999 giveaway

Please don't think that the title of today's post means that I am having any kind of urgent giveaway (in the UK, 999 is the number you dial when you need one of the emergency services).

Instead it refers to the total number of sales I currently have in my little etsy shop and the party part of me thought it might be an idea to celebrate the anticipation of that entry into quadruple digits which will be brought about by sale number 1000.  In other words, any excuse for a little party.

Up for grabs today:-

Prize one - a copy of my bloom and delightful pdf patterns plus another pattern of your own choice.

Runner up prizes - any two pdf patterns of choice from my shop.

All you need to do to enter is leave a comment below and let me know what fabrics you would use to make any of these quilts in, if you don't fancy telling me that you could just tell me about anything you are almost ready to celebrate - I would love to know.

Giveaway will close on Thursday 19th April, I will publish the winners name on this post.

[Anne]

Not long ago I bought a fqb of Little Apples, far too good to be Cut ;-). It's now or never, I guess. Thank you for the chance!

[Michelle Freeman]

I would make bloom in the Walk in the Woods fabrics...in the pink, blue and red colorways....(the grey is being put into a baby blanket as I type)....as for delightful...I think it would make a great stash buster....but to use all the bits of delight gathered over the years....
thank you!

[Anita]

Congratulations!
I have loads of pretty dutch fabric I brought back with me when I repatriated, so I would use some of that
Thanks!

[Lisa M]

Would use a rainbow of pastels for Spring. Even though it's Autumn here now...

[Mary]

I know exactly what I would do with these patterns! Bloom, for a girl quilt for Siblings Together, and Delightful in "boy" colors for the same! GREAT giveaway, Aneela! Thanks for the chance!

[Donna]

I would love to make Delightful in light colored batiks for a "beach cottage" look. Bloom would be made in yellows - one of my favorite colors - it would be happy and perky. Thanks for offering the chance to win.

[Amy in UK]

How exciting for you - 999 and soon to be 1000 sales!! These patterns are lovely and I think I cold see 'Delightful' in some of the Flea Market Fancy with some yummy solids. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Sarah]

I can't get enough of Vintage Modern at the moment! And Essex linen.

[Sally]

I would use something I buy at the quilter's convention I'll be attending this weekend (AQS Paducah, KY)...something I'm SO looking forward to! Thanks for your constant inspiration and for the chance to win!

[Ellyn]

what a lovely giveaway! I am on a solids kick, both would be lovely in solids! great patterns

[gillian]

I seem to be stuck on anna maria horner's little folks voile right now even though they frustratingly resist spray baste. I would love to do your bloom pattern with them.

[Christine]

Your patterns are both lovely. Today I received my order of Walk in the Woods from The Fat Quarter Shop. I think they would be perfect.

[Liz DandeliondD]

I completely love both those patterns and am really longing to make one.

At the moment I am besotted by Pezzy Prints, so it would have to be one of those.

I think that Bloom would look amazing in Sherbert Pips too.

Thanks for this fab giveaway chance.

[Lizzie]

Congrats on almost a thousand!
I could see Bloom in a graduating rainbow of brights, with a butter yellow background. Delightful would be lovely with Walk in the Woods or Flea Market Fancy!

[Dee]

Oh I would love to make Bloom in fresh blues and white, like a cornflower x

[Paula W.]

These are two wonderful patterns. I'm not sure what fabric I would use but I know they would look great in just about anything! Thanks for the chance to win!

[Julie D]

I would love to make bloom in turquoises and greys. Love that pattern.

[Jocelyn]

I would love to use Ruby to make Delightful!! I have two charm packs just waiting for the perfect pattern. Thanks!

[Heidi H.]

For my daughter I would use sage green and tan colors, maybe with a spot of pink amd white here and there. Congrats!

[sally de Wijn]

i would totally use my walk in the woods fabric!! it is the perfect project for it!! love it!!

[Amy B.]

I'm almost ready to celebrate the arrival of our first baby!! He's due today, but hasn't gotten the memo yet. :)

[Cecillia]

I have some little apples that I could use for one of these quilts! :)

[Treadlemusic.wordpress.com]

This is me jumping up and down in happiness for you!! What a time this has been for you!!!! I would choose from all your fabric lines (since they coordinate so perfectly!!!) and thoroughly enjoy any of the patterns!!! It is such a blessing to watch your career as it moves forward. Hugs, Doreen

[Penny G]

I love them both, but I see them as possible scrap busting projects, not a particular line. I am getting ready to celebrate my younger daughter's second wedding anniversary with her!

[Pauline]

Congrats on your Etsy sales. I would luv to win your 999 giveaway....I've still lots of Pips in my stash and Little Apples...and what would be better than using my stash...it would be an Aneela Hoey designed quilt....pattern and fabric. More quilts to add to your Flicker group. Thanks for the chance...have a wonderful week...hugs from Michigan.

[Jeni]

Oh yum! Well let's see, Sew Stitchy of course! :) I'd love to do Bloom in vintage sheets too!

[Becky S]

I would love to make Bloom in Sew Stitchy, Thanks for the fun giveaway!

[terry phelps]

I would love walk in the woods for Bloom and maybe some blossom for delightful..

[Mary Ann]

I think I'd have to go with Sew Stitchy for Delightful and then Ruby for Bloom. So many options, thanks for the opportunity Aneela!

[bec]

I thinbk it would have to be Walk In Thw oods for the Bloom quilt, gorgeous!bec

[jess]

Oh I'd make one a boy quilt and one a girl quilt - both for siblings together. I'm sure they'd make some small peeps very happy :o)

[Emily L]

As much as I would love to buy fabric, I would thry to use up my stash of vintage fabrics.

[Helen]

I love Bloom in your fabric lines, but I'm intrigued by using it in Rouenneries Deux.

And I love pinwheels in 30s reproductions so I think that's what I would use for delightful.

[Barb]

Beautiful patterns, and congrats on the success of your shop! I love the bloom pattern, and it would be perfect for my red and aqua stash of fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win.

[Dianne]

Beautiful Patterns!!! I would use my new stash of Flea Markey Fancy and your Delightful pattern. I just love the pinwheels.

THANKS,
Dianne

[Paulette Doyle]

Fabric to use, if I won??? Nothing I have would be good enough...so I would HAVE to go shopping of course!! Yup...a definite shopping trip would be in order...thanks for the chance!! Gorgeous patterns!
Paulette

[Greta]

I'm a little scared of that Bloom pattern and I think that is what makes me want to make it. I'm thinking it would look lovely made with some Vintage Modern and Ruby as a Queen Size Quilt for my bed. Oh and now the rumbling thought in my brain has started.

[KerryQ]

Congratulations on your etsy success! I would use the American Jane fabric I've been hoarding. (Wee play)

[Sasha]

Congratulations on your Etsy sales!!! I think I would use Ruby for Bloom and maybe Sew Cherry for Delightful or maybe Hometown...eeeps!! Such a hard decision!!

[Gill]

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some FMF so I would use that!!

[Hildy]

I would dig deep in my fabric stash and made some really scrappy versions. The bloo pattern in differnt shades of pink and red and delightful in lots of blue, aqua and grey. Thanks for the giveaway and congrats to your etsy success! Hildy

[marion]

I'm planning on making delightful with my stash of flea market fancy. I love how the pattern seems to be covered in "M's". My initials are mm :)

[Nicvi P]

Hi Aneela. Congratulations! I think I would use the Delightful pattern to make a quilt for my sister. Her name is Mindy and with your fabric placement on those pinwheels, I see "M's" all over! Thanks!

[Archie the wonder dog]

I'd make Delightful with 'A Walk in the woods' and other prints/solids that co-ordinate with it and I'd raid my scrap boxes and stash for Bloom, I'm not sure what colours though - it depends what I find!!! Congratulations on all the sales!!

[Ella]

I have a boatload of rainbow charms that really need to be made into a quilt. They'd be perfect for the pinwheel!

[Becky M]

I would make bloom in the set of poetica that I just got. And delightful I would probably go scrappy with! I've been on a scrappy kick lately and that would look great that way.

[Andrea]

I am still using up the remains of 2 scrap boxes given to me. I would love to use them on one of your patterns!

[Tina Short]

Hi, I would do Bloom in a mixture of oranges from my stash as I'm trying - and failing - not to buy more fabric until I have used some up!
thanks for the chance to enter.

[Paula]

Ohhh Aneela!!! I love your patterns, yr quilts, embroideries, I mean your work!
We're going to celebrate my middle prince's Birthday on April. 23th!! he'll turn 15!!! Where did these 15 years go, for God's sake!
he's anxiously waiting for the big party with all his teens friends! Tks fr the lovely chance! xx

[Andrea]

We are getting ready to move into our first house. It will be a huge celebration for sure! I'm not sure which line I'd make the quilts in but I'm thinking something with grays, blues, and yellows.

[lee]

I have a box of vintage scraps I would love to use with one of your patterns. Lovely designs. thanks and congrats on 999

[Lisa C]

I have been wanting to try a quilt with solids. Up until now I've been allergic to solids! I think I would try the Bloom in colors of blues/greens/purples. But then again I love aqua/grey/yellow. I'm not very decisive this morning, am I?

[Meredith]

I love your new patterns! I actually have a fat quarter bundle of sherbet pips that I have been hording...I would probably use it on one one of these patterns!

[marie]

I like the pinwheels. I'd make them with Civil War fabrics, the only kind in my stash.

[Leila]

I have quite the collection of American Jane fabrics and I think they would look great in any of your quilts.

Thanks!!!

[Barb B]

I have a stack of kona solids in beach glass colours just waiting for a project.
and today is my birthday!!!

[elsa]

Nine hundred ninety-nine sales, that's great!
I'm one of those sales!
Not sure what fabric I'd make the quilts out of, I'd have to give it more thought.
We're celebrating my son's 28th birthday next weekend AND his graduation from art school in May! I'm so proud of him (plus he's a really great son). Then, my dil's birthday is in May and her sister is having a baby in May! We've got lots to be grateful for!

[diane stanley]

I love your patterns. We are almost ready to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary (in June).

[Barbara]

Thank you for the chance to win your patterns! I would like to use solid cream and my collection of 30's. My sister in law will have a baby girl on 3rd of may. Barbara from Italy

[Kathy R]

I would most definitely make Delightful out of Fig Trees California Girl and I think Bloom needs to be in Sherbet Pips!
Love both patterns and thank you!

[lindaroo]

I think your Delightful pattern would look fabulous using Smooth Sailing by Jenni Calo.
Thanks for the chance to win, and congrats on your shop going into new digits!

[Jessica]

I love your patterns!!! And I've never commented here before. I have a huge stash of Amy Butler fabrics that I would love to use on these patterns. Everything you make is beautiful! Congrats on 999-1000 etsy sales!!!

[Julie]

Oh my goodness I love your patterns, especially these. I have so many pinning waiting for the time/person to make it for. What fabric wouldn't I made those in?! I'm excitedly anticipating Sew Stitchy and Sweetwaters' upcoming line Mama Said Sew.

[Heartsdesire]

I would use something like Vintage Modern, but I have a layer cake of Bliss that I've been saving for just the right pattern, and I think I've found it. Thanks for a lovely giveaway and I'm sure you'll get to 1,000 soon if you're not already there. Congrats!

[Safeh]

thanks for the giveaway! As I mentioned recently on instagram, I still have 2 more baby girl quilts to make out of your Walk in the Woods fabric, and I think the bloom would be perfect for one (for the other one I'm already planning to make a Mega Swoon block)! The other pattern of yours I really love is Crackle, can't wait to make that someday!

[Laura]

I can see myself whipping up Delightful in some Flea Market Fancy or pull from my stash of 30's repros. Thanks for the chance to win! Lovely patterns!! :)

[Kristen]

Congratulations on the sales!

I would like to make something in your signature colors and fabrics. I am also thinking that Camille's and your fabrics need to play together in the quilt! :)

[Michelle Jensen]

Definitely some floral springy fabrics. I guess it is because tis the season :) Thanks for the giveaway. Love your patterns :)

[Jennie T.]

I'd have to audition a few fabrics, so I really couldn't tell you.

We're about to celebrate the end of our first year of law school. That's a good reason for a party, isn't it?

[Jenny]

how fun aneela! bloom is a lovely quilt...id like to use some of my older Sandi Henerson fabrics for a big bloom quilt

[Jessica]

Oh great prizes! I'd probably go with some fun Amy Butler florals for the Bloom...As for the Delightful pattern...I've been itching for something bright and Christmas-y, so something in that vein...

Also- congrats!!!

[Joanne]

Congratulations on the 999 sales!!
Thanks for the chance at the giveaway. If I was to win your patterns, I would love to make Bloom in Walk in the woods (as I don't think I could wait for Sew Stitchy to come out!) and Delightful makes me think of the seaside, so I would want to use Anchors Away by Dear Stella!!

[Pennie]

I'd like to make Bloom in some bright rainbow prints for one niece and Delightful in some really juicy colourful solids for my younger niece. And celebrate? Just about to celebrate OH's 40th, and hopefully the completion of 9 sets of curtains (yes I know I keep saying that!)

[Siobhan]

I've been lusting after some Pam Kitty Morning fabrics, so might use that. I also have some American Jane and A Walk in the Woods hoarded. And some French General. Ahem. Yeah--love it all!

Thanks for the chance!

[Denise in PA]

Yay! I'd love to make Bloom in A Walk in the Woods (which I just bought by the way!) and

[brit]

I am loving the bloom pattern myself, and I would probably use the little apples fabric to make that pattern in olive, I love the little apples line and can't get enough of it, the tortoise and snails in my background of choice on two quilts I'm making now, and The Apples themselves are in high demand here because my sister's wedding is apple themed :) The dancing quartet is special to me as well as it fits into my childhood and I"m using it in my sister's wedding shower gift. ( I actually bought a fat quarter's bundle of little apples at the beach last fall, and didn't realize it was your line at the time..So adorable@)

[Rhonda H.]

I would love to win some of your patterns! I'm not sure exactly which fabrics I would use but 2 possibilities would be my enormous stashes of Sherbet Pips and A Walk in the Woods (can you tell I'm a fan of your work ;>) Thanks for the chance!

[Tanesha]

I'd use Vintage Modern for the Bloom quilt - so pretty! Thanks for the giveaway Aneela.

[charlotte]

I have so many fabrics, I guess I would have to see the pattern I was using in the context of the fabrics I have on hand. I celebrate sewing every day I can.

[Peggy falbo]

Oh that's a great giveaway! My sister had a baby boy recently so i will meet him for the first v soon. I sm so excited

[Doreen B]

Oh such beautiful patterns! Thanks for the chance to win! I have some polka dot fabric set aside for pinwheels - would look great for the "Delightful" pattern.

[Elisabeth]

Hello,
I would use some of my French General fabrics... thanks.
Elisa

[Heidi]

I'd love to try Bloom with some Salt Air. Gorgeous patterns!

[Leah]

I would use up my hoard of pips! I love that fabric and almost hate to use it!

Thanks for the giveaway!
Leah

[kelly o!]

Congratulations on your sales!

I would love to make a swirling rainbow "Bloom" on charcoal/lt black background.

Thanks for a great giveaway!

[Kristy in Ohio]

Oh, I will answer both questions. I would use your Walk in the Woods fabric......and we are about to celebrate the precious baptism of our 2nd grandson, Lukas Michael. Life is good!

[ina]

Hi Aneela, I would make Delightful out of my Flower Sugar scraps that are just waiting to be picked out of the scrap bin!

I would use Delilah scraps to make Bloom. ;p

[Audrie]

I'd use any of your fabrics to make Bloom!!! I have all of them in their bundles still lol! And I'm getting ready to celebrate my 35th birthday! Just two days to go! :)

[Jennyroo]

These are such pretty patterns! We have lots of celebrations coming up - my Mom's birthday, my husband's birthday, my middle child turning 4 and my baby turning 1 year old, then Mother's day. Oh, all of these celebrations are within 14 calendar days! ACK! That's a lot of cake! LOL.

[Lisa]

LOVE your "Little Apples" fabric line. I would make a quilt in those gorgeous fabrics. I am celebrating becoming a permanent full-time teacher- which has been a goal of mine for many years!!!! Yay!!!!

[sarah]

I am so in love with the "Delightful" pattern! We're getting ready to celebrate my husband's birthday next week (#39!) and my daughter's bday a week after that (#10).

[Lisa Hoyer]

We are celebrating my dad's birthday today - he is 92 years old today.

[Victoria Calvert]

wow what a great chance! I've just bought loads of greens and yellows, i was feeling spring(y)! i would love to try our your bloom pattern on them!
And talking of celebrating i'm in the process of buying my first house so when that goes through celebrating I will!!!!! ohhh these quilts would look lovely on my new sofa for my soon be new house....! ;)

[Caren Adams]

I feel like celebrating a "no more sickness" day. Our family has been passing around germs since the fall (beginning of kindergarten for my oldest child). Presently two of the kiddos have ear infections and I am fighting off a strep infection. I'd like to take you up on your offer of the "other patterns", though, since I am not a quilter (and I really like your embroidery patterns!)

[Jamie Lee]

I'd probably use 30 for the Dresden. We are celebrating summer today. It's about 90 degrees in Maryland.

[Tabatha]

I'm celebrating the fact that in just 25 days, DH and I will be in Germany enjoying the best beer in the world and bratwurst!

[Leigh]

I've got a crush on Japanese taupes at the moment so how about Bloom in taupes for something a bit unusual?!
Cheers :-)

[Rebecca]

I would love to make Bloom in rainbow solids! I think it would be bright and cheery!

[NancyM]

Bloom would look wonderful in the A Walk in the Woods fat quarters I have been saving!

[nicke]

hope valley... for sure!
