Lunden Designs Sewing Patterns & Birch Organic Fabrics Giveaway!!!


a few weeks ago i spotted the new quilt patterns from melissa of lunden designs sewing patterns.  i fell instantly in love.  what can i say?  curves, curves, curves and of course, birch fabrics!  a win/win in my book people!


you all know i'm a huge fan of birch organic fabrics (the patterns were inspired by them) and i adore sewing curves.  so when melissa generously offered up a chance for me to review her newest patterns & for you to win them i, of course, willingly obliged. hello....how could i say no right?...lol.


i mean look at this quilt?  it's been fixated in my mind for weeks.  i kept staring at it on my pinterest board and drooling over that yummy block.  i looooove it.  i can definitely see this quilt, which is called "star gazer", being made in our house sooner than later.


but let's not forget "by sea or by land" either!  i adore this one as well!  both quilts are fun, modern and great for showcasing your fave fabric lines.  both of melissa's patterns are suitable for anyone looking to try out a quilt with curves so don't be scared.  it really is easier than you think it is and melissa walks you through each step.


lunden designs sewing patterns are very clear, well written and include full size pattern pieces and diagrams/illustrations along with each pattern.  she explains each step in a way that makes it accessible and easy to follow as well as includes helpful tips and hints to make the process as simple as possible.
lunden designs quilt patterns
the construction is fun & creative for each quilt.  i can't wait to try them both out!  both of these patterns use the lovely 100% organic fabrics from birch organic fabric and were inspired by them.  i've had the pleasure of sewing with these fabrics more than a few times and they have a lovely hand and are a super soft.  a perfect combination for a gorgeous quilt!  the modern, retro & whimsical designs that birch organic fabric is known for pair well with melissa's fabulous quilt patterns.

are you ready to find out what you could win?  yay!  so excited!

If you would like for me to write you back instead, just leave your email addy (blogger doesn't always give it to me) and I'll send you a hello!
