I was just thinking...It's time for a giveaway!

Don't you think? I mean it's been a while. I've been neglecting.
Well, no more!

Let's see...what would be nice? I'm thinking... something to celebrate the newness of "Eden"; something that you can't buy anywhere till Spring.

How about a "Jelly Roll" and a "Layer Cake" cut from "Eden" fabrics and a couple of my new patterns??



Now if you don't know what a jelly roll is, let me explain. Its a 2.5" wide by 44" long cut of every fabric in the Eden line, plus a couple extras thrown in for good measure, all rolled up like a sweet roll, or a jellyroll if you will, and tied up in a bow.
The great thing about jellyrolls is you can make cool things with them, like bags and quilts and strip work baby skirts... AND you get to have a little sample of all of the fabrics in a collection without having to by a lot of yardage.

A Layer Cake is similar, but instead you get a 10" square of each of the fabrics, doubles of some, so you can make other cool things! My Halle Rose baby Blanket Pattern is made from Layer Cakes. Maybe I'll throw that in too!
The two newest patterns will be in the gift box too, so you can try them out before anyone else gets to! As I'm writing this, I don't even have them back from the printer yet...so let's just hope they come in a timely fashion!

The prizes will be given to the person whose name is drawn from the comment pool. You must leave a comment, (hopefully a nice one), and post a link to the contest on your blog if you have one. This will give you 5 extra entries. (If you don't have a blog, don't dismay...you still get an entry into the contest.) If you want even more chances to win, tell me what you would make with a jelly roll or a layer cake if you had one. I'll give you 5 more entries for that.

So there you have it... Good Luck!



Oh, and one more thing...Sometimes those fortune cookies you get with Chinese food are a crock of, well you know. But sometimes they actually have hidden truths, or not so hidden truths. Sometimes they actually come true, but so far not for me.
But I really, REALLY liked the one I got last night, and thought I'd share it with all of you, for some good karma or something. (Is that how you spell Karma???) Anyway...it can apply to all of us through the magic of Blogworld. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Thanks a million for all of your awesome comments/ideas/compliments/creativity!

The contest will go on while I am away at market.
My two new patterns are here...available for order on my right sidebar. (If the link doesn't show the new patterns yet, just hang on a sec...they'll be there any minute!) Just think of all the cute pillows and bedding you could make for yourself, or for loved ones!

I am not usually a fan of the big floral graphic fabrics, but this one has me making a note to track it down when it is released. I like the softer colors of the violets, greens, pinks, & yellows.
I think I need a girly quilt for the rocking chair. I would also share some with my quilting friends in the form of either cute little baskets or mini-bags.
I am off to blog about this at http://toggpine.wordpress.com

Beverly said...

I don't have a blog, BUT if I had a jelly roll that beautiful I would make a special little girl a quilt.
Your fabric is beautiful!

Lauren J. Hutchins said...

I just love your bright, happy fabrics! I'm really into making baby quilts at the moment, and would use these fabrics to make one!

Avon_by_Amy said...

I am soooo in love with "Eden"! I discovered it at the Fat Quarter Shop in a charm pack and I keep thinking, "No! That's not enough!!" I need oodles of it! I know it's early, but I've been dying to make some summer dresses for my little girl for next year and I've already decided that "Eden" is the only fabric that will work for me! :)

La Dolce Boutique said...

OH my goodness! Your new fabric brought tears to my eyes...joyful, happy tears!

So, with the jelly roll I would make a strip patch work quilt within a rag quilt and with the layered cake I would make a more traditional rag quilt! Can you tell I love rag quilts!

I am posting a link to this on my blog right now! What an awesome giveaway!!!

Shaunab said...

Sheila said...

I just started searching for fabrics online and was so taken by your designs! I haven't sewn in a long time, but I'm hoping to make some cute bedding for my 2 year old daughter's room.

knittingdancer said...

With the layer cake I would make a baby blanket for my nephew's daughter.

rosanne.derrett@btinternet.com said...

Love this as much as Santorini - sofe colours but not too pastel. Can't wait to play when it finally arrives in the UK (if we are lucky)

Kristen said...

Love this line too. I have woodland bloom and my two daughters love it. As for fortune cookies, this is what my husband got when we went out for our first meeting with the parents in college. "You are domestically inclined and will be happily married." 18 wonderful years later we still laugh about it. Of course he tried to hide the fortune under the table then!:)

Bree's place. said...

wow! I love this new line! I keep planning what to do with my daughters room and this just ads more to think about! I love your new patterns, if I won, Id certainly make something for my girl's room....but what?? hmmm! either way I am going to grab some patterns and make something! love the ballenca bag, the bedding set, the apron, the new pillows (can one ever have enough pillows???) lol..thanks for so many beautiful designs.

Thistle Cove Farm said...

A whisper is quietly calling out to me...a quilt, a quilt... -smile-.
How beautiful is your work; the softness of the colors is magnificent!

LizzieTishBags said...

This latest collection is absolutely beautiful. If I won, I would use the jelly roll to make more of my patchwork portfolios, wallets, and coin purses.
I posted a link to your give away on my blog.

ange_moore said...

What gorgeous fabric - love the purple and green, may favourite colour combination! I would be so excited if I were the lucky winner - about to go and blog about it now! And what would I make? You can't beat a good jellyroll quilt and I've recently become besotted by one at The Green Fairy - "Strip This Quilt!" or "Strippin' Time".

Fiesta said...

Lila that fabric is so summery and fun. I would love to create something with it. I hope I win.

Pam said...

I think everyone who reads that fortune gets to share it with you!

I am trying to make each of my daughters a quilt. They are in their 20's and I used to sew their clothes when they were little, but I haven't made anything for them in ages. So, I decided to learn to quilt and make them each one.

karen said...

Such a generous giveaway! I can see some gorgeous bags, skirts and hats in that amazing fabric! : )

The Craft Gypsy said...

Oh my gosh, they are lovely fabrics! I would make a quilt for my daughter if I won. Great giveaway, thanks!

Sharon said...

Great fortune!
I love the color pallet of your new collection. My youngest granddaugter's fav colors are pink first and purple second, so a quilt for her would be the perfect
way do use the collection. Of course the fabric would be perfect for some garments for the "pink and purple" girl.
Sharon

Dandelion Quilts said...

Isn't this yummy!! I would use the jellyroll to make some bags for Christmas presents....I have a pattern I've been dying to use. I'd use the layer cake to make myself a quilt, LOL! I cannot bear to part with all of the beautiful fabric.

Anita in Florida said...

OMG your fabric is gorgeous!! Although I have 2 jelly rolls and a layer cake...I've never made anything YET...so I wouldn't have any definite plans for it's use...but I sure do love it!

This is a wonderful fabric line! I just found you and am loving it! If I won your fabric contest I would have to make a quilt for my granddaughter!

Sewcr8zy said...

I love your fabric! I would make 2 small quilts for each of my little Granddaughters, Anessa and Kaiya ( ages 1 and 2).

Paisley and Polka Dots said...

Nancy said...

I think I'd make a couch throw and matching pillows...

Yours Truly said...

OMG how can i win with 600+ comments!! Oh well your fabric is awesome and I would make a quilt with it. I bought new cutting ruler that cuts circles. SO you sew the jelly roll strips all together and then use the template to cut out circles it looks awesome. I have blogged in a few days so I think I need to and I will link back here. I hope I win!!

Hand Quilting Nana said...

Does the expression snowball chance in .... well I'd love to win of course. The fabric is simply gorgeous.

Thank you for your generousness.

Wonderful giveaway! THanks for the chance.

Michele said...

What a wonderful giveaway...
If I were lucky enough to win I'd make a summer quilt.

czereyna said...

Fabric like this makes me hope for spring before winter even arrives--although we have had snow on the mountains already. My daughter wants to redecorate her room. This fabric would be a great start for a quilt. Hope it works out!

Sequana said...

I'm seeing LOTS of great patterns for the pre-cuts. I'd have a hard time choosing, especially with your beautiful fabrics.

But I do have a couple granddaughters...I know they'd love something made with these.

Sarah Blue said...

I'm late to the contest, but want to enter anyways...just in case.

You material is beautiful. I found your blog linked from another site. I like what you have done.

Lyn O said...

I am also a late starter having just discovered your blog- I like the freshness of the colours and patterns in this range and it reminds me of the colours which are starting to appear here for spring in the Southern hemisphere. I would use the layer cake squares to make a quilt - you get the large variety of colour and pattern which makes them so versatile.

Barbara York said...

I would love to win this giveaway. I really like this new fabric line, if I win I have plans to make a quilt to go on my grand daughters bed and a purse for me. I think there will be enough for both. I have posted a link from my blog to here telling about your giveaway.

jane said...

I've just made your beautiful peasant blouse in the most awful fabric. Dropping in here reminds me of why I love the design. I need to use your fabric to make it! Then I'll be happy with my creation.

Hoping to win!:)

Martina Masini said...

Hi there. I'm new to quilting and in the stages of looking only.I think I would use the jelly roll and layer cake to make my first quilt for my stepdaughter. It's her first week at University and away from home. A quilt would be a great comfort.

Emma said...

Love your new fabric! I'll be making a delightful log cabin quilt for my dear sister Norma.

Buttercup Forrest said...

I am in love with your new Eden line. I'd use the jelly roll and layer cake to make my daughter a toddler bedding set. It was great to meet you at Quilt Market. I loved the boots you were wearing so much that I bought the pattern to make a pair for myself and for several people as Christmas gifts. I added a link to this post on my blog at www.buttercupforrest.blogspot.com
-Cheers

Ann said...

I love your designs. I keep asking all the local quilt shops to carry your designs. Until they do, I just visit the Fat Quarter Shop online. I love your fabrics to make baby quilts and darling dresses for my niece. She loves the soft fabric and floral designs. Keep on designing, you are fabulous.

grammie2maddie said...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all your fabric! So - it goes without saying - I'd love to have this yummy array!!

I keep trying to post my comment.. I hope it doesn't all of a sudden show up 4 times. Anyway, I love the softness of this new design. Would be wonderful in flannel, too.
If I won, I would make the SNAZZY BAG. Aka as THE HAPPY BAG!! (at least in our house) ; )

I love eden and cant wait to get some to use for whispy spring dress for my grandaughter next year. Cut the blocks smaller and use the jelly rolls as chenille over the seams and along the hemline. also for the staps on the dress and possiblu fuffles omn the dress...Sara J

Melissa said...

Oooh!! Please enter me into your draw for the samples of your beautiful new Eden collection! I love every thing you have ever designed! I would make a jelly filled quilt out of the jelly roll since that pattern from Thimble Blossoms is on the way to me now, and as for the layer cake, it would be the perfect excuse to find a new quilt pattern for it too ;)

Elisabeth said...

I LOVE all of your fabric lines! I honestly stay up at night dreaming of fun ways to use it all. Oh and by the way... being half Chinese I think fortune cookies are almost always right LOL.

babyduck13 said...

If I won the gorgeous layer cake and jelly roll, first...I would be shocked, second...I would make my daughter a "memory quilt." She is 3 years old and always wants to help. She can pass it on to her children and tell the story how she helped make the quilt, and it can be passed on from generation to generation. Your creativity is inspiring! Thank you, Babyduck
