Sew Mama Sew - Giveaway Day!!!

I'm joining in with Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day (Week) this year.


Welcome to all visitors .... new and not-so-new!!!

If you are a regular PatchAndi visitor, then you know all about YouPatch but for those of you visiting for the first time, my husband and I are launching a new website for quilters that enables you to easily create your own pixelated quilt patterns.

As well as being able to make your own pixel quilt patterns, you will be able to buy patterns created by me!!

Given the time of year, I am offering readers of this post a chance to win our new pixel quilt pattern - 'Santa'. The pattern is in PDF format and will be emailed to the winning commenter. (International entries welcome).

Santa pattern cover


The PDF pattern comes complete with fabric yardage and cutting and piecing instructions.

To win this cute Christmassy quilt pattern: just leave a comment telling me what other pre-made quilt patterns you think YouPatch should be offering.

A winner will be chosen at random on Saturday December 14th at midday (Melbourne time).

I hope you enjoyed your visit and encourage you to visit lots of new blogs this week. Who knows what you might win?

Andi xx

EDIT: This post is now closed for comments. Winners have been drawn and notified. Thanks to everyone who commented!! Andi :-)

    That's too cute, and it doesn't look too time consuming. I'm new to you, but I'm going to check you out because I've been asked to make a quilt for my sister and my idea was a pixelated quilt. To answer your question ... hmmm ... maybe a collection of flowers?

  18. Jill R.December 10, 2013 at 10:07 AM

    I think patterns with favorite kid's cartoon characters would be fun. I can see these pixelated quilts being a hit with kiddos.

  27. Material GirlDecember 10, 2013 at 2:26 PM

    I made a baby quilt that was an animal, raccoon, that was all squares like a pixelated. I think kids quilt and holidays would be the most appealing unless you are makng "Monet" quilts.

  42. Reb ThackDecember 11, 2013 at 8:53 AM

    If I think about using this cool pattern maker with my kids in mind, I'd suggest Star Wars characters, and science type items - DNA, microscope, planets, etc.

    Thanks!

    EEK - I have just discovered your blog through the SMS giveaway day. All I can say is that I am in total love.
    Probably not something that you would do - but I would love a cow face. I am making a simple square patch quilt for the lounge with just different cow prints etc and this would be stunning on the front!

    Of course you should offer other Holiday patterns like for Halloween, Memorial Day, Valentine's Day and several designs for each holiday. Some people like Christmas trees or snowmen for the Christmas season. It would be great if you include wall hanging sizes. What a great idea for a new business. Much success to your and your husband
