That’s right, the secret phrase from our Pattern Parade Blog Tour is…

“I LOVE TO SEW”

Did you get it right? Congratulations to our randomly-selected winner Meredith K. from Alaska, and thank you to all of you who participated! Be sure to sign-up for our eNewsletter as we’ll be sending you a special thank you in your inbox later this week – trust me, you are NOT going to want to miss this special sale!!

We had so much fun — didn’t you? From Nancy Zieman’s blog at the beginning of June, all the way through to Skip to My Lou in July, we were thrilled to work with such talented ladies!

It was also fun to see some of our newest patterns made up with designer fabric and personal flair from many of our bloggers. But, did you know that in the meantime, we’ve released 14 more new patterns? (We love to keep rolling out surprises!) You can go to our New Arrivals page to see all 24 of our Spring 2012 patterns, which range from purses and aprons to holiday accessories and children’s toys…and more!

We also loved hearing from you over the course of the tour. Judging by the response, we will no doubt have more giveaway fun for you in the future! Here’s what we heard from you:

“What a great tour and contest! I’ve loved looking at the sites and getting to know some really creative ladies. Love your fabulous patterns too!” -Cheryl

“I enjoyed all of the blog stops – but Mama Said Sew’s tutorial for the bucket bag had to be my favorite. I need a good bag for an upcoming conference and this looks perfect.” -Vannessa

“I love contests from you and this is something way different!!” -Sue

“I loved all the blogs and started following  ‘Skip to my Lou’. I plan to go back and visit all the blogs again!” -Barb

“I would love to sew all the patterns that were featured. Fun Blog! Do it again soon!” -Jean
