Cherry Christmas!!!!!!!

Fancy a closer look at my new line Cherry Christmas???  Well here we go :)

This one is my first holiday line for Moda, more than Chrismas itself this line celebrates the run up to the big day and all the anticipation that it brings.  I don't know about you but in my house this is when plain old boring t-shirts are replaced by Santa ones, the socks start getting stripy, my mugs, tea towels and oven gloves are all replaced with special holiday ones I only use at this time of the year.  We also have Christmas books and Christmas domino's and Christmas anything else that any designer has ever dreamed up in the holiday part of their imagination.

The road to this collection has been a long and windy one that began almost three years ago here and here.  For this line, those original sketches have been tweaked and tweaked until I got exactly the colourful, fun and modern look at Christmas througn the medium of fabric I was after.

But enough talk, here are the pics!

So what do you think????  I would love love love to know!!!!!  Will you be shopping for a few cherries this Christmas!!!  (remember not long to go now because it's out in July :))))))

It has a fabulous vintage feel to it- in both colour and design! And as cherries are in season in Australia at Christmas, this is perfect!

[Mary Jo]

The Best!!! Really really cute. I love the colors and the 'vintage look' of it. Very inspiring for projects. Congratulations!! I have to finish my Little Apples quilt before I can think about more fabric. I'll post a picture when its done.

[Allison]

Hi Aneela. The new line is so cheerful and I love your color selections, the greens and the blues. I especially like your background prints. Adorable. Looking forward to seeing it in person!

[Bethany]

Oh my is that the sweetest, or what!!!!! I love Christmassy prints just like these--it's much more about the 'feeling' of the season than the typical holly and pine trees a lot of fabrics seem to be (which is fine, but I love different :)

[angela]

I really like it; it's happy without being corny. My favorite is the green, very retro. I'll be buying some for sure.

[Ute]

Ah! Christmas in July! I love it! Oh dear, there went my mid-year's resolution to cut back on buying more fabric!

[Anita]

I love it.

[Andrea]

Love! These are just beautiful. They are uniquely you and I will definitely be getting some.

[Kerry]

I have struggled to find Christmas fabric that I like in the past too. this hits just the right note- lots of little detail and great mixers- Love it!

[Margaret]

Now that is some Christmas fabric I can sink my scissors into. Love the little birds on the green.

[Sandra Davidson]

Well I for one love,love,love it is cute but not as someone else said corny. I hope it is coming to a store soon so I can buy it.

[Rebecca]

Love it!! A few years back, before you were an official designer with Moda, you made some spoonflower Christmas fabric. Well I bought a FQ from you, and I STILL have that, I feel like a groupie that loved you before you made it big time:-) So glad you are doing well!!

[Katie B.]

Really adorable. I love that lots of the prints are not specifically Christmas and could be worked into lots of quilts!

[Ali hughes]

PERFECT. Really, just perfect! I've been collecting sherbet pips and a walk in the woods for a baby girl quilt and I just love every little piece I pick up. This line is no exception! I love how well they all go together. You are so talented!

[in]

oh yeah! i love it! i filled out the 'tell when it arrives' form on fatquartershop.com ;p

so cute and so fun!

[Hildy]

I love it, especially because it isn't a classic christmas collection! Hildy

[holly]

This is so adorable! I love the Christmas sweaters on the clotheslines, the holly berries (I am named after them after all) and those cute little birds! Can't wait to get my hands on this line, great job Aneela :)

[Archie the wonder dog]

Fabulous! I'll definitely be looking for a few FQs of it (or maybe a charm pack) as I'm planning to make a Christmas Cherry Star this summer and I think your beautiful fabric will work perfectly with the fabrics I've been collecting!! I predict it will fly off the shelves!!

P.S. I love the embroidered robins!

[Dani]

So adorable! Time to finally make a Christmas quilt, and maybe some placemats!

[ga447]

You done good...can't wait to buy the fabric. I am very fussy about Christmas fabric, you got a winner.

[Betty Ayers]

Me thinks you have a winner here - how delightful! I, too, am pretty picky about Christmas fabrics and I will buy this in a NY minute! Congrats.

[rachal m]

[charlotte]

I like it because it's so cute and old fashioned looking. I think I might have to get some.

[Ashley]

I've had my eye on this since I saw it in the Fat Quarter Shop coming soon section. I love it! It's modern and vintage and awesome! Great job!!

[Kelly Rodgers]

Yes yes yes. It's so precious. Love it!

[Lara Motta]

Oh this line is so precious. I usually cringe at Christmas fabrics, but somehow you manage to make them sweet, rather than tacky. I think this may be the first Christmas line ever to hit my wishlist! Just gorgeous.

[Kristy]

A.DOR.A.BLE you are so very talented and we are thankful.

[Emily]

Realllllllly love this!!!!!

[Claire Griffin]

I love it! I could Christmas craft all year!

[Ali]

Love it Aneela. I have bits & pieces of all your fabric lines, and I cannot wait to get my paws on this line too. I'm already planning a new Christmas quilt, cushion covers, table runner, and matching pj legs for me and my little girl (and probably some stuffed tree baubles too!). To get all that done by crimbo I will need to get cracking in july!!

[Jolana]

So lovely fabrics! :-) Jolana

[pam]

Totally darling!

[cradke]

Wow, I love it! I've been loving for some cute Christmas fabric this year to do some holiday projects. I really haven't found anything that I love, but this is fabulous!

[Julie]

I think this is adorable. I have pre-ordered a FQ bundle months ago. I do hope it arrives soon. And I hate Xmas. Just way too hot at that time of the year here in Australia. But with crafty goodness made with this fabric all through the house, I surely will learn to love Xmas.

[robin]

Sign me up! I havehavehave to have some of this cherry christmas! love it!

[Sherry Keith]

Now to track down your line in my neck of the woods! Cheery Cherry!

[Rhonda Reed]

It would be impossible to pass this up in any fabric shop - I would buy it with my weekly grocery money and starve!! haha

It is absolutely adorable!!

[Aletta]

Aneela, I love this line! Especially the bird with the cherries and the clothes line on Christmas trees! You made an adorable line again, you did a great job!

[Francine T from Nottingham]

LOVE it! I love it! I really really love it! It's so whimsical and awesome! I can't wait to buy some :-)

[Sharon]

Absolutely gorgeous!! I LOVE this line - and I am not always a fan of Christmas collections. It's bright, colourful and whimsical and just looks inspiring... What to create when this makes its way into my home...

[Sarah]

Oh, I just love the colors and your design is just perfect without being too in your face festive, I love the little clothesline, too precious!

[Teresa Block]

I simply adore this new line of yours, it is so appealing. Reminiscent of Christmas as a child.... I can hardly wait to get my hands on this fabric!

[Kara]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE this!!! :)

[Bobbi D]

I just found you through In Color Order and this fabric is adorable! Will it be available to preorder??? I just love it and can't wait to make my daughter a Christmas quilt for their new house!

[M]

Aneela, it's a wonderful collection! Good job!:)

[Pam]

I just finished up a chevron baby quilt with your sweet Cherry Christmas! It will be a new baby's first Christmas gift (he's not even born yet) at the shower for his parents this Sunday! I used the free pattern from Generation Q Magazine. I backed it in gray and white polka dot flannel. I love the little book and the snow globe and the little bird and cherries. So precious! Thank you, Aneela! I blogged about it today :)
