Loved the free form embroidery on her blog! What a fun way to embroider by following the design in her fabrics–loulouthi has such great colors and embroidering it would make it pop!
OMG!! What didn’t catch my eye…. I loved the selection of fabrics, both prints and cooridinating solids in the Fabric Stacks. Not to mention the palette for the embroidery flosses… Anna Maria is so very talented and creative.. I am definately going to try out the embroidery pattern that you provided for us. It is such a beautiful pattern and would make a great accent on anything that you apply it too. I loved the video as well, and as usual you did a fantastic job.
Thanks again,
Ginger

What a great interview! Anna Marie is so talented!
There are so many things to love about Anna’s blog…the colors, the patterns, the fabrics. What I love most, are Anna’s words. When she speaks of her family, of her feelings, she writes in poetry. Lovely.
Thank goodness, someone is reviving hand embroidery. Although I love my embroidery machine, there is no substitute for the love that goes into hand work.
What a wonderful interview and what an amazing designer. I was so impressed with the cotton threads she used and the way she used them. Her daughters dress was so beautiful/ Thank you so much fo sharing. Gea job girls.
Great show, love all your ideas, that fabric is wonderful just makes you want to sew.
What a gret interview. I just love all the colors and patterns and everything that she does. What a talented and genuine person!

I have followed Anna Marie on her blog for a long time – love all of her fabrics. The pattern for the pom pom pillow is my favorite
Another great show. I love being able to see even a little part of Quilt Market. Sharon Pederson has been doing interviews at Quilt Market too that I watch on The Quilt Show. Wish I could go.
Now off to Anna’s Web site for more eye candy!
I love that there is a revival in embroidery added to quilts and pillows. Love it!
I downloaded the Folk Dance Quilt pattern on Anna’s blog along with the free stitchery pattern.
Anna Maria’s interview was terrific. She seems like such a warm, fun person. Her fabrics and ideas are just terrific. Loved her daughter’s dress. Can’t wait to see what she’s got on her site.

great crafts! loved the interview.
I just love Anna’s fabrics! The video was great. Thank you for the free pattern.
So I am back and I love her web site. Her blogs are full of ideas and pictures too. I am especially interested in quilting with pearl cotton. I like the loose look of the stitches as opposed to tiny tight quilting stitches I was taught. A whole new look and easier too.
wow! just checked out amh’s website and blog…..i could stay there all day! love her socialite dress pattern and the sidewalk satchel. and of course the embroidery threads–beautiful color palettes. i have bookmarked her site and blog!
Thanks for the peak into Anna Maria’s new fabric and the free pattern!

Visited Anna’s site, and I have to say COLORS is the thing I like! The colors are vibrant and gorgeous.
I have always loved hand embroidery. I teach children sewing and try to include a little through the course of the year. Loved Anna’s site especially the sewing tips. Looking forward to sewing the download. Thank you!
The colors are really wonderful and such a creative use of embroidery. I’m looking at fabric is a different way for my next few projects.
I love your tutorials. They are informative, fun and spark my creativity.
Thanks!
One of the best videos. The fabrics are great. All three of you give inspiration to lots of people.
What a wonderful line for summer. Great Bright colors and fun floral prints
Loved the interview; loved the colors; love you guys!
I loved the embroidery! I believe Anna’s creativity is inspirational and will spark creativity for my granddaughter to pick up the needle. I am going to show her what is possible. I love the way Anna has embroidered her prints and also hand quilted on white. Simply Stunning!
I have had anna’s site bookmarked for quite some time. I love the way she puts material together. I am always thinking…”why can’t I put material together like that???” I feel like when I do it looks like a circus tent rather than unique like Anna’s.
I have loved Anna Maria’s book Seams to Me ever since I saw it a couple years ago. Her fabric is so colorful and cheerful!
The colors and patterns are wonderful. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
what a great giveaway…hope I win!!
I love her Make section and not to forget those gorgeous fabrics she has..

Love your new fabric line and am excited about the many opportunities lamenated cotton will give.
Sincerely, Brenda Roland
I visited Anna Maria’s website, and I thought the cute little flannel birds were just darling! (I also noticed in the video you did at Quilt Market that her knees and legs had identical bruises! Understandable, since she probably spends a lot of time playing on the floor with the baby!)
Thanks for the video, and the chance to win!

I love the colors in Anne Maria’s work. Thanks for sharing the free pattern
http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com/2006/12/its-hoot.html Love this little owl. And the pincushion pattern is so much fun to make. i really enjoyed that.
The interview is great and love the fabric colors. You are all so young have accomplished so much, I’m in envy.
Checked out her website, it’s fabulous. I was caught up in the bright colors and wonderful ways of displaying her lines from the homepage. Her prices are so reasonable too. I love her use of the bright colors.
Thank you Anna Marie for sharing your beautiful work with Kim and kris to be on the “Dish”. The colors are so vibrant and lovely! I love the package of perl cotton that goes with your fabrics and I have a question. I’ve always used DMC floss and I’m wondering why you chose Anchor floss? Is it because of the color selection, or is Anchor especially good to work with?
So lovely! I cannot wait to get Anna Maria Horners kits, too! Beautiful pattern. Thank you for sharing!
I love her colorful fabrics! I printed out the Wild FLower Pincushion pattern from her website, and am
going to try making that today. I like the free patterns she has for us to download, plus her tips!

Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway and giving us the opportunity to enter.
Amazing fabric! I have to have some!!!!
I love watching your shows! What great colors in this segment. I love how she does the hand embroidery because quilting has never been one of my fortes.
I adore Anna’s work and have been following her blog for a long time!
I love all of her bright colors that give the impression of quilting without all the work. That is one of the reasons I have never done quilting….I will definitely be purchasing some of her fabric!
Loved the interview… seeing the fabrics and the person and ideas behind them…
The colors are amazing!
Such a beautiful fabric line and thank you for presenting this interview with Anna Maria Horne. Many thanks to Anna for the free design download…hand embroidery was my first craft as a child.
Love the rich colors and patterns in her fabric. I am intrigued with the laminated cotton…especially that it is much softer and pliable than what I’ve seen used for furniture upholstery fabric. I think it would be wonderful for children’s bibs, diaper bags, makeup bags, etc.
What is now called “hand embroidery” used to be “Crewel work”. I am excited to see it come back in an updated style.
WOW… just wonderful color, and “needlework”,,,, my 1st love… especially knit and crochet… but the outline stitching is brilliant… LOVE to watch you younger girls make this stuff sing!!!! Keep it up.. and Janome… is the best…. i’ve 2 of them….keep up the good work..
Went to Anna Maria’s blog and love her Little Folks materials. I really love all her patterns and use of color!
Went to the blog and store. Those are really bright colors, can see them in pillows the best.
Went to Anna Maria’s blog and love her Little Folks materials. I really love all her patterns and use of color! Love the scarves too!
I think its neat that you sell a bag of scraps. Sometimes you just need a little bit of something.
I would love to win this prize pack.
this is beautiful fabrics I love the soft flannels in lots of prints. and the emboidery work is amazing I will have to practice my stitching more to be close to that!!
I’m so happy to see Anna Maria with the two of you. She’s such a sweet lady and I love her BOLD fabrics. The colors are so rich. Can’t wait to get some of the latest florals.
Her new kits for embroidery are fun, too. Thanks for the free pattern and the opportunity!

Mandi@HandmadeCrush

Mandi@HandmadeCrush
I am going to be purchasing some of Anna’s beautiful pearl Cotton
I’ve been following Anna’s blog for years, but this is my first time here! Thanks for the great video and the entry!
I can’t wait for the embroidery goods from Anna Maria. I’ve been hand quilting her garden party quilt and this is perfect match!!!
I can think of so many fun projects to make with her new thread. Thanks for offering this fun giveaway.
Anna Maria Horner is truly the reason I finially began to sew. I had a machine for 3 years, never used it once, saw her Good Folks line, ordered it, and the rest is history!!!
I am working on appliqueing my first quilt — with her Little Folks — and would love these threads to do the hand qulting with!
Thanks, Ladies, for the chance to win — and thanks Anna for so much inspiration!!!

Thank you so much for the chance to win!
What a gorgeous collection; can’t wait to get it!
I have been drooling over the colors of thread she has been working with for weeks now and am so excited to hear that will be available to purchase. I love the glimpses into her everyday life, especially of her children crafting in the new “white room”.
What a great inspiration and so talented. Her fabrics are truly wonderful. Congratulations Anna
Loved to see this video: as much I as *know* AMH is from the US, somehow when I read her voice I never hear the accent (I’m from Scotland) so it is surreal but lovely to see her speak in person. Great little interview!
My favourite thing about her blog: any passage about the amazing team spirit her family have. They all seem to work together on everything, share love and hobbies and passions. I don’t have my own family yet but I sincerely hope we shall be as cohesive (and as hip!) as the AMH’s family are.
Thanks for sharing this great interview–love the large scale floral print in Loulouthi!
I love the baby zig-zap quilt featured in the “make” section of Anna Maria’s website. Was also excited to discover her kitchen towels–didn’t know she designed kitchen items.

I’m really into making bags and purses right now, so I think I must have the pattern for the Sidewalk Satchel! Lovely stuff!
Gak! There I was being all good and resisting the temptation to order yet MORE AMH fabric to my already extensive collection – but the embroidery package and the pillow (and moreso the POSSIBILITIES) – not to mention the forthcoming x-stitch” fabrics – well, I just fell off the wagon. Sign me up. Resistance is futile. But now… how will I ever sleep with all the IDEAS starting to bubble up from that interview?
Beautiful fabrics! Cant wait for the next episode. I will most definitely save the new Quilt shop “My Girlfriends Quilt Shop” web site to my favorites. One of my dreams as well. I wish you much success.

This is an old one – but my favorite thing on AMH’s website is baby Roman squealing with laughter at his dog.
Just love that Anna Maria Horner! She embodies so much of what I wish for in a balance of modern life while keeping alive womens handiwork traditions that need to be passed down for future generations! I’m already patiently waiting for those Loulouthi fabrics, now the embroidery threads to look forward to! Thank you for showcasing her – you all are awesome!
Wonderful giveaway!
I love Ann Maria!! I’ve been a blog follower and group of hers for a very very very long time. What inspires me most is her unusual use of colors that just pop right out. Not always for the faint of heart but I love her boldness and brave use of her palettes.
I love hand embroidery and would love to try Anna’s new pattern with that lovely floss!
Great interview! She’s so inspiring! I’m thinking of quilting my first quilt with her new Pearl cotton!
love her new line of fabrics!
Wonderful interview! The colors Anna uses are just beautiful! Can’t wait to try her new floss and cotton pearl’s.
I love Anna Maria and I visit her site regularly! Her fabric is so beautiful and her patterns inspiring. I am working on her Good Folks zig zag quilt and want to make her Multi-Tasker Tote for summer. Thanks for the giveaway
Great interview and love her fabrics and stitchery.
I’m SO LOVING her new sewins space!! WOW!! I loved the hand quilting with her new floss, I have got to try that!!
Fantastic interview! I especially love the pillows! It’s been a while since I have done embroidery, but this has sure inspired me to do it again! Looking forward to embroidery thread release!
Wow! What an awsome display of colors and designs! My Mom is so great at Embroidery I think this would make a great gift for her. I am hoping to learn from her, just as she learned from her mother! Thanks for offering such an amazing giveaway! I love it, love it, love it!
Thanks for the interview and pattern. I love Anna’s work.
what don’t I like at Anna’s website?! I’ve been a follower of her blog for a while, I love the things she shares about her work and fabrics, and the tutorials and patterns.
I checked out her website and I like the Meadow Receiving Blanket kit.
I’ve always wanted to learn how to embroider but now I think I have the inspiration I need. I’m going to get the blue palette and get to work!
Great Interview and site. Anna Maria’s work is amazing and so creative, this new embroidery line is so inspiring I wanted the thread the second I saw it!
I’m also a longtime reader of Anna’s blog and everything there is fun to read, her personality really shines through her writing. I especially love when she posts tips on how to create the free patterns that she has up there.
I just want to win!
I went to Anna Maria’s Blogsite. I love her new Loulouthi line of fabric! Going to order some today!
Love the embroidery pattern! Thanks!
At AMH’s site, I’m loving the make page! Also love the hand quilted pillow she had at Quilt Market. Gorgeous.
WOW = first time to “meet” Anna Marie and was just blown away by her website. I will be back frequently
nr 525 ?? here
absolutely adore this new needlework line by Anna Maria!
I love everything Anna Maria and am so excited about all her needlework items!!!!
So excited for AMH’s venture into needlework to go along with her fabric!
Her blouse with the embroidered yoke of quilting weight cotton and the rest of the garment in voile really caught my attention on her blog. Have fabric from every collection she’s come out with so far and can’t wait to get the latest!
Thanks for offering this giveaway! I haven’t been to your site before, but look forward to reading through it all now!
I love everything that Anna Maria Horner does. I’m working on a flirting the issue skirt right now!
The free styled quilted pillow caught my eye!
In fact it all really did and does every time I look at her fabric, patterns, and quality in her work one of my very FAVORITE things about that fantastic woman is THE TEXTURE you can almost feel in her fabrics. She involves so much color and texture in her designs and coming from a gal who LOVES texture…let’s just say I go nuts when I see her stuff!
Absolutely nuts!!!
I especially LOVE the pillow I mentioned above because of the dimension the hand quilting adds to the fabric. Which she showed some closer up pics on her blog. And the fact that the hand embroidery matches the design. It follows the shapes and flowers and that is too awesome-I love it!
I would LOVE if I could get my hands on some of these goodies!! It is crazy I have never hand embroidered yet…but have done every other crafty thing it feels. I can’t wait to try my hands at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much Kim and Kris for all you do-I love to visit your blog and see all the wonderful inspiration that is to be found here:)
Hugs!
;)

One of my favorite things on Anna’s blog are her many posts and pictures of her children enjoying creating as well. So inspiring!

From her website I love reading about what’s going on with her and her family on her blog. As a mom of young kids I feel like I can relate. Lots of inspiration from her ongoing projects, too – especially her recent quilted pillow cover.
I am enthralled so much to try so much to share with sister and now to try quilting with the two ply cotton thread. Her beautiful fabrics wonderful colors and incredible patterns! I could go on but I have to go back to class.

Love…love…love Anna Maria’s fabric!!!! Now the embroidery floss kits!!! I’ve died and gone to heaven.
Can’t wait to get started.
I love everything about Anna Maria. Her style, her creativeness, her vision and especially her personality. Everytime she comes out with a new line of fabric, that becomes my favorite. I enjoy handwork and to see her unique take on it is inspirational.
I love Anna Maria’s children’s clothes!

I love everything Anna Maria Horner does. I’m excited that she has a new needlework line. Thanks for the video and giveaway!
Checked out Anne Marie’s website and blog. Great collections – especially like the Chocolate Lollypop. Such flower power! Her blog had some great freebies too. Downloaded the pattern – will be nice to just sit and stitch in front of the TV. You girls just find the best for us. Thank you.
Love the pom pom pillow!! Can’t wait to make one and also try the perle cotton! Her blog is just FUN!
Such a nice interview. Makes me want to do some handquilting and a pillow would be a great start. Thanks
Great interview with Anna Maria Horner. I follow her blog and I’m a big fan. All her stuff is just so gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the new line of fabric! I would also like to try the new embroidery floss!
Great interview! It is very nice to see the fabric in action. I look forward to seeing more from Janome and Anna Maria Horner. I love Janome, too.
I think I am liking the Isabella palette the most, and I think I must have some perle cottons. Thanks for the chance to win some Anna Maria Horner goodness.
Wow! I love the way AMH works with color. Her blog is chock full of color inspiration for me. I would love to work with her threads in color palettes chosen by her.
It was great to actually hear Anna Maria Horner after years of reading her blog. Your interview was great and really helped put a voice to the face!
I am an AMH follower. I like the free-style pillow and would love to try it with her thread.
anna maria is my mentor! she is the reason i got back into sewing, and i am so excited for the new collection and now the needlework! everything she does is so vibrant and alive! so happy! yay!
So excited for Anna Maria’s new announcement! Can’t wait for LouLouthi!
Anna Maria and her vibrant fabric (which I hadn’t seen anything like before) is the reason I started quilting four years ago. I’ve long loved embroidery so I’m very excited for her new patterns and floss/thread–noone combines color like her!
Great video!
How beautiful!
This would be wonderful to win, as I am addicted to using perle cotton for hand quilting thanks to AMH
My current fav project on her site (also love the blog), is the Flirting the Issue skirt, which I love and have already made 2 of for the spring
I’ve never tried pearl cotton but would love to. Beautiful colors and the fabrics are wonderful!
The Innocent Crush patchwork pillows are so cute! The interview was great–thanks to you all for the giveaway!
Have always enjoyed and been inspired by Anna Marie Horner. Thanks for the free pattern.
I LOVE Anna Maria! Although when I saw her video I was positive that was one of her daughters, not her, doing the instructing! Oh, if only I looked so young! But I LOVE her fabrics, especially the Loulouthi collection. They are beautiful and inspiring just themselves. I want to make a dress or top and skirt from Clippings in Passion and Summer Totem in Grapefruit with some Curated Bloom in Patina thrown in for good measure. I simply love this new collection and wish there was some velveteen in here like the Innocent Crush collection has!
And now she has embroidery cottons. I am SO tempted. But not talented. But now I might have to try. Thank you Anna Maria, for inspiring us.
I have loved following Anna Maria, working with her fabrics, and am so excited to see her new collection and needlework line!
Anna Maria has been one of my favorite reads for years. I love her light, color, and thrill in her family and her fabrics? I was in love with her Bohemian line forever, even after it was sold out everywhere. Her palettes are beautiful in her new collection – as always.
Love the new fabric line!
What caught my eye on her site? You’re kidding, right? Everything! I have been drooling over both of her sewing books hoping to sew and create as she does. I also love her Folk Dance Quilt design…if only quilting didn’t scare the bejeebers out of me…
I love the scale difference between the quilting cottons and voiles. And as a florist I can’t go past the all those giant garden roses and te colour.
I love AMH’s style. Everything she designs is gorgeous. I have been drooling over that flower on her blog for weeks. I’m so excited that she is sharing the pattern. Thanks so much!!! Can’t wait for Loulouthi to come out. She got me hooked on Voile with the Little Folks line, so I’m looking forward to more!
Anna Maria is so inspiring! How does she do it all? I would love to use those beautiful threads in my own creations.
I’m excited to see the loulouthi laminated cottons! I see lunch bags in my future!
Lovely new line from AMH. Really liked her how to on hand quilting.
Love whatever Ana María makes, deigns, sews, she’s great!
What caught my eye in her site? The beautiful pillow she embroideres following the design printed. Amazing!
Ooooh. I’ve been wondering how she made the embroidery on her blog banner for a while now. So fun to have the pattern fro myself now
I’ve never visited the diydish before but I’ll be back for more I am sure!
Lauren
Years ago I used to do lots of embroidery and I’ve been thinking of getting back into it. Would love to try
AMH’s new line. Been following her blog for awhile now and love it.
What a wonderful video! Such delightful fabric and terrific ideas!
Anna Marie is the WOMAN! How does she do it all?! Tons of coffee and chocolate?
I love her skirts! As soon as school is out for this over-worked teacher, I plan to spend my summer sewing her many amazing designs.
I had never heard of Anna Marie Horner until today. WOW! I love here fabrics. Thank you so much for bringing new and fresh ideas to those of us that don’t live in bigger cities.
I love AMH’s use of color – always so bright and rich! I love the Folksy Flannels on her web site and it’s great to see her moving into new textiles!
I have been reading Anna Maria Horner’s blog for a while now and I am always drawn by all the colour, freshness and simplicity of her designs and ideas. Very inspiring!
I found your website and am excited about visiting more often. I have been a fan of anna Maria’s for ahile now. When my husband sees her site on the screen he says “Stop tempting my wife!” It doesn’t work. I really like the Loulouthi pillow with the white background and can imagine it in my little girl’s room, and I could certainly play around with some of the new floss in quilting for my soon to arive baby girl.
Thanks for the interview, I look forward to visiting more,
Jennifer
AMH is an icon to all crafty moms!!
Loved the interview. Anna Maria is such a “real” person that it is hard not to like her! Throw in all of her beautiful creativity and fabrics and WOW!!! Thanks for the chance to win and get to know Anna Maria a little more!
I love the website, love the colors, fabrics, everything. The make section is wonderful also. I’d be such a happy camper to win. I have always loved embroidery and her colors are beautiful.
Wow Love this episode! I need to try my hand at embroidery.
I’ve been following Anna’s blog for a long time now, and it never gets old. Her ideas are refreshing and she’s a wonderful member of the creative community. Thanks for your great interview.
I love her colors, and prints, and it is not the same old same old. She always has things that are different, and new.
sorry…got caught up on Anna Maria’s blog and MAKE page!! LOVE HER! Any way, I guess what caught my eye most, besides all of the lovely colors and fabrics, is her new loulouthi laminate line…oh the things that could be made!! Thanks again!
Great interview! The fabrics are gorgeous and I can’t wait to try out her embroidery ideas. Anna Maria is fantastic!
I love decorating clothes and the decorated yoke on her daughters dress is so beautiful. I love Anna’s new line of fabric. Her fabrics are so cheerful. thanks
What interesting patterns and colors in the fabric and ways to use the fabric to embroder on.
Thanks so much for the interview.
I love Anna Marie! So excited to see this new line and all the fun ways to embelish it! I love that she has put a thread package together! So excited for the fabric to come!
Oh what a wonderful interview, as a die-hard AMH fan Thank you!
I just discovered your site through Anna’s blog and I will now be a new follower
Loved the interview!
Thanks for the chance to win.
So I check AMH’s blog all the time, and I absolutely love perusing her flickr photo pools looking at all the beautiful things people out there are making with her fabrics. However my next project will surely be that quilted pillow. Love that!
I love the new fabrics Anna Maria has on her site and I will definitely be getting one of the Loulouthi laminates to make her rain coat.
Thanks again for the chance to win!
I love bright colors and therefore love the fabric! I haven’t done hand stitching in years, since my kids were little. Now that I’m retired and my kids are grown, I’m ready to get back into it.
Love the fabrics. Fun to “meet” the designer.
I love AMH’s style and use of such big, vibrant color! It will so so nice to work with not only her fabrics but her color choices for embroidery! Cant wait for those to be available.
From her blog I love that she gets her children involved. The pic of her children sewing is priceless.
I love Ana’s blog & all her fabric line it is just A M A Z I N G !!!!!
I can’t wait for the latest line to release to the public
Great interview, the pillows and fabric are gorgeous!
Woohoo! What a fabulous prize!
I’ve just recently taken delivery of the whole Innocent Crush line, and I would love to use it to make the Gathering Flowers quilt on AM’s blog.
What didn’t catch my eye?? Great interview with Maria and all the bright beautiful fabrics. I did like the thread collections, especially the blues.
LOVE this new line from anna maria. what a great giveaway!
Sorry…I meant Anna Maria! My daughter is Maria and that stuck in my mind
The websight and blog were wonderful…just spent 2 hours at least looking about. Thank You!
her hand quilted pillow on solid white has enspired me to make a pillow for my little ones new big boy room!
can’t wait to visit her site and see all these great ideas people are posting about!
love her patterns!!
Just getting into embroidery. This is fantastic!
Hi there
Thanks so for the opportunity to win.
Beautiful beautiful and amazing things. Love the fabric
you guys are so fun
Cheers
Catie
That drawing room fabric on her site is fabulous. I could definitely use about a million yards of it.
Wow do I feel like a slacker. Six children and a quilt and fabric designer, that is amazing. I’m very excited about the needlework collection.
Although I love all of her fabrics and designs on her webpage, the thing I love (and covet) most is her attic studio. Speaking as one who as to bring out the machine everytime she wants to sew on the kitchen table, I am amazingly jealous of that space.
I love AMH’s fabric and the MAKE section is wonderful. As an embroider, I am totally looking forward to checking out her new threads!
O gosh, Anna Maria is my favorite fabric designer and it was such a treat to actually see and hear her talk about her work! I do a lot of my own embroidery so this would definitely be cherished and well-used if I won! Thank you for the opportunity!
LoVe this international giveaway, Thanks Kim, Kris and Anna Maria.
What is there NOT to love about her website? Such inspiring projects but I would have to say my favorite is is her lovely photos and the MAKE page!
Thank you for sharing this! I recently started quilting and would love to try my hand at embroidery as well!!
Loved the variety of patterns and kits on her web site, especially the pillows. Can’t wait for her new line to come out – have been searching for fabric with brown, turquoisey blue and new raspberry all incorporated in urban design. They look great!
I’ve been loving the banner on Anna Maria’s blog for the past couple of weeks, so you can imagine how excited I am to see that there is a pattern for embroidering a charming little flower of my own!
Thanks DIY Dish!!! I love reading Anna’s blog,, it is great!
I love Anna Marie’s new fabric. Cant wait to find it in retail stores, it has so many possibilities.
Gorgeous!
Just found this (very fun!) interview through Rachel’s Stitched in Color blog, and I’m so delighted! I’ll be adding you to my google reader and waiting impatiently for some of your new friend Anna’s
printed cross stitch fabric to surface!
Wow, nice handwork and fabric!
I love her flower patchwork pillows! She is very talented! Susan
Loved the interview. Visited Anna Maria’s blog and I loved the hand quilted pillow. Thanks Kim and Kris for the DIY dish.
I wish I had better access to Anna’s stuff. Up in Canada, it’s a lot harder to find, and shipping from elsewhere can be quite costly. I would love the new embroidery kits, I’ve been slowly teaching my girls how to embroider and stitch for the past few years. My fav. thing on her website is the “free” section…how can you not love that??
I have been a fan of Anna for so long. Her figure 8 scarf in Innocent Crush Voile is on my mind right now.
Incredible- I’ll be sewing away for months with all this inspiration. Must make that quilted pillow on the AMH blog:)
I LOVED the interview and love knowing that Anna Maria Horner is teaming up with Janome. I think she is truly an inspirational person. I love how she continues to provide wonderful fabric and patterns that are fun for all to make. She has done great things for the sewistas in this world!
Her colors outshine the normal embroidery colors – so alive – love it
I have been a huge fan of hers for years. I always love the quilts she does and she has me inspired to try hand embroidery…and now she makes it easy!
I actually just came from Anna’s blog to watch this video. I think my favorite thing about AMH is the COLOR! She has amazing color combinations that I would have never thought of! And I’m pretty sure the embroidered flower that is currently the banner for her blog (that I have admired for a while now) also comes from the new free pattern!
I just love the colors of that embroidery floss! I just got information to sign up at a local fabric shop for an embroidery class. What great timing!
Sounds like you had lots of fun. Thanks for the update.
I am so glad to see hand stitching is coming back! And Anna Maria’s colors and designs are fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing your interview.
Thanks gals, I just love your show!
Loved your interview! Drooling at all the fabrics and threads!
I love the Love Letters quilt kit. But then again, I love everything on her site!
Good interview! I love Anna Maria’s fabrics.
I like the Make section of the AMH website. There is a tutorial there on hand stitching that caught my eye. I also like her pattern for the multi-tasker tote.
What a lovely interview, so inspirational, Thankyou
i love anna maria! i am a huge fan of her fabrics and am so excited about the new needleworks. if i don’t win i will for surely buy a pack or two. i am not so great about picking out colors, and that is why i love her coordinated lines. so neat to see her interviewed!
I guess my dogs will be the best dressed with her tutorial for the dog leashes, so cool
love the new embroidery floss!! i am also part greek and was taught all kinds of hand work from the women in my family, and i try to share and teach the girls that weren’t as lucky! can’t wait to try out the pattern!
I love the samples of the quilted pillows with embroidery stitches on the printed flowers. Very pretty! I would love to win the floss/thread collection!! Her free pattern of embroidered flowers is awesome – would like to try embellishing one of the purses I make with those!!
Very cool interview and very beautiful fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’ve read her blog for a while…what I like? How she writes. The style of it. I love the interesting way she chooses to be a quilter…novel things to do with her and others fabrics all the time.
I wish I could go to Quilt Market! I love Anna’s patterns and pattern kits! She has such a great eye for color!
Thanks for sharing your interview with Anna. What I loved about her website is first of all the home page. Very unique! Anna also has some wonderful patterns that are very unique like the dress and skirt patterns. It’s great to see the talent out there, so thanks Kris and Kim for getting out there and sharing the information with us!
Wow! Love love love all the new fabric – can’t wait for the new dress pattern either.
I am absolutely smitten with this new line! And that Anna Maria is encouraging embroidery with all the swirls and flowers is so cool. I do lots and lots of needlepoint and am excited to change up to a different handwork for a while.
Thanks for highlighting Anna Maria! I love her colors & designs…
I love Anna Maria’s fabrics. I have made one of her receiving blankets, a scarf and have several of her patterns. Yummy , soft, colorful fabrics. Thank you Anna Maria
Love, Love, Love Anna Maria’s fabrics… I was inspired by her embroidery style to make a dress for my daughter’s communion. Can’t wait to check out the new patterns. Great Interview!
Love this line, the colors are sooooo beautiful. Looking forward to dress patterns too!!!!!
Great video! So glad you were able to make it!
Oh, for the colors. I could just swim in them!
I am especially intrigued by Anna’s ‘Bohemian’ line – WOW!
I love the embroidery pattern. I am excited to see how it will evolve in my quilting. Than you.
Awesome interview! Thanks for bringing market to us!
Loving the Sunny Spectrum Solid Stack!
Her fabric looks beautiful. I’ll be looking for her designs next time I’m fabric shopping.
I love the new fabrics. I like the fact that some of the new fabrics are more contempary so I can make a more modern quilt instead of the traditional ones that my Mom used to make.
I’m loving all the action & color in these new prints. They are so easily mixed in with the plain janes I usually go for~very exciting to see so many variations of fabric in the new line, too!
Oh how beautiful, those fabrics are terrific, I love the colors of the pearl cotton, perfect for all my stitching. Maria Elena Blecha
Loved her fabrics and the idea of quilting around some of her designs with the pearl cotton is great!!
AWESOME!!!!
The colors are amazing! I’d love to receive the prize, thanks for the chance to win.
The colors are absolutely gorgeous!! I would love to win this, my favorite thing to do is cross-stitch an other needle work. It would be so much fun to use these new products!!!
Each collection just gets better! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Loulouthi line…
Whoops! Sorry for the email typo, this is correct.
So excited Anna Marie is offering embroidery floss!
I have always been a fan of super bright and pattern mixing much to my mothers dismay. “Never put pink and red together, blue and green don’t match; don’t mix plaids and stripes,” I was always told. I love to see stuff like Anna Maria Horners, Thanks for a great interview.
Anna Maria never disappoints, her new line of fabric and needlework goods is to die for!! She is everyone’s fave designer for a reason
Can’t wait to get my hands on all that new stuff, it is gorgeous!!
Thanks for the great interview! I don’t have to look at Mrs. Horners blog, I follow it religeously. She is fabulous, I became obsessed when I met her at quilt market last year! I love her hand quilting!
love the fresh ideas on this blog.
Thank you so much for the awesome embroidery pattern and the wonderful interview with Anna Maria…such inspiration!
Love the beautiful fabrics and needlework!
love love love purl cotton…would love to try anna maria horner’s delish colors…amazing…as usual !
Sew enjoyed this peek at the fabrics and thanks for pattern…
Love the paletts of the perl cotton, which I’ve had a hard time finding locally.
Wow! enjoyed your interview- always love seeing more of Anna Maria Horner’s fabric, patterns and now threads.
Wow, I just saw that the date and time of my post- and it is only 10:15 pm on the 27th here!
very excited about this giveaway!
i’ve had my eye on many of am’s fabrics and patterns for awhile! i love the sundance and moondance collections! and i love the study hall skirt! among many, many other things… in fact, i don’t think am makes anything that i don’t love!
What didn’t catch me eye? To a pick just one is tough but at the needlework fabric probably stood out the most for me…so forward and modern yet Classic design all in one bundle! I can’t wait until July to get my hands on some of that!!
I love Anna Marie’s vibrant colors. I get me daily dose of inspiration from her blog. Loved the viedo.
love the pattern – thank you!
Just checked out Anna’s website, and the “studio scraps” bags are such a great idea! I also try to use every little bit of fabric!
I love the palettes! The pearl cotton looks gorgeous. Also, I’m so glad Ana Maria linked to you — this is my first time here, but I’ll be back!
Love love the embroidery floss and the embroidery flowers. Looking forward to all of her products!
I love all of Anna’s fabrics and patterns. I’ve done several projects with her drawing room line and I love the quality and richness of her fabric and designs. I didn’t know she was greek! Maybe that is why I’m drawn to her fabric! I check her site frequently and can’t wait for her new Loulouthi line!
I would love to win these great threads! I’m just teaching my self Crewel embroidery and the colors are amazing!
Anna Maria is an inspiration to me. I started following her blog when she had the chocolate lollipop line out. I am excited about her new line of embroidery and her new relationship with Janome. I have a Janome that has been unused for about 2 years because of sad things going on in my life. I am hoping to get some of Anna Maria’s new fabric and start using my sewing machine again.
Awesome site
I too am a big fan of the lovely Anna Marie Horner! such beautiful patterns, fabrics and COLORS!!
I love Anna Maria’s patterns and her creativity!
I love Anna Maria Horner, she’s one of the first blogs I found and started reading and reunited my passion for making (and finishing). I usually find myself staring longingly at the fabric bundles in her shop, so I’ll pick the Innocent Crush voile in the Train Case Packed stack for what caught my eye today.
Love all the wonderful colors. Thanks Anna Maria for sharing you pattern with all of us.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the laminate prints from the Loulouthi collection! I love the bib that she made for Roman!
I love Anna Maria! I am really excited about her needleworks collection. Her laminates are amazing to sew on and I can’t say enough about her beautiful designs. Thank you for the exciting interview!
The threads sound wonderful – would love to give them a try.
I can hardly wait for the Painted Portrait Blouse and Dress – lovely way to showcase the fabrics… gotta go look around some more – so much inspiration!
Loved your interview with ann marie horner and love, love, love her fabrics and inspiration. My friend Tammy, a truly creative gal, and always ooh and ahh over every project and idea!
LOVE it all! AMH has sooo inspired & encouraged me into hand quilting. What a gift she is! Thanks, ladies, for the interview.
Finally! some wonderful threads to match the beautiful fabric! hope you are happy to mail them internationally!
I LOVE all of her things and she is quite an inspiration with six children and still so creative!
I adore Anna Maria! I have Seams to Me and love all the project in there and her fabric line, the colors all sing to me. I am very excited to for the new needlework line.
I am glad she linked to you, it’s my 1st time on the site!
Hello Everyone
,
While I was watching this interview with my daughters, I LOVED the beautiful pillows!!!!
Each one is an art. We were thinking of all the possibilities to refresh our old sofa’s look by sewing a few new pillow. It gave us an inspiration and this is a fact.
Thank you all and happy stitching!

Thanks for the great interview – I have been a fan of Anna Marie’s for a long time. Glad to be a new to your site fan.
I enjoyed the interview. I love all the bright colors.
Exquisite palette! I would love to dig my fingers into this lovely embroidery thread!
I am a hand embroidery maniac, and I have even taught classes. I love the first page of Anna Maria Horner’s website where she shows one of her fabrics that focuses on a beautiful butterfly and then mirrors that half with an exact replica in embroidery. It is so beautiful, and I think it would make a REALLY quick and fantastic Christmas present when framed in an inexpensive frame possibly even ready to finish painted in one of her fabulous signature colors.
