Hi everyone! The scavenger hunt is officially over! Chelsea is picking the winners right now. Back in a minute!
Remember those days when scavenger hunts were all the rage? Oh come on it wasn’t that long ago! Well the idea came to me that it would be fun to have a virtual scavenger hunt. That’s right a virtual scavenger hunt with prizes! So here we go, are you ready?
I’m taking you on a scavenger hunt of Henry Glass fabric designers and it should be fun! The idea started when MY fabric company, yes that would be Henry Glass, started their own blog. That’s right they have their own blog and no one has ever left a comment. EVER! Now think about it…for a fabric company to do a blog takes a lot of time, commitment and a desire to reach out to their customers. So I have to hand it to them for going to extra mile. Don’t you think they deserve some comments?
So here’s what you have to do in my scavenger hunt; visit the Henry Glass blog and leave a comment (the link is in the list below). You can comment on any post you like but you have to comment. Then visit the sites I have listed below, find the answers and bring the answers back to me. Yep that’s it!
And what do you get for all this work? First you get to know some really good Henry Glass designers. Second you get to win some fabric and patterns! I have 3 fat packs of my “Flowers for Emma” fabric I’ll be giving away(one each for 3 winners), plus you can choose a free pattern from my web site. That’s right a free pattern, even a block of the month! But first a little work…
- Henry Glass Fabrics new blog: http://henryglassfabrics.blogspot.com/
- Michelle Benesko is a NEW Henry Glass designer with a beautiful new fabric line. Tell me the name of her debut fabric line. http://cicadadaydream.blogspot.com/
- Heather Mulder Peterson is so well known if you don’t have one of her patterns I’d be very surprised. Tell me the name of her newest fabric line. It’s on her blog at http://ankastreasures.wordpress.com/
- Linda Lum Debono is everywhere! She’s written several books and been in numerous magazines . Tell me the name of her Christmas book…it has stockings on it…you can’t miss it. http://www.lindalumdebono.blogspot.com/
- Little Quilts a name we all love! Did you know their shop has a blog? Look on their post for Monday, July 21st and tell me the name of the designer who visited their shop! http://littlequilts.blogspot.com/
- Buggy Barn I love their designs and their fabric! A little bird told me they have a fabulous new fabric line coming up. Tell me the name of their latest book. It’s on their web site. http://buggybarnquilts.com/
- Kim Diehl and her famous designs. My friend Anne loves her more than me. LOL! What is the one word you will find in the name of all her books? http://www.kimdiehl.com/
That’s it! That’s all you have to do. I know, it’s a bit of work but it should be fun. This is only a few of their designers. You can see lots more, along with FREE PATTERNS on their web site at http://www.henryglassfabrics.com/ And more exciting news is coming soon. Henry Glass has added more well known designers to their list of names. So get ready, I see lots of beautiful fabrics in the very near future!
I’m not telling how I’m choosing the winners so don’t just copy the first comment on my blog. I’ll know if you did. Really. Come on…it’s time we worked for a giveaway. I’ll be choosing the winner on Thursday, August 28th. Ready, set, go!
I tried to leave a comment on Henry Glass, but I don’t have a blog and it would not take anonymous. I hope you will include me! :) I would love to win!

Anne,
The Scavenger Hunt was fun but probably expensive since I found several things that I will be shopping for… Thanks for leading us to the Henry Glass Blogspot!
1. Commented on the Thank You Anne Sutton entry
2. Dogwood
3. Cottage Charm
4. New Noel
5. Pat Sloan
6. Celebrated Craziness
7. Simple (Seasons, Blessings and Traditions)
I thoroughly enjoyed the Henry Glass blog. Thanks for pointing it out for us.
Michelle Engel Bencsko is a name I will remember because of her funky Dogwood fabric line.
Being a pattern junkie I have lots of patterns from Anka’s Treasures and am definitely drawn to the lovely pinks in her new line of fabric Cottage Charm.
Linda Lum Debono’s Christmas book, New Noel looks very interesting.
One of my very first quilting books was by Little Quilts and Pat Sloan was the designer who visited them on July 21st.
Last summer I was lucky enough to visit Buggy Barn’s absolutely wonderful store and took a great class with Kim Diehl as the teacher. The Buggy Barn new book is Celebrated Craziness and Kim uses the word Simple in the title of her books. I am looking forward to her newest book that I believe is due out this fall.
Thanks for this scavenger hunt. Lots of very interesting reading.

I tried to get in on the scavenger hunt, but was unable to leave a comment over at Henry Glass, as i did not want to sign up for a google account. (so sorry) if the comments were set up like yours, then i would have been able to comment. (as you have listed): name/url,
openID, etc.
hmmmmmm maybe could be a reason why they don’t get a lot of comments?
thanks!

Heather Mulder Peterson is so well known if you don’t have one of her patterns I’d be very surprised. Tell me the name of her newest fabric line. It’s on her blog at http://ankastreasures.wordpress.com/Cottage Charm
Linda Lum Debono is everywhere! She’s written several books and been in numerous magazines . Tell me the name of her Christmas book…it has stockings on it…you can’t miss it. http://www.lindalumdebono.blogspot.com/New Noel
Little Quilts a name we all love! Did you know their shop has a blog? Look on their post for Monday, July 21st and tell me the name of the designer who visited their shop! http://littlequilts.blogspot.com/Pat Sloan
Buggy Barn I love their designs and their fabric! A little bird told me they have a fabulous new fabric line coming up. Tell me the name of their latest book. It’s on their web site. http://buggybarnquilts.com/Celebrated Craziness
Kim Diehl and her famous designs. My friend Anne loves her more than me. LOL! What is the one word you will find in the name of all her books? http://www.kimdiehl.com/Simple
I hope I am making my comment in time for your drawing. Even if I don’t, I had a lot of fun visiting the blogs and websites of these designers. Thanks for doing this. I found it very inspiring for my own blog and for wanting to sew even more that I already do! Here are the answers: Michelle – debut fabric is dogwood; Heather’s newest line is Cottage Charm; Linda’s Christmas book is New Noel; Little Quilts was visited by Pat Sloan (and by the way Little Quilts was one of my first projects many years ago); Buggy Barn’s latest book is Celebrated Craziness; and Kim Diehl’s book series is all about “simple.” I did make a comment on Henry Glass Blog. I will definitely visit all of them again. Last but not least, I came to your blog to ask if you would share the fabrics that you used in your Postcard Cuties for Winter pattern? I love this and can’t wait to get it started. Thanks again! Debbie
Glad I now know about their website…left a comment.

6. Celebrated Craziness
7. Simple (absolutely gorgeous books — have all of them — she is fantastic)
Thanks again, keep up the good work!
Well, it’s August 28th so I better type quickly or I’ll be late! I checked out the fabric at Henry Glass and it is absolutely “angelic”. Love it and hope I can find it a local shop. I loved Scavenger Hunts as a kid so had fun with this one! First answer I found was DOGWOOD, then the fabric line for Heather is Cottage Charm (and how charming it would be for a quilt in a cottage). New Noel is the name of the book for the old and lovely tradition of Christmas. Pat Sloan was out and about at Little Quilts in July and Buggy Barn is celebrating craziness in their book “Celebrated Craziness”. I will be celebrating at a Crazy Quilting picnic tonight so I “get the craziness of quilting”! And the word that is in Kim Diehl’s books is simple to answer because it’s the word “simple”. This was fun but now I better go do the vacuuming that I told my husband I was headed upstairs to do but here I am at the computer instead!
I’m probably too late, I just heard about this today from Aim and wanted to give it a try
Here are my answers:
1 I am comment #61 :)
2 “Dogwood”
3 “Cottage Charm”
4 “New Noel”
5 Pat Sloan
6 “Celebrated Craziness”
7 “Simple”
