This Giveaway is now CLOSED!
I'll post the winners tomorrow night as it is after midnight now so I'm off to bed!
So....... (drum roll please), It gives me great pleasure to declare that the Purple Paisley Patch contribution to Katy's Great International Stash Busting Giveaway is now up for grabs!
This giveaway will be open until midnight on 6 February, so that should give everyone enough time to get an entry in.
The fabric below is up for grabs, together with what other odds and ends I find to add to the parcel.
To enter, just comment on this post, but make it interesting for me by telling me something about yourself. Tell me anything you like, it might be your favourite quilt block, favourite fabric designer, favourite colour, how many and what type of pets you have, favourite book, favourite movie, something about yourself that you think is interesting - whatever you like! Please make sure I can get in touch with you if you are the lucky winner.
When the clock strikes midnight on 5 February the Giveaway will be closed and I will draw a winner when I crawl out of bed on 6 February. I'm hoping to do this using the random number generator thingy that I've heard about, but failing that, numbers will go in a hat (or some sort of container) and I will referee a fight between my two children to see who gets to draw the number out. Of course, then I will have to have another giveaway in the near future so the other child gets to draw a number out of the hat. Not that they are at all competitive!!!! LOL
All right, enough of my rambling, it is almost midnight! Don't forget to go to Katy's blog to see who else is taking part in the Giveaway.
GOOD LUCK!

Oh goodness! Those are beautiful patterns! I would love to win!
I just recently began sewing in the last couple of months and I am TOTALLY addicted. I crave it! ha!
Thanks

what beautiful patterns. LOVE them, so count me in for the giveaway (I'm sure that is really greedy of me, especially as it was my idea in the first place, I should probably sit out, right? No chance!)
Hmm. Something about me. Um. I'm a really dull person, aren't I? ha ha. Ok, I only got into quilting last year, through a friend of mine and I am addicted. I have so much I want to learn, and to try. My favourite block has to be pinwheels - I love them, really love them.
I love your fabric. Please enter me in your giveaway. I'm from Ontario, Canada. I just started quilting last August and I have made 3 quilts and have 3 quilts in progress. So you can see I'm addicted. I love to make scrap quilts. Mixing fabrics is my favorite.
Oh my giddy aunt, what gorgeous yellows and blues!! I would love to sign up for your giveaway. :D Will post the comment and then add you to my feed list......
Sheesh, I forgot to leave the piece of info about myself. I am an expat Aussie in Singapore who should sleep more and actually execute all the quilts I plan. The more sleep part would help with my brain being off in lala land at the moment.....
I love the fabric. I just started sewing since November and have become addicted. My favorite color is purple, movie Harold and Maude, book Animal Farm.
Thanks
Shean
Hi! thanks for visiting my blog. I am too impatient to make quilts but I like making little stuff, like change purses, coasters, dolls, etc. Enter me! Thx.
Hi. I love your blog - so colorful. And I especially like the penguin bag! Thanks for entering me in the stash giveaway.

Hello: I love your giveaway fabrics, they are really cute. So please count me for your giveaway. I'll be posting tomorrow, the 4th here in US. this is my third year quilting, and I'm working in a wagon wheel quilt at the moment, and I'm loving it. Pinwheels are also fun, I enjoy making them as well as rose buds. I hope to see you tomorrow...
well, there's really not much interesting with me...ok, I LOVE the color yellow (which I noticed you have some there...) I love to craft, some sewing (little things I can finish in a day, like bags & softees...)I am a hula teacher & my first & most important job is a stay at home mom...wow, I guess babbling is a gift for me as well :) I would love to be in your giveaway & thanks for letting me babble a bit! Happy blogging!
I love the colours! Thanks for sharing...I've started quilting a year ago, and am so hooked! If only I could quilt all day and there were no blogs to read and get caught up in!

Great fabrics! This is so fun..."Out with the old, in with the new"...stash-busting, what a nice concept for a bloggy swap. Count me in, and come by and join my giveaway.
Hey there fellow Brisbanite! Love your giveaway, very pretty! It's hard to pick something interesting about myself... how about I absolutely love chenille. I have been known to have dreams about chenille, just floating around. Very strange, I know! Check out my giveaway package.

Yessiree, I'm in! Goodness, who would have thought giving fabric away could be so much fun! I'm doing it too. Can't wait to see if i win something - ooh, and great blog, by the way :o)

Those lovely fabrics would be nice a quilt I think.
About me... I only have 7 weeks until my new baby arrives and I am terrified as I have a very active toddler about to turn 2. He is a good boy really but I am worried he will not like having to share me.
Count me in!
While you are dying of heat in Australia I am freezing my tail of in Alaska! which is worse?
Hey Kelly
Lovely fabrics, very useful for doll clothes which I am in the middle of making. My youngest of 2 asked me to help make some clothes for a doll for her cousin. That means I will do the sewing when she picks the patterns.
Another interesting fact is today is my 44th birthday.

Love the choices. Are you including us USA residents in your giveaway? I have just finished getting together washable suiting in plaids and pinstripes plus bright washable brocades and will be starting a quilt combining the two. I love color and texture!

Hm....something interesting.... This happened when I was about 8mth pregnanted with my girl. One day, I was working on the table as usual when I felt a sudden jerk on my tummy and was virtually pushed away from the table. I guessed I must have pressed my big tummy too hard against the table :P
Up until now I have been a glue gun and velcro kind of sewer! I am trying (sometimes with dire consequences) to learn to sew on my own. I would love to actually have some pretty fabric to bleed on...

Hi. I am mom to five wonderful adults - two are married and I have no grandchildren yet. I have spent the past 10 years going to school and now I have 2 diplomas, a BA and a masters. My time is now my own to do what I want and I want to quilt and sew. I would love to win your fabric. Just what I need to get going on a creative project. A quilt, a bag, some fabric collage... The possibilities are endless.
Thank you, Dolores

Those are wonderful fabrics. I'm from Ontario, Canada. We share our home with two large kitties, Lester and Smudge.
Pretty fabrics. About myself?...my favorite color is yellow. The most exciting thing about me is that I'm about to become a grandmother for the first time. I'm so happy.
Oooh, lovely coordinates! I will tell you a little random fact about my sewing habits: I have never kept a quilt that I have made. :) I am working right now on the very first quilt that is FOR ME!!
Sweet, count me in! :) My name is Karen, I'm from beautiful Newfoundland & Labrador (though not so beautiful in the winter, haha), and I love to create. I love to sew, embroider, paint, anything that keeps my hands busy. I am earning my BA through university correspondence/online and plan to be a primary/elementary school teacher. :)
I just started sewing at 48! I'm loving learing to make so many things. I'm working on my first quilt. I want to make quilts to leave for my family just like my grandmother did!

Lovely fabrics! About me: I feel ashamed that I've been quilting for years and have yet to finish one truly honest-to-goodness done quilt. I'm getting closer, though! And they're all HUGE and hand-quilted, so that's not all bad, right? RIGHT?
oh such pretty patterns.
I just started enjoying sewing and this inspires me to continue.
I hope I win. :)
So beautiful - I love it. Crossing my fingers...
I've only been sewing for about 9 months, and one of my resolutions this year is to make my first quilt!
All of the fabric goodness is starting to make my head spin a little!
Pick me! I love the fabric!
I am in Michigan, I have 3 Yorkies, Bailey, Nuala, and Cookie. Also three children Steph, John, and Kim. Kim is 19 and wants to make a quilt. If I am lucky she may get a start!

Oh, wow. Something interesting. I'm pretty boring anymore, but I do have braces on my teeth. (And I'm 33, so it's a little unusual.)
Please count me in!
And about me...I treat my cats as if they were human and can't resist chocolate. :-)
Oh, yummy yummy fabric!! Thanks for giving international people a chance :-)
If you want to know something interesting about myself, I will tell you that I'm from Barcelona, but that I studied English language and literature at university. Actually, David Malouf (Australian) is one of my favorite writers, along with Toni Morrison and Alessandro Baricco (I would recommend "Sula" by Morrison and "Silk" by Baricco to EVERYONE ON EARTH!!). I also read some other Australian literature... I really liked a book by Alexis Wright called "Plains of Promise". I'll have to check if she has other novels, because I think this was pretty much her first one...
Anyway. Am I talking too much? Well... you shouldn't have asked!
Thanks again for counting me in!
