Little did I know 1 year ago that starting my blog would be so much fun or that it would make me get back into all my craft activities. I think my family, especially my dear husband John thought it was a fad that would go away after a few days or months at the most. But here I am one year on having made lots of friends in blogland, meet one of those friends in person and made lots of lovely things. Why would I want to stop?
As I haven't been able to sew anything I decided to show you four more blocks from the Votes for Women BOW at Grandmother's Choice. I'm really enjoying this BOW although I am always playing catch up.
So as it's my blogaversary I said I had a give away. I am offering these three fat quarters.
This give away is open to anyone and I will mail internationally. To enter;
1. Leave a comment on this post telling why you started your blog. If you don't have a blog then tell me what you like to read on a blog.
2. If you are a follower leave another comment for a second chance.
The give away will remain open for one week until 11.59 p.m. (GMT) Saturday 20th April
I'm linking this post with Connie at Freemotion by the river. Go and see what folks have been up to this week. There is always lots of quilt eye candy and ideas.
I'm not sure if I will be able to do much sewing or anything for a little while but I will be taking part in the April showers hop on Tuesday 16th April. Come back then for another give away.
Have a good weekend and I hope you get some time for sewing.
Lyndsey

ReplyDeleteHi Lyndsey, Congratulation on your blog anniversary. I don't have my own blog at this time but who knows, I may change my mind in the future. I've only been reading blogs since Nov/Dec 2012 so I'm still learning about this stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have been a happy follower.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law told me about blogging. I didn't even know what it was 3 years ago!! lol
ReplyDeleteShe thought it would be a way for me to sell my quilts...lol; we are all quilters. But I have had so much more fun since I started. And learning immensely!!!

ReplyDeleteI used to have a blog. I started it to keep up with friends & family who was allways after me to see what I made and to take pictures of the items. Well after about a year I didn't have any time to even mess with it. So it has been totally dead now since 2010. And I have even less time now...So I think It is dead for good.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, this follower wishes you a happy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteI started blogging because a friend had just started blogging and it looked like fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyndsey. I am so sorry about your hand. It is hard not being able to use your hands the way you want to so I hope it gets better very soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy blog anniversary! I don't have a blog, but I like to read about what people are making and seeing their items so I like lots of pictures. I like seeing all the new things people are making and I get lots of ideas from them. Thank you so much for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI started my blog because I had a friend who said I should start one. I started my blog before I started quilting and was learning how to sew, and I had shared a lot of stuff about cake decorating and aprons, now it is mostly quilting with some cake decorating.

I started blogging last June. We had a ladies night at the chruch one night and a friend that I haven't seen for quite a few years brought a quilt and she was showing a quilt and telling us about blogging. I am not much into facebook althought I do go on it but mostly to see pictures of my grandkids and so forth but don't really care to post. This was more up my alley and I just love it. I have learned so much and have done so much with this blog. My friend and I hang out all the time now and we are having so much fun. We even went on a bus trip last summer and spent the whole week laughing and having a great time. Blogging does bring people together. I am so amazed to be talking to people from around all the world. Thanks for having a give away.
ReplyDeleteI started blogging because I'm still rather shy and I love making things, but sometimes I have trouble 'tooting my own horn'. So this way I can share and just be 'look I made this' without the tooting.
ReplyDeleteI am also a follower.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog, but I enjoy seeing new tutorials and new designs for quilting. I also like to see what everyone is making. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog but tutorials are always much appreciated. It's always wonderful to see what others have created.
ReplyDeleteI started my blog because I wanted to have a way to chronicle my quilting journey, and make friends in the online community.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. I look forward to getting to know you.
ReplyDeleteDon't have a blog...but soooo love followin' along...so many things you all share! Love the Tutorials!! Am pretty new to the Quilty World....have learned many things from different tutorials. :)
