It's that time of year again! Sew Mama Sew are holding the first of their twice yearly giveaway days/weeks. We love a giveaway around here so we had to join in again :) With no firm idea of what we were going to offer up this time round I went to bed Saturday night with the seed of an idea...what would happen if I paired > with +...Strange but true! I woke up Sunday morning with the beginning of a plan and after much faffing around with paper, pencil and ruler I was ready to start making. I grabbed a stack of Japanese fabrics from Polka dot tea fabrics, a dash of Vintage Happy by Lori Holt, some precious Dream On from Moda and some luscious denim yarn dyed linen. With plenty of encouragement from the lovely gang on Instagram I've ended up with this:
We thought it would be nice to let the winner decide whether they would like this to be a cushion or a wall-hanging. It's going to finish up around 24" square! So to be in with a chance to win this (finished by me obviously!):
Please leave a comment here with a name suggestion for this pattern.
For a bonus chance to win, leave another comment to let us know if you are a follower, new or regular
The winner will be chosen by random number generator.
There will also be a small surprise gift for the best pattern name so get your thinking caps on :) If you check back on 17th May you might just find the templates for this design waiting for you, just saying ;)
The giveaway is open to everyone. The draw will close on Friday 16th May at 5pm PST but as we're in the UK and will be sound asleep at the equivalent 1am you might sneak in before I wake up on the 17th May. So now all that's left for you to do is go visit some of the other fab giveaways.
Catch you soon x
Edited to add: Please excuse me if I don't manage to reply to all the comments on this giveaway post :)
Edited to add the winners are Catrin Lewis and Sarah@Sew Me.

ReplyDeleteHow about Nellie's Knots? Gorgeous piecing!
ReplyDeleteFollow (some may say stalk) you here and IG!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. I can definitely see why people are suggesting stained glass window names, but in the interests of trying too hard to be original, and my eye has focused on the multicoloured circles, would fruit polos mean anything to a non-UK audience?
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm, I do like Sarah's suggestion of Nellie's Knots. I don't have any hanging space left in the house and rather disgustingly have no handmade cushions so I'd go for the cushion cover please x
ReplyDeleteAnother stalker!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've just followed you in my Feedly reader, not least so I see it when you release the templates!
ReplyDeleteLattice peek-a-boo. It's kind of an I-spy quilt but looking through a lattice!

ReplyDeleteI think this would make a beautiful miniquilt to add to a collection or to start a new one! Love seeing those mini quilt walls in various places over blogland.
ReplyDeleteMy first though was Stained Glass Something-or-Other but all sorts of the different words popping up make sense; lattice, knots, tiles. Depending on the colour placement it could be anything, I like that! 'Bits and Pieces' comes to mind.

As I scrolled down the comments to get to the bottom I caught sight of a suggestion of 'Nellie's Knobs' which immediately caught my eye, as you can imagine! Upon scrolling back I realised that Sarah had actually suggested 'Nellie's Knots', which makes a great deal more sense but doesn't make me smile quite as much!

ReplyDeleteHow about Church Garden…like you are keeping through the stained glass to peek at the garden when they really should be paying attention to the sermon :)

ReplyDeleteGothic Minster (like the York Minster, for example; minsters being like cathedrals and they have stained glass windows). I was going to say Medieval Minster, but I don't think that's as historically accurate.
