I'll cut to the chase. There's a giveaway at the bottom of this blog post with no hoops to jump through. I want to say thank you for dropping by and visiting Badskirt. I am really thankful that you are here! Each of three winners will receive a PDF copy of my new
Woven Slashes cushion and potholder pattern or a purchase refund for those who can't wait to give it a try.
Before the giveaway though, I want to share a few of my recent favorite
Quilt Design a Day efforts. Getting ready to move cities has been frantic. Moving our apartment in less than a month, wrapping up my work commitments and juggling a previously planned holiday on the other side of the continent is utterly crazy. Making things, even digitally, helps keep me sane. Once we get moved and settled in August, I'm excited about turning these designs into something tangible.
To see the inspiration image that led to the quilt design palettes and dates, follow the date links. From there, you'll find each of my designs and learn a little bit about how they evolved on that day. You'll also get to see what others made from the same source seed too. If you want to try your hand at quilt design, we'd love to see you in our group. To get your started,
Anne is putting together a series of
Beginner Challenges to ease you in.
...now about that giveaway. It is as easy as leaving a comment. Just let me know which #qdad design you like best - it could be one of these, one from
my other qdad posts or something from one of the other talented kids over in the
Quilt Design A Day Facebook group.
Leave a comment with your favorite and make sure I have a way to reach you. If you have trouble commenting you can email your entry to [myblogname]@gmail.com. One entry per person, duplicates will be removed. A drawing will be held July 27, 2014 - noon Melbourne time. Each of three winners will receive a PDF copy of
Woven Slashes cushion and potholder pattern or a purchase refund for those who can't wait to give it a try. Good luck!
thank you for popping by!
Off-Kilter is the design that keeps calling me back for a second look. I have been meaning to join in on this design group but haven't found the time, I'll take a look at the beginner challenges and hopefully I'll make time soon. Oh and welcome to Melbourne when the time comes, we have been here almost 5 years and love the place.
ReplyDeleteI like Dog Box Cold. It's fresh and clean looking. I have enjoy seeing the designs you've made.
ReplyDeleteI like Beaked !
ReplyDeletei like Basics 1. simple, effective, and i would really make it.
ReplyDeleteFox On The Town just makes me smile and think you could really work the pattern with print fabrics :)
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your stuff Amy! You'll love living in Melbourne, one of my favourite cities in the world. I lived there once long ago and get there as often as I can (from Dunedin, NZ). These designs are lots of fun. Beaked and the dog starry one and the knobbly knees are hard to choose between...!
ReplyDeleteI miss your posts. Good luck with your move.Look forward to you getting back online more often!
ReplyDeleteUntitled July 1 does it for me - I love a star. Dog Box Cold comes a very close second.
ReplyDeleteBeaked is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them! They're all so fresh and modern. My favorite is Dog Box Cold. I definitely want to make this for myself!
ReplyDeleteSo many I like, but "Untitled" above is one of my favorites...
ReplyDeleteI actually like the woven slashes the best! Beaked is also nice.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, there are so many that I've loved! Fishes! Ribbon! Bisby!
ReplyDeleteOff kilter is definitely my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not eligible because there's absolutely no way I could pick a favorite. I /am/ a pretty big fan of the woven slashes, though!
ReplyDeleteThey're all great designs, but I think Dog Box Cold is my favorite, though - of course - I LOVE the fox couple! Good luck on the upcoming move!
ReplyDeleteI like Off Kilter! Thanks! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteAll your designs are fantastic but if I have to choose one it would be Crystal Nation!
ReplyDeleteMyrto
Off Kilter is my absolute favorite.
ReplyDeleteOff Kilter is my favorite. I enjoy your blog so much!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanna
I love Dog box cold. And I love your blog. Good luck with all your changes.
ReplyDeleteBeaked. That was my youngest sons favorite word as a toddler. He called anything nose-like or pointy a beak. He looked for opportunities to use beak all day long. He loves orange too.
ReplyDeleteI like beaked although knobby knees brings a smile.
ReplyDeleteI've loved watching your process with all these designs ~ my favorite here is Crystal Nation (Fox on the Town is pretty darn cute too)!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for such a generous giveaway!
You have a lot of neat designs and I can't choose one favorite. I have two. I would like to play with Kite Study, June 21, and (separately) with Make Things Happen, May 16. I like designs with a lot of opportunity for play before I come up with a final project decision, and these two would work well for that!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Any giveaway would make me happy. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDog box cold....
ReplyDeleteI love Dog Box Cold too, and some things I saw in the other post with your interview. I'm so glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteDog box cold is my favourite. I'd love to sew that one up.
ReplyDeleteCrystal Nation would be a lovely friendship quilt. Military life includes many transitions and this pattern would make a great farewell gift! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWow I like them all but off kilter is my favourite. Thanks for the chance to win a copy. I hope it is the first of many!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I have a day off next week I might have to buy it anyway.
I like Off Kilter. Congrats on your pattern!
ReplyDeleteI think I like Off Kilter the best, but there is appeal in each one, so choosing one is really hard. They are so striking in color contrast and powerful in design! Bravo and good luck with your move!
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your site and I love the daily work that you are putting out. The piece that struck me for more looks was off kilter - love the knobby knees as well - keep up the good work - a fan from Vancouver, WA
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, as I scanned down your patterns I was choosing who would receive each quilt that I'd make! My absolute favorites are Off Kilter and Dog Box Cold but my brain is still thinking about those Knobby Knees too! Congrats on your pattern and best of wishes on your move! Life is looking happy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your pattern!
ReplyDeleteToday the knobbly knees takes my fancy!
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about making more modern quilts and pillows. These are just what I am looking for!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it's called, but I love the one of yours that was on Sew Mama Sew that was the green Xs with little squares. I LOVE that one!
ReplyDeleteGreat pillow designs. I like Off-Kilter and the pattern featured on Sew MaMa Sew.
ReplyDeleteCharging (from way back in June), for sure! I think it'd be super for featuring large prints... {grin}
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck in settling into your new apartment. I like most of your designs and Woven Slashes is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKnobby Knees is just so fun!
ReplyDeleteI really like Off-Kilter, I'm a big HST fan
ReplyDeleteThey are all pretty cool, but I think the most awesome is Dog Box Cold. Really like your designs.
