October 12, 2011


YES!! Straight from the good folks at Quiltmaker Magazine, this is your chance to win the pattern and fabric kit for the Winter Critters Quilt featured in the Nov/Dec 11 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine!

You will receive fabric for the top and facing/binding, and the 2-part Quiltmaker pattern. The Kit includes hand picked fabrics from Robert Kaufman to closely match those I used.

Oh man is this exiting or what?!

    Yes! I bought the latest issue of Quiltmaker specifically for this pattern!! I have never tried paper piecing before but I plan to make this to hang in my classroom. I teach eight year olds and they would love it. Thank you for the chance to win!

    I am so in love with this quilt! The style is fantastic and that little raccoon is so cute it makes up for how scared I am of raccoons in real life. 🙂 Super creative.

    omg…you do have adorable patterns. I have your halloween and love them. ….were does the inspiration come from?

    keep them coming!!!!!

    Can you do a parakeet? They have soo much personality and if anyone could capture that my vote is on you!

  29. October 12, 2011 2:18 pm

    ohmygoodness, awesome giveaway! you already know how excited i am about this pattern – i’m dying to play with it! i think i told you that a friend of mine is having a baby soon, and her “theme” is canadian wilderness/forest animals, so this would be so perfect for her! AND she’s a crafty sewer herself, so she will totally appreciate the work required for paperpieced quilt, and the fact that the pattern is designed by another canadian!

    i looked for the new issue of quiltmaker at the grocery store, but it wasn’t there yet. i’ll be stalking the magazine section until it comes, but i didn’t realize that i had to wait until february for the second part… patience is not my strongest skill!

  30. October 12, 2011 2:38 pm

    your patterns are so cute and creative…i’m a beginner so it may be over my head but i’d love to try this. thanks!

  31. October 12, 2011 2:55 pm
