Lagoon Color Story Giveaway

Congratulations!

Mercedes F. 

 

you're the winner for last week's 

Orchid gray color story

giveaway

 please email your name and street address to:

info@michaelmillerfabrics.com

Now for today's color story:

Lagoon

This has been one of the most popular color stories ever.  It used to be known as "the money color " in  New York's  garment center/ dress business.  Whatever the latest color trends were, this winner would always be added to the lineup because it always sells. 

The whole range of blues, teals, emerald and turquoise with touches of lime.  The depth and intensity of the colors may change from year to year but it's attraction stays constant.  I think it's our  connection to nature that draws us to it.  The blues of the sky, the turquoise of water and the green shades of nature.

  Is this your go-to color story?  Does it resonate with you?

leave a comment, let me know and you could win a yard of each of the Lagoon color story prints pictured above.  

The random winner will be announced next wednesday.

And I'd like to say to all you east coast folks 

dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irene;

this week's water theme color story is purely coincidental.

Here's to calmer times and the soothing effects of

natures' favorite 

blue and green palette.

Luscious
 sophisticated femininity, elegant, sweet but not saccharin.

EXOTIC

Road to Marrakesh Quilt

Overall the importance of gray and all it's variations as a neutral base

to go with ALL COLORS

has been seeping into our consciousness for the past few years.

That along with the evolution of "orchid" as a sophisticated purple/pink

makes this a 

WINNER!

for last weeks' 

It's a Girl Thing color story giveaway.....
Bonnie Colleen

you're our winner!

pls. email your name and street address to:  info@michaelmillerfabrics.com

Now for today's color story:

It's A Boy Thing 

 

The number one complaint I get is :

"There's not enough "boy" prints out there!"

No matter how many we do, it's never enough!

What they're really talking about is a very specific color range.  

Here's the no-nos in that palette:

pink, magenta, lavender - anything that suggests "girl"
when it comes down to what to make in whatever pallet for the 
"little guy in your life"
we've got 
OPTIONS!
Sarah Jane's sweet and sophisticated boy's groups from her collection:
Children at Play
After School
and
Over the fence

or
  Emily Herrick's primary colors with accents of gray and orange
Going Coastal 

or
  for a modern twist on 
"blue for boys" 
we tried Aqua and gray.

With Aqua's soothing universal appeal and the softness of gray 
it's a winner

 and speaking of winners
it's that time again
leave your comment and share your thoughts.
A random winner will be announced next wed. 
and
receive 1 yd of each of the "it's a boy" prints shown above.


Next Wed. will be Rouge et Noir!
