Carol!  She said:

I am a new follower and really have been enjoying your blog and the creative ideas. Of course I’d like to win fabric, I think my favorite is the tote bag, however the place mat is very close in this race.

Carol, please contact me with your snail mail address by this Friday (the 18th) to claim your prize!

Thanks to everyone who entered and either became a follower or already was one.  I really appreciate it.
Happy sewing!

Blog-A-Paloozing (Part 2)

Posted on 10 Comments

While working on some new lines and patterns, I’ve been having fun “blog-a-paloozing” with some other quilters out there.  A new blocks gets posted each Mondays and Thursday.  It is has been a great oportunity to try out my new Swiss Chocolate line. 

I think that I said in an interview that the “tapestry gone wild” is my favorite print, but in the last few blocks I really had fun fussy cutting the blossoms fabric, so it is running a close second…

Hop on over to the blog-a-palooza page to join in on the fun. You can see all the great work that people have done so far on the flickr group. (You can get the fabrics shown above at the Fat Quarter Shop, or use ones from your stash!)

Robert Kaufman’s (and my) Swiss Chocolate patterns and another giveaway!

Posted on 14 Comments

Sherri of “A Quilting Life” has been dreaming up a recipe in Swiss Chocolate that I just can’t wait to see.  She should be posting later on today and the best part is that SHE HAS ANOTHER SWISS CHOCOLATE GIVEAWAY FOR YOU, so head on over to her site!  Of course, you also still have time to enter Ryan’s giveaway on I’m Just a Guy Who Quilts and the Ambrosia giveaway on this site. 

Robert Kaufman asks me to do a complimentary pattern for them for every collection.  Since Swiss Chocolate comes in Roll-Ups and Ten Squares, I designed a pattern that uses both precuts and incorporates all the fabrics.  (Swiss Chocolate Roll-Ups and Ten Squares will be available at Fat Quarter Shop at the end of the month.  They have yardage now, but are waiting on precuts.)

“Swiss Chocolate” for Robert Kaufman

Here is another complimentary pattern for a chocolate pincushion to make with the leftovers…. 

Hope you enjoy!
