How many more? I hear you asking….okay okay…this will be it for a while. I mean I don’t want to drive you all nuts with too many giveaways do I?
So this giveaway is for my individual block pattern for the ‘Springtime’ quilt pattern. Block 8.
As you all know this is a very special quilt us Gum Nutter girls all designed it and put it together for Fresh Hope Foundation to raise some much needed dollars for the very good cause that they do.
If you pop on over to the Among the Gum Tree’s blog you can read all about it and enter in the huge giveaway we are having over there.
To be the winner of my
Springtime Block 8 ‘In A Twirl” pattern,
I am going to ask you all to leave a comment on this post telling me what you would like me to design in the near future.
It can be anything that you would like to see ‘out there’.
I will draw the winner on 26th January 2011.
Good luck in the draw. Only one comment please *grin*
Hugs to all……Vicki
I'd like to see some small projects for the ones who have time constraints like me eg...journal covers,cushions :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a quilt with the same draws but in aplique.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
Love the stitchery and I can see many uses for it... maybe some more stitcheries to be used in smaller projects- runners, bags etc... mainly just keep designing as your work in an inspiration to us all xxx
ReplyDeleteI would love a quilt on the 'sewing theme', stitchery of a rotary cutter, needles, scissors, ...
ReplyDeleteI love your stitcheries, so maybe a cute pincushion or table runner.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've seen so far you're quite awesome at this designing thing and don't need "help" ;) Little stuff was a good answer - as I work away at my (aged) UFO pile and remind myself everything I start does NOT have to be a queen sized quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like very much your individual design, so I think I would like you to stitch the life of the forest, with mushrooms and squirrel and so on... A litlle baby quilt, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteMe too, I love the small projects. They are fast done and great gifts. Love everything like stitcheries, applique, piecing ...
ReplyDeleteI am on the search for a small eastergift.
I agree with all the folks who have suggested some smaller items. With Stitchery. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like doing smaller projects, so I finish them quicker! Table runners, cushion covers, wall hangings etc. Thank you for the chance to win, and thank you for the runners up pattern from your last giveaway...I love it!! Linda
ReplyDeleteI love tablerunners with a lot of lovely stitcheries. Placemats would be very nice too.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you design something with owls in it!! Like a pajama pillow with a pair of night owls! that would be so cute!
ReplyDeleteMother's Day isn't that far away. Maybe a little stitchery that can be made for her or someone special like a sister if your mum has passed on.
ReplyDeleteHugs
I like anything that has a purpose like something to hold patterns, bags, baby things, stitcheries on something, journal covers, ipad covers, phone covers, laptop cover. I think that will do.
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns, because their gracile and kind style. I like redwork and applique too and love to see combined pattern in the future. Hugs Györgyi
ReplyDeleteHello Vicki,
ReplyDeletewhat do you think about a "Circus" theme? I am sure it would be very nice with your designs.
I am looking forward to see, what you decided to do.
Thank you for sharing

Wow, lots of great ideas! I echo the idea of smaller projects, especially if they can be combined into a larger project like a quilt or a wallhanging, or combined with pieceing or applique, at maker's choice.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity!

What would you expect from me but a request for more nature related designs, whimsical is good! ~karen
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of more smaller stitheries that have so many uses , your designs are beautiful so whatever you decide I am sure we will love.
ReplyDeleteI love small projects & hand stitchery...how abou something with a paisley design in it
ReplyDeleteI too, would like a smaller stitchery with applique. I do like all your work. Very inspirational. Talented lady you are!!! Dianne
ReplyDeleteSmall projects esp with a seasonal theme. Seems I don't have much of my stuff decorating around here..I tend to give everything away! OR a great idea: a calander block for every month of the year.
ReplyDeleteYes definitely something small and portable!
ReplyDeleteSomething in a wall hanging size with stitchery and applique with a nature theme, bugs and birds is what I'd like to see. Thanks for everything Vicki.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some of the smaller stitchery designs - that could be used for any occasion.
ReplyDeleteWe have seen so many quilts with squares. What about a small wall hanging with circles filled with small stitcheries and some very small hexagon flowers in between. Thank you for sharing your lovely designs.
ReplyDeleteOh I agree a sewing theme ,wouldn't that be great fun.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see some beach or summery landscape scenes. I love your work and enjoy seeing all your designs.
ReplyDeleteKitchen items - covers for teapot, mixer, toaster, etc. with embroidery; or sewing machine covers.
ReplyDeleteSmall wall hanging for the quilt/sewing room related to that.
Love the idea listed about seashore/ocean.
Wow, opportunity.. and then I freeze.. ummm. I had an idea this morning that I really needed something to hang next to my dresser on the wall with little sections on it to pair up my pierced earrings. I could pin them through a decoration, and they would add to the decor. When I took them off, I would put them back in the same place, and when I needed to find them, I would find them there, in pairs... not in the bottom of a box somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love baskets of flowers - with your talent, I'd love to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteYour designs are beautiful! I especially like this pattern with a combination of stitching shapes and words with the quilting, too! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion would be to use your lovely designs in a more masculine (trucks or fishing or sports) design. It's very hard to find boy designs out there!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I am trying to improve my FMQ this year by practicing on small projects.
ReplyDeleteOK, sounds silly, but I would love an outhouse theme. A cute outhouse with flowers or designs for the seasons! I'm a country girl and have been thinking back to my great grandmothers house, she didn't have indoor plumbling. Silly I know, but you did ask!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a small wall hanging with sewing related stitcheries.
ReplyDeleteSome ting with stitchery as I love doing these
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more stitchery and patchwork, as do not know how to do applique (yet). I prefer larger items like bed quilts. Thank you for this giveaway. The quilt is lovely, though cannot enter that giveaway because requires a blog. Alas, I am blogless.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki
ReplyDeleteYour designs are all gorgeous and I reckon with all the ideas coming forward, you will be designing for a long time in the future!
Regards
Val
I love stitchery....maybe a table runner or a bag.
ReplyDeleteWonderful designs. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBilie
I collect miniature bags and shoes and would like to see a BOM with those. OXOXOX
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely design and is making me think about how I can use flying geese in a design for my father with Nature panels. I have not done stitcheries in my quilts so perhaps your pattern would be my first attempt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win a nice price.
Regards.
Anna
Stitcheries are great maybe with bears, fairies anything small. There are a few good suggustions in the list
ReplyDeleteKim
I need some table Mats so I would like A stitchery With A cup On A saucer with flowers in it I think that would look nice.
ReplyDeleteHugs Mary.
Love your work.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some small quilting & stitchery projects.
Thanks :)
I love seeing anything you design!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see some more small stitcheries on small projects. There are so many swaps and so much gift givng between bloggers that some new ideas in this area would be most welcome.
ReplyDeleteWow Vicki - I love your block! It's gorgeous, and I love the words with it.
ReplyDeleteIdeas - egads - you truly got some great ones! I love your flowers, so more nature would be wonderful. Oh heck, I love everything you do. And I agree with the others about the smaller projects - those are fun without the huge commitment of time.
Hi and Happy New Year. I really like all of your designs but I would love to see a bom maybe attributed to women. Like maybe different eras of clothes or maybe like things that are associated with women...something like that. This way it would be just for us...just an idea that I really am not explaining correctly.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki
ReplyDeleteI am having my first grandchild - a boy - in a few weeks. How about something for the boys. Sharyn
I would like to see some small, quick projects that can be worked up quickly for Mother's Day. All your designs are so lovely! Nola
ReplyDeleteI would like to see something where the illustrations could be done in redwork by hand or replaced by a redwork design in machine embroidery of the same object eg: flower or bird or cat etc.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is nice to have a design worked out for you to slip machine redwork, or whitework as I did on red towels at Christmas, in instead of the hand stitchery. Mind you I like both. But nice to dream.
And speaking of Giveaways, I have one for over 1000 posts...all you have to do is choose one of the elements in my blog you have enjoyed.....and please pass the word on. I have a nice Yazzi craft bag as first prize.

Hope you do not mind some self advertising Toss. You can always delete me....
How about a tea towel set with applique?
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI love all your designs, the small ones, too.
Hugs from Germany, Jutta
Everything you do is beautiful--like many others, there are times when I could use something relatively quick to whip up for a gift. Mother's Day, birthdays, graduations, things of that nature are always coming up...
ReplyDelete...and we all love different themes. I love music, sewing, farm life, cooking--any patterns you create are bound to be a hit with someone!
You'll never hit a home run with all of us at once, dear. We're all different and that's a beautiful thing! Do what you love and what appeals to you. We'll love it, too!

Hmmm...well, I too love stitcheries. I collect teapots and teasets, so a stitchery with them incorporated would be nice. Something like a table runner or small tablecloth for a High Tea maybe? I also love, and collect all things bee & beehives, so would love a little kitchen wallhanging with cute bees, and maybe a really nice kitchen saying on it too. Maybe something like, "Eat here at your own peril" - No, no, just joking!!! I mean something nice - a Christian verse would be lovely. Thanks for the opportunity Vicki! Hugs n Blessings from Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI love your hat stand emborideries. I would love to see some vintage looking dresses on stands to co-ordinate with them! That would be too darling!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI love cute stitcheries, or a bag organiser LOL
Hugs, Sharon
I would love to be able to applique some Australian animals and birds. As all your work is of the highest standard and very enjoyable to do, I look forward to whatever you have in store next. Cheers for a great year ahead.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the pattern for your block. It is wonderful. I would love to see some small projects that could be worked into quilts or smaller individual projects. Thanks for a chance at this wonderful pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love your designs and would like to see smallish items for around the house such as table runners
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of stitcheries and applique in a project bag or even sewing caddy.
ReplyDeleteI know this isn't very original, but I love them, and know several others who love them too....and I'm talking about OWLS...hoot hoot!
ReplyDeleteMaybe some stitcheries or a bag, similar in size to Dawns Baseco bag with an owl stitchery on it or even some cute applique owls perhaps.
Hugs Naomi
I love this pattern!! thanks for the chance to win!! Ideas...ouch....how about baskets, birds and bees...hey I'm just sipping my first coffee of the day...cut a girl some slack!! :o)
ReplyDeleteTake care and thanks again!
Paulette
Lovely pattern..... as I have already a set of lovely patterns please redraw if my name comes up.... as for future designs....I'd love little birds/owls with your style...
ReplyDeleteHugz
What a cute pattern, and I know it would be such fun to do!
ReplyDeleteMicki
First time at your site. Very interesting and will be back. I would love to see some blocks with fairies embroidered in them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win your wonderful pattern.

I like all the ideas that others have mentioned, especially nature designs and seasons.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see some smaller projects as well.
ReplyDeletetshaw6580@yahoo.com
I love stitcheries - especially redwork. Cute critter designs are always a winner in my book. Cute Aussie animals as single stitcheries with the possibility of a BOM (did that make sense?).
ReplyDeleteI am looking for something with frogs!
ReplyDeleteHi Vikki i would like to see you design a laundry bag with a beautiful scene on the front and of course some frills some where.
ReplyDeletecheers Sheryl

I was thinking that this year I was going to go for more small projects that I know I will be able to get completed. I'd like to see maybe a Halloween wall hanging.
ReplyDeletelove small projects.
ReplyDeleteI love your sticheryes, so go on as you go. Jofrid
ReplyDeleteWell I haven't seen you do even one thing I didn't like. I do tend to be drawn to smaller projects though......mainly because my UFO pile has risen!!hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteI like the stitcheries. Maybe some for a baby quilt will be nice.
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas.
Love your stitchery projects. I would love to see tablerunners too. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see you design some tea things - tea pots, tea cups, cup cakes - for 1m square table cloth, tea cosies, tray cloths. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteYour stitcheries are so lovely, how about a sewing machine cover with an antique sewing machine, scissors and thread on the cover. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteun gran abrazo, publicas cosas bellisimas...
ReplyDeleteI would love to see some more stitcheries with cats or birds. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteSmaller items that don't cause folks like me to stress out because I can't stand to have UFOs sitting around unfished. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
