Blogiversary Giveaway

The New Year marks 5 years since I started blogging.  What started as Journaling of my quilting adventure has brought me to over 1000 posts written, and 550,000 page views!! As a "Thank You" to my readers and followers, and in appreciation for all of your kind comments, it seems appropriate to have a little giveaway!

First up -


Everyone loves Denyse Schmidt's fabrics, so Two 1/2 yards and a fat quarter of DS Quilt Collection fabrics and a copy of "Circle Quilts"  book using strip piecing.

Next -

I ended up with two copies of this Incredible Thread-a-Bowl books.  So I am offering this as a second prize.  I will throw in a couple of spools of thread for you to get started :-)

And lastly -


A fun car decal in Winter White by Kati cupcake.  It measures 5 1/2" x 12".  

If you would like any of these prizes to show up in your mail box, just leave a comment.  You can tell me where you live or how the weather is in your area.   If you have a prize preference just tell me in your comment.  Otherwise I will award the first prize to the first winner, second to the second name etc, etc....  If you follow my blog, you may leave a SECOND comment, telling me how you follow and you will have a second entry :-)  I MUST have a way to contact you.  If you are a no-reply, leave your email address.  There were over 100 no-reply comments on my last giveaway!  If you are not sure, you can check out Karen's instructions HERE.

Giveaway will close on Saturday.  I will post the winners on my blog and contact them by email.  I must have a response by January 22 or a new winner will be drawn.

Thanks so much for following along on my little blog.  It has been great fun to meet so many creative people and if you are a new reader, know that I appreciate you coming along on my journey.  

Happy Quilting!!

    Congratulations on hitting such a remarkable milestone. Today it's bright and sunny but it's still only 40 degrees. Only another six or seven weeks until the temps start going up. I would pick the Circle Quilts and fabric.
