Well hello there!
I hope you're all having an active and fun summer like we have been! So far it's been all about being outdoors, family, and a few home improvements. Now that the end of July is rolling around, I'm starting to feel ok about being indoors a bit and doing some sewing.
I have quite a few projects I want and need to work on, and I'm always happy to check something fabulous off my list
and this pencil case from Anna's book Handmade Style has been just the ticket.
Have you seen the projects in her book yet? So many fun things to make. I love Anna's asthetic and construction techniques!
And then, she has also recently come out with a fabulous fabric line called Rain Walk. Oh Anna....
These are a few of the prints I asked for and they are so lovely!
I used the top three prints for the pencil case
And the bottom print, Sprinkle in gray, I'm going to make a shirt with. Stay tuned for that!
Now, for a giveaway!
Anna has graciously offered up a signed copy of her book as well as a hard copy of her Runaround bag pattern up to one of you!
Leave one comment telling me your favorite print from Anna's line to enter the giveaway. I'll choose a winner this Friday the 25th.
Good luck!
I love Ripple in the Green and blue - and would I love to win this book - I have checked out from my public library so much, they have almost banned me !

I really like Ripple :)
Posted by: Jenn | 20 July 2015 at 02:40 PM
Ooh it was hard to choose just one, I think reflect in blue is my favourite
Posted by: Grace | 20 July 2015 at 02:42 PM
My favorite print is Swell! I like in both colors and think it's perfect for quilts, clothes, pouches and so so so much more!
Posted by: Jessee M | 20 July 2015 at 02:48 PM
I love the Sprinkle print best for sure! It evokes that light rain in puddles look.
Posted by: Lynn F | 20 July 2015 at 02:57 PM
Tumble in Navy! I think it'll be perfect with some fabrics from my stash.
And I've seen already a few projects form the book and they all look great!

Too many to choose from... But it has to be green sprinkle..

Drizzle in both colors makes me so happy! But really, the whole line is fabulous!
Posted by: Kristen | 20 July 2015 at 03:25 PM
It is hard to choose just one favorite, but maybe the Drizzle in blue/green is the one I like best!
The book is fabulous too!

Ripple in gray. Mmmmm!
Posted by: Beezus | 20 July 2015 at 07:03 PM
I love the orange fabric with the leaves. It is all so simple and really nice.
Posted by: Anita | 20 July 2015 at 07:04 PM
They are all so interesting but I think the Reflect or Drizzle in blue are the best!
Posted by: Arlene Stream | 20 July 2015 at 07:07 PM
I love the blue drizzle!
Posted by: Becky | 20 July 2015 at 07:10 PM
I like drift in pink!
Posted by: Lesley Griffel | 20 July 2015 at 07:26 PM
The Sprinkle print in gray is so subtle. I think it would make a great summer skirt -- and I would line the pockets with Swish in orange for a surprise!

I'd have to say a Ripple in navy, although I love the grey Also. And I'm thrilled in comes in canvas!

I really like Swish, but I wish it came in Navy - so I am going with Ripple in Navy.

They are aLl lovely but Drizzle in blue is my fav!
Posted by: mumbird | 21 July 2015 at 05:35 AM
Hi Penny! That's a great pencil case. I like ripple because it gives me an idea for a FMQ design and I like swell because it reminds me of gumdrops. Thank you for the giveaway.
