I was walking down an isle at Quilt Market and my eyes landed on these Quilts. The energy of these Quilts just drew me in. I loved the colors, patterns and overall movement. Have you ever just had something "grab" you and you just wanted to move towards it? (I'm not talking about ice cream or chocolate here...I'm one level up in the arts...lol)
Can you feel the energy? I re-experience it by just looking at the photos.
I really enjoyed getting to meet Pam and seeing all of the Aardvark Quilt Patterns. As I went to purchase some patterns Pam offered to give me two patterns to give away on my blog. Woooo Hoooo!!! IHAN blogifers love Giveaways, don't you?
Both patterns have been autographed too!!!
If you would like to have the opportunity to own one of these two patterns, I'd like you to leave a comment on this post telling us why you want to win one of the Aardvark Quilt Patterns. I will do a random drawing on 6/6/10 and announce the winners.
Colorful and Energetic Smiles,
Kelly
I, too, am drawn to color saturation. I'd like a pattern because....well...just because!
ReplyDeleteI loved the strippy table runner... too cool. And yes, dupioni silks would be gaw-juss!

I love their patterns, they are so unique and eclectic... they make the kind of quilts you want your family to keep forever. I'd love to win!
ReplyDeleteTHE COLORS!!! No wonder you were drawn to the quilts!! I would love to call one of these patterns my own!! Thanks to Aardvark for the fun patterns!!
ReplyDeleteWow, those quilts are fantastic, love the bright bold cheerful colors. I would love to have a pattern, oh wait I need a pattern to use up some stash.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely display! They make such gorgeous quilt patterns. Simple shapes that can really come alive with colour! Thank you for giving us the opurtunity to win one, Sharonj.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of dupioni silks.....maybe I should look into it....great pattens......
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about the energy...the color along with the stunning designs just pop! I love the Antique Rug pattern. It looks like just the kind of quilt I could use lots of different fabric choices with. Lynne
ReplyDeleteI checked out the website and Aardvark Quilt designer Pam Goecke Dinndorf certainly has a talent for pattern making. Usually patterns are either colorful and interesting or the design is intricate. These patterns, however, combine both elements. There are Mod Square and Beveled Blocks patterns that look like they're 3-D! Amazing!! (And not too intricate that the patterns seems daunting.) thanks for pointing out this fabulous company, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are vivid and I like vivid quilts. Is that enough of an excuse?
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a color trip!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the patterns offered would be a wonderful way to work up leftovers and make a scrappy quilt.
The Paperweight pattern looks intriguing...perhaps it includes a fun new way of sewing "curves" without work?!? I'd love to win that, and promise to email you a photo of my completed quilt using that pattern! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's obvious I'd love to make an Aardvark quilt or two. *S*
ReplyDeleteEspecially that one on the settee in the 3rd pic down.
I absolutely LOVE the herringbone tablerunner! I have just the fabric for it!
ReplyDeleteI would like to win an Aardvark quilt pattern because the quilts are so alive with color and design.

Love the quilts because I love the colors. I'd love a pattern because I like to try new things!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win one of these patterns because those quilts are FABULOUS. I love the bright colors and the patterns in them. I can't wait to make one!
ReplyDeleteI love those quilts in those colors. What a great combo. I would love make one for myself.
ReplyDeleteThe patterns are fantastic! I would love to win one. Thank you for introducing me to Aardvark Quilts.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThose Aardvark Quilts are stunning! I would love to win one of the patterns -- both are great, but I have to tell you that I really, really, really like the first one -- it reminds me of the blown-glass baubles we see at Sauder's when we go there with the grandchildren.
See you next Thursday!

ReplyDeleteLike you Kelly, I have no fear of color. The patterns and colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI met Pam in Minnesota at Gruber's about 5 summers ago. She was working there and had started her own line of patterns. Looks like there are some new ones that I don't already have (hint hint),

ReplyDeleteAfter viewing the aardvark quilts web site, I read the emphasis was on simple quilts and color.
ReplyDeleteI would like an opportunity to play with the one pattern that is SIMPLE. :-)

ReplyDeleteBeing a 'collector' of Kaffe Fassett fabrics, these patterns look to be the perfect avenue to finally use them!

Don't know whether I am too late. I haven't been reading or blogging recently. Colours in the quilts and designs are beautiful. Please add my name, if possible. You seem to have had a wonderful time.
