Well, almost. We have our Reunion quilts finished, photographed and have our pattern covers designed. The only thing we are missing is our Reunion Tote Bag pattern (not named yet) because we haven't received the canvas that goes with the collection. But at least we have the quilts done!
We are going to try something new this time. We are always asked "are you going to have kits for those patterns?" And our reply is usually, um... I don't know. We then get the fabric, sell some of it, cut most of it into kits for the Label Crew, then just hoard the rest- thinking that someday we will absolutely need it! But we never seem to get the quilt kits cut.
But this time, we are going to offer the kits. There is a little catch- you have to preorder if you want one. That way, we know when the fabric comes in how much we need for the kits. One more catch- we have to put our fabric order in at Quilt Market next week, so we need to know how much to order. Which basically means, if you want one, you have a week to order it on our Etsy site. If you do that, you are assured of getting the kit you want, with the exact fabric as in the sample. If you don't order within the next week, we may have some left after the fabric gets here, but we can't guarantee it. The last catch- the fabric doesn't arrive until January, so you will have to wait until then to actually get the kit.
Okay, so now that I have explained that, we can do something fun. We are giving away the complete set of Reunion patterns to one lucky winner. Just leave us a comment and let us know which pattern is your favorite.
Our favorite? That's an easy one. We all three have the same favorite. Which means when it comes time to divide up the quilts and take them home, two of us are going to leave with a broken heart. We all love Zig Zag (such a creative name- we obviously had a serious case of naming block that day). I am staring at that quilt right now as I am typing. I love you Zig Zag. Someday you will be coming home with me. Or not. I'll let you know.
My mom's favorite should be Heartstrings. She had so much fun putting the bunting on all those hearts.
Well, she wouldn't exactly call if "fun". But they sure are cute!
We will choose a winner next week. Have a great weekend!
Hey guys, wondering when your heartstrings pattern will be available to purchase. Kind regards Louise.

I love apron strings and zig zag. I really like the navy color and have not used any navy for any projects so I can't wait to add a new color to my stash!

I was meant to be ironing this afternoon, but the postman arrived with your new book......a little behind now. I just logged on to tell you how much I loved it and lo and behold...more loveliness. Wrinkly clothes are cool, right, because I've got too much sewing to do!! Favourite quilt? Always love a zig-zag x
Posted by: Nicola | Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 07:24 AM
Heartstrings is my favourite looks so fresh and creative. I can only imagine the feeling in the cold morning to be covered with that pink beauty.

Apron Strings was my first favourite, and I think Zig Zag would be a close second.
Beautiful work as usual ladies!!

Who wouldn't love to win any of these patterns let alone all of them. I think I'm partial to heartstrings.

I LOVE the heartstrings quilt - the bunting, the blanket stitching...so, so cute!!!
Posted by: Melody | Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 02:00 PM
Love the quilts. I'm having a hard time choosing between two - zig zag and apron strings. I think apron strings wins but I suspect both with make it home with me :-)
