Anyway, I'm here and I'm ready to show off my newest pattern and giveaway fabric. So, put your behinds in chairs(not a requirement, just a suggestion) and we'll get started.
First off, check out the cute, little promo image I made for the pattern.
I made each letter a different color and I'm not computer savy enough to do that in one fell swoop, so I had to do it one.letter.at.a.time.
Did I mention that this pattern actually teaches you how to make the template piece yourself, using your very own plate that is probably sitting in you cupboard anxiously awaiting some purpose other than holding your strudel?
Did I also mention that this pattern includes information about exactly which Moda Cross Weave cottons I used to make the sample color wheels?
Did I mention that I'm giving away 2 copies of this pattern to one of you lucky and potentially seated people?
And...and... did I mention that Wendy over at The Fabric Quarter is giving this away?
So, if you'd like a chance to win, sit right down and leave a comment.
I have to go. I'm betting I need to drive/pick-up somebody.
wow -- what fun! I've just "found" you, and have ordered your book, so I look forward to a lot of color in the future. And thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour pattern is so fun, and those fat quarters are amazing! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the pot holders/coasters! I remember the days of running my kids around like crazy .. no time to do anything else. I was in a hurry for them to get their driver's licenses and then I worried about where they were .. and now they're out of the house. :(
ReplyDeleteThe color wheel pot holders are stunning. Hoorah for a giveaway, & thanks for squeezing us in amongst your busy-ness!
ReplyDeleteI bought the cross-weaves when they first came out... and then recently got to use them again for a VQB - and I think the quality has improved tremendously (not that it was bad before, but it's amazing now!)... Can't wait to get my hands on some of this fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love these potholders! So cute and the colors are just beautiful! Oh my!
ReplyDeleteWho can resist fabric folded so beautifully!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks.

ReplyDeleteI'm sitting. I'm commenting. I'm hoping I win.
ReplyDeletethese are gorgeous! love that you use a plate instead of a template! :)
ReplyDeleteWe must think alike. I used a plate from my cupboard recently to make a pattern for a mug rug. Love your pot holders/coasters and the fabric is gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteNice looking solids! Thanks for the chance to win:)
ReplyDeleteWhen working in the Art room at school my eyes are always drawn to the colour wheel - because, well its just so lovely and beautifully colourful! Not to mention being a great teaching tool to help kids understand how to use contrasting and complimentary colours in their work.
ReplyDeleteNever thought I'd see one in the kitchen though! What a great idea! You've also sold me on using 'solids' as i am usually drawn to patterns.
Your work is awesome as usual :-)
I love the potholders!

Malka, my afternoon was just like YOUR ENTIRE day.
