500 Posts Giveaway!

I was reading on somebody's blog the other day that after 900 posts they still had stuff to talk about. I thought that was funny and I guess I am feeling the same way. I jumped right in and had no idea where I was going. I've sure had a fun time and met some wonderful people. I appreciate you leaving comments. It also lets me visit your blog as well. (if you have one)
Ready for a giveaway? I hope these are not too lame.

 A repurposed little quilt from an antique top.
 Another one just a little bit bigger.

 I bought this book a year ago thinking I would make something from it. Nope, I think I have opened it twice.
I liked this book so much I have two on my shelf! New, never used!!  (why do we do that?!)

OK, so to enter the giveaway please leave a comment. If you'd like to be a friend of Humble Quilts please click on the link at the upper right of the blog. It isn't necessary though to win.
Put in your comment what order you'd like to win. I will not take offense if you'd rather have the books then the little quilts.
I'll draw four winners Saturday night.

Thank you all so much for visiting my humble blog on the net!!

    Congratulations on 500 posts! I always enjoy your blog. I really like your simple repurposed quilts. Your hand quilting looks lovely. The prints are interesting as well. I wonder what else was made with the fabric back when it was purchased - it has history :0)
    I hope you have 100's more posts and many, many more projects to share!

    Oh, Lori, what beautiful little quilts. Actually, since I don't applique, machine or otherwise, and can't work with wool, the little quilts are all I would be interested in.
    Congrats on your 500th post. Looking forward to hundreds more!!

    A little quilt for me. I have both books. I may not have the machine applique book still on the shelf but did have it. And I have bought the same book or pattern more than once. I don't know why we do that.
    Having a blog is so much fun. I never would have met you had it not been for blogging.

    Congrats on your 100th post. I have had to temporarily suspend my blog due to my Mac's new operating system not allowing me to post. DH promised he would get it resolved, but it's been months and so far, no luck. (of course, he hasn't started yet). HA

    I'd love to win one of the little quilts, I think they are so sweet and love to think of the hands who made the antique quilts and of course, yours that re-made them.

    Make it a good day!
