100 Giveaway


** THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO ENTERED!! **

I was blown away to look at the follower counter on my blog this afternoon and see the number "100." I only started blogging at the end of last December with this entry and the quilt that you see above you. At the time I could never have imagined what a blessing it would all turn out to be. There are so many wonderful things I've been able to do and learn through the online sewing community, and I'm so grateful to those of you who have come along on the journey with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.


But to say thank you in a more tangible, concrete, how-about-some-free-stuff sort of way...let's have a giveaway! I've pulled some goodies from my stash to send off to one lucky winner. Worldwide entries are welcome -- I haven't forgotten my promise to hold a giveaway that includes my international friends! Up for grabs are a dozen charm squares including prints from Half Moon Modern, Salt Air, Circa 1934, and Good Fortune. I also tucked in some Kona solid strips and a fat quarter from the Flora collection. I have no doubt that a few more treats will be added to the pile before this gets mailed away. To enter, just leave a comment on this post. I'll choose a winner on Friday morning. Please do make sure that you're not a no-reply blogger when you leave your comment; I hate having to disqualify someone because I can't get in touch with them!

Thanks again to all of you who have given me so much encouragement over the past few months. You guys are the best.
