Thank you so much all of the House's House love!!! Your lovely comments are so appreciated! Thank you as well for taking the time to answer my solids/near solids questions. Your answers are so helpful, and just the information that I'm looking for.
As a thank you, how about a free quilt pattern? It's a few years old, a quilt that I made for my cousins over at Cosmo Cricket for their fabric line called Hey Sugar! If I were to make it again, I'd leave off the border, but I'm not much of a border girl.
To sweeten this thank you, I'll throw in 3 one yard cuts of Hey Sugar (now quite impossible to find I think) to 3 lucky winners...1 yard per winner! Leave a sweet comment - something appropriate for a fabric line called Hey Sugar <3 Contest ends on 9/27/10
It's amazing how two years passes so quickly. Two years ago at this time, Houston was trying to pull itself out of hurricane Ike, I had no power for two weeks, and I was trying to get three quilts finished for quilt market; this being one of them.
Please keep leaving your responses about solids on the previous post, I will be sure and pass on your thoughts and wishes to quilt shop owners everywhere.
Here's the free pattern...Download Sugar snap pattern
Enjoy,
Cherri
Thanks Cherri!

Well I have powdered sugar, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, raw sugar, sugar cubes, superfine sugar, liquid sugar, caster sugar, confectioners sugar and sanding sugar but no Hey Sugar. Can you help me out Cherri?
Thanks for the pattern!

Sugar Sugar
Oh, honey honey
You are my candy girl!
Posted by: Katie B | September 20, 2010 at 07:48 PM
I think I might have to try this with more of a solids emphasis as I've been inspired by your later work!
Posted by: Beth | September 20, 2010 at 07:49 PM
I couldn't have resisted the border with this fabric either! And since I bought yards and yards of solids this weekend I think I'd add some into the Sugar.
Posted by: Mary Ann | September 20, 2010 at 07:54 PM
Well, I have an uncle whose nickname is Shug' (short for Sugar) and we indeed ask little ones to "give me some shugah" and they oblige with a kiss on the cheek. So, Hey Sugar is perfect for a girl's quilt if it is actually called "Hey Shug-ah". Thank you for this lovely giveaway.
Posted by: Marcia | September 20, 2010 at 08:05 PM
Sweet! Thanks for the free pattern as well!
Posted by: VickiB | September 20, 2010 at 08:08 PM
Here is something sweet, first literally... I made my first batch of rice crispy treats in quite some time and I was very very pleased. Now figuratively... I am picking up my newest pet on Saturday. She is a 7 month old ferret named Luna who is half sister to my current boy.

I do like that border print though. Not that I'm a border girl myself.
Have a sweet Tuesday!

Love the Sugar. The colors remind me of all the colors of the sugar sprinkles that I put on frosted sugar cookies.
Posted by: Debbie Gallett | September 21, 2010 at 09:26 AM
Love the pattern and fabrics. I have a new granddaughter (born May 3), and the fabric would be perfect for a quilt I'm planning to make for her. Thanks!

Posted by: Ellen G | September 21, 2010 at 10:15 AM
I really like the arrow border; don't know how patient I would be to cut it properly, but I think it's a pretty sweet effect! What a fantastic baby quilt for sleeping under or playing on top of!
