I'm Back! with a Blog Hop Party Giveaway!

I cannot believe it's been an entire month since I've blogged! If you are just stopping by for the first time, WELCOME! :) We just moved to Florida, and moving in and getting settled is definitely a process. ;) I figure the Blog Hop Party with Quilting Gallery would be a fun way to get back into blogging. :)




If you haven't heard of this event before, you can visit THIS PAGE and see all the participating blogs, and enter all the giveaways.

So what can you win here today?

A pattern bundle! 

You pick any three patterns!
(and combination of patterns: paper piecing or my Grandma's Lawn Chair quilt pattern, or mini stocking, etc.)


 You can find all available patterns on Craftsy or on Etsy.




To enter, use the Rafflecopter below. I will pick a winner on the 27th. 





Thanks for stopping by!! 
Good luck on all the giveaways! 
and may you all win something. :)

  2. When I lived in California, I often spent my (November) birthday in Lake Tahoe. My dream birthday would be to go back and do it one more time.

  3. Congratulations! I haven't blogged in ages (thanks Instagram) either, so good for you doing it again - so much work.
    My dream birthday your hubs probably wouldn't be into. I'd get to sleep as late as I wanted. Someone would have come and cleaned the house the day before so there'd be no housework at all. Then I'd get to sew all day, stopping only to nap in the afternoon. Somehow Pok Pok ( the best thai restaurant ever) would manage to deliver takeout toy house 12 hours and one country away. Then a true blood or downton with chocolate!

  4. Dream birthday would be to go to an all-you-can-eat dessert buffet with wonderful desserts - none of the store-bought stuff . Or, a relaxing massage with meditation afterwards.

  11. Going away somewhere! My birthday is in Oct (middle of hunting season) and my husband is an avid hunter so we are always "celebrating" my birthday in December (tell me again why hunting season has to last over 2 months, lol!) so it would be super nice to actually go away somewhere on my birthday.

  14. When I was younger my mother used to throw me the most wonderful little birthday parties where my family and friends would all come over for a homemade party. We would have a homemade cake and lots of food made by my mom!
    My mother passed away 2 years ago so the most wonderful birthday I could have would be one of those good homemade by mommy parties!
    Happy Birthday to your husband :-)
    Thanks for the chance, Jessica
