My 1st Giveaway!

24 Mar

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED AND WINNER HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.

Thanks to all who entered!

I’ve been wanting to do a giveaway for awhile, and I think moving is the perfect occasion.  My husband and I are making a huge life change by moving up north and we are so excited and nervous.  I’m also nervous to do a giveaway, because what if no one enters?!

Here is my offering:

A pristine, unwashed fat quarter of Flea Market Fancy Pink Posies.

Here is what you need to do:

Post a comment to me for one entry.

Blog about my giveaway and then comment to me about it for another entry.

Subscribe to my blog and post a comment telling me for a third entry.

Finish all my unfinished quilts for a fourth entry.

Ok, ok, JUST KIDDING about the last one!

My internet is being taken from me tomorrow, so I’ll check back once I am up at my new home in Petaluma.  I’ll post the winner Wednesday, March 31st! Entries are welcome from anywhere.

Thanks to all who enter!

    You will love Petaluma. I have friends that go there every year for their anniversary. I also love the pictures of you house here in Southern California. It should sell fast, you have done a nice job of painting, etc.
    Anyway, you inspired me to go to my local charity thrift shops for sheets. I have come up with some great fabric and have helped the charity as well. I bought as much as I could that day, and intend to go back. I see sheets from the 70’s that I bought for my daughter’s room. Anyway, hope to be considered for your give-away. Good luck with the move.
