So you all like Henna Garden.. I'm with you, It might be my favorite print too, but don't tell the others. As time has passed, there has been more and more questions coming in about where to get such and such Henna Garden color that is out of print.
There's something about it - not a solid, but almost.. sorta.. So after enough requests, I'm thrilled to let you know that we are printing a Henna Garden collection. (Fall 2011) We will reprint the most popular (vote below) colors and new ones to coordinate with newer fabrics and my collection of solids that I am tickled about that should actually be hitting stores anyday. Need to share that with you..
So I love hearing your thoughts and thought it would be fun to have a little vote on the favorite colors. We'll compile the results and take it all into consideration when deciding on the colors to go into reproduction.
The little voting widget allows you to pick multiple selections, but try not to pick everything!
Also, the new Henna Gardens (and some new Vintage Dots, that I will create from the most popular colors) will be printed on the fabulous new fabric that Secret Garden is on. It is so wonderful, wait till you feel it.
So there you have it! You asked for more Henna Garden, here you go. I'll even let you have a say in what colors you want. Feel free to leave new color combo suggestions in the comments!
Just to get your brain flowing, and rainbow happy, check out these gorgeous "Henna Garden only" projects that I found on Flickr:
I know, right?
This is fabulous news! Thanks for giving me a chance to vote on the colors.

Geeking out over this. Now I'll be able to copycat a quilt I've been eyeing for a looong time. (This one, in her header: http://kelbysews.blogspot.com/ ) Yahoo for reprints. :)

Hooray! Love this print. OK-to be fair I left one out but I'm not telling!
Posted by: DianeY | July 17, 2011 at 09:16 PM
Oh! I forgot to mention that Vintage Dots is a real favorite, too! I've been hoarding what I have! And I need more!
Posted by: DianeY | July 17, 2011 at 09:18 PM
oh god yes! I've been looking for pumpkin everwhere to complete my stash!
Posted by: Inkie | July 17, 2011 at 09:18 PM
yeah.. pumpkin is definitely one that gets requested a lot. :) I like it too! Just used some of it for a project in my next book, felt guilty because it is out of print, but now feel better because Im sure that one will make the cut. ;)

April - that quilt is totally copy-worthy! So cute!
Posted by: Sandi Henderson | July 17, 2011 at 09:23 PM
I love this print and have never actually owned any. Just googled Vintage Dots and I remember that one - yummy scrummy. So glad you are able to bring them back and thank you for the opportunity to vote on my fave colours.

Yippee! Love these prints so much! Would love to see an aqua/white combo and maybe a dark eggplant purple? :) Honestly, you can't go wrong with these prints, any color will be fabulous!
Posted by: Jeni | July 17, 2011 at 09:57 PM
Seriously, how are we supposed to choose?! I love them all. Thanks for doing this!
Posted by: kristin | July 17, 2011 at 10:25 PM
This is news that I was really hoping for. I have one yard cuts of everything but the red/pink and the pumpkin and was actually thinking how cool it would be if a Henna Garden collection could be printed. I can't wait to see the print in new colorways!
Posted by: Bountiful Quilter | July 17, 2011 at 10:27 PM
Oh yea, my vote for pumpkin, plus that suggestion of an eggplant purple sounds wonderful.
Posted by: Jeannette Bruce | July 17, 2011 at 10:35 PM
Yes, I agree, there definitely needs to be a deep purple option! And I'm also thinking that a true red and white option would be fabulous as well. Really...any color combo would make me happy. ;)

Angela-
By true red do you mean sort of a bright Christmas red?

I have wanted to copy that four patch quilt you featured - the one with the black. The hardest to find for me were pumpkin and spring pink, I had the others collected one by one already. I love the speckle and brown (although really, I love them all)and I think besides a true red with white, a great combo would be black and white. Ohhhhhhh, new Vintage Dots will be wonderful too! By true red I mean....not pinky, not orangey and pair it with white please. :D
Posted by: CJ | July 17, 2011 at 11:27 PM
for those seeking out pumpkin and spring, but can't wait for the rerelease or want the same fabric as before, they are still widely available around Australia. Here's a shop with both:

Oh yeah....how exciting. I love Henna Garden! And I cannot wait to get some Secret Garden.
Posted by: amber | July 18, 2011 at 12:07 AM
You have really made my day (my week, my year .....)
I LOVE Henna Garden - so much so that I've recently started up a flickr group of projects with Henna Garden in it. The 2 top projects that you featured are mine (squeal), thanks for showing them off :)
I would love to see a light grey, a different green, an aqua and red on a white background .... and any other new ones that you can dream up. I can't wait ......
Posted by: Amelia | July 18, 2011 at 12:18 AM
I would love to see the red/white and eggplant/deep purple combinations too as well as grey/white.
Posted by: Louise | July 18, 2011 at 12:41 AM
That is fabulous! The colors with white are most popular. Is it possible to get a blue and/or aqua with white flowers rather than the blue on blue?
Posted by: Kori | July 18, 2011 at 12:59 AM
Yippie!! I actually just completed my collection (I was shockingly able to get a 1/2 yard of the Pumpkin a few weeks ago), but now I am going to NEED all of these reprints on this fantastic new fabric that I hear you talk so fondly of! And of course I am going to have to get the vintage dots as well! So super excited it hurts! :-) Can't wait!
Posted by: Mary Carole Dolce | July 18, 2011 at 02:29 AM
Wahooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially for the ever elusive pumpkin color! My faves are definitely the ones with the white contrasting flowers.
Maybe a new color could be a true aqua with white flowers? I'd LOVE that!
Posted by: Elena @ Breakfast for Dinner | July 18, 2011 at 04:18 AM
Yay! That's great news. The henna garden prints are so useful and versatile. Thank you!
Posted by: Jessica | July 18, 2011 at 05:23 AM
This is WONDERFUL news (and smart too I wanna add). :D
Pumpkin Henna is one of my most favorite prints ever!!
I agree - Aqua would be amazing! Amazing!!
In the survey it might be a good idea to "rate" (for ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) our favorites instead of vote for the ones to be reprinted - b/c for me, there are so so many I could have voted for. I narrowed it to three - but I do love them all.
I have found the Persimmon to be especially versatile. Thanks Sandy!!

You made my day! I just love this design and I have it in several colourways, but there are still some missing from my stash so knowing that I might be able to get them at last is just great. I could easily have voted for all of them, but managed to narrow it down to five. Now if only we could get a turquoise/white combination too, that would be just perfect!
