Choose a colour for the new Owl and Koals softies

The Owl and Koala softie has been recoloured. I received the new strike offs (printer's proof) and I was pleased to see that we all agree to print all three of the new colorways, scheduling them throughout the year.

The red Owl and Koala looks happy and dare I say might sit on both boys and girls beds. The amethyst is my favourite colour and is the funkier of the three while the grey is so smart and will fit into modern interiors with a hoot.

I recently had a lovely email thanking me for encouraging an 8 year old son to sew up both the Owl and Koala softies. It is so wonderful to receive such feedback as that is one of the intentions behind the softies — to encourage children to learn to sew.

We only have a few left of the brown & orange Owl and Koala softies, so grab one while you can. And once they are sold we'll get one of the new colour ways printed.

Please leave a comment letting us know which colour you like best. One comment will be rewarded with a free panel of the Owl and Koala softies in brown. The most popular colour will be the first to be printed.

I do like all the colours but I am afraid purple is not for me.

The Grey wins hands down very modern and will suit both adults and children and very now colours.

For all those purple lovers you can add a purple bow tie or why not a purple haze mohair scarf to jazz up your beautiful grey owl and koala

I'm always partial to red, but the grey is quite nice too.

Stacy commented on 22-May-2010 09:45 PM

I really love purple, so the amethyst one. The red and grey are cute too, but hands down, the Amethyst. Great job!

Caroline Low commented on 22-May-2010 07:55 PM

They are all such fun but the amethyst would be my fave!

Michelle Gelston commented on 22-May-2010 05:36 PM

LOVE the purple ones :o)

Dee Soden commented on 22-May-2010 03:36 PM

If I had my druthers, I'd make one of each colour. But if I have to make a choice, well, I just can't go past the purple ones.

What a good idea. Well done!

Judy Holzberger commented on 22-May-2010 03:18 PM

If I was making one for the grandchildren, I would use the red colour way, But I like the purple.....!!!!!!

♥♥ Love the red Owl ♥♥ My third son's room has an Owl theme...and I always look out for things that represent his name which is Ochre...so the beautiful ochre colours caught my eye straight away. They are ALL gorgeous :)

I like the gray the best. Thank you for the chance to win.

Sharon Feigl commented on 20-May-2010 05:28 PM

Hi Saffron,
I like the grey best as it makes the other colours pop, though the red is a close second :)
Hugs, Sharon

kristy commented on 20-May-2010 03:57 PM

I really like the red first, brown second!

Kiza commented on 20-May-2010 01:44 PM

Both the red and the amethyst are really eye-catching...but I think I like the purple just a hair more. (Odd, because I *love* red!)

John Gillespie commented on 20-May-2010 12:54 PM

I like the purple the best - they would go into many of my sewing projects from quilts, applique, etc... endless possibilities for a creative person!

Tracee Forster commented on 20-May-2010 10:18 AM

The word Amethyst even sounds good & love purple, but the red just jumps off the page & right into my heart. I would be very happy having a cuddle of these two cuties in red!

Eva Esteve commented on 20-May-2010 07:05 AM

Love the purple and the grey. But I think purple wins;)

Tash Bing commented on 20-May-2010 07:02 AM

Love all of them, but if I had to pick one favourite it would be the red... love reds... !

Melonie Tankersley commented on 20-May-2010 04:07 AM

LOVE the purple, but it does not help the fact that's my favorite color. Also, I would try adding additonal color with the purple black and white...like turquoise. I think that would be gorgous...

Celine REynaud commented on 20-May-2010 03:44 AM

The red is a winner for me. very vibrant.

Sequana commented on 20-May-2010 02:32 AM

Amethyst is my birthstone so of course I'd like that one.

Ditto on them all being beautiful tho.

Miss Mary commented on 20-May-2010 01:03 AM

Purple is glorious! Love being introduced to your blog/work!

åsa commented on 20-May-2010 01:02 AM

They are all sooo cute, but I think the red in my favourite.

amy commented on 20-May-2010 12:41 AM

I love both the purple and the red one but if I were to pick it would be purple! These are so cute! I love the Koala because you see owls everywhere and the Koala is adorable.

GigiElle commented on 20-May-2010 12:38 AM

Tough one! I would say the red, followed by the gray!

Vicky Huang commented on 20-May-2010 12:20 AM

I love both the grey and purple but if I had to choose one, I pick purple.

Penny commented on 19-May-2010 11:45 PM

The purple, I love purple it's relaxing and the owl looks good in purple like its in the moon light of the night. Koalas suit purple too.

Laura Pearce commented on 19-May-2010 11:12 PM

I love the gray best :)

aww the amethyst one is so cute! I also love the red and the black also but the amethyst is my fave :)

catherine commented on 19-May-2010 09:16 PM

I'm a fan of the red one too!

becky commented on 19-May-2010 09:01 PM

OMG, they are all adorable! But if i have to choose, I'm going with the grey! ♥

Katie commented on 19-May-2010 08:28 PM

Wow, they area all striking but the purple one really stands out -- it would suit both boys and girls' rooms and blend really nicely with colour schemes in blues or pinks. And you can just imagine a purpley/beige owl sitting in the trees waiting for dusk to fall.

Kylie commented on 19-May-2010 07:56 PM

Purple for me, used to have every top in my wardrobe that colour .... I just find the relaxing and soothing .... p.s love the bird tree design

Kate Conklin commented on 19-May-2010 06:03 PM

I love all of them, but I'm really feeling the magenta right now. I'm not normally a purple person, but I just love all the purple fabric you have out right now! Thanks for a great giveaway!

Annie Fleming-Gale commented on 19-May-2010 05:54 PM

I like the black and red, I find black pushes all other colours to the front

Alex commented on 19-May-2010 05:22 PM

I love the red one!! So vibrant and gorgeous.

Lisa commented on 19-May-2010 05:16 PM

I love the red - hope it hits the market by November... in time for me to make it for December bub!

Tahnee van Herk commented on 19-May-2010 05:11 PM

All gorgeous, but for wow factor, it has to be red!

Andrea Martin commented on 19-May-2010 04:52 PM

I'm loving the purple, all lovely, but i think the purple is my absolute favourite. Nice rich colour.

Lizette commented on 19-May-2010 04:35 PM

i love them all!! but my favourite would be the amethyst because it is purple.

Jess Dugan commented on 19-May-2010 04:16 PM

Its to hard to decide but I love the Purple for my little girl!!!

Elaine Wong commented on 19-May-2010 04:16 PM

i really like the amethyst version, closely followed by the grey. Such beautiful works of art

kylie commented on 19-May-2010 04:01 PM

Hi Saffron
Im new to textile art and sewing and quilting, i love your stuff its so inspiring and you yourself make it an awful lot less intimidating to give it a go by talking to us through your day to day life. Now i can only see three samples.. lovin the red but so does everyone else... tho i think the purple is my #1 choice... Its a very distinguished colour for a trendy, wise owl. :)

Tish commented on 19-May-2010 03:46 PM

All three are gorgeous, but the grey one is my favourite (a very close-run thing with the red!)

Amelia Sliedrecht commented on 19-May-2010 03:37 PM

I love them all Saffron, but my favourite is the red. :) Amelia

Amy commented on 19-May-2010 03:35 PM

I looooove the purple! And I LOVE owls, your fabric is so pretty.

Lorre Popham commented on 19-May-2010 03:33 PM

Oh I love this softie print - these new colourways are great I like the red one the best :)

Allison Nicoll commented on 19-May-2010 03:30 PM

I love love love the magenta!!! But they are all super nice!

Joyanne Paspa commented on 19-May-2010 03:17 PM

Mmmm definately the amethyst is the way to go...they are all gorgeous. They would look lovely in my grandaughter's room. Great designs!

Tara McGrath commented on 19-May-2010 03:16 PM

Definitely the grey! The contrasting bits on the tummies etc seem to 'pop' so much more with the grey, and I think they are perfectly unisex.

tammi commented on 19-May-2010 02:56 PM

The red is the best cause it would be good for either a girl or boy baby. But the are all precious.

Mairi Girgis commented on 19-May-2010 02:53 PM

They are all so cute but I reckon I have to go for the amethyst! Love your new designs too!

Sarah O'Connor commented on 19-May-2010 02:53 PM

I absolutely love the purple and was so excited when I saw that you had owl designs!

Shannon Mitchell commented on 19-May-2010 02:52 PM

The Amethyst is the one I like best because it reminds me of the dusky night skies. Especially with the owl theme. An Koalas always have that soft velvety almost lavendar look about them.

Heidi Hopkins commented on 19-May-2010 02:50 PM

I LOVE the RED!! So fun! And I love owls and pandas!!

Laura Chaffey commented on 19-May-2010 02:43 PM

They all work really well, but purple is my favourite colour, so will have to say the amethyst ones! I look forward to purchasing them - something to sit on my bed for a change!

judi fisher commented on 19-May-2010 02:42 PM

for me its definately the red

Abby commented on 19-May-2010 02:40 PM

The Amethyst is gorgeous!

Lena Verviris commented on 19-May-2010 02:38 PM

Oh so hard to decide but I looked at them all individually and have to say hands down the AMETHYST!

Rebecca commented on 19-May-2010 02:35 PM

I love the grey/black, followed by the amethyst

marta commented on 19-May-2010 02:33 PM

I like them all...but I really like the grey

christine legg commented on 19-May-2010 02:29 PM

I like the amethyst best.

sally commented on 19-May-2010 02:29 PM

Oh the Amethyst is gorgeous!

Anne commented on 19-May-2010 02:29 PM

I love the amethyst tooo. They all look great

Jasmin Gearhart commented on 19-May-2010 02:28 PM

I can see only the purple ones here but those are one of my fave colours among chocolate brown and fuchsia pink! but i reckon brown and orange will sell the most during this season :) and its very unisex too!

Leah Birmingham commented on 19-May-2010 02:28 PM

Love the red:)

Betty commented on 19-May-2010 02:27 PM

My favorite is amethyst. All are lovely so it was a hard choice :)

Leah Clark-Vial commented on 19-May-2010 02:25 PM

I like the red the best, but they all are nice :)
