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! :)

Ooooh - what lovely, lovely fabrics! There was quite a long delay in reading all of your post, as I spent rather a long time over at Anne's drooling over all those beautiful patterns. Very hard to pick one (can't help it, I'm a Libran), but I think it has to be Loolipop the Lamb!!
Oh my what fun! Loved her patterns - especially Bitty Owl :-) So adorable!
Thanks so much for sharing - wonderful stuff!
SWEET SWEET GIVEAWAY!
I LOVE THAT LIL'SCOOTER THE CAT! (OH SHOOT! I LOVE THEM ALL! )
AND THE FABRICS>YUMMY!
IF I WERE TO WIN "ANYTHING" OF ANNE'S , IT'D BE FINE!
THANK YOU+ANNE SO MUCH!
HAPPY STITCHING!
My favorite is Tiny Town but I love everything from Bunny Hill!
Le Jardin is a beautiful pattern.. Love the colors she used also. Anything garden or flowers will catch my eye. It was hard to choose because there were several that I liked. Thank you. : )
I love Rabbits Prefer Chocolate! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love all those fabrics you brought home! I could live on the Lecien prints, absolutely adore the Durham Anew line. Ok, I know Anne's patterns by heart, didn't even have to go to her shop :) However, picking a favorite is a real challenge. It's either Tiny Town or Cream and Sugar...if I can only pick one, then it's Cream and Sugar. Thank you and Anne for the great giveaway!
I don't even have to look. It's Rabbits Prefer Chocolate! :-)
"Arnie" is my favorite design. I have 3 kitties of my own!
Love your new stash! You must not have had many clothes in your suitcase. I really love all of Anne's patterns, especially all of the baby things! If I could pick one to sit down and make tonight, it would be Petit Fours and next would be Sugar Bunnies. Thanks for my daily escape at work to your blog!!!
Me gustan todos...........de los mas elaborados el Baltimore Bunnies PRECIOSO

The Arnie quilt pattern is my fav - love cats and cat quilts. Thanks for the great giveaway.
My favorite pattern right now is the new snowman BOM...I love them driving the vintage truck! Very, very cute.
Hey, do you know when the Le Mercerie fabric will be released? I didn't see a date on Lecien's website. ;0
Baby bear and Lillipop the lamb are my favorites at the moment. I love your blog, I look forward to reading it very evening. You are so talented.
yoyo ville is by far my favorite! it's so pretty...and would be SO pretty done in some lecien flower sugar...hmmm...
I found your blog via pinterest because of that crazy gorgeous Lecien La Petite Mercerie! And then I saw you link to me! WHAT! Thank you so so so much! Totally made my day! I'm now going to spend the rest of the day reading your blog :):):) Scooter Pie the Cat is my favorite!
What a wonderful giveaway. I love the pattern from Bunny Hill so much. My favorit will be merry, merry snowman. I signed up for it and I am looking forward to start sewing it.
I am a huge fan of Anne Sutton work . My all time Favorite pattern is "Rabbits Prefer Chocolate". This is a great pattern with a Red Work embroidery version too.
Rabbits Forever!!!
I haven't heard of Bunny Hill before and oh my do they have adorable stuff! Love the bitty owl, laundry bags, bitty dog pincushion, and bitsy button and friends quilt. I couldn't choose just one. :)
A pillow party for spring or maybe The French rabbit or maybe the rabbits prefer chocolate? Oooooooo it's hard I like all her rabbit patterns no fair to pick one .great give away tho good luck to all involved . Great post
Hugs from over sea's

Wow, what a gorgeous haul you brought home and oh my gosh how that "Durham Anew" calls to me **heavy sigh here**.
It is so hard to pick a favorite from so many wonderful patterns by Anne, and applique is hard for me due to issues with my hands, but I still plug away at it, so I have to pick 'Tiny Town' as my favorite and I'm betting it could easily be converted to a stitchery pattern. I don't have as many problems doing stitched blocks. Allie the Scottie Dog is a close second for me because I used to have two Scottie mix dogs in my life and they were so lovable and fun! Besides, I may be in my 60s but I still adore stuffed animals, so that pink Henrietta has stolen my heart. Thanks so much for sharing pictures of you 'bounty of beauty' from Market, I can't wait to see what you make with all that treasure. Thanks so much for a great giveaway. Hugs... :o)
I love, love, love that little Scottie Dog! My daughter is in highland dancing, and she would love her own little doggie. I also checked out Anne's shop, and I really like her Dream a Pretty Dream pattern for the nursery. Thanks for the chance to win.
I've always just loved Anne 's Rabbits Prefer Chocolate pattern! I enjoy making molded chocolate and have a few of the old bunny molds that are just wonderful. I've got her Rabbits Prefer Chocolate pattern on my Quilt To-Do list.
Oops! I forgot to ask Kristyne if you know where I could get a copy of Yoko Saito's book - I just love her work, too!
Just fabulous! Love Henrietta!!! She is my favorite! And love your blog! Nice work!
I love Bunny Hill!
I have made Rabbits Prefer Chocolate (PS I won Honorable Mention in a Quilt Show *gasp!), Catch A Christmas Star, A Tisket A Taskat, and I'm currently completing Autumn House and Henrietta Whiskers and Yo-Yo Ville!
I also have the pattern for Bitty Squirrel pincushion!
My favorite is Rabbits Prefer Chocolate but I am thinking I need to buy Baltimore Bunnies and that could be in the hopping for my all time Favorite!
....don't get me started on Anne's fabric! Love it, own it, squirrel it away, pretty!
Thanks for letting me "chatter" about my obsession with Bunny Hill!
I've been making yoyos hoping to do Yoyoville sometime soon. I love the Peace on Earth Angel and would love to find time to make a pillow for this Christmas.
Thanks for the chance!

I'm a big fan of Irish chain quilts, so I have to go with Confetti as my favorite pattern, but I just love Henrietta.
My favorite pattern is all of them! If I had to pick one today though, it would be Simply Cottage! :o)
i really like Autumn House...just gorgeous.
Envious of all your gorgeous fabric purchaes. I love the Scooter Pie cat pattern the most.
Baltimore Bunnies is SO adorable, Hopscotch Baby in its simplicity is my fave for babies, and it's a toss-up between Autumn House, Pumpkin Hill, and Raining Cats and Dogs for really cute block-of-the-month designs. And I've got to include Charlotte's Cottage, which you can find on Anne's "Sale" page. I know that's not just one favorite, but how do you narrow it down when she has so many great patterns?!
Oh, so CUTE!! I love them all! Sugar Babies is, I think, my favourite of the patterns.
I love Tiny Town! I love quilts with little buildings, and this design is especially sweet. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!
Wow love all your gorgeous fabric purchases. Yum. I love Scooter Pie but then i also love Snickerdoodles. Thanks for the chance to won.
Love your Market pics! Le Jardin has been a favorite for a while - it reminds me of spring and I love the bunny.
I like confetti. it is very pretty and thank you for the giveaway.
I love all her patterns, but really think I need to make The Night Before Christmas at some stage!!
You sure came home with some great fabric! I love Anne's patterns and I have my eye on Strawberry Hill !
I love everything Anne! If the patterns your asking about include ALL of her patterns,, "Baltimore Bunnies" is my favorite. If your talking about the little stuffed animal patterns, then "Snickerdoodles" is my favorite.
And, I love the new Durham Annew collection
I absolutely love Bunny Hill and all of Anne's goodies. My all time favorite pattern is Raining Cats and Dogs. I have plans of working on it during our long northeast winter. Thanks to Anne Suttons blog, I found your blog and everything you post is right up my alley. I look forward to all your new posts
I just loved all of Annie's quilts and projects but with a new grandbaby coming soon and needing to try something new, I like Park Lane.
Kristyne, love your blog too. It is my first visit but will come back.
HI! I love all of Annie's patterns, but I have fallen in love with "Tulips for Beginners." Why? Well, I am rather new to quilting and I have yet to do an applique quilt. I was looking for one that seemed easy enough for me, but also one that I could change up a bit and make into a baby quilt. That one seemed to fit the bill! I can't wait to start it. I would love to win the little squirrel, but the patterns are also darling. Oh well! Fingers crossed! Thanks!
I LOVE her Bitsy Buttons & Friends pattern as well as any of her patterns with a scotty dog on it! :)
Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh, what lovely fabrics that followed you home. And that book, oh my...
What caught my eye: Arnie! A kitty cat! So sweet.
Thanks for a wonderful chance at a fantastic giveaway.
I cannot wait to see what you will create with all that fabric. :D
WOW love the fabric you brought home.MMmmm if I have to choose just one I'd go for the night before Christmas as I just love everything christmas :) Barb.
You certainly gave us a tough choice to make! All the bunny hill patterns are adorable. First, I chose "Arnie" because I am a huge cat lover and still have never made a cat quilt. But maybe it's due to the snow that fell this morning up here in northern Alberta, because then I thought the "Merry Merry Snowmen" was my favorite. I've just purchased some of Lecien's Scandinavian Christmas fabric and this would be a perfect pattern for it! So, today Merry Merry Snowmen is my favorite! What fun you must have had when unpacking all that beautiful fabric - I can imagine a big grin on your face!
I recently fell in love with Pumpkin Pie. I just love those Crows. I would be over the moon if I were to win any of the petite patterns. Thanks for the opportunity. Your blog is lovely.
I'm an Anne Sutton fan! Finished her Autumn Houses a couple of years ago. I absolutely love it. But I can't pick just one of her patterns. Rabbits prefer Chocolate, Autumn Market, Baltimore Bunnies are all on my "to do" list. My fingers are crossed. Grandbaby #12 is on the way, so your fabulous giveaway sure would be timely. Have LOVED your market posts.
