One World One Heart Blog Giveaway

Comments are now closed for this post. A drop earlier than originally planned, but I won't be able to do the drawing later. See the newest post for the winners.
 

Come join me on Lisa's One World One Heart Magic Carpet Ride of 2010! I had such a great time last year, I'm participating again. Last year there were over 900 participants from all over the world. This year is bound to go into the four digits. Click on the button below or in my sidebar to see the list of blogs for you to visit and to find out how to participate. You can still get in on it!

The purpose of the event is for creative bloggers around the world to get to know each other. One of the features is to post a giveaway to encourage comments in order to meet the people who comment on your blog.


I love couching yarns for embellishment on quilted items and I love making fabric postcards. So, I'm giving away the same thing I offered last year!


Two lucky winners will each win one of the two fabric postcards you see below, along with one yard lengths of about 30+ different yarns. Great for embellishing quilts, crazy quilting, scrapbooking, etc. Below you can see a photo of what the yarns look like. (Click on each photo to enlarge.)







The simple rules:


1. Leave a comment on this post. Comments on other posts are always welcome, but for this giveaway, only comments left on this post will count. I would love to know where you are from, but it's not required.
2. I need to be able to contact you if you are a winner. If your blogger profile does not lead to your email address, you must include your email address in your comment.
Update: MANY of the comments being left are by no-reply bloggers who are not leaving their email addresses in the comment. Please check your google or blogger profile to make sure your email address is enabled. 

3. Anonymous comments will only be counted if there is an email address included in the comment.
4. The event ends on Monday, February 15. I will use random.org to choose the winner after midnight, U.S. EST, at the end of February 15. 

Have fun and Good luck!

Red and white baby quilt back again

I recently finished embroidering the rest of the reverse redwork blocks for the red and white baby quilt that I started last year. Here are three of them. There are three more, but they will be a surprise when the quilt is finished. 




 I have thought about a setting, but am waiting for a book I ordered where the author used a similar setting for a quilt. Instead of figuring out how to do it myself, I may as well follow the instructions in the book. I'll tell you about that another time.



Check out Rhonda's giveaway at Patches and Peaches. She's giving away a Moda Soiree Honey Bun in honor of her sister's birthday! You have until January 29th to enter in three different ways.

How very generous of you. I've never tried the Quilt Show so I'd love to win your certificate!

I've been quilting since the late 60's, before rotary cutters, mats and all the cool rulers we have now.

Recent giveaway winnings, new giveaway

-
Reminder, don't forget to enter my blogiversary giveaway. Only comments made on the giveaway post will be counted towards the drawing, which will take place at the end of January 10.


I also won two Catnip Toys.  Who knew what a catnip toy was?!? Everyday GiveAwayToday sponsors one or more giveaways for other companies. One day last month they had a bunch of pot luck giveaways. You didn't know which one you would win. I don't have cats, so I thought I'd give it to someone who does. But, these things make cute ornaments to hang in my sewing room and they smell good. So, I'm keeping them.




Here's a giveaway I entered this week with beautiful batiks that I love to collect. Sue of Alderwood Quilts is also giving away a Ricky Tims pattern along with the batiks. You have until February 1 to enter.

Enjoy,

Debbie

My quilt in a book

First off, don't forget to enter my blogiversary giveaway. Only comments made on the giveaway post will be counted towards the drawing, which will take place at the end of January 10.




In January, 2007, Myrah Brown Green put out a call on the Quiltart list for people to make quilts for her soon to be published book. I answered the call and was sent some foundation paper piecing patterns that Myrah designed for the book. My quilt did make it into the book, which finally came out this past summer. The name of the book is Pieced Symbols: Quilt Blocks from the Global Village.




 




Don't forget about the giveaway! Good Luck

Debbie
