Today’s the day!
We’re announcing the winner of the Blog Hop…
AND showcasing our newest free pattern.
So, starting with the free Circle Quilt… We love it because it’s easy. It uses one layer cake plus background and border (and a few other misc. supplies). It’s a really nice way to showcase an entire line of fabric.
Preferably Chantilly! Ha! (Which by the way is available in stores right now. We had a number of people ask when it was coming out… and it’s already here! Fat Quarter Shop always carries a big selection!)
The whole Circle Quilt idea started rather randomly. With this particular line, we didn’t receive our samples of the fabric until super late… so I decided to Photoshop a little quilt project together, and then stick it up on Pinterest.
Well, it wound up getting passed around a little bit… and then I started having a ton of people emailing me about what pattern we used in the photo. Which was awesome! Because this was the first quilt I had ever designed… usually my mom and sister do the patterns.
Anyway, my mom took this random Saturday doodle and turned it into an actual quilt pattern. (These photos are of the real thing that she whipped together. 
) We think it would make an awesome quilt kit.
and you can download it here.
You can also check out our other free patterns here on our website… we have quite a few. I have high res versions too, so email me if you need those.
Now for the Blog Hop Winners… Blog Hops are so much fun!! We always love reading the wonderful comments and seeing how creative everyone is! And with this Hop we drew two winners.
I’ve just emailed both of you, so as soon as you send me your address, your fabric will be in the mail! Yay! Thanks to everyone for stopping by… and be sure to find us on Facebook! Our newest line is totally adorbs and you’ll be the first to know about it if you keep up with us!

I'm the designer in the group... And I write about half of the blog posts here. I'm also co-founder of a startup called Shelf (launching soon).
Carrie heads up our PR department. She's also one of the main contributors to a book that we're publishing. And she takes care of LOTS of other stuff, because she's awesome! And we all think she should quit her day job to pursue the wonderful world of pattern making. (Kidding Carrie, chill.)
Calendar Girls
While, at first, this may seem like a lame gift idea, it’s actually one of the most useful items we receive all year. You see, the calendars Lauren and I get are pre marked with important dates, anniversaries, and birthdays. Jessi even takes it one step further and notes the very last date we can put a card in the mail without being late. The end result of her effort is a set of friends and family who are impressed with our thoughtfulness and timely gift/card arrivals.
With calendars playing such a significant role in our facade of organization, you can imagine that we were all pretty excited to hear that a Lauren + Jessi Jung Designs quilt was going to be featured in two of Martingale’s quilt calendars next year.

Ahh yes, gone are the days where we have to see pictures of other people’s quilts on our kitchen wall-calendars. For the months of May and June, at least, we can gaze at our very own Gypsy Moth and Big Bang quilts while being reminded that Father’s Day is approaching and we have yet to send our cards.
These calendars have just shipped to stores, but we’ll also be giving a copy away to two lucky readers next week. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. We’ll be announcing the winners on Friday, August 1st.
