I'd actually love to try EPP. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
My blog is http://colleenquiltstoo.blogspot.ca
I would like to try Paper piecing. I love your blog. So nice to have found you! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have just started paper piecing from a kit I bought at Sew Sisters. So much fun. I have also had my eye on the book you mention. It is on my Christmas list so hopefully it will inspire me to learn a new technique. (Pinehavencreations@rogers.com)
I have been wanting to try EPP for a while so this kit would be perfect! Thanks for this giveaway!
Hi :) What a lovely prize! I would love to try needleturn applique. My blog is lethargiclass.blogspot.com and I am from Ottawa :)
I love Ontario! It has my favorite lake in it! I would love to try EPP with other shapes then hexies.
I am just getting into hexies, so your give away is awesome! I would one day like to try curved seams like a drunkard's path block - but I'm a big chicken! Thanks for the give away!
I would love to try hexies! my blog is www.natilittlethings.blogspot.com
Thanks for sharing and the giveaway!
I have never done English paper piecing, it was one of the few techniques still to do. Thank you for hosting this part of our blog hop now on to visit the other ON blogs. forbesrj@shaw.ca
I've been wanting to better my EPP skills so this kit would be perfect! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Someday I would like to try EPP. Hopefully my fingers will work well enough someday to try. :)
What a sweet give-away. :) I've just started learning EPP and I would love to try the glue stick. :) My blog is www.threadcatcher.blogspot.com. Would love to have you come and visit. :)
I have not tried EPP piecing yet, but I have been tempted to. It is so portable, and I have to do a lot of waiting around for kids at school and after school events, and it would give me something to do with my hands. What a great giveaway!
beaniekins84(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks for the very generous giveaway. I have done a little EPP and like it.
I think one thing I would like to learn is curved piecing. It looks a little tricky.
Thank you so much Cara for a chance at the give-away. I've never done "hexies" & am a bit intimidated. I would really love to try these & if I won this kit, I would have to forge ahead!!! I really enjoy your blog & glad that this Blogathon has showcased so much Canadian talent. Now my "bookmarks" are never ending!!!

I have never done paper piecing of hexes. A long long time ago I did one block of paper piecing to go in a quilt I gave away. It would be fun to try again.

I ould like to try Drunkards path but never seem to get round to it.
I'd love to learn English paper piecing. I recently tackled set-in circles, which has been on my bucket list for some time.
I've never done EPP with a glue stick, but would like to try it. For 2013, one technique that I'm wanting to learn/improve is working with Y seams. I have the basic knowledge, but still fear them! Can you help?

I love machine applique, but would like to try hand applique. I have a project ready...just not started yet.
I am currently working on an EPP baby blocks charm quilt (diamonds) that's been going for about 20 years... The point isn't so much to finish as to have some pottable handwork nearby for whenever I need something to do! I'd like to learn how to do machine applique (properly!).
I would love to learn paper piecing. I need some hexies in my life!
EPP is one of the tecnhiques on my list! I'm actually on a one-crafter mission to try all crafts/techniques out there, so it'd be too many to list here! I do have a list on my blog.

I've only done hexies and very few diamonds, but I would love to try a star with diamonds and hexies.
Thanks for hosting!
I would like to learn to appliqué or to paper piece. Thanks for the chance.
I have never done English Paper Piecing, so there you have it, a new skill I'd like to try. I am not fond of hand sewing, but after reading Cathi's blog (your fellow Ontario-an quilter at Quilt Obsession) I have a renewed interest in hand piecing.
Thanks, too, for the review of what looks like a great book. I need to head to the bookstore to check it out!
Wow, I would love to try EPP, thanks for a chance to win!

I would love to learn how to make hexies.

I'm just learning how to EPP so this would be perfect! Thanks so much for the giveaway, Cara and for linking to my blog. :) Looking forward to following along on your blog!
I would love to have more than one lesson on paper piecing. I feel intimidated by it but love the end result! I follow your Facebook page! awolk at rogers dot com
I love to learn how to paper piece. I know it is not all that difficult, but I'd like to learn that technique.
Hi cara. I love EPP. Thanks
I haven't tried paper piecing yet but winning this giveaway would almost force me to try wouln't it? LOL Those hexies are all over blogland now and the quilts are all so interesting.
Oh, yippee! I have just started making hexxies...So nice to have found you Cara and I will indeed be back! You don't have to twist my arm to follow you ;) (mindji@yahoo.com)
i would love to learn to paper peirce
Hi Cara,
I am not sure how good I would be at Hexies but I do admire the work that others have made with them. It would not be a big project if I did hexies. Did you see the lady that made one with 61,000 hexies as a bed sized quilt. That is a lot of little pieces.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods,
Regards from Edmonton,
Anna
The new thing I want to try is quilting freehand feathers.
Thanks for the great blog, and for the chance to win! I can't find your button to follow your blog. I don't want to follow on facebook; is there another way to follow you? ~ Linne (maelinne@hotmail.com)
Oh, I'd love to learn English Paper Piecing!

I'm having a great time discovering new quilt bloggers. I would like to try applique using back basting.

I love EPP! It is so addictive isn't it? Beautiful fabric and my girlfriend was just telling me about a thimble (like shown) and how much she liked it. I'd like to learn to paper piece. There are so many neat patterns that I'd love to try.

I first tried EP this spring and I fell hook line and sinker for it! Love the giveaway - thank you!
Thanks Cara, EPP would be something new. I do love applique though.

Hi! I just learned how to make mandalas (RaNae Merrill) - that was a technique i've wanted to learn for a long time!
Hey Cara! Thanks for posting the link to my blog! Love your EPP giveaway - I bought my Quilt Patis EPP templates from Sew Sisters a while back. The technique I would like to try is applique - never done it and that has to change. See you on #talknt!
I want to try and learn FMQ. I'm a little intimidated to try... but I'm still a quilting newbie. And I'll get there eventually! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
I would like to do some more appliqué. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'd love to learn EPP, very scary getting into it.. seems so much more difficult then to just cut and stich. :\, but it's one of the things that I've set up for myself to learn in the upcoming year.. :)
I love Sew Sisters
I love hexies. The giveaway would be great addition to work with. Thanks for chance to win.

Hey, Cara, today I was thinking about trying some reverse applique.
I think I would like to try hand piecing some blocks. Thank you for the chance to win paper piecing supplies!
Well you totally started the EPP with last weeks Talking Tuesday's! Besides that I would love to learn the embroidery function on this machine before I sell it.
I'd love to try EPP - haven't tried it yet, only done hand piecing of blocks. Thanks for the chance!
I've never paper pieced before so that's on the list. I'd also really like to learn how to free motion quilt, I've only ever done straight line. Thanks for the giveaway and chance to win.
I'm already a follower! :) I'd like to try machine-piecing of hexagons (someday) to do BIG hexagons, but the little handwork hexies keep me pretty happy lately, too!
Hexies are on my short list of new to me techniques for the upcoming year. Winning a starter kit would certainly bump that to the top! Good luck all.
What a great giveaway!!! I love to paper piece and would love to do a little art quilt using this method!
I would like to try EPP. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm registered in a sexy hexy course starting in January, so this is a very timely prize. I'm curious about paper piecing (I've never done it), so that is what I'd like to try the most.
Great giveaway! I'd love to have a go!!!
I'd love to try free motion quilting, but I've also never done EPP. i'd love to be included. debgiro at wildblue dot net
