The reds in Lida's collection are amazing. Not always easy to locate red's a luscious as in her collection. My favorite summer smell...roses in bloom.

freshly mowed grass reminds me of lazy summer days as a kid

When ever I smell sawdust it reminds me of my Dad. He loved working with wood. Charlynn

I have some of Lida's earlier fabric set aside for my next quilt. Lovely and I do enjoy the painterly effect.

Lovely vivid fabrics. I grew up on a farm and one of my favourite smells was just after a shower of rain on the wheat fields. Also freshly baked bread waiting for me when I arrived home on the school bus!

Such lovely fabric! What I joy it would be to win! I always connect great family together times with the smell of yeast biscuits cooking...my hubby, two sons, their wives and now our four grandkids all love them each time we get together.

Love the fabric, such gorgeous fabric. The smell of cinnamon brings back memories of my mother baking pies. The excess bits she would brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon. She would bake these along with the pies and let us eat the scrap pieces. I can almost taste them now!

Got to thinking and it may be a little hard for you to identify me if I should win (or not). I didn't sign my comments regarding my "great memories" relating to a wonderful smell that brings back those happy days of youth. As an eight or nine-year-old (I am now 76.) walking home at noon for lunch in the winter, it would be so cold and windy, I have to walk backward in order to stand up and to keep the cold air from my face. Upon opening the door I was greeted with the wonderful aroma of hot stew cooking on the stove and of so delicious cornbread Mother was just removing from the oven. As I was finishing, she would remove a fresh baked gingerbread from the oven and cut me a piece, butter it with real butter and give me an ice cold glass of milk. I don't know which was best--the wonderful smells or the eating as my mother was a terrific cook! I guess the eating, of course, but the aromas of those food dishes always bring back wonderful memories for me! Bonneyb

I remember the smell of my mom making "Poor Mans Candy" it was a wonderful smell of sugar and butter boiled on the stove and if we were lucky she had coconut to put in it along with the vanilla. She would pour it out on buttered foil and we would all just sniff and keep walking by waiting for it to be cool enough to eat. YUMMY

I am only assuming this is the place to send in my entry for the "Painted Summer"

fabric giveaway.

My wonderful memory that is connected to smell is being a child in elementary school (I am now 76.) and walking home at noon for lunch in the winter and it being so cold and windy that I had to walk backwards to avoid the cold on my face. I would walk in the back door and Mother would have a pot of hot stew waiting on me, she would be taking a pan of hot cornbread out of the oven, and as I finished the stew, she would be taking out a hot pan of gingerbread and give me a big piece with hot lemon sauce. I will never forget those smells!

I love the smell of the perfume Shalimar. My mother used to wear it. I remember when I was a little girl, I would watch my mother get ready to go somewhere with my dad on a Saturday night. Shalimar was part of that ritual along with make up and jewelry. Sometimes one of the teachers or the secretary at my work will be wearing Shalimar and it brings me back to that long ago time. Meg

The smell of vanilla flavoring reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen and the cookies that were always coming out of the oven just in time.

My sensory memory is of the fresh ocean air, that sea breeze first thing on a sunny morning as I came out onto the deck of my parents sailboat when I was younger. That deep breathing awww! Blues, greens, yellows with a touch of salty zing! Lida Enche's fabric looks wonderful, I love the colours and the details. I would love to win a sample.
