Quilt Market - Giveaway
November 10, 2011 This was me at the airport waiting for the scale to tell me how much my suitcase weighed, "Oh pleeeeeease, please please please PLEASE be under 50 lbs!" Whew! Just barely made it. :)
I'm really happy with all the pretty fabric I brought home. My creative wheels are turning and I'm dying to start cutting & sewing.
"La Petite Mercerie" by Lecien - LOVE notion prints!
"Woodland" by Lecien. So adorable. I know I'll be making lots of gifts for my daughters' friends as birthday gifts & such.
Died and went to heaven with Lecien's "Durham Anew" line.
Moda's "California Girls". Couldn't resist those blues!
So yummy "Athill" by Moda
But my absolute favorite find was, of course, Yoko Saito's book. I'm considering putting it in a safety deposit box. ;)
Ok. Now for some fun for you.
I met one of the nicest people on the planet at Quilt Market - Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs.
And she generously sent me home with some goodies to give away here to a few lovely Pretty by Hand readers. (Thank you Anne!) Not one, not two, but SIX patterns for her adorable little soft creatures.
1. Allie the Scottie Dog
2. Baby Bear
3. Henrietta the Squirrel
4. Lollipop the Lamb
5. Scooter Pie the Cat
6. Snickerdoodles the Bunny
7. AND an ACTUAL finished Henrietta made from Anne's fabric.
(And the limbs are hinged so they move!)
But wait.
There's MORE!
Just to sweeten the deal, I'm sure I can find a pretty fat quarter - or two - from my stash to go with each prize. (Need to make room for all the aforementioned bundles ...)
So. If you would like to enter this giveaway to win ONE of these 6 patterns + FQs or the sweet squirrel + FQs (so 7 winners in total), please go to Anne's shop, take a look at her patterns, come back here and leave a comment telling me which of her designs is your favorite.
Winners will be selected at random. The first name drawn will win the Allie pattern & a FQ, winner #2 will receive the Baby Bear pattern & a FQ, etc. following the list above.
Comments will close Sunday Nov 13th at 6:00 pm PST (West coast of North America). I will announce the winners on Monday Nov 14th. Please be sure to leave me your email (only I can read it) so I can reach you if you win.
Good luck everyone! :)

What a great giveaway! My favorite patter is 'raining cats & dogs' because I love cats (especially my two;-) So, could you please draw my name as number 5? I'd love the scotter pie pattern. BTW beautiful fabric, california girl is defintly on my list (yep, the blues).

Your fabric is to die for, oh my gosh!!! I love what you got. Okay, Anne's patterns are all incredible. And I have never appliqued anything in my life (sad I know) and I secretly have always wanted to. I would choose Tiny Town as my favorite, I saw it hanging in a quilt shop and fell in love with it.
I really love "The night before Christmas". I always enjoy everything you post about!!!
That's easy. It's Autumn House. But I've never done applique, so my next in line is Dollys Garden. I love Anne's patterns. The colors she chooses just speak to me :-)
I love all the patterns they are soooo CHIC !! But... I do have a favorite "Yoyoville" how sweet is that? Your blog is a real inspiration.Thanks!
Oh my what a shopping spree you had!!! :)
Had a wee look in the shop and picking one pattern from so many gorgeous ones was a bit difficult. I do love all the patterns though that feature a bunny rabbit, there that narrowed it a bit. ;)

What a hard decision--I love all of the Bunny Hill patterns. My first choice is Snickerdoodles. I have a fondness for bunnies and I guess it goes back to my childhood when I had two albino bunnies named Flopsy and Mopsy. I also like baby bear as I have been collecting bears for years. I love all of your fabric choices and I think I will have to go in search of Woodland. What a great fabric to make some goodies for my granddaughter and, maybe, for me. Thanks for a very enjoyable blog.
I love the Bitty Dog pincushion! Oh, and the Durham Anew fabric looks gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway!
I really love her patterns! But I think that the bunny stuffed animal (Snickerdoodles the Bunny) is my favorite! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
I love Night at the Ritz because it looks really fresh. The squirell cracks me up...we had squirells get in our attic two Christmas' ago. Oh my gosh...there were 8 of them!
Thanks for all the great pics from Market! I was able to go to Minneapolis a few years ago when they had it there. It was so awesome! I would love to go again someday. Quilters heaven!
I love all your bundles - especially the Lecien notions! I would have to say my favorite pattern is the Sweet Dreams Lily quilt followed by these cute critters - Lollipop sheep is adorable. They would all look great in our nursery.
I've been a fan of Anne Sutton patterns for a long time and have made several of her quilts. I would be very hard pressed to name a favorite, but Henrietta the squirrel is just too cute to pass up. My little granddaughters would be enchanted! Thanks for the giveaway!
Just loverly!!! Still dreaming about Durham Anew with its florals and ginghams! Love all of Anne's patterns, but my favorites are the Carry Me Bag (for my knitting projects) and little Allie the scotty dog (for my new adorable nephew)! Thank you, thank you for a great giveaway!!! :)
Wow you ended up with a lot of goodies!
OMG you did good !!!! I am soooo anxouse to get some california girl & woodland !!!!
Loving durham anew as well and the athill , I hadn't seen yet !!!! As for Anne Sutton and bunny hill.......sigh :)!!!!!!! I am a HUGE fan !!!! I just got the postcard cuties - winter pattern.......I have a thing for snowmen :) Soooo I think that my next favorite at the moment would be "snowman country " Love love love !!!! I have a problem right :(
Anyhoo, Yeah you !!!! and thanks so much for sharing a little bit of your market visit !!!!!
I love all the patterns, but I think I am most partial to the ones that have bunnies in them! My daughter was born this year (the year of the rabbit!) and I am in bunny love. :-) Thank you for the giveaway!
Awesome giveaway! I like the Carry Me Bag...might have to just get that one! Market looks like so much fun. Love the fabric you got.
Thank you for such a sweet little give a way. :o)
My favorite pattern is "tiny town".
Have a wonderful day. Sincerely, Trish
Ooh, such cute little soft toys! I love the Scooter Pie kitty pattern, but I am very partial to scotty dogs too, so I would have to say my favourite quilt pattern is the "Bitsy Button and Friends" :)
I love the "Sugar & Spice" pattern - then again, I have 2 little daughters, so my eye is always drawn to the super sweet & girly!
I love Anne's work and fabrics! Great giveaway! I'd have to pick Sugar and Spice as it would be so sweet for our new daughter, due March 17 =)
With two very lovable cats at home, I couldn't pass by the first pattern called "Arnie". I love it. Also love those sweet little softies, especially "Henrietta". She is so cute. Market looks like so much fun. Thanks for sharing this wonderful giveaway.
I have to say that Snikerdoodles is my favorite. Lots of Bunny (and Bunny Hill) love from me.
My sister is totally addicted to squirrels. We call her house the Nut House and mine the Acorn Annex! That would be so much fun!!!!
Tiny Town has to be my favorite, although it really is hard to choose. Love these little animals! So very cute.
Ooh I love all the fabrics you got! My favorite bunny hill design would be dolley's garden. Thanks for the chance to win!
How can anyone resist Henrietta the Squirrel! She looks just like the chubby squirrels in our back yard!
Oh sure. Just go and post that Cabbages and Roses fabric that I didn't get. Now I might have to order it. You're a VERY bad influence!!! (Don't enter me for the giveaway -- but thanks for a fun post about all your goodies!!!)
Wowza, you had so much fun that I'm drooling!!! Well, I love the Snowbound quilt by Bunny Hill the most, without a doubt. Except for all those cute creature pincushion patterns, which are darling. Thanks for the chance to win one! Seven someones are going to be lucky follks.
Cabins and Cottages, a Cabin at the Beach. Beautiful! Would be fabulous in any beach home.
thanks for the link to Anne's shop-I love the peacefulness of it.
bitty owl is so fun and I will be back to her shop to get the jelly bag pattern-use up some of my jelly roll strips in a new way.
I don't even need to look at Anne's website--I LOVE Merry, Merry Snowmen and Rabbits Prefer Chocolate!!! I love your goodies from Market and can't wait to see what you make with them. Thanks for the fun giveaway.
Envyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ... I love your fabrics choice .... ALL FABRICS !!!!
My fave pattern of Anne .... "Cabins & Cottages"
Hugs
So many to choose from - but I think that Merry Merry Snowmen would be at the top of my list.
Love the pictures of your new fabric stash especially La Petite Mercerie.
Love, love, love all your goodies!!!!
That's a difficult question to answer---my favorite Bunny Hill pattern. For a couple of years, I loved Autumn House (I bought that recently), then she came out with Raining Cats & Dogs (I also love cats & dogs, so I bought that one too), now my latest love is Pumpkin Pie. I'm not much of an orange fan, but those pumpkins are so adorable and I do love the variety of the orange pumpkin fabric. I've also followed her BOTMs for the last few years--all are way too cute.

I love all her patterns, but Le Jardin is a favorite!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love both the squirrel and the scottie dog so either would be a delight.
I just love Henrietta Whiskers working on that one now, Anne is super talented and these animals come to life for me, they definitely have personality :) I name all my little outdoor animals too. What a wonderful giveaway, you gals are just sooo sweet :)
What a great give away. I have to say my favorite pattern is ''A vintage Christmas''. When I bought that it was either that or '' Le Jardin'' which I love too. Actually I think I love all the patterns and the fabric is adorable too, lol.

I love the Merry Merry Snowmen! Fan4may at aol dot com
First of all, I am thrilled to have 'found' your site thru Bunny Hill - this looks like it's going to be just too much fun to see what's what here!!! Can't wait to poke around a bit!
Picking a favorite pattern from Anne Sutton is sort of like picking your favorite child (impossible), but I do love, love, love one of her new design "Pumpkin Pie" - probably because Halloween is my birthday - so you see the connection!
Thank you for the chance to win such a wonderful give-away.
(I think we are all a bit jealous that you've been able to meet Anne in person - I just bet she is awesome.)
Now. . . I'm going to investigate your beautiful site. thanks!
Oh my. How does one pick a favorite pattern from all of those! Love Lollipop the Lamb, love every one of the bags, love the Postcard Cuties for Winter, love Tiny Town, love Autumn House, and on and on and on! And love your fabric treasures! You picked winners, that's for sure!
Those little patterns are just darling. I have had my eye on "The Night Before Christmas" Every time I see it I fall in love all over again.
I love all of Anne's patterns but if iI had to choose.......it would be between bunnies prefer chocolateamd pumpkin hill!!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win :) Nurse Payne
I really love all the patterns, but if I had to choose I guess it would be Snickerdoodles. Love Allie and the Baby Bear too. Congrats on all your Houston goodies! You did well~
My favorite is Snowbound. I have always loved snowmen!!
I love all her patterns, but my favorite is still Baltimore Bunnies!
I am so jealous of all the beautiful fabric you got at market. But since you are sharing I will not hold it against you for being so lucky. I would love to make one of Anne's critters. My favorite pattern from Bunny Hill is the Baltimore Bunnies. I have the kit but have not been brave enough to start it. Maybe if I win the Bunny it will get me started on the quilt.
What an awesome giveaway, thank you. It's hard to pick a favorite of Anne's patterns. She really has some wonderful things. However I have long had my eye on Yoyoville (though I like to say it like YO!-YO! ville) :)
