Lucky you - another giveaway!!

I am very excited to be hosting a giveaway for my friend Cheryl. I met Cheryl after I bought one of her designs and she asked me if I would like to go over future patterns and let her know what I thought of them... are you kidding me? I love doing it LOL! I'm going to let Cheryl tell you all about herself now.

_________________________________________________________________

My name is Cheryl and I live in Greenville, South Carolina with my two children (a little boy who is 5 years old and in kindergarten and a little girl who is 3 (and loves playing with my fabrics almost as much as I do)), husband, dog, and a cat. When my daughter was a toddler she needed a quilt for her crib. I had always wanted to try quilting so with the help of hours spent learning through blogs, I made my first quilt and have not stopped quilting since then.
I have a degree in chemical engineering and part time as a patent agent for a private company that makes specialty textiles, chemicals, and carpeting. In my job I work with inventors to figure out what their inventions are, draft patent applications, and then fight to the patents to issue in the US and all around the world. I love math and technical writing which is why I think that drafting quilt patterns is one of the most enjoyable parts of quilting to me. I recently joined the Greenville modern quilt guild and the Foothills traditional quilt guild and am loving having interaction with other quilters and also spend a lot of time reading quilt blogs.
I have an etsy store (www.MeadowMistDesigns.etsy.com) selling my quilt designs and sewing accessories.  To celebrate the launch of my newest two patterns I am having a celebration sale.  All patterns are on sale for $6 from the normal $8, a 3 pack of patterns is on sale for $15, and I am offering free shipping on all sewing accessories from April 7th-17th.

Cheryl has decided that she would like to offer two of you, PDF copies of both of her new designs.
The Quilt in the Hat
 
Charming
 
Cheryl's patterns are very clear, thorough and just plain fun to make. I think you will love them as much as I do!
 
How to win? I would like you to visit Cheryl's store and let me know what you like best. To ensure that you actually went, please leave the link of the item in your comment :) This giveaway will end on Friday night (April 12) and I will announce the winner on Saturday! Good luck!!

  4. I love her patterns, but my eye was caught by the Sewing Accessories Sets http://www.etsy.com/listing/125876448/sewing-accesories-set-sew-stitchy?ref=shop_home_feat. Didn't see patterns for those though! Thanks for the chance!

  5. I think my favourite is probably Adding Up Nicely, but I really like the Charming one as well. I think the orange fabric she used in AUN kind of won me over though!
