Amy Butler Pattern Giveaway!
Amy Butler has three great new patterns out and she’s generously contributed two of each for a giveaway here on True Up.
The Sun Surf Halter is a followup to her v-neck Cabo Halter top. It’s a great beginner pattern and has sizing for both women’s and girls’ sizes. Materials list here.
The Domestic Goddess Apron offers three differently styled aprons in three lengths, with handy features like pockets and towel loops. They can each be made in small/medium or large/extra large, so if you avoid “one size fits all” apron patterns, this is a good one to try. Materials list here.
The Birdie Sling is a roomy shoulder bag that is great for beginning sewists (and a nice introduction to pleats). Materials list here.
This giveaway comes at a time when I’m needing some help, so I hope you all don’t mind if I put you to work in order to enter to win! I have been compiling a huge list of fabric- and textile-related links and I know it still has many, many gaps. Please give it a look and leave a comment with a link that I’m missing. I’ll bet you know of at least one shop I’ve overlooked (I have just started putting in brick-and-mortar stores by location), and I’ve barely scratched the surface with Modern Textiles (where I’ll be including people who design and print their own fabric for pillows, tea towels, etc.), Fabric Companies, etc. … as soon as I’m happy with the content I’ll be formatting it all to make it more user-friendly.
So just leave a comment with a link that isn’t already on the list (control + f (PC) or command + f to find on a page) and you’ll be entered to win a pattern. And let me know which Amy Butler pattern you’re most interested in. I’ll draw six winners this Saturday, January 31 around noon and notify the winners shortly after that. Thank you!

I love LA Chakra. Her main site is remnants and she has an extensive ebay store as well! http://www.la-chakra.com
As much as I love internet shopping, nothing beats a brick-and-motar. Here’s one in Southern California: Ginger’s quilt shop: http://www.gingersquiltshoppe.com/about.php
I LOVE all of the Amy Butler patterns but the aprons are my favorite!
I can’t wait to see the complete compiled list for inspiration!

I noticed Michael Miller wasn’t in the list with the other fabric companies.
What an awesome resource this is – wow!!
I frequently use a search engine http://www.quiltshops.com – it’s a compilation of 226 shops which you can search all at once. They also have listings of sales for each shop, mailing lists, etc. I use it frequently when looking for sales/clearance stuff.
I love the apron!
Oh, and I just noticed – you need to add Moda Bake Shop (http://www.modabakeshop.com/) to your fabric company blog list.
And there’s a couple of repeats in the list – easy to spot when they’re alphabetical.
Just a shout out for a felt shop, really nice wool felt among other things: http://www.feltorama.com
I’ll point you toward the link for bricks-and-mortar store (and my wonderful place of employment!) in Western Massachsetts: Valley Fabrics, at http://www.valleyfabrics.com
And, I think the Birdie Sling is great!

Thanks!!!!
I love the halter top pattern (although any of them would be appreciated). I usually get my fabric off etsy either Edensgardenoffabric or fabricpalooza. Not sure if that is what you are looking for or not. Thanks for all your work, especially the sale notices.

Hi!
How about Mary Jo’s … it’s in Gastonia, NC … HUGE … i LOVE going there. They also sell online.
http://www.maryjos.com
i would LOVE to apron or to birdie sling pattern! ;o)
How about http://www.quiltology.com/? I love this place in Chicago…a store and an online shopping site…
I like the birdie sling the best!
How about http://www.millersdrygoods.com/ in the heart of Amish country in Charm,Ohio? It is an awesome store and there is also online shopping.
I like the birdie sling the best!
I did not find this one on your list :
A Little Goodness : http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5104353
I would love the apron pattern!
I’m sewing a retro-look Western quilt for my daughter right now and found lots of fun western/cowboy prints over at One Stop Western Shop.
http://store.onestopwesternshop.com/index.html
My fave Amy Butler pattern is the Cabo Halter. We’re going to Cabo this summer, so it’d be perfect!
I don’t see Amy Butler as a fabric designer on your page!!!!! Also, for internet sellers of fabric: Fabric.com and http://www.denverfabrics.com/. In Richmond, VA, a fabulous brick and mortar shop with a small online shop is http://www.quiltingadventures.com/.
I have the birdie sling pattern, so I’d LOVE either one of the others. Probably the apron, because I need to make myself a new one!
I don’t see Andover Fabrics? http://www.andoverfabrics.com/
Not the best website, but they are home to LizzyDish.
Here are two stores here in Maine that I like, as I see you’re starting some state links.

I love Creations in Kerrville, TX. http://www.creations-online.com/ They also have a blog but the best is to go in the little old rambling house. It is a delight. I like the bag pattern.
In chicago: quiltology: http://www.shopquiltology.com/ and The Needle Shop http://www.theneedleshop.net/ or etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5206901.
It’s a tie between the birdie sling and the Cabo Halter.
