Thank you’s & Giveaways
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your gracious and generous comments & the unbelievable amounts of emails we have been getting from you since the APQ article came out [for those of you who are hearing about this for the first time, see post below for more info]. Thank you so much for all the well wishes. I am daily humbled & blessed by your stories, your inspirations and your encouragements. I can say with all honesty that I am a designer because of wonderful women [& a few good men :-)] like you. Thank you.
I would also like to ask that if you have placed an order with us this week, that you give us a bit of “leeway” as we have been a bit understaffed to meet all of the demand these days….
In honor of all of this wonderful “hubbub” we are going to have a “Dandelion Wishes” kit giveaway!! One kit will be given away at the end of this week to one lucky winner. If you have already ordered one and you are the winner, we will refund your money.
If you would like to add into your comment, a possible name for one of our new quilts…. something that sounds “fresh” and “vintage”; it will be a scrappy quilt made from Dandelion Girl fabric, cream & alot of little patches… If I use your name for the quilt pattern, I will send you the pattern for free. I know its kind of hard without seeing the quilt… but that’s all I can give you at the moment.
Talk to you soon.
About The Author
Vickie E | 5th Feb 08
Joanna, I bought the AQS mag just for your article! Loved it. Please enter me for the quilt kit.
And a quilt name? How about “Sugar & Cream Pie”
Your fabrics always remind me of old fashioned sugar and cream pie 🙂
Cathi in Ireland | 5th Feb 08
Oooh…I feel like I’m back in France listening to your blog ambiance music! I have several of your patterns and just thought I’d delurk to enter your giveaway!
I can’t get the magazine or the fabrics easy here in Ireland, but love them anyway! If I wasn’t such a frugal quilter with a big stash of scraps already, I’d buy them all up!! Fabric here is insanely expensive, but I think some charm squares might be within budget!!
For the new quilt name, how “Katy’s Little Dandelion Patch” (I’d name it after my two little Irish girls, but their names are hard to pronounce: Aine (onya) and Aisling (ashling)
I recently bought your houses book and have to say I really love the patterns in it!
Priscilla Campbell | 5th Feb 08
Joanna- I loved the AQS article and your lovely house- (as much as I could see)- Your new line is great- and I think of Ginger Peaches or Ginger and Cream – So that is my suggestion- Please keep up the great work- Priscilla
Libby | 5th Feb 08
Hey Joanna! I’m going with my first thought “Patchwork Dreams” I dream about quilts! Have a Great Day!! Libby
Sheila Holland | 5th Feb 08
How about “Creme Fraiche” for a name? Love your blog, website and most of all – your talent!
Sheila
Cory | 5th Feb 08
Joanna, What about Dandelion Meadows? When I read your description of the fabric, I can see the little girl running through a Dandelion Meadow. Good luck with picking a new name. Take care and God bless, Cory
Nancy | 5th Feb 08
Please enter me into your give-away. I love all of your quilts/patterns.
New quilt name? My Grandma’s Kitchen…
My grandma’s kitchen was always a warm snuggly place filled with good things.
Thimbleanna | 5th Feb 08
I’m throwing out Prairie Flowers ’cause nothing else comes to mind! 😉
Carole Prevost-Meier | 5th Feb 08
I can honestly say that I am up to date on both articles. Lovely! I love the dandelion quilt! The other quilt in the Australian magazine is sweet! I see that you enjoy what I would call French folk music; music that is played in what we call Boite a Chanson in Quebec. If you are interested in a more contemporary artits, from Quebec, I think you would enjoy Harmonium’s first album. As for a quilt title, perhaps a French one would suit it! Champs des fleurs! Count me in for the draw! That is so generous of you! Thank you!
Kathy Vetter | 5th Feb 08
The article and photos in AP&Q were wonderful!! I like “Dreaming of Dandelions” as that is what I have been doing since seeing your quilt in the magazine.
Love scrap quilts and the fact that your different fabric lines coordinate with each other.
Please enter me in your kit giveaway.
Keep up the fantastic work!
Kathy

So nice of you to let your readers be involved like this. When I think of Dandelions I always think of when they go to seed and we would blow on them and make wishes… so my suggestion is Dandelion Wishes. Have fun with reading all the ideas! Jean-o
Jean-o | 5th Feb 08
So nice of you to let your readers be involved like this. When I think of Dandelions I always think of when they go to seed and we would blow on them and make wishes… so my suggestion is Dandelion Wishes. Have fun with reading all the ideas! I did have another thought, and it was about Roses… Rose Water Vinegrette but I’m not sure if that would even go with the fabric. Again, have fun. I’m not going to hold my breath… take care. Jean-o

My entries for quilt names: Dandelion Wishes or Dandelions in the Breeze
I am thinking of little girls in their blue floral summer dresses making wishes on dandelion puffs running through the meadow of fresh spring grass with the butter yellow of dandelions sprinkled throughout in little splashes of colour together all the shades of colours of spring meadow flowers.

Hi Joanna, the article and photos were beautiful!
Lots of good suggestions for the next quilt name. My entry is: “Summertime Hopscotch” for 2 reasons.
1) lots of little squares remind me of drawing hopscotch squares with chalk in front of my house and
2) hopscotch is definitely “vintage”. You just don’t see kids playing it anymore. 🙁

What color of cream paint and what brand is it you use? TIA

Okay, as for pattern names. I am going to try to include some French. I hope it is correct, I don’t speak the language! Forgive me if I post something off colored, I am not trying to offend, just be creative.
Figgy Pudding (sorry couldn’t resist!)

Sorry, I can’t think of any clever quilt names right now.
Kim | 6th Feb 08
How about “Dandelion Daydreams”?
joanna | 6th Feb 08
karen [& the others who have emailed me about what kind of cream paint I use in my home]-
My husband really wasn’t kidding when he said that we had 30 quarts of different creams in the garage! Each of the rooms in our home uses a different cream paint because i found that depending on the size & light exposure or each room, the colors looked vastly different. So I can’t even begin to recommend a color or a brand. I really do recommend that trial & error is the best way to figure out what kind of cream will work in your room. I do know that Lyndhurst Cream was one of my favorites in a few rooms but I don’t remember the brand of that particular one!
happy “cream” hunting…
Darlene | 6th Feb 08
I thought of another one! 🙂
Frothy Dandelion Figs

Hmmn…don’t know if it’s already been suggested but the parameters (dandelion fabric, creams and vintage) made me think of blowing dandelion seeds and watching them float away — so, “Dandelion Wishes” is my suggestion. Of course, doing that used to drive my father nuts — so, maybe not :0).
Patti Cardona | 8th Feb 08

Ina | 8th Feb 08
Thought of a variation on my suggestion. If it is a patchwork quilt made with 5″ charms the quilt could be called “Hopscotch Charms”.
As little girls, we use to use our charm bracelets to toss onto the hopscotch. That’s what made me think of Hopscotch Charms. 🙂
Barbara France | 8th Feb 08

Dandelion Days is my quilt name suggestion.

This is my first visit to your blog site and I am blown away…..it’s simply delightful and brings back a rush of memories of my visit to Paris last November….j’adore Paris!!!! My suggestion for a scrappy quilt name is ‘Dandelion Fantasy’ Cheers, Marian from Oz

Hi,
I was finally able to find the mag and the article about you and your work and home was wonderful. About 200 names ago, I sent in “Creme Fraiche”, but I noticed no one was sending in any “Dew and dandelion” combos, so here goes:
Dewdrops on the Dandelions
Dew and Dandelions
Summer Dew
Dandelions and Dew
Or maybe even just something like “Days of Dandelions”
Whew. We are all really getting in to this name thing!

When I saw your article in AQ, I fell in love with you, your ideas, and your patterns. Name your new quilt pattern, Peaches n’ Cream or Outdoor Wonders.

Please enter me in your draw and also consider the following as possible names for your new quilts…

Just love the quilt shown above. The charm packs are fun to work with all the different fabrics. I do have one jelly roll that I got in a quilt package. The layered cake squares is a great idea. Give us lots more new patterns to go with all these fresh cut fabrics!Enter me in your drawning if it is not too late. Thanks.

I have made mostly dark primitive quilts for the past few years, and then read the wonderful, insightful article on your process of designing and colors choices, I am absolutely taken with your Prairie Sweets, will be ordering that from you soon.
A name, always hard to name a quilt even when it’s in front of you, but here goes;

I’m going to wear out my April APQ issue, particularly your feature article! Your decorating style is fabulous, the colors are yummy and I just want to rest my eyes on those pages again and again.
Have added your blog and webpage to my favorites!
How’s about Buttermilk Meadow or Buttercream Frosting?
Thanks for all you do!
