Bag giveaway

Good Morning to all, over at Kirstie's blog she is having this great giveaway of this bag. Pop over and have a look. Kirstie also has a esty site to purchase some other great products.

Since last posting I have been pattern writing which is more difficult and time consuming than I thought. I have now written two complete patterns and are on to a 60 x60 quilt pattern now.The tote patterns are going off to be tested by a dear friend. The problem when I am designing is I start off with one idea and it multiplies into many more just like amoeba. I am going to spend this week writing patterns and then over the next few weeks I will produce the samples. So I can photograph them. When I am away from the computer I am still producing hexagons for light relief in the evenings. I think I have made around 20 flowers at this point, with more to come.
P.S The tote giveawy is still happening as soon as it comes back from testing

Pattern design A new Blog site

Good morning to all. Both of the sample totes are finished and now I am up to finishing writing the patterns and they are almost ready to go. I will giveaway the pattern to celebrate nearly 50 postings within the next few weeks. I need to spend some time on photoshop and take some photos. As part of the research into this pattern could you please make a comment about your loves and hates about patterns so I can try and make the pattern easier to use. I know I like clear instructions with diagrams but others like photographs. please tell me what you like to get out of a pattern.
Over on http://yellowbirdart.blogspot.com/ I found a great blog and retail store with ten great giveaways and images of Spring Market. Please have a look.
