All things Kate

Jun 3, 2013 / 157 Comments
Alyce has invited me to join in on the Kate Spain blog hop. Kate Spain is not only one of the nicest people in the world but is bursting with creativity and imagination, notably reflected in her beautiful designs. 
Over the years Kate has designed the following fabric collections :
Verna , 12 Days of Christmas, Fandango , Central Park, Flurry, Terrain, Good Fortune, Serenade, Joy, Cuzco, Honey Honey, In from the Cold and soon to be released – Sunnyside 
I have bought everyone of Kate’s collections and over the years have made and gave away many quilts using these fabrics. I still have a stash of pre-cuts of my favourites, like Central Park, that I cannot seem to part with.
This is my Snowflake quilt from the book Sweet Celebrations. I love the fresh blue Kate used with her Christmas collection – Flurry – as well as the crisp spring greens and vibrant reds.
One of my first Moda Bake Shop recipes was the Fandango Clams quilt.
Fandango had an almost seaside feel with it’s crisp turquoise, and warm yellow, oranges and a splash of purple.
String quilt made with Bella solids and Good Fortune. A present for the teacher in 2011.
The gorgeous cushion below was made by Danielle with a Jelly Roll of Serenade I sent to her. The colours are reminiscent of Autumn with their greys, dusky blues, oranges and warm browns and a drop of purple.

To celebrate ‘All things Kate’, I am giving one lucky blogger the chance to win a Serenade Layer Cake.
To enter, leave a comment on this blog using the names of some of Kate’s collections. For example, 
‘Verna and I went for a walk in Central park. We met a man whose sweet Seranade made us do the Fandango’

Good luck and the winner will be drawn 30th June 2013.

    Oh, what joy it was to serenade Verna in Central Park singing the 12 Days of Christmas, and we had the good fortune to come in from the cold just as it was starting to flurry!

    That was fun 🙂

    We met while caroling in Central Park. A serenade of 12 Days of Christmas brings joy to the holiday, but meeting him sent a flurry of excitement through my heart. We walked through the snowy terrain of the park and chatted about his recent trip to Cuzco where he learned the Fandango. He wants to teach me! We then had the good fortune to find the Sunnyside Restaurant open at such an hour. It is owned by a delightful woman, named Verna. We came in from the cold, and enjoyed some of her best treats, filled with plenty of honey, honey! and a hot cup of coffee. I can't wait until I see him again.

    VERNA awoke with a SERENADE of HONEY HONEY by Abba then realized – only 12DAYS OF CHRISTMAS shopping left. In a FLURRY she took a shortcut thru CENTRAL PARK to her travel agent to buy tickets to CUZCO for her family. What JOY to come IN FROM THE COLD and found to her GOOD FORTUNE a 2 for 1 sale – she now awaits to relax SUNNYSIDE with her family for New Years!

    On each of the 12 Days of Christmas, I felt the Joy of coming In From the Cold after having the Good Fortune to dance the Fandango with my Honey Honey in a Flurry of snow in Central Park Terrain while being Serendaded by a gentleman whose mother's name was Verna from the Sunnyside of Cuzco.

    During the "12 days of Christmas", when the snow was beginning to "Flurry", I called my dog "Verna" "In from the Cold" and snuggling with her by the fire, sang her a "Serenade" of "Honey, Honey"

    In the 12 Days of Christmas parade at Central Park, Verna and her Honey Honey did the Fandango dance which brought everyone much Joy, but it was their Good Fortune to get In From The Cold and dream of going to the Sunnyside Terrain of Cuzco!
    Ha Ha! Hope no English teachers are appalled by that total Run-on sentence! I absolutely love everything Kate Spain, she is one of my favs so of course I would love to win this! But I don't see any other comments yet, so does that mean I'm the first one to comment? I hope not, because the first one to comment never wins!

    On one of the 12 days of Christmas, I was caught in a Flurry in the middle of Central Park. Whilst traipsing through the Terrain I saw the Fandango flamingo Serenade Cafe. I stumbled In From The Cold and had the Good Fortune and Joy to meet my Honey Honey who asked me to walk her to the Sunnyside of the street. Signed Verna Cuzco.

Only thing is, Verna's Honey Honey, who lives close to Central Park just called, he wants to Serenade her over the 12 Days of Christmas in Cuzco. Hmm, where does that leave me? Doing the Fandango on my own. Oh well, the Sunnyside is I can always come In From the Cold.

    I was a Flurry of a Joy-ful Serenade as I Fandango-ed across the Terrain in the Sunnyside from Central Park to Cuzco with my Honey Honey. What Good Fortune I had to meet Verna and bring her In From the Cold on these 12 Days of Christmas!

    Verna, Joy & I decided to visit Central Park. We had the Good Fortune to be there when a concert was on – the band played a variety of tunes including Fandango, Honey Honey, 12 days of Christmas and finished with a lovely Serenade. We then went further into the park, over some rough Terrain to the ice-cream shop ”In from the Cold” where we enjoyed a new flavoured ice-cream – Cuzco. But it was too cold – so in a Flurry we went over to the Sunnyside of the park.

    This has been fun!

    I have been celebrating my Good Fortune by dancing the Fandango to a Serenade by Verna with my Honey, Honey in Central Park on the Sunnyside of the street even though the Terrain is rough. There was a Flurry of activity since it was during the Twelve Days of Christmas.

    I've actually been hoarding my collection of Good Fortune waiting for the perfect project to come along. It's my favorite so I'm afraid to cut into it.

    Honey, Honey, I had a good close look at the Cuzco Terrain (my favourite collection) to make sure there was nothing to trip on when we do the Fandago. Oh Joy, we are having a Flurry of Good Fortune. The Terrain is clear.

    What a great idea Jane! Winter has finally arrived in Perth, so it was a joy to come in from the cold (I have sooooo much washing to hang out!) and read your blog post. Must go – my little one is trying to serenade me with his 'honey, honey' song (I think he wants a sandwich!).

    It was the first of the 12 Days of Christmas. As Verna and I looked out the window we saw a Flurry of snow drift over the Terrain of Central Park. Abba was playing on the radio and we rose from our seats and danced the Fandango with Joy as the first notes of Honey, Honey began to Serenade us. Our sewing lay forgotten, bundles of Cuzco and Good Fortune waiting by our machines for us to return.

    When I woke up this morning I remembered dreaming about being in Caledonia with Kate Spain. We were both there to find Joy, to come In From The Cold and avoid a potential Flurry! We discussed the Terrain while waiting for breakfast of eggs Sunny Side and toast with Honey Honey. We were delighted with a Serenade while strolling through a park that was much like Central Park and saw a flash mob doing the Fandango. Thanks for a wonderful day Kate, I know we shall meet again soon.

    FLURRY-s in May brought a bit of dismay… and wished my sweet HONEY HONEY would not SERENADE me with the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS when I would rather be down by the bay. There was much JOY when he promised me MORE FABRIC and a trip to CUZCO to make up for the weather in Spain. So quickly I packed my favorite VERNA bag! Isn't that GOOD FORTUNE for a Day in May when I can go down by the bay! You put JOY in my heart Kate Spain! Thank you! Janita

    This is a fictional account of an imaginary event that happened one day somewhere to someone, or maybe it did not happen at all. Regardless, I have printed all 28 pages of the quilt pattern In from the Cold and want to win the fabric so I can make this awesome quilt.
    One day Verna and Joy were walking with me in Central Park. It was our Good Fortune to receive a Serenade, an invitation to walk on the Sunnyside of the street, and to come in from the Cold and snow Flurry to celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas open house at the coffee shop. To our surprise, our mutual friend Honey Honey had arranged for Kate Spain to appear at that coffee shop. So, there we were all snug and cozy listening to Kate Spain regale us with the stories behind her collections of Fandango, Terrain, and Cuzco. Kate Spain is such a fantastic designer and teller of stories. Thanks Kate!

    I came In From the Cold to enjoy some time with my Honey Honey by my Sunnyside window, and there he sang me a sweet Seranade! Thanks for the awesome giveaway and the pictures of the gorgeous, inspiring quilts on your blog. I love your work!

    My friend Verna and I went for a walk in Central Park and had the Good Fortune to see a Flurry of activity near the lake, where a man from Cuzco created a lot of Joy with his Serenade of The Twelve Days of Christmas, after which we decided to come In From The Cold and enjoy some hot cocoa.

    During the 12 Days of Christmas, we took a walk through Central Park, until we saw a Flurry…then we felt Joy and Good Fortune to arrive home and come In From the Cold.

    Jane and Kate always liked to meet for breakfast in a little cafe beside the canal in Cuzco, Peru. Jane always selected honey, honey with her mashka whilst Kate preferred eggs, sunnyside up. After breakfast they would walk along the canal, chatting and planning their next quilting project or fabric design. But on days when the wind swept in from the Peruvian mountains the pair of them would spend the morning, drinking coffee in the little cafe, cosy and warm as they stayed in from the cold. Many a pattern or a design could be traced back to way the cream swirled in the coffee or the pattern of the tiles on the wall in that little cafe, beside the canal in Cuzco.

    Today, as I walked over the Terrain, I had Joy in my heart from seeing a Flurry and knowing that Good Fortune comes to those who walk. Thanks for the Blog Hop and the opportunity to meet other fans of Kate Spain. I love the colors!!

    Today, as I walked the Terrain, I had Joy in my heart as a Flurry floated down and I knew Good Fortune comes to those who walk about the world. Thanks for the blog hop and the opportunity to meet others interested in Kate Spain designs. I truly love the colors!!

    It was in December, more like 12 days of Christmas and with Joy I decided to take a walk in Central Park. It was sooo cold out that I decided to come In from the Cold and have some tea and Honey Honey. To also help me warm up I just thought of the Sunnyside of the Terrain and the Good Fortune of Verna. Hahaha! Thanks- that was fun!:)

    My apologies to Abba for borrowing their lyrics to Honey Honey.

    Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
    Honey honey, serenade me, ah-hah, honey honey
    I'd heard about Verna before
    I wanted to know some more
    And now I know what they mean, you're a Fandango machine
    Oh, you're like a flurry

    On Memorial Day we came In From The Cold to see a snow Flurry outside, But Good Fortune and Joy followed the next day when the Sunnyside of Spring came back across our Terrain.

    One of my favorite movies features Cuzco – The Emporer's New Groove. The Terrain featured was beautiful, and I felt like I had the Good Fortune of really visiting. It is a Fandango of a place full of Flurry!

    Tonight I have the good fortune of getting on a plane and heading on to new terrain overseas. I am hoping my husband will be romantic and serenade me as if I were sitting in Central Park! I can't wait to head in from the cold of Melbourne and head to the sunnyside of Fiji!

    It was a rough and rocky terrain but eventually my good fortune came. My honey honey proposed to me with a serenade. From there on in, everything was full of joy and the days were sunnyside!

    It was a rocky terrain and my heart filled with a flurry. But eventually my good fortune came and my honey honey proposed with a serenade. We danced the fandango until we had to come in from the cold. From there on in, we were full of joy and all our days were sunnyside xx

    Honey, honey – my heart would be in a Flurry in a beautiful Terrain if I had the Good Fortune to be picked for this lovely gift. I would Serenade quilters with your praises everywhere – even in the middle of Central Park!

    I expected to go to the "Sunnyside" of southern Florida for the "12 Days of Christmas" with "Verna". Instead of being "In from the cold", I had the "Good Fortune" and "Joy" of the beach! Can't wait for Sunnyside….

    LOVE this Blog Hop. It is my first ever!

    I was walking last winter in Central Park, singing the Twelve Days of Christmas, when I had the Good Fortune to see Frosty the Snowman. He was dancing the Fandango in the snow, creating quite a Flurry. He called out to me,"Verna, come dance with me and share in my Joy!!" So we danced and danced, until the visiting band from Cuzco saw us and joined in the fun. We danced and danced more, till the Terrain got to rough to dance on. I was getting cold, so I told Frosty, "Honey, Honey, I have to go get In from the cold." As I left to go bask in the Sunny side of a warm fire, Frosty Serenaded me good-night. (There, I think I use them all!! 🙂

    I am in love with the newest line…it's a strange thing to have my daughter send me a link to the very fabric on my wish list. When she talked about it we both struggled to name the designer but we remembered the name of the fabric line. My order should arrive by Monday
