It's day 3 of my blog already and it's time for a giveaway, don't you think? Plus, I'd like to introduce my online store, Possum Blossom Patchwork.
I make die-cut paper pieces for English paper piecing. You know, hexagons, triangles, diamonds and the like. I make them from paper, card, freezer paper, whatever you like. Die-cut paper pieces are a cost-effective and time-saving option.
I also have an electronic cutter which allows me to custom-make any shape in any size, so if you don't see what you need in my store, just email me and ask.
I'm located in Sydney, Australia but international orders are no problem at all. If you prefer to order through Ebay or Etsy, I can handle that too.
That's enough about me, let's get to the giveaway. I'm not exactly sure if there's a right way to do this so I'm going to keep it simple.
Basically, each night for the next 10 nights starting tomorrow night (28/07/11 Sydney time) I'll draw a name. Each winner can select any two packs of die-cut or e-cut paper pieces or card pieces from my store (100 pieces per pack, you choose the shape/size). Open to everyone including international. Free shipping included.
1. Visit my online store and have a look around.
2. Post a comment on this blog saying which two shapes/sizes you'd like to win (either a pack each of 2 items, or 2 packs of one item).
3. For an additional entry, post a separate comment telling me which shape/size you'd like me to make and add to my store. (Be creative! Set me a challenge!)
4. And if you want to follow my blog, mention that too for a third entry.
Names/comments will be placed in a box and one will be drawn at random each night. Non-winning names will remain in the box until the end of the giveaway, so if you write a comment before the first draw that means you'll get 10 chances to win. Or 20 chances. Or 30 chances.
Oh, and remember to tell me how to contact you. If I can't contact you, I'll draw another name at the end of the giveaway.
Good luck!
P.S. Is there anything I've forgotten to mention? If so, email me.

Welcome to blogland Joanne! I have been lucky to receive your hexie papers in the hexie swap. It's great that you make them in freezer paper too, hadn't seen that before. If I had to chose papers, would have to be hexies, but I wouldn't mind trying triangles?
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion for another shape would be dresden plate wedges> I don't think I saw them on your site.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, I really like the paper hexie shapes, I think they are 1"? Very handy for the hexie flower swap:) I thought I would like the card better but I found that I liked the paper ones.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new blog- here's to many posts and lots of fun. Hugs, Sandy.
Of course, I have to be one of your followers!!!:0)
ReplyDeleteJust visited your site. I think I'd like half hexies and triangles
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure about curved templates, Joanne, would something like drunkards path or winding ways work as a paper pieced design? Otherwise, apple core or tumbler?
ReplyDeleteI already loooove your store - as you know hehe and as always would love two packs of the half inch hexies :)
ReplyDeletei am a follower :)
ReplyDeletei would LOOOOOVE to see both octagons (smallish ones and chubby dresdens - they look like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/47557085@N00/5621371554/in/faves-dreamfctry/ i would definitely stock right up on those two because they are just soooo hard to find!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to contact me but just in case, you can contact me through my blog...www.dreamfctry.blogspot.com
I feel so slack! Nearly two years of blogging and no giveaway and here you are at 3 posts!!
ReplyDeleteNow what shapes would I like?
1/2" hexagons! I made a few of those the other week and I love that size
and then I'd probably say triangles because I want to have a play with triangles and hexagons (already got some 1" hexagon papers).
Hi Bek, nice to hear from you. What a coincidence, I just started making 1" and 2" octagons last week! I just haven't put the ads on the website yet. And I can custom-make dresdens when you need them.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could paper piece a tessellated jigsaw puzzle type piece....
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower too!
ReplyDeleteI'd like 2 packs of the 1" hexagons as I think I'd like to try hexagon flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Robyn
Of course I'd like to be in this giveaway!! I'd probably go with the usual hexis as I seem to use them all the time!!
ReplyDeleteAnd octagons would be good, I have another project on the go using them. They go with really small squares - do you have them as well?
ReplyDeleteI've also tried to follow your blog but it just gives me a page of text so will keep trying (but you know I've been following you for years anyway!! LOL)
I would like the 1" hexagons as I would like to try the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.
ReplyDeleteHi, Joanne! Wow! I wish I knew about your freezer paper hexies befor I cut out about 200 of them ... By hand!
ReplyDeleteI would love some clamshell freezer paper templates. Especially if I don't have to cut them myself!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I am a follower!
Thanks for the giveaway,
Take care, Leslie
Hi! If I won, I'd appreciate the 1 inch diamonds and triangles to try something new!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway,
Take care, Leslie
Hi!
ReplyDeleteHow about thinking about clamshells and a wavy diamond shape to go between the clamshells if they were laid on the sides, curves looking at each other!
There is a pattern out there, I'll forward it to you later...
Thanks for the givewaway!
Take care, Leslie
I already have some of your hexi papers for the hexi flower swap! I would get some diamonds for sure!
ReplyDeleteI would go for some apple core shapes if you made them!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower too!
ReplyDeletePaper pieces, what a great idea,
ReplyDeleteNo more cutting and cutting and still not having quilt the right shape.size
I really like the long hexgons and the 60 triangles
I would love to win 2 packs of the 1" hexagons. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see some tumblers :)
ReplyDeleteI am a happy follower :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea. If I'd known abut this before I started some English piecing perhaps my templates wouldn't have been wonky! I'd go for the 1inch and 2inch hexagons I think.
ReplyDeleteCool! I would choose 1 pack of 1" hexagons and 1 pack of 1.5" diamonds.
ReplyDeleteHow about adding 3/4" hexies?
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and love your hexies!! I would like the two smallest size hexies or diamonds. Your hexies are amazing :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I checked out your flickr photos and am amazed at all the sketching you're doing. Are all your hexies EPP and hand stitched? It looks like your seams are pressed open. Any hints you can provide would be great. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDecisions, decisions....I think I would choose diamonds and maybe the triangles.. :)
ReplyDeleteI've recently gone hexie crazy so I'd choose the 1.5" hexies and 1.5" triangles.
ReplyDeleteWhat about doing apple cores?
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower now :) I'm really glad I found your blog through the Flickr group
ReplyDeleteJoanne--Welcome to blog land. thank you for your generosity in having a giveaway plus how you helped us all out(on the forum) when we started the hexis.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower
ReplyDeleteI would like to suggest dresden plate,I picked some up at a craft fair and have not seen any since.Also hearts.
ReplyDeleteI could do with some hexis and triangles 1"
I would like two packs of the 1 inch paper hexie papers. I go through them at a great rate. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower.
ReplyDeleteYou have many choices in your store, but how about bigger hexagons, 3 inch and 4 inch.
ReplyDeleteOh I love you!! I'm a newbie to the world of quilting and so badly want to make hexies but all. that. cutting. I'd have 2x 1" hexagons!
ReplyDeleteI would love a pack of the 1 1/2 inch hexagons and a pack of 1 inch hexagons! Good luck with your new blog!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower of your blog!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I could think of is maybe more hexagons. You already have quite a variety...you could see what new trends appear on the quilt blogs, and then add more.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if these would even work (again, newbie!) but what about stars?
ReplyDeleteOh, and am following you now too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not too bright - I never considered have hexies! That's what I want to win!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and your shop! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteMy ideas...
Crescents? Hearts? Ovals? Circles? Trapezoids? Christmas Trees?
I'm a follower. Congrats on the new blog.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blog land. I would love 2inch hexi's.

ReplyDeleteHow about apple cores? That's something I've been wanting to try.

ReplyDeleteI'd say the 1/2" hexes and either 1", 1 1/2" or 2" hexes.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Hi Joanne, just blogged about you - http://quiltjane.blogspot.com/2011/07/lucky-find.html
ReplyDeleteI would like to see jewel shape dies in your shop. You match them with hexies to make a star shape.
Following you! (Karyn)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried paper piecing. So, this will be a first for me. I think I would like to try something a bit bigger than I've noticed above because it seems as if it would be easier. Therefore, I choose the 2 inch half hexagon and the 2 inch hexagon. Thank you for having such a nice giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteOne inch hexies!
ReplyDeleteI am printing the 1 inch hexies in a paper and cut it by my own.. I would love to win 2 packs of the 1 inch hexies :D more easier :D

I also think 3/4" hexies would be a nice addition.
ReplyDeleteThanks

I would probably get the diamonds but I would need to verify if they are right for lone stars. I need the trapezoid type I think. I am having a love affair with Lone stars right now.
ReplyDeleteWhy, add 8 point (trapezoid) diamonds if you don't have them. ( I am new to EPP and am still trying to figure out the whole correct diamond to use thing.) Then next you need to add dresdens.
ReplyDeleteI am very very happy to have found your blog and next week I will be blogging about you. How about that? :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome Joanne to the wonderful world of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI would love some triangles and diamonds in either the 1.5 or 2in sizes if I was lucky enough to win. Thankyou for the opportunity, not only to enter this fabulous giveaway, but also to get the opportunity to meet you!
I am an excited follower.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blog land Joanne. I have never done paper piecing so would love to win some and see if I like it. Hexagons would be my first choice maybe the 2" to get me started, the 1" ones worry me LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower
ReplyDeleteHello Joanne -- I read about your blog in a QuiltJane posting. The hexagons pictures were so gorgeous, I can't wait to try! Thanks for the chance --
ReplyDeleteI am already addicted to hexagon and long hecagons
ReplyDeleteGina
my suggestion is for new shapes of dresden and variations of,
ReplyDeletegina
i am your new happy follower
ReplyDeletegina
I would use the 1 inch triangle and the half hexagon shape to make a spiders web effect.
ReplyDeletewhat about clamshell and circles
ReplyDeleteI am now a follower of your blog. Love the fussy cut hexies at the end
ReplyDeleteI like the Arched hexagon - it reminds me of a cup cake, and 2" hexagons...not brave enough to try the 1" ....yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm a flower....oops follower!
ReplyDeleteChubby dresden for me too - it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting EPP - I'd choose the long hexagons and the equilateral triangles
ReplyDeleteHow about tumblers/dresden plate spokes?
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteGill, you just scraped in! I'm putting the names in the box right now.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your shop, how did you come up with the name Possum Blossom? I've never tried diamonds and long hexagons, they look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new Follower, neat that you've got so many so soon. I think you hit on a popular past time.
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time choosing from all the templates. I think I'd pick the 2" diamonds - I've always wanted to make a lone star or Bethlehem star quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. I was sent here by Samelia's Mum. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you Joanne, on your new blog. Quilt Jane sent me, I'm a new follower. What a nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHow do you think arcs and the pieces for double wedding ring quilts would go for paper piecing?
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of paper piecing choices. Hexigons would be my choice, 1 inch per side.(is that how you measure them?) Glad I found you blog, I seam to be a Hexi-holic, lately. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI think clamshell or applecore. Thanks again for the wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCool Giveaway Idea! Wish I had seen it earlier...
ReplyDeleteI like the hexagons and diamonds.
Thanks for the chance to win!

great giveaway! i'd choose 1/2 and 1 inch hexagons.
ReplyDeletethanks!
As far as an idea for something to add, I would suggest you add combination packs. It would be easy to do, you already have the shapes and sizes you have, adding the ability for a customer to choose a half pack (50 pcs) of one shape and a half pack (50 pcs) of another. You could call them "Sampler Packs".
ReplyDeleteAgain, Thanks for the chance to win!

ReplyDeleteI would love to win the 2" Equilateral triangle and the 1 1/2" diamond.. how cool is this!!
ReplyDeleteI am following your blog.. so glad I found it!
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you added Dresden Plate. Those wedges are SO difficult to get just right.. So hard.. Also Wedding Ring.. That is a lot of different pieces, but once you get a ring correct.. WOW!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the hexagons and the long hexagons.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteHow about an Apple Core? The die cuts are also a great idea. Good luck with the store.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower - I would love some 1" Hexagons !!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed browsing through your store :)

ReplyDeleteWelcome Joanne, great idea. I would pick a pack of hexies & diamonds, size I'm not too sure yet. Fingers crossed! Tracee xx
ReplyDeleteI am a follower now too
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a wedding ring quilt so those shapes to make perfect circles would be great. Tracee xx
ReplyDeleteI purchased a half done grandmother's flower garden (umm 20 years ago), and have been intimidated by it. I'd like 2 pkgs of 1" hexies to "try" to finish it...maybe, or maybe something easier to start. Scares me to even think about it!
ReplyDeleteI would like the pieces that make a star with the hexagon in the center (the star points are diamonds with the end that attaches to the hexagon cut off. Maybe you already have this, but I didn't see them.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Joanne, cannot wait to see what we hear about what goes on in your world. Paper-piecing is definitely on my list of things to try. I would like to try the hexagons and diamonds, although you may have a better suggestion for a beginner!
ReplyDeleteThe comment above is me. Do not know enough about paper piecing to suggest a shape, but I love anything with hearts.

ReplyDeleteThis is the cut-off point for entries for draw 3.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try hexagons and just haven't taken the plunge yet. A 2 pack of the 1" hexagons would seal the deal, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI'm a blog follower now.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to make an Escher style repeat pattern quilt. I imagine it would be the right kind of thing for patterns such as the type you create. Perhaps I'm wrong. I'm new to quilting so I could be way out to lunch.
