Amy Butler Soul Blossoms Fabric Expose and Giveaway!!

When I'm supposed doing some real work one of my fave places to escape online is Amy Butler's site.  Some weeks I noticed she had a new jewel coloured range of fabrics coming out and 2 new sewing pattern as well. Mmmm!  As you might already know I am in process of planning my 2nd booky-doo so I wanted to check out Amy's new fabrics in the flesh for use in said book. 

So now I have a stack of some lush Soul Blossoms fabrics burning a hole right through my work table - and nom-nom they are too!  Best thing is they are meant for your workroom, not mine (bummer!)  Before we get onto the fabric giveaway I thought you'd like to see these amazing Soul Blossom Quilt Market Shots - Dreamy!

"The  " oh so important " pre-setting of the booth in my studio before we load it in the van to drive it to Texas. I photograph set up images that I print and bring with me to use as a guide for the install later in Houston.  After packing the van I scoop up my Dad, better known as Devil Don { a real QM celeb } and we drive 22 hours to get the booth to Texas."

Lush bag (hanging on the top the screen) the pattern is up for grabs (as is the pattern for the yummy cushions)

 

 

Setting up the booth at QM.   This is how the magic begins (with pieces of 2 by 4, an electric screwdriver, a groovy Amy's DIY Dad (Mr Don, AKA "Devil Don") + assistant).

 

 

Hmm rather tasty feature wall methinks.

Ta dah! Looking Amy-luscious!

 

"The bright and lovely Mallory and Diane!  Beaming with beautiful smiles... they make the show extra special. They bring what I like to call the " market magic " !"

 

"Actual Booth set at QM on opening Day!  still looking "  moderately fresh "and a bit dazed by all the love and support we receive at the show!"  

Ahh I love what Amy is wearing!!  And the booth, well I could eat the whole thing!  One day I will fly across the pond and visit Houston QM for myself.  I'll walk if I have to.

 

 

Right, appetites suitably whetted: onto the tasty Giveaway Good stuff:

"I wanted to create a visual story to share my wonderful experiences while traveling to India. It's impossible to spend time in such a soulful place and not be inspired by the culture, rich colors, amazing textiles, and ornate architecture. I was instantly consumed by the heartbeat of everyday life and smitten with the beautiful way people expressed themselves. This collection is my interpretation of an enchanted, modern passage through the floral delights of India. Dreamy jewel toned prints in multi-hued flowers and designs - uplifting and passionate - weave together my ethnic inspired story. My three color collections; Passion, Joy and Bliss, work in a harmonious treasure box palette for endless exotic combinations. I hope you are as delighted as I am, and that you find your own inspirations to help your creative soul blossom!

~ Enjoy! XO Amy"
