I get a lot of joy from blogging and having an online community with my facebook group and those who read and comment on my blog.
It has been a long time since I've had a giveaway, so I'm calling this the 14 1/2 year blogaversary giveaway!
There is one pre-requisite: you must leave a comment on the blog.
I know many of you struggle with that but it shouldn't be difficult.
You can follow my step by step directions HERE (please try it)
It is important I have your email address so I can notify you if you are a winner.
I know there are many traveling so I'm going to leave this open until Sunday, August 27th. I'll draw a name then and announce a winner on Monday.
Good Luck and thanks for being a friend of mine!
not interested in giveaway but really the pleasure has been all mine...love following your quilty and travel adventures and oh those pix of the great northwest!

Look at all these comments! You have certainly earned yourself a following over these many years. Happy blog anniversary. I have been following along on this journey for about 12.5 of your 14.5 years, and it has been delightful. From your doll quilt SALs, to your swaps, and all of the little videos and teaching moments, I have appreciated and enjoyed it all. And it was fun taking the Zoom class from you, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is also a treat to see the beautiful vistas from your hikes. Thanks for all you share with us.
I love the fabrics and congrats! Dani
