Hopefully you have all already read about the fabulously talented Samantha Cotterill of mummysam fame and her book with us, Fanciful Felties from mummysam. If you are coming to us today from the Martha Stewart Crafts Department blog: Welcome!
But for those of you who haven’t seen the press that Samantha is getting lately, check out a new project she created just for the Martha Stewart Crafts Dept. blog here.
Samantha has created instructions for a sweet take-along tote bag to hold one of her projects from Fanciful Felties: The Telephone Booth.
If that weren’t enough to keep her busy, she is also hosting a Etsy lab tonight in Brooklyn. She will be making the Charles project from her book. The lab is at 5 p.m. EST tonight so if you are in the New York City area, I hope you can be there to cheer her on. If not, you can watch the lab remotely here, but you do have to be an Etsy member.
To celebrate the wonderfulness that is mummysam, the kind staff at Robert Kaufman have sent us a lovely fabric bundle of the line she released with them this season.
This one is my favorite:
This is part of why I am so crazy about Sam. She and I have a humorously similar “Day in the Life” for our day-to-day, as I’m sure many of us do, yet, she still manages to make the time in her life for her art. And what a gift to all of us that she does! Congratulations to you, Sam, for all of your well deserved success today. I think today is officially National Mummysam Day!
To celebrate, we are having a GIVEAWAY! I will randomly select one person who comments on this post to receive a fabric bundle of mummysam’s first line from Robert Kaufman as well as a copy of her Fanciful Felties from mummysam book. To enter the fabric bundle/book giveaway, leave a comment below by next Wednesday the 29th and I will send an email to the winner.
So go forth and enjoy all of the mummysam-ness today and then come back and share how you celebrated National Mummysam Day!
She has amazing talent. I’d love to win this generous giveaway!
Oh, those fabrics are so cute and the book looks amazing!
Okay. That telephone booth is perhaps the coolest thing ever. And I mean ever…

Never heard of this artist but what a great introduction! I love it and especially the fabric line!
Very cute fabric!
Yes please! I’ve been wanting this book ever since it was first mentioned here on the Stash Books blog and matching fabric to go along with it is just a bonus! Mummysam is a creative genius!
Love that she has a fabric line coming out as the book is so much fun. Stash Books has introduced me to some of the most innovative books being published. Would love to win this giveaway.
So cute, fresh and new!
Love it!
I love the cute fabric and the phone box -off to have a look at her other stuff now!

Just stumbled upon mummysam this morning & am so happy to have found her & her wonderful goodies. Love her fabric & whimsical approach. Crossing my fingers for this one

I really love Ms. Cotterill’s artwork and follow her blog. The fabric is so much fun, too! I’m sure the book is going to be wonderful.
love, love, love those fabrics! i think i may have to make my husband an apron from one of those prints for christmas. i’m pretty sure the whole family would be in tears laughing seeing the expression on his face as he opens the package… “for me??? oh… nice. how very, uhm, suitable?… silence… for me? really??”
I’ve been a fan of mummysam ever since I stumbled across her etsy shop about two years ago. She has so much talent!
Those fabrics are soooo cute! Love it love it love it!!!

Wow great prizes, would love to win.
Thanks for the wonderfuly giveaway! I have been a fan of Mummysam for awhile. The book looks great!
Thanks for chance to win such a great book and lovely fabric
oh my! I’ve just recently learned of mummysam and I’m sooooo in love! Felties are not something that would normally appeal to me, but having seen her work in other blogs, I am just smitten! I want to make that phone booth so bad! And I can’t wait to get a hold of all those beautiful Robert Kaufman fabrics. I am a day-in-the-life junkie!!
Like Abby had commented, I too read the name as Mummy-san. I guess my eyes glazed over in all the ‘M’s. So Abby, you are not alone! I love these fabrics! Thank you for the fab giveaway!
