  37. Bonnie says:

    I have gotten all the letters so far but not
    Tula Pink’s. Can’t find it anywhere on her
    site. Love looking at all the designs!!

  38. ShariW says:

    Good to know I’m not the only one having trouble on Tula Pinks site. Can’t find her review (thinking it must be for that cute apron) or the letter. Can’t comment either.
    HELP!

    • Indygo Junction says:

      Hi Shari and Shellie – We apologize for the lack of letter! There was a little mix up, but it should be up shortly. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed anything — we still have several more blog stops, anyway! The grand prize giveaway will begin July 5 on our site, so you don’t need the secret phrase until then. We will post on Facebook once Tula’s letter is up. Thanks for your vigilance! This blog tour stuff is pretty fun, huh? :)

  39. I am truly enjoying 2012 Pattern Parade BLOG Tour, Amy! It is SEW MUCH FUN and inspiring getting acquainted with designers new to me. I am having trouble using Tula Pink’s SITE–don’t think my “Comment’ posted, and I haven’t found the secret letter. I hope I’m not too late!

  40. Jennyroo says:

    Looks great! Should be fun, let’s get this party started!

  41. ShariW says:

    I’ve been having a great time checking out the different blogs and I know that not all are on ‘my’ schedule but I’ve been trying to see Tula Pinks review and secret letter on her blog and regular site and I finally got the Pattern Parade ad on her blog but no review and no letter. I’ve been checking every few hours since about 7AM and it’s almost 8Pm now. Any idea when her pattern review and secret letter might be up on her blog? Help please.

  42. Courtnie says:

    I would love to win the fabric or the pattern. A girl can always use a new purse.

  43. Nancy G. says:

    This will be a very fun blog tour

    Thanks

  44. Krista says:

    The phrase is…I GUESSED THE CORRECT PHRASE BUT IT’S BEING COVERED UP SO YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND OUT THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR YOURSELVES BY VISITING THE ENTIRE TOUR AND COLLECTING THE LETTERS.

  45. Sandra Hedrick says:

    Wow! Did someone say fabric giveaway? Count me in!!!!! I’m a fabricholic. Same goes for purse patterns. It would be great to win!

  88. Thanks, Amy! Perfect timing for Pattern Parade Blog Tour. I’ve been away, having gone back home to care for my parents because of mom’s surgery. While it was enjoyable to open and serve her canned vegetables from last summer while there, I’ve missed my sewing machine. I was daydreaming of summer projects. When I got home and found your Pattern Parade, it was like you just knew I needed to create. You always inspire me, Amy!
