Blog anniversary giveaway

Group #1
Nearing the end of my third year of blogging, I know how different my quilting life would be if I hadn't started this.  As a thank you for the inspiration and encouragement and friendships that have come my way, I'm having a giveaway.

Please leave a comment here to enter.   No hoops to jump through;  no extra steps to follow to be eligible.  If you leave a comment, you'll have one chance to win.

However, I must have a way to contact you. If you're a "no reply" blogger or have no blog, include your e-mail address in the comment to be eligible.  I'll draw the winners' names next Monday, February 6, at 4 p.m. CST.   I will ship internationally. 

Group #2
Please tell me your preference -- group #1 or  group #2, or either. 

Group #1 includes:  twelve 10-inch WOF cuts of Civil War era repro fabrics;  22 100-yard spools of all-purpose Gutermann thread;  2012 Barn Quilts calendar by Suzi Parron (who has a book soon to be published); the book Quilter's Stories by Deb Rowen; and two individual classic patterns from Country Threads.

Group #2 includes:  eight 1/2-yard cuts of Denyse Schmidt fabrics (from JoAnn's);  22 100-yard spools of all-purpose Gutermann thread;  two Little Bits tissue foundation patterns by Cindi Edgerton;  the book Quiltmaker's Fancy;  McCall's Scrap Quilts magazine, winter 2011/2012 issue;  and three individual patterns (2 Country Threads and 1 by Debbie Caffrey).

Good luck.
NOTE:  This giveaway is now closed.  Winners were selected and announced on Feb. 6, 2012.

Congratulation with your blog anniversary. I enjoy visiting your blog, when I see, you have posted.
This is a very generous give away and I find it most difficult to choose a group, because I like both of them. But if I have to choose, I will say #1, being a repro fabric lover.
Regards,
Anne-Mette

I saw several brown and pink quilts at Houston IQF this year, so I am drawn to the frist grouping

Mary said...

Happy Blog Anniversary! As a non-blogger, I really appreciate all the effort that bloggers make. I enjoy reading them and keep thinking I should take the plunge and start my own, but just don't think anyone would want to read it!
The prizes are both awesome and I would be tickled pink to win either one. Thanks so much for a chance to win.

Andra Gayle said...

Congratulations! WOW! What great gifts you have! Any of us would be thrilled to have either one but that group one looks like it was made up for me! I LOVE your pink lemonade quilt. I might have to start one of those, myself (as I slap myself for even thinking of something other than a UFO)!

Karen said...

Oh congrats on your anniversary. I hope we get to meet one day, I feel like I've come to know you and your beautiful quilts. Well, you know I spied that pink so I would choose #1. Thanks so much for sharing. And I' don't have a 2012 calendar so I could sure use that -I know it's already Feb. :)!!
