a little remiss of me….so a giveaway

'

   it seems in  the rush and excitement of pre market jitters I have neglected to actually show you my newest fabric range! Actually it was more rush than excitement with my fabric samples arriving only 6 days before I left for America….

so as you can understand a blog post about this exciting event was put to the bottom of the list as I sewed feverishly for 6 days and nights to get a whole booth display finished, written, photographed, added to catalogues, printed and packed to catch that flight…

so, thankyou to those who have asked, you have reminded me to show you all – not just those who have seen peeks on my Facebook page.

so, presenting my second range for Red Rooster Fabrics!

Nice People Nice Things

Yes it is based on a few of my drawings from the very popular Nice People Nice Things Block of the week quilt.

it is a small collection of only 19 different skus (fabrics) with a main panel type print, two conversationals and the rest lovely useable blenders.

The reds in this line are a little brighter and the blues have gone with a lovely tone of teal/aqua added in. This range can actually look totally different depending on what fabrics you pull to combine in a project from soft and pretty

to quite bright and fresh

  and even a little neutral -

  I think the cameo spot is one of my favourites… and I will confess I think it will always be exciting to see my name on the selvedge… yes I actually did that – is that being pompous? – I don’t mean it to be but I never thought I’d EVER have the skills or the opportunity to design my own fabrics..  

There are some goodies I designed just for you too! This is the free pattern you can get from stores when you purchase any of this fabric range – Hexie go-go – its a very simple raw edge method which means you can whip this quilt up in a day using a little of most of the fabrics..

I also whipped up these two table toppers using the feature panel print… ask your local store to get these patterns also for free for you…

and finally – yes, what you have been waiting for – a fabric giveaway…. I have several flats of the panel fabric to giveaway…

And I’ll include the pattern for the table toppers above also..

I will give away one flat (they are one repeat of the panel) for every ten comments on this post… So as I have been away from blogland for a bit – you may need to spread the word, share/link the post on your blog, tell your friends, share it on facebook.. the more comments the more chances you have of winning a panel…

Hope you love my Nice People Nice Things fabrics……and please send me pics if you spot them anywhere – OR you make your own masterpiece using them….

hugs for today,

Helen
