The latest collection from Tina Givens is called Lilliput Fields.
Tina Shares that her inspiration began with ancient weaving and tapestry designs. On her blog she shows an image of Suzani tapestry, an ancient tribal textile from central Asian countries.
It’s intriguing to see her process move from inspiration to the final design.
Lilliput Fields paired above with Free Spirit Designer Solids Tango and Hot Rose.
What a fabulous take on Ikat! Lilliput Fields is a beautiful blending of Tina’s eclectic style with ancient textile motifs.

Figgy Pudding is the November Solids Club Stack. The inspiration started with the Dena Designs Kumari Garden Holiday collection. Such a fresh take on a holiday palette!

Love the color palette of Lilliput Fields — especially during this time of year! It’s so decadent and warm. Favorite holiday cookie: hhmm, that’s so tough. I love raspberry thumbprints drizzled with white glaze!
Lilliput fields is so beautiful. What rich color!
Yum! Speaking of yum…one of my favorites year-round is oatmeal chocolate chip!!
My favorite Christmas cookie! That would be the ones my mom used to make, sugar cookies! When I was a kid we used to make about 100 dozen and decorate them for Christmas gifts. Nice memories.
Old fashion molasses cookies, sweet and spicy for this time of year, just like Tina’s new fabrics!
That fabric collection is beautiful!
My favorite Christmas cookie is Italian Spice Cookies. It’s a family recipe that I got from my Grandmother.
Shortbread and Moravian Sandtarts.
I can’t go past an Anzac biscuit at any time of the year.
My favorite Christmas cookie is a Gingerbread cookie recipe from and old Victoria magazine.
Lilliput fields is so beautiful. My favorite Christmas cookie, is a Gingerbread cookie
Mexican wedding cake, but we call them snowballs
My favorit cookies are “fedtebrød”, they are a tradition in the region in Denmark, where I grew up. The name doesn’t make them justice.

Love the colors!
Shortbread is my favourite Christmas cookie. Thanks for the giveaway. Lilliput Fields looks amazing!
My grandma makes these amazing fruitcake cookies, though typically I find regular fruitcake to be inedible… but somehow Nanny’s fruitcake cookies are chewy, sweet, and delicious.
Those fabrics are stunning! I just love the combination of pink and orange with those reds. Really pretty!
OK, favorite Christmas cookie–there is a bakery in Birmingham called Savage’s and they have the most wonderful gingerbread cookies–not too dark and very soft and chewy. A friend shared the recipe with me since I live so far away and I make them every year. It is the only gingerbread I will eat and it is lovely. I have a cookie cutter the shape of a little house front and it is fun to ice them and decorate them like little gingerbread houses without all the trouble of building the actual house.
my grandma makes sugar cookies with jello powder in them… it’s not christmas without them!
my all time favorite cookie is vanilla bean. mom made these every year at Christmas. my brother and i would manage to choke on the powdered sugar every year, also. MOM’S VANILLA BEAN COOKIES
1 lb. butter, less 2 Tbl. 2/3 c. sugar 4 c. sifted flour 3 tsp. vanilla
1 c. ground almonds 2 vanilla beans chopped finely powdered sugar
Cream butter and sugar, then add flour, vanilla, almonds and vanilla beans. Bake at 325 for 5 minutes, roll in powdered sugar wile hot and again when cold.
Ooh….my new favorite sweet Christmas treat are these:

So easy and so delicious!!!
Russian tea cakes are my ultimate fav. Easy to make, and they seem so fancy when out on a plate stacked high for guests.
My old fav is a classic sugar cookie with the silver nonpareils! My new fav is the pretzel rolo pecan, I don’t care if it is not a cookie since they are so delicious!
I always make a thick, soft sugar cookie with Christmas sprinkles for my husband’s December birthday. He takes a tray of about 80 of them to work and the office staff love his birthday. I guess this tradition would make the soft sugar cookie with cream cheese frosting my favorite.
My favorite Christmas cookie has always been a cookie with m&ms in them! The fabrics are gorgeous!!
I like sugar cookies that are homemade and decorate by my boys or someone else’s children; however, nothing wrong with a good batch of chocolate chip either.
My husband’s grandmother makes these tiny klochky (sp?) cookies. They’re about 2 inches long with a buttery flaky dough wrapped around a jam filling.
Mmm, those are delicious colors. Remind me of these great cranberry cinnamon cookies a coworker made a few years ago. Hmm, wonder if I still have that recipe?
My favorite Christmas cookie is the soft, puffy pumpkin cookies my daughter makes, using her own, secret recipe. Soooooo delicious!
This fabric is so pretty. My favorite cookies for Christmas are Creme de menth bars. So yummy.
My favorite is Chocolate Chip, the kind that turn out very flat and are sort of chewy. Need I say, “like my mother used to make….”
Love a plain old sugar cookie with sprinkles! Thanks bunches for the giveaway!

Umm, that’s tough, I’m not that much of a cookie monster during the Holidays. Does it really have to be a cookie? My most favourite Christmas treats are Dominosteine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominostein) and Gebrannte Mandeln (caramelised almonds). But if pressed, Printen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachener_Printen), not tha fancy ones with additional nuts and stuff, just the plain ones. Soo yummy. Hah, I do have a favourite Christmas cookie after all!
love, love, love these colors. Would love a tote bag out of these colors.
Love!
All time favorite- Magic Cookie Bars- http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Magic-Cookie-Bars-from-EAGLE-BRAND/Detail.aspx
They are so warm and inviting colors. And the name is so fitting for this time of year, I just want to eat them up
Love the colors of these fabrics. So beautiful together. My favorite cookie is suprise kiss teacakes. I have been making these for years. It wouldn’t seem like Christmas without them.
So pretty!
I love the orange colors! Our favorite Xmas cookies are, whipped shortbread with candied cherries on top. melt in your mouth.
Love these fabrics, the colors and prints are fabulous.
My favorite holiday cookie would have to be sugar cookies. My three daughters and I have baked and decorated them every Christmas for the last 20+ years and I look forward to carrying on this tradition with my two granddaughters.
Thanks for the chance. Favorite Christmas cookie? Snowballs, aka wedding cookies or magic cookie bars
Sugar cookie of course
While I never met a Christmas cookie I didn’t like, I think iced sugar cookies are my favorite! Yummy!
Favorite Cookie? Not an easy question. I guess Russian Tea Cakes. They have way too much butter and lots of powered sugar. Yum.
Beautiful fabrics! My favorite Christmas cookie is the Spritz cookies. We make them every year and the kids help decorate them.
oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are scrumptious! just like Lilliput Fields!
Oh i love Tina Givens fabric
(must be because we have the same name)
my favorite cookies are florentine cookies- this chewy caramel-almond-choclat mixture….
Greetings,
Tina
My favorite Christmas cookie is gingerbread!
I love my mum’s selfmade gingerbread best! Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful fabric collection!!!
Year after year, I continue to go back to the fruit cake cookie. It’s a cake and cookie all in one!
