in LOVE with amy butler + giveaway
Amy’s new collection – LOVE – is a heady mix of a pretty florals and ethnic architectural designs – inspired by her recent adventures in Indonesia and England. The colours are rich, hot and tropical – with more dark colours – blacks and navys than we have seen with Amy’s collections before.
I have recently discovered and fallen for the simple creaminess of her solids collection which perfectly offsets her earlier suites of fabrics. I hope there is a solid range coming out to accompany LOVE.

I have just started to sew again after a 30 year break. Amy Butler’s Frenchy handbag was actually my second project (working on project three now). I used Amy’s home decorating fabric: August Fields–Slate/Knot Garden for the lining; Spruce/Coreopsis for the outside main panels and handles; Grey/Modern Love for the top panels. I am extremely pleased with the results (and I had never sewn a purse before)! The purse looks darling, and I am giving it to my son’s girlfriend for her birthday at the end of this month.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:46 am
What HAVEN’T I made?! Zipper pouches, skirts, a dress, appliques, a passport holder, pillows, her Brick Path Quilt…. I could go on!

I do love the wonderful graphic nature of her work though.

Amy Butler fabrics really are gorgeous. I’ve asked my local craft shop to stock them, and I live in hope!! Last Christmas I made a load of peg doll kits using Amy Butler fabric to sell at my daughter’s school fayre – they all sold out making around £80 for the school. I want to get some more of her fabric this year to make covered notebooks. I’d love to make one of her bags though! Here;s hoping with fingers extra crossed ;)
November 16th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I have not had the pleasure of using her fabric, but have been eyeing it up for several months online. Sigh!

November 16th, 2009 at 1:49 pm

The best thing I have made with Amy Butler fabric? For my sister’s birthday, I gave her a basket brimming with fat quarters of every Amy Butler pattern and weight available in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I went to five stores, and it was worth it: You should have heard her squeal!

November 16th, 2009 at 5:11 pm

November 16th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I’ve made three Amy Butler bags: the Swing bag, the Drawstring purse, and the backpack (can’t remember the name) when Amy was still publishing under the Country Living name. Gorgeous fabric in the LOVE line.

November 16th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I haven’t done any big sewing projects lately, but I have fabric and the pattern to make the Barcelona skirt.
November 16th, 2009 at 11:11 pm

November 16th, 2009 at 11:26 pm

November 16th, 2009 at 11:39 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 1:14 am
Adore her stuff! I own quite a bit of her fabric, but have only made a plastic bag holder and a stuffed baby ball with it thus far. Considering those are the two of the three sewing projects I’ve made, her fabric has dominated my work!
November 17th, 2009 at 1:22 am
I have made bags, bathrobes, and accessories using Amy Butler’s awesome fabrics.
November 17th, 2009 at 2:05 am

November 17th, 2009 at 6:14 am
I have not made anything with an amy butler fabric, because I have never heard of her before(just being honest). But I love making things with fabric and would love to own some of her fabrics. they are beautiful.
November 17th, 2009 at 6:27 am
nothing yet
November 17th, 2009 at 6:46 am

Thanks for this opportunity
Anna :-)
November 17th, 2009 at 7:41 am

I’m working on my first quilt entirely from Amy Butler fabrics. It’s turning out gorgeous!
November 17th, 2009 at 7:55 am
i haven’t made anything yet, this is my first introduction, but i LOVE her stuff!!!
November 17th, 2009 at 8:07 am
The fabric gives me an adrenaline rush! I’ve made pillows, a duvet cover, and handbags – all beautiful. I recently made some baby bibs for an ultra modern mom who dislikes traditional prints. Excellent!
November 17th, 2009 at 8:17 am
I haven’t made anything (yet). But I have a long wish list.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:01 am
I love amy’s fabrics! I made two of her bags and the patterns are great and easy to follow. I’ve asked for her In Stitches book for Christmas this year so I’d love a chance to win more of her patterns!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:15 am
It’s easisr to list what I haven’t made with her fabric! Quilts-check. Pillows-check. Bags-check. Clothes-check. I own most of her patterns and just purchased her software. Pattern use: Betty Shopper (four times), Cabo halter (three times), Weekender (twice), Birdie Sling (twice), Stash Bags (twice), Blue Sky Hats (twice), Birdie Sling (twice), Sling Bag. Plan to make a number of the tunics this fall for spring.
I loved the home decor fabic released with Kokka. The pods fabric was my favorite and I could use many more yards of the lime pods!
November 17th, 2009 at 10:20 am
I have yet to make anything with her fabric (although I do have a couple yards sitting in my stash somewhere), but I’ve made several of her Birdie Sling bags.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I love her cheerful fabrics and fun but sensible and piratical patterns. I use sewing as a way to clear my head and cope with grad school. I am very grateful to such inspirational crafters who share their love of sewing on blogs for everyone to enjoy.
November 17th, 2009 at 10:27 am
Super cute diaper covers this past summer. I haven’t tried any of her patterns yet but I sure would like too! ; )
November 17th, 2009 at 10:53 am

November 17th, 2009 at 11:08 am

November 17th, 2009 at 11:39 am
When I was new at sewing (still pretty new!) I went through Amy’s In Stitches book and made several projects. I found the instructions very thorough, detailed and easy to follow. And they all turned out great!
November 17th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
OOOOH MY! would be so fun to win. . . love her and you!
November 17th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I’ve made so many things including:
Four Birdie slings
Many little zippered purses

A wristlet/clutch and a pillowcase with quilted panels – now I’m working on a throw blanket to match.
November 17th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Oohh, how fun! I love Love! I just made two sets of pillowcases out of Love and used some of the scraps in a quilt.
November 17th, 2009 at 4:15 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
I love Amy Butler’s fabrics. I have used them in applique as well as throw pillows. One day I will have the courage to try the weekender bag which I love!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I made a totally awesome quilt out of Amy’s very first line called Gypsy Caravan. I love it and it makes me smile daily!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
LOVE the fabric! I also love that you share free patterns. I plan on using my newest amy fabrics to make the portfolio pattern I found at the site today. I’m off to sew, thanks for the contest!
November 17th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
What haven’t I made! Bags, quilts, headbands….so much more to do!
November 17th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Amy Butler is the reason I have recently returned to sewing/crafting.Her use of fabrics and colour and her gorgeous patterns. I havent made anything from her patterns yet, Im working on a tight budget and still need the patterns, but I have a small Stash of her Fabric and plan to make a handbag very soon (like, next pay cycle). Im also eyeing off the new Tunic pattern. But a handbag first I think.
November 17th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
i made a cutie skirt and am working on a bag! she’s so much fun!!
November 17th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Booo, this is so bad. I’ve never made anything from Amy Butler, because I can’t find her products where I live. So I’ll love to get one of the prizes!
November 17th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Bags! Quilts! Clothes!
November 17th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
I’ve made two bags with Amy fabric, as well as wristlets and log cabin pacthwork cushion covers. Also a knitting needle roll and pencil case. Amy Butler fabric goes pretty quickly, so no matter how small the swatches I’m able to get my hands on, I turn them into something.
November 18th, 2009 at 12:06 am
I just dont think I could love her fabric any more . . . perfect!
November 18th, 2009 at 12:09 am
