More patterns and the winner...

The winner of our Hometown patterns is

Ruth, who wrote

I've got a crush on this fabric so bad, but I love the sparing, tantalizing way it's used in Intersection, it's definitely my favorite.

Congratulations, Ruth!.  Please e-mail us with your mailing address at info@sweetwaterscrapbok.com.  The patterns will be ready in a few weeks.

The other day while we were taking photos of the quilts in Fort Collins, I totally forgot to get a photo for the cover of our Quilt Market catalog.  Oops.  So, luckily there is a cute little spot in Fort Morgan where we could set up something.  I also had a cute little helper.  We needed the cover, plus a couple of little patterns we just finished up.

 

Here is a our Mug Mats in hometown fabric:

 

And the cutest little house pincushion (this will be a club project next fall, when we get the fabric).

 

Today, we finally finished our new bag.  The pattern is called "Down Home Tote".

 
Here is the inside:

 

I think that should be it for the new patterns.  Unless we get another idea between now and Quilt Market.  Oh, and we also got the catalog cover photo last night:

 

One last thing-  for those of you waiting for the Label Crew fabric kit, they are up on our Etsy site now!

I adore the bag and the table runners and place mats. A fantastic way to use pretty, bright and funky patterns to brighten up a kitchen even on the dullest of days.

Cute, cute, cute! Like everyone else, I love that bag! (And your helper is adorable too, what a smile!)

[Teresa]

Holy moses! That is the cutest bag! I think everything is cute with these fabrics! I love the colors and prints!

[Mary Marble]

Another tote bag fan here - can't wait for the pattern to be available!

[Christa]

I can't wait for the pattern for that bag!!! It is fantastic!!!

[Cindy]

I absolutely love the tote bag. When will the pattern be for sale. Just rec'd my May label crew club kit. Cute idea. Had to come look at the web to see what the sewing organizer looked like in Etsy!

Keep up the great work and good luck at the show!

[Regina Anne]

Love. Love. Love. the patterns for the new fabric line. And, was so cool that in two pictures my beloved Oklahoma City was there in print!! Can't wait for this fabric, patterns and kits to come out. Love all your designs, but this one just hits the ball out of the ballpark for me - thank you so much!

[Gina.S]

I want the tote bag pattern, awesome! Beautiful pictures. It's like christmas all year long with you guys, and i hate the waiting part! :)

I love love <3 the new totoebag! and I love the pincushion house... I'm pretty sure i have that same disease that someone else spoke of... the "I wants" ;) See you at Market!!!

[Marja]

OK, so I'd like a kit for the bag, the pincushion AND the mug mats. Or is that too much to ask? They are all just wonderful! Well done, ladies!

[Sharon]

LOVE that tote -- gotta have it. Will there be a kit? Hope so!

[Cheryl]

Congrats Ruth!!!
I Love that BAG!!! Can't wait for that pattern to be released. I'd even LOVE it made from Sunshine!!! What an awesome summer bag that would be. I'm going to have to stop visiting your site for a while because I'm sick, sick, sick!!! It's a recently diagnosed disease called "The I Wants" the sypmtoms come on suddenly, everything and I mean everything you see you want!! There is NO cure, remission is usually very brief. Oh yeah, you get what you want, but then you come back only to see new stuff and then oops you're re-infected and...."You Want More!!!!"
So until a later time... (maybe after market).

I need to wipe my laptop now....drool everywhere! LOL The house pincushion and the bag are awesome!

[Jeni]

My husband has never liked a fabric before but I think he will like something I make out of this new hometown. Traveling is one of our favorite things and we have been to sooo many of these towns. My favorite lines have been recess by American Jane and your authentic but I think this Hometown is going to top them both...when does it start selling? I love ALL of these pics of the quilts and things...good luck!

[Miwako]

I love the catalog cover photo! The tote is cute, too.

[Mary Grace McNamara]

My goodness but I love that word fabric! And that tote is just fabulous! And that little boy with the dimples...C U T E! I'll take one to go please :)

LOVE the down home tote. i have really been into making bags this past year. Can't wait for that pattern. And in that fabric! Love it!

[Carol Campbell]

I'm already salivating over that adorable irresistible house pin cushion! OH MY GOODNESS GLORY! Houses are favorites of mine in whatever way they come....love love love the house quilt but this pin cushion is just the absolute berries.....that pattern needs to be winging its way to my studio as soon as it is hot off the presses. How long do I have to wait for it as well as the fabric???? Cutest thing I have seen in a loooooong time.

[Melinda]

I love the bag - can't wait to get the fabric and the pattern. I hope to meet you at market.

[amber]

Beautiful catalog cover and very adorable helper!!

[Lindsi H]

That bag is absolutely to die for...I think the pattern is great but in combination with the fabric it just pops! I would love to make one of my own.

[Kristy]

I love the bag! Is the pattern available now?

[Angela]
