mixed with 1 part easy-to-follow instructions for a beautiful and useful item,
Sprinkle in a wonderful new sponsor,
Top all that with a giveaway of both fabric and pattern as well as a discount code that gives you 15% off each item ordered through October 31 and you've got a treat that will have you loosening your belt and saying, "What the hell, I'll run an extra lap tomorrow."
Pretty tempting recipe, right? Well, I whipped it up in celebration of my new collaboration with The Fabric Quarter as well as the release of my latest sewing pattern, Hex Pot Holders. This wonderful online and bricks and mortar shop has an amazing array of modern, fun fabrics from Robert Kaufman, Moda, Cloud 9, and so much more.
In fact, the fabrics I used for these pot holders:
were chosen from the awesome selection of cottons available at The Fabric Quarter.
To spread the love that is great fabric at a great price and used in a fun and functional pattern, The Fabric Quarter has even created a kit that includes all the fabrics I used in my pot holders, heat-resistant batting, and my Hex Pot Holders pattern.
But wait,( I have long wanted to use this phrase), that's not all. The Fabric Quarter is giving away 3 of these 8, fat quarter(how appropriate is that?) bundles.
They are folded into these amazingly cute stars and topped with a tape measure. The packaging is adorable.
Now I'm regretting having said,"that's not all," already because there's so much more.
The three lucky winners of the fabric stars will also receive a free copy of my Hex Pot Holders Pattern and The Fabric Quarter is offering a 15% discount on all items purchased between now and October 31 to all my readers. All you have to do is include the code POTHOLDERS15 when you checkout.
Forget the recipe metaphor, this is a smorgasbord of good stuff.
So, if you'd like an opportunity to win all you have to do is leave a comment along with your email. The email serves two purposes: 1. I can easily inform you when you are the big winner(s). 2. The Fabric Quarter would like to be able to update you on all their terrific products and sales. Don't worry. Your email won't be offered up to anyone else and you can always unsubscribe if you find you don't enjoy browsing beautiful fabric.
I'll take comments through October 31 and announce the winners on November 1. Good Luck!

Inspired by you, I have been quilting mostly with my own hand-dyed fabrics. However, the fat quarters you have selected are amazing, evoking your own work in color and brightness. And I need them for my kitchen.
love it! those are beautiful... and what a great idea for gifts. i used to give people those ones made with loops on a loom when i was little, but this would show that i've come a long way in regards to crafts!

Hi Malka;
While I do love your blog and enjoy reading the comments I don't necessarily want to receive the many hundreds of them in my inbox. Apparently I have done something wrong when adding myself as a follower. I am a newbie at this blog thing so can you offer any suggestions as to how to stop the avalanche of e-mails? Thanks!
Dianne- I had no idea it was even possible as a blog follower to receive the comments from my blog as emails. I too follow several blogs and have not had this issue. I would check your settings with blogger. You may have inadvertently checked a box that needs to be unchecked.
Great fabric. Love the potholders.
Hi Malka;
It was as easy as clicking "Unsubscribe to the comments for this post" at the bottom of your response. who knew!!
:-)
Those fabrics are beautiful. I was just thinking of making some potholders for friends.

WOW, I've been eyeing the potholders since you first posted about them. I even asked if perhaps you had a tutorial for them! I gave them my best shot but mine didn't turn out too well. So glad to be able to get my hands on a pattern. Great holiday gifts, don't you think?
