1. Pattern Giveaway from Kristy from St. Louis Folk Victorian and Kristy Daum on Etsy.
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that I have had a bit of sewing machine troubles over the past few months. In early September, I was supposed to test this cool pattern but unfortunately, that was when I was completely without a sewing machine and so I was unable to help out. Fortunately, Kristy had several other bloggers testing it for her and the completed pattern is now for sale in her etsy shop - both in paper and PDF formats. Kristy is sponsoring giveaways of the PDF pattern all this week on the tester's blogs. To enter to win a PDF copy, just leave a comment on this post - any comment will do - just make sure you indicate in your comment that you would like to be entered into the giveaway and if you'd like, you can write about what you look for in quilt patterns. The giveaway will remain open until Thursday, November 8, 2012 at 8pm EDT and one winner will be chosen at random. And please, unless you are sure that you are NOT a no-reply blogger, leave an email address in your comment. And for more chances to win, visit these bloggers: Annie, Andi, Shelly, Nancy, Jess, and tomorrow: Sara, and Jacey.
The giveaway is now closed and the winner is #10: GGNovember 1, 2012 12:25 PM
Please enter me in the pattern give away. My basic desire in a pattern is to be able to understand the directions, clearly demonstrated via pictures or illustrations.

And as I mentioned, this has been a busy blog week for me - here are the links to my recent posts which include TWO great fabric giveaways!
What a cute pattern! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be entered in the giveaway. In a quilt pattern, I look for something that has just enough challenge, but not something that would drive me nuts as far as needing too much precise piecing!
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy! The pattern is so lovely. (I'd like to be entered in the giveaway)
ReplyDeleteYay anotehr great giveaway!! Looks like a great pattern! I can imagine it in some lovely floral prints.
ReplyDeleteThis looks a great pattern!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a copy
What a great quilt! It looks so very different as each of you interpret your vision of it through your choices of colors and layout of the colors! I love it and would love to win a copy of the pattern!!! Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be entered in the giveaway. I know this may sound crazy but I would prefer to buy (or win) a pattern (that's not a simple "oh do it this way" idea) because recently I have tried two bloggers' patterns and the math was wrong on both of them. One I was able to fix and one I just had to make the project smaller on the second one. Both bloggers were very nice when I pointed out the math error (resulting is more fabric than stated) but I just assume that when I pay for a pattern it's been tested and the kinks are generally worked out. I'm sure I'll run up against one in the future where there's a problem.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in the giveaway. In a pattern, I like the ability to customize the design to my desired size. Also,I like it to be a little out of the ordinary; doesn't have to be too challenging but like it to have some punch either with the design or the fabric used. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the pattern. I haven't been able to sew as much as I would like lately, and need a little jump start back into the swing of things. A fun pattern should do the trick!

ReplyDeleteYou are the hop queen ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. I would love to be entered in it.
Thanks for the chance to win this charming pattern. What I appreciate in a pattern--especially when there are specific cuts of fabric called for, such as jelly rolls or fat quarters--are cutting diagrams, showing how to get the right amount of cuts from each piece of fabric. That way, I won't get to the end of my fabric and find I'm short and should have been orienting my cuts a different way. Camille Roskelley is great about that, and that's one reason I give her patterns extra weight when I'm deciding what to buy.
ReplyDeleteBusy bee! Would love to enter the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the Index pattern. I look for clear instuctions, with diagrams when needed. I also really appreciate pressing directions if the seams need to interlock.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the giveaway - would love to win that pattern! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI would love to enter the giveaway- the pattern looks fabulous!! : )
ReplyDeleteCute pattern. I could almost make them look like my weiner dogs racing LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis pattern looks awesome! I would love to try it! When looking for patterns I look for something different but not too hard as I'm a beginner quilter. Thanks for a chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in the giveaway! I am new to quilting so I wo uld say right now I am looking dor patterns that are not to complex and have very clear instructions. Mrstexhammer @ gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI would like to be entered in the giveaway. I love quilts that have a twist. The need to stand out from every other quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered for this giveaway. I love this pattern. When I look at patterns, I usually look for good directions. That is really important to me as I am mostly a visual learner, so sometimes patterns can be challenging. Thanks for offering a copy of INDEX!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered in the giveaway of the Index pattern. I look for something "different" when looking for quilt patterns. Index sure is this!
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful pattern! I'd love to be in the chance to win it, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe Index pattern is so cool! I'd love to win it! I also hope your sewing machine troubles are over so you can sew it too!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to make this quilt for my friend! I might just have to buy it if I don't win!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win a copy of Kristy's Index pattern! Love the pattern! Thank you for this great giveaway. Hope your machine difficulties are at an end.
ReplyDeleteHave a super great sewing and stitching day.
Beth you have been so busy! I am glad you got your sewing problems fixed! I love Kristy's new pattern and would love to be entered in the drawing. I look for clear directions and diagrams or pictures in patterns. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIndex looks like a cool pattern. I'd love to win. I want patterns I buy to be well written, including pressing directions.
ReplyDeleteI love patterns that have many sizes! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cute pattern. I look for easy to follow instructions in a pattern. (I would like to be entered in the giveaway.). Thanks for the chance.

I heard from Amy how fun and easy this quilt is, I need one of those patterns for a charity quilt for Do good stitches and this would work.. thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI would like to be entered in the giveaway! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! I found you through Ellison Lane Quilts. :)
ReplyDeleteplease enter me in the giveaway and what I like is a detailed step by step pattern because we all aren't quilting at the same level.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in the give away. I love scrappy quilts, so I am more likely to get a pattern that would look good done in a variety of fabric colors and patterns. Nancy: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeletePlease enter me in the contest. What I look for in a quilt pattern is one that I can't easily do in EQ, or something that is different from others that I've seen. It also helps when there are fabric requirements for different sizes. Thank you!
