Another couple of  projects to make with Sunset Beach!
Here's my neighbor Melanie all ready for summer in her halter sundress made from my orange palm print fabric from Henry Glass Fabrics!

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.....

Ask for it at your local quilt shops, and if they don't have it.... 
demand it! :) Ha!
Here's the link to the Henry Glass website. I'll have a list of where you can get it up very soon!


I'm so completely thrilled with this collection! I hope you and your boys will love it too!

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!

-Lucy

Sunset Beach

Alright!
I have been given the go-ahead to promote my next fabric collection! I am soo excited! You have no idea how long this collection has been in the making! It's a tribute to the 70's surf/beach wear inspired by my childhood in San Diego, California.
 Sunset Beach is a hip BOYS Collection! (Yay boys!) I hope you will love! You can bet there will be some great Hot Scott Patterns to go with!

Fabric shops can Pre-order Sunset Beach in October! Just check with your Sales Rep. or you can go through the major distributors.  As for you sewers out there... make sure you ask your local Quilt/Fabric Shops to carry.......

Ok so no big surprise, I'm a product of the 80's
I was in middle school in 1985 and being into clothes and fashion, I wore all the trendy styles of course...  however I was always into taking something store bought and making it unique or different from my friends. There just weren't as many cool stores back then as there are today, so if you liked a shirt in Contempo Casual (for example), chances were someone else would be wearing it to school the next day as well!  
Some of the trends of the 80's make me cringe to think about frankly ;) but hey, it is what it is and I must be true to my generation.

 
(Ok- I NEVER wore these let me just clarify) ha!




Madonna and Flash Dance influenced, Neon, cut up T-shirts, jelly shoes and bracelets, Swatch Watches and big lace bows in our hair were just some of the terrifying looks I adorned.  Oh, and don't forget the Neon Blue mascara and matching eyeliner to boot! What a mess! Guh! (My poor Mother!)



Anyhow, fashion always circles back around and recently, I've found myself wearing cut up T's and neon accented parachute pants to workout in :). I catch my husband smiling and rolling his eyes as I walk out the door haha! 



I purchased this book about a year ago, because I was tired of checking it out from the Library. I figure if I check a book out more than 2 times.... it's a keeper! And now there is a second one as well.

But what is even more cool is the blog:

Anyhow there are lots of cool tutorials out there on this very subject, but I thought I'd show you this little Tutorial on how to cut your T-shirts from a girl on Youtube. You all know how much I LOVE youtube right?


Now in case you didn't know... I'm totally into Zumba Fitness (due to my High School years in South America- and my nieces Kass and Emily who are now Zumba instructors)! So here is a tutorial from Zumba so you can have super cute and edgy workout gear!

I hope you have enjoyed my trip back to the 80's- now go shred those T-shirts!
Happy Sewing!

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...

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
from my etsy shop when you check out in the notes section.
go HERE and enjoy this offer through the month of August!
P.S: It's great as a Halloween Bag! So, get sewing!.

SuNSeT BEaCh - with Henry Glass


Boutique Cafe and yours truly!


It's always a little distracting to see yourself being video taped! I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to pick myself apart!
......I shouldn't have worn that, guh! .....My hair! Oh why did I wear my hair like that? Do I really look like that when I talk? ha!
and it goes on and on.... 
And of course it doesn't help to hear your 5 yr. old say... "Is that you Mommy? You look weird."
Nice.

Anyhow, here it is. Despite all my own criticisms, I am truly grateful to my friend, sweet Daria for featuring me on the Boutique Cafe giving me a chance to show you all my new boys collection Sunset Beach! It was going to debut in October at Quilt Market in Houston, but it has been pushed back a bit and will be hitting stores in March 2012.  If you love hip, edgy boy surfer fabric with awesome colors, plaids and geometric prints perfect for your boys room etc.... please make sure you ask your favorite quilt shop for it!

If you run over to Boutique Cafe and leave a comment, Daria will be doing a give away for some of my own personal stash of my 1st fabric collection called Pacific Trade Winds from Studio E.  This fabric is still available for purchase. Check my website for stores that carry it!
Here are some swatches for you to see up close.....

So, Here is a little snipit from the Salt Lake Quilt Market


This is the Slice Fabrique Booth where my design card was featured. And here are some of the other designers who are involved!



this little machine cuts out shapes from the design card you put in it, and you get something like this....

 
my DS card is called Urban Kid and these are the shapes you can cut out with my card...
I'm Sooooo excited about this machine and what it can do! Check back over the week and next week for projects using the Slice Fabrique and Urban Kid!

SLiCE FaBrIQuE!

 Finally! It seems like it was FOREVER ago when I told you about some cool things happening with Making Memories! Finally, I can show you what I have been up to! I'm so excited to be a part of such a great company! The Slice Fabrique cuts awesome shapes out for you to applique on to FABRIC!
This little gadget is a hands free, cordless fabric cutting machine! It comes with some basic shapes and letters for you to use, but I have designed some super cool designs especially for your "URBAN KID". That is the name of my DS card! Here are some examples of the designs my specific URBAN KID card will have....

My URBAN KID card will include this free quilt project as well! I whipped this puppy out in like 2 days! Shipped if off to Slice for photographing..... nearly missed Fed-Ex 6pm cut off! GUH!
Again, my friend Mindy Johnston did the quilting (saved my backside by doing it on super short notice!) Thanks Mindy! 
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! And, my card is not just for boys....  It's for all URBAN KIDS! Girls too! I just LOVE my cute little MUSHROOMS!



 

I made this for my soon to be born Great Niece Alexendria.... yep you heard right! GREAT NIECE! I have several actually..... suddenly, I feel quite old- but I digress.....

Look at all the cute stuff you can do with this thing!!!.....
I'll be posting some more pics of what some of the other designers are doing as well. 
Like my friend, fabulous fabric designer Bari J.
her designs go with her Paris Apartment collection.
