IHAN's 30 Days of Giveaways
Anniversary Celebration
Day 15 Giveaway
Nancy Dill, Owner
Anyone remember this picture? These are the women who "saved my life" in Pittsburgh. Carol, Lacey and Nancy were the ones who I approached on the streets of Pittsburgh and asked if they were familiar with the area. I had gotten turned around and could not find where I had parked and it was after 10 PM. They were so kind to help me find my van and then they waited until I got in and left. I could still be wandering the streets of Pittsburgh if it were not for these lovely ladies.
Since that time I've had the pleasure of meeting up with them again and chatting with them over the Internet. I posted recently on the recognition Nancy received from American Express for the "Make Mine A Million Dollar Business Competition" and she was one of 10 awardees at the American Express Open Women’s Business Summit in Houston, Texas.
Nancy also owns Betty's Quilting Etc. I am telling you she is one busy woman!!! I don't know weather to scratch my watch or wind my butt most of the time. I guess I need to learn how Nancy does it all :)
One thing I can tell you, she did send 10 wonderful patterns to be given away to 10 very lucky IHAN blog readers!!! Here they are:

Love the humbug bag! It would be handy for organizing a purse or to carry a few sewing notions when taking along some handwork. Nice giveaway! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSince I am a bag lady addicted quilter my two favorites would be:
ReplyDeleteTuck-Away Tote and Humbug Bag. They look like such fun.
lcloos@epix.net
Tuck Away Tote
ReplyDeletelooks like stuff I am doing already. would be fun to see a new approach.
I would like either Table Graces or Take Four as my placemats are not very attractive (all the sets I have are old) and I really need more!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Let's see...so many cool choices....
ReplyDeleteThe Table Graces or the Take Four Placemants are NEEDED! But, I'm in a Batik Swap, so the Batik Diamonds is needed.(lol!) The Tuck Away Tote is just too cute, who wouldn't love to have it? The Prairie Window, Trophy Case, and Stoneworks, would be perfect to have for the "next" project.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I think my comment got lost...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the STONEWORKS pattern, I would make it with all batiks! Thanks for the chance at it.
I like Stoneworks - I love medallion quilts!
ReplyDeleteI already have the tuck-a-away tote bag pattern and it has easy to follow directions and it does tuck away nicely in one's purse. The checkout clerks are always impressed when I bring that bag.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Windows on the East and The Humbug Bag...actually, all of these patterns look to be fun to make!
Oh a bag pattern! I love bags! Or the table graces pattern looks nice too. Those humbug bags are awfully cute..maybe I like those best. Too hard to pick, they are all so nice!
ReplyDeleteMGM
My goodness, the giveaways just get better & better. I am a batik nut so would love to have the Batik Diamonds pattern. Love the Stoneworks pattern too. Thanks so much for all the wonderful opportunites to meet new artists.
ReplyDelete(tegens@charter.net)
The Take-4 placemats. I LOVE that pattern! Why haven't I seen it before. Thanks for introducing us to so many new products and patterns. THis giveaway is not only fun, but very educational (OK--and a little dangerous. Too many new ideas. :) )
ReplyDeleteI love Jelly Patch Straight to the Point! I've not made anything with a jelly roll, which I am assuming this pattern would work well. You could pack the cruise in as a bonus ;-)
ReplyDeleteI really like the Table Graces pattern!
ReplyDeleteI like those Take Four placemats. I'm redecorating my kitchen and need to make new placemats.
ReplyDeleteKathie L in Allentown
They are all great patterns, but I like Stoneworks the best!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try that Humbug Bag. That looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'd also love to take that cruise!!!

I like the Table Graces pattern. Love making kitchen items! Thanks for the chance to win! Sharonj.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at quilts made of diamonds lately and I'm working up to one, so the pattern I would love to have is the Batik Diamonds. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHello!! I am loving getting each and every one of your celebration posts - I am finding that I am really looking forward to what comes next. And when I notice it's after midnight, I sign on to see if you've posted yet! And yes, I've noticed those late night posts!!
ReplyDeleteThese patterns are great - I love the Tuck Away Tote :)
Now I'm off to enter the post for the iron - I just realized I never entered for that one! Wish me luck :)
Oh, my, what a wonderful assortment of patterns. Thank you and your suppliers for such fabulous prizes to whet our appetites!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Trophy Case by Barb SackelSackel. I love flowers!
ReplyDeleteThe Humbug bag is absolutely ADORABLE!!! I need something like that since I sew/quilt in 3 different rooms in my house!
ReplyDeleteI also like the Batik Diamonds pattern! Always looking for a new quilt to start :
I'd take either the Batik Diamonds or Stoneworks. I don't quilt myself, but I would give the pattern to my friend who does!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Four Seasons Dining Decor Quilt Pattern. This would make a great gift for my mom!
ReplyDeleteOh, The Humbug Bag looks fabulous! I'm visiting by way of Quilt Dad. Love traveling through blogland and visiting so many talented people.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a 200th giveaway, so come by for a visit.
The Humbug Bag is my favorite, I think. It is something different.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog, I was recently introduced to it, and it is great.
Maureen
I promise that, if I win Window on the East, I would actually make it!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteI've always enjoyed seeing that humbug bag! Great patterns...and oh gosh did they ever save you!!
ReplyDeleteJelly Patch Straight To The Point Series by Ann Anderson looks just like my kind of quilt. I would love to win that pattern. Thanks for the giveaway :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are three of interest to me. I have a stash of Asian prints including panels that either the Window on the East or Trophy Case would work up very nicely.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Take Four Placemats, especially the geometric appeal.
Such wonderful patterns! I love Stoneworks and the humbug bag!
ReplyDeleteI am drawn to Take Four Placemats and The Humbug Bag; but you know I wouldn't send back any of them.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and the Prairie Window one too.
I would love to win the Take Four Place-mat pattern and I also love the Trophy Case Pattern.
ReplyDeleteElaine
I like Prairie Window and Window on the East because I could use some of the big print fabrics I have. Those patterns would really be good to show off the fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dilemma it is to chose a pattern! Well, the two will chose are the Batik Diamonds pattern and the Stoneworks pattern. Thank you. mlwright29 {at} hotmail {dot} com
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and generous offer.
ReplyDelete~a
I like the Prairie Window pattern.I think this would be lovely in art nouveau-patterned fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the humbug bag pattern, looks like fun to make.
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are all fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Table Graces, and Window on the East! But that Humbug bag looks like so much fun!!
Jelly Patch Straight To The Point Series by Ann Anderson. Beautiful! I would love to make a quilt with Jelly rolls to see how I would like doing that.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win either the Table Graces or Take Four Placemats pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy reasons. . . I've been working very hard on getting the house cleared out & cleaned up. I think having pretty placemats on the table will stop both DH & I from just piling stuff on the first clear surface we come to when we come home!
What a lucky day to have these lovely ladies come to your rescue. It was meant to be having your paths cross.
ReplyDeleteWell, because you said the cruise wasn't a give-away, (I have to go check out the web link) and yes, I think you should go because of all you do. I would surely love to win Jelly Patch Straight to the Point or Stoneworks. Both are lovely.

I just love patterns, please enter my name in the hat.
ReplyDeleteI like Table graces, I just remodeled my dining room and these would be great in the new room.
The take four place mats would be fun to make and give my table a new look. Any of the patterns could be added to my to do list.
ReplyDeleteI love the placemat patterns.
ReplyDeleteI am rather intrigued by the humbug bag, so that would have to be my choice!
ReplyDeleteGosh hard decision. I love the design on Jelly Path Straight to the Top (Hope I got the title right:)
ReplyDeleteHappy one Year!
I'd love to win Stoneworks and humbug patterns.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Patty d
I would love to win Stoneworks but any of the patterns would be great!
ReplyDeleteTake 4 placements is my favorite pattern.
ReplyDeleteStoneworks is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think it would make a gorgeous gift for a friend of mine that just bought a new bedroom set!
SheilaC
Oh I love the Take 4 Placemats! I have been making mats for gifts and this would be a great way to add to what I can do! :)
ReplyDeleteI just finished 7 Humbug bags to take to my bridge buddies in Dallas next week. I know that they will love them!
ReplyDeleteDale B.
Batik Diamonds. I have not worked with batik fabric and I always love "diamonds." :-)
ReplyDeletewould love the humbug bag pattern because I need to overcome my fear of sewing with zippers and love to make random acts of kindness gifts...
ReplyDeleteThe Pine Needle Applique pattern is one I would love to have. I am always looking for an inspirational applique and this is it! Sure would be a challenge and gorgeous when done. PLEASE send it my way!
ReplyDeletetuck a way tote rocks!
ReplyDeleteStoneworks and Take Four are my two favorite pattern from Quilt Woman.
ReplyDeletei like the jelly patch straight to the point pattern best!
ReplyDeletegill
Let's see--Window on the East would be a great way to showcase some large scale floral fabric I have. I could do that with Barb's Trophy Case too-cool layout. I could really use some of those Humbug bags for my trips to the library. I could put all those little extras I think I need and my wallet right in my book tote and leave my pocketbook at home!! Awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe "Window On The East" and the "Tuck Away Tote" would be so awesome in my collection! I love patterns, any patterns, I collect them...for someday dreams.
ReplyDeleteLove that Jelly Patch to the Point pattern - I have a dew jelly rolls but no idea what to do with them. That pattern seems perfect!
ReplyDeleteI'm really drawn to the trophy case quilt pattern. Just the thing to show off my favorite fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely ladies! And the cruise sounds like so much fun! The patterns that really catch my eye are 'Stoneworks,' 'Take Four Placemats,' 'Jelly Patch: Straight to the Point,' and 'Table Graces.' The two placemat patterns b/c I'm in the middle of a project for sprucing up my kitchen and would love some pretty table designs, and the Stoneworks and Jelly Patch are very pretty, patchy designs. I'm guessing Jelly Patch is done with a jelly roll and those have just recently captured my attention. Great giveaway! Thanks so much! Can't wait for the 16th.
ReplyDeleteI always find myself attracted to geometric shapes, so I would love to make the Stoneworks quilt. Also, I think the Humbug Bag is just darling. Thanks for the chance to win one of these fun patterns!
ReplyDeletemybusyhands@gmail.com
stoneworks and jelly patch are both wonderful and would love to create either.

I really like the Humbug Bag, Stoneworks and the Trophy Case and Batik Diamonds are pretty neat too. I would love to try Stoneworks with in batiks or solids. Your story was amazing, how coincidental that they were the ones to help when you were lost.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the humbug bag. It's simply the cutest little bag I've ever seen. And yes, I would make it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I just cannot decide which I like the best, but it would be fun to try to pick one.
ReplyDeleteI love that humbug bag...lovely!
ReplyDeleteMicki
