Wow! I’m impressed. Truly, truly, truly impressed. I’m overwhelmed and extremely grateful with the response to the naming contest. You guys are unbelievably clever. I have a few more honorable mentions for great ideas I plan to use in other ways so stay tuned.
It’s been a crazy week with the school year FINALLY ending on Tuesday and a sweet young lady turning 10 and hosting her first sleepover birthday party. I was sewing the final strap on an oil cloth beach bag when I spotted the first mini-van pulling into our driveway. I didn’t even get pictures!
And the winner is… Sugar Cubes. Amy from Butter + Sugar left the following comment:
“My first thought was “Pink 28,” but that’s been taken…so I was imagining one of these luscious squares (with all of its possibilities) facing me on my cutting board, and came up with “Sweet Square,” “Sugar Square,” “Happy Square,” and of course “Fun Square.”
As soon as she said Sugar Square I immediately thought of Sugar Cube so I’m giving the win to her. Thank you for the imagery Amy, absolutely fabulous.
The random number generator selected comment #164, Tracey from Paper Dolls for Boys. Tracey will get a Stack Pack of Sugar Cubes just for playing. She suggested Chalk Stack which I really liked too.
The first shipment of Alexander Henry Fabrics arrived this week. The designs are fabulous. A stylized Southwestern take on the bandana. Wow. In Pink no less. The red is called ‘Old Red’, love that. I want to make a western shirt with pearl snaps and go to the Buckaroo Ball. I also received some classic prints including Pears and Apples, Diamond Eye and Hot Pink Mini Calaveras.
Thank you again for playing along. I had fun. Have a fabulously creative summer weekend!
Sugar Cube is perfect! What a lovely name for such a lovely thing.
I worked last night until 1 a.m., it’s that time of the month, and I’ve spent the morning trying unsuccessfully to get an interview for a day-job report due this afternoon. Your fantastic news that I won the naming contest has done more than just brighten my day–I’m positively thrilled!! A stack pack of Denyse Schmidt sugar cubes will make a wonderful patchwork cushion cover for my porch swing. Many, MANY thanks!!
Congratulations to Amy and Tracey! Sugar Cube, sounds great!
Love the new fabrics! Happy Summer weekend to you too!
Aw, that is a good one. I drew a complete blank, which was totally disappointing. And typical of me and contests.
Wow, what incredibly fun fabrics, I see all sorts of possibilities in them! And you’re a genius (with Amy as your Muse of course), Sugar Cube is absolutely perfect.
Just stumbled across your blog and wanted to say hello. Your work is beautiful!
Yep, I like the Sugar Cube name too. That fabric is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations to the winners and thanks for the fun!
Congrats to the winners!!!!! Even if I did think AMPLE EIGHTS was a sure winner!
No, I’m ok, really … I’ll just suffer a bit in silence. 
Happy weekend to all!
I just wanted to say thank you for answering the questions about how to get started quilting. Like others, I have wondered where to start. I took my first quilting class and even finished the quilt but am at a point of “what now”? So I am going to experiment and most definitely check out the books you recommended.
I love it! And the concept of that size and uses for that is so totally awesome!!!
There are those butterflies I used for my Mail Sack! I think I may have to get me some pink though. I cannot resist pink.
Hi Kathy,
I finally found your shop and love the bandana fabric. Did you know there is a place in southern Arizona called Bisbee? I’ve stayed at the Copper Queen there in the middle of July. And Cottonwood is a little town near Sedona and we used to vacation there in the summer when I was little. So what’s in a name? A lot! Sugar Cubes is inspired!
Thanks for hosting a nice contest! Love the name! Congrats to the winner!
Sugar Cubes is a great idea! I had a few but they were of course all taken by the time I got here.
I love the new fabric. My favorite from this picture is the white with pink spread out in front.
Sugar Cubes is a LOVELY name – i am adoring it!
Its perfect 
A big congratulations going out to Amy and Tracey!
Love your fabrics!
Thank you so much for my Sugar Cube! It just came in the mail and I’m excited to dig in. You’ve also sent TONS of folks my way! Thanks for both.
Cheers,
Tracey
