We have been enjoying the entries to our Simple Whatnots Contest. If you are a quilt shop, there is still time to make Heritage Stars and to send us a photograph of it. If you are a quilter, let your local quilt shop know about this contest. The winner will win a bolt of each print from the Simple Whatnots 3 collection.

In case you need some prompting [but we are sure that you don't], here is a look at the Simple Whatnots 3 projects and swatches. 

Are you excited yet? We are going to inspire you even more by showing you a few entries in the next little while. The photographs are not shown in any particular order and will not affect the outcome of the contest.

Happy Monday! The temperatures are going up and we are starting to see signs of spring around the NYC area. The nicer weather puts many of us in happier moods and we look forward to starting new projects! That brings us back to our weekly giveaways. We hope to inspire you to start a new project!

This week we are about love. We are giving away a bundle Marie Cole's I Love You collection. Red, white, pink and red are the colors that scream out love. The letters, arrows and hearts would make Cupid happy.

Tidbits

We are finally out of the deep freeze here in NYC. Thoughts towards spring are taking over and we believe that Black, White and Currant 6 by Color Principle is a great collection to steer us in that direction. This beautiful floral range hits your local quilt shop this month.

[Pattern]

There are a couple of free patterns for you to download on the Henry Glass website that accompanies this collection. There are links to other lovely patterns for the other Black, White and Currant ranges. You can easily substitute the latest Black, White and Currant into the projects.

Here in the office there is a lot of noise in the background. We're busy preparing upcoming collections to show to quilt shops and thinking ahead [yet not that far ahead] to Spring Quilt Market in Minneapolis. We are working on our next look book but in the meantime check out our latest look book by clicking on the photography above.

Have a great day!
