Patisserie has shipped… & it’s time for a giveaway!
I love those words… "has shipped" or the words " is arriving on store shelves" or the phrase " has hit the streets"… need I say more? There is something about those words that is exhilarating for me as a designer. It is the moment of truth. I have envisioned & designed it. The design team has executed it. The mills have created it. MODA has marketed and sold it. Stores have bought it. I have gushed about loving it. But until now, you haven't gotten to play with it! Until now….
And so here it is and hopefully at a store near you or if not certainly at an online store near your fingertips!
Even as I was gushing some more about it here for this wonderful gal, I couldn't help but find myself back on those little criss crossing streets…
So here it is… just in case you don't already have your hands on some of these goodies we are having a little giveaway and a name contest all at once.
We are giving away 1 Jelly Roll™, 1 Honey Bun™, 2 Turnovers™, a complete set of Patisserie patterns & a surprise gift for the winner[s] of the name contest.
When you leave your comment, please share with me some possible names for my upcoming projects. I can't share the projects quite yet but you all did such a fabulous job with names last time we did this that I am confident you can come up with some again "project sight unseen".
Use Patisserie as your inspiration and just go for it! Multiple entries for names are just fine but we will only count 1 towards the contest.
We will choose winners next wednesday…
These below are the gorgeous Patisserie pages from the infamous MODA Playbook given out at Market. Can't you just feel yourself transported??
Thanks for playing along.
Talk to you soon.

Congrats! How exciting.
The Patisserie pages are beautiful.
Okay, I’ll take a stab at this…
Coulis – a simple, yet elegant enhancement to French pastries. I love the concept but not sure it would be mainstream enough?
Éclair – a filled and/or glazed French puff pastry. Everyone knows what an Éclair is and it’s a beautiful word.
Marjolaine – a buttercream, hazelnut and mocha French dessert with puff pastry. Another beautiful word to see and to say. Of the 3, I like this one.
Have a great day!

Jen | 6th Mar 09
In French class, we would always use “Boulangerie patisserie” together. Boulangerie is really more of just a bakery where as patisserie is more like what it sounds like, a paistry shop, so if you want a complimentary name, that would be good. I always think of the museums and churches of Paris, not to mention some of the famous landmarks. I think one of the most fitting names might be Montmatre, the area in which Sacre Coeur sits, which as dozens of fabric stores all around. It’s heaven. If you’re looking for something more floral, there are tons of gardens all throughout the city. I list some names below.
So my suggestions are:
Boulangerie
Fields of Lavender
Churches: Sainte Chapelle, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur
Museumes: La Louvre, Le Centre Pompidou, Muse D’Orsay
Arrondissements – how Paris is divided
Momtmarte – fabric CITY!!!
Gardens: Jardin des Tuileries, Jardin du Luxembourg, Jardin des Plantes…
Les Bateau Mouche (literal translation, “Fly Boats”… they travel down La Scine)
Jeannette | 6th Mar 09
I am very patiently waiting for Patisserie to reach our shores in New Zealand. For names about
Parisian Romance
Raspberry Creams
It is so good that we can look at and eat our fill of these beautiful fabrics and not gain any weight. Weight Watchers Delight
jen | 6th Mar 09
I just love this line. Scrumptious!
Andrea | 6th Mar 09
It all looks beautiful and I would love to win some.
As far as naming future projects what about doing something with the word ‘edible?’ For example if there is a blue colorway you could call it ‘sky edibles’ or ‘blueberry edibles’ etc. Hope you get inspired from all the suggestions.
Thimbleanna | 6th Mar 09
Oooh yummy! I like Meringue. Chocolate Meringue. Meringe Truffle.
Lynn | 6th Mar 09
Joanna, thanks for letting us have our input. Any connection with this line is an honor. I love it! My suggestions: creme de le creme, Parisian cafe`, cafe de Paris For your new lines I still think France conjures up luxurious and fabulous thoughts, so how about: Belle Paris, Marseilles, or magnifique. As our one time French exchange student, Nathalie, always says to end correspondence, I kees (kiss) you.
Gretchen | 6th Mar 09
I positively LOVE this fabric line!!! It is scrumptious to say the least. Some ideas for names are:
madeleines (lovely, light French cookies with a shell-like design)

crepe Suzette

Julie | 7th Mar 09
Beautiful as always…Sun-Washed Linen…Wine & Roses…Blossom…Creme Frache…Berry Tarts…maybe I’m not so good with the names:) but your fabric would have a happy home withe me!

Sandi Henderson | 7th Mar 09
Joanna I LOVE this collection. Can we go to Paris sometime and hit those markets together? And then design collections from the same inspiration that would ultimately end up completely different? Sounds like fun to me.
I’m sewing Eliza a dress this week out of some of your lovely fabric and it’s making me want to have lunch (or a trip to Paris) with you.
Ta ta!

The fabric is beautiful!! I want to buy several yards for backgrounds, I love the subtle color of several of the prints. My second passion to quilting is cooking and I love to bake. The two names that keep popping in my head are: Cinnamon Swirls and Pecan Sandies. They may not be so “French”, but tasty and should work with the colorways.
Michelle | 7th Mar 09
How about something with crepes? Or creme caramel? Profiteroles? Clafoutis? Bûche de Noël? Bordeaux, Champagne, Aubergines. And some of my favorite places in Paris were the gardens: the Tuileries and especially Jardin du Luxembourg.
Julia | 7th Mar 09

Oh, such yummy desserts topping a gloriously beautiful fabric collection. I love the names used for all the precuts…all food related, all make me hungry (for food, fabric and sewing). Quilting and working with lovely fabrics (yes, I’m a fabric fondler, LOL) especially the precuts does a wonderful thing for me, it relaxes me and helps relieve some of the stresses of life. Having said that, I would have to suggest that very thing. Just one suggestion for me:
Decontracte … (Relaxation)
from teenietaters@msn.com

I don’t know what looks better – the fabric or those yummy pastries. I do know that the fabric is calorie- and fat-free! Patisserie puts me in mind of eclairs, croissants, macarons, tartes, and rosettes, so maybe they are some ideas for project names.
Yum!

Hi Joanna!!
Still waiting for my lqs to get their order of Patisserie in. They are hoping for the wonderful cuts to arrive anyday, then the yardage. (I’ll take anything at this point!!)
For names, I love the French/European connection you’ve had!! The colors are just yum, yum, yummy and instantly evoke a *creamy* feel. And it is reinforced when you feel the fabrics, too! How cool is that?
How about:
–Les Cremes et Fig (Figues)
–Le Coeur de Paris – The Heart of Paris/My Heart is in Paris
–Les Etoiles au Cremes – The Stars in Creams/
–Les Couvertures de Patisserie – The Patisserie Quilts
Looks like you’ve got lots of great choices so far!

Merengue

Audrey | 9th Mar 09
My French is non-existent. 🙂 But I just love the word Raspberry. What about Raspberries and Cream or something with the word Crepes?
What beautiful fabrics you have. Thank you for your giveaway.
Amy Robertson | 9th Mar 09
What delicious fabrics!! To me it screamed “luscious” and “indulgence” so my suggestion for the new projects would be Luscious Indulgence. You could break up the name to go with the color-ways. Like Chocolate indulgence or luscious lemon, or whatever.
Thank you for the contest! I hope I win these!!!
Pauline | 9th Mar 09
Beautiful colors – love the line! I took French for just about forever and I can’t think of a thing…. but then again, not sure there is anything left to mention =)!
Joanna | 9th Mar 09
So many ideas – it’s hard to come up with something different! My first thought was something to do with mousse, then I also thought the word chiffon would be lovely too. Good luck – you have many many wonderful choices here!!

Debbie Cameron | 9th Mar 09
Wow Joanna,
You must be dizzy with all the excitement surrounding this project. I only have a couple suggestions to throw into the mix, so forgive me for not reading them and possibly duplicating someone elses.
I found Mille-feuille (which is a Napoleon) and your colors would be just perfect for this;
also since your line is called Patisserie, how about Bon Appetit? I like that one the best. It will stick in everyone’s memory, I believe. So many choices–good luck.
Amanda | 9th Mar 09

Hi Joanna – I think I give this a try – first time for everything. Patisserie looks delicious. My suggestions is:
The Bossuet – is composed of a thin cake base supporting a heart of citrus crème brûlee hidden in a forest berries mousse, glazed with a raspberry coulis surrounded by thin white chocolate wafers, and topped with fresh field berries;French pastry at its finest!
Another one I quite like is Praline Riviera.
Can hardly wait until the new Fresh Vintage to arrive in the mail!

I feel so behind on all this activity and enjoyment. This is the first time I have ever commented. I read a sign in Zook’s, Lancaster Pa that paraphrased said…..
Nobody expect coin collectors to spend their coins, or stamp collectors to mail letters with their stamps….why does anyone expect that I make something with my fabric collection. My sister and I have been collecting charm packs from before they became popular. I just love touching them and looking at them, just plain enjoying them and the possibilities all those beautiful prints and colors and patterns inspire.
Donna Courtney | 10th Mar 09

Love the Patisserie range (and the French music) brings back memories of Paris.
I was thinking coulis would be good to use as the different ingredients could describe colors. Such as coulis d’avocat, coulis de fraises, coulis de tomates, coulis d’amandes.
Tina | 10th Mar 09
BEAUTIFUL Fabrics! Great Patterns! So much fun just anticipating the arrival of an order. Thanks for all your inspiration!

I love the new fabric line. It’s yummy it brings back memories of fresh baked caramel cinnamon rolls I watched my mother bake. She would take them out of the oven an pour fresh cream over the rolls with caramel oozing out of them. My suggestion is “Creme d’amande” or “Creme caramel”. Much success on your new line of fabric.

The cover alone is wonderful…it just makes you want to jump right into reading the book from cover to cover (which I did last night:))Today I’m going to peruse it more slowly. I love your entire fabric line and whenever I visit a quilt shop it’s always the line I ask for. But once I get some of that yummy fabric I just want to let it sit on my shelves because it’s too pretty to cut up…silly me!
Anyway, a suggestion for your next line…I read through some of the suggestions and they are all wonderful. Not sure if someone suggested this one:
Papillion ( butterfly). Lots of colors, gossamer wings, airy. Could be associated to fabric?! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Shelley | 10th Mar 09
I would go with something sweet – playing off the sweetness of the patisserie, but shifting into the sweetness of love… I’m thinking “little kisses” or “many kisses” – but translate to the most beautiful language on Earth… 😉
Thanks for offering such an amazing giveaway!
Denise | 10th Mar 09
What a gorgeous collection, for a name
Sweet Treat!
Alanna | 10th Mar 09

Carol Callahan | 10th Mar 09
As always I love your lines of fabric. The patterns, the colors are excellent! The delicate details of each is breathtaking.
So with that the name I offer is Saoirse…pronounced Seer-sha. It is actually Galic and means freedom. It is to be my granddaughters name(she is due any day)..and I think it is beautiful, just as she will be, and would be the perfect name for a new line.
Judy | 10th Mar 09
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of your new line to hit my quilt shop.
I like the name a la mode.
Julie Kato | 10th Mar 09
I was at Prairie Queen Saturday and saw the new fabric. I also saw Keiko Clark there, I should follow her and buy everything she buys. Maybe I will bake a Brioche today.
Jean Llewellyn | 10th Mar 09
There is only one word for the new Patisserie fabric collection – FABULEUX!
A few words to add to an already eclectic collection:
Artisan
Amelie rose
Tiramisu
Pistachio
Frangipane
Marquise au chocolat
Cassis
Joconde (Almond sponge)
Kirsch
Noisette
Regardless of the names, the mouthwatering colors and patterns will speak for themselves and turn every project into a truly luscious confection.
Deb Scheibel | 10th Mar 09
my ideas are:
at last
from my dreams
dusky nights
summer breeze
warm embraces
sumomuvino | 10th Mar 09
Yum. Please pick me!
en rougissant (blushing)
Bouchée (mouthfull)
Cassis (blackcurrant)
and for fun…le creme de je t’aime
okay, i’m ravenous (ravineux)
sugar | 10th Mar 09
Patisserie looks good enough to eat!
As far as the naming contest, how about:
Petit four
Boulangerie
or
Bises (pronounced ‘bees’ and means kisses)?
Lizzie Swinney | 10th Mar 09
NOt being French and not understandingthe language I find it easier to read and remember names like, Just deserts.
Diane Wilkinson | 10th Mar 09
Everyone has added so many great ideas I am out of creativity. However I suggest easy french words for those who do not speak French such as
1.eclair
2. framboise
3. galette
because they all evoke something very tasty!
Bev DeRoo | 10th Mar 09
Congratulations, you’ve done it again! Patisserie is absolutely scrumptious. I’m looking forward to creating something delicious with it. I just love to look at the fabric and dream!!! Thanks.
My suggestions for names are:
– Paris Sunrise
– Paris Sunset
– Totally Paris
– Patisserie Passion
Candace | 10th Mar 09
Fantastic fabrics! And the photos are wonderful!
How about “Cabaret” for a new fabric line?
Cheers!
Karen Kunz | 10th Mar 09
I also love this line!! Makes the designing juices flow! For names how about a new line of: My Cheri Amour! Definitely a must for babies or the little girl in all of us.
Can’t wait to see it!

Au revoir,
Annette
Damary Fletcher | 10th Mar 09
Well, I just started quilting a couple of years ago, am all crazy about your fabrics and every time I go back to Mexico I teach my cousins and friends on what is quilt since we don’t do that. I bring your fabrics and all the magazines where I see designs I like.
You were asking for a name for one of your lines. I think for about blue / gray colors a cool name for me will be:: SUEÑOS (dreams) or in tones of green it feels like ESPERANZA (hope)
Rebecca Brammell | 10th Mar 09
No longer claiming fluency, your contest has started my rusty brain whirring…in high school I had the opportunity to visit France on two different occasions as well as stay with a family in Belgium! First time was a school group, second I stayed with a French family and loved the name of their town – I am sure there are many towns that have great names but I always remembered this one:
*St-Pierre-Le-Moutier
Then there was Nice where I studied for a few weeks. Couldn’t get over those small rock beaches as opposed to sand…not very comfy! So perhaps a line called Nice and pieces in the collection with names such as:
*vagues
*sable
*le soleil
*cailloux
How about my favourite song at the time by Etienne Daho and some of the lines in the song, “Tombe Pour La France”
*la vie
*N’importe quoi
*Toute va bien
And random thoughts:
*one slice or two
*noix de cocoa
*noisette (hazelnut and tres yummy as Nutella)
*pomplemousse (love that word!)
*mignon (cute used to describe babies/toddlers)
*timide(I become this when I try to speak French!)
*names from a French classic novel
*names of herbs: basil, thyme, dill, oregano, rosemary
I’d better stop now! Probably won’t sleep tonite with all the words popping into my head!
Thanks for your great fabric lines and patterns, website, and friendliness!
Rebecca
Natalie | 10th Mar 09

silvana | 10th Mar 09

Ruth Bernardi | 10th Mar 09
I just love your new designs – as always!!
Suggestion: “Savoir-vivre” because it means style of living as well as being able to shape your life like a piece of art which could be our personal way to cope with a/the crises.
Jenny Reese | 10th Mar 09
I love the beautiful hues in your new fabrics!!With four young children I can’t sew fast enough! My one suggestion would be to go back to your peasant roots and pick up the “flavor” and colors of RATATOUILLE.

I bought Patisserie from an online retailer about a month ago, and absolutely love the color palette! This beautiful collection inspired me to make travel plans for Paris – I leave on March 25! The arrondisements, each with their own special boulangeries and patisseries, provoke the imagination -of cookies (madeleine), high tea at Laduree, caramel mousse, and of course, macaroons in every possible color! Bon Appetit, mon cherie!

Orchard Blooms
Indian Summer
Desert Rose
I’m not good at names, but I always love your fabric lines.
colleen sandbach | 10th Mar 09

Paula | 11th Mar 09
Patisserie looks very enticing and I would love to make something using it for some friends who have recently bought an old mill in France.
But to be constructive, can I persuade the designers to invent a successor to Urban Indigo? It must be my favourite fabirc line ever. The quilt I made from it excites me every time I look at it still (and I know what is wrong with my construction and quilting even iof others don’t).
So how about Chambray and Champagne?
Adventures in Distressed Denim?
Blue and better?
But please do return to a similar palette!
Gail Williams | 11th Mar 09
How about:
petit gâteau
Thanks,
Gail
tina | 11th Mar 09

Whatever the name, I know the end result will be remarkable!
Kristin Madden | 11th Mar 09
Hi Joanna,
Your new line is so fabulous! ‘Sugar Threads’ or ‘Warm Buttered Toast’ are my votes for your contest because your fabrics are so yummy, that I could just eat them up!! Why is it that your fabrics always bring me to thoughts of food…mmm?!!! ha! I’m working on a king sized quilt for our bed with a little bit from Urban Indigo, Dandelion Girl and Allspice Tapestry…and wouldn’t Patisserie be a great addition!! Oh and my other suggestion for a future pattern, etc…is ‘Beaches and Dream’ (or dreams if you will)…your fabrics are so soft, romantic and they always transport me to somewhere I want to go (like the beach)! Thanks for the beautiful fabrics, you are inspiring!
Kristin
Barbara K | 11th Mar 09
