Good Morning All!! I have a few things to announce and then it is on to the giveaway :)
First, If you are quilting-a-long with us keep getting that fabric together. Last I heard everyone needs a few more days to gather fabric. I think I will start the cutting instructions on Monday. If that won't work for you just send me an email :)
Second, Voting for the Love Nest Contest begins at Gen X Quilters today. If you get a chance, head on over and cast your vote for your favorite. :) This was my entry. Anne Marie has done a great job lining this all up and I am sure she would appreciate everyones support by voting for your favorite :)
Third, I know I haven't posted any Block-A-Palooza blocks recently and that's because I haven't made any. I am a little behind, but never fear, I will get caught up and post them soon :)
Okay, On to the giveaway. I have to say, I am major blown away!!!! I just closed the 300 follower giveaway 2 1/2 weeks ago and yesterday (or the day before possibly) Happy Quilting made it to 400 followers!!! Yippee Skippee!!! I just can't begin to explain how excited and happy I am that there are so many people out there interested in my little quilting corner of the web :)
So, to say Thank you, we are going to have another giveaway!!! I thought I would do something a little different since we just had a fabric giveaway. Remember my amazing friend that designed my blog?? We'll she also makes cards!!! Amazing, creative, adorable, original cards!!!! She recently moved (Le sigh for me) and was cleaning out some of her card stash and was kind enough to give them to me.
So I thought I would share :) Up for grabs is a set of amazing handmade, adorable cards :) And since we are celebrating 400 followers we will have 4 winners!!! So, on to the nitty gritty.
Since this is a follower giveaway celebration you have to be a follower to win. So if you are a follower just leave me a comment. Anything will do :)
If you are not a follower, simply click on the Follow button either on the left hand column of the blog or on the navigation bar on the top of the blog. After doing that just leave a comment. Anything will do :)
I will end the giveaway on the evening of the 17th and announce the 4 winners on Friday morning, the 18th :) (oh, and just FYI, I will be checking to make sure you are following, it's only fair :) Good Luck and Happy Quilting!!!
The cards are gorgeous! I'm always looking for a good card, and this would do the trick. Congrats on 400 :) (I follow on GFC)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching 400 followers! I don't know how you do it - life is so busy, I can't imagine keeping up with a blog, quilting, and all the other things that life throws your way. But I really appreciate it - your posts give me ideas for my many crafty endeavors (I don't quilt - yet - but I take some of these ideas and use them to embellish my own stuff). It's so fun to create - isn't it?!!
ReplyDeleteOh my Goodness those cards are adorable, she is very talented, as a quilter who came from scrapbooking background, these are amazing, 4 very lucky winners!!
