Thank You & A Giveaway

THANK YOU to all those people who have visited my blog and to those who have left heartwarming comments since I started this blog 19 days ago. When I started it I said that it didn't matter if no-one visited because I wanted to keep this blog as a bit of a journal for myself of how I improve over time, but your comments and encouragement have really meant a lot to me :)

A special THANK YOU also to my wonderful sister Kate who sent many of you over my way. She is not only inspirational to me as a quilter but also as a big sister and friend!!

Now I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to winning giveaways, but I think that hosting one must be just as fun if not more so than winning one :)

So to say thank you and to celebrate going double digits (yes this is post number 10 hehe) here's your chance to get a bit of fabric love .....



Either a panel of "Once Upon a Time" by Alexander Henry - with 16 very cute prints as shown above or ....


A very sweet "Strawberry Lemonade" charm pack by Me & My Sister Designs.


Here's a picture of a few prints that you'll find in the charm pack ....

There will be 2 winners randomly drawn on Tuesday the 28th September 2010. The first winner has first choice of which fabric they'd like. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment . That's it! Good luck!!

  5. I love the QAYG blocks. I'm going to attempt doing that on my next quilt. I, too, came via Kate's blog. And I'm very glad I did. I really admire all you bloggers giving so much time and effort to share with the world. This will be fun!

  6. Found your blog via your sisters Kate the other day and was very impressed by your QAYG blocks, the plain colours really make the panels 'pop'. I participated in the QAYG quilt along and found it a fun way to put a quilt together. Looking forward to seeing all your future projects!

  33. Welcome to the wonderful land of Blog! I am from Washington DC area, and I was sent over here by your sister's blog. Your blog is awesome. I love the fact that you are only 20 some odd days old. I can say in 15 years when I'm still following your blog, that I was following the blog from the very beginning (or close to it). Thank you for the lovely giveaway!
