Wow! It's HOT here. But there's good news. Today and through the coming weekend 15 of you will have a chance to win a charm pack of Andover fabric designed by Renee Nanneman - from her "Linen Closet" collection - that I used to make this sweet summery pillow. (Along with some pink and brown prints from her "Villageware Toile" collection that just came out.) This should cool you off a little.
If it weren't so darned hot I'd be out here lounging on my pillow, sipping an iced tea . . .
Linen Closet fabrics.
Just looking at these light and airy prints almost makes me feel cool in this heat wave we're having here . . .
Just looking at these light and airy prints almost makes me feel cool in this heat wave we're having here . . .
All you have to do is follow the instructions below and leave me a comment to enter. There will be 15 charm packs given away in all. Make sure you leave your name and a way I can contact you if you win.
Okay, in keeping with the theme of this fabric, here's the trick to winning - tell me what's in YOUR linen closet that doesn't belong there, something that isn't exactly like linens or isn't even close. If your closet is anything like mine, it needs cleaning out terribly but you're waiting for some of those cute wicker baskets or shelf dividers you see in magazine linen closets to be on sale before you take everything out and get it organized once and for all. And buy some new sheets and towels too. Maybe this August. Do they still have the August White Sales??
If what you keep in your linen closet is your darkest secret, I promise I won't tell a soul. You can trust me! I am not prepared to show you a photo of my linen closet right now but I can tell you it probably contains some things I either just can't bear to part with or had no other place to throw them. Not linens.
.
Don't you love the bees?
So leave me a comment here - see instructions above - and your name will be entered into the giveaway. If you left a comment yesterday or the day before on the other post I wrote, it will not count - to have a chance to win, you have to post your comment on the giveaway post that's dated July 18. Comments will close sometime on Sunday and I will announce the 15 winners on Monday. Make sure you leave your name and a way for me to contact you if you win. Good luck!
I know that Andover Fabrics would love it if you visited their Facebook page and thanked them for the chance to win some of this wonderful fabric. (Tell them you like the free pillow pattern too!) Oh, yes, you can download the free pattern for the pillow here.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 347 of 347Besides sheets, towels, blankets, and quilts, I have a few bottles of bubble bath because the linen closet is in the only bathroom that has a bathtub.
Yum, what pretty fabrics, yes I do love the bees! Right now my gift bags and tissue paper for gifts is in my linen closet, just a handy place to stow it. Yes, I need to clean mine out too. Hope it gets cooler there!
Your pillow is absolutely lovely! My entire "linen closet" is the bottom drawer of an cabinet in my bathroom. And in addition to linens, I keep spare toothbrushes in there
oh what a sweet summery design and those fabrics are simply delightful!! I do love the bee print.. Renee's prints are always lovely & fresh!!
My linen closet is full boxes & baskets overflowing with fabric, pillows & blankets. An old lamp, magazines and some dear old books i can't bear to part with.
I can't wait to give it a good clean out... roll on Spring :)))
HI

As for my linen closet I never dreamed someone else would have framed pictures that I've not found home for since buying this new home...some need to be hung...some need to go...Maybe ebay time LOL....Also perfume, deordant, antique wooden/string permanent rods...bathroom cleansers...

In my linen cabinet I also have a miniature wooden train that I bought in Germany in 1968 while I was studying there. Why, I do not know! The fabric is fantastic and I need some of those linen light colors so it would be perfect! Gail in DC who can be contacted at ghhenrydc@me.com
Oh, to have a linen closet! I just have a couple of shelves behind a curtain, not much room for anything other than towels and bedding

If I didn't have so many towels, I'd stuff my linen closet with fabric.
Email me at rslaf@msn.com.
I just love these fabrics....something that I don't have in my stash.
Great pillow pattern which I will make for my mother..she loves pillows.
hmmm! What's in my linen closet that shouldn't be.... Framed pictures of me as a baby you see. I thought really hard...where else should they be? Hmmm! maybe on the mantle for all to see...so tucked away in the linen closet they should be....
Love the pillow and the fabric line...can't wait to get it. Thanks. Need to add that you are my favorite site...

ces tissus sont magnifiques, j'en reve !!! et j'aimerai bien faire ce joli coussin, En France il fait trés chaud aussi, bisous
I hide all of the snacks no one is supposed to eat in there and pile linen in front of it. Thanks for the opportunity to win this fabric pack. dbichard@sympatico.ca
Ooooh my! These linen closet fabrics are fabulous and very cool looking! I have a charm pack of her Wickerweave line that these would go great with! Love the pillow and thanks for the download link. What's in my linen closet that does not belong there? Well... on the floor is empty boxes and folded tissue paper for mailing out items I make and sell... I try to recycle the mailing supplies if they are in good condition.
Besides linens, I have all of my childhood dolls and their clothes...Ginny, Barbie and Betsey McCall! lkling@epix.net
Love the fabric range and the pillow is so sweet. Somehow I managed to store my very large, very heavy cast iron cooking pot. It does make great soups and stews though, no matter where it's stored!
What I hide in my linen closet is a blouse I bought 30 years ago,very expensive but a size to small,hoping It will fit someday.Can not throw it away its such a fine linen

Inside my bathroom linen closet you will find a cigar hummidor (spelling?) from the 1960s. Not the usual item you might say but for me it holds my nail care items and also some special memories of a special time in my life that I spent with my mother (deceased now). Please pick me for a wonderful charm pack. Notify me at 'prairiedoll2003@yahoo.com' --- I'll be anxiously awaiting your response. Thanks, Dodi Becker, Sun Prairie, WI
I have a plastic bag with sea glass that I collect on beaches when we travel. It's not a lot but I love finding it in the closet when digging for sheets and towels. The colors are soft browns, greens, ambers and clear. Slrquilts@yahoo.com
The fabrics are really beautiful and look like they would go with everything. Thanks for a chance to win it. My hall closet has linens in it, but it also has shampoo, conditioner, medicine, and bunches of other toiletries. I get lots of free samples, so I do need to check to make sure that I am rotating them enough.
LOVE this fabric line! I have dog shampoo and hubby's shoe shine kit in my linen closet. Don't know where else those two items should be but that's where I know to go to find them! Love, love, love the bees!
I've really enjoyed reading all the replies, so interesting to see what everyone keeps in their linen closets!! Last week I cleaned my closet so it is nice and tidy. :-) I keep a spare cot and an electric frying griddle in my linen closet. Sherri sljibb@hotmail.com
Pretty fabric! Let's see - along with the linens, there's school supplies, wrapping paper, photo albums, Advent wreath - and a few other things that needed a home. Oh, and a couple of storage containers of quilt fabric, too!
Great fabrics a georgeous pattern - I love this pillow.
In my linen closet there are baby and children books - my daughter and son don't read them, but I keep them for my grandchildren someday....
I use my linen closet to hide my stash of quilt books. The shelves are narrow--just right for books.
The pillow is gorgeous and the bee fabric gives my heart the flutters!
Beautiful collection of fabric! My linen closet contains everything but linens, including fiber for spinning :) Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. arizonaknitter at aol dot com
Hi Kathy... this is kind of a funny question. Up until Wednesday of this week I thought my linen closet has mostly linens and first aid supplies and lotions, etc. Well, my daughter told me she'd like to learn punch needle and I knew that I had an extra punch needle and needle threader some where in my craft room. I searched it high and low and never found it. Then Wednesday I was looking to make room for my sun block and found a small shoe box on the shelf towards the back...it had the punch needle and needle threader in it! LOL! You can reach me at char5@centurytel.net Thanks for the give away - love the bees!
Char
The fabric line is wonderful and it would find a good home in my stash and future quilts. I still have bath toys from my boys, now 34 and 32 in my linen closet. Too sentimental to get rid of them. Thanks for the opportunity to receive,this fabric,
Kathyroloff@hotmail.com
My linen closet has one side devoted to non-linen things! Short list is light bulbs, over the counter meds, extra toothbrushes, shoe polish, toilet paper, small ice chests and more. Thanks for a chance to win those lovely fabrics!
In my linen closet, you will find light bulbs!!!! Also a box of silver trays and dishes, it was the only place that had room for stuff!!!
Thanks for visiting Springfield in May...great fun, great class.

mmiller138@aol.com
I don't like to open the linen closet because I am afraid what might fall out. Besides linens, I have candles, light bulbs, and first aid and cold supplies. pmyers65@hotmail.com
I love the pillow...I'm redecorating our bedroom right now and it would be a lovely pattern to make for our new bed...and those colors have always been favorites of mine! God Bless You today and stay cool!

Would you believe, a bag of bird seed! Love the bee fabric!
bzstchn@aol.com
Well, the strangest thing in my linen closet is my daughter's roasting pan. It doesn't matter that she's been married for two years now, she "doesn't have room for it yet" at her house. Maybe she would if she cleaned out her linen closet!
Lori
I have empty boxes for gifts in my linen closet and I really need to get rid of some of them. Thanks for having such a wonderful give-away.
What else would you put in your linen closet......fabric! That's what's in mine, among the sheets and table cloths. Thanks for a chance to win that lovely fabric.
issaandlucy@gmail.com
Love the fabrics and thank you for the pillow pattern. Definitely want to make one myself.
What doesn't belong in my linen closet is a big box of crystal glasses that I have no other place for!
My "linen" closet holds various and sundry things such as Christmas pillows, a huge stuffed Christmas stocking(about 2 1/2 feet tall), an electric grill, a sliders grill, and oh, a few sheets and towels for the guest bedroom.
Bertha Maxine bebemallard@sbcglobal.net
Great fabric. In my linen closet is a basket of gauze. More gauze then I will ever need. Thanks for the giveaway. Nancy P.
I have Christmas cups and dessert plates and some of my husbands baseball cards in my linen closet along witht the sheets, towels and vintage aprons and pillowcases. Please enter me in the contest. I love the fabrics.
Connie L. in Texas
I have one shelf in our linen closet that has an assortment of things that shouldn't be there. All my manicure supplies, A stash of small presents, candy making supplies, small empty boxes, and used physical therapy equipment from when I broke my wrist. You are so right, I need to clean this out to have room for more towels and sheets! I will do this! Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win. Sally from CA hurstjsj@gmail.com
My linen closet is full of gasp....linens. Oh, and have my medicines and grandkiddo supplies all in cute baskets....another gasp. Maybe the oddest thing would be a supply of night light bulbs. I have little lights all over my house, cause I don't sleep that well and am up a lot, so that is where I keep them. Love your pillow....wonderful!
My linen closet doubles as storage, so all kinds of things end up in there. Including TP, the floor mop and kitchen supplies.
Thank you for the free pattern and a chance to win these lovely fabrics! Probably the strangest thing in my linen closet is a water pic [I have a very small bathroom :)] Jackie jvannor1@rochester.rr.com
I have all the baskets and dividers in the linen closet....I just haven't put anything in them yet....waiting for a day to organize...but that would take away from a day of quilting!!!! Love the fresh look of these fabrics....
Karen C @ georgessteaks@msn.com
There's more than linens in my linen closet. I think I have a bit of everyting in there, bandaids, shampoo, lotions, soap, space bags, suntan lotion, cosmetic bags for traveling and a ton of travel size containers for shampoos, tooth brushes ets. There is a whole shelf for electric curlers, flat irons, curling irons and hair dryers. I tell you when the last time anything but the hair dryer was used. After sitting here thinking what's in my linen closet I think it might need a good cleaning. I do of course have linen in it. My favorite things from my husbands grandmother. Just old table cloths (vintage now) but I love to get them out and use them. Happy Quilting to all!
kayparks@sbcglobal.net
The wierdest thing in my linen closet is a couple of curtain rods. Thanks for the chance to win some fabric!
I put all of my Christmas runners, quilts and pennies in a zippered bag and put it into my linen closet so that they won't get musty smelling. No wonder my linen closet is jam packed!! Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous fabric!!
Stay cool!
Paulette (pauletteadoyle@gmail.com)
Love the pillow! Thanks so much for the free pattern. As for what's in my linen closet, well, besides the linens, there's board games, a first aid kit, candles, and some sewing things. Yes, I do need to clean it out....again. :-)
In my linen closet you will find a tackle box full of oil paints from when I was in college. AND a punch bowl set! honahlee@nc.rr.com
I would love to win these fabrics-- I could really use some of those lovely neutrals. I have a foot bath in the top of my linen closet! Also one of those vibrating back cushions (hardly ever used). Dianna tedndianna@ sbc global dot net
This just showed up on my computer this morning. Must have come during the night. Happens with a lot of emails. Hope it's not too late! I actually have a printer on the top shelf of my linen closet. It's an extra and I haven't found another place for it atm. ;) I love this line. It has a softness and warm look to me. Love the pillow. Perfect!!
I have my pizza stone and miscellaneous Longaberger inserts etc. in the bottom of my linen closet. Thanks for the giveaway, the fabric and pillow is so pretty. Marsha Bohling @ quiltmeister55@yahoo.com
What lovely fabrics for this giveaway. I had to look in my linen closet to see what is actually there. Big surprise...I found the lap desk that I had been looking for. So you see I am already a winner!
Okay, I posted on the Yahoo group, sorry. But first love your patterns and style.
Second, slipped among the towels and sheets is fabric that hasn't made it to the sewing room yet. Thanks, vickie at darreldevore@gmail.com
Charming fabrics! Hmm, living in small quarters demands multi-tasking storage. My linen closet also holds bulk paper products, water filters, rice bags, Ott/standard light bulbs & a few vases besides the regular "linens".
My linen closet not only houses all the regular items that would be expected, but also houses all our personal health appliances like the humidifier, the nebulizer, foot spa, and heating pad.
On a much for exciting note, I absolutely LOVE that fabric collection, I will Need to order some as they are the perfect colors to coordinate with a quilt that I am planning to make <3
Love! -Amy (AmyNSimmonds@gmail.com)
Goodness me that is beautiful fabrics! How I would love to win.
I have such a small linen closet & can't keep much in there except towels & sheets, however I do have a Christmas angel stored in there. I just put her up there because she wouldn't fit in the ornament boxes.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Rebecca
Well, the usual stuff but my hubby keeps his chaulking in there! It would freeze in the garage in the winter. LOL!
Love the pillow you made and the fabrics. Love the bees. WOW What a great giveaway.
Love them all

Hope I'm not to late for your drawing. I keep a stash of hair color in our linen closet.

Beautiful pillow. Love the colors : )
Hi Kathy,
In my Linen closet I have panty hose (is that linen?) They are handy there among the sheets and pillow cases.
Thanks for a chance to win the beautiful fabric.
Nancy nroot@lycos.com
I wish I could tell you what's in my linen closet but my home was built sometime before 1888 and doesn't have one. Honestly, I'm lucky I have a clothes closet in my bedroom! I'd love to win the fabrics, though, because I definitely have a place for them.
Mary marycarollyn at yahoo dot com
Just saw your give-away! Please enter me for a chance to win : ) barbara spellboundhouse@charter.net

Love the bees. I have a stereo in my linen closet and all the cds , tapes and endless wires that go to who knows what. Thanks for doing this
Let's see... In our linen closet (besides the usual linens) are games, toilet paper, paper towels, and some misc. Christmas stuff. Thanks for this opportunity, the fabric looks so calm and soothing and the pillow is darling.

My linen closet contains all our medical supplies... It would be much prettier if it was organized in beautiful baskets with all new lines! Heather Potts
Hi Kathy! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway. Our linen closets have the usual boring stuff. however, the chest in the guest room with bed linens, towels, also have my Just Takes 2 quilt, just needs about 6 blocks to do!
Take care, Leslie
My linen closet is storing two very special blankets. One belonged to my husband before we met. It's a loose-weave blanket made of man-made fibers. It's plaid, woven with shades of greens and blues. When I married my husband, I had a parrot. I appropriated the blanket to cover our bird's cage each night while he slept. Our parrot loved that blanket. After we had kids, our parrot would get upset if one of them used the blanket to cover themselves up while lying on the sofa. Our sweet parrot died in late 2009. We were lucky to spend almost 29 years with him, and that blanket will always be his. I anticipate a battle over that blanket after my husband and I are no longer living.
The other is a baby blanket my mother bought for my son when he was an infant. It's a very, very loosely woven cotton in blue, yellow, and pink. I have repaired it more times than I can count. My son became very attached to the blanket after my mom died when he was just barely five years old. I wondered what he might do when it came time to move into a dorm room at college. While I was making his bed at the dorm, I felt something lumpy in the bottom of his pillow in its pillowcase. I slipped my hand in the pillowcase and knew at once that he'd stuffed the blanket beneath his pillow. I had to bite my tongue to keep from breaking down in tears. I might not own many fine linen items, but those two blankets are a wealth of emotional treasures.
Amazing work
good weekend

I wish my Linen Closet looked as good as those fabrics - Just finished a major overhaul of my closets and realized that I have rags, not linens! Have to do something about that...Lovely fabric line - would enjoy having some! Judy R from Buffalo
Merci pour le tuto, ce coussin est ravissant.
My linen closet has mainly linen - I also have a drawer that contains old photo albms and negatives of those pics, besides handmade paper bags, notepaper and envelopes! I'd love to win this fabric, thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Since my linen closet is combined with the walk-in closet off the bedroom....there is everything under the sun in there, not just linens, clothes and shoes. I believe the baby cradle is still somewhere in the back of that closet.
Thanks for the chance to win. Have a great weekend.
In my linen closet is a dozen or more yankee candles, games for the grandchildren and my quilt projects (UFOS), boxes of thread and quilt rulers hanging on the inside of the doors.Way down at the bottom are sheets and bath mats.
I don't know why but I can't seem to throw away old pillows. I must have at least 6 in my closet. Why I do not know! Towels too.
Thanks for a chance to win. On the floor of the linen closet is a small putting system for golf.
Love the fabric! Ldonzello@gmail.com
The thing that is in my linen closet that I can't bear to throw away is a whicker purse with the rag strips made from my mother's orange striped sheets from the 70's that I used as rag curlers on my little girl's hair. She is now 32. It's probably time. . .
I actually needed a linen closet as all the old table cloths wouldn't hang in the linen closet. So the spare bedroom closet serves as the linen closet.
Thanks for the info on the Batavia quilt show.
Oh Kathy.... where is the bee fabric available at??? Absolutely love it!!
Lisa Little/OK
Love the fabric! Thanks for the Give-Away! My linen closet is neat! I had to clean it before my hip replacement July 1st. Knew others helping would need to clearly see. The only thing non-linen is the blow up bed on the floor for grandchildren.
Sheet,towels and pajamas are in my linen closet.Your pillow is beautiful.Thanks
I have too many things that don't belong on my linen closet, bathroom scales, nail polish, makeup, etc....small house! awolk at rogers dot com
There are diapers and baby wipes , in our linen closet plus, it is our cabinet for extra paper goods I buy along with sheets.
Thanks for a great opportunity on the charm pack, thank you.
I love this blog, I love this fabric and I would love to win it for my stash.
Cindy Bigsby
The top of my linen closet is the repository for a number of "un-linen-like" things, including my father in law's leather jacket from his post WW2 navy days, and my husband's army slouch hat from his Vietnam conscription days, both of which, I don't know why, I can't throw away. Thanks for the give away opportunity.
Love the fabrics!!!
The only thing that doesn't belong in my linen closet (located in the bathroom) are cleaning products on the floor in there.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Nancy rrrmamaw@roadrunner.com
I haven't cleaned mine lately so there could be any number of things in there that shouldn't be. LOL Love the fabrics.
Maymewyns at yahoo dot com
The pillow pattern is very nice. My linen closet is too full of sheets, towels, wash cloths, medicines, etc. Yes, I really want to get some nice baskets to sort and hide the ugly bottles of stuff. The strangest item in there is probably the gift wrapping supplies. Thanks for the chance to win the charm packs. I love her fabrics, too.
swimming suits! Mary
hawkbmjp@mchsi.com
I have a few fold up plastic cups. I wouldn't say they actually belong in the linen closet, but since I will give them to my mom as hers wear out so that she can take pills at a water fountain...the medicine/first aid connection makes me think the linen closet seems like the place to keep it. Just my crazy word associations?
Great fabric. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your blog. My linen closet has linens and since it is a good size, just about anything else that needs a place to hide gets shoved in there.
What do I have in my linen closet? Well, if you would call my bathroom closet a linen closet, then I do have one. No linen in there though. Just a lot of stuff. I have a blood pressure cuff and braces for broken/sprained arms in there. I'd love to win the fabric so I could make a beautiful pillow like Kathy.
Janis hoffman3@scican.net
Lovely fabric and comfy pillow! In my upstairs linen closet I keep upstairs hardware, such as extension cords, lightbulbs, plastic trash bags, etc, along with towels and sheets, and baby blankets from at least 30 years ago! oh my, but they have their memories . . . and mine.
My linen closet holds the vacuum and extra paper towel and tissues...very unglamorous. I love those bees. Thanks so much for the chance!
A really ugly ceiling fan (still in the box) that I was gifted is hidden in my linen closet.
Love the fabrics, I building a stash to make an all neutral quilt.
I'd love to win some of this fabric as I've just started sewing and need to build up a stash. So, there are two things in my linen closet that are out of place - packs of toilet rolls ( I like to keep at least a month's supply in and have nowhere else to store them) and a pair of green Doc Marten boots that have been stashed in there forever until I can decide whether I can bear to part with them or not. Email - h.graham33@ntlworld.com
love the fabric! In my linen closet I keep medications, bathroom cleaning supplies and my pedicure kit. Oh, yes, there is also extra toothpaste, soap, hair products---barb.whitehead@roadrunner.com
I hide the little Christmas gifts that I pick up throughout the year in my linen closet. No one seems to put the towels and sheets away except me, so, it's a secure hiding place. svonfumetti(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love the linen closet fabric. Would you believe that my house doesn't have a linen closet? Well, it doesn't. We almost didn't buy the house because of that. DH put some extra shelves in the guest room closet so I would have a place for my sheets and extra blankets and quilts. Besides linens, I have puzzles and games in that closet as well as fabric!
Love the fabric and a chance to win a fabric packet. I don't know why, but there is an electrical outlet in there and I have a dust buster plugged in at all times.
Wonderful fabric. You can usually find Christmas stuff stored in our linen closet. Thanks
We live in an old house with very few closets. No coat closet, no linen closet, no pantry closet, etc. Outside of the bedroom closets there is one extra closet. Why all this detail? So you will feel my pain when I tell you that the only possible place to put spare linens is filled with stereo equipment - husband took it over....sigh... Rebecca Malley
Beautiful pillow - I hope to make one day and I love the charm pack. In my linen closet - there is a collection of towels and bed linens - the closet also contains my large serving plates and trays - which I only use on special occasions. The shelves are tall and they are out of the way. I don't know where else I would store them.
Love the fabrics! And the pillow is beautiful!
. . . well everything in my linen closet is unusual for a linen closet because the man that built our house decided to vent the furnace up through the linen closet! I have always worried about how warm it gets in there so I have zero linens in there just odd things that heat doesn't effect. :) I would love a chance to win that beautiful fabric! Nancy eddnancy@msn.com
My "linen closet" is the top shelving over the hanging clothes in my master bedroom closet. Along with the sheets and towels are two boxes of things I bought to use is my classroom when I taught. I retired in June and would love to get new fabric to start my retirement quilting!
Such a sweet pillow and fabric line. Thanks for the give away!
My linen closet currently holds my son and daughter-in-laws clothes.... they moved in with us temporarily so my linens are now scattered throughout the house :)
amatlock1@ymail.com
The whole bottom floor is stuffed with toilet paper from Costco! There is never a chance of us running out! Ha Ha! Thanks for a chance to win the charm pack of Renee's new fabric. It's sooo pretty! Katie K. katiekennedy88@hotmail.com
Love, love the fabrics in the pillow-thanks for the chance to win. Beside my linens, that closet houses items I pick up for gifts so I have something on hand for special occasions-and my Peggy Carr plates. (There may be some fabric in there also)
sjonak1@cox.net
Love the fabrics! I would love to win them. Stashed in my closet are boxes of extra dishes, outside flags not in use and extra stash of bathroom essentials. Pretty boring.
Odd things in my linen closet? Light bulbs! Love this new line, thanks for oppotunity
Oh My!!! what beautiful fabrics. I am new to quilting, and have very little in my fabric stash closet. but the linen closet has our linens in it. lol!!!!! beautiful pillow by the way.DeeAnn ralphannlove@yahoo.com
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! Silly, but we have 3 pair of binoculars on a linen shelf - just no better place to store them.
:-)
Did you ever see the Mrs Bobbins cartoon, where her husband finds her stash in the linen closet? I swear someone saw my my linen closet and made a cartoon out of it! Especialy the part when he asks her where the towels are and she says,Ahhhhh what towels. Thank you
the cute pattern and chance to win.
Melody 4750 e-mail melody4750 at yahoo dot com
I don't really have a linen closet ... since we live in a 5th wheel RV, there's *nothing* dedicated to linens -- I can't afford the space! In the three cabinets in the master bathroom I keep towels under the sink, dishtowels, washcloths, and rags in on one shelf, and toiletries on another, cleaning supplies on the third, and the trash can at the bottom! LOL! Spare sheets go on the shelf over the washer/dryer combo! :)
In my linen closet are sheets, towels, blankets, pillows, quilts, and one broken glass door knob. But I am copying the idea of keeping candy there because it is one place my husband would never look. Ha!
I love the pillow and the fabric and I love that I have been introduced to your blog. My linen closet has many of the items already mentioned here, minus the cat. Mine often times has a little rescue dog named Romeo in it. starsapphire54@gmail.com
Lol. 2 boxes of fabric are in the linen closet. I'd love to win
In my first linen closet I have children's toys next to my kitchen linens on one shelf and cookbooks on the bottom shelf. In my second linen closet I keep medicine on one shelf and in the very bottom, I keep my rolling travel cosmetics case, a fan and my spa pedicure tub. I REALLY need to reorganize after reading this! judysbluequilts@yahoo.com
I love the pillow pattern, Kathy. Thank you for sharing it. And Andover has the best designers anywhere!! I'd love to win a charm pack! We'll see. Demi
Great fabrics , in my linen closet I also have my fotos.
My linen closet is almost the only place where I put up my things organised. So there's linen from long ago, when we married. (1968)
The only thing that's no realy linen is a lace and bead made necklace. I wat to lie it flat, so it's on my pillow sheets. Don't think I'm organised fot every other closet is far more messy.
Greetings, Joke
my linens in my linen closet are nice and neat, but if you look behind them, at the back of the closet, you'll find my porcelain bunnies that I take out at Easter and my really fragile Christmas ornaments - just seemed like a safe place to store them! Love Rene's fabrics and the bee fabric is wonderful. Thank you for the chance to win some Linen Closet fabric!
I so wish I had a formal linen closet. We have very little storage space so my linen closet holds everything from linens to toothpaste. It is an all purpose closet. When I saw the pillow it made me think of my godmother who lives on the Cape. I would love to make one for her, she has the most beautiful outdoor, screened area. Thanks for the chance to win.

I have a big ,nasty ,old vacuum cleaner in my linen closet. Those prints are too gorgeous and your pillow is perfect. Thankyou
Love the pillow. A doll quilt out of this fabric would be darling.
My linen closet has linens and also overflow from the medicine cabinet...lots of junk.
Thanks for your inspiring posts, I look at them weekly!

Lovely fabric. In my linen closet is my grandmother's locket...shhh don't tell the robbers.
Not sure if this is closed yet or not, but here is what is in my linen closet that should not be there. I have a large collection of hatpins in cute containers, however I got two kittens a couple of years ago and they seem to think they needed to play with the hat pins. Being afraid they could do harm to themselves, I elected to store the hatpins away. One day, I just need to get rid of the hatpins since the cats are here to stay.
My linen closet is empty at the moment as I am moving. Love the Linen Closet collection and thanks for the giveaway!
My linen closet has the covered hole in its ceiling where you get to the attic! It also has baby blankets (my baby is 34 yrs. old!), my pressure cooker that won't fit in my kitchen, and my tote of calligraphy tools and materials that I haven't used in quite a few years. And it needs to be cleaned out and many things replaced - some items we got for our wedding gifts and that was 48 years ago!
The bee fabric just tickles me and makes me smile! So do the others, but especially that one. Great pillow pattern, love it! Judy - mominami@msn.com
Beautiful fabric. My linen closet has many things in it. Old family pictures, first aid kit, a few family games, a toy sewing machine that I am trying to find a spot for and then the things that are suppose to be in a linen closet.

I'm pretty organized - in some areas, and my closets are one of them...wow...what does that mean?! Does a pair of swimming goggles sound kind of silly? Where oh where else would you put them? I LOVE the bees - all of the fabric! It's summery and how I'd love to win it! That would be COOL...or maybe HOT - let's just say, the fabric is HOT and it would be COOL to make it mine. You can find me at csquire@alliancecom.net. Sarah is my name, quilting is my game.
Up on the top shelf of my linen closet are the alphabet building blocks my children played with years ago, and that I have moved from house to house at least 6 times waiting for grandchildren to get them out for.....I'm still waiting!
