Another Giveaway!!!

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 have been busy finishing writing up the pattern for the Springtime quilt that is going to be available soon from Fresh Hope.

I love how Jenny said it was like us having a baby and it was like that…..nurturing it for 9 months….although it felt like it was longer than that as there was lots of planning and sewing and writing up patterns. To me this is our ‘Baby’ and I hope you all will love it as much as we all did. Us Gum Nutters are very proud of it and are very excited with the release of the pattern which will be soon.

Hugs to all……..Vicki
