Does it have to be a plain pattern/print or can it be an object that you've made or either? I'm always reading your blog but never comment. I wish Paperchase was slightly cheaper because then I would probably live there.

Just stumbled upon your wonderful blog! Will be checking back often from now on...

Looking forward to your new book too!!

i am mainly looking for patterns and printed designs but if you have made something with your prints or patterns that may be suitable.
things like bags, pillows, mugs, cards are going in so far.
one rule though is there definitley cant be anything 'plain' !

Absolutely the biggest fan of your blog! There is so much you shared from your France trip, that I feel like moving there now from Sydney! Thank you once again..
I will be submitting some designs by the end of this week. Really look forward to your book!

Ugh! thanks for the reminder. I'm trying to get my act together to figure out what to send you!

I am afraid the even one of my files will not go through either to you or to the print and pattern email address. The required files seem to be too huge even for yahoo mail to attach a single one. I would really like to submit work. Please help!

to email files you need to use compression i.e a zip file.

this makes them smaller than the 10mb maximum my account will take.
i then unzip the full size at my end using winzip.

but if you are unfamiliar with this just ping me an email and i will give you the ftp site details.

anyone else wanting the ftp can do the same - but please give your webaddress or blog if you can so i know its genuine.
if you give out ftp details out to just anyone or post them online you get weird people filling it up with movies,virus' etc.
thats why its on application only :)

I became seriously indecisive when I was pulling together patterns to submit so I went ahead & burnt a bunch of new designs onto a CD & sent it over to you the old fashioned way.

Is there any way to confirm that you guys recv'd the pkg (and the disc was OK)? I would hate to miss out on possibly being in the book just because my pkg went a.w.o.l in the mail.

I'm bubbling up with anticipation for book to be released! Congrats again & good luck putting the whole fabulous thing together. I'm sure there's no shortage of amazing patterns being submitted.

hi hangtight,
i'll let you know when i recieve your disc - the publisher is forwarding on mail when they get a whole box together.

I love your blog too! I sent my cd in the post as I couldn't send over yahoo either - too big! Would you be able to let me know if you have received it (sorry I know you must be very busy!) I (like hangtight) am also worried about it being lost in the post! Thanks.

My company name is Rainbow Attic and you can contact me through my etsy site if you like www.rainbowattic.etsy.com Thanks so much!

Thanks so much Bowie Style!

I'm sure you're totally swamped with submissions & I really appreciate the extra attention to let us know our pkg's arrived safe & sound.

You Rock!

Hello,
I was wondering if I could get information to your ftp sight. Our files are too big and we can't email them to you. My email address is artdept@shopsei.com. If you have any questions let me know!
