One of my favorite quilts that I have made is one that I gave to my mother - to see it click here.
We'll be going to visit that quilt...oh yah, and also my mother...and my mother-in-law today.
It's a great day to celebrate all the loving and nurturing women we are privileged to have in our life!
And so it's also the perfect day to finally post my 500th blog post giveaway!
Thank you to each of you who come by to read about my quilting adventures, and who regularly give me feedback and encouragement. It's always amazing to me when I am in quilting stores and people say hello, tell me they read my blog, and ask me questions about my projects, or tease me about things I have written. On Thursday I met a woman who was in a class I taught last year (Hi Trudy...if you're reading today!) who thanked me for writing this blog!
Each of you enrich my life with your humour and ideas, and I can't even imagine my life without blogging now!
There are 4 gifts...one of the winners will get the above mini quilt that I made from the kit that the Ice House Quilt shop in Grayling gave out to shop hop customers (see it hanging on the wall in the photo on this blogpost); 1 winner will get a package of 4 sewing theme Fat Quarters, and 2 readers will receive these cute kits for paper pieced blocks. Leave a comment on this post and I'll put your name in for the draw which will take place some time later this week.
Happy Mother's Day and happy blog reading!
Happy Mother's Day, Kathy! Enjoy your visit with your Moms and cherise everyday you can still call her or visit. I miss my Mom alot. Please enter me in your drawing. I would love to win the mini quilt or anything you chose to buy. I so need a shopping trip to a "real" fabric store. I do alot of online looking, but getting to actually see and feel is much better. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day! I have been enjoying your saturday sampler and just followed the link to the patten for the Manhattan star block. Thanks for pointing me to a great site - love all the star blocks there.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice quilt. Would love to have it on hand as a small table topper in July. And thanks, Kathy for stopping by my blog to view my last quilt made.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 500th posting! You've probably inspired at least that many quilters! Missed you at guild last night. The speaker brought fabric to sell - so since you're "shopped out" it's not that terrible that you missed it! Except for seeing all your quilting friends of course!
