Hi Everyone,
I simply must hack into Bronwyn's post and tell you all how gorgeous this quilt really is. She hasn't even described how perfectly sewn it is. I can't let it go by and not tell you that the stitching done by Bronwyn is so lovely. Each stitch is perfectly hand-sewn by her and is just divine. I wish that I could sew even just half as good as her. She poured over this quilt for months, working on each block for days, there is not one stitch out of place. Each tiny little stitch is exactly the same as the one before it. Bronwyn is such a perfectionist. This quilt has been appliqued and beautifully hand stitched by her. It truely is an heirloom piece and will make a wonderful addition to your Christmas display. You must enter as you will not be disappointed with this quilt.
Good luck!
Sanchia...oh, and sorry Bronwyn :-)
OMG!! How awesome Bronwyn :) I love this quilt and have it tagged to make. But of course I would love to win your one. That would be so special. What I would like Secret Santa to bring me for Christmas is a rotating cutting board. One of these would make cutting applique shapes etc out so much easier. Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous quilt. Hugs Vicki x

Dear Bronwyn.....
I simply adore your quilt - it's gorgeous!!! So, I'm desperately hoping that 'Secret Santa' (aka my partner of 4 years) brings me an engagement ring.....I think that that would make a very nice 'little' gift under our Christmas tree this year!!! (Maybe now that I've wished for it, it will come true!!!
Congratulations on having your quilt published in the Quilting magazine - you've done a terrific job!!!
Thanks,
Kay

I'd love secret santa to bring me piles of Quilting magazines. Old, new I'm really not too picky, and if they can't find any, then a subscription to magazines will do just fine.

I would like Secret Santa to bring me a new camera. Mine is dying a very painful, slow death, and I can't imagine being without one.

Bronwyn, what a beautiful and generous giveaway. I would love Secret Santa to bring me another charm for my bracelet, maybe one with a stone or some gold. Other than that I just wish for a happy time of family celebrations for you and for us too.
Posted by: Sylvia | November 21, 2011 at 10:12 AM
Bronwyn, you are so generous and clever! I have most of your patterns, but don't know in which life-time I'll get to make them all! My Secret Santa wish ( which I know is not possible) is more time to make all your lovely designs!

Bronwyn my wish for myself for Christmas is for my sewing room to be completely ready for me to sew so I can start enjoying my hobby again, Merry Christmas to one and all.

What I'd really REALLY like Secret Santa to bring me is a Horn cabinet to keep my Bernina sewing machine in - goodness I would be such a happy sewer - and I would be a very VERY good girl for the rest of the year ;)

Dear Secret Santa, my wishes for this christmas is that my sister will get the "clear-of-breast-cancer-message" from the hospital, and that we will have many years to come to celebrate christmas together.

What an awesome giveaway! I wish my secret Santa would bring me a quilting machine so I could finish my numerous quilt tops sooner!

I want Santa to bring me books about quilting and some lovely fabrics.
Posted by: Wivi | November 21, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Thanks for your generosity Bronwyn! I have had my eye on a lovely smallish cupboard that I want for my sewing room. I've been dropping hints so here's hoping! lol It's shabby chic with drawers and glass doors on top with shelving. Not terribly wide and tallish. Will be perfect for the corner where I have my buttons and small things. Here's hoping! Ü

Hi Bronwyn, simply amazing prize, thank you. I would like Secret Santa to bring me a new kitten. I have been watching far too many kitten videos on Facebook so am overloaded on cuteness & want my own bundle of it. Of course, my own Brutus & his brother Honey would not be too happy if this one came true. Tracee xx

Your quilt is awesome, thanks for being so generous and willing to ship outside AU (I live in USA). I'd like Santa to bring joy and happiness to all my family and friends (you too). A visit from the 'far away' kids would be make me 'over the top' with happiness.
Posted by: marie | November 21, 2011 at 11:08 AM
I love the quilt! It is gorgeous! As for what I'd like Santa to bring me, I'd like him to bring me my son and his family. He is in the air force and I haven't seen him in over 6 years.

Your quilt is gorgeous, thanks for a chance to win it! I would love for Secret Santa to bring me a Go! Baby to make cutting out applique easier and faster! And maybe a light box, too!

Thank you Bronwyn for your generosity. I've been stitching away on your recent Christmas freebies and enjoying them immensely.
I'd like it very much if Secret Santa would being me some variegated Valdani Perle No 12 threads for my big stitch hand quilting. I think they'll make my hand quilting a more joyful task.
Posted by: Barbara J | November 21, 2011 at 11:12 AM
I would love for my Secret Santa to set up my quilting machine again. We had to take it down while we were remodeling and it has yet to assembled in it's new location. I need to get some quilt tops finished.
