Monkeys, Chains and Chickens...Oh My

So now that have your attention. 

If you haven't noticed Burgundy Buttons has grown in the last year- I feel like we have more like EXPLODED.  Still, there are so many MORE things I would like to offer, but it's baby steps at a time!  Space is very tight over here at BB!  I am routinely asked why we don't sell patterns...after pondering,  I decide each time that they are one of the hardest things to sell on the Internet.  Well that, and batiks. 

Patterns take a bit of effort to list, you see.. you have to add fabric requirements and selling points.  Patterns are often an after thought...an impulse buy.  It always seemed like alot of work.

But my goodness...have you seen the talent cropping up all around?  So I am taking the plunge over the next few months...patterns here we come.  

To celebrate this earth-shattering event  (Ok, maybe just a tiny event) we are having a giveaway!  OOOOber-talented Allison Harris of Cluck Cluck Sew has donated 4 of her marvelous quilts to 1 lucky BB Blog reader.  That winner will receive 1 of each of the following patterns:

           

      

For your chance to win, complete any number of the following and leave separate comments  here for each.  A random winner will be selected next Saturday.

• Sign up to follow Allison's Blog here or tell us you already do
• Sign up to follow our Blog or tell us you already do
• Tweet about this giveaway
• Blog about the giveaway (leave us your blog address too!)

That's four chances to win.  Now get to shopping!  Allison's patterns can be found here!

The prints feature a variety of florals, dots, checks and nature-inspired geometrics. Pair them with a soft, creamy white for an impressive and striking combination, or blend them together for a vibrant and breathtaking tribute to Summer.

Summer Nights

When it comes to designing nature-inspired fabrics, there really is no one better than Holly Taylor. She has a gift for capturing the beautifully imperfect world around us, and her latest collection, Dragonfly Summer is no exception. She chose a color palette reminiscent of a Summer twilight, when the sky is a deep, dark purple, and abuzz with fireflies and dragonflies.  Warm breezes rustle the leaves in the trees and the wildflowers growing on the prairie. Hues of deep purple, greens ranging from soft to deep, and varying shades of brown come together harmoniously in prints featuring softly drawn botanicals, dots, stripes, and swirls.

Our shipment of yardage has just arrived at Burgundy Buttons. Bring some home for your next project, and don't forget about all the handy and time-saving pre-cuts. They are all available now at a tremendous price. Shop now for the very best selection.

Sneaky Peeky

And that's all I'm saying..

....well except that Deb Strain is amazing!  She designed this adorable label (I mean- the gal hand-painted it!) that will be exclusively available soon.... 

....and then well Stef rocks too- 'cause she took sweet Deb's super-dooperly-fantasticly-amazingly-wonderful label and made it into this equally super-dooperly-fantasticly-amazingly and adorable quilt kit label.

And I just have to love the word "brilliant" in Stef's design.  hmmm....is she making fun of me? :-)  She's my new most favorite person ever.

Coming soon to a bakeshop near you!

Ok...so THAT's all I'm saying.  Serious this time.
