I just love Polly Minick and Laurie Simpson! The designing Sisters that create amazing fabric for Moda and make equally heart stopping quilts and hooked rugs! http://www.minickandsimpson.com/

How does the division of labor play out?

• Quilts by Laurie..
• Rugs by Polly...
• Fabric by the two of them!

I interviewed them on January 23, 2012  CLICK HERE to listen while you read!

First let's find out what Laurie likes about the holidays....

hold on for some AMAZING photos!

• Favorite Drink - I'd have to say my favorite holiday drink is the quintessential american drink - Coca Cola - and it is especially ideal during the holidays because of the Coca Cola Santa.  He is the Santa I imagined as a child.  
• Favorite Food - My favorite holiday food is probably Christmas cookies.  Home-made.  
• Favorite Holiday tune.....there are so many.....Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland is a particular favorite.

And her favorite Christmas Photo

is of Polly's bedroom decorated for Christmas

My living room turned bedroom I want to do in several shades of green & white. My bedroom turned sewing room I want to do in purple. Love bright bold color, but tend to go softer in rooms. I've always wanted to do my kitchen in the bright indigo blues & white, even the floor! Maybe someday.

[Patti]

RED.

[Sher7753]

I would paint it Teal and have Purple and Blue
accents.

[Cristie]

green

[Marlene]

If I had no fear I would paint my living room a med aqua

[Kathy]

I would love to try something modern...like gray with teal and silver accesories. Way out of my comfort zone!

[Trish]

Turkey red or burnt orange......maybe someday.....sigh....my boldest current color is mustard.
Merry Christmas ya'll!

[Brenda Hulsey]

My no fear colors would have to be some shade of green. I love greens!

[Janet Larsen]

I guess I would paint the room a taupe color and the eating area near red!

[Jeanne Jones]

I would paint me bedroom a teal color. I have a sunny yellow now, but a change would be good.

[Kim]

I would paint it brown. Just like a candy bar. But, my husband would hate it, I'm not sure why bc he is color blind. LOL.

[Sewing Sue]

I always do blue and beige, but I'd really love something in a nice, rich warm red. With white crown molding and a dark brown velvet sofa. Ahhh...

[Theresa Thomas]

A hunter green on two walls and a lighter shade of green on the other two walls.

[Tiffanee Noack]

I would love to paint it a really dark brown since its almost nothing but floor to ceiling with windows and light stained tongue & groove vaulted ceilings..I think it would make my red leather chair and rustic decorations pop and it would be like a frame for my photography prints on canvas!! Hummm, this has got me thinking now...maybe I'll do just that!! Thanks for the inspiration!

[Sue]

Lime green, the color that makes me smile. But our entire home is decorated with colonial/transitional colors and style, so the lime just wouldn't work, haha. Thank you for the chance to win a great give-away!

[Candace Weiss]

A mirror, not a morrow- if my post is still there- periwinkle blue for my walls.

[Candace Weiss]

I would pain it Periwinkle Blue and creamy beige, but than like In the book "If you give a Mouse a Cookie", things would need to change-the couch and chair, and than something else would need to change-the carpet, and than above the fireplace I would need to add a morrow to reflect all the lovely new colors and beautiful new room!
Thanks for the idea!!

[Virginia Severson]

I would mix straw with drywall paste and apply that to my walls by hand. I like white trim with a dark earthy brown.

[Donna Fuqua]

I would paint it apple green and black which would drive hubby crazy!

[Lorraine W.]

I'd paint it a nice combo of something like acid green and espresso brown.

[Donna Joy]

Maybe a mocha or espresso color,

[mary]

deep red

[Wanda Myers]

Oh gosh, I've never considered anything but white or eggshell!! How about a creamy buttery yellow!

[Mirtes]

brown - tan - gold !!! Brown on the botton with tan/gold stripes :)
I wish my husband let me do it!!!
Those are my favorite colors :)

[Barb Spurr]

Teal......and I did it this summer.......and I love it!!
