One World - One Heart Event

Lisa has created a wonderful blog event called One World - One Heart and I have signed up for it. What is it? It is a way to connect with other creative bloggers around the world. Each participating blogger is offering a gift to one of their blog visitors. You can click on the One World - One Heart blog and see the growing list of over 400 wonderful blogs to visit and add your name to the amazing draws. It is incredible the gifts that are being offered...get a cup of tea and enjoy blog surfing!
I am giving away two of my mini quilts and all you have to do to have a chance to win one is to leave a comment on my blog. Late on February 13th, I will draw the lucky winners. You must either have your own blog, or leave me an email address where I can contact you if you win. And...since this is a world wide blogger event, if you tell me the area of the world where you are from, I will also send a gift to the blogger who is farthest away from me.

****New prize added****

Wow! I now have well over 100 comments registered, so I am adding another special gift for one lucky winner. My friend Judy makes these beautiful quilted fiber art pins and she has generously offered to give one away for this special One World - One Heart Event. Here is a photo of Judy's Valentine pin.


And the winners are:
* Hugs and Kisses Mini Quilt goes to Toni at 3 AM Designs
* Hearts Mini Quilt goes to Michele at Calico Daisy
* Heart Pin goes to Pat at Mille Fiori Favoriti
Congratulations!
I have one other name to pick...that of the person who lives farthest away from us, and I am getting my son to figure that out for me using the globe when he gets home from school. You know Moms...always looking for teachable moments!
Update: my son has decided that the winner of this prize is Michelle who lives in the Bay of Plenty, in New Zealand. I'm not sure if this is geographically accurate, but the point was for him to do a little geography research and let him pick the winner...so congratulations Michelle!

Hi Kathy ... please add my name to your giveaway. Love your blog ... have you on my desktop. Just finished reading your Quilting Grades. I am machine quilting a baby quilt and feel the same way. Laid out the backing, smoothed it out; taped it down; laid the batting down; smoothed it out; added the top; smoothed it out; pinned diligently and still bulches ... even puckers on the back. Keep up the good work! jr from guelph. (rowans@sympatico.ca)
