If you've been following this new blog, you'll know that my favourite favourite project right now is my Candied Hexagons quilt. I mentioned it in a recent post but if you want to know more about this Hexalong, visit Lily's Quilts.
I am continually inspired by the creativity of everyone in this Hexalong. There's so much variety in the fabrics and colours used. You can see all the latest Hexalong photos (including mine) here.
The great thing about Candied Hexagons is that no two blocks are the same. You mix and match hexagons, half-hexagons, triangles, diamonds, basically any shapes that fit together.
Now I'm sure that the last thing you want to do when you're excited about a new project is spend your time cutting out your paper pieces. So I've put together a Candy Pack containing all the following:
100 x 1" hexagons
100 x 1" diamonds
100 x 1" triangles
100 x 1 1/2" hexagons
100 x 1 1/2" diamonds
100 x 1 1/2" triangles
Yes that's 600 pieces in the Candy Pack. All pieces are die-cut by me myself and I, so you get to choose from paper pieces or card pieces. I'm giving away two packs, one to the first Australian entry drawn and one to the first International entry drawn. Shipping included.
Leave a comment on this blog (about anything you like) before 9pm (Sydney time) Friday 19 August. Only one entry per person please. (If you want to stay private, you're welcome to email me an entry.)
If you're interested in maybe purchasing a Candy Pack, I've listed them here in my store at a 20% discount compared to buying each shape/size individually.
How awesome! I just discovered Lily's Quilts earlier this morning. Beautiful quilts, and this candy pack that you're offering will surely get someone addicted.
ReplyDeleteThese candy pack hexagons are interesting. All the different little pieces are a bit like tangrams when the older children were at school.. Black and bright colours would make an interesting licorice allsorts hexagon :).
ReplyDeleteOOOO - What a great bit of Candy !!! I love the thought of trying new shapes - I am already hooked on the hexagons - But who knows - Triangles, Diamonds - Sounds inviting
ReplyDeletePlease include me in the Giveaway - I would be thrilled !!!!!
Oh my goodness! A place to go from.. my regular hexagon quilt.. I need to learn MORE! This is an amazing step forward.. you have me hooked now!!
ReplyDeleteStill got to try out hexagons, I keep looking at them and thinking I should have a go... Linda
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing - thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteI want, want, want to make one of these quilts. Just desperately looking for a free minute or two. If I won this pack that would push me over the edge and I'd have to start on it :)

I have been following your blog and you have introduced me to the love of these little shapes.I am catching myself saving little pieces of fabric when usually i did not as a i did not know what to do with it. now i do and can't wait to get some shapes. I live in Victoria BC Canada
ReplyDeleteI've been admiring hexies from a distance for quite a while now. A candy pack would surely push me over the edge. I'm a beginner at this quilting thing so I need little nudges. It's all kind of scary in a way, you know.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! A very generous giveaway. I checked out some of the pictures, the possibilities seem endless. I have only done the hexies so far but I'd love some of those combinations. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great package! All the hexies at Hexalong Flickr group are awesome - love looking at them all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic giveaway. The Hexalong is so inspiring and your contributions are looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Next we will need a tutorial on how to use these!

ReplyDeleteHoping that I can enter your fabulous giveaway Joanne as I would love to win this awesome pack, I have this quilt bookmarked ages ago and love it :) Hugs Vicki
ReplyDeleteOh what an amazing little pack. These would certainly help my progress along.
ReplyDeleteHi .. What a great giveaway! I just took a class awhile back and doing hexies is my new love. My interest is peaked to try the other shapes. Congratulations on your new blog! Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog.
ReplyDeleteI would love the opportunity to get back to hexies. My first quilt - started 1979 and finished 1999 was hexagons, all hand sewn and hand quilted.
A candy pack? Sounds fun! I'm itching to do some hexagons!
ReplyDeleteA candy pack? Excellent, I've been working on my hand sewing skills recently. :) Thanks for the generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm addicted to hexagons. The candy pack sounds addicting also. I want all of the shapes. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful giveaway. ';>
ReplyDeleteWow, perfect match for my about-to-start first ever hexie project! And what a fabulous idea!!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful prize to win. Your blog and hexis have made me think out side normal hexis. I just love the diffrent shapes and colors
ReplyDeleteI love EPP but I really hate cutting all those paper pieces. That prize would be a great help for my projects.Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great advantage that pack would be to begin a Candied Hexagon quilt! I have loved all the Candied Hex quilts I have seem in Blogland and almost at the point of doing one for myself.

My friends Melody and Elliek now have me hooked on Hexies, i have joined the Hexie Flower swap. thank you for your generousity,I would love to be in your giveaway. R.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway!! I am already a hexi addict....I never seem to have enough papers.
ReplyDeleteI've been fighting mightily against this hexie addiction that is going around but it's REALLY HARD when you offer such tempting candy!! Oh well pop my name in and if I get picked I'll just have to give them a go then wont I LOL.... :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing anything fancy with hexagons at the moment, since I'm in the middle of making a simple grandmother's garden hexagon quilt with fabric I got from the Victoria and Albert Museum (London) when I visited the Quilt Exhibition last year. But I'd love to have some different shapes to use once I've finished it. I've loved the hexagons I've been seeing on Lily's Quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful prize. I find if I cut the hexagon papers out, they are never the same size. Visited the Festival of quilts this weekend and they had some wonderful old hexagon quilts.
ReplyDeleteThank you for offering such a useful prize,the candy pack would be great to get us started on different shapes.
ReplyDeleteHappy days.

What a great idea! I may need to buy some :) Thanks for another chance to win :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully generous giveaway! Thankyou for offering such a useful selection of papers! I have been getting into EPP lately - love the soothing nature of hand-stitching.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous and great give away. I am doing a lot of EPP - lots of people do in Denmark - so I would love to be the lucky winner.
