3 for THREE

FINALLY...
I got around to taking pictures of this quilt and writing up the pattern for it!


I love this quilt so much!
Maybe you don't know this about me but 
I am a fan of all things understated.


I am drawn to things that are beautifully simple.
Not just in quilting either.
But also in the way I dress and decorate my home.
I really believe that less is more.


All of the patterns I create have one intention behind them....
I want people to look at them and think "I could totally make that!"
It is my wish that people who desire to take up quilting 
might be inspired by one of my simple patterns.
I keep them simple for that reason alone.

On that note, let's do a giveaway!


Three people will have the chance to win 
THREE PATTERNS OF THEIR CHOICE!
All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which 3 you would choose.
Look here if you're not sure.
If you're a follower you can enter twice.
This giveaway will end on Friday.

The Frankie pattern is now available in my store!


*I used Parisville, Heirloom, Kumari, and Cabernet in the making of this quilt*


GIVEAWAY CLOSED

    I love this new pattern. I love all of your patterns, actually! I would love the nina, max, and shelby.

    I think we have the same goals! I look at some of the crazy complex quilts people make and I am not usually a fan. You are so good at coming up with simple and new quilt designs that I haven't ever seen!

    Can't wait to meet up with ya!

    So excited to make this! I love that it looks like the quilt is dressed up in a bow-tie to go someplace fancy. It's so great! I'd pick this one, googly eyes, and Katie (I think those are the only 3 I don't have)!

    Since I just bought the Nina pattern (to use with my precious LouLouThi fabric), I would choose the Frankie, Zooey, and Katie patterns. I think the Katie would be perfect to make with Lizzy House's new Guising fabric because it reminds me of candy corn :) Too cute!
