This is a fabulous fabric range. I love how the modern and traditional play so nicely together. What a fab quilt they'd make. Lots of little things make me happy. Being outside engaging with nature and flowers. Walking home from work and not getting wet through. Going on mini adventures with Chief and of course playing with fabric!
My almost 3 year old is the best! He definitely keeps me on my toes and brings me mostly joy.
Little things like a warm quilt on a cold night, a cup of tea in bed, laughter with my family and giving my handmade things to friends are things that bring me joy. There are some pretty joyful fabrics in this bundle!
Sunny days make me sparkle, as well as finishing projects!
Love these fabrics, not seen them before and will definitely have to add some to my collection - they are in my favourite colours
Bari J has such wonderful designs! Most of my joy comes from my family and friends who are the very best anyone could ask for! thank you!
Pretty photos on IG!

Beautiful collection and I love the name for it!! It's the little things that are important to me... A cup of my favourite tea, the song of a bird, the smell of fresh laundry on the line, the warmth of the wood stove on a freezing night... I could go on and on...
My grandchildren give me endless joy with their smiles and words - it is truly the little things that bring joy and I feel lucky enough to have always appreciated that. Simple flowers give me great pleasure - I spent hours roaming fields and hedgerows as a child in the 50's looking for wildflowers. I still search for them, especially as a passenger in the car. Fabric gives me pleasure too and sewing has always been a joy to me. Being able to create beauty with a needle and thread - to make a few scraps into something beautiful pleases me. Well before I start to hear violins I will stop right now. Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous fabric - now that would bring me joy! ha ha

It makes me happy to sew charity quilts for the long-term ill children at my local hospital, and know that these quilts can be comforting and take their mind off their illness for a little bit.

Funny clouds, fabric, coffee, smiley babies. Love this line!
My husband catching my eye and smiling across a busy room; my little boy telling me he loves me more than space; the way my little dog can't contain his excitement in seeing me when I return from the village shop. Sunshine diamonds sparkling on water and cherry blossom petals falling like confetti in the breeze. All these and so many more. Such a lovely thing to do to think about joy at such an unsettled time - thanks for the amazing giveaway opportunity but even more, thank you for helping put my head back into a joyous space! poppy@cuckooblue.co.uk

My little grands live in AZ but it is so fun when they visit me in NC. They love to catch lightning bugs , dance and run in the rain, and are fascinated by all the green.
Little smiles, butterflies and happy children. Love the colors in this fabric line.
Having conversations with my almost 4 year old granddaughter, Nellie, brings joy to my life and sparkle to my life.

The rain stopping just as I decide to take Archie out to his preferred sniffing spot. Not needing sun cream on a day when I thought the sun would be splitting the pavement. Realising the weather lady got it wrong and we're not going to have weather in the mid twenties all summer. Watching the fret roll in. Hmmmm, seems people are right when they say we Brits are obsessed with the weather!!!
My two little grandsons, ages 6 and 2, definitely bring joy and sparkle into my life. I am blessed!

Spending time with my "little old lady" friends--the octogenarian and nonagenarians in our neighborhood always made me especially happy. Moving away from them when we went to live in the country was very hard, but I treasure those memories and everything I learned from them.

Working/playing with fabric brings me joy and I try to spread that around by gifting many of the things I make. Things given randomly and for no reason are sometimes the best. For example, the other day I took some homemade potholders to the girls that work at my local bank and let them each choose one to take home. A small thing, but they all seemed very happy with the unexpected gift.
This fabric is delightfully colorful and rich! My sparkle comes from petting my puppies and playing with my grandchildren! Love your blog!
Love Bari J. I have a quilt all planned out in her Anna Elise fabric. These look equally as beautiful. Right now, my three little babes bring me joy and make me sparkle. I love every minute with them. I guess I shouldn't call them babes with them getting so big. And the few minutes of sewing that I sneak in make me really happy!!

My grandchildren top my joy list! Followed by new fabric, sunsets and flowers. Love this new Bari J fabric collection!!!

My 2 kids bring me so much joy and knowing they are doing so well makes me sparkle. Love this new line of fabric by Bari J. It also makes me happy! Thanks for the great giveaway.
Being newly retired (early)lol.... makes me happy because it gives my and husband and I more time together....we are loving being together whilst also being able to do our 'posh' things. This seems to be 'our' time which is very much appreciated..... the BariJ fabric is gorgeous😀 thanks for the giveaway ... hugs Sue xx
Oh I love this topic! So many little things bring me joy, good to remember to focus on them... today I am finding joy in a new pack of paper pieces that was just delivered to my door as I imagine the possibilities of the fabrics I will use for my new Smitten pattern! Also the sun is shining AND I'm off work the next few days :)
Puttering in my garden brings me great joy.

A sunny day, a surprise in the mail, a walk on the beach, a good book, all give me pleasure!!
Beautiful fabric range, and somewhat fittingly, one of the little things that brings me joy....just a simple cheap bunch of flowers from the supermarket plunked in a vase above my kitchen sink. Beautiful blooms, with a view to the trees outside, makes me smile every time I see them. This week, I have lisianthus and irises.......gorgeous😃
This is a gorgeous bundle with beautiful colors. I absolutely love the darker fabrics.
The little things that make me sparkle are my 3 young grandchildren. They make my heart shine when they come to visit us. DO they count as little things? LOL On top of that spending time alone, away from any distractions with my husband. He is my one true love and soulmate!
Each year I look forward to our row of lilacs blooming in the Spring. They fill my entire home with that wonderful scent. I could write an entire list of little things that make me sparkle.

What gives me a little sparkle?? I'd have to say the random little love notes and drawings that my girls make me. Even when I have had a bad mummy day they will surprise me with a "you're the best mummy ever". Or fabric. One or the other ��
I have also shared this on my FB page. (My page is private, but this post I made public)
My dogs bring me so much joy, oh and all my fabric too!

Finding a little time in my day to squeeze some sewing in makes me sparkle, and a much nicer person! Absolutely love this line 😍
waking up in the morning to another beautiful day gives me joy!
I heard a willie-wagtail singing first thing this morning and it has set me up to be cheerful for the rest of the day.
Sunrises over the valley across from my house! I love starting winter days with a bright sunrise. Love this line- such lovely colors!
Every spring, my Grecian windflowers make me smile and bring me joy. I planted a flower garden about 30 years ago, all different kinds of bulbs etc. I no longer have it. But every spring, there are still a few windflowers that show up in my grass; pretty pink, purple, white, and blue ones. They don't last very long, and I make sure my husband doesn't mow that part of the grass until they are done! I really should plant some more of those flowers, as they obviously take no upkeep at all!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful bundle.

Small joys I witness frequently in my grown children, how strong they are in their relationships w/significant their other, the small holidays/trips they plan together to relax or visit a natural wonder, stitching of course, grand parenting for the first time...now that's a true joy and has made my heart swell with many trips down memory lane. Lucy, thank your for this question. We need to stop and smell the roses daily and recall these joys and blessing.

Some of the little things that bring me joy in life and make me sparkle are the smiles and laughter of my children and grandchildren, our little lovable dog, orangutans and gorillas, most baby animals....so many things. Also, good chocolate and coffee.

I agree, it really is the little things which give joy, such as the sun coming out (perhaps not such a little thing really!). Sorting through my coloured scrap baskets is very cheering and there is nothing like designing a new quilt top in one's head! Thank you for the giveaway and the chance to win that enchanting bird!
Joy - waking to a new morning (thank you!) and hearing the little pug sounds next to me of Tula, my one year old gumby-pug! She makes me laugh with her comedy and jolliness. You can understand why I ADORE this giveaway!!! But more importantly, thank you for asking about joy. We need to look for it each day and be grateful for whatever form it takes.

I love walking and stumbling across a frgrant plant - I found a jasmin plant the other day and it was truly gorgeous!

The little everyday things make me happy - a hug & a kiss goodbye from my husband on his way to work, a cuddle with my dogs, a text from my friend, petting (organizing) my fabrics, and a bit of chocolate!
Ok so this may sound crazy, but I just reorganized my entire dresser so that all of my clothes are side-by-side, not one on top of another - if that makes sense? I'm getting a ridiculous amount of happy from it!

What beautiful fabric to give away!
So many things bring me joy but this weekend it has been watching the hummingbirds come to the feeder!! I love to see the gifts God gives us in nature!
The world I live in gives me joy- you just need to take the time to notice- I look at the beauty of a flower, a sunset, clouds, smiles, eye contact- anything really, but don't forget listening and smelling- listen to the birds, the rain and smell that fresh air, or bread baking, or great coffee.
Little joys for me are fresh strawberries, meeting wildlife in nature, having just enough of a fabric, and sharing laughs with my family. thanks for the chance to win some beautiful Bari J. Fabric!

I just finished a batch of heart blocks for Pulse. I am also working on a kid's quilt top for charity. This kind of thing brings me joy, and I decided today that all of my Sunday sewing will be for good causes.
Things that bring me joy - kitties, lizards, flowers, cicadas singing in the trees, phone calls from my sons, giggles with my husband, snuggling my great nieces, stories with my siblings ...
I'm so glad you asked as now my heart is singing with the thoughts of so many happy things.
Such lovely fabrics! What makes me sparkle is every beautiful sunset, birdsong, and loving on my dog and cats. And my kids. :)
Since my kids are teenagers now, it brings me joy when they say those three little words: You were right. Bliss.
