News....

This post is a bit like a chat over the garden wall...... I'm passing information on.... it's not gossip... nothing scandoulousy juicy to pass on ... but you may find it interesting..

Amy Butler is going to be holding a contest to celebrate the one year anniversary of her Midwest Modern fabric range. This includes fabric from both the Midwest Modern and the Midwest Modern 2 ranges, which includes designs such as the 'Fresh Poppies in Green'

the 'Martini' designs, with their pretty spots

....

Martini in yellow'...

She's also celebrating the launch of Amy Butler Softwares from 'The Electric Quilt Company'. If you follow the link you'll see that her new CD of Sewing projects has .......

" 22 unique and stylish projects for quilts, pillows, bags and more – plus 9 bonus projects! You can make my projects as designed – or customize them in thousands of possible ways using the software's tools and virtual swatches of my fabrics. "

I would so like this CD.... it seems to be available for order from Amy's own website but I've no information from Rowan yet about actual supplies to the UK. But, it's early days....

So, the if you're a person who likes to take part in contests then and I quote "

The rules of the contest are quite easy - have your customers create a project using my Midwest Modern fabric. That's it! They should email a picture of their project to [email protected] The contest dates will begin on June 1st & continue through September 15th so everyone has plenty of time to create! I will be adding a flickr page to my website where I will showcase all of these wonderful projects."

There is also a PDF which you can download and peruse, which you can reach by clicking on the 'New' Button on Amy's website (Link), scroll down a little and you'll see the link to the PDF.

So, get creating.... I know some of you have already created some beautiful things from Midwest Modern so think about joining in with this.

Did I mention the prizes... there just a little bit important to know about if you're taking part in contest aren't they?

I (Amy) will choose the 10 winners in late September and they will each receive a wonderful prize package of Midwest Modern fat quarters, a selection of my sewing patterns and a signed copy of my new Softwares from The Electric Quilt Company.

So, join in and get creating...... and don't forget to add your sewing projects to Amy's Flickr group when it becomes available...

I would love to take part in this. I do not have clue what to make, there is plenty of time so i shall pnder over it for a bit. Are you going to enter? I have just used some of the Amy Bulter fabric I won in one of your giveaways. I shall be posting it over the weekend. I have signed up for a quilt project whereby a quilt gradually grows as it is posted around the world.
