Quilt Block of the Month "Eight Hands Around"

Hello lovelies! 

January is almost over but I did not forget about our "Quilt Block of The Month". I am having so much fun creating new content in my YouTube Chanel as well as my blog, it is really fun and relaxing to make them. This time around, I decided to create an "Eight Hands Around Quilt Block" in Youtube and think it's one of my favorites so far. I want to show you how simple and fun it is! Just click on the picture below to watch how to make it:

Did you like the "giveaway surprise" I have at the end of the video? Yaaayyy! Last month, I had some little technical issues with the software I use for the giveaways. But fear not everyone, this time around all you need to enter is to leave a comment in the comment section on the YouTube video after watching to enter and that's it! You can write about the video, the fabrics, or anything you want to tell me! Preview of the giveaway down below:

Bundle of Joy Giveaway

Hello lovelies!

Today I have a special treat for all of you! I'm going to give you a chance to win a colorful bundle of my fabrics, or what I like to call your very own 'bundle of joy.'

As most of you know, I'm inspired by all the beauty that surrounds me. All those pretty little everyday things are what stimulate me to design. From gorgeous magazine clippings to flowers blooming in my garden, these simple beauties are what have sparked my fabric collections.

Once I'm done designing, I can't wait until the final production comes in and I have all my fabrics in hand to start making all sorts of goodies, from dresses and shirts, to handbags and quilts!

This is the part that amazes me the most. My very own fabrics, that were created from all the beautiful inspiration surrounding me, have now become their own form of inspiration for you to create!

Whenever I see a bundle of fabrics with a fascinating color story, my imagination starts working, thinking of quilts, table runners, clothing... just about anything! I just love the fact that inspiration is in the form of anything and everything. It just brings me great joy!

When it came time to selecting a set of colors that would become part of my new line of threads for Aurifil, I found myself staring at this one bundle that just seemed SO right! The colors were the right mix of deep and rich, with bright and intense. I instantly started to select the colors for the box set that I would later name 'Bold Beauty.'

My sweet dears, this is the bundle that inspired the 'Bold Beauty' box set for Aurifil! Not only do I have a 12 spool set of this gorgeous array of colors, but now I have a new mini spool collection.

 This bundle inspired me to select my thread colors. What does this bundle inspire you to make?

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below with your answer to, "what does this bundle inspire you to make?" Two lucky winners will win this fat quarter bundle of joy!

For a second chance to win you can enter on my FaceBook page.

Contest ends Friday, the 13th, and winners will be announced Monday, the 16th.

Good luck!

And the winners are...

The Quilt Market giveaway has come to an end. A big thank you to all who entered! And thank you for all of your kind congratulations and comments. You sure know how to make a girl smile! So... what bag pattern did I mention in my Quilt Market recap video? The correct answer was: the Barcelona bag!

Quilt Market Recap and Giveaway!

Hello lovelies!

I'm so thrilled to be back from Spring Quilt Market and be able to share with you these juicy pictures of my booth, "Carnaby Street!" It was truly a wonderful experience and I had a blast seeing everyone again and meeting great new people.

When it came time to design my booth, I thought, wouldn't it be great if I could share the fun and groovy moments from my video with all of you? And that's when it hit me! Why not bring the elements of the video to life and be able to transport you into the 1960s? I took the geometric black and white wall and used it as a main focal point. I even created a collage of photos that initially inspired me to design this collection. So, welcome to my Carnaby Street!

For the booth, I wanted tons and tons of products! I made series of Carnaby bags, ranging from my patterns, the Barcelona Bag to the Essential Tote. I made a bunch of groovy pillows with giant florals and, one of my favorites, the PEACE pillow.

My all-time favorite project that I've made for Carnaby Street is the Union Jack cover made from some of the prints of the collection! With a simple top and a backing fabric, you can create your very own couch cover to add that touch of color and design you need to any room!

And here I am with all the AGF designers: Bonnie Christine, Leah Duncan, Bari J., Jeni Baker, and Angela Walters! I love these ladies so much and they were a complete blast to hang with during Market!

I am so thrilled, overjoyed, and truly blessed to have won FIRST PLACE SINGLE BOOTH! I tried not to cry in the pictures, so this is the best one of me, not in tears. Even today, I still can't believe it!

Since I love sharing all my experiences with you, it's no surprise that I have a special video for all of you! Come with me to Portland, OR and experience the groovy times I had in this Spring Quilt Market in the video below.

NOW TIME FOR a GIVEAWAY!
What bag pattern did I mention in the video? Leave the name of the bag pattern on this blog post. Two lucky people will win the pattern AND the Carnaby Street fabric necessary to make the bag!

Giveaway ends 06/10/2013 at 11:59pm.

THE CONTEST IS OVER.

 

A Groovy Giveaway!

Hi lovelies!

How is everyone's week doing?! Mine is doing great! It's been unusually cold down here in Miami for March, so I've been catching up on my Netflix queue while preparing some juicy projects for my next Quilt Market in Portland. My friends, you have no idea how much in love I am with Carnaby St... And with spring coming along, the colors are so bright and fun that I find really selfish on my part to only sew with them myself, so I thought if you would like to sew with them too?!

If you do, I'm giving away a fat quarter bundle from this line to 4 lucky winners! You choose the color way!

To enter, leave any comment you would like to write about the collection. If you didn't have a chance to see all the prints, you can check them out here. If you like my page on Facebook, you are in for a second chance to win... (just mention it on your comment).  Be sure to share this giveaway on your Facebook wall if you like to tell your friends about it :-)

International readers welcome. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave your email address with your comment.

The 4 winners will be drawn and announced next Friday, APRIL 5 at 3:00 pm EST.

Good luck everyone and thank you for participating!

Lots of love, Pat
