My *named* Cutting Line Designs pattern arrived today.I have been anxiously awaiting its arrival. I always anxiously await the arrival of new CLD patterns, now that I am on auto-ship and follow Louise over on Artisan's Square.
But this is different. I got to name the pattern and supply some details for the lovely little story that always accompanies one of Louise's patterns:
Sightseeing in her relaxed tunic, Martha was keen to experience the Shinkansen Bullet Train from Tokyo to Kyoto. Weather permitting, they would have a splendid view of Mt. Fuji en route. After lunch at the Miyako Hotel, Julie knew her tunic and softly draped over-vest were perfect for biking in Kyoto, with visits to the Sanjusangendo Hall and Kiyomizu Buddhist temple.
The back story: over on Artisan's Square, Louise asked if we wanted to help her name future patterns. And, of course, we did! There were lots of cool names so a vote was cast and my name came in second.

Gosh I missed that thread on SG, cut what an inspired name, and so perfect for this pattern! Here's to you having loads of fun making it up :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, what yummy fabric! This will be incredible. I'm telling you, HF's customer service sucks the big you know what. If you run into a dead end with them let me know and I'll intercede. They need some competition SO badly and I'm working on that...lol
ReplyDeleteMartha, That is a cool name and I love the little story. Enjoy the pattern and the luscious fabrics.
