I'm fairly new to sewing, and even newer to blogging - I started this blog about half a year ago after the last Sew, Mama, Sew! giveaway day. It was an avalanche of inspiration that led me to starting this blog, making my first quilts, and a new fabric addiction. So it's my turn to give back to the blogging community as part of another Sew, Mama, Sew! giveaway day.
The Feather colourway (on the right) includes a range of sizes from some large squares to fat eights to two fat quarters.
Aren't they gorgeous?!
And here's how to enter:
- I like to sew a bit of everything - accessories, quilts, clothes - but need some more patterns. Please leave me a comment telling me one of your favourite sewing patterns, designers or tutorials.
- For a second chance, leave another comment if you are already a follower of Ducks and Rabbits or have become one.
Thanks for visiting!

I have found a lot of patterns i love on the Noodlehead blog!

ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think I have a favourite designer of patterns. However, I do think Emily at Carolina Patchwork has some of the most interesting contemporary stand-alone quilt patterns that I've seen.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I'm a big fan of Amy Butler designs and patterns...I just bought a few of her tote bags - so adorable!
ReplyDeleteBTW - just became a follower, thanks for the chance to win!!

ReplyDeletei just gasped when i saw your giveaway! such stunning fabric.
ReplyDeleteI dont have a favorite designer or pattern. I use a bit of everyones tutorial when making something for my little one. It may be a a gathered pocket tute from one blog, to decorating a dress with a fabric flower tute from another.
The beauty of 'blogland' is that everyone shares what they know.

Yes, they're gorgeous and you're very generous! For tutorials I think Sew, Mama, Sew is a wonderful source. If you want to try to make toys and dolls, then I reccomend Hilary Lang's book, "Wee Wonderfuls"; it has very cute dolls and her instructions are easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

I am also fairly new to quilting. I finished my first quilt this past fall. It took me 19 months to complete. I did all handquilting, not sure I will do that again, but I love how it came out. I did a Turning Twenty pattern. I most definitely will do this pattern again, it was very easy and can be varied.
ReplyDeletewww.monandtrae.blogspot.com
I love red letter day fabric! as for patterns I'd like to try this quilt with christmas prints http://www.ryanwalshquilts.com/2010/06/bundles-of-joy-quilt-tutorial.html
ReplyDeleteI love the fat quarter apron tutorial on Prudent Baby, I've made a few, they are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love the Charlie Tee pattern by Fishsticks Designs!
ReplyDeleteI normally don't use patterns, I draft my own but I did buy two a while back that I love, one is a Mario video game quilt pattern and it has been so easy, the other is the yellow brick road. Great for beginners!

Oh and I just subscribed to your blog.

Favorite sewing - small quilts (table toppers, table runners, lap quilts), quick to finish!
ReplyDeleteI like to sew quilts and children's clothes. I'm particularly fond of Sandi Henderson, both for fabric and patterns.
ReplyDeletesenjosuki at yahoo
Well I just started quilting and sewing and right now I'm loving the Moda bake shop blog. It has all kinds of stuff on there.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite tutorials are from http://www.made-by-rae.com/. She might have even used a fabric from this line.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just became a follower :)
ReplyDeleteI found this tutorial interesting because we can use up all scraps and quilt at the same time http://comfortstitching.typepad.co.uk/comfortstitching/2010/01/raw-edge-applique-tutorial.html

I like Heather Bailey's patterns.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just signed up to be a follower!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I like the Amy Butler patterns.
ReplyDeleteI became a follower.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help with the patterns, but I rarely use any. The only clothing pattern I have used is the Olivia pattern from Pink Fig. The shirts turned out really cute for my girls.
ReplyDeleteI want that pink duck fabric, by the way. I think it needs to be in my stash.
I love Katy (at No Big Dill)'s Billy Cardi.
ReplyDeleteI adore the Material Obsession books especially the second one. Throughout the book, Kathy Doughtery and Sarah Fielke are presented with challenges and I love how different their quilts are for each challenge. Outside of that, I get a lot of my inspiration from the quilts in my family and the ones held at the Victoria & Albert Musueum in London.
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab giveaway! I love the Anna Maria Horner books for fab patterns. :)
ReplyDeletei know lots of people have already probably said her, but amy butler's patterns are so easy to follow, and have gorgeous results...
ReplyDeleteI am only good at making quilts, nothing else. So my favorite tutorial is this one from Film in the Fridge on paper piecing string blocks:http://www.filminthefridge.com/2009/04/27/a-string-quilt-block-tutorial-paper-pieced-method/
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway! ambersewwonky at yahoo dot com
I love the bags by Lazy Girl Designs. and I also love the new fabric designer Blue Hill Fabrics. Welcome to a wonderful addiction. Quilting is neither, illegal, immoral or fattening. So I say no to any 12 Step suggestions from friends and family members.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite tutorials I find on homemadebyjill.blogspot.com or totallytutorials.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteI love Anna Maria Horner's and Michael Miller's fabrics. Wish I could just afford to buy some from every collection.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite tutorial is http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2008/05/tutorial-fabric-basket.html
I love the SMS handmade holidays lists..All year long I go back to previous years to surf through them for gift ideas and fun stuff to make...Not that helpful because I guess you know about that already. Besides that I've become a huge fan of the design wall. I just kinda quilt as I go after collecting some inspiration from photo bucket.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Great giveaway Thanks!

I've gotten a lot of use out of Sense & Sensibility's Girls' Pinafore and Pantaloons pattern for my little ones. It's pretty simple (especially the pantaloons), but I've used it as a base for so many things!
ReplyDeleteI rarely use patterns at all, but I got Kate Conklin's Skittles Quilt pattern a while back and it is awesome. P.S. I totally love the ducks!
