My new favorite person in the whole wide world?
Amy. Butler.
Or-as she has become known in our household-"AMY STINKIN' BUTLER!!!!" :o)
I emailed Amy during the planning stages of the "Ruffle Your Stuff" contest to see if she wanted to donate an autographed book to the grand prize winner. (Yeah, right. Like Amy Stinkin' Butler cares about my little contest.) And a couple of days later her wonderfully sweet promo specialist emailed me and said that Amy would love to donate a book, and how about some patterns, too? And to let them know if there is anything else they can help with. Ah! Could they be any nicer?? That just totally warms my heart, that big, fantastic people still care about the little, less-fantastic people like myself :o)
So I mean it, whole-heartedly, when I endorse her, and say....go blow your entire life savings on her fabric. :o) Her newest collection, "Love", is, well, just that. I would give up a year of life to get some of that fabric :o)
And in case you're new on the scene? Amy Butler is a designer, most famous for her beautiful fabrics and sewing patterns, but she also has many other wonderful products. Books, bags, bedding, art, stationary, even gift-wrap and table ware!
Please go and check out all of her stuff, and be prepared to fall deeply, deeply in love.
Some of Amy's handiwork:
(DYING OVER THESE!!)
Bedding:
Rugs: (cool!!)
Even towels!
You'll have to go to the website to see the rest!
So thank you, Amy, for your sweetness and generosity! :o)

That is sooo cool Disney!!! Wahhooo!!!!
That was super sweet!
I can't wait to have a chance in this giveaway! Amy Butler has been my favorite for awhile! My husband even graced me with one of her purses! (Which are AMAZING.. forget coach, chanel, and prada.) I'm excited for you to have the chance to "work" with her!:)
Oh, my. I LOVE her designs and fabric.
Are you planning a post on that ruffled shower curtain? I would LOVE to see it. I love anthro style.
Love the purse you made, lovely colors
Love her stuff! I am a beginner and I am desperately trying to find somewhere locally to get my hands on her stuff.
Love your stuff too! Definitely wish you had a boy too so I could see what you come up with for little guys.
Great! I love her Soul collection. The colors are so unique!
Wow Amy Butler, that is great, I do love her fabrics as well and hope to one day have a big collection besides just Joann's. I guess I'm not much of an online fabric shopper (yet). I have a hard time not being able to touch it and feel comfortable buying something I can't see. So glad that she is contributing.
I made a Grandmother's flower with some Amy Butler fabrics...I'm emailing it now. Huge fan of Amy and you, Disney!
How exciting! ;)
I love nice people...makes me feel good about spending money on her stuff!
Oh my gosh! That's fantastic! I wish I had time to make something to enter your contest now!!! Have fun! :)
I would love an autographed book by Amy Stinkin Butler!!!!
wow an amy buttler give away? Hello what could be better? count me in whos feet do i need to kiss LOL
I absolutely love the coat that is on her "love" brochure. The fabric is amazing!
How incredibly generous! Amy is so talented and I love hearing stories of her sweetness from other fabric designers and my local quilt shop owner.
hello. just wondered about the pink bag you picture at the end. it is super cute! did you use a pattern, or is it your own idea? i really like it, and it looks very handy! good job!
Thanks alot... Now I am going to go blow all my money on that "Love". So cute! I want it all!
Is there a pattern for the bag you made?? I really want a bag like that for my card making stuff. I would love to make it out of Amy Butler Fabric too. I order from Fabric.com so I can get some. :)
That is so cool you heard back! She has such beautiful fabrics.
Oh! I didn't make the bag, it should say "a bag I have, made by Amy"! Sorry about that! Kind of deceptive there. I bought it from a craft store a year ago :o)
Don't you love it when famous people turn out to be so nice? Ditto on the shower curtain comment, by the way.
ahh I so love her stuff too. I have her field bag pattern I have yet jumped into!
I love Amy's fabrics! I made my daughter an adorable sundress from one of her designs. There's so many cute ones to choose from! I hope I win!
That is sooo nice!! I love her fabrics and patterns, I can't wait for the giveaway. BTW, I have exact same bag you have in different color! Thank you for your wonderful blog!
That is sooo amazing! I am IN LOVE with Amy Butler fabrics too. They are so fun, sweet and colorful! And she is soo nice for offering you the book and fabrics!
I've always loved her fabric collections, but I was wondering were you by yours? My local fabric store doesnt't carry her line. Can you help. Thanks either way.
ps: I love your blog. You have such great tips tricks and ideas.
She is fabulous! I have quite a few of her books. Her patterns are awesome and I am usually jealous at the fabric she uses to create them!
amy butler is hands-down my most favorite fabric designer in the world. if you looked at all my sewing projects from the last year you would find 90% of them used amy butler fabrics.
i am so jealous that you've actually corresponded with her. she is like a fabric goddess to me!!

That is completely awesome, Disney! I love love LOVE her fabrics!
I agree. Amy's lines of fabrics and patterns are totally awesome. And how very generous of her/them.
I know how you feel! I absolutely adore Amy Butler. Did you know she makes paper too? I frequently use them on my books!
I work at a fabric store and we just LOVE Amy Butler. In fact, I just made a dress out of this amazing fabric that I found myself dreaming about night after night!
Hurray for Amy Butler and Hurray to you!
I LOVE Amy Stinkin Butler!! Her patterns are so easy to follow and who doesn't want to live in her fabric ALL THE TIME! So I made a ruffly thingy but wasn't going to submit it, NOW I AM!
Thanks for setting up this challenge!

Oh, sweeeeet!! You know, Amy is one of my fave's...yippeee!!
Jamie :)
I absolutely love Amy Butler too! That's so exciting! :)
I concur...Amy ROCKS! Kim
What could be better than an Amy Butler giveaway. I feel like my husband knows more about Amy Butler than he really should because I am so obsessed with her. I talk about her like she is my imaginary friend. Creepy? Maybe but she is so talented I feel justified in it!
