How well do you know Kate Spain?

As you know I went to the International Quilt Market in Houston this past weekend. The entire experience was wonderful (well besides for 1 woman who was a bit rude, but that didn't ruin my time) and exciting. On Saturday afternoon I found myself at the Moda area, I would say booth, but it was more like a block, where the designers had their own areas to chat with attendees. I met many of the great fabric designers, but the first one I met was Kate Spain. It was funny watching people be awestruck by just meeting her, which I have to admit at first I was too, but then I realized that she is a person just like us and calmed down so I could have a conversation with Kate that I would remember.

Kate was very down to earth and truly appreciated the visit. I totally adore the new line...it has great colors and will mix well with any Terrain you have left in your stash. I had missed the mini charm packs of Good Fortune, but I did get a fortune cookie!

A few weeks ago I sent Kate some questions to answer so lets see how well you know her.

1. What store is Kate Spain products available in?
a. Fat Quarter Shop
b. Crate and Barrel
c. Costco
d. All of the above

2. What is your favorite flower?
a. Daisies
b. Roses
c. Honeysuckle
d. Tulips

3. When choosing fabric for the Designer Select Fat Quarter kit, for the Fat Quarter Shop, what was your starting fabric (ie what fabric was it built around)?
a. Forest Floor
b. Fern
c. Seedpod
d. Aster

4. Which is true of Kate?
a. She is a pilot and loves flying planes
b. She repaints the rooms in her house a lot
c. She is a Dallas Cowboys fan
d. She went to elementary school with Sandra Bullock

How do you think you did on this quiz?
How would you like to win a charm pack of Good Fortune?
For a chance to win just answer the questions in a comment below. And this time you do not have to be a follower of this blog!
And while on the subject of blogs, here's a link to Kate's blog The Drawing Board.

    I'm going to go with:

    1. a) Fat Quarter Shop (not being from the US, I have no idea what things the other stores stock)
    2. a) Daisies
    3. I think I'm going to have to go with c) Seedpod but I know she said in the Jolly Jabber Designer Select post that she really liked a) Forest Floor as well.
    4. c) Dallas Cowboys fan?

    *grins* I'm probably wrong on all counts, but a girl can live in hope!

  14. VickiTOctober 31, 2011 at 1:12 PM

    I'm sure all of the answers can be found somewhere but I'm going to take a guess since I don't have time to go researching.
    1 - D-All of the above
    2 - honeysuckls
    3 - Seedpod
    4 - this ones's a tough one. I THINK I recall reading she'd gone to school with Sandra Bullock but then too, I think I may remember that she is a pilot as well and that she loves flying because of the serenity. hmmmm I think my answer will probably be the wrong guess BUT, I think I'm going with yes, she's a pilot.
