Last Market Giveaway and I Sewed...

Monday, May 23, 2011

Hi Everyone,

Yep, it's true I have run out of Sample Spree goodies to give away. So here is our last one a fat eighth pack of Ruby. I love Ruby but I didn't think it fit with the aesthetic of my shop so I did not buy it to sell. That doesn't mean I don't love it but it was one of the hard decisions I had to make while at Market. Rules at the end of the post.

I had the good fortune to be able to buy some brand new designers that I think are going to rock everyone's socks. I already introduced you to Marisa and Meet The Gang.  Now let me introduce you to Thomas Knaur and Pear Tree.

I met Thomas because my friend Sally and he are Twitter friends. Actually, that is how I met a lot of people Sally gets around (don't take that wrong Sally :) )  I am pretty certain she knew everyone there. Sally wanted to see Thomas' new fabric line with Andover so she came to my appointment with me. The minute I saw Pear Tree I knew I had to have it... and as luck would have it Thomas came into the booth just as I was finishing up my appointment so Sally and I took pictures with him (remember I said I hadn't had any sleep, check out the bags under my eyes)


Thomas started sewing for his daughter and took his show on the road with etsy he is Waycoolkid. Love his style so much! I wish I had a little one to dress still. Go see Pear Tree on my coming soon page.

Yesterday, I finally took an hour or two for myself and whipped up this little quilt:


This was a super fast and easy pattern (I tweeked it a little) it only took me a couple hours to get the top done. The original pattern has applique but I didn't think it fit with the medallions so I left it off. This will be a free pattern included in my first newsletter which I will have out by the end of the month.

I am on call for jury duty this week (yuck) wish me luck.

Rules for the giveaway:

1. Leave a comment about what your favorite colorway of Pear Tree is.
2. Become a follower and comment that you did or let me know that you already are.

Giveaway is open until next Monday, May 30th at midnight PST.

  6. I have said this before, but I will say it again... I love Pear Tree in Blush LOL. Good luck with the Jury duty, I have never been asked to do that but I have been in Court many times..... NO!!!!! not because I committed a crime silly, I use to work for Solicitors years and years ago and had to go to Crown Court to assist the Barristers. Loved it. You will be okay as long as it isn't a boring case.....

  43. I usually don't even think about the answer to questions like this. My automatic answer is always blue (or in this case it would be azure). However, the Blush colorway has stolen my heart.

  94. I'm already a follower and love following :)

    ReplyDelete
  95. Love all three but leaning towards the blush (must be my one year old daughters influence).

    ReplyDelete
  96. OH MY!!! I can't believe it! I am soooooo in LOVE with RUBY!!!! I am holding my breath waiting for it to hit stores and can't believe you are doing a giveaway for it! Of all the giveaways out there, this is by far the best!!!! I am a little sad to hear you aren't carrying it, though, I wanted to buy it from you!

    For pear tree, it is a very hard choice, but I think I am leaning toward blush, and my DH is leaning toward azure. I love the print with the tree the best though, it is so lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I think that the Azure is amazing, but the other two are still so cute! Very inspirational!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I am following you, faithfully!

    That is a great quilt, and a job well done. I am so glad you got some time to sew.

    Jury duty stinks... if you tell them you are related to a police officer, they usually let you out (it makes you sympathetic to the prosection, I guess). If you don't know anyone, then my husband (an officer) says to tell that that an officer told you that no one even goes to court unless there is plenty of evidence, so you are already sure he's guilty. :) Unless of course you want to go. Then at least you can feel good knowing you did your share.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I love both the blue and the green colorways - my two favorite colors.

    ReplyDelete
  100. the pinks, but I would buy the blues to widen my horizons.

  133. I love the blues but the pink and brown also calls to me. Good luck with jury duty. I wouldn't mind it so much if I could have handwork to keep my hands busy. I often crochet during meetings, nothing hard or that requires thinking. I say it helps me focus.

    ReplyDelete
