Thomas was sweet enough to give us a sneak peek well before the collection came out and I almost wish he hadn't .. the agony of the wait!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_239/Pear-Tree-by-Thomas-Knauer.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQHv7MH0i8oZAjCPcYDZHR_diCmx-dFGb5olyjpqMV_W6L9vcIMa32aoc4deyNuaq-cvrAGixnTY7sRakRzefq9fpUsXpOjE-l_2Wv63UO_bc64Xzl_nVL9qIHPd8NZ2odcQyoYWr0LBds/s1600/thomas-knauer-sews-pear-tree.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
As soon as we saw it, we knew we had to have it in its entirety. He's
got such a great sense of color and the patterns are superb. The guy
took inspiration from the Partridge Family and actually made them cool and
modern. <br />
<br />
For those who don't know Thomas, you really should take the time and get to know him. Read up on him on his blog, <a href="http://www.thomasknauersews.com/" target="_blank">Thomas Knauer Sews</a>, or follow him on Twitter, <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/waycoolkid" target="_blank">WayCoolKid</a>. He's as genuine, personable, and funny as they get. <br />

Artsy and Jenny have never resided in the same sentence ... not even close. Quiet for sure, reserved yep, math-nerd at times, weather-freak most definitely .. but creative, artsy, craftsy nope, nada. But I've always wanted to be and I've always been envious of others who are. <br />
<br />
I'm sure a lot of you are rolling your eyes right now, shaking your heads, saying "everyone is creative, everyone can be artsy" but truth be told, I've never allowed myself to be. And this goes way back. I can remember absolutely hating elementary school art class. I mean seriously ... who would rather be taking math speed tests than drawing in art class? Yep that would be me, the math-nerd. The very last art class I took was in 6th grade and I have never looked back. <br />
<br />
So what's my problem you may ask? Fear, plain and simple. Fear of being judged and being found unacceptable. Fear of being wrong or doing the wrong thing. Stupid, creativity-squashing fear. Give me a blank canvas and tell me to do something, anything and I will panic. I just can't do it. I wouldn't even know where to begin. After 30 years of holding back, I just can't seem to break through and allow myself to just create. Which makes what I've done this week so out of my comfort zone it makes me ill to even think about it ... but in a good way. I agreed to participate in a Modern Hoop Swap ... please hold while I get sick.<br />
<br />
What's a Modern Hoop Swap you may ask? It's where you create a modern embroidery hoop design using fabric, embroidery, buttons, you name it and giving it to whomever you are partnered with. Below is a sample of some of the hoops given in another <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1455261@N23/pool/with/5162330006/" target="blank">swap</a> and more can be found <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1455261@N23/pool/with/5162330006/" target="blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/1455261@N23/pool/with/5162330006/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX4gUUBqJ8s-oA7aF0vtn1Hi9jD2s0D2JJW0cbupgEZaNxQ3sJvO1XNu0KWm25bsc2Qi7QxcMKDKbh07GZirOHitsJctF6_ejMRTPdBEMXNLTs9nF3uIbdOIFSus9dhZ2d0ZSZalBLXG6I/s320/Hoop+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Gorgeous and so freaking creative! What the hell have I gotten myself into?! My first thoughts when it started getting bounced around Twitter was "absolutely no way", "I can't do it", "mine would suck and my partner would hate it" but at the same time a part of me really, really wanted to do it. So after some reassurance from some amazing <a href="http://www.twitter.com/LolaPink_Jen" target="blank">Twitter friends</a>, I agreed to do it. Oh boy! Bring on the panic attack.<br />
<br />
So if you follow me on <a href="http://pinterest.com/jbayherrick/" target="blank">Pinterest</a>, you know I've been <a href="http://pinterest.com/jbayherrick/hoopin-it-up/" target="blank">pinning hoops</a> like crazy and getting mad inspired. If I can just push through the fear that keeps creeping up, I'll be good and who knows ... might even be creative, dare we say "artsy"! :)<br />
<br />
Some encouragement would be welcomed LOL! <br />

I'm thinking the <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_1299/Rachel-Griffith-Pinwheel-Sampler-Quilt-Pattern.htm">Pinwheel Sampler</a> might just have to be the first one I do. I'm so in love with this pattern and think the <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_141/Pick-A-Bunch-by-Nancy-Mims.htm">Pick A Bunch</a> collection from Nancy Mims would look amazing. The perfect mix of blues and greens plus some great shots of pinkish-reds and yellows. Yum!<br />

Weeks upon weeks of stressful days has finally gotten us to where we are today ... our brick-and-mortar shop is open and we are having such a blast! {huge sigh of relief}So if you happen to be in the Lafayette, Louisiana area or maybe want to plan a special trip down, we would love for you to stop in and say "hello". <br />
<br />
Even though there's still a bunch of little things left to do, we decided to take a break today and do something fun. I chose to grab one of Amy Butler's Barcelona Skirt patterns and picked out some fabric. I've been wanting to make this skirt for quite some time and we finally got the pattern in stock (though we still need to get it online). Actually we have a whole bunch of new patterns to get online ... hmmm maybe I should be doing that instead of cutting out a skirt and blogging about it. Guilt is setting in but I must push through ... the skirt is going to be so cute!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDSr2o4qFWh-6XyJamgK8Nf-Ey90ZWlki6OzbCEBbDVbU5pxKz6ui5LMIZR2KW37azz_l6gHjjq0HTRwKtWSC4oV3FE-x55K5CBaiA-xTyLrPwvYo5iruIeyFO1vYofUIQnbJ6Zsm-Bxs8/s1600/Barcelona+Skirt_Cutting+Table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDSr2o4qFWh-6XyJamgK8Nf-Ey90ZWlki6OzbCEBbDVbU5pxKz6ui5LMIZR2KW37azz_l6gHjjq0HTRwKtWSC4oV3FE-x55K5CBaiA-xTyLrPwvYo5iruIeyFO1vYofUIQnbJ6Zsm-Bxs8/s400/Barcelona+Skirt_Cutting+Table.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
So what's on your cutting table today or is everyone out enjoying the holiday weekend? Don't know about where y'all are but it is hot and dry here. Good weather for either being out on the water or inside sewing. Might just get to do a bit of both if I'm lucky! :)<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!! <br />

So who's the lucky winner ........ <b>#17 Margie C</b>! Congrats, Margie! We will be in touch shortly. <br />
<br />
Even though the giveaway is now closed, we'd love to hear more suggestions. Our goal is to make Lola Pink Fabrics fabulous and we could use your help! The comments received so far have been great and are definitely making us think about how we want the shop set up. Keep them coming!!</i><br />
<br />
I cannot believe we are finally able to make our announcement!! It has been a LONG few months for us filled with stress, worry, excitement, fear, hopefulness, you name it .. we've probably felt it. And now the deal is done, papers have been signed, money paid ... oh my ... did we really just do this?? What in the world were we thinking?? I think I might throw up ........ OK ... don't pass out ... still have the announcement to make .......<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #ea9999; text-align: center;"><b>LOLA PINK IS GOING BRICK AND MORTAR!! </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">We could not be more excited to finally, FINALLY be able to say those words out loud for the whole world to hear or read as the case may be. For all the Lafayette, LA locals, we will be setting up shop in the On The Boulevard shopping center with the likes of Brother's, Caroline & Company, and Jason's Deli. <a target="blank" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=121+Arnould+Boulevard,+Lafayette,+LA&aq=1&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.37814,79.013672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=121+Arnould+Blvd,+Lafayette,+Louisiana+70506&t=h&z=17">Here</a> ... </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Yeah, definitely needs a bit (or lot) of work! LOL We will be in there busting our butts for the next few weeks and hope to open the doors somewhere around the first of May. Yay!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So what exactly does this mean for our non-local friends? In a word ... MORE ... more fabric, more patterns, more bundles, more kits, more blog posts (OK, don't laugh ... I know the blog has been severely lacking in the last few months but please refer back to paragraph 1), more projects, more features, all-in-all just more of us. And hopefully we won't scare y'all away. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">To get the party started, we've decided to have a little giveaway. Based on the overwhelmingly great response to the new <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_150/Sugar-Spice-by-The-Quilted-Fish.htm">Sugar & Spice</a> collection by <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_150/Sugar-Spice-by-The-Quilted-Fish.htm">The Quilted Fish</a>, we are giving away a fat quarter bundle in your choice of colorways ... either the pink/green, blue, or red ... 7 fat quarters in all. We just love this collection!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
So that's it ... our big announcement.Whew! Thank you to all our kind friends who offered up support during the trying and often comical process that led us to this point. We will be working hard to make our Lola Pink shop a place that people love and hope you all can come visit us! <br />
<br />
Much love and big thanks!<br />

If you've visited our blog lately, you've obviously realized we've been M.I.A for quite sometime. It's like a ghost town around here LOL. For that we are truly sorry. That will change soon one way or another very soon. I promise!<br />
<br />
Have y'all ever been so excited about something but so stressed out about it at the same time that you just basically become paralyzed waiting for it to happen? We've had an idea of where we want Lola Pink to go and finally put things in to motion in the last month or so. We should know within a week whether or not our dreams our going to come true. And to say I'm stressed out about it is an understatement. In one moment, I'm so confident and sure and then the next, I just think there's no way. The waiting and not knowing may possibly do me in before we get the final answer. For the most part though, I'm just paralyzed holding my breath until we hear something ... anything! We would really appreciate your good thoughts this week. Your good thoughts definitely help get us through the moments of doubt.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, we've done a bit of sewing but not too much. We had a very nice wholesale order come in for our <a href="http://www.prettyandpreppy.com/">Pretty & Preppy</a> baby items ~ yay! And we've both been working on getting caught up on Quilt Dad's <a href="http://www.quiltdad.com/p/bloggers-block-palooza-quilt-along.html">Bloggers Block-a-palooza</a>. Although all of my blocks are on the wonky side, it has been so much fun working on them. This is my very first quilt block ever ...<br />
<br />

I definitely wouldn't win any quilting awards for it but I love it still. More of the blocks can be found <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=10150094208103403&id=179644938402&aid=271800">here</a> and some gorgeous block from others can be found on the Block-a-palooza <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/bloggersblockapalooza/">Flickr page</a>. I've got more to upload but need to fix a couple of "issues" with them first. LOL<br />
<br />
I will finally be working on the blog in the next week updating all that is outdated. Including updating the <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_7/Coming-Soon.htm">coming soon</a> collections. We've got some AMAZING fabric collections coming our way and can't wait to get my grubby little hands on them. <br />
<br />
So please, if you haven't given up on us yet, hold tight. Good things are coming!<br />
<br />

While I certainly won't be winning any Applique Masters awards, I think it turned out OK .. if you can look passed the wonky antler bits that is.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX99sCElFXcMfDr2pp4nRMUegQ729ad8Q5QGB38xCxaZ5f19hmPZvHm_YFJyWiYFWzfVtuVRXQ8pYe4z8dUHVFabLpIUdbahGItSwhNU9y9Q7Zjzpk6YToEYEYA9hf0i7NoM8k4M82kI7n/s1600/Deer+Applique-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX99sCElFXcMfDr2pp4nRMUegQ729ad8Q5QGB38xCxaZ5f19hmPZvHm_YFJyWiYFWzfVtuVRXQ8pYe4z8dUHVFabLpIUdbahGItSwhNU9y9Q7Zjzpk6YToEYEYA9hf0i7NoM8k4M82kI7n/s400/Deer+Applique-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Now that I'm looking at it ... I probably should have chosen something with a few less tight turns. But honestly, that's just kinda how I do things. I'm not one to get skilled in the basics and progressing naturally. I'm more of a jump-right-into-the-fire kinda girl and learn as I go. Although usually at that point, I go back and try to figure out what I could have done better.<br />
<br />

One of my resolutions for this year was to start trying things. I'm still fairly new to sewing and there is so much for me to learn but I tend to hold back for fear of failure. I've let that fear hold me back from so much in my life not just in sewing and this is my year to live boldly. Yes, I agree ... applique is a pretty mild step but at least it's a step in the right direction right?!<br />
<br />
So here's to living boldly in 2011 and breaking out of my safe, little shell! I hope 2011 is just as life-changing for you as well. <br />
<br />
By the way ... any tips my Applique Queen friends have to offer would be GREATLY appreciated!<br />
<br />
What's next on my sewing scary list you ask .... making my own bias tape. EEK! <br />
<br />
Happy 2011, friends!<br />

In January 2010, we placed our first order for fabrics.

When I do find/make the time ... this look is definitely tops on the list. <br />
<br />
One of the first people we met at Quilt Market was the super cute and super sweet <a href="http://twopeasinapoddesigns.com/" target="blank">Trish of Two Peas in a Pod</a>. If you happened to miss my <a href="http://lolapinkfabrics.blogspot.com/2010/11/quilt-market-recap-pink-fig-patterns.html" target="blank">blog post</a> on Trish and her Two Peas in a Pod patterns, you should definitely check it out. Trish is one talented momma and we are so happy to be stocking <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_113/Two-Peas-in-a-Pod.htm" target="blank">her patterns</a>! <br />
<br />
Now, back to the reason for this post .... check out the jacket Trish is wearing ...<br />

So much so that I finally let her know how much I loved it. Come to find out, it's actually an altered version of the <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_355/Amy-Butler-The-Liverpool-Sewing-Pattern.htm" target="blank">Liverpool Tunic pattern from Amy Butler</a> which we just so happen to have in stock. Yippee!! <br />
<br />
It's a pattern that I've had my eye on for some time and even blogged about it <a href="http://lolapinkfabrics.blogspot.com/2010/09/perfect-pairing-liverpool-tunic.html" target="blank">here</a>. So while I still think it would look divine made using <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_240/Pat-Bravo-Paradise-Pond-Twilight--Half-Yard.htm" target="blank">Pond in Twilight from Pat Bravo's Paradise collection</a>, I'm leaning towards making into a jacket like Trish did using either <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_374/Anna-Maria-Horner-Innocent-Crush-Lovesme-Lovesmenot-Golden--Half-Yard.htm" target="blank">Lovesme Lovesmenot Golden</a> or <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_375/Anna-Maria-Horner-Innocent-Crush-Lovesme-Lovesmenot-Petal--Half-Yard.htm" target="blank">Lovesme Lovesmenot Petal</a> from <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_90/Anna-Maria-Horner.htm" target="blank">Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush</a> collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_91/Innocent-Crush-by-Anna-Maria-Horner.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="blank"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizgLkpf9Cn7mLSQ1u_agFGLGa6BoN2kKMWKOzO2DnhPKJY18U5-YbhgP28YW22q6_LlOnvpjNxh_j-QAWAYigFdKnd9my15QGtE1qSxLjnZtlrFakV_H-sWAVBgPBcwx6Je2CLQqSwIYgv/s400/Lovesme+Lovesmenot+Collage.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
From what I remember, she said it's the elbow length version but without the collar and buttons ... so basically, she made the pattern even easier! Sweet!<br />
<br />
Please, please, please let me find/make some time to get this made before we run out of the fabrics. <br />

<br />
I've been fortunate enough to go on some fun trips in the last few months and each time I took along my sad, overstuffed, broke-down makeup bag. There is nothing cute or fun about it anymore but yet there it is every time I go to pack. I mean seriously! The dang zipper broke MONTHS ago but yet I'm still taking it along nevermind that its contents end up scattered throughout the suitcase. UGH! <br />
<br />
So today as I unpack my suitcase and gather up my scattered goods, I vow to never travel again without having a proper makeup bag or bags and by-golly they will be cute! <br />
<br />
I can't think of a more perfect fabric collection than <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">Modern Affair by Pat Bravo</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Z9gbltYssdAlFzY2L8uh5602E_A8VY0kQ7KX0uV-Nco36VcDerEafFPNFTgnxY_sMcGnY3TY8yLHkLfyGbtDTKW8-avq63_IhsHTwfxLRrsq9MMdqIRIkqWlX-O8Zt553sI8TZVhFAnf/s400/Modern+Affair+by+Pat+Bravo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
This <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">collection</a> is all about vacation and fun!<br />
<br />
So now I'm off to first gather all my stuff from the extents of my suitcase and then track down some cute tutorials for new makeup bags. I'd also like to make a cute travel jewelery bag to go with it. If y'all know of some tutorials, please help a sista out! I'd post a pic of my current bag, but it's far to sad and embarrassing.<br />
<br />
Will definitely be posting an update once I get everything made. <br />

Y'all have won our Pink Fig Patterns and Two Peas in a Pod sewing pattern giveaway! We will be in touch shortly. :)</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<br />
How is it even possible that Quilt Market was over 3 weeks ago? And don't even get me started on the fact that Thanksgiving is Thursday ... THIS THURSDAY!! Insane. I can't even think about it without bringing on a panic attack. So I figure if I keep blogging about quilt market, then I can just pretend like we just got back and that holiday season is not starting this week. Yea, I'll just keep telling myself that. :)<br />
<br />
So, who's ready for another Quilt Market Recap post? Well then, let's get started .... how about we turn our attention to some fabulous pattern designers.<br />
<br />
One of the first booths we came across and just absolutely fell in love with was Trish Preston from <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_113/Two-Peas-in-a-Pod.htm" target="blank">Two Peas in a Pod and her Sprout patterns</a>.<br />

She takes the everyday items and makes them glorious. At the same time though, these are fairly easy projects that won't take you days upon days to make. And I love that she admits she's not a perfectionist in her sewing and doesn't expect anyone else to be either. Definitely my kind of sewing! Check out a few of the projects from the book ... they are adorable!<br />

She's such a designer superstar and could easily have snubbed us as being too small to talk to but instead she invited us right in and made us feel so welcomed. Hanging out and listening to her talk about her designs and creations was so much fun and you couldn't help but get inspired by how enthusiastic she was about her creations. It was definitely a highlight of our first market experience.<br />

He was so enthusiastic when talking about his Endangered Species Quilt Collection. You can tell he loves what he does and after hearing him explain how he setup the quilt patterns, I honestly think I might be able to make one. They are stunning and proceeds got to help protect the animals.<br />

We fell in love with her previous collection Prairie Gothic so much so in fact that I ordered some and have yet to use it or share it with mom. Evil I know.<br />

Overwhelming on so many different levels.<br />
<br />
Overwhelming in the shear vastness that was Quilt Market. We're talking 23 rows (long rows) of the latest designers, fabrics, colors, designs, patterns, quilts, goodies, and gadgets. Overwhelming in the number of superstar designers in attendance who would welcome you into their booth like you were lifelong friends. Even more overwhelming when we'd tell them we're from Lola Pink and they'd know who we are. Overwhelming in the colors and designs of the fabric collections that will be coming out soon. We've got so much new stuff coming our way, it's just insane and exciting! I could go on but I think you get the point. Quilt Market 2010 was fantastically overwhelming!<br />
<br />
We kicked off Quilt Market by attending the Schoolhouse Series of "classes" the day before market opened. We had absolutely no idea what to expect but they ended up being so much fun. We'd show up to "class" hosted by a designer, a manufacturer, an author, etc. and they would go in to detail about their upcoming products, share the inspiration behind their products, and give us retailers great tips. We attended classes hosted by Michael Miller Fabrics, Valori Wells and her mom Jean, the super sweet Deborah who wrote Stitch by Stitch, Lila Tueller, and of course Amy Butler. The classes were so much fun and so informative.<br />
<br />
Friday night we scored invitations to the Fabric 2.0 shindig hosted by the hysterically funny Caroline of JCaroline and Michael Miller Fabrics. We had such a blast hanging out with Jenean Morrison, Jan DaCinto (Daisy Janie), Michelle Engel Bencsko and Gina Pantastico (Cloud9 Fabrics), and Melissa Averinos. It was so much fun hanging out with everyone and finally getting a chance to relax a bit before the craziness of market got into full swing. <br />
<br />
And then Quilt Market opened ... WOW! We're actually going to break this down into several posts. We'll have two general posts just showing a snapshot of the booths and designers and then we'll have several posts that go in-depth and include fabulous giveaways! You definitely don't want to miss those posts! We scored some fabulous gifts from the designers!!<br />

We've only scratched the surface on what is was like to attend Quilt Market. We've got another recap coming tomorrow and then we'll go in-depth into some of the booths. Oh-yeah, there will be giveaways with those posts! Items we either bought specifically for giveaways and items signed and donated by the designers themselves. Woohoo! Our first giveaway will be an autographed copy of Amy Butler's latest book Style Stitches!! How fabulous is that?!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned! I'm telling ya ...you don't want to miss any of the upcoming posts!<br />

We're going to our very first Quilt Market this weekend! Woohoo!! I can barely wrap my head around how exciting it's going to be. The latest fabric designs, meeting the designers, new quilt patterns ... oh-my! How in the world did I get lucky enough to be able to attend something as exciting as Quilt Market? <br />
<br />
<u><b>Market Special </b></u><br />
<br />
Unfortunately, our trip to Market means that our shops will be closed while we're gone. You'll still be able to take a look around and place orders but any orders placed from Thursday, October 28th through Sunday, October 31st won't ship until Monday, November 1st. So what can we do to compensate you for the delayed shipping? Why offer a Market Special while we're gone of course!<br />
<br />
Choose all the fabrics that you want (including new arrivals and sale fabrics) and get <b>10% off all orders above $50 and 15% off all orders above $100</b> now through Sunday, October 31st. Pretty sweet deal right?! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="blank"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8lBmn97Exwuu5ix6qT_7E8SH238DQ-puTFaod0vcpMjb12B_CbKVxvDbNNb7Lc_nd6cJDaGXk3jP-aBkGfkHgF_sFVzMLRTvY7kFmayUAQnp2aUYvwuMnq-sKnV23YKo3pyoklbqm9M1F/s400/Market+Special.png" width="400" /></a></div>Nothing would make us more excited than to come home to a gazillion orders.<br />

I just love how bright and bold this <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_106/Isabella-by-Lila-Tueller.htm" target="blank">collection</a> is. How fabulous is Lila's new pattern The London Dress made using the <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_106/Isabella-by-Lila-Tueller.htm" target="blank">Isabella</a> fabrics? Right now we stock her <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_369/Lila-Tueller-London-Peasant-Top-and-Dress-Sewing-Pattern.htm" target="blank">London Dress pattern for girls</a> but will definitely be picking up her new version for Women.<br />

<u><b>Pretty & Preppy at Market</b></u><br />
<br />
As if going to Market wasn't exciting enough, some of our <a href="http://www.prettyandpreppy.com/category_8/Travel-Mugs.htm" target="blank">Pretty & Preppy travel mugs</a> will actually be used in a designer's booth display! Too insane for words!! Felicity Miller asked if they could use some of our mugs made from her <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_61/Gypsy-by-Felicity-Miller.htm" target="blank">Gypsy collection</a> in her booth and how could we say no?! How crazy will it be to be walking around Market and come across our <a href="http://www.prettyandpreppy.com/category_31/Gypsy.htm" target="blank">Pretty & Preppy travel mugs</a>. We might just die on the spot. We will definitely get pictures! <br />
<br />
Whew ... I think that's about all I wanted to cover for today. It's now time for me to get up and start packing! <br />

Jan worked with <a href="http://www.jaybirdquilts.com/" target="blank">Juile of Jaybird Quilts</a> to come up with design that would really show off the "geo" part of the <a href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_65/Geo-Grand-by-Daisy-Janie.htm" target="blank">Geo Grand collection</a> and boy did they! I love the geometric design of this quilt. Makes my little engineer heart sing! <br />
<br />
Even more exciting is that we will be able to admire the quilt in person when it's displayed in the Daisy Janie booth at Quilt Market! Yippee!

Modern Affair by Pat BravoWe are so excited today! {happy dance} We just got word that the new Pat Bravo collection <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">Modern Affair</a> is on its way to us! Yippee!! This is such a gorgeous <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">collection</a>.

LOVE!!<br />
<br />
In Pat's words, a <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">Modern Affair</a> is "an affair with texture and color. Hand drawn florals, a modern take on feathers, and stunning art nouveau wallpapers are mixed with today’s organic trend. Explosive Shades of turquoise and orange with neutral grays give these prints an eclectic feel." Such a great description for this fabulous <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">collection</a>. <br />
<br />
As with all of the collections we stock in the <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com">shop</a>, I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. The mix of colors and the prints are simply to die for. Definitely a swoon-worthy <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">collection</a>.<br />
<br />
We're going to go ahead and open this one up for pre-order. It should arrive in the shop by the latest on Friday which means we can turn around and start shipping it out on Saturday. Woot!! <br />
<br />
We would love to know which print in the <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/category_100/Modern-Affair-by-Pat-Bravo.htm">collection</a> is your favorite. It's such a hard choice for me but I'm thinking <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_421/Pat-Bravo-Modern-Affair-Rose-Garden-Mint--Half-Yard.htm">Rose Garden in Mint</a> is my fave. <br />

Love it! I also think <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_379/Anna-Maria-Horner-Innocent-Crush-First-Impression-Fruit--Half-Yard.htm">First Impression in Fruit</a> would look fabulous as well if you wanted something a bit more bold.<br />
<br />
Has anyone used the <a target="blank" href="http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_188/Make-It-Perfect-Sprout-Sewing-Pattern.htm">Sprout pattern</a> yet? We would LOVE to see pictures! Be sure to upload your pictures to our <a target="blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/lolapinkfabrics/">Flickr Group</a>. Actually if you've made anything with our fabrics, we would love for you to <a target="blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/lolapinkfabrics/">share your pictures</a>. I never fail to get inspired when I see what others are making. How about you?<br />
