win your choice of three patterns (paper or pdf) from the Fishsticks Design Pattern Shop!

Fishsticks Designs offers sewing patterns for unique and modern clothing that is always practical for you and your family. Each pattern includes step-by-step instructions with words and pictures so that you can read and see what to do next. Bonnie, the creator of Fishsticks Designs, is also mom to six children, so she has plenty of experience with sewing for her own children (and she also happens to be an expert at sewing with knits). Her goal is to give you a great-fitting, easy-to-follow pattern each time!

win a $35 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop!

The Fat Quarter Shop was founded in 2003 by Kimberly Jolly. An avid quilter, Kimberly began her shop as a side business while still working a corporate position, cutting, packing and shipping right out of her house during evenings and weekends. From the very beginning, she was committed to delivering top-notch service for every single order and customer. As the Fat Quarter Shop's reputation grew, Kimberly decided to make it a full-time operation. Her husband Kevin joined her not long after, and with his help, lots of hard work, and a tireless commitment, the store began to grow. The Fat Quarter Shop continues to branch out with the best fabrics, exclusive kits, quilt clubs, BOMs, and more.... and they will always be driven by the passion that Kimberly founded the store upon, which is always giving you the best products and service!

Sew Well Maide is the quilt and accessories design and construction face of Karen Pior. from Karen, "Quilts are my passion. I spend my days designing, constructing and daydreaming about them. My children cuddle up and snuggle into them.
