How 'bout $4.98??

Hi everyone!

This week we’re working hard to spruce up our studio and we need your help! Since we newly formatted our patterns, we have some of the older ones that need a happy home, and that’s where you come in! You’ll find amelia, anaclaire, street fair skirts (sizes 2-10 and 10-18), tessa, ilsa, laraine, and little chic sisters all on sale for $4.98 while supplies last! AND, if you purchase 3 patterns you’ll get free shipping off of your entire order (US only)! Just check out as normal, and we’ll promptly refund your shipping costs. Sale starts on May 25th, and ends June 1st.

happy shopping!

Celebrate! {a giveaway too.}

Whew!  Here we are back again after a somewhat whirlwind trip (we'd do it again in a New York minute).  We had the extreme pleasure of joining in the festivities of a beautiful wedding just last weekend, and hope to give you a few shots to look at, after we go through the 700+ pictures that we took.  But, you'll have to be content with off-the-cuff poses most of the time, as we were completely having way too much fun to stop and smile!

So, we think it's high-time to celebrate.  Anything and everything.  Be it a beautiful wedding, good friends, the New Year, or a new piece of fabric.  That's where we come in.  We've already talked about how much we adore Tanya and were itching to get our hands on her book, and right before we hopped in the car to leave on our trip what do you think showed up on our doorstep?  You guessed it.  Not just one, but several copies of her lovely book.  We want to share one with one of you.  Sound good??  Read on, friends! 

It also seemed fitting to throw in an adorable fat quarter stack of Tanya's latest fabric collection, Sugar Hill. (If you want to celebrate something extra hard, Sugar Hill's 25% off starting tomorrow until January 13th!)

Here's what you gotta do to get your name in the hat....

Let's get started!!

Making a list!

1. Use the code MERRY2011 at mariemadelinestudio.com to receive free shipping on orders over $25! (US orders only...Offer ends January 1st, 2012)

2. A slew of new goodies up in the sale room!  Including all of the lovelies we talked about a couple of weeks ago.

3. New fabrics-- with more expected any day!  Including Lark, Sugar Hill, & Sugar Hill flannels!  Has anyone tried the FreeSpirit flannels yet?  It's an absolute must.  These flannels are the yummiest, softest, sweetest, cuddliest, bestest ever.  (See how much we like them??)

4. We have some other neat-o stuff we can't wait to share, but sadly, we're thinking that we will have to hold off until the New Year.  We are firmly agreed on the fact that there just isn't enough time in one day.
