Please pray

 

All major airports and military airfields have been bombed in Ukraine. Please pray for the people. 

We have friends living there. Here is a short update from yesterday.

Hello! Winner

 I notified the winner of my giveaway by email (she does not seem to have a blog), but have not heard back. Check your spam folders. If she does not contact me by tomorrow I will draw a new winner. 

Thanks so much for all the sweet comments. It's very encouraging to know you are still reading.

Take a tour

 When I started blogging 13 years ago I mostly blogged about quilting, thrifting and my home. Things have really changed over the years, but here are a few significant blog posts.

My little beauty

We moved into a new home.

I started a second blog. Moving all of the home, thrifting and travel.

Our home away from home.

Quilting and giveaways!

Florida

And of course - quilts!

I hope you enjoyed this little tour, and if you are interested (and have the time to browse), take a look around. 

Let me know what you think :-)

Happy Quilting.

Another look

Thanks so much for all the encouraging comments. It is nice to know there are still folks enjoying reading the blogs. 

So here is another look at the giveaway prize.

Some of the fabric from the bundle has Tacos! What would you make with these fun fabrics?

Be sure to leave a comment on Saturday's post. HERE is the link. 

Happy Quilting.

Happy Blogiversary

On February 19, 2009 I started blogging. I really didn't know a lot about blogging but had been following the Pioneer Woman, and thought I would give it a try. My goal was to journal my quilting adventure. Things have really changed in 13 years. A lot of bloggers are gone, as well as quilt shops. Comments are down, as I think many bloggers have gone over to Facebook and Instagram. But I have learned a lot from the bloggers who have sustained over the years. 

 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!

A fat quarter bundle and some matching fabric. 

To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment.  You can tell me where you live or how the weather is in your area.  Or you can let me know how long you have been reading my blog.  This giveaway is open to US residents only due to shipping costs.   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 Wednesday February 23.  I will post the winners on my blog and contact them by email.  I must have a response by February 25 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!!

I hope you enjoyed the Tickled Pink Blog Hop. The link has been updated so you can go right to the PDF file. Sorry for the inconvenience. I had to have my daughter help with the link, but it should work fine now.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for my Blogiversary celebration :-)
