Patisserie has shipped... & it's time for a giveaway!

I love those words... "has shipped"  or the words " is arriving on store shelves" or the phrase " has hit the streets"... need I say more?  There is something about those words that is exhilarating for me as a designer. It is the moment of truth. I have envisioned & designed it. The design team has executed it. The mills have created it. MODA has marketed and sold it. Stores have bought it. I have gushed about loving it. But until now, you haven't gotten to play with it! Until now....

And so here it is and hopefully at a store near you or if not certainly at an online store near your fingertips! 

Even as I was gushing some more about it here for this wonderful gal, I couldn't help but find myself back on those little criss crossing streets...

So here it is... just in case you don't already have your hands on some of these goodies we are having a little giveaway and a name contest all at once. 

We are giving away 1 Jelly Roll™, 1 Honey Bun™, 2 Turnovers™, a complete set of Patisserie patterns & a surprise gift for the winner[s] of the name contest. 

When you leave your comment, please share with me some possible names for my upcoming projects. I can't share the projects quite yet but you all did such a fabulous job with names last time we did this that I am confident you can come up with some again "project sight unseen". 

Use Patisserie as your inspiration and just go for it! Multiple entries for names are just fine but we will only count 1 towards the contest.

We will choose winners next wednesday...

These below are the gorgeous Patisserie pages from the infamous MODA Playbook given out at Market. Can't  you just feel yourself transported??

Thanks for playing along.

Talk to you soon.

Congrats! How exciting.
The Patisserie pages are beautiful.

Okay, I'll take a stab at this...

Coulis - a simple, yet elegant enhancement to French pastries. I love the concept but not sure it would be mainstream enough?

Éclair - a filled and/or glazed French puff pastry. Everyone knows what an Éclair is and it's a beautiful word.

Marjolaine - a buttercream, hazelnut and mocha French dessert with puff pastry. Another beautiful word to see and to say. Of the 3, I like this one.

Have a great day!

[Lorraine]

[Mary on Lake Pulaski]

Your new fabric line is awesome (as usual) and love the patterns that go with them.

I only have one idea (so far) and it is "Très Chouette" meaning "really great" as are all of your creations.

I love the Patisserie line and have already ordered the turnovers and yardage to make a quilt. As with those delectable French pastries and breads, I was unable to resist the temptation of Patisserie! How about Viennoiserie, Delice Napoleon, Chaussons (Aux Pommes…or whatever wonderful fruit colored fillings you can dream up!), Savarin Chantilly(love those creamy whites with a dash of red), Brésiliennes (for the wonderful shades of muted cocoa browns)or Petite Choux Chantilly (for the creamy whites).

In French class, we would always use "Boulangerie patisserie" together. Boulangerie is really more of just a bakery where as patisserie is more like what it sounds like, a paistry shop, so if you want a complimentary name, that would be good. I always think of the museums and churches of Paris, not to mention some of the famous landmarks. I think one of the most fitting names might be Montmatre, the area in which Sacre Coeur sits, which as dozens of fabric stores all around. It's heaven. If you're looking for something more floral, there are tons of gardens all throughout the city. I list some names below.

So my suggestions are:
Boulangerie
Fields of Lavender
Churches: Sainte Chapelle, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur
Museumes: La Louvre, Le Centre Pompidou, Muse D'Orsay
Arrondissements - how Paris is divided
Momtmarte - fabric CITY!!!
Gardens: Jardin des Tuileries, Jardin du Luxembourg, Jardin des Plantes...
Les Bateau Mouche (literal translation, "Fly Boats"... they travel down La Scine)

[Jeannette]

I am very patiently waiting for Patisserie to reach our shores in New Zealand. For names about
Parisian Romance
Raspberry Creams
It is so good that we can look at and eat our fill of these beautiful fabrics and not gain any weight. Weight Watchers Delight

[jen]

I just love this line. Scrumptious!
