Look - it's me! |
I did it again - I missed celebrating my Blogiversary in January so I am celebrating now instead! Happy belated 2nd Blogiversary to me!!
This little blog started after I returned to the UK from a trip home to Canada for the Christmas holidays. When I was home I decided that I wanted a way to share the 'crafty shenanigans' that I was getting up to so my family could see how I spent my spare time [waves hello to family]. And here I am two years on and I still love blogging as a way of sharing! Thank you to everyone who pops in to look around, to those who follow by GFC, email and Bloglovin and to everyone who takes the time to comment - I appreciate each and every one of you!
Up for grabs is a crazy selection of scraps in mostly blues and purples - two fat quarters worth! I've also got Issue 2 of the Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine with bonus Tula Pink project book, a handmade finger pincushion with pins and some Aurifil Wool thread in a lovely blue. I will no doubt add something chocolately in as well!!
So, to enter my giveaway, please tell me anything but if you need an idea, how about your favourite blog to follow. This giveaway is open to anyone-anywhere. Second entry if you follow me in some way! Winner will be chosen in a random style and announced on this post and by email. Giveaway is open until 15th February 2014 and winner contacted soon after.
Good luck and happy sewing.
**GIVEAWAY IS OVER** Thank you to everyone who entered!
Congratulations to Rachel of mammafairy sews!

ReplyDeleteAbout me...When I was ten years old in the 1962, I asked all my neighbors for fabric and my mom taught me to hand sew a Nine Patch Block. Mom helped me put all the blocks together and Dad built a quilt frame. The best part is the whole family helped quilt, including my 2 older brothers. Lots of sore fingers later, we had a finished quilt and the best part is that I still have it today. Good memories!!
