    Oh my word! I LOVE it! It's so much warmer and prettier than the yucky yellow and grey that is so popular right now.

    Purple has been my favorite color since having a daughter almost 2 years ago... I was determined I didn't want her to be a pink girly-girl, so purple became my go-to color. It's feminine and sophisticated and has a girly feel without being too over the top. I LOVE it!

    3 years ago I used your orchid fabric to make a baby bag for a friends daughter, it has been my favorite creation so far! I don't see the print listed on your site anymore, but I loved it and so did she! Purples/pinks are seriously lacking in my stash!

    Purple has a nice coolness to it and gray offers elegance - I think it works well as a combination. What about a punch of yellow as an accent for both?

    I recently had a session with a stylist, a Tim Gunn's Guide to Style kind of thing. It was a traumatic experience in many ways (now I understand why the women always cry on that show), and a lot of my favorite colors were vetoed. I can't wear red or orange anymore (she's right, those colors don't flatter me at all, but it's still a painful experience). However, grey & purple are both on the allowed list. I would love to win this and maybe make a couple of skirts and shirts to fill up my now quite empty closet...

    Purple has been my favorite color since I was a little girl. When I was 5, my parents let me pick out my own carpet in my bedroom and for the next 10 years, I had dark purple carpet. I drifted for awhile, claiming to love blue best, but purple has now drawn me back in. This orchid is the grown-up version of my life-long love affair with purple.

    My favorite color is purple. Grey and purple is the theme of my sewing room that I am planning to set up (ever since my son's birth three years ago). I love this specific combination of purple with green

    You all really are making it so very hard to pick a favorite here!! But these are the colors I have always had somewhere in my house. As I look back over the collections you have shown - well, I just don't know who or what is going to have to find another place to live so I can have more fabric!!! This is beautiful and clinches you as favored in my book. Thanks for sharing such beauty!

    I'm new to sewing, and I love your orchid gray color story. I taught myself to sew after my first daughter was born two years ago, and I am just starting to think of all the many uses of the beautiful fabric you guys create! For my girls and for my home as well! I definitely got my interest in sewing from my late father, who was an upholsterer, but I was always terrified of his machine growing up. Since then, I've got the courage to learn how to use the machine and teach myself to sew. All of your beautiful fabrics are so inspirational to my creations. I just found your blog, and now I'm an addicted follower!

    I love how the grey "grounds" the purple. It's a lovely combination, one that I hadn't considered before. It makes me want to buy a purple tie to go with my husband's grey suit!

    Oh, that colors are really beautitul. I love specially the orchid one. The walls of my living room are painted in a kind of orchid and my sofa is white, so it would be great to make a pair of cushion covers and a quilt to warm the sofa in the cold nights that are next to come.
    Thank you.

    Wow! I just love the Orchid color story. A skillful blend of orchid and grays make some gorgeous tones! I am a color nut and never have enough variety. I am always looking for that perfect shade in my stash.

    Have a super day!

    That color is really beautiful and really hard to combine properly, the bad thing about it is that it must combine with everything you are wearing, because it doesn't look good with many colors.
