The Circus is in Town! Win some for yourself!


Laurie Wisbrun's designs have been a favorite of ours since she was creating them herself with Spoonflower. We've been in love with Tweets and now we're falling for the Circus – Urban Circus from Robert Kaufman. Giraffes and elephants, oh my!


The collection in two colorways - Earth and Spring - are now available in the shop. We'll also be giving away two fat quarter bundles of the entire collection! Visit our shop and pick a few Kona colors that you would use with these bundles and leave a comment telling us your picks. Entries will be closed at midnight Friday, Aug. 27 and winners chosen on Saturday. Good luck!

    Thanks for a chance to win!

  2. It's so hard to tell because monitor colors vary quite a bit, but I'm wondering if stone, coffee and/or one of the oranges would be fun with one of the color combinations?

    ReplyDelete
  3. I love the earth colourway and would mix in a bit of the Tangerine and Peridot with a sprinkle of Sable too...

    ReplyDelete
  4. I would try earth with wine and cyan!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I think I would pop some cerise in with the spring colorway :)

    ReplyDelete
  6. I love the baby pink and celery with the spring collection. Great give away, thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  7. ooh, i can totally see cyan, grass and baby pink together with these fabrics. I so want to get my hands on some urban circus :)

    ReplyDelete
  8. for the pink set I'm thinking the Canary, Peridot, Bright Pink & maybe Cactus would be great colors to add!

    And for the green/blue set I would probably go with the I'm Blue for Greens set, either the orange or school bus and sable.

    it's hard to tell on the computer which colors match correctly so that's my best guess! =)

  9. gah! I love love love these. I think I would use white. Is that boring? ... Okay, if I was going to use MORE colour, I would use stone ... hahaha. There is so much fun colour already, I would just like neutrals so you didn't lose the "pop".

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'm a pink/green lover so would definitely go baby pink and cactus :)

    ReplyDelete

  17. i think stone, tangerine and aqua would be my choices!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I am loving the school bus orange to go with the blue colorway and bright pink. Such fun quilts could be made with these!

    ReplyDelete

  31. Hiya, ladies! I've been on a bit of a sewing/fabric hiatus, but I sure do love this line.

    I'd love to put the Spring colorway with some Medium Gray as a background.

    -Liz J.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think I would combine both sets with kona grass because they have so much green in it that needs to be accentuated. Plus some peony for the spring set and some sky with the earth (or maybe canary and paprika). I think they would work really well together, at least on my screen they do ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. i'm thinkin' maybe some peridot or grass- i really like the greens!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think Bright Pink, School Bus, Grass and Aqua would probably pair nicely.
    Thanks for a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  35. i would use Kona Cotton Solid in Banana to match the greens.

  42. It'd be so much fun putting together these lovely fabrics with a lot of bright banana and canary, add some crocus and bright orange and then mix in a little medium gray. I'll be buying some of this.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love these fabrics, both colorways.
    I would choose grass, orange, cyan,and white for the Earth colorway. and I would use peridot, canary, a bit of berry, and white for the Spring colorway. Thinking of the possibilities for both colorways, what to make.....

    ReplyDelete

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  45. White and Peridot with the Spring colorway.

    ReplyDelete

  56. I'd have to go with the I'm Blue for Greens pack, a couple of those colors would definitely work and it doesn't hurt to have extra :)

    ReplyDelete

  63. I love the Urban Circus range - it's kind of hard to pick solids from the computer but I'm thinking with earth maybe: Tangerine or School Bus with Peridot and maybe some Coffee.

    For spring I'm thinking Bright Pink, Canary, Petal and maybe some more Peridot.

  69. I would match them with School Bus and Lake.
    Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Kona Sky is one of my favorites, and I think it would look good with either Urban Circus colorway. I'd definitely make use of Orange and Canary, too, and probably a half dozen others!

    ReplyDelete
  71. From your shop, I think Cyan, Orange and Bright Pink would work well. But I would love to see Kona's Lagoon with it as well.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I would use Canary and Peridot Kona Solids with this great line of Urban Circus!

  74. For the spring I'd use baby pink and yellow. For the Fall I'd use orange and cyan possibly.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Love this! I would use the white or stone I think to show off the beautiful colors of these fabrics. I would use the white and stone so hopefully the colors in the fabric would pop out. THANKS! So cute.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  106. I am really bad at matching colors online but it looks like Kona School bus would go nicely with the earth colorway.

    Lindsay.forgette(at)gmail(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  107. Earth would look fantastic with Kona Orange and a contrasting blue. Periwinkle perhaps, or a closer matching blue?

    ReplyDelete
  108. I think Spring would look great with Lupine, Crocus and Pomegranate. Earth would rock with Denim, Grass and Peridot.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'm finding Urban Circus Earth irresistible. I would add a touch of Kona Tangerine, Peridot, Cyan and definately Sable. Oh the possibilities!

  114. Would go with deeper colours to coordinate with already existing colours - perhaps peridot and tangerine. Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  115. It's hard to tell without matching them up in natural light but I think I'd go with grass, banana, charcoal and/or white...

    ReplyDelete
  116. I have a hard time matching up fabrics even in person! I think the "I'm Blue for Greens" would match up nicely. Maybe Surf? Definitely Snow White cause I love a sharp contrast with such crisp prints.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I was thinking grass (or cactus) and petal. But that's a quick glance.. would probably change my mind 40 times before actually picking the final colors.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I adore this collection! I would use Champayne, Paprika and Amber with the Earth colourway and White, Aqua, Bright Pink and Zucchini with the Spring colourway. I think that will look stunning! Such a wonderful giveaway, thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I think I would choose "Stone" or "Natural" and let the prints shine.

    Thanks for a great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Is this a pop quiz? I'm choosing Canary, Cactus and Peridot. Choices are subject to change upon a live viewing. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  121. I love these fabrics. I'm thinking some Coffee would be good and also some Tangerine and maybe some Stone. Too many choices.

    ReplyDelete
  122. These are such great fabrics! I'm thinking of clothes for my girls, and think maybe some pomegranate or cerise would make the spring shine, and some school bus and maybe surf for the other colorway. So many decisions/choices!

    ReplyDelete
  123. For the Earth colorway I would use Orange, Coffee, Aqua, and Peridot.
    For the Spring colorway I would use White, Grass, School Bus, and Petal.
    Of course, would need to compare them in person to be sure. There are so many colors of Kona to choose from. Thanks for a chance to win! mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  128. As I said above I love the elephants, I would pick orange and white to pop the elephants out.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Hmmmmm. Peridot or Grass? Petal, Bright Pink, or Baby Pink? Or perhaps just crisp, clean white. This is darling fabric, so would require special consideration for pairing. Thank you for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

  133. Lovin' Urban Circus Earth. I would use a mix of white with Kona Sable to let those circus colors POP!

    ReplyDelete
  134. ...hard to tell on the monitor. But you have a "Kona U Pick" in your store - 3 colors that I think would match - any of the 3. That would be me choice.

    jsample@pixius.net

    ReplyDelete
  135. Decisions, decisions....I LOVE Urban Circus the more I look at it and dream...and boy did I have a really hard time even coming close to selecting some solids to match when I don't have them right next to each other on the screen.

    I love both colorways for different reasons and different places and people in my life!

    I also love strong contrasts so I would go strong and dark most likely so that the colors would pop or with stone (earth) or snow/ (spring) for a lighter effect.

    Earth choices: coffee, peridot, school bus, paprika, amber, leaf
    Spring choices: sable, cyan, grass, canary, sky, cactus,

    Thanks so much for this great giveaway opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  136. For the earth collection I would use orange, my new favorite color. For the spring collection I would use petal, grass and white because I love the pink/green color combination.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I would use the Kona orange for the earth collection, and see if I couldn't sneak in teeny weeny embroidered purple Clemson tiger paw either in one of the orange circles, or border/sashings. For the spring I would use the green or peridot. Thank you for this generous giveaway. Ya can't help but smile when you look at these fabrics!
