By now you've heard of the new Denyse Schmidt line at JoAnn's. The blogs and Flickr are positively atwitter over this new fabric. (There's even a Flickr group devoted to it.) And, because I've never come across a bandwagon I didn't jump on, I high-tailed it to JoAnn's after dinner to find some for myself.
My store had all 21 prints, but I showed a tiny bit of restraint and only got a half yard of the ones I *needed.* (The quality is nicer than most of the fabrics you'd find at JoAnn's.)
On to the giveaway part of this post! I'm going to cut these into fat quarters and give one lucky winner a FQ bundle of the 11 prints you see here.
So...if you'd like a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post (international entries are welcome). Just make sure I have a way to reach you if you're the winner. I'll pick the winner on Monday using Random.org.
Thanks for reading my blog!

Whoa-ee! Awesome! Congrats on *almost* hitting 200! So nice to be in a bee with you!
I love your blog -- congrats on almost 200 followers! I want that DS fabric so badly...I'm in Canada and we don't have Joanne's here so I'm hoping that it will come to one of the chain fabric stores that we do have.
Yippee! I'm on a "fabric diet" and winning is the only way I increase my stash. If I win, and I hope I do, I'll be out of town until May 2, so don't think I'm disinterested.
oh my!!! i'm also on a fabric diet, and would LOVE to win this. though if i don't, i may just have to break my diet and run to the nearest joann's!
OH more fabric to try and win......thanks for hosting a soon to be 200 followers giveaway!
ME ME ME!! I love these colors and JoAnne's is too far away. Plus I have been kindly informed that fabric purchases for the near future need to halt. So please pretty please let me win! :)
Thanks for the chance!
So pretty! I made the trek to a supper JoAnn today with a friend, they didn't have any of the Denise Schmidt fabric...
I want to see this fabric - can't believe all the hype about it already. So nice to see DS returning to brighter colors.
Wow! Really? You are sharing your pretties! Thanks for a chance at them!
oh, they are lovely! how generous of you! thanks for the chance!
Yay! So sweet of you! I haven't been able to get my hands on any yet. I linked my name to my blog in case I win! ;)
Oh, those are so cute! Thanks for the chance to win some!
So generous of you to cut into your new goodies! As for me, I might be headed to our large JoAnns tomorrow. :)
I'm glad I found you! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I've been following you forever... and not for the giveaways! ;)
But I am really hoping to find some of this fabric tomorrow in town!!!
What gives? I've been running behind that bandwagon trying to get on. My loser Joann's doesn't have these!!
That's exactly what I did tonight after dinner too! I needed some Kona Coal to finish up a quilt, but I decided I "needed" some of these as well. I decided to take it slow. I bought yard cuts of three prints since I had three 50% off coupons. I have three more coupons for this weekend. I'll have to decide which three are my next favorites! Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow thanks for the chance to win, My Joanns was already sold out of my favorite prints someone bought over 100 yards just before I arrived. Congratulations on your 197 followers.
I'm gonna have to check out mu Joann's soon! Congrats for almost hitting 200!
Well how generous are you? Thank you!!
congrats on the almost 200, & thanks for the generous giveaway!
soo nice of you! All my 'reachable' JoAnns have none so far... :( maybe next week...
Congratulations on the 200 followers! I am sure you will be there by tomorrow! I love this line!
Congrats on nearly 200...loving this new DS line.
Me! Me! Me! This has been fun, hasn't it?! I can't wait to head out tomorrow and try to find it myself. I actually had to do non-DS stalking stuff today!
Yay! Here's to three more followers for an even 200!
What a generous giveaway! Thanks so much for sharing the wealth!
Congratulations on so many followers. I enjoy reading your blog! Thanks for the giveaway - my Joanns only had a few of the prints.
Great blog! Aren't these prints the cutest? Can't wait to make something out of these! Thanks for the give away!
I can't believe I've got the chance to get my hand some some of those beauties! I live over 200 miles and an hour plane ride from the nearest JoAnn's so I figured I would only get dream of them! Congrats on you milestones and Thank you for sharing the chance to have some of your beautiful fabric!
Wohoo! I think I might have to make a trip to JoAnn's this weekend! :) On the off chance I don't win this great giveaway that is. Hehe.
I'll help bump up your numbers. You won on Two Hippos and I would so love to win some of these! I'm gonna see if my localish JoAnn's has these.. ohhh ahhhh
Just signed up to follow. I think I'm 199. Congratulations ! and thanks for the chance to win this lovely fabric.
Oh you are so kind to share! Thank you! I've been wondering how I could get my hands on these prints... we don't have Joann's here in NZ.Love the colours!
Oh! Being in the UK, giveaways and kindness of other fabric lovers are my only chance to get some of this lovely line!
Thank you for sharing!!
Oh it would be so wonderful to, win, as we don´t have any Joann in Germany...
I love this fabric line!!!Thanks so much for giving it away!

oh I would LOVE a chance to win these - it's the only way I can get hold of them over here in the UK! Thanks so much :-)
The talk is everywhere about this new line! I'm really excited about it and the giveaway, thank you!
Congratulations on reaching the 200. Would love the chance to win. Have been inspired by your lovely work.
Michelle
Those are great - thanks for the giveaway!
Wow wow wow, they are gorgeous, it would be so exciting to win some.

Oh my, I would love these! They're so darn pretty!!! No offense to DS, but they're way prettier than Greenfield Hill! :)
Awesome giveaway and look at you over 200 followers now! These prints are so beautiful!!
Lovely fabrics! Its a shame there is no equivalent of Jo-Ann's in the UK (or if there is, there isn't one on my Island!) And congrats on the almost 200 milestone :D

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous fabric.
This collection and my joann not having it are making are making me so anxious! I need it! Thanks for the chance and congrats on the 200 :)
Yay! You are over 200! Congratulations and congratulations on finding such pretty fabrics.
Yea for almost 200...ok 201 now! Thank you for the opportunity to win that gorgeous fabric.
Lovely fabric, great giveaway! I'm follower #202! Woohoo!
Congrats on making it to 200 followers!! Love the fabrics :)
I'm afraid to step foot inside Joann's now that they are carrying these. I really want them but just can't right now! lol! Thanks for offering some of the FQs to us...they are truly lovely!
I'm going to go check out my Joann's today - since I have a pile of coupons!! And you'd be surprised how many "quilt shop quality" fabrics Joann's carries these days. They may not be designer (although they do carry the occasional Alexander Henry print) but they are good quality fabric. I should know - if there's a $10/yard fabric on the wall, my hand will gravitate towards it automatically!!
Such beautiful fabric! And I'm on a 'no buy' month :( Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
oh man, i'd love to win!!
Tomorrow is my first day off since reading about Denyse's fabrics at Joann's. I hope some is left! If not, I hope that I win your marvelous offering!
NICE! I love the dots and geometric flowers in this line, and great to know it's at JoAnns, so accessible!
And... now it looks like you've got more than 200 followers, so congrats :)
Wow...beautiful...thanks for the chance :-)
this looks lovely-I think I need to plan a trip to the nearest Joann's(only 1 1/2 hours away!) Thanks for the great giveaway.
i am going to joanns today to hopefully find myself some! i am not too optimistic...
Wow, wish i had a Joanns nearby to check out! Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow 200 what an awesome milestone, and giveaway too!
wow thank you so much for the chance to win this fabric. it is amazing....i am dying for a chance to see it in person. i wonder if i could drag all three of my children there today.
As I post this you are past 200 so congrats! So I gave up fabric purchases for Lent, which I am failing at miserably. So as soon as I heard about the DS fabric (I was going to JoAnns yesterday anyway for some Lisette fabric, see I told you I was failing) I was so getting some! Well our crummy store doesn't have it yet, and they all acted clueless as to who DS even is! I hope they get some eventually....but who knows! So I hope I can win some, great giveaway!
I need to venture out to my Joann's and see if they have this - but my Joann's is a constant disappointment to me, so I won't be surprised if they don't! Thanks for an AMAZING giveaway!!!
I've been waiting for my husband to be home to watch the kids so I can high-tail it to my Joann's and check it out. Taking the kids to Joann's is NOT my idea of a pleasant shopping trip.
pick me I'm fun! and I dnot have a joann's nearby...
I love this line and am doubtful that my joanns will carry it. Awesome giveaway!
Woo Hoo giveaway! So glad to hear our local JAF has them in stock already. I will be heading that way next week! Thanks!
Hey, You're at 205 followers now! Congrats :)
Man, I wish Canada had Joanns...!

Congrats on the 200+ followers! And thanks for the chance to win some of these lovelies!
Oh, love those prints! Thanks for the chance!
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
Woooop here's my chance and I am taking it with both hands. Since I have no access whatsoever to a JoAnns in lovely little Holland, winning these would be fantastic!! Thanks for this give away :-)
I've heard do much about JoAnns, we don't have it here in England. The fabric looks lovely, would be so special if I could be the only person in the UK to have this limited edition fabric...
How exciting! Congrats, and I truly love those fabrics...I would love to win them, but truly, I think they should go to the sweet poster (right above mine) that can't get them in Holland, poor thing. ;)
Wow, those look beautiful!
These look lovely. I wish we had Joanns in England I'm so jealous because you have such amazing fabrics and we have not very much to be honest! I can get some nice fabrics but usually through american or Japanese import!
Wow!! Thanks for running over and grabbing some of these, and sharing them with us!! My friend ran to our nearest JoAnns today and sadly reported back that they only had 5 prints :( So we will have to wait until it is available online to purchase the others....patience...uuuggghhh!!
WOW This is such a generous offer!! Thank-you so much for the chance to win.
Cheers
I am hoping #80 is my lucky number! Thanks
awesome! I wish i had a joann's closer. Maybe I can check one out this weekend.
So fun! I have been checking these out on flickr and have been thinking of making a Joann's run to get some... thanks for the chance to enter!
{grin} I'm on my way out the door after work to check out the selection at my Joann's, but I'd love to win some, too! Generous!
Whaaaaa???? DS is at Joann's? How did I miss this news? Oh my. Count me in! Thanks for the news and the chance!
Yes, everyone is buzzing about Denise Schmidt's fabric at JoAnn's. Thank you for your wonderful giveaway!
How fun!
What a great (& generous!) giveaway, Katie!
Great giveaway! Those would make such a lovely quilt!
These are lovely fabrics!!
Fun fabric. Thanks for a chance to win. I need to get myself out to Joanns more often.
I was at JoAnn's this afternoon. Every time I go I wonder if I'll see you there, ha.
I saw this fabric today at Joann's. I love it! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some of these fantastic new fabrics. These beautiful DS fabrics will be used in a quilt. Something fun and modern perhaps. It's about an hour drive to reach a JAF in the next county.
Katie, this is so generous of you! And I'm so glad I found your blog (via flickr). Love your supernova blocks!
Thanks for the chance!
Beautiful fabrics! & Congrats on a successful blog!

I have been seeing this all over!!! So exciting!!! I am so happy to have found your blog and happy to be in the new 200 group of followers for you :)
Very pretty fabrics. Thanks.

Thanks for the giveaway.
Well, I have been behind a door, yet I am seeing this fabric all over! It is gorgeous and sew many nice things are being said about it. You are so gracious in your give away.
Good to see that JoAnn's is stocking some better quality fabrics. These look lovely - thanks for the chance & congrats!

I'm a new follower. Thanks for the very generous giveaway!
Wonderful fabrics. Congrats and thank you for the fantastic giveaway.
Wow what a great giveaway! Our JoAnn's does not have DS fabrics, so I'd love to add these to my collection :-)
You're one follower closer to 200 -- I just signed up as a follower of your blog!! Congrats! And I LOVE the fabric giveaway, too!
WOW! Great giveaway! Count me in! Congrats on the blog hitting almost 200!
i am scheming a trip to Joann's (it's an hour or so away) but if I won I could just stay home and sew! hooray!

Oh, snap!! Those look nice! Thanks for a chance to win.
Congratulations on over 200 followers (I'm now one of them). And thanks so much for sharing your fabric for an awesome giveaway. Wish I had a JoAnn's nearby so I could go and get some, but I'm sure by the time I got there, it would all be gone.
I'm your 219th follower! Everyone is talking about this new line - and it IS adorable! I live way out in the country far from Joanns (and have been asked to refrain from further fabric purchases) so I'd love to win these FQs! Thanks for having such an aweome giveaway!

OMG! What a generous giveaway. I just found out my JoAnn's has some of this fabric. So after work I'm rushing over there. Congrats on your 200 followers!
Hi! Just found you on craftbuds. What a fun giveaway! I wanted to go over to JoAnn's but didn't make it when I heard about this fabric. Thanks!
Follower 220! I have seen a lot of buzz about this new line -- such a pretty collection!
No Jo-Ann's where I live or I'd be off buying some of this myself! Thanks for a chance to win.
:) Lovely fabrics - I'd love to win some! Thanks for the chance! :)
Congratulations on your double century of followers. Thanks for the giveaway. They are wonderful fabrics.
How nice of you to share your great finds!! Congrats on all your followers.
Awesome giveaway-- I haven't been able to get my hands on any of this yet, and it looks so bright and cheerful in photos!
You're well over 200 now. Congratulations! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oooh. I would love to win! (crosses fingers) 200+ followers? I'm so impressed!
Such lovely fresh fabrics!
Pretty!! Pretty!! Congrats on close enough to 200!
Wooo woo....you are over 200 now. Congrats!!!
Pleaseccount me in the drawing for this lovely fabric.
Congratulations on your followers! Oh my, I looked and you're way over! I'd LOVE LOVE to win those fat quarters! Thanks for the chance.
Lovely fabric. I better check JoAnn's if I do not win. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a lovely giveaway. The fabric is gorgeous. Will checkout JoAnn's.
This is awesome! Would love to win as there are no JoAnns in Canada and I have been drooling over this stuff all over blogland! Pick me!!
Thanks, Katie :-)
Wow - I've been trying to stay away from this cuteness since I completed the Atlanta Quilt Shop Hop and totally blew out my budget! Thanks for giving us a chance to win!
You are so generous to share your cheerful and bright fabrics! I'm glad that Joann Fabrics is beginning to carry better quality fabrics. I'd enjoy combining these prints with some solids, playing until I found a block and setting that I liked. Thanks very much.
oooh! crossing my fingers and my toes!
Oh, it is so hard to use restraint when you find fabric you like! We don't have a local JoAnn's.
you can reach me at kmrel4@gmail.com
Super duper groovy.
LOVE that fabric!! It is beautiful!!
Love those fabrics
lovely fabrics, thanks for the giveaway :)

Thanks for the chance! I'm in Canada and the nearest Joanns is 3.5 hours away in Bangor Maine ... not a drive I'll be making, but I'd love some of the fabric!
Thanks for the chance at these beauties! I struck out at my local Joann's so maybe I'll get lucky here! :)
Wow, what a generous giveaway! I'm miles away from a JoAnn's...wish we had one in Australia!! Would love to win some. Thanks for the chance!
Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway. And congrats.
Those are such lovely fabrics. Please do count me in the giveaway. Congrats on hitting more than 200 Followers now ^.^
