I'm thrilled to have my first design published on Moda Bake Shop today!
To celebrate, I'll be doing my first giveaway as well. Leave a comment on my blog and I'll be picking a winner (via a cool random picker thingy from the web) on Wednesday, August 4. The winner will receive a Jelly Roll of Clermont Farms.
It was great to work with Minick & Simpson's Clermont Farms collection. I've worked in the textile industry for my entire career (many many sigh many years). I have to tell you that this collection is both well designed and beautifully colored. Working with the fabric was a pure delight. I highly recommend checking out the variety of collections on Minick & Simpson's website.
I am always looking for new tote bags - thanks for the extremely well-written tut today and congrats on the MBS appearance. Awesome bag
ReplyDeleteI love the way this bag looks so sturdy and stands up by itself - not one of those slouchy bags. Great job Glenn. Congratulations on your first Bakeshop recipe! - Marlene
ReplyDeleteIt is such a fantastically "finished" tote. It looks like something you would purchase at a store, and I love the two options for doing the corners!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great! I saw this lovely design earlier today, but I didn't see it was yours. Congratulations!
ReplyDelete(if you accept international contestants, than I would like to participate in this lovely giveaway ^_^)
