My current favorite singer is Johnny Reid. I am anxious to get down and see your store addition.
Christine from Cookstown
WHAM / George Michael! I even went to their concert when I was 8, and their posters adorned the walls in my room :)
My favorite singer is currently Johnny Reid. I am so looking forward to coming down to see your store addition.
It's a toss up between Bonnie Tyler and Heart. But I'm going for Heart purely because Alone is one of my favourite songs. "Till now, I always got by on my own, I never really cared until I met you, and now you've chilled me to the bone, how do I get you alone? ALONE!" I'm just off to get my air guitar.....

I NEED a Kona bundle. I received one as a gift from my daughter before. I wish I could post a picture here of the trapunto quilt I made with it.Is time to make another, now that my skills with trapunto have improved.
I work at a quilt shop and I love to organize the solids,just to touch the Konas.
OHHHHHHH SOOOOO MANY! The 80s were an awesome music decade... I did rock to BLACK SABBATH THO! AEROSMITH and then on a CANADIAN flip side we had BRYAN ADAMS/LOVERBOY and BURTON CUMMINGS!!
My favorite in the 80's was Marvin Gaye!
BachmanTurnerOverdrive was my favorite, and of course they were played on an eighttrack.
OHHHHHHH SOOOOO MANY! The 80s were an awesome music decade... I did rock to BLACK SABBATH THO! AEROSMITH and then on a CANADIAN flip side we had BRYAN ADAMS/LOVERBOY and BURTON CUMMINGS!!
Aerosmith - even though i was born in the LATE 80's haha
My favorite rock star is Neil Diamond. I will see him this June for the third time and it is always magical!

Elton John..would love to win
I was in love with bryan adams back in the days. still enjoy his music. the 80's gave us some of the beat and some of the cheesiest music ever.
Bruce Springsteen!! Thanks for the chance!
well, the 80s happened a bit before my time... I guess if I had to pick one - it would be Jon Bon Jovi
Lots of romantic Lionel Richie, I was a newlywed back then.
I missed the 80's! I was having babies. Probably David Bowie would be my choice although the Canadian group Rough Trade was pretty special. Maybe they were the 70's? There are no solids in my stash so a bundle of Kona would be nice. Happy holiday today everyone.
Hmmm... back then, I guess would have to be the Jeff Heely Band, or Bon Jovi, too many great bands to make a hard choice...
I love the Kona solids and would put them to use right away.
I was born in 1980, which is important to consider when I say that my favorite "rock" star was Debbie Gibson!
This comment is especially for Judy: DAVID BYRNE, baby! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Blondie, Air Supply and the BeeGee's R.I.P Robin not exactly rock and roll but thats who I liked LOL

I was a huge Depeche Mode fan (though I wouldn't call them 'rock'). I remember seeing them at Exhibition Place about a million years ago (or, you know, in '87-ish)
Duran Duran was my absolute favorite! Not rock, more pop. Rock...Aerosmith were fabulous.
It's a toss up between Sting & Springsteen!

My favorite would have to be Queen! Still love them.
Well, I was just a little kid, but I like Michael W. Smith and he has been singing for a little while, but maybe not that far back. =)
Thanks!
80s are a little before my time, born early 80s, but I like Journey and loved queen when I was little!
Hmmmm... I think I would have to go with Aerosmith, for music that endures. I would dearly love to get my hands on that wonderful Kona bundle... and with any luck, I might also create something that endures...

Rocker in the 80's? How about Doobie Brothers? They were probably more 70's, but I still listened to them in the 80's. Thanks for the giveaway - I would love to do more work with solids!
I don't know any 80s music, but my favorite rock star is Paul McCartney. Love his voice.
trilliumcreates AT gmail DOT com

I listen to all genres and all eras of music but in the 80s there was a lot of Kim Mitchell being played around here.
Mary Van Dijk
So many, so little space!Elton John, Air Supply, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, Queen, BTO, and Bryan Adams are but a few :).

Thanks for the chance to win! Bronski Beat and U2 were my favs...
Aerosmith especially since having the reminders with some of the songs on American Idol and Steven Tyler on the show. I became a Gramma to my first granson,Ethan, this week. So does that mean I win the fabric too along with the award for the cutest baby in the world??

Thank you for the giveaway!
the Eagles.
thanks for the giveaway.
We can only pick one?? So many choices!!! I guess I'd have to say Elton John, although I want to add Queen, Springsteen, etc., etc., etc. ;-)

Thanks for the chance to win! I need some good solids.
Bon Jovi!
I was a huge Michael Jackson fan..more pop than rock, but that's who I listened to most in the 80s, and still do.

The Bangles were awesome!!! Definitely my favourite!!
That's an easy one JON BON JOVI. I have been in love with him since I was 8.
uhmmm... well I was only born in the 80's... but I like alot of the old 80's rock.
Cyndi Lauper made a big impression on me - she was so outside of the box compared to what I was used to!
My favorite band ever is Queen. But you shouldn't head bang to that part in Bohemian Rhapsody while driving stick, just so you know.
My favorite 80's singer is George Michael from WHAM :D
Dulce
ruelasjacobo90@gmail.com
Wow, I never was very good at tracking individual artists. I'll go with Sting. A favorite then and now!
Debbie Gibson. not rock, and I think actually 90s, but 90's is all I can think of right now.
I was born in the 80"s so I didn't know anything about rock star, but one of my favorite bands right now is Plain White T's.
kell22 @ cox.net
You can't beat Aerosmith!!! thanks for this chance.
Annie Lenox and the Eurythmics. I still like her.
Billy Idol, hands-down. :D
I'll choose Blondie. I even have my 3 & 4 year old daughters listening to some of her songs now & they love them! Thanks for the chance to enter!
My favourite rock star of the 80's would be David Lee Roth. Thanks for the opportunity to win fabric! Happy Victoria Day
Awesome fabric! What a great give away, like to give that a chance too! Thanks for organizing! O and George Micheal..... Kind regards, Conny
My favorite from the 80's would be the Eagles. Haven't listened in a long time, will have to check them out on iTunes.
There are so many: Poison, Bob Seger, Quiet Riot, Bruce Springsteen, The Police, BonJovi, Queen, Journey. The list goes on and on but I think Seger is still my favorite from the 80's.
It's hard to pick just one favorite, but I was recently introduced to The Smiths and I love them!
I was only a kid in the 80s, but I'll go with Bon Jovi!
Well this group isn't really rock and roll but more alternative,... The Cure was and still is my favorite band from the '80s.
I was a kid in the 80's, and the only non-kids' record (yes, record as in LP) I owned was Madonna's True Blue. I knew all the words. But hands down my favourite 80's song was Tiffany's "I think we're alone now." Not that I had any clue what the song was about, but I could sing the whole thing from memory - and often did.
Those are some nice solids...
Wow! What a way back! Bryan Adams would be my pick!
corningfamilyateastlinkkdotca
I don't have a good 80's group...or Rock Star for that matter. Sorry. But I was around in the 80's...
well I wasn't very old in the 80's but I loved wham!
dont know if this group is considered a rock star, but they are to me, and have been all through the 70's till now: CCR: Creedence Clearwater Revival! most especially the long version of "Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Maybe more pop than Rock but I loooved Corey Heart. sigh... ;)
Hmm, the 80's were a bit of a blur for me--can I say my favourite from the 70's and assume they were still playing in the 80's?! That would be Fleetwood Mac.
Love the Kona solids! :-)
Karen C.
Whitney Houston? That's who we'd dance to.
Thanks for the giveaway. I've been using mostly solids lately so this would be a great bundle to win.
erincode-at-metzlers-dot-org

Rush and Queen! Thanks for the giveaway!
Does Billy Joel count as an 80's rock star? Bryan Adams, George Michael maybe. Good conversation starter since my husband and I are both of that era and my daughter calls the 80's "ancient times".
I'm more of a 90's than an 80's kid, but I'd have to say Jon Bon Jovi!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Stephen Tyler is a rock god!!

Ah the 80's... loved Ah-ha but not sure the lead singers name (not an important detail to a 10 year old!!). Great giveaway!!!!
I was born in the 80's. At 2 I developed a crush on Bowie that continues to this day :D
The Eagles
80'S??? I was listening to Charlotte Diamond and Sesame Street in those days. Greatest rock band of ALL TIME -- Led Zepplin!

The Beatles for sure!
BonJovi! My neighbor had a framed picture of him with his big hair. :D
