Patisserie has shipped... & it's time for a giveaway!
March 06, 2009
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.
I have tons of your fabric and would love to have some of this new line, so here are my ideas!
J'adore
joie de vivre
très beau

Apple Orchard
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Peach Blossoms
Ginger and Spice
Sugar and Spice
The French Market
Vieux Carre
Moulin Rouge
Thanks for the opportunity to participate!

When I look at bolts of fabric it makes me feel so content. Other times I get that feeling is when I'm walking in a cherry orchard that's in bloom (the colors, and smell) so maybe-
Orchard Blooms
Indian Summer
Desert Rose
I'm not good at names, but I always love your fabric lines.
Posted by: Jessica | March 10, 2009 at 08:51 PM
what a wonderful collection! For us with mature eyes the already BAKED Collections are so easy to use!Although with the wonderful names like honey buns and turnovers our minds can easily wander to eating!I don't know many quilters who don't enjoy both and are good at both. How about TWICE BAKED? or Fritters? Red CAKE? Dutch Chocolate? Dinette Cake.(my grandmother's favorite)Struedal?thanks for the chance!

Patisserie looks very enticing and I would love to make something using it for some friends who have recently bought an old mill in France.
But to be constructive, can I persuade the designers to invent a successor to Urban Indigo? It must be my favourite fabirc line ever. The quilt I made from it excites me every time I look at it still (and I know what is wrong with my construction and quilting even iof others don't).
So how about Chambray and Champagne?
Adventures in Distressed Denim?
Blue and better?
But please do return to a similar palette!
Posted by: Paula | March 11, 2009 at 01:29 PM
How about:
petit gâteau
Thanks,

YUM the fabrics are gorgeous..... the search is ON! :)

Hi Joanna,
Your new line is so fabulous! 'Sugar Threads' or 'Warm Buttered Toast' are my votes for your contest because your fabrics are so yummy, that I could just eat them up!! Why is it that your fabrics always bring me to thoughts of food...mmm?!!! ha! I'm working on a king sized quilt for our bed with a little bit from Urban Indigo, Dandelion Girl and Allspice Tapestry...and wouldn't Patisserie be a great addition!! Oh and my other suggestion for a future pattern, etc...is 'Beaches and Dream' (or dreams if you will)...your fabrics are so soft, romantic and they always transport me to somewhere I want to go (like the beach)! Thanks for the beautiful fabrics, you are inspiring!

Hope I am not too late for the giveaway. How about chanson or musette, two styles of french music long associated with the cafe scene. Your fabrics are beautiful.

Posted by: stella | March 11, 2009 at 08:43 PM
So many great names, but they do sound more like a bakery. I was lucky enough to go to France and Paris and the colors in the sky are beautiful and inspirational. Many artists go there to paint. Here's a few thoughts:
Paris Nights
Paris Inspiration
Petite Palette
Paris Palette
Que Cera Cera
Fig-a-Licious
