Joni Pike’s Cute as a Button Giveaway!

Cute as a Button Quilts author, Joni Pike, has her own line of adorable quilt patterns with button packs through her company Sew Special Designs. Joni was motivated to create Sew Special Designs in 2001. She had made her first quilt from her own original design and a quilt shop employee asked  for the pattern. “All patterns are my own copyrighted original designs. I take color and simple embellishments to a new level, creating whimsical, one-of-a-kind quilt designs and quilt patterns. Designed for quilters of all skill levels, patterns include accurate, easy to follow instructions and full size pattern templates,” said Pike.

Joni is giving away 6 quilt patterns with button packs and a copy of her book Cute as a Button Quilts. Here are just a few of the quilt designs included in the prize pack:

SSD777

SSD795s

SSD806

All patterns come with Specialty buttons dyed to coordinate with Sew Special Designs Quilt Patterns.

    I made the cute cat to send as a block exchange to Australia. My “quiltpal” was so excited to get it. This books has some great patterns and ideas and is easy to do.

    They are all rather special but my favourite is Garden Girls. Some very funky and bright patterns here. Congratulations on the designing. Happy days.

    All the designs look great, but I’m partial to the cat designs. As such, I must say the cat designs are my favorite. They are purrfect and I’d love to make one.

    Frosty Flakes is of course the cuties. But I also think they all are in their own ways.

    Even though I liked the Catnip and S’NOEL Quilt patterns, I think my favorite is the Krismas Kats.

    Like the cat one, you see that cute blue bird? how about a whole quilt with birds like that. to cute, hmm, maybe I should give that whirl

  26. Posted September 29, 2009 at 6:43 pm | Permalink

    Wow! what great designs. I love them. Especially Frosty Flakes. The cat quilts are really cool but us dog lovers (especially weiner dogs) need some cuties too. Keep up the great work. I’m glad I paid a visit.

    The Frosty Flakes quilt is absolutely my favorite. I love the little “peeky” snowmen. I work in a childrens library, and the children would just love a quilt like this hanging on the wall. There is a different view every place that you look.

    The funny thing is that I detest winter but this quilt full of snowmen makes me smile.

    Hugs, Donna

    Krazy Heartz is great. It can be an all season quilt & Hearts are so important & mean so many different meaningful things in our lives at any age.

    I love CATNIP. I made it for my husband and it hangs in the living room where he can see it! Doesn’t really go with my decor, but he has several things in that room that doesn’t go with my decor. Oh well, he lives there, too.

    I had a hard time choosing between Krismas Cats, Catnip and Hot Dogs, but was won over by the kitty reindeer, hehehe – so my favorite design is Krismas Kats :)

    Thank you for such a generous giveaway – best of luck to everyone who enters!

    All of the patterns are real cute and I believe it depends on the recipient of the quilt – but I think the Krismas Cats is my favorite one.

  70. Posted October 1, 2009 at 4:29 am | Permalink

    hard to chose….I love the frosty flake tree skirt
    just adorable , I would make mine in plaids though to give it a real country/traditional feel I love.
    I collect snowmen tree ornaments so this fits right in with my tree theme
    thanks
