Fig Tree Quilts Giveaway

Sep 22nd, 2009 by Kathy

One of my favorite things about writing in this little space are the unexpected connections that get made. I received an e-mail last week from Joanna Figueroa of Fig Tree Quilts. She’d come across a blog post showing the laundry bag from her Easiest Accessory Bags Ever pattern. Then she followed a link from that blog back to my post on the same pattern.

She asked if I thought my blog readers would enjoy a Fig Tree pattern giveaway! Well… besides totally making my week to receive such a lovely e-mail from a designer I admire so much I was floored when the package arrived: 24 of her fabulous patterns! This girl knows how to do a giveaway!

New to me was Fresh Vintage, a quarterly 12-page, full color, card stock booklet containing vintage-inspired Fig Tree & Co. patterns, designer bios, style and decorating ideas, and simple recipes. I’m in love with this idea. A mini magazine full of inspiration, projects and patterns, all without the ads! Look for these in the shop soon.

I’ll select the winners on Friday. Leave a comment sharing your favorite Fig Tree project (one you’ve made or one you’d like to make). Comments are now closed, thank you!

Be sure to explore Joanna’s blog and website for even more inspiration.

Thank you Joanna!

There are so many beautiful Fig Tree patterns. I would love to try the My Paris Traveler’s Bag because I am in need of a sweet new overnight bag.
One day I would love to have the skills to make the Bird Song quilt.

Hello There! I hope the family is feeling better, never fun being under the weather. What a lovely bunch of patterns and so generous. I especially like the Little Picasso pattern and the Purseletts pattern, both would be great for the gift giving season that is fast approaching. Happy Autumn to you!!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 12:55 pm3Denise

I gotta say, the Easiest Accessory Bag Ever pattern is my favorite, but I think that is mainly because it’s the only one I’ve had a chance to try so far. I am hoping to change that now that the kids are in school and the days are getting shorter. Maybe the Bon Appetite, Scarfletts & the Slipper Cuties for gifts? I love that you can use fat quarters for a lot of these.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:03 pm4Alisa

I haven’t had the opportunity to use one of these patterns yet. They all look so beautiful! The ones that interest me are ‘No Fail Zippers’ and the quilt pattern ‘French Kiss’. Very nice giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:03 pm5Nichole

I’ve really wanted to make that Paris Travel Bag. I have not gotten around to buying the pattern and doing it yet though.

I have made the Chantilly quilt. I really liked the results, however, it was a lot of work!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:05 pm6Karen E.

I want to make the Jelly Girl pattern. I really love her items and what a great giveaway. - Karen
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:07 pm7molly

That was so nice of her to do such a generous giveaway.I think I would like to try the purselet or the slippers!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:07 pm8Joanne

I love the Little Picasso! Perfect for my 3 yr old. BUT, it is hard to choose. They are all so wonderful.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:08 pm9egater

I lovedifferent bags, so I have to do one soon. Sugar Pumpkin is also in my mind
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:10 pm10Jenny

I am not much of a seamstress. That being said, I would love to learn. I would love to try the ‘ Little Picasso’ pattern to make some cute smocks for my cute nieces, I have lots of them and it would be great practice! I also am loving the ‘Christmas Rose’ Pattern, I need to make stockings for Christmas, and lets face it the red felt ones just aren’t cutting it anymore.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:12 pm11~Michelle~

I like all of the Fresh Vintage patterns - so cute! Would love to make one of those quilts
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:12 pm12Amber

What a wonderful giveaway and so generous of her!! I love all their patterns - the Paris bag is lovely and I love the idea of her mini-magazine…I’m a sucker for magazines!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:13 pm13Lauren

Oooooo, good giveaway. I love the little picasso pattern, and the slippers pattern as well. They are both really cute!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:13 pm14Marissa

I like all the patterns but I would really like to try the travelers bag. Thanks for the give away.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:13 pm15Nicole B.

I love the easiest accessory bag ever pattern. It really is so simple to make! I am dying to get the “purselett” pattern and make those, they look adorable and great for gift giving! She really has so great patterns on her site!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:14 pm16Holly

I would love the easiest bag ever pattern. I am teaching a group of home school girls how to sew and they would love to make those bags!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:14 pm17Bobbi

What a fabulous giveaway! The ‘My Paris Traveler’s Bag’ pattern looks great, but I’m a quilter at heart. ‘Summertime Stars’ would be a sweet quilt to sew.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:15 pm18Alicia

I would love to make the slippers or the easiest bag ever (a girl can never have too many bags!).
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:15 pm19Julie B

Oh, how have I missed these fabrics??? Gorgeous…. and the patterns, too! Love the purselette idea, and the slippers, too!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:16 pm20Candice

Wow! Joanna has quite a collection of patterns to choose from. Fresh Laundry caught my eye! Thank you for this opportunity!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:18 pm21Carrie

all the quilt patterns are gorgeous. I would love to try the sweet slippers!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:18 pm22Chris

I have the pattern & fabric to make the jelly stars - just need to find the time! I would also like to make petite fleurs - love the simplicity of the pattern
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:19 pm23Doris

Joanna is so talented, I’ve been an admirer of her’s for a long time! Love the Rosettes pattern (one I’ve been dying to make!) and I agree, Kathy, that Fresh Vintage idea is a stroke of genius!

I love the little slippers pattern, it would be a great complement to Christmas PJs. I also love the little picasso pattern.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:22 pm25DianeY

I love the Fresh & Vintage quilt from the front of her booklet. It shows off her fabrics beautifully!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:24 pm26Mary on Lake Pulaski

I would love to make French Kiss out of the Mill House line - it would be awesome!! Thanks Joanna for sending patterns Kathy’s way!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:26 pm27Stephanie

What a fantastic e-mail and giveaway. Joanna has a gorgeous blog and sense of style. I love the Sugar Pumpkin.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:30 pm28jennifer

i’ve been wanting to try the slippers pattern (there’s a bunch of kids and babies in my family i want to sew for) for a little while now. so many of the quilt patterns are just yummy - circle of stars, french kiss and petite flowers are some of my favorites.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:32 pm29Wendy P

Isn’t Joanna great? I emailed her recently because I say a beautiful quilt made from her fabrics, and although I saved the picture, I could not find the information again. She actually found it online and sent me the info!! I was amazed!

Yes, please, I would love to make the Little Picasso apron as gifts for some coworker’s 3 year olds. Art is so important and its more fun in a fancy apron, right?
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:32 pm30Lisa

What a great giveaway! I haven’t done a lot of quilting lately, but would love to try out that painter smock. The stocking pattern on the website looks charming as well, and I’m in the market for a stocking pattern!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:33 pm31Barb

What a great give-away - I wasn’t familiar with her patterns but loved looking at the shop. I loved the Little Picasso pattern the best!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:39 pm32Kristen B.

I’m starting to pick projects that make great Christmas gifts - and those Slipper Cuties would make terrific gifts!!!

I just love your blog - and I love your online shop, too! So inspiring!

Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:42 pm33Sarahs Corner

My favorite Fig Tree pattern ( and bag pattern in general right now) is the Paris bag! I just made one for my mom and I am so in love with the design of the pattern I cant wait to make myself one. The bag is super roomy (it takes 2 king size pillows to fill it up!) and I just love the quilting that you do on the outside.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:46 pm34Cara

Lovely stuff!
All the items are gorgeous, very cute patterns but would love to try one of the quilting patterns as just getting into that! All the bag patterns look lovely as well. Never seen Fig tree in the UK.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:48 pm35Kathie L

I just love the Rosettes quilt pattern. It is on my TO DO list one day. Her fabric looks so good in this, and all, her patterns.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:53 pm36Sandrine

All her patterns are sooooooo wonderful ! I wish I could try them all !! I would love to start by the scraflets, the petite gateau, sugarpumpkins,….. thanks soooooooo sosooooooo much for this amazing giveaway !
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:53 pm37Linda C

I would love to try the Sugar Pumpkin. The cell phone pattern was toooo cute! and soooo easy! Thanks……for the great giveaway.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:56 pm38Chelsea

I haven’t used one of these patterns yet, but if given the chance I’d take ANY of the quilt patterns. They’re all so beautiful…and I love the Cherry Creams on the Fresh Vintage quarterly.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:59 pm39Becca

I have actually been itching to get my hands on a Little Picasso pattern. My niece recently received a easel for her birthday, and I think she needs a super cute little smock. Also I think it would be fun to try my hand at the My Paris Traveler’s Bag, in preparation for my upcoming trip to Dallas… oh, and the French Kiss Quilt Pattern looks fun, and something that I might be capable of finishing… she really is a marvelous designer.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 1:59 pm40Lesley

Fig Tree Quilts is totally new to me! I’ve been going on lots of weekend trips lately and never have a bag that’s “just right”. I’d love to try making the ‘My Paris Traveler’s Bag’…it could be just the bag I’ve been needing!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:00 pm41Janet

The Fig Tree patterns are great! There are too many to pick a favorite!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:01 pm42Kelly O.

honestly I have been hemming and hawing on making the laundry bag myself and just haven’t gotten around to it!
but I WANT to!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:05 pm43Karen

That’s easy… the Accessory Bag pattern..I purchased from you shortly after your blog post. I found these awesome chambray/white RL sheets at a thrift store that I am going to use for the bottom/lining and then I’ll get fun prints for the main bag body to make bags for each of my nieces/nephews next year… Thanks to you and Joanna for the giveaway, how fun!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:05 pm44Kristine

I’m loving the Petit Fours quilt pattern, the pattern on the cover of Fresh Vintage, and the pursletts! All of patterns look so amazing!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:05 pm45Allie Anderson

Wow, what a generous giveaway! I haven’t tried any of these patterns, but I would like to. I would love to try the easiest accessory bag ever pattern.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:07 pm46Diana

I haven’t tried any Fig Tree patterns but love the opportunity to try one. I’d love to win the giveaway. They all look fabulous.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:09 pm47Junglewife

I have been drooling over their sugar pumpkin pincushion kit!!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:15 pm48Coralee

oooooh delicious! So hard to choose (i’d love to try so many), but I think the slipper cuties pattern would be fun to try. Such amazing patterns!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:16 pm49Jamie

So fun! I am in the middle of piecing a quilt using Joanna’s Fig and Plum fabrics and I signed up for the Fig Tree Club, so I’m excited to get the first project next month. Thanks Kathy and Joanna!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:17 pm50Kim

I was just admiring her new Little Picasso pattern at my local store the other day. So adorable and so simple. I would love to have that pattern to make “smocks” for my little 4-year old, Emma. I was even thinking that it would make a great “Dorothy” apron for her Halloween costume. Don’t you think?
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:17 pm51Carol Campbell

Have always wanted to try The Easiest Tote Bag Ever and love Twilight Bloom.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:19 pm52Emily C

The “Prairie Sweets” quilt looks awesome, but I’m thinking I’d better stick with something a bit easier…like maybe “Stepping Stones” or “Daisy Chains.” I’ll try anything by FIG TREE!!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:20 pm53John

What a great giveaway! I love Joanna’s work — her fabrics and her patterns! I have to wonder if it was my laundry bag that led her to you … ? : )
If so, I am so glad to have made the connection that led to these great prizes!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:22 pm54Megan

Wow, what a great giveaway!! I love all the patterns she has. So sweet and refreshing. I really like the French Kiss quilt pattern. But really, I would make anything.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:22 pm55Leslie

What a score! How generous! Would love to try the tote and slippers! What a terrific site too.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:25 pm56Nancy

I’ve purchased the Jelly Stars pattern, but haven’t made it yet. I really want to, though, if I can only get past all my WIPs! Please enter me in your giveaway. And thanks to you and Joanna for the generosity!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:32 pm57kristine hanson

http://thingstomakeinsteadofdinner.blogspot.com/2009/06/teacher-gift.html

I made a patch work quilt for my daughters kindergarten teacher with charm packs from the fig and plum (I believe that is the name of it) line…..the teacher loved it!! I also won from YOU the pattern for the little bowls…it is on my to do list…would not mind another pattern to add to the list
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:33 pm58Carrie L

I’ve never tried any of the Fig Tree patterns. I think the Sugar Pumpkin and the Little Picasso patterns are both really cute! Thanks to both of you for the fun giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:33 pm59Rachel

I’m impressed that she maintains her look with everything she produces. After looking through her site, I think I need to make Les Fleurs. I can picture it in my bedroom. Also the Madeline skirt looks fun. I wonder if I could pull it off.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:37 pm60Jodie

I love the quilt patterns - Prairie Sweets really caught my eye, but they’re all divine. The bags are lovely, too. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:44 pm61Abby

I love the little girl clothes but I don’t have any little girls. I love the pattern Prairie Sweets too!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:44 pm62Ming

I love Fig Tree fabric and patterns. I’ve only made one thing so far….Little Patches Lunchbag from Easiest Handbags Ever and I love it!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:45 pm63Carol

I made the slippers and also the accessory bags. Great patterns and easy to follow. Next I would like to try the Little Picasso or the Sugar pumpkin. They would be great for Christmas gifts.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:45 pm64Lorrie Orr

I’d love to try making the Paris Traveler’s Bag, and those petit gateaux are just scrumptious.

Lorrie
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:48 pm65Jenny

The quilt patters are especially nice looking, and Fresh Vintage looks like it would be a lot of fun to flip through. I think the pattern I would most like to try is “Jelly Girl”. Thanks for sharing such nice looking patterns!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 2:49 pm66katie

Wow! What a great giveaway! I love all her stuff! But, truth be told, I am most inspired by her logo, that fantastic dress! That magazine looks really cool, too. Love your blog, and thanks for the chance to win!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:02 pm67Beth

I love those Bon Appetite fabric bowls!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:11 pm68Deborah C.

I’ve been considering the accessory bag and handbag patterns for a while, but haven’t got around to doing them. Love the quilts, too!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:13 pm69Polly

I’m all about the Paris Traveler’s Bag…life is far too short to not share it with a very large collection of wonderful handmade bags. I have ogled Fig Tree patterns from afar for some time but have never made one…yet.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:15 pm70Marianne

I LOVE the Fresh Laundry quilt pattern! I know its not one that she sent you, but its one I’m adding to my Christmas list!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:17 pm71Octavia Pitts

I really like the Little Picasso dress. I hope to make it for my daughter.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:18 pm72Cynthia

What a fun experience to have joanna contact you and send you all those patterns! Personally, I love Madeline and Petite Fleurs.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:19 pm73Carrie

I always like to try something new. The easiest accessory bag has been on my mind after seeing it on your blog. I think it would make a great laundry bag gift for my daughter and friends when they leave for college.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:21 pm74Linda

What a generous gift! Thank you, Thank you Joanna, and Kathy, of course. I wouldn’t have been introduced to Fig Tree Quilts patterns without you! I was inspired by the same blog entry that Joanna saw. My daughter, my grandpuppy and I took a 2 week road trip in June. We drove from here in San Diego to southeastern Oklahoma to visit my Sister and Brother-in-Law, with a side trip to Little Rock, Arkansas to see the Clinton Presidential Center. I would recommend it to anyone in/going to Little Rock. It is lovely, and as “Green” as they could make it.
I don’t know if I could say we “bonded” on this trip - she is, after all, 25, and thinks I’m an “old lady” - but we had a good time. I have purchased the fabrics to make us commemorative “Easiest Accessory Bags Ever” in some fun trip-themed fabrics. Even though we didn’t travel Route 66, I got some fabric with that theme, some road talk (”are we there yet”, etc.), some western looking fabric (Red with a curvy “rope” stripe), one with gas pumps and another with dog paws on it. A blue linen for the bottom, and I think I’ll use some muslin for the lining. I think I got enough to make us the Laundry Bags, and one or both of the smaller ones. It took awhile to accumulate just the right ones by online, and I got what I could from you, Kathy!!
While I don’t have any little ones at home (she’s my baby), I do have Grandkids (besides the grandpuppy) - 11 counting the one due in February! I would love to win a pattern.
Thanks again, Kathy and Joanna
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:24 pm75Ruth

Oooh awesome! I like the Jelly Stars quilt pattern. It would be awesome with a rainbow burst sort of color scheme.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:29 pm76Tammy

I love the LIttle Picasso pattern, but I have to be honest, I love all her patterns, I have made quite a few, but that smock is ADORABLE.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:30 pm77Mary

I love the Madeline dress! The Bon Apetit bowls are pretty adorable too!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:36 pm78Jenn

Love the Little Picasso and the Traveler’s Bag!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:38 pm79Candied Fabrics

Ooh! So pretty! I’ve been eyeing the paris traveler’s bag - but her description of the no-fail zippers on the purselettes has me needing that one!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:41 pm80Marie

What a great giveaway - so generous! I love the colours used in these patterns. The Petit Gateau is a pattern I would love, or any of the bag patterns, especially the purselettes!
Courtepointe
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:41 pm81Diana L

What fun!!! I haven’t made a Fig Tree pattern yet but what fun it was looking at the site and drooling all over the patterns. Let see… where to start. I loved the Bon Apetite bowls, So Fail Zippers, and those Oh So Sweet Slippers!!! Thank you Joanna for the chance to win and Thank you Kathy for passing on the goodies!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:43 pm82Erin

I would love to make French Kiss! Really I love all her patterns. And that laundry bag is calling to me.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:45 pm83Marion

I would like to try one of these patterns. Look great!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:49 pm84Michelle

I had no idea she had a blog… how wonderful. I just love the way the Fig Tree patterns look, and her prices are so reasonable. Little Picasso has to be my favorite, and something I’d really love to try!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:53 pm85Liane

I’d love to make the My Paris Traveler Bag–I may even be able to pull it off! Fantastic giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:56 pm86Heather G.

I purchased the Milk & Cookies dress pattern by Fig Tree Threads & absolutely loved how simple & easy her directions were! My 11 mth old daughter had a new dress in just a couple hours. I would love the Bon Appetite pattern. I’ve been looking for a nice way to store my most used notions (instead of the clear Gladware containers they are currently in!)
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:58 pm87Mountain Mom (Rachel)

I’ve seen the fig colors before but never followed them back to the source. How nice to discover the website and so many patterns. I will definitely be checking out the Fresh Vintage mini magazine for inspiration. As for which project interests me most, it is the Madeline dress form applique project. That is lovely in the fig colors but also an open invitation to try it in several other color patterns. I can envision three dress forms in a row on my wall, each with different color themes. Thanks.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 3:59 pm88Elizabeth

For me it’s the purslette with the no fail zippers. Like Joanna I think of myself as a quilter, not a seamstress, so the htought of zippers totally freaks me out. I’d love to give this pattern a go!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:06 pm89Lisa

Such generosity! I love the slippers and the bon appetit basket - so cute.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:06 pm90Margaret

I have the Jelly Stars pattern and several jelly rolls that I’m looking forward to using. I’ve always wanted to make one of those stars but was put off by all those bias edges. Jelly Stars is all strip piecing, so much easier! What a great giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:10 pm91Kris

I haven’t tried a Fig Tree pattern, but there’s no day like today, right?
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:13 pm92Margie

Ohh, that girl rocks! I would love to try one of her patterns. I actually have the laundry bag bookmarked for my to do list. Thanks so much. I’ve got my fingers crossed.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:18 pm93natalie

all her patterns are so cute! the slippers and the little picasso patterns are my favorite! if i knew how to quilt i’d definitely make the les fleurs one!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:20 pm94Becky

These patterns look amazing. My eyes went right to the slippers on her website. I guess I am dreaming of cooler weather!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:29 pm95Laura

I LOVE Fig Tree Quilts! I only just discovered them and have been drooling over their website for a little while. I think my favorite pattern (hard to choose!) is the Petite Fleurs, but I also really like Peppermint Swirl, especially with the holiday season coming up.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:40 pm96Kaye Prince

I love Fig Tree and Joanna is so sweet! I haven’t made anything using a Fig Tree pattern yet, but I have used Fig Tree fabrics! Scroll down a bit to see the monkey I made using some fabrics from the Mill House Inn collection: http://miss-print.blogspot.com/2009/08/im-back-did-you-miss-me.html

I really love Fig Tree patterns, and two of the ones I’d love to try are the Paris Traveller’s Bag and the Prairie Sweets quilt pattern. I’d also really love to check out the Fresh Vintage magazine.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:40 pm97Suzanne

I love the Fig Tree club right now. The quilt top that uses Mill House Inn is gorgeous and I’m itching to make it!

Thank you so much for the generous giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:53 pm98Mama Urchin

Wow, she’s prolific! I really like the french kiss pattern.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:57 pm99Paula

I love the Easiest Tote Bag Ever Pattern and hope to make it as Christmas gifts for firends and family. Actually all the Fig Tree Designs are to die for!!!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:58 pm100Megan

What a nice giveaway! I’d like to try the Paris Traveller’s Bag, and she has so many beautiful quilt patterns.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 4:59 pm101kathy

awesome! i love the little picasso apron and the easiest accessory bag too. thanks for the chance to win! singinsweet2002(at)yahoo(dot)com
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:09 pm102Lissa

The “My Paris Traveler’s Bag” looks fabulous, perfect for my trip to Geneva next month. It’s not Paris, but oh so close to France! ( Equally chic over there would be the purseletts for a night on the town.)
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:17 pm103Sally

Oh my gosh! I love Fig Tree! What a great giveaway~
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:18 pm104Caroline

I would love to try the purselett - thanks for such a great giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:23 pm105Jackie

All her patterns and fabrics are so yummy! But I have to say I adore her Rosettes Quilt pattern. Just simply gorgeous!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:24 pm106Jean C.

I love the new “Sugar Pumpkin” pattern… it’s so sweet! I think it would be so fun to make. I haven’t gotten that far yet. But I would like to add to my collection. It would make such a cute pincushion! Also the laundry bag and the huge shoulder bag are great too. So many patterns…. so little time!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:28 pm107MichelleB

Absolutely the My Paris Traveler’s Bag. Anything that promises a revolutionary way to put in zippers is just what I need!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:29 pm108Covered Porches

OK– I must win…. I’m a real figtree fan—I have made her cottage Garden quilt and I’m playing with her Dandelion Girl fabrics right now. I’ve made a quilt with the Yultide Blessing line also … In credibly talented lady….
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:30 pm109Rochelle

Hard to pick just one. I really like the Butterscotch Tart, just beautiful and sounds yummy too.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:31 pm110Erica

I would love to make the Paris Traveler’s bag. Hope I win
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:36 pm111Cory

This is an awesome give-away. I would love to any of the Fig Tree patterns. They are all so great. Thank you to you and Joanna. Take care and God bless, Cory
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:38 pm112Jennifer

I would love to make the big bag pattern. I can never have too many handmade bags.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:42 pm113Joy

I received the my Paris Traveler Bag Pattern for Christmas and I am still anxiously awaiting time to make it! I love its largeness which is great for an overnight trip with the girls. On the Christmas wish list for this year is the Little Picasso!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:50 pm114Ann

I looked at them for the first time and Wow! I love the little girl dresses - I’ve got a granddaughter to sew for and can really see her in them. But really they’re all good designs.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:50 pm115mary

my favorite is the pumpkin pin cushion. I would have a zillion pincushions if I didn’t use a bit of restraint.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:55 pm116Sherri

I’m making Posies A La Mode right now from Joanna’s latest Fresh Vintage…I’m loving it…just like I do all of her patterns and fabrics!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 5:56 pm117Andrea

Oh wow, I know saying that I like all of them is a bit boring, but if I could only pick one…only one at the moment, it would probably be the slippers pattern! My toes are cold right now and I would love to learn to make slippers.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 6:00 pm118Mindy

Wow!

The Easiest Accessory Bags Ever looks like fun, I’m thinking that is the way to go.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 6:01 pm119Alana

I went and did a little “browsing” after reading your post, and found many Fig Tree designs I would love to try. French Quarter and Fresh Laundry especially caught my eye. One of those would probably be first!!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 6:06 pm120Jan Richards

Hard to choose just one. I just received her newest book and am
in love with her designs. I want to make the Little Picasso for my youngest grandgirls for preschool….also thought I could make extras for them to give as birthday presents to help out my busy
daughters! Thanks for a chance to win one of her patterns.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 6:11 pm121joyce

I haven’t tried her patterns but Id love to make her bags, being a bag addict myself.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 6:13 pm122Helise

on 22 Sep 2009 at 7:03 pm132aSprinkling

The patterns that jumped out to me were the Creme Fraiche and the Paris Traveler’s Bag. I haven’t used any of these patterns before, however.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 7:09 pm133Amy Ozuna

I like the purselets pattern and the Paris travelers bag.

Thanks for all the info you share in this space.

I have been drooling over the butterscotch tart quilt pattern….but really, going through their stuff is like feasting on eye candy, it is all so gorgeous!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 7:39 pm141Jenny Garland

The fresh vintage quilt is to die for! Wow, what a great giveaway

on 22 Sep 2009 at 8:09 pm145Sheri

I love fig tree! I made a quilt from her Blossom pattern and it was so fun and simple! I’d love to try something a little more intricate, or make a bag of some sort. Fun giveaway!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 8:11 pm146Carol

I love the dress form applique. And the huge traveler bag.

Thanks for sharing.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 8:22 pm147Lauren

The Paris Traveler’s Bag looks great for carting all of my daughter’s stuff around in - kind of like an oversize diaper bag.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 8:28 pm148Cindy

I love all their patterns. I’m intrigued by the scarf pattern and the accessory bag and the tote bags, and the …etc. etc. etc.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 8:47 pm149Jan

What a nice thing? I’d love to make something from “Fresh Vintage Sewing.”
on 22 Sep 2009 at 9:02 pm150diana

little Picasso smock for kids or the easy easy bag for me
on 22 Sep 2009 at 9:27 pm151Shirley LeDoux

The easiest handbags ever pattern is my absolute favorite. I’ve made scarflettes and have used her fabric for a quilt and diaper bag. I love the feel of her fabric and I have to say that all of her patterns are easy to follow. The patterns were made for quilters not seamstresses so they are very straightforward and easy, not to mention stylish.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 10:01 pm152bruinbr

Holy moly! That’s some serious giveaway goodness! It’s so hard to choose my favorite Fig Tree pattern, but I have to say Jelly Girl is something I have on my to do list!
on 22 Sep 2009 at 10:04 pm153Erica W.

Oh wow oh wow! I love Fig Tree & Co.! I’m a quilter (well, I’ve made three patchwork quilts so far) and love all of their quilt designs. However, my favorite of their patterns has to be the Posies a la Mode quilt design from vol 13. Oh swoon.
on 22 Sep 2009 at 10:55 pm154Anna

What a generous give away!

I’d love to one day make the Bon Apetite-bowls or the Easiest Accessory Bag Ever. But I also like many of the quilts!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 12:01 am155Quinta da Quilter

Spoiled for choice! But I love the vintage post cards and have wanted to make one forever - LQS does not stock them sadly. Of course I also adore the new little pumpkin pin cusion!

Great give away!!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 12:14 am156Veronica

I like all of the Fresh Vintage patterns, they are so gorgeus! Would love to make one of those scarfs too.
Veronica
on 23 Sep 2009 at 1:20 am157Emma

I have never made one of her projects before, but have long since been a fan - would love the opportunity to have a go!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 2:12 am158Tiina

Fig tree is a new quilt shop to me. Her Purselets and My Paris Traveler’s Bag are my favorites.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 4:19 am159Andrea

Fig tree patterns are new to me, but I’m loving that little quilt pattern “Fresh Vintage” in the picture. Que cute!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 4:34 am160Martha

I love the slipper cuties pattern — they are my christmas gifts this year…I also received one of the bag patterns and I am excited about trying it … once the slippers are done!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 4:41 am161Judith

I’m so pleased to discover these patterns through your blog. What a fantastic giveaway.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:01 am162Debbie G

I love the French Kiss pattern with its great diamonds and the Paris bag. I have not made either of these yet. I love the color palette Joanna uses - all that buttercream is delicious!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:08 am163Julia

HI!
What an awesome giveaway! Joanna is one of my most, if not THE most foavourite designer - both, fabric & quilt pattern…! I started collecting her patterns and fabric collections a little while ago…mostly her older patterns…but {shame on me!} I haven’t implement one of them…my favourite is “Prairie Sweets” from an older “Fresh Vintage” issue. I already collect fq’s for that one as I want to include different collections…to give it a more vintage feel…
And then I want to make the “Paris Traveler Bag”…haven’t started on this one yet because I’m still afraid of making 3-dimensional things with zippers {gasp!}!
Recently I’ve fallen in love with the quilt from the current issue when I saw the beginnings of my blog-friend’s own quilt…
Thanks for sharing (both, Joanna & you…it must be hard to part with those gorgeous patterns ;o) )
Julia
on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:12 am164Ginny Ritenour

Oooh, I love those little Bon Appetit bowls! I think they’d make awesome little holiday gifts with a small bag of goodies inside. Another thing to add to my to-do list
on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:21 am165stacey

I am in love with the Madeline Wall Hanging Quilt. I have made 3 quilts with her Patisserie line & the new Mill House Inn fabric. I would love to try one of her patterns.

on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:51 am170Kristi

I’ve never made anything from Fig Tree, but I’ve really been wanting to. I would LOVE to make one of their quilts!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 6:14 am171Marcia

I love the fabric baskets!!!!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 6:24 am172Celestial

How wonderful and generous! I love the Scarflet, Purseletts and traveler’s bag patterns. I’ve been wanting to get back into sewing for a while now and these are excellent inspiration.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 6:33 am173Mary Anne

Wow, there is sooo much to choose from….. I think I would have to go with the My Paris Traveler’s Bag so that I can imagine that I am going to Paris….plus it looks like a HUGE bag with plenty of room to shove my kids toys in when we travel in the car.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 6:55 am174Ellen Ban

I ‘ve got the Purselette pattern waiting to be made for Xmas presents this year.

I absolutely love all of the Fig Tree fabrics and patterns–I’m not sure I could pick a single favorite! I have the latest Fresh Vintage and am excited to try out the cover quilt–I have also had my eye on the Papillon and the Paris Traveler’s Bag patterns for awhile
on 23 Sep 2009 at 7:26 am178Stacy

I really enjoy making the posies. It is the only pattern I have of hers right now. They are great for embellishing practically everything. I do love her patterns. Please pick me!!! Thanks for the chance.

on 23 Sep 2009 at 8:29 am188Penny

I just purchased the pattern for Cell Phone Cuties and can’t wait to get started on it. What a wonderful giveaway!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 8:36 am189Brandy

I am just starting to get my feet wet in the sewing world. While I would love to be able to tackle the Fresh Vintage, I think the Purseletts are a little more my speed. I love all these designs… simplistic and fascinating.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 8:40 am190Lisa

That is incredibly kind. I have been so interested in these patterns too. Thank you.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 8:49 am191jaybird

on 23 Sep 2009 at 9:05 am195Carmen

on 23 Sep 2009 at 9:29 am201melissa

I love the “My Paris Travel Bag”. My bag has seen better days and the zipper is broken. Hard to look sophisticated with a stained bag and a safety pin for a zipper pull!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 9:30 am202kelley

i haven’t had the opportunity to try these patterns yet, but i love the easiest accessory bag ever pattern and the french kiss quilt pattern as well!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 9:37 am203Vicki S

The Fresh Vintage booklet has a quilt on the cover that I would love to make! I have some pretty charm packs just waiting to be made into a quilt and that pattern would be perfect for using them in it!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:09 am204Amanda

I have to say I like all these patterns and the fabrics too! I’d be most interested in trying the Paris Traveler’s bag or one of the apron patterns. So cute!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:13 am205Kathleen

I love the Easiest Accessory Bags Ever patterns but still haven’t tried them. The purselets look mighty cute, too.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:13 am206Shelley Bills

What beautiful fabric & patterns…ewwww I just can’t choose. It would have to be the Paris Travel Bag or the Easiest Accessory Bags. This is a great giveaway, pass on thanks for me.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:15 am207Renee

I’m in <3 with the Paris Traveler’s bag and would love to have that pattern (or any of them, for that matter). I do have one Fresh Vintage (Vol 10) issue in which I’m drooling over the Fig & Plum basket http://aquiltinglife.blogspot.com/2009/06/fig-plum-basket.html I intend to make this in baby fabrics for my new little one due in December. A perfect caddy for diapers, ointments, etc. Then maybe one in Christmas fabrics. The list goes on….
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:22 am208Anita

So many lovely patterns. I love the patterns for jelly rolls particularly the Rosettes pattern. So pretty.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:26 am209Sarah Vee

I have the Coney Island pattern that I want to make. It’s the old fashioned nosegay, or icecream, or whatever you would like it to be!! With now Y seams. I also have a charm pack of Fig and Plum waiting for me to decide what to make with it! What a great giveaway. Good luck to everyone:)
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:31 am210Angela

on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:38 am211Melissa P.

i love the sweet slippers and the paris travelers bag. truly, all of the patterns have such great style!! i’d love to try one!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:39 am212Leslie Barton

There are so many cute patterns! I am new to sewing, so I think I would like to try something that doesn’t look overly hard to do, so I am gonna go with the Paris Traveler’s Bag. It looks perfect for overnight trips!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 10:42 am213Kristi

Well I would love to get the “Purselette” or “Summertime Stars” pattern. Those are my favorites, although I must say there are tons of great patterns! *Fingers are crossed!!*
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:01 am214Gumbo Lily

Oh! I like the purslette and the Paris travel bag is cool too. I love her blog. Thanks for sharing.

Jody
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:07 am215Heather

What generosity! Thank you both! I really like the accessory bag and especially with the fabrics you used to make yours. They make laundry fun - who would have thought!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:10 am216Melissa

There are so many wonderful patterns to choose from, it’s hard to pick just one! I would LOVE to make the Summertime Stars quilt for my parents 50th anniversary! For a non-quilt project, I would definitely make the My Paris Travelers’ Bag! Thanks for the fabulous and VERY generous giveaway!!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:36 am217Holly M.

I would love to make a big laundry bag, for myself! I sew all the time for my daughters and others but have noticed the hole in our laundry bag getting bigger and bigger. I just sigh to myself and think of that saying, “the children of the cobbler have no shoes…”
Thanks for doing the give away!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:39 am218Meghan B.

Decisions, decisions—–My Paris Travelers Bag and the Little Picasso smock. Fun, fun!!!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:46 am219Nova

I like the Summertime Stars quilt!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:53 am220Amy

I’m intriuged by the laundry bag. We’re trying to figure out a better way to do our laundry collections and between a large bag and a frame I’m making with my father in law, it would be the perfect solution!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 11:59 am221Liv

I dream of sewing a basket of Slipper Cuties in all sizes for the front door so that we could finally encourage a shoe free house!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 12:07 pm222LittleWit

I think my favorite would be the easiest tote bags ever collection. I really should make up some nice bags for when I do short travel.
on 23 Sep 2009 at 12:21 pm223Terri G

Oh Kathy! How fun!
Hmm, I love her fabrics and have followed her blog for a couple of years. I have made quite a few of her patterns, but the pattern I have made the most (not sure I saw anyone else mention it) is her cell phone cuties. I make lots of purses and totes and make matching accessories for them and this is my favorite cell phone caddy so far. I made them for gifts last Christmas, and I have even taught it in one of my classes! A big hit with everyone!
Cheers,
Terri
PS… I can’t believe you hadn’t seen the Fresh Vintage magazine before! you are going to love them!!! I think I have every issue!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 12:26 pm224Morgan M.

on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:25 pm241jen

on 23 Sep 2009 at 5:41 pm242jill

on 23 Sep 2009 at 6:26 pm245Cheryl

I have so many of Joanna’s patterns and her latest book. She is so talented. I am also addicted to her fabrics…those colors! I love the Paris Overnight Bag. I own this pattern but haven’t made it as of yet. One thing I don’t have is the Fresh Vintage Booklet. That would be my pick! Thanks for the generous giveaway ; )
on 23 Sep 2009 at 6:26 pm246Billie K

I love all the patterns. The traveler bag looks really interesting.

Well, what a wonderful idea! Thank you so much for this giveaway. I would love to make the Paris bag for my daughter. I know she urgently wants to have one so this would be my chance! Have a nice day!
on 23 Sep 2009 at 7:10 pm248Jess

I think I would like to try the French Kiss Quilt Pattern or Madeline Pattern. She has so many beautiful patterns and this is the first time I’ve seen her patterns, though I’ve seen her lovely fabric a lot!

There are several projects I’d love to do including: Sugar Pumpkin and Checkerboard Stars.

Wow! What a giveaway! I love her dress form pattern (the logo for her club) and the Patisserie series of quilts.

I really love her quilt patterns, especially the Rosette and Petit Fleurs patterns. I’m soooo crossing my fingers on this giveaway!

So much loveliness to choose from! Those sweet slippers really call my name…as does the travelers bag…and the quilts…!!

I haven’t made any Fig Tree designs…yet. I love the sun hat on the blog at the moment. Gorgeous. And there is nothing better for the hot Aussie sun then a big, floppy hat!
Great giveaway.

Thankyou! And good luck to all!

Woohoo!! A chance to get a Fig Tree Quilt pattern! I would most like to try the slipper cuties or the traveler’s bag. Great giveaway for great patterns.

Three cheers for Fig Tree Quilts!!!

I would love to try the Jelly Girl quilt. What a great excuse to by a Mill House Inn jelly roll.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 5:03 am261Kristin

My three year old has informed me that my favorite pattern are the sun hats, and she wants to know where hers is, LOL! Looks like mama needs to do some sewing.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 5:12 am262patty

What a wonderful giveaway! For starters I love the checkerboard stars quilt, the purseletts, and the Paris traveler bag. Beautiful patterns with lots of inspiration.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 5:40 am263Tanya Neary

Beautiful patterns but I think the Little Picasso is adorable and would be a perfect project to make for my daughter.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 5:55 am264Cindy

What a fabulous giveaway! I love the Sugar Pumpkin design
on 24 Sep 2009 at 6:31 am265water works

I really like the milk and cookies dress pattern. If one jelly roll pack will make about four dresses, I know what I’d be giving my nieces and daughter for Christmas!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 8:43 am266Ashley Ann

I’ve never tried one, but the Paris Travel Bag looks awesome!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 8:52 am267Jill G

Just checked out her website, lots of cute patterns there! My favorites are the slippers, the Little Picasso apron and the Milk & Cookies dress. All with my 3 year old girly girl in mind. Thanks for the great giveaway Kathy & Joanna!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 9:00 am268Jill H.

Inspired from your blog I made the gym bags for my girls to use as sleepover bags- They turned out soooo cute! I would love the slippers or the milk and cookies dress. It is awesome that fig tree is doing this give-a-way with you. There patterns are the best! Ty:)

the idea of mini books is great. always times when you are waiting in the car and can study a little “fit in your purse” sized inspiration book.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 10:15 am270Lynette

Thanks Kathy for generously sharing these beautiful patterns. I’m smitten with the following: French Kiss, Bon Voyage and My Paris Traveler’s Bag.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 11:49 am271Kim Reid

I would love to make one of the bag patterns! Thanks for a great giveaway!

I would love to make the accessory bag and they would make a great holiday gift. Thank you for the giveaway!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 1:24 pm273Patty

Kathy, I don’t have a favorite Fig Tree pattern, but could use one. Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
And (no brown nosing, just stating the facts) thank you for your blog. It’s inspiring and I learn something new almost ever post. If I was brown nosing I would have said every post! Thanks too for introducing me to Seth Godin’s blog and now Fig Tree’s blog.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 2:12 pm274Trish

I love the slipper pattern!!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 2:46 pm275Jenny

I absolutly love the Caramels & Cream quilt pattern. Love it!!!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 3:14 pm276jam

I love all the Fig Tree patterns b/c they are so clean and crisp looking. Right now I’m in the mood for Zacky’s Quilt and Peppermint Swirls. I love give-a-ways, too.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 3:23 pm277Ullis

I like all of the bags in Easiest handbag ever. I don’t know wich of them I like the most, som maybe I’ll make all four of them.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 4:20 pm278Diane

Yes, Joanna is a great designer and I’ve heard a lovely person. Her fabrics are amazing. Thank you for the chance to win some Fig Tree goodness.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 4:35 pm279Nancy Henke

Hello!
What a wonderful (and generous!) giveaway!
I have used Joanna’s fabric for many projects and I love it. I have been planning to purchase the “Madeline” pattern because she will look perfect hanging above the daybed in my sewing room. Last Christmas I received a gift certificate (from my college student son) for my favorite quilt shop. With it, I purchased a copy of “Fresh Vintage Sewing” and I have plans for several projects. Finally, I wish I had a “My Paris Traveler” bag to take with me tomorrow on a trip to Chicago.
That’s it for now —Nancy
P.S. I have been reading your blog for a long time and this is the first time I have commented — thank you for many, many inspiring posts!
on 24 Sep 2009 at 4:44 pm280Anna Clare

I love decorating for the holidays and I think the sugar pumpkin is adorable! Perfect for the fall season.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 5:17 pm281Piroska Blanchette

I’ve never done one of her patterns–but her Jelly Basket quilt is gorgeous! I’ve love to eventually be able to do that…

Thanks to you both for such a generous give-away. My favorite patterns are “My Paris Travel Bag” or ” Madeline”, both are wonderful. I’m crossing my fingers and toes.

I haven’t tried a pattern from Fig Tree before, but would love to get my hands on the Paris Travel bag, it is fabulous.

Yes, this is a great giveaway. Let’s see… the Paris travelers bag or purselet or a quilting pattern.. they all look good.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 11:12 pm287Renee G

I would love to make up one of the Fresh Vintage patterns.
on 24 Sep 2009 at 11:45 pm288ms. figino

My absolute favorite is the easiest accessory bags ever, because I love easy and quick project and am a big fan of fabric laundry bags as they really don’t smell in your luggage when travelling!

Have a great weekend and thanks for the give-away!!
on 25 Sep 2009 at 2:47 am289Frou

Hi, have been a big fan of Fig Tree fabrics for awhile, but have never used a pattern. I really like the new Cream Fraiche pattern and am also intrigued by Prairie Sweets, having seen some finished quilts while blog hopping!

I haven’t had the opportunity to use one of these patterns yet. They all look so beautiful! I really like the new Cream Fraiche pattern and am also intrigued by Prairie Sweets, having seen some finished quilts while blog hopping!
on 25 Sep 2009 at 4:41 am291Christine

whoa! this is good…..since you pointed the site out, I looked all over and never have been there, but for looking at the bag pattern you made, which I did, too.

But Cell Phone Cuties looks like fun and since the making holiday season is here, this looks like a good gift and one to use up my fabric.

Thank you!
on 25 Sep 2009 at 6:00 am292Felicia

Oh no! Not a new website to get hooked on! I would love to try the fabric bowls! I can picture them for every holiday!!! And in every room!

Ive never one a giveaway! So.. hopefully this one will change that!
on 25 Sep 2009 at 7:13 am293elizabeth c.

wow what fun…i have never seen these patterns before…so many wonderful ones to choose from…Little Picasso intrigues me, but there are also so many lovely quilts….like…twilight bloom, and snowflake rose and the quilt on the cover of the fresh vintage…and who wouldnt love a no fail zipper? im so glad to have been introduced to this designer!
on 25 Sep 2009 at 7:23 am294Amy J

I really like the rosettes quilt, that is beautiful!
on 25 Sep 2009 at 7:54 am295EdaMommy

Wow - what lovely stuff - thanks for sharing Ms. Joanna’s gorgeous creative efforts! I love her bags, but I think I especially love the juicy simplicity of her “Plain & Simple” pattern book - they’re fabulous! Those quilts are going on my “eventual-to-do” list!
