Fall Quilt Market 2009: Kiyohara & Co. Ltd. (And Giveaway)
Kiyohara is the Osaka-based manufacturer responsible for the brands Puti de Pome, Me-In Beby, Ecrulat, and others, and they also produce Sanrio character fabrics. Here are their new offerings. I’m also giving away a half-yard pack of the “My Favorite” collection … details at the bottom of the post!
Puti de Pome – note that the trucks and cars are border prints. Sweet dogs!
Puti de Pome – neighborhood. I’m a sucker for mappy prints.
Me-in Beby collection
Boku To Watashi display
I wanted to climb into these Boku To Watashi fabrics and live there. The pictures show the different top and bottom borders.
Another border print, from the Kiyohara Home Textile line.
Kiyohara Home Textile dot fabric and ribbon
A patchwork/cheater print
Simple, pretty diamonds on a linen/cotton blend
Even more photos from the Kiyohara & Co. booth on Flickr.
I brought home a half-yard bundle of a line called “My Favorite” for you! It’s 10 half-yard cuts of heavier-weight cotton that would make great baby or children’s clothes, quilts, or accessories. The hearts, strawberries, apples, and cherries look like they’re drawn with colored pencil or crayon.
I’m going to up the ante for this giveaway, if you don’t mind! To enter, link to True Up (your favorite post, perhaps?) on Twitter, Facebook, or your blog, or just promise to tell someone who you think might enjoy daily fabric news and inspiration about us via the medium of your choice. This is the honor system here — just remember to come back and leave a comment to let me know you did it! This giveaway is open worldwide. A winner will be drawn next Wednesday, October 28, 2009, around 9am Central U.S. time. Thanks so much for playing!

I wrote a bit about True Up in my post this afternoon.
I am Mrs Boring and don’t twitter, or Facebook or blog. I do *read* a lot of blogs – does that count?
I will tell my sister about True Up though, she is a fabric-a-holic too and I have introduced her to the joys of fabric shopping (and browsing) online.
I’m meeting with my craft group tonight. I’ll do a big loud shout out then mail it in the followup email with the link!
I just love these prints!
I have sent the link to this site to my entire quilting bee – the Piecemakers in the Atlanta area.
I told my mom and my sis – with this posting. I LOVE these “border” prints! Too cute!
I love this website! I’ve emailed the link to 5 great friends who love fabric almost as much as I do!

My daily first-stop on the web–my favorite website. I’ve shared the link with several quilting family members. Thanks for the giveaway!
Ok, I am totally entering for this one! I have had you linked through my blog for ages. True-up is my must read everyday blog. You get the best scoop on fabric. I would be lost without you;o)
Ooh, I love those fabrics! Love love love! Maybe it would get me to try making some clothes for my daughter for the first time.

I think your site is guilty of influencing my dreams. Last night, I dreamt that I was at the Fall Quilt Market, buying everything I wanted. It was a great dream! I wrote about it on my blog. My mom is my blog audience, so she will understand my dream and get a kick out of it. She raised me to love fabric!
I did link back to your site. Thanks for sharing your love of fabric. Your site and Flickr group are both awesome!
Lovely fabrics! The ‘neighborhood’ print would make a nice skirt me thinks. And I love the girl version of the “Boku to watashi” border prints!
Thank you for getting such a cute pack of prints for us! ^^ I’d love to enter the giveaway. You’re already part of the links in my blog. And I was planning to write a post to describe your website, so you’re giving me one more reason to do it! ^^ I might post something on Facebook too.
