In case you haven’t heard… there’s a big blog hop giveaway party going on thanks to Quilting Gallery. I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate that my little blog has reached 200 followers. That’s super exciting in my world!
So want to know what’s on offer? Oh I ummed and ahhed over what to offer up as a giveaway prize… can I bear to part with this charm pack? Should I keep it? Really, am I going to use it or just look at it and pet it occasionally? Shouldn’t I share it with someone who will make something fabulous? And so on and so forth. Aren’t you glad you don’t live in my brain? It’s exhausting! But I have decided to part with this bit of lovely fabric goodness, that only recently arrived in my possession (which perhaps makes it easier to part with).
So on offer for this giveaway – a charm pack of Pure by Sweetwater – which is getting harder to find these days. See my dilemma on giving it up? But no,I’m staying strong. It’s on my blog, that makes it real.
And to sweeten the deal, I’m also offering 4 of my paper pieced patterns in PDF form. That’s all of the transport patterns so far.
If you’re a bit of a paper piecing fanatic (I refuse to say addict, fanatic has a much nicer ring to it!), pop over to my Patterns page for a bunch of paper piecing – both free and for purchase. You might also like to check out the Practically Paper Piecing Blog Hop which is wrapping up soon – with a linky party for paper pieced projects. More giveaways. Just saying.
So how do you win this little giveaway of mine? You have two chances! And everyone is welcome - I will post internationally.
1. Leave me a comment. Any comment but if you need a topic, how about some ideas on what you’d like to see for a new paper pieced pattern.
2. Leave me a separate comment if you are a follower of my blog – both old and new are welcome!
I will have random.org pick a winner on the 4th September (Aussie time). Please make sure I have an email address to contact you on if you happen to be the winner! Good luck!!
So feeling lucky? Pop over to Quilting Gallery and check out some of the other blogs that are having giveaways. The full list of participating blogs will be posted on Sunday August 26th, shortly after midnight. Have fun storming the castle! ;)
Sorry to say but I am a paper piece addict!!!

ReplyDeleteI haven't tried paper piecing yet. I know!! I think it's amazing what blocks are created with the technique, so I don't know why I haven't started. I like girly stuff & vintage things. Even sewing themes would be fun paper pieced.

ReplyDeleteI'm a long-time follower :) just been bad at keeping up the past 3 weeks due to starting a new work and being so exhausted at night from sorting all the inputs I get....

ReplyDeleteOhh I'm scared of paper piecing so please no patterns for me - I have 2 patterns for blocks in a QAL and I need to tackle them and if there are too many I might just never convince myself it can't be thath bad. I mean it really can't be it's just in my head ... I can drive a tractor with trailer backwards around a corner how much harder can paper piecing be?
ReplyDeleteThank you for parting with one of your treasures!
What a lovely giveaway! Thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about some paper pieced owls?? x
ReplyDeleteI am a paper piecing novice & a little scared of attempting it. I have been following the Paper Piecing blog hop with interest & hope to gather the courage to attempt a small project soon. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
