Winterkist: Market, Goodies and a Giveaway
May 15th, 2012
I’m ready to go to Market - all my Winterkist samples sewn, all my photos taken, all my lovely email answered, all my clothes packed and all my hairs dyed. I even managed to get my freebie pattern ready for the printer on the day of the deadline and not after. The earth just tilted on it’s axes a little bit. All that’s left now is to pick up Mo, and off to Kansas City we go for our Mo & Mo Go To MO adventure!
My free Peek-a-boo Gnoma pattern for Winterkist is availble here. Whew, I got it done just in the nick of time. The Universe was smiling on me, it even provided a sunny day for photos.
This shot is solely to brag on our sunshine - but it’s not really bragging since I live in the greyest city in the United States (fact. for real). Confession: I did not baste or pin my layers before I machine quilted this. Fact 1: I’m nuts. Fact 2: I’m lazy. Fact 3: Flattest/no lump quilt I ever made. I KNOW, how crazy is that. Fact 4: I will never, ever baste again.
There really must be gnomes in my woods - who else could have chopped this nice stack of wood. Actually, my nice neighbor across the street…
…but it’s more fun to pretend it’s Gnoma’s ancestors… Heinzelmännchen.
Some more goodies for the Lecien booth.
This is a sample for Elizabeth’s schoolhouse - for the debut of her freaking-awesome-beyond-words new book Modern Patchwork. All of the quilt patterns in Elizabeth’s book also have a mini version of each quilt, and the one I made is from her Metropolis pattern. I had so much fun making this mini-quilt, and I plan to make each mini-quilt in the book. I’m going to lazy-ass Julie-Julia my way through Modern Patchwork. I have a copy Modern Patchwork (no, I’m not giving it away - oh hell no!), and it is incredibly, jaw dropping beautiful, clever and fun, and I each projects leaves me marveling how Elizabeth thinks those designs up.
I went a little bag crazy.
Anna’s 241 Tote pattern. I FREAKING LOVE THIS PATTERN. And I love seeing all the different ones that are being made. I see many, many more of the 241’s in my future.
My Better Homes & Gardens Six Pocket Purse pattern and Ayumi’s Lunch Bag purse pattern. I can’t stop making the “Ayumi bag” either.
My newest baddiction (bag addiction) is Jeni’s Drawstring bag pattern. So cute and so fast, and also fun to see the different ones being made. LOTS more of these are going to be in my future, too.
A little give-away of Winterkist. It doesn’t hit the stores until this summer (you can put yourself on the Winterkist email notification at Fat Quarter Shop), so this is a chance if your not going to Sample Spree at Market (or going to Market) - to get a little sampling of your own. I’ve got two little 6″ charm-pack bundles (each with a Gnoma of each size in the bundle). Leave a comment and when I get back from Market I’ll draw two winners on Sunday, May 20th. For kicks, if you want… you can tell me your favorite color at the moment. And because I love knowing what colors people are diggin’ these days. Editing in: drawing winners on Monday, May 21.

May 15th, 2012I’m loving Winterkist! And your bags with the cute Gnoma on them are to die for. Thanks for the giveaway. I’m liking orange lately.
May 15th, 2012I LOVE this!! I cannot wait for the new line!!
May 15th, 2012Loving Winterkist. I need more Gnomes in my life. I hope you have a Gnometastic time at Market. :) I’m going to say Peacock Blue for my color this week. It’s very present in a quilt block I’m working on right now.
May 15th, 2012Pink, no blue, maybe lime green … all of the colors are so flavorful that I cannot pick just one!
May 15th, 2012After seeing that black & white bag, there’s no way I can resist buying some Winterkist. Love the large scale! Would be great to win some advance samples! My favourite colour to sew with is currently yellow.
May 15th, 2012I love your quilt. The colours of the fabrics are just so bright and happy. Thanks for the chance.
May 15th, 2012I just love the quilt you did a great job. The gnomes are adorable. I just can’t get enough of them. Thanks for the chance to win some. My current favorite color is probably gray. I know sort of boring but it really looks great with everything. ;)
May 15th, 2012Usually, I like the blue colorways the best, but I love the gray. It’s very striking and seems like it has both the Christmas and winter flare depending on what it is paired with!
May 15th, 2012I’m loving all the Navy Blue that I’ve been seeing combined with other colors. Love the Gnomas peeking around on you quilt!
May 15th, 2012oh my gosh, I didn’t realize that some of the gnomes were so GIANT! That is even cooler than I thought, and I love the bags you made with the gnome on them!
May 15th, 2012I seem to be sewing with yellow and grey all the time lately…but my favorite desert island color is still blue…glorious blue!

May 16th, 2012I’m still loving aqua…can’t get over that one…but also digging coral. SO pretty and fresh.
May 16th, 2012Orange, today. Possibly lime green next week. Hope you have a lovely time in MO with Mo.
May 16th, 2012I’m loving lime, orange and hot pink lately, especially when they are all together in a project :)
May 16th, 2012Your freebie quilt is freakin’ adorable!! Love gnomes! Hmm, favorite color is a toughie…aqua? perhaps, lime? I’m on the fence!

Have fun at market!
May 16th, 2012Oh I hope you have a blast in Kansas City! I am sure there will be plenty of people rushing your booth to get a peek at those adorable gnomes. Thank you so much for the giveaway!
May 16th, 2012NO basting–seriously fabulous! I adore all the Gnoma peeking out in different poses in your quilt. And on the bags, whee! Loving the green best, as always, but have lots left over for the orange. Followed closely by yellow, red, black and pink. Have a fabulous MO trip!
May 16th, 2012I am now going to be stalking the Lecien free patterns page until they put up your quilt pattern. As a new quilter, it’d be perfect for me!
I LOVE the bags you made, the gnomes really make them. Gorgeous. Have a fab time at Quilt Market. I’m pretty much green with jealousy. But no, green isnt’ my favourite colour, that would be blue.
May 16th, 2012Winterkist is absolutely awesome. Orange is my current favorite color :) ‘Can’t seem to get enough orange fabric!
May 16th, 2012Love it all, but right now, red and aqua are my favorites. Really cute. Would love to win.
May 16th, 2012I don’t know what it is about summer, but I go a little bag crazy myself. And yours are exceptionally cute.
May 16th, 2012My favorite color really never changes. Yellow. Lots and lots of yellow. Comes from living on the Southern Oregon coast and then in Seattle. I crave sunshine I guess.
Monica, Monica, Monica you know all of those bright colors make my heart very happy, plus the gnomes … hows a girl to choose. However, if I must I would have to say the little orange gnoma … but like our lovely Oregon weather give me 5 minutes and my opinion will change again.
May 16th, 2012My favorite color in this collection? Definitely the grey. Not enough grey in the world. My second runner up is, of course, orange! Which is my favorite color in general.
May 16th, 2012I think Winterkist is the brightest, most fun Christmas line to come out in years! Love all the colorways, if I don’t win, I will surely have to buy…for sure!!! have a great market.
May 16th, 2012Have fun at Market!!
May 16th, 2012I love all your cutie pie projects!!!
My favorite colors right now seem to be blue and orange :-)
I love all the colors, but I have to admit, my skips a beat when I see the lovely blue.
Thank you for the chance to win such a wonderful prize. :)
May 16th, 2012I am a blue lady, but in the last time I like a lot bright colors too. Thank you for the chance to win. Barbara from Italy
May 16th, 2012Wow! What a lovely work you did! I love the drawstring bag, a great pattern anyway!
May 16th, 2012Please pick me!
Adorableness is your middle name! My current fav color is eye-searing lime green. I just finished a quilt using Kona Chartreuse and I’m fairly certain you could see it from outer space. I so wish my LQS would stock Lecien.
May 16th, 2012Have fun at quilt market! I’m liking orange right now, and I’ve never really been drawn to it before, but I’m going with it!
May 16th, 2012I love orange at the moment! Beautiful fabrics!
May 16th, 2012favorite color is pink - thanks for the chance! :D
May 16th, 2012I am having a fetish for lime green and orange these days. Can’t wait until this line is available. Your quilt is fabulous. I can’t believe you didn’t baste. Wow!
May 16th, 2012I’m loving the yellow/gray combo right now, but lime green is *really* high on my favorite-single-color list.
The quilt is gorgeous — love how the colors play so well together.
Thanks for a terrific giveaway!
May 16th, 2012No basting? BRAVO!!! It looks fantabulous. I’m adoring Winterkist…it’s awesome. My favorite color right now is yellow…a citrus quilt is in the works right now and I’m going to have a hard time parting with it (it’s a gift for a friend having surgery this summer).
May 16th, 2012Wowza! A chance to have my hands on your sweet little bundle of Gnomas before they hit the stores? Amazing giveaway! I am loving bright turquoise at the moment, but all springy colours are getting my creative juices flowing!

May 16th, 2012I adore blue, but for reasons that excape me I have almost no blue fabric. I may have to try your no basting/pinning method, but it terrifies me, however I am lazy too so I think I should try it.
May 16th, 2012Black and white.

May 16th, 2012Love the bags you made. Right now my favorite colors are turquoise and red.
May 16th, 2012Awwww shucks! I am unable to go to the market :-(
May 16th, 2012Thanks for the chance to win this bright and happy fabric!!
This fabric line is adorable. Today my favorite color is the orange. The lime green is a very close second.
May 16th, 2012OMG! Monica, you’ve done it again! I love all the little baggies in this range! Soooo gorgeous! I’m sitting at work here, salivating, wishing I could be at home, “pedal to the metal” on my little sewing machine! You are a constant inspiration to me. Aurora xoxoxo
May 16th, 2012TOO. MUCH. CUTE. Can’t look away…
I’m loving any and all things green right now, but then I typically do :)
May 16th, 2012Love your line and all the projects! My favorite color of the season is tangerine :) pair it with a little lime green and whee!
May 16th, 2012I’ve really been hooked on aqua the past couple of months. Have a wonderful time at Market!
May 16th, 2012I hope you have the best time at market! I’m pretty sure you will. Oh, the color?! Make that raspberry, please. It just makes me think of summer. :)
May 16th, 2012Interesting question because I find my taste is changing from purples to reds…. have fun!
May 16th, 2012I am loving lime green and orange these days. I always love your fabric because it just makes me smile and so happy. Have a great time at market. Blessings Sandra
May 16th, 2012Oh, your peek a boo pattern is toooo cute!
May 16th, 2012I don’t really have a favorite color, which makes my 4-year old very frustrated. :P I did notice that I have many more yellow-green colored selvedges than any other color, so maybe that’s my favorite and I didn’t know it. :P
Enjoy your time at market!
You are adorable! We will miss you at guild this week but I know you will be having a great time without us. My favorite color today is girl scout green. Go figure.
May 16th, 2012I’m stuck on pink! Pink with lime green, pink with yellow, pink with just about anything!
May 16th, 2012What a cute pattern, I love all the gnomes popping up hither an’ yon across the colorways! I love lots of colors but when all is said and done I always go for the blues. I especially love dark rich blues which you hardly ever see anymore but was anything ever as cute as pink and navy? have fun at market, looks like a blast to me!
May 16th, 2012Oooh, cannot WAIT until that fabric hits the stores!! All those cute little gnomes. Right now I am really digging green. Now that may change tomorrow, but you did want to know which color we’re liking right now. :)
May 16th, 2012Great projects! I like that 241 Tote too! I’ve made 3 of them and plan on more (one for ME maybe??).
May 16th, 2012Right now I am digging coral and seafoam.
Have fun at Market watching everyone drool over your new line!!
Aqua and red combos are my current favorites. I absolutely love your new line and the gnomes.
May 16th, 2012I gnome I would be soo happy to win some of this fabulous fabric! LOVE the designs. I really like your quilt/patter also!
My lastest color obsession is apple green! I can’t get enough of it in clothes, scrapbook papers, measuring cups–literally anything I see in that color makes me smile!
May 16th, 2012Love love LOVE the bags. Have a fabulous time at Market.
My favorite color is Sally Green. :-)
May 16th, 2012Have fun at Market. LOVE the fabric, especially all of it, any color is great. Thanks for the giveaway.
May 16th, 2012LOVE them ALL but the TEAL, sets my heart affutter NOW!
May 16th, 2012Blue is always my favorite color — that fabric is so darling and I’ll just have to get some soon as I can. Thanks!!
May 16th, 2012WOW! Everything is gorgeous and I adore those gnomes!! My fav color right now seems to be gray, I’m always into pink!
May 16th, 2012Super-duper-fabulousis!!! Have a great time in KC.
May 16th, 2012I always love red! But oh Monica! I love the bright clear blue in your new line! Scrumptious! Wish I could hide in one of your bags!
May 16th, 2012Ah! Colours that make you happy and little bearded men that are almost too cute!
May 17th, 2012Your fabric line is just adorable!! Just had a baby girl so I’m loving pink at the moment!! :)
May 17th, 2012So cute. I love the bright colors. You know me and the bright colors. :) And I love your sunshine. Even tho I don’t mind the rain…especially at the coast. :)
May 17th, 2012Green is my fave. Other colors come and go in combination with it, but the green stays on top! Thanks fir this chance!
May 17th, 2012I love all the bags you are showing here! The black & white gnome really caught my eye. Maybe I will need to make an “Ayumi” lunch bag with black & white! That would work out really great if I only had some time to sew! Hope you had fun at market!
May 17th, 2012I’m still loving aqua
May 17th, 2012Love your new line! I am really into teal with yellow right now.
May 17th, 2012I love your new line of fabric! I would have to say I love the blue - it’s a frosty, wintery blue - perfect! Thanks for the give away!
May 17th, 2012Love those cute gnomes, especially my favorite lime green!
May 17th, 2012Love your new line! And I think picking a favorite color is way too limiting an activity plus, I could pick orange but then pink would be upset and I could pick green but then yellow would get mad…it’s endless sort of like this sentence…
May 17th, 2012Oh all these projects look lovely :)
May 17th, 2012Susanne
I’m feelin’ the pink! Love the Winterkist post.
May 17th, 2012Today I love the pink. Yesterday I loved the blue. No telling what color I’ll love tomorrow! They’re all fabulous!
May 17th, 2012Loving Orange right now…and totally loving this new line of yours! Fab-u-lous!!!
Thanks for the chance to win some before it hits the rest of the happy world!
May 17th, 2012I really love your newest fabric with all those awesome gnomes. Too cute. My favorite color is always purple. I LOVE purple. BUT, lately I’ve really been in love with lime green and pink as a combo after seeing a quilt last week that I can’t stop thinking about. And now you have one in this post using those same colors. Awesome combo.
Good luck at Market and see if you can have a little bit of fun too while there. :)
May 17th, 2012I LOVE Winterkist! and am anticipating (not very patiently) its appearance.
May 17th, 2012Monica, I LOVE your gnomas! And the green ones are my favourites! Have fun in Kansas :o) And thanks for the giveaway!!!
May 17th, 2012I’m really loving blue/aqua/teal right now. Thanks for the chance to win!
May 17th, 2012I just love your new line and everything you have made with it.
I was wondering if you would be willing to do a little blog post about not basting?
May 17th, 2012Have a great trip!
May 17th, 2012I’m still loving pink, orange, yellow and red.
I hope you and the girls are having a great time in Kansas City! I have to go check out that book… but wanted to tell you I love the bags and the Gnome purse with the Noodlehead pattern is so clever and cute! My favorite color is that yellow kinda orangeish color… ya know?
May 17th, 2012Red. I got to have some Gnomas!!!!! I have lots of little kids in the family that would positively loved a stuffed Gnoma at Chirstmas time!!!!! Pick me!!!! Please!
May 17th, 2012It’s dark sky blue-or maybe it’s lime green-heck, it’s any thing bright.
May 17th, 2012wish I was in KC at Market!! My favorite colors are aqua and red. I have the fabrics but can’t decide on what pattern to use. I need suggestions.
May 17th, 2012Those Gonomas are too cute! My favorite color is Blue - like the blue Gonoma that is on the backing of the woodpile quilt. Thanks for a chance! Best wishes for a grand Market trip.
May 17th, 2012I would love a sample of your awesome new line!!! I am loving orange right now and my always love goes to pink, not pastely junior league pink, but PINK, lol. Cant wait to read all about your trip to market!
May 17th, 2012Just finished a big wedding quilt and am thinking of getting out my pink/yellow/orange Mochi fabric to play with.
I have already put myself on a fabric buying moratorium to save up $$$ because when Winterkist comes out I’m buying it all up! Full price, for real!!!
May 17th, 2012Thanks for the great giveaway! I love yellow, orange and green. Hope you had a fabulous time at Quilt Market.
May 17th, 2012Totally wish I could be at market, squealing away… Hm, I seem to be drawn to gold and lime-like colors lately strangely enough. Have a blast!
May 17th, 2012I am so EXCITED about these prints, they are fabulous! I love the colors you picked. Right now I am digging marigold yellow. Bright, no apologies, in your face. Have fun at Market!!!
May 17th, 2012I am loving orange and aqua! Thanks for the chance and good luck at market!
May 17th, 2012You have been busy! Have a great time at market! Favorite colors… can’t go wrong with lime and fuschia.
May 17th, 2012Thanks for the sneak peak! My favorite color right now is yellow/ shades of yellow.
May 17th, 2012I just love the 241 tote done up in this-so I’d have to say that the black/gray combo is my fav right now. Followed closely by blue, red, pink, green & then orange.
May 17th, 2012Wow! Such happy colors. Love it!
May 18th, 2012Goodness, all those projects are just adorable! What bright and cheery gnomes!! We are totally loving pink over here! :)
May 18th, 2012Whoa, would love to win! Loving tangerine right now!
May 18th, 2012Love the Gnomas! And the lime green is beautiful, especially paired with the pink and orange.
May 18th, 2012What fun fabrics and projects. As always, my favorite color is blue, although pink, cream, yellow, green, orange, purple come in close seconds…
May 18th, 2012I love the gnomes- have fun at market! I love the color purple!
May 18th, 2012Ohhh I’d love to win some Winterkist, specially som of those dark gnomas. Love them!
May 18th, 2012I am in love with your gnomas! My favorite color at the moment is orange. No- it’s lime green. No, it’s probably hot pink. Whatever it is, it’s summery!
May 18th, 2012THE CHARCOAL!!!! ooops, I didn’t mean to shout but I love the charcoal!! ;p
May 18th, 2012Favorite color is everything in the red family, so the pink is great! I’m also digging the turquoise, as it goes with the pink so well and it is my birthstone color. Hope I win!
May 18th, 2012What a fab giveaway, I just love those gnomes. My favourite colour is duck egg blue.
May 18th, 2012I am loving Kelly Green!!
May 18th, 2012Loving the green/blue or pink/orange. I would love them all.
May 18th, 2012I love Winterkist. There was another website that asked us what we would want to see from Market, and that’s what I picked without realizing who it was from (sorry, I’m new to this world). I saw the bags on the other website and can’t wait until I have them in my hands. My favorite color is blue and I like all shades, from teal and turquoise to almost gray-blues. Thanks for the chance to win, and I hope you have a great time at Market.
May 18th, 2012Thank you, Thank you and one more.. thank you for more gnomas! So much fun. Love the pink!
May 18th, 2012OK, I must admit I don’t remember much past…I didn’t baste or pin my layers before I machine quilted this…incredible! And oh so brave!
Favorite color? Aqua. Always.
Thanks gory this great giveaway!
May 18th, 2012I love the gnomes! All the colors are singing to me.
May 18th, 2012No market for me, but how about orange as my favorite color at the moment. And Heinzelmaennchen: lov’em! Thanks for a chance and have fun at market!
May 18th, 2012Green is my favorite color with purple a close second. However, quilt-wise, I’m drawn to red and aqua.
May 18th, 2012Blue has always been my favorite color and always will be. Love the fabric line, wonderful fresh colors.
May 18th, 2012There are just too many beautiful colors out there these days for me to pick only one! However, I have noticed a couple of trends in my sewing — or rather, they were pointed out to me by my very favorite four-year-old. Her comment to her mother: “Maria likes yellow a lot.” Out of the mouths of babes!
May 18th, 2012Love all of your bags - so much fabulous-ness(!?). I’m loving all things Citrine at the moment - the colour itself, the word & also the gemstone. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
May 18th, 2012I love these fabric so much. My favourite colours at the moment are Gery and Lime Green. Thank you for all the fun. :-)
May 19th, 2012I’m totally loving orange these days…which is a little crazy for me because I have so few orange prints in my extensive stash! But it makes it fun to start collecting some new fabrics….starting with your adorable new line! And I LOVE your quilt pattern…a charm pack would be a great start to making this fun quilt! Thanks for a chance to win!
May 19th, 2012Yellow!!! Although I am totally digging the green gnomas…. I think some are going to come live with me. :D
May 19th, 2012AQUA………….Im spray painting everything I own AQUA!!!!!!!!!!!
May 19th, 2012I keep checking for when Winterkist is going to be out! I’m bouncing up and down going “is it out yet? Is it out yet? Is it out yet?” Can’t wait!
May 19th, 2012Aqua and pink have been calling my name.
May 19th, 2012I wish I was at Market…maybe someday. This quilt is so fabulous I can barely stand it.
And Pink, pink, pink.
May 19th, 2012I’m into blues and greens these days. Nice bright and cheery blues and greens and your gnomes are so cute!
May 19th, 2012My sister and I have been working a lot with a lime-ish green and pink lately - and I am totally digging it. I can’t wait to get my hands on your “Winterkist” line in those colors to surprise my sister with a sweet bag for her birthday, on Christmas Day! (shhh!)
May 19th, 2012Lately, I’m all about orange and grey. Hope you had a fabulous time at Market!
May 19th, 2012I love hot pink and lime…
Have fun at the market… Heaps of Australian designers are going this year..

May 20th, 2012I like that you’ve a black colorway for this and especially like the variable circles print. I’m liking a color that’s a bit green, a bit mustard a bit pukey but bright. My nephew says, “This is the color ogre.” I agree.
May 20th, 2012I am still laughing about the toilet seat cover photos!!! You are one fun and crazy lady! My fav color of all time and forever is YELLOW!!! Have loved it since I was a youngun…..
May 20th, 2012Reminds me of my Scandinavian heritage. Red or blue are my colors. Loving them!
May 20th, 2012I love the gnomes! Especially, the lime green.
May 20th, 2012I hope I’m not too late to enter! Nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? I am in love with Winterkist! The colors, the gnomes, everything, what a great collection. My favorite color has always been blue but I am loving greens at the moment. I hope you had a great time at market!
May 20th, 2012I just love all the cute projects you have done. My favorite color is blue, all shades!

May 20th, 2012My favorite color line is teal, I have a few fabrics of that hue I’m loving and trying to figure out a quilt to make which centers on that. Thank you for the giveaway!
OH MY WORD!!! :) So good to meet you at Market this weekend…I missed taking a pic with you!!! Right now, I’m digging purple for some very odd reason. :)
May 20th, 2012Hello! And… Yellow!
May 20th, 2012I love Winterkist! If I have to pick a favourite, it must be the sunshine orange. Welcome summer!
May 20th, 2012I love how it’s Christmas-y without being all Santa-puked-reindeer-and-mistletoe-everywhere. Very nice job :)
