Giveaway Week: My Blogiversary!

***This Giveaway is now Closed***


Ok, so it is totally NOT my blogiversary. But it was! In August. of last year. I kind of missed it. :) Anyway, I think that's what I like about blogging. You can do it if you want, or don't do it if you don't. Or take a break when you need it. But it's totally worth it, and has been worth it! I can't believe all the good friends I've made through blogging (and flickr and swaps)! It's also been such a great outlet, and a blessing to be able to keep my sanity through all the joys of raising small children. :) (which I love, but sometimes can be crazy. let's be honest.) :)

It's been fun to reflect on how my blog has evolved. It started out crafty. Then I took a break. Then I remember when I first found some great quilting blogs (Stitched in Color, Freshly Pieced, Canoe Ridge Creations, Don't Call Me Betsy). I remember feeling like I was sitting on the sidelines dreaming about being a part of the quilting community. And now look at me! I've been in awesome swaps, Bees, have lots of great quilting friends. :) It's been a blast!! Thanks for making it a great experience!! :)

giveaway week

Anyway, welcome to Day 2 of Giveaway Week!  Yesterday's giveaway is here. And if you missed it, there will be a giveaway each day this week. :)

So to celebrate a year of blogging, and blogging in general... here's what I'm going to giveaway:

50876670760421724.jpg


A charm pack of Denyse Schmidt's Hope Valley! (this charm pack is carefully cut from fabric in my stash, just so you know.) That is 24 - 5" x 5" beautiful squares of fabric. One of each print. This giveaway pick is definitely inspired by the rerelease of Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy (oh how I want it! Can I get some Aunt Edna's too please?!) ;)



Want to know how you can enter? 
(there are 3 possible entries - leave a separate comment for each)

  • Leave a comment telling me what you love about blogging (or reading blogs), or an awesome experience you've had through blogging! :)
  • Follow my blog and leave a separate comment to let me know that you do.
  • Blog, facebook, or tweet about this giveaway and leave a separate comment telling me you did.

This giveaway will be open until Monday March 26th 2012. 
I will pick a winner that evening.

***This Giveaway is now Closed***


Again, make sure to come back tomorrow, and each day this week to see all the other giveaways! 
And don't miss the Traveling Stash Giveaway here! (it ends tomorrow!)


p.s. leave your email if you are a no-reply blogger. I've gotten a few of you without emails! If I have no way to get ahold of you, then I will pick a new winner. Sorry!

    I love reading blogs because it's a great way to see what quilters from all over the world are up to. I like seeing their new projects and following along with them if its a WIP. I get a lot of inspiration from blogs and am often bookmarking pages with tutorials or random projects to have a go at later!.

    I love blogging because I am "meeting" people who love to sew like me. I'm kinda a loner in that. My sister really wants to, but she has a 1yr old and a full time job. I have been in her boat. It's hard to find time. We sewed together while she was prego. We made her babies bumper pad, sheets, and a quilt. She asked me to help, because she was very inexperienced(not that I'm a pro). I told her that was fine, but she HAD to do the quilt. One, because I already made one for baby Liam, and 2 because I knew the satisfaction she would have knowing she made her first quilt for her first baby. I wish you could have seen the excitement on her face when she completed it. It was priceless!! Ummmm, I kinda veered off the blogging question....oops!

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    I love blogging and reading blogs. It is a great way to get inspiration from around the world and a make new friends. We also used it to keep in touch with everyone when we went on a 2 week trip out west. It was a great way to write everything down so you wouldn't forget and everyone would know what was happening. I may even start a quilting blog of my own one day.

    I read a lovely selection of quilting, crafting and sewing blogs and am debating about having my own blog. Last week I was asked to comment on someone's new blog and I thought it was really well designed and mentioned this- I got the loveliest, really long email from the blogger with lots of links and tips she had followed in setting up her blog- and she obviously spent quite some time putting this all together for me! It was so inspiring and such a sweet thing to do, a real random act of kindness.

We exchanged emails and had a great time meeting someone new. Plus the bonus of creating and gifting.
