Giveaway Day

It's Giveaway Day over at SewMamaSew and I'm joining in.
You can win a pattern for my Emperors Wheel quilt and a pack of my new foundation piecing papers.
The quilt features foundation pieced New York Beauty blocks and a fabulous flying geese centre circle.

The pattern makes up to a quilt measuring 50" x 60" - just add another border to make it bigger.

The papers are 50gsm - nice and thin so they'll come out easily and are A4 size to fit all printers.
50 in a pack and soon to appear in my etsy shop.

All you need to do to win the pattern and papers (not the quilt though!) is leave me a comment on this post.
It's open til 16th December and I'll draw the winner randomly. Very happy to post overseas so what are you waiting for.
Check out SewMamaSew and leave comments for heaps of other Giveaways.
Good luck!

    I'd love to try my hand at foundation piecing. I'm new to quilting so I love trying all the different techniques the craft has to offer. The pattern looks amazing.

    Hello there! SewMamaSew sent me and boy, am I glad I came! Your quilt is simply GORgeous, and I'd absolutely LOVE to give it a go!! I've only made one "real" quilt, but I've done several paper pieced pieces (does that even make sense?) and I really love how they always come together! Thanks for the great giveaway!!

    I have been seriously contemplating attempting to foundation piece in 2012. I have a science degree in nursing yet paper piecing frightens me. Thank you for your generous give away.

    Whoosh! I feel like I'm diving off the diving board at the deep end of the pool. I'm hoping once I get into the foundation piecing pool, I'll realise that the water wasn't that deep, or scary. The pattern is soo beautiful though, how could I not attempt to learn to foundation piece ! It's a wonderful pattern!!(Ps. perhaps it's also like piano music. Lots of notes, but once you learn it, you think..that's all there is to it?) Hopefully I'll be a better quilter though, than piano player! lol!

    I love foundation piecing! It makes me look like I really know what I'm doing. All those perfect points, you know. :)

    Thank you for the chance to win the papers and the pattern. I've always been scared to try New York Beauty even with papers, this would certainly give me some incentive to tackle the job!
