Slowly getting the downloadable patterns up and ready to go. Thank you so much for the warm welcome the Monterey Market Bag has received so far!!! I had a feeling there was a want out there for patterns you could get your hands on immediately. You know, sometimes you just need to make something right now!
Here's the newest, the Metro Bag, ready to go. Easy, reversible, roomy. I love the shape on this one and the way it hangs. It's got cute pleats at the top that give it a nice detailed look. Hope you like it!! Many more downloadable patterns to come, one at a time, slow and steady.
Husband is getting some hardware out of his leg from his freak beach accident last summer that left him with a mangled leg so I wanted to get this up before all extra time is spent waiting on his cute self hand and foot.
Hey, did you go to market?? How was it? Found myself wishing I had attended. So much beauty and inspiration was to be found this time from the pics I've seen.
And the long awaited winner of the giveaway is.......Sunni Standing http://www.thecupcakegoddess.com/
Thank you Sunni! Please contact ljanewhelan@gmail.com to receive your patterns. We'll send out your Fat Quarter Shop fat quarter pack as soon as they get them in November. Thank you so much to all who entered. Over 600 this time which blew me away. You have no idea how much it means to read such incredibly kind things about my work. That sounds like a platitude but trust me, it ain't!!! It makes everything I do worthwhile, truly and it just touches me plain and simple. THANK YOU!!!!!!
xoxo

Can you even believe? I was reading your blog today, which by the way is 12/6/09, and wondering how people in the comments on this post knew my name. Oh dear! I'm so dumb, I was the winner and had no idea. How awfully rude of me! Please accept my sincere apologies for no winning gracefully. I love everything you do Tanya! You're new fabric collection is simply stunning.
