Thank you Australian Homespun

Australian Homespun 13.3 2012 For Australian Homespun 13.3 2012

Friends of Polka & Bloom in Australia can now pick up a copy of Australian Homespun (issue 13.3) with a pattern made especially for that magazine! And not only that, there's an interview with me!

And would you look at that, they put my name on the cover! At first I didn't even notice because I was so excited to see the spreads inside. When I noticed the cover, we were driving and I think I startled my husband slightly when I yelped "OMG my name is on the cover!" ;-)

You can click on the images to view them larger over on Flickr if you fancy.

Thank you Mollie Makes + a give away

In Mollie Makes 8
I'm very excited to tell you that three of my patterns are in the new issue of Mollie Makes magazine! And they made them look sooo good, the Mollie Makes peeps definitely know how to make things look Just So. Unfortunately, the (lack of proper) light here today means my photos of the magazine aren't showing it in all its glory. But believe me, it's pretty!

The magazine also has loads of other pretty projects and articles, so it's definitely worth getting hold of a copy!

If you're not in the UK it might be difficult to get your hands on a copy, so I put together a special offer with those 3 patterns. You can buy all 3 patterns for just $10. And the patterns in the shop of course have lots of bits you won't get in the magazine, like different sizes and extra motifs. Check it out here. (Offer ends on December 11th, 2011)

But wait! There's more! A give away! Three different prizes - three winners!

Prize One:
One set of the three patterns.

Prize Two:
A copy of Mollie Makes (plus the pretty wall calendar which comes with it) 
- I'd like to give this to someone who's not in the UK, so please tell me where you are in the world.


Prize Three:
With the magazine also came a rather pretty wall calendar. We're not that into wall calendars here chez Polka&Bloom, so I'd like to give the calendar, from the copy I bought myself, to someone who is.

To enter: leave a comment on this post with your email address, so I can get in touch with you.

Give away ends on Sunday, November 27th.

The give away is now closed. Thank you for all your comments. The winners will be announced in the next post.

Polka & Bloom in Mollie Makes magazine!

Polka & Bloom pattern in Mollie Makes magazine
By now you may have heard of the lovely new crafty magazine called Mollie Makes? It's really quite fab, and the fabness got turned up a few notches (at least in my humble opinion) in this current issue because my Dala Horse pattern got a mention.

How exciting and awesome is that?! :-)

Thank you, Mollie Makes!
