Celebrating my "New Look" with a Giveaway!...

Hello there bloggy-world....how do you like my new look?
I just decided it was time for a little bit of a change to brighten up my cold & snowy winter days....and I mean cold. Brrrrr!
So anywhoo....about the new header.... that little girl in her underwear... reading a book...and wearing pink curlers...and sitting under the hairdryer...is me in 1966.
The sad thing is that you can still find me the very same way...minus the hairdryer and of course substituting the book for your blog...lol.


The above photo is my new button which I am hoping you will add to your blog:) I of course am the one in the white cotton print dress wearing the bonnet (with a bee in it)...and you are the one in the fabulous red dress!
If you do add my new button to your blog...and blog about my giveaway...leave me a comment and let me know that you did and I will enter you in my giveaway!

No blog?...no problem. Just leave me a comment and tell me which of my patterns is your favorite. (make sure that you leave me your email)

What am I giving away you ask?
My answer is that I am giving away 3 of my patterns to the winner....the patterns will be the winners choice...any 3 that you choose!


You may want to choose my Family Reunion pattern...

Or my "eat CAKE"...

Or perhaps you might choose my very first applique pattern...Apron Club.

Or my newest pattern....Paper Dolls.

Feel free to click on all of my patterns on the right side of my blog for a closer look and decide which 3 patterns you might like.

I will close the giveaway on Monday, January 31st at midnight my time and announce the winner the very next day. Good luck to everyone who enters....

My Secret Project ...revealed!

I'm so excited! It seems like I have waited forever until I could show you what my secret project is....and now....today is the day!
But before I show you some rosey-cherry-daisy-polka dotty-gingham eye candy...

I am announcing the winner of my 1930's scraps giveaway.

The winner is Rhondi from "Rose Colored Glasses"....

Congratulations Rhondi....shoot me an email with your address and I'll ship your fabric to you ASAP!

A great big thank you with a cherry on top to everyone who left me all that bloggy love and entered the giveaway...watch for more giveaways coming soon!

Okay....now on to my obviously "not so secret anymore project".

I'm assuming that you can see I'm announcing my.... first fabric line!!!!!!....

called "Sew Cherry".....can I get a woot?

Oh my gosh...it's been sooo hard keeping this secret!

I'm excited that the line will come through Riley Blake which is a fairly new and also a very successful, creative company.

Designing my own fabric really is a dream come true and a long time in the making and I hope you all like what you see:)

Here is the story board showing the full line of "Sew Cherry". It will be displayed in the Riley Blake booth at Fall Market in Houston. It's now available for ordering through Riley Blake and the expected delivery will be in early spring!

"Sew Cherry" consists of 8 designs in 3 color ways with the addition of 3 solids (white,yellow and red) for a total of 27 different fabrics in the line.

Having the solids will be so helpful in all of the MANY, MANY patterns I have designed for the "Sew Cherry" line.

On the back of the story board you can see the dots that will be on the selvedge....showing all of the colors that I used in the line. I'm sure you aren't suprised by these colors as they are my normal palette to work with!

The colorways that I chose are....

Red and Yellow....

Blue and Brown...

...and Pink with Green.

All of the colorways have brown in them.

The main floral in Pink...

White.....

....and Butter Yellow.

I thought I would show you a larger view of the stripes as they were only able to put a small square photo of them within the colorways on the storyboard....

I chose to do the striped fabric in a large scale. I'm really happy with the way it turned out......the fabric is going to be so versatile to use in many projects .....and will also be perfect for fussy cutting!

I could only choose 3 colors to have my polka dot fabric and also my gingham fabric to be printed..... so I chose red, green and brown.

The other 3 colors that I wasn't able to choose were yellow, pink and blue....soooo....I put in them in as gingham and polka dots in the striped fabric! Yay! Now I have them in all six colors which is what I really wanted.

The polka dot sections in the stripe measure 5" wide and the gingham sections measure 3" wide so they will be plenty big enough to use for cutting quilt blocks and other things.

So there is the long explanation of my ginghams and polka dots!

And of course if you know me at all....I obviously would not design my first line of fabric without the addition of red gingham and also red polka dots.....both are my absolute favorite fabric to work with.

If you have been following my quilt designs throughout the years you know that I always use them in every quilt!

All of the images I am showing you are of course....on paper.

I won't be getting my actual fabric until after the first of the year:(

I can't wait to get my hands on it and sew it up into the patterns I have designed!....patience is NOT one of my virtues...LOL.

In the meantime....I am busy working on my second line....so what do you think my bloggy friends?

Do you like it?

Who wants my scraps?...
