Button Bandits

I just want to remind those of you who may still want to take advantage of the *BOGO* sale at Patchalot Patterns that the sale ends Tuesday, April 30th.

Button Bandits has been a very popular recent design and it is back in stock! This whimsical little quilt combines simple piecing with wool birds and is embellished with buttons. Did you know that crows are attracted to little objects that they can pick up and hide? I know I have told this story before, but years ago my Great-grandfather Chambers had a large crow that adopted him. He would wait for Grandpa to come home from work and then hop off the roof and onto his shoulder and ride into the house with him. He would hide little things behind sofa cushions, etc. They discovered keys and other shiny objects in strange places and finally found that it was all the work of their feathered friend! These Button Bandits are dedicated to Grandpa's crow! 

 

Let's go BOGO!

I must be feeling better because my mind is beginning to think about my Patchalot Patterns business again! My life has been filled with family and surgery, etc. And that is all good. I am happy, but now I feel like I want to get things moving again with Patchalot Patterns! So to kick that off, let's celebrate Spring with a BOGO sale! Recently I saw an ad for a BOGO sale and wondered, "what is a BOGO and why do I need one?" You probably already know the answer to that, and I can't believe I didn't. My husband is a retailer and I hear the lingo all the time. The acronyms are getting out of hand! BOGO simply means 'buy one get one'. Yes, BOGO! Who can't get behind that? Doesn't it make you want to dance! Do the BOGO!

Here are a few of the patterns available

So here's the deal, if you have been tempted to buy patterns online at my website, PatchalotPatterns.com, but have hesitated, now is your chance to buy one and get one free. Two patterns for the price of one! Buy any pattern that you like and then choose from all the patterns, except the ones marked NEW in red, as your free choice. I will email you after your purchase to ask which pattern you want for free. This sale is for retail customers only, of course. And the shipping is free too. Win-win! This sale will go until the end of March. I have never done this before, and who knows when I will do it again? I am unpredictable.

(Thanks for catching my mistake. Yes, the BOGO is until the end of April. I am not as good yet as I thought!)

My website has PayPal on it for easy and safe purchasing, but if for any reason you are uncomfortable with that, please call me with a credit card and you can place your order over the phone. Don't be surprised if you hear my scary voice. 

 We got some good news last week that my son and his wife are expecting another baby! I am so thrilled! That has me thinking "baby quilts" again, and so I have been designing! I can't wait to begin creating! Girl? Boy? I really don't care, I just want to cuddle! And I want to get on this baby project right away! Yes, I am definitely on the mend!
