Love this giveaway! I’m drawn to so many patterns…love geometrics, floral and any hand drawn prints.
Oh, how I love pattern! I am on a bit of a pattern designing bender at the moment and I’m sure reading a book like this would be fantastic inspiration. If I had to choose… oh dear, what a choice… I’m having a torrid daydream dalliance with facets and geometric patterns (they make my heart race just that little bit faster – the Ryan Gosling of patterns…), even though I know at the end of the day, I’ll always be true to a beautiful vintage, freehand floral pattern a la Florence Broadhurst… the more metallics, the better!
Awesome! I would love to win this. Well, I really like hand-painted, simple decorative patterns. A combination of organic & geometric shapes. This book will definitely an inspiration.
Thank you for the opportunity ;)

I personally have always loved floral patterns, but I’m starting to love geometric patterns – just not on my designs. They never fit properly haha
I like patterns with nature or floral motifs.
My favorite patterns are either really stark, heavily relying on basic shapes or repetitive shaping and myriad colors, or organic with intricate linework like the work of Aubrey Beardsley.
I love love love geometric patterns. They’re my favourite!
I am loving chevrons at to mo
Love all kinds of patterns and colors, but I’ve always had a weakness for polka dots.
I love chevron, stripes, and ladylike florals. And polka dots but only if they’re unorganized. I love simple color schemes, but complex and detailed designs if they tell stories.
I love paisley and vintage patterns with subdued pastel colors :)
I love your website! My favorite patterns are anything floral and watercolor! :)
Great giveaway! I’m currently obsessed with arrows and triangles.
Ohmygosh…I have the first book, and it’s such an inspiring resource to have in my library! I flip through it all the time! I really really love handdrawn, busy patterns, myself…very illustrated ones. :) Thanks for the chance!

I love ALL THINGS pattern-y. Circles, crazy shapes, and pastel colors are my current loves.
I’m in! I loved the first book and would love love love this one. My favourite patterns, ummm where do I start. I love the painterly style of Nani Iro. I love things that are a little quirky or naive especially Echino fabrics. I love the simplicity and style of Scandinavian patterns and design and finally, I can never go past a stripe. Awesome giveaway Jo.
