Pattern Giveaway

I am in the midst of cleaning my office. And not just a swipe over the top — I’m actually opening up the cabinets and clearing those out, too. It’s interesting the treasures you find when you do something like this.

What I found this morning were copies of 3 patterns designed by the owner of the former quilt shop in town. These are awesome, awesome, awesome scrappy quilts.

I have other copies of these, so you, my lucky blog readers, are going to get the opportunity to own one of these patterns. Just comment on this post between now and Sunday, and I’ll have my assistants draw 3 lucky winners from the names.

First up is Zigzag 9 —

This quilt uses 2.5 inch strips, so it’s great for jelly rolls or strip clubs. The pattern has instructions for 3 different sizes (baby, lap, and queen). I’ve made several of these and back in the day when I was busy with customer quilts, I quilted several.

Next we have Galaxy:

This one uses 2 inch strips. Again, I’ve made and/or quilted a bunch of these. This one is very versatile, and different fabric choices can make it look completely different. Several years ago, the designer made one out of Cherrywood fabrics, using a dark purple as the background (instead of the light) and it was gorgeous. Instructions are for lap or queen/king (depending on border choices).

Last, but not least:

Red Hot Leftovers

I actually quilted this one. You can’t see it from the photo, but the background is full of feathers. I’ll try to dig up a closeup….

I’ve made this one completely scrappy, but I prefer the look of the scrappy reds and neutrals. I also quilted one that used red for the large stars and black for the small stars and it was gorgeous. Instructions for 2 sizes are included.

So, comment away, we’ll draw for winners on Sunday and patterns will be on their way next week.

Time to go run some errands, then back to the couch with my binding project. Why did I think it was a good idea to make this quilt so darned big???

Suzanne

edited later to add: I can’t believe I forgot to include the name of the designer! The patterns are designed by Iowa Star Designs. I believe you can still order them from http://www.iowastarquilts.com

    I just organized my stash and cut lots of 2 1/2 and 2 inch strips. I have no idea where all the fabric came from! I would love any of these patterns so I can use up some of those strips before they multiply again!

    All three of those patterns are great! Funny thing: I happen to have a lot of 2.5″ strips. Count me in!

    I’d be thrilled to win any of those patterns, but if I don’t happen to be the lucky winner, can you give me any information on where we could buy the patterns? I love all three of them!

    If I win, then I will know what to do with all the 30s strips I should get in the exchange. You know, overachiever fabriholic that I am, I sent 8 sets. lol

    I love her patterns and have made several…Just finished up the Galaxy Stars in all 30’s prints. It turned out so cute. So, I have the Galaxy Stars pattern, but I’m in for the other 2 patterns! Thanks!!

    My hat will not go into the ring, I have the patterns and i’m related to the blogger. But they really are terrific, I’ve made at least one baby quilt, using 30s fabrics of the Zigag 9. Good basic patterns excellent for scraps.

    cleaning is good! Personally I don’t do it..LOL. Thought scrap quilts are not my thing…Mary loves them…I would give them to her if I won…or you could just substitute her name for mine…..

  21. Brandy Davis says

    April 29, 2008 at 8:23 PM

    I love the red/neutral star quilt, Suzanne. The colors are beautiful together.
    It’s hard to type this note, because I’m still laughing out loud over the Parmesan incident. : )

  28. KK says

    April 30, 2008 at 5:18 AM

    Oh, I love them all. Please please draw my name! And I’m wiping up coffee from spitting it out reading about the parmesan cheese. Kids can sure keep us humble, can’t they?

    Gorgeous patterns!! I have recently taken the plunge into quilting and am interested in trying anything that seems relatively easy, and these do!! Thanks for a great blog.

  30. Diana Wilson says

    April 30, 2008 at 11:19 AM

    Wow, looks like a party here! Can I join in? I have drooled over the red hot stars pattern since you first showed it. I love scrappy quilts too!

    i love all the patterns but my favorite is the zigzag 9…awesome.

  32. Jane Monk says

    April 30, 2008 at 2:03 PM

    Well – I linked to your site after you left a lovely message on my blog about my first attempt at McTavishing – thank you. So here I am and find you have a lovely give away going. The patterns are very nice – and look quick. I would love them – I like the middle pattern and it would look georgeous with a purple background like you say. Thanks so much for offering a giveaway – good luck with the hat drawing – looks like you could give them away threefold and more. Cheers Jane in Australia x

  33. Tina Chamberlain says

    Hey Suzanne, I’m checking my blog list and find you doing a giveaway! How fun! I love the Galaxy quilt. They are all great though. Can you believe I haven’t quilted anything since March 15? So sad… We will be lucky to be in our house by May 15. 🙁

  34. Michelle B says

    April 30, 2008 at 7:51 PM

    Well they certainly are colorful patterns. The zigzag is my favorite.

  36. Vivian Love says

    May 1, 2008 at 8:12 PM

    Suzanne, Pick me! But even if you don’t, thanks for the link to the website for those patterns. I love them. And I have plenty of fabrics in my stash that I could probably make them without buying a bit more fabric! 🙂 I love the zigzag one best!

    Take care, Vivian Love

    Ahhh. Things must be warming up in Iowa?! I love the motivation that comes along with Spring. Right now I’m itching to paint the Living Room…. oh and get a new couch etc. LOL Keep up the good work with your cleaning and add me to drawing please. I love them all.
