the storm at sea quilt. I would make a quilt with the fabrics if I won them - something modern and cozy.

MoeWest

2/6/2015 05:16:39 am

What a great blog hop! My favourite project is the dreamcatcher quilt by Sarah Sharp of no hats in the house. If I am lucky enough to win this bundle, I would combine these fabrics with my Shimmer scraps and make a quilt. I also really love the Elephant and I pattern!

Linda Webster

2/6/2015 05:55:26 am

All the projects were wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing what all the bloggers had created with Black & White. My favourite project is the Super Tote made by Anne Marie at Gen X Quilter

2/6/2015 05:57:40 am

Sorry, Jennifer, I forgot to mention what I would make with your Black & White collection. I would make a quilt for myself.

2/6/2015 06:48:41 am

I'm so happy! I googled Elephant and I and found it available to pre order on Amazon.co,uk Now I just need the fabrics.

Cindy

2/6/2015 07:50:38 am

Absolutely love the black and white fabrics. Reminds me of stunning black and white photos. Would love to make a quilt for my mother out of this fabric. Off to explore and be inspired! Thanks so much!

Julia S

I love the way Sew Kind of Wonderful paired your new fabrics with aqua. Swoon! Squee!

Betsy link

2/6/2015 11:16:05 am

Love the black and white fabrics! Although all the projects in the blog hop are beautiful my absolute favorite is still the Storm at Sea quilt by Janice Zeller Ryan and Angela Walters. My second favorite is the Saylor Top by Amy Gibson. I think this fabric is exactly what I need to finish off a Rothko-inspired design for a quilt I've been planning for a while or your Elephant and I Quilt or maybe I would try my hand at replicating the Ryan/Walters quilt. So many possibilities! Also, thank you for supporting such a great cause!

Kim S. link

2/6/2015 12:47:11 pm

I love the black and white prints in this collection. The samples on the hops are beautiful.

Abby Fuller link

2/7/2015 12:14:44 am

My favorite project was the butterflies by The Tattoooed Quilter, "Outside In". The little pop of blue was just right with the blakc and whites. Runner up was the one with the greens (I've lot my notes) - Big X little Os? Or was it the other way around?

If I win I will make one or more quilts with this fabric. With a touch of color. Blue? Green? Yellow? Red? Maybe all of them!

Lori

2/7/2015 12:18:49 am

I am planning a black & white with a pop of red for my nephew's high school graduation. This bundle would go a long way...

Julie B

2/7/2015 12:26:55 am

Diane Beavers

2/7/2015 03:23:03 am

Wow Jennifer you've done it again, inspired me to no end w/your Black and White Collection!!. I believe my 2nd favorite on this blog hop is "Winding Ways" Fabric Depot's quilt, which includes six different designs in three colorways; and it perfectly highlights your Studio Stash Yarn Dyed fabrics.
Your elephant quilt represents so much of life, perseverance and how triumphant our culture has become. Tis my favorite on this hop
Thank you again for such a magnificent blog hop.

2/7/2015 03:49:07 am

ty for blog hop i really got inspired buy..the alphabet quilt very very cool

Mara

2/7/2015 04:58:39 am

It would be so fun to play with your black and white fabrics, I would especially love to add a little colored embroidery to the feathers as shown by one of the blog hoppers and now I can't find that post again, but it was beautiful.

Noeline Blume

2/8/2015 02:20:12 am

Would love to win this fat quarter set.
My favourite projects in this grouping are the Alphabet Quilt and On the Plus Side. I'm not brave enough to attempt something like the Alphabet Quilt, but could see making something like On the Plus Side as it is similar to some projects I've completed in the past.

I love the Sailor Too and the Oliver and S dress. These fabrics are great for clothing!

I am inspired by the Storm at Sea in Neutrals and the Metro Twist.
I would enjoy making either one.

Cheryl

2/8/2015 02:22:15 pm

I just adore thus line. Black and white are a staple of mine. I've definitely been inspired by these designs. The dress was amazing. I'll probably use the fat quarter bundle for a super tote and will make a quilt using my new quick curve ruler. The quilt here was awesome!

Laura Tawney

2/8/2015 03:08:43 pm

I love black and white quilts. Made my son-in-law a Ranchers Daughter quilt with all black and whites and now I'm out of just about all my black and white fabrics. Everyone that has seen it, thinks it's beautiful. My son-in-law, Tracer Skelton was just awe struck when he received it. Would love to make more black and white quilts. Love the storm at sea quilt. Love your elephant quilt. My granddaughter would love it. Thanks for the chance to win.

Linda Gentle

2/6/2016 03:06:27 pm

I would make the black and white quilt "Storm At Sea"
This is the most beautiful pattern I have ever seen. I have been trying to collect the yardage needed to make it, but I am not able to find some of the pieces I need. I always seem to give away the quilts I make. But this one I would keep, it would be wonderful to own a quilt, especially this one. It would represent our Indian heritage.What an inspiration. Great job on the patterns.

Sheila champion
