Together they've created an awesome little pattern business called sew ichigo, and Kerry generously offered me 3 sets of patterns to give away.
Both Kerry and Penny have a fantastic eye for detail, and they write patterns that are incredibly straightforward and concise. I know that because paper piecing patterns usually confuse the heck out of me and theirs make it sound like I could actually get this nailed without too many tears.
If you'd like to win a set leave a comment and I'll pick 3 winners in a week.
If you are looking for the backstitch giveaway you'll find it here and the Art Gallery giveaway is here. It's giveaway central this week on the blog!!!
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

I love the food mixer! Couldn't someone cheat and just make some fabric like that?
Don't enter me for the giveaway. I'm not a paper piecing fan and don't "do" patterns.
Ooh lovely pattern. I too am a paper piecing phobic. I aim to overcome this fear though.
me too! I use to come out in hives just thinking about it!! Until one of my friends encouraged me to just go for it. I have only made a few mug rugs but I am now starting to understand how to do it, I still get it wrong but I am not as scared as I use to be. Would love to have a go at these pattterns...though the food mixer may bring me out in hives again!! Linda
Beautiful paper piercing
I had never tried paper-piecing until I signed up for the Littlest Thistle's Foundation Paper Piecing for the Terrified course. I can highly recommend it, and would love to win those patterns now that I am no longer terrified :)

They look fab, so different from the normal patterns available. I would love to give them a try, yes please.
ooh, thse could be just what I need to get over my own fear of paper piecing, and they are soooo cute - pick me, please, pick me!
I would absolutely love to win a set of these cute patterns!
I love Kerry an Penny's work an I follow their blogs. I would love to win a set of patterns!
Ooh these are so pretty! Would love to win them :D
Their patterns are so cute. Love them all! Thanks so much!
Clever and witty patterns - I'd love to get my teeth stuck into those...thx for the chance!!
Neat! Can't wait to try it out - love the mixer!!!!
Wow I would love to give that mixer block a go. Looks like trouble but should be fun!
I love the mixer and the kettle, so cute. Would love to win. Fingers crossed. x
I love Kerry and Penny's blocks, they are super clever. This style of paper piecing high on my list of things to master!
I'm willing to 'give it a go' (I think?!?!) what's the worse that can happen?? Tears, hair pulling, chucking my rotary cutter across the room.......

I've just spent the last half hour or so checking out Sew Ichigo and Kerry and Penny's blogs. I love their patterns, would love to win a set. Do you think my Kenwood Chef would mind being dressed in a Kitchen Aid housecoat?
I love these patterns, I'd make a bigger Kitchen Aid mixer block and put that in the kitchen cos there's no room & no money for a real one!!!
I love these patterns and would love to make a coffee pot/tea kettle mini for my friend's studio - I think it would look great above her little kitchen area!
Oooh yes please! I could definitely also use some help in this area :)
I didn't think I would like paper piecing until I tried it at FQR and once I got my head around it I do really love it! For some patterns I think there isn't a sensible way to get such an accurate and crisp result, even with careful cutting. These patterns look lovely!
The teapot would be fantastic for a project I have in mind!
I love their patterns and have been too much of a wuss to try them
I love what Kerry and Penny are creating and would so welcome a chance to try out their kitchen patterns!
Love those. I just tried paper piecing for the first time yesterday and would love to try these.
I Love their stuff. I am the proud owner of a mug rug Kerry made me in a swap - it blows me away every time I look at it. I dunno how she parted with it. And yeah I can EPP all day long but this kind of paper piecing scares the Sh1t out of me. But I do want to master it!
Those are the most clever designs!!!
Please enter me into the giveaway as I would love to try these out.hugs
The patterns are so darling. I'd love to try them.
I have admired these for the longest time! I love paper piecing. It's like calisthenics for my little pea brain!
Oh I have been psyching myself up to attempt these - thanks for the chance x
I love those!
I would love to try this! Thanks for the chance!
Love following their blogs on reader and they are great patterns
I am determined to try these patterns at some point. Maybe with some muslin first cause I know I'm gonna mangle the hell outta the first attempt
I would love to try these patterns!
I *love* their patterns! though I haven't yet tried paper piecing, I figure I will some day (soon)... I've always wanted a KitchenAid mixer, but I figure I may have to settle with the fabric version. (hmm... perhaps I could incorporate it into a pouch to hold my cheepie handheld mixer.)
like you I could EPP all day long, not so sure about paper piecing. Sounds like these are the patterns to start with! Please count me in :-)
I love paper piecing and these are so cute. Thanks for the giveaway.
I paper-pieced a fairytale quilt for our girl...just have to think backwards! Now I'm learning the traditional EPP with you....guess I need to go check out their blogs too!:)
I've only dabbled in paper piecing. I really love their patterns and it would be so much to give them a try.
Ooooh, this is exciting! I love these girls' blocks. So talented! I would love to win. And I think you need a few more things to do.
I need more practice paper piecing... this would be awesome to win so that I can get better!
I'd really love to paper piece the Kitchen Aid Mixer.
Love 'em! Those ladies could piece anything!
Darling blocks, who wouldn't want them?!! Thanks for the chance to win. :)
I'm still working on my paper piecing competency. These look like such cute and detailed patterns! Thanks for the chance to win them.

Mmm yes please, I did Kerry's workshop at FQ retreat and have since finished a house block, I'd love to try some more designs from the clever pair - thanks
I love all the wee details they include, definitely above and beyond what most people would even think of, let alone attempt!
Thanks for the chance to win :o)
These look so cute! Paper piecing is a little intimidating to me, but I'd get over it quickly for these beautiful patterns!
Oh, these are so sweet. I had my first try at hexagons yesterday, would love this for when I am ready to try something new.
Oh pick me please miss katy! I so want to be able to do this! I have a fear to conquer too first maybe these patterns will help?!
Ohhhh - I would love to win these. I to am a paper-piecing virgin and the coffee pot looks fab (and appropriate given my current caffeine addiction!) x
I like paper piecing but it can be a challenge. Thanks for the giveaway!

PP unnerves me like mad and hearing you thought these two wonderful pattern makers made it easy makes me jump for joy.
The coffee pot is adorable. They all are.
Thanks for a chance. :D
I love Kerry and Penny's patterns, and really enjoyed Kerry's class at the FQR. I would love to win this, but if I don't I think I'll be buying them anyway

I love paper piecing and these are some of the cutest patterns ever!
I would love to win a copy of these beauties! I have just start to dip my feet into the amazing world of foundation piecing and these would make awesome appliance covers!
Very cute!

Such a darling set! Thanks so much for sharing!!

yes, they definitely make amazing projects with so much detail!
I would love to try something like this. Thanks for the chance.
They are just what I need to get me started! I love them - but haven't yet quite got up the courage to start. Thanks for the opportunity.
I AM terrified, but I've had those on my "hope to have the guts to make someday" wishlist for awhile now. Thank you for the giveaway!
I follow both ladies and they are super talented. Love this pattern. I too would make the coffee pot. Fun, fun!
Paper piecing scares me, too, but I want to make that mixer pattern into a cover bad enough that I might be game enough to try it.
I'd love to try my hand at paper piecing theses!
Never tried this before but I'd love to.
Well these are so cute I might have to PP too. I do it occasionally and it takes half the project to get back in the swing of it. Thanks for the fun gice aways Katy!
Those are adorable. Don't know if I could do it, though. Would be interesting to try.
I don't even know the difference between EPP and regular PP...
I would love to have a try at the blue kettle. Thank you for offering the patterns.

I too love english paper piecing but these are so cute i'm willing to try it.
Adorable! Maybe with a glass of vino (or 2, or 3?) I could do this. Would love to try!
Oh I am excited about this - I just printed a template to try my first machine-paper-piecing and these are so cute!

Definitely would love to get these patterns!

I haven't tried paper piecing yet but I really love these patterns.
The mixer has got to be my favorite. I've done paper piecing before, but nothing that involved or complicated.
I am a fan of both ladies and would love to try my hand at their patterns!
I'm starting to feel like a giveaway chasing fool, but you are all spoiling us rotten this week. How can we resist these super cute patterns.
Good luck with whatever your stress was yesterday :)
Ooh, I've had my eye on that teapot pattern, so lovely!

I love that due to Lynne and FQR, my love of paper piecing is back again :) The food mixer would rock big time in my kitchen
Never done paper piecing, but love to try with these patterns!
I am a HUGE baker and my stand mixer is always ready on my counter. Would love to try paper piecing to make that. Thanks for a great giveaway.
Fab patterns!
I love the mixer!
