Oh, look - there it is, sat in all it's glory, Donkey watching over it. Do you wanna peek inside?
Now, that's a familiar tattoo, isn't it? Justine asked for a pic of it, and I was grateful she didn't ask for one of my face because then I'd have had to try and sit and look professional.
In the interview I witter on about all sorts of things - my family, my addiction to fabric, making stuff when I was little. I think it's quite interesting, I hope so, at least.
How about a giveaway then? We can have a little celebration.
As you can see I haven't quite managed to finish the prize yet. It's a work in progress, but you get the idea, right?
One gloriously lucky winner will receive a (finished) grocery tote bag, 5 co-ordinating fat quarters (4 of which are Amy Butler, the other is a solid), some matching lace trim, and (of course) a copy of mixtape.
Leave a comment and I'll make the draw after the weekend!

OOOH! First gracing the pages of a fashion magazine blog, and now MixTape! You're famous! No wonder I'm cyber stalking you!
I ordered my mixtape copy the other day so I'd better not enter the giveaway (although the fabrics look lovely too!) Anyway can't wait to read the whole article!
Beautiful tatoo! I love it.
And thanks for sharing these pics.
I had a peek at it today! Well done Katy and I didn't know about the criminology!
I've been thinking about getting quilting stitches tattooed on my shoulder to connect my other tattoos and add more dimension. Love your tat though.
Congrats on the article and thank you for hosting this great giveaway!
I only want a copy if you autograph it first :-)
How exciting for you!!
Your tattoo is gorgeous. And I'd love to win your giveaway.

Thank you for the give away :-)
Congratulations on being famous! Hoe exciting for you and for us, your readers, who discovered you.
Don't forget us little people when you go on to more fame and fortune!!
Congrats!
Hmm, maybe Grace will be like your brother and Leo will be like his mum!
One day when he's making designer clothes and in demand, he can make stuff for his mum!
And Grace will be either a fine artist or an illustrator like Rima at the Hermitage or Jackie of We Three Cats...
Well done, I told you it felt like bumping into a celebrity when I saw you at the Festival of Quilts last week!
Congratulations on the article. I wouldn't be brave enough to have such a fabulous tattoo!
I do love your tatoo, considering getting one as I hit 40 this year.. though still not really found a design i love enough to have done. Love the idea of one just want something I will not grow tired of.
Oh yes and please add me to the draw, thanks.
Thanks for the chance! Love your tattoo - I have 3 but they're all animals, no crafty-themed ones (yet). Congratulations on your "brush with fame!"
if I won this grocery bag would I too have lots of people from foreign countries stopping to ask where I had got it? Just checking ;-)
Congrats! and FAB tat!
April xx
I would love to win this prize! Oh, and I love the tat! =)
That is not a brush with fame that is a head on collision. Congratulations. Enjoy it and we will hope this is only a small part of your 15 minutes of fame.

Congratulations! Must be so exciting to see your name in print! And the tat looks amazing too (I'm almost tempted...!)

Congrats on being famous (or at least having a famous tattoo)! What a fun give away. I so love all my canvas totes. I use them to store fabrics for each project I am working on (I think I have 8 or 9 in progress right now).
Congratulations on the article! Your tattoo is cool:-)

Cool tatoo!! (wish I was brave enough!)

Hi Lovely Katy, I know it's a been a while...I have certainly been MIA haven't I? I have good excuse, I am pregnant with #5 and as I slowly make my way past the 12 week hurdle I seem to be also saying good-bye to all day long nausea and just general yuckiness:( Hopefully, that will mean I can return to blogging and crafting soon, it has just been so hard!
I saw your article a couple of weeks ago when I received my copy of mixed tape and was very excited to see you in there, it's a great interview. Congratulations!!!
You don't need to include me in your draw as I already have the Mag!
I hope to be in contact more often from now on...
Take care my lovely bloggy friend,
Tam xo
A true fabriholic with no hope of recovery - and no desire to either! Congrats!
Love the tatoo. I have been contemplating one myself. and it seems that ever since I started I am noricing them more.
Congrats on the article.
Thanks for the cool give away!

What a fun article! I've been following your blog for quite some time, and now you are on hard copies! Too exciting!
Very cool tattoo, and I would so love to win your tote and the goodies!
Thanks for the chance -
I opened it up last week and 'twas with glee that I read about you and your exploits. Very exciting! My famous ATWQB swap partner!
Grea tpic of your tat in the article!!! I'd love to read it, so it's be great if your send all that lovely stuff down here to me :-)

How exciting, fame on a global scale!
Hi, I've been following your blog for a while, I'm a new blogger and find your stuff very inspiring....congrats on being famous. I have the current issue right on my desk!
It's such a great article and pics! Don't put me in the draw - just wanted to say congrats again! xx
congratulations on the interview and thanks for the chance to win such lovely goodies!
Big congrats on such amazing coverage. I've been toying with getting my first tattoo done - maybe a feature in Mixtape is the incentive I need :-) Will you come with me and hold my hand?
Ooh! I'd love to get picked so I can read your article (and I think the bag would look great on me :)) Congrats on your article!!
Super cool tatt!! Great vibe from your answers. Just hang for my copy of Mixtape to arrive in the mail, and then sat in bed that night and read the whole thing in one sitting! Have followed your blog through other Melbourne blogs and was stoked to see you in this edition. If my name is picked as the winner, I want you to give the mag to someone that hasn't a copy yet but I want that gorgeous bag to hang off my shoulder when I go to the market!! Thanks for sharing your world with us.
Hi from Australia. Hope I am not too late. Looks like a great prize. Love reading the blog. Sam (Sandra) s.downes@murdoch.edu.au
Ok I worked out I was trying to leave a comment with misspelt ID and your comments bouncer was having none of it.
Anyhow, of course I would love the lowdown on your addiction to fabric and your sewing skills when you were little.........Oh very yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That tattoo is fabulous! I love it. Congrats on your fame.
What a cool tattoo you have! Congratulations on the publication! That is awesome. You are famous, indeed and I am so happy for you that you have been included in such a neat thing!
Congratulations on your article, I love to follow your blog and see what you are making/made next. It is very inspirational. I tend to stick to my safe fabrics beige and erm brown. It is so nice to see what can be done with fresh cute ones. One day I will try.
Well done - though I ended up on a rap website looking for your article!
Very cool Katy!! That is a great shot of your arm! And they have the animal quilt pic in there, I love that quilt!
Congrats on the interview! That's a lovely looking tote-in-progress...
Great tattoo, great giveaway, congratulations
That is a very original tatoo! How long did it take to have done? Love Amy Butler fabric too, generous giveaway Katy.
