Congrats!!! I'll be sending you an email for your info!

Well Hello!

I'm back from market, working on the final edits for my 2 newest patterns. While you wait, I thought I'd do a give away!

I got a couple of darling patterns in Kansas City, MO that I probably won't even get to use because I don't have girls. So, I'm throwing in a couple of my patterns and making it a 4 pattern pack giveaway. 

Two adorable patterns from two other fa

ntastic designers (Pink Fig & Bananafana).... and two of my own.  

If you are interested in the drawing you need to Like my Hot Scott FB page, then leave me a comment here saying you did. I can't advertise on FB so this is where the contest takes place OFFICIALLY ;) I'll draw a random winner on May 31st!

(U.S.residents only please)

Thanks! and good luck!

Sunset Beach fishies!

I'm putting together the list of stores who carry my 2nd fabric line, while you wait, I thought I'd give you some ideas of what to do with it when you get your's! 

I'll be posting some fun projects (some little, some a bit bigger) made with Sunset Beach over the next couple of weeks. I'm getting ready for market, and will be busy sewing with it, so I might as well show you what I'm up to!

Found this fun Felt Fishie Set tutorial here on Just Another Day in Paradise blog. It sews up super quick, which I LOVE.  

Here's another version....using magnets here

A great birthday party game they could even take home a set of their own as a party favor! 

(depending on how ambitious you are ;) 

enjoy......

..... check back soon! more to come.....

First New Pattern of 2012!

Sorry I've been a bit distracted! I thought I'd give you a little idea of what I have been up to.....

There are lot's of exciting things happening here trying to get ready for market and that takes a great deal of work! 

The International Quilt Market isn't until May (thank goodness), but it takes several months of sleepless nights and lots and lots of   revisions to get a pattern right, never mind 3! 

That's what I'm aiming for at least... 

Here's a little peek of the first that is nearly done....

Now, this isn't the final draft by any means.... some changes have been made since these sketches were done. I LOVE LOVE this pattern! Been wanting to do it for ever! 

Once it's all completed, I'll have a drawing or two to get some of my new stash in your hands! 

Stay tuned!

And thanks for your patience and sticking by Hot Scott Patterns! :)

Vintage Elf

Got around to my Christmas Decorating this weekend. This is one of my favorite decorations from my parents home. 

Vintage Christmas Elf. I love his rabbit fur lined vest and little elf booties! He has porcelain face and hands and painted fingernails!!! 

Now I don't know about you, but that little detail is new to me :) 

(didn't know elf's painted their fingernails red, did you?)

Anyhow, just thought I'd share a little Christmas Cheer...... Do you have a favorite decoration? Or maybe you are making something really great this year for your home?  If so, I wanna see! Send me a little picture on my facebook page and tell me about it! 

Click HERE and upload it on my Hot Scott Patterns wall! 

It's so much fun to see what you all are up to this time of year! 

Have a great Monday!

BLoG HoP- Day 3!

It's My Day!

And I'm totally exhausted from tying up loose ends for this pattern. 

But it was all worth it- I think. I surely hope you like your FREE PDF Pattern, I had so much fun creating it, and I just LOVE how it turned out! But before I get to that, I need to do my shpeal.....:)-is that even a word? ... know what?......at 2am, it is!

(P.S. having a glitch with my PDF Google Host and posting this PDF for you. I'll get it up ASAP!)

For the blog hop this year, we are doing a little Q & A session:
What is your favorite holiday food? Pumpkin Pie Baby! And peppermint Hot Chocolate... yum!

Does your family have a favorite holiday tradition? We love to watch The Charlie Brown's Christmas special all cozy in our PJ's, and decorating the tree while listening to old Christmas music... you know like Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. 
What's your favorite holiday movie? I'm with Jacquelynne Steves (the noble wife) on this one.... ELF! We probably watch it more than once during the month of December! My 5 yr. old has been saying,

"..... Son of a Nutcracker!"

since he could speak basically. Ok, maybe I shouldn't encourage..... but coming out of his little mouth, it makes us all laugh no matter what season it is!
What's your favorite holiday song? Ray Charles- Winter Wonderland
Do you make many holiday presents? Last year I made quilted sun glass cases for all my girlfriends, Mother, Mother In-law. And I love making home made caramel apples all blinged out with edible glitter and yummy toppings! (My friend Kathleen and I do it on the side..... that's where my blog name came from ;) 

Would you prefer a large fully decorated tree or one like Charlie Brown's tree? Can't I have one of each?

Do you like a big family gathering at the holidays or do you prefer a small dinner followed by hot chocolate by the fire? I love being just with my little family for Christmas eve, and Christmas morning, however, I come from a rather LARGE family (youngest of 9) so I really miss caroling with them and the annual Family Christmas Party, and seeing all the new babies and just really miss seeing the faces of the people I love so dearly.  This time of year always seems to amplify that feeling, doesn't it? 

And now,  my secret word for the Henry Glass giant prize pack giveaway  is......  MASHED POTATOES

(FYI: you need to gather all the Secret Words from all the designers and list them on the Henry Glass website)  

Ok, here's my free pattern... This is something you can make for your best girlfriend, Mother,daughter, grand daughter, and while you're at it... one for yourself!

It Looks something like this...

Here are the other Fabulous Henry Glass Designers for you to check out today as well!......

Enjoy!

 And Me!

Actually, that's http://www.thedrizzledapple.blogspot.com/  which is where you are at currently ;) Don't follow the link attached to my picture, there isn't any Jolly Holiday Bloghop info at that link. FYI.

To Market, To Market....

Well, I'm off to Houston this up coming weekend for the International Quilt Market. I won't be exhibiting, but I will be walking the show visiting old friends, and passing out FREE QUILT PATTERNS for my new boy's collection SUNSET BEACH with Henry Glass Fabrics.  So, if you are going to be there, stop me and grab one!



I will also be doing a CONTEST for all of you shop owners, and independent online stores who place an order for SUNSET BEACH, either with Henry Glass, or any major distributor ( Brewer, Checker, E.E. Schenck, Suziq). I'm still working on the prize but I think it will have something to do with sewing up a free sample of any of my patterns (of your choice) for you to display in your store along with your new fabric when it arrives! (because patterns help sell the fabric don't cha-know)! And for you online stores... maybe some free pattern packs, in place of a free sample- since you can't really display a sample online, unless of course that is what you still want;) 

Anyhoo- here's what you need to do:

1. you must post a comment here under this post with your order number from either Henry Glass or your major distributor.

2. and "Like" my Hot Scott Patterns Page on Face Book. That's it! (oh, and a way to contact you).

I will randomly pick a winner when I get back! 

On a side note....go check out the new Henry Glass website!!! It's awesome!

Okay, have a lovely week everybody!

The online network of friends never ceases to amaze me! The power of this little box in my office makes reaching out to others (some literally around the globe) as easy as typing your name on a keyboard- and that is FANTASTIC! Don't you think??? Aren't you just blown away sometimes how your personal computer makes the world so very small? I am! 

Today I got a message from my Etsy store messaging inbox...

giving this link...

http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NjgzMTQ2M3w1OTkyMjI0OTg/hurrah-back-to-school

This Etsy patron posted my Nolan Cap & Snack Sack on their list of Back To School Items page!

It was one of my first patterns I ever created and it is still one of my fav's! Here are some pictures of the photo shoot. 

 

 

I LOVE this pic!

Anyhow, I thought I'd offer a special on this pattern!

Right now, you can purchase this pattern for $7!!! and if you read the top of my Etsy page... if you spend $20 (before shipping) I'll throw in a yd. of free fabric!

yep! FREE! Just let me know what fabric you want choosing

go HERE and enjoy this offer through the month of August!

P.S: It's great as a Halloween Bag! So, get sewing!.

I have a pattern update....

I'm always grateful when someone points out something to me that I have missed in my pattern writing. It only makes the pattern that much better! This correction will be added to all new orders until I go to re-print. In the mean time, I will also post all corrections on my website:

Thanks!

SpRiNG PaTTeRn 2011!

So this is the official pattern cover for The Sweet Betty Jacket & Mini-bag!  

I think this one quite possibly is my favorite with the girls at the train station!!

And little Emery with her toes all tangled in her beads!!! So Darling!

Hot Scott is introducing the Betty Collection! Yep, I'm gonna go girly on ya!

My photographer and friend Jaley Cox of Blink Photography did a great job with so many kiddo's to work with! She also makes all the little flower headbands, and clips! They were soo cute! She has a great eye for color!

Salt Lake Quilt Market is rappidly approaching and I am a bit behind getting stuff photographed due to rainy weather. The girls were so fun and so cute!  

LoOk WhAt I MAdE...

Since my blog pretty much reflects my boy side of Pacific Trade Winds fabric, I decided to show you the more "Girly" side of what I've been up to...

I actually made a quilt!

This is my first full sized quilt I've made EVER! I know... I should be ashamed, but in my defence, I have made several baby quilts!

I think it has always been a matter of time, or lack of it. But, this quilt went together soooo fast! I did the top in one Saturday!

I joined a quilt group (to broaden my skills) and after one meeting.... I was sooo jazzed to make one, I had to do one right then!

So, I chose this pattern from Abbey Lane Quilts, from their Fabulous 5 quilt pattern book - first, because I loved the pattern, and second, because it said it was a quick and easy quilt! Those ladies lived up to their word!

I'm kinda into the more "modern look" as far as quilts go. So that went into consideration when choosing a pattern as well. 

I think it turned out great! And my friend and neighbor happens to have a long arm quilting machine in her basement so naturally I had to employ her! (I'm all about supporting young stay at home mommies!) Mindy Johnston did an amazing job!

This apple didn't fall far from the tree! Her mother owns the American Quilting store in Orem, Utah. 

So if you are in the Denver Colorado area and need a quilt put together... she's your gal!

here's a close up.....

and...

I wanted something to mimic those circles... look how cute!

And here it is with some of the other patterns you can deck out your daughters room with.... because... I don't happen to have a daughter..... *sigh.

(Incidentally, I will have the Surf's Up Rug and Chill Sack that you see here, up for sale in my Etsy store soon, because.... what am I going to do with them..... really? ) So if you want them.... they are one of a kind samples! Or you can make your own! I also have the fabric up for sale there as well!

I'm keeping the quilt though :) Hey, I'm a girl! I can use a girly quilt in a world full of boy stuff!

Look how great it goes with the Surf's Up Rug & Chill Sack bean bag!

So I'm now working on a quilt for my boys.... it has a Skull on it!!! COOL!

I'll show ya when it's finished! :)

PrE-OrDeR the Re-MiX HoODie

You can pre-order this pattern for next week!

Send me an email to place your wholesale order.

I know... I'm a bit behind, (like a month) but this is how things go sometimes *sigh. 

But look how Stinkin-Cute!

It will also have a zip-down option. These sweatshirts are pre-purchased, or maybe you already have one laying around. This pattern will show ya how to turn it into a cool little hoodie!

Wear it with the Nolan Backpack... it's a good little combo!

(this pack is still up for sale on my etsy store-

just in case ya want it ;)

FAbriC & GiVeAwAys!!

I just had to take a moment and show you what came in the mail on Saturday!!!  I've been so busy sewing with it... it took me a few days to get it on here but here it is!!!

Pacific Trade Winds!

 Pink & Brown....

Navy & Red...

(this will make some great Christmas stuff!!)

But, this is my very favorite part......

SELVAGE!

(that's my name!!! :)
