In celebration of my thousandth post, I'm having a giveaway. I'm preparing to start working on a new quilt, which I can't share for a while yet, but Eleanor and I are very excited about it. I've ordered some wide fabric to paint myself, and some special stencils to go with it. And amongst others, I will be using the quilting pattern drawn below:
To enter the giveaway, all you need to do is comment, guessing the famous design source of my quilting pattern. In exactly a week, I will randomly pick a winner, who will receive a bundle of fabrics totalling 3-5 metres, all linked to the quilt design. (I've been collecting them for a while, as the design concept simmered away at the back of my mind, but many won't make it into the final quilt.) I'll also include a copy of Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine with one of my designs.
GIVEAWAY CLOSED Winner and answer announced here.

Hey Emma, its a fence? Or a Roman column of some kind??! Congrats on your 1,000th! I'm up to 896!
Congratulations!!
Is it Rennie Mackintosh???
Great giveaway!
a garden gate maybe?
It looks like a garden gate to me, as well. I'm not very well versed on quilting designs yet (just starting), but have been following your blog for a few months now. You do such beautiful work!
It look like the bars gate.
CONGRATS ON 1000!
IT LOOKS LIKE A GARDEN GATE!
THANKS FOR SHARING A GREAT GIVEAWAY!

Well I tried to cheat by dropping it into google images and all it came up with was graphs and some how I don't think that's it! (just goes to show, cheat doesn't pay!) Looks like gates to a grand park or cemetery
I believe that the design source is none other than Frank Lloyd Wright!
Your drawing is a very pretty gate, but I sure don't know which one! I even Googled "famous gate designs" and didn't find any that look like your pretty one. Well, I hope you find a deserving winner! Congratulations on 1000 posts. My goodness. That's a lot!
I'm thinking a zoo - probably due to Madagascar 3 in the school holidays and countless readings of 'Mr McGee and the big bag of bread'.
(Don't feed the animals, the noticeboard said, But Mr McGee had a big bag of bread....)
The question is not simple. The gates are small. Maybe it is the gateway to your garden?
Congratulations to the 1000 post. A very interesting blog.

It looks like a garden gate to me, but I don't recognize it as being from someplace famous. Congrats on a thousand posts -- that's fantastic, Emma! Wow!
I'm thinking some kind of gate too....but I really have no idea. Thanks for the giveaway :-)
I would say Frank Lloyd Wright or maybe even Tiffany???? Congrats on your landmark posting.
I have no clue! I think maybe a gate to a garden too? In the city? Overseas? I am keen to find out more! Congratulations on 1000 posts!
Wow!
Congrats on 1,000 posts!! That seems so far away for me. I have no idea since I don't travel, but I'll guess Buckingham Palace - they look like very formal gates. Thanks for sharing.
I'll never guess, but I just wanted to say, I love how you look at everything in terms of how it can be turned into a quilt design, some very special eyes you have there :o)
First I said: It look like the bars gate.
But now I think it could be a garage door with two hinge on each side.
I have no idea other than it is some kind of metal gate, fence or window bar. Pretty, though
Is it the White House fence? Love your designs.
