Sorry for the delay in announcing the giveaway winners ... we spent the Easter break at a farm stay ...
... the beautiful Port Campbell in country Victoria ....
unfortunately I never had full internet access which made blog posting a little hard!!!!!
So without further delay the winners of the last post giveaway are ......
Elisa who left comment number 20...
LOVE all of them! Posting to my blog now! Where can I get these patterns in the US?
Posted by: Elisa | April 08, 2011 at 05:19 AM
Elisa also purchased a pattern during the giveaway period and also went to the trouble of linking to the post from her blog! Thank you Elisa! I will be sending Elisa a copy of the Family Tree pattern complete with a kit to make it up.
The second pattern which was Garden Gatheringwill be going to Kirsty who left comment number 91 ....
I love your patterns but am completely freaked out by raw-edge applique so have never purchased and tried one. Winning would be great -- it could get me started!
Posted by: Kristy | April 09, 2011 at 11:36 AM
Hopefully you wont be too freaked out to give the pattern a try Kirsty!
Last but by all means not least the pattern for Love goes to Barbara who left the 26th comment ....
Love the "project"! What a fantastic medium to learn the digestive system.
BUT......the "In Spring" quilt is OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Posted by: Barbara Holley | April 08, 2011 at 06:39 AM
Thank you to everyone who joined in! I really appreciate your support!
AQC has come and gone and I hope those of you who got to go along enjoyed it as much as I did! If you attended you would have seen several of my designs on the Ballarat Patchwork stand and ...
the In Stitches of Williamstown stand ....
If you take a look at the back wall of this stand you will see my latest design which is called Animal Alphabet .... I hadn't intended to formally release this pattern until Spring Market .... but market is so close now it hardly makes any difference so ..... Ta da!!!!!!
Animal Alphabet ... I hope you love it as much as I do!!!!
Seeing this post has turned out to be another new release blog post I guess we should have another giveaway!!!!!! Let's make it the same rules as the previous one ....
If you leave a comment on this post between now and 12MN on the 4th of May 2011 (Australian EST) you will go in the draw for one of the patterns from the three small projects that I have been teaching from this year;
Family Tree
Garden Gathering
Love

To be eligible to win the kit you will also need to email at kellie@dontlooknow.com.au , notifying me of the purchase - please title your email Pattern Purchase Blog Giveaway so that I don't miss it! You can also increase your chances by gaining an extra 2 entries if you mention and link to the giveaway on your blog - you will need to email me to let me know that you did this - please title your email Blog Mention and include the link to the post.
The winners will be drawn randomly from the comments placed during giveaway period.
Good luck guys!
********************************************
Edit ...Laura from In Stitches of Williamstown has just let me know that she is also having a giveaway on her blog that has a DLN theme ... definitely worth a visit!!! Laura also has fabric packs for Animal Alphabet for those of you keen to get started!
********************************************
I also am looking for some help with things that we will be needing for the stand at next months Spring Market ... when I asked for help last year with the Fall Market stand I got stacks of offers for help at market in Salt Lake City ... sadly when my computer broke down a couple of months ago I lost all of the contact details of those who offered help .... so hopefully you are all out there still reading along and still willing to lend a hand ... we will be needing;
* two small step ladders
* a trolley
* one or two small white book cases
* extension cords & power boards
plus a few other odds and ends ... please email me at kellie@dontlooknow.com.au if you think you may be able to help and I'll let you know the full details .... plus let you in on my end of the bartering arrangement :) ....
Thanks everyone and good luck with the giveaway!!!

Posted by: Cathb | April 28, 2011 at 08:14 AM
I just completed "Alphabet Soup" and I love the way it turned out. I'd be thrilled with any one of your teaching patterns!

I'll be in Salt Lake City the week before for the HMQS Show and wish I was able to stay a week later for Market as that would be sooo much fun!

You just want to make me go back to Australia. I live in the US but lived in Melbourne for 6 weeks. We weren't lucky enough to have such a sunny day at the 12 Apostles. I remember getting lunch at a little restaurant with that view of the little bay in Port Campbell. You must have had a great time!
The new quilt is fantastic. I too am scared a bit of applique. I wish you were closer and I could attend one of your classes.
Posted by: Kari | April 28, 2011 at 02:23 PM
You are so creative. I love that you use such bright colors. When I see one of your quilts, I smile and that is a great thing that you do for everyone who sees your patterns. I would love to win one of your patterns.
Cheers,
Lunachance

Kellie, you've done it again. This Animal Alphabet quilt is just gorgeous. Will definately be going on my "to do list".
Posted by: Shell | April 28, 2011 at 05:38 PM
I was gutted that I didn't win the patterns, so thanks for another chance to win! I love the animal alphabet, it's absolutely gorgeous... that's one for my wish list but I definitely need to improve my sewing skills first!
Posted by: Wendy | April 28, 2011 at 06:28 PM
Love, love, love animal alphabet!! I have made your monster quilt for one of my boys and now I can't wait to make this one for my littlest man!

Posted by: Chriss Jasper | April 28, 2011 at 08:36 PM
Kellie, your Animal Alphabet pattern is absolutely adorable. I do so enjoy your technique for raw-edged applique, and that luscious quilting! A chance to win a pattern is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Just lovely! My "big" son going to school this autumn would love to snuggle under such a friendly quilt. And his Mom would love to make it for him - and a lovely pilow for herself ;) Thanks for all the inspiration!
Posted by: Edit Barta | April 29, 2011 at 06:16 AM

I love your new pattern, Kellie. I love all your work! Can't wait until your workshop in August!
Posted by: Sandy | April 30, 2011 at 08:55 AM
I found your blog a few months ago and had never heard of raw edge applique. Normal applique scares me, but what you create is some of the most beautiful work I've ever seen and it inspires and encourages me. In fact, I just bought two of your patterns...wish me luck!
Posted by: Jennifer | April 30, 2011 at 03:05 PM
Seriously... the Animal Alphabet is a project that I REALLY want to do, but I've never tried this technique before. Bad first project? LOL
Everything is so beautiful. I'm always excited to see a new post on my google reader from you.
Posted by: Lori | April 30, 2011 at 03:31 PM
Ooh I love your patterns and have just purchased In Spring - waiting impatiently for it to arrive!
Posted by: Laura | April 30, 2011 at 03:51 PM
I love your patterns, I wish I could win one of them. Thanks.
