Thank you Followers Giveaway!!!!

Good morning!!! I pray you all had a wonderful night's rest. I am so excited about today!!!! I have my first ever giveaway here on my blog. I am having the giveaway, because last week I went over 50, yes 50, followers!!! I am ecstatic to no end!!!! I never expected to be a blogger until my daughter started her blog and as a result has been able to stay at home and home school our grandson while writing for other people because of what great job she does on her blog. I decided I would start a blog and did back in May 2012 with my daughter's help, to catalog and share my adventures and learning I'm doing making quilts, pillows, etc. I have wanted to make quilts since the 1980's, but never thought I would be able to until I had to stop working. I am thoroughly enjoying this trip and hope to continue for a long time.

Now to the giveaway. I have two great sponsors who are kind enough to share with my followers. There are a few things you will need to do to be entered into the giveaway. 

1. Tell me how you found my blog. 

2. Go visit http://www.thequiltinggarden.com/, look around, sign up for their newsletter and come back to me and tell me two things: 1. that you signed up for the newsletter or like them on Facebook (be honest now) 2. how you would spend $50 on this website.
The Quilting Garden is offering a $50 gift certificate for my giveaway!!!!

3. Go visit http://www.fatquartershop.com, like them on Facebook, and tell me in your comment that you did.
This is the awesome charm pack that winner number two will get from Fat Quarter Shop!!! I may add a few things myself to this prize!!!

So, make sure you do the above and comment on here that you did, and I will draw a name from the comments and reveal the names on Monday!!!! Good luck and thank you so much for following my blog and reading about

Thank you all!!!!

Teresa

Followers I am having a problem with my comments. Intense Debate is what I am using for my comments, but for some reason, it isn't working. I have found your comments on their website, but I have not figured out a way to even comment on the ones who have recently commented. Please bear with me. This is new to me.

  1. Hi Teresa... Thanks for introducing me to a new shop! If I won the gift certificate, at least part of it would go to buy some if that beautiful Lecien fat quarter bundle of "Durham Anew"... Not sure which color though... I might have to add a little to the GC, and get them all! And I found you through a post on a private FB group:)

  3. Hi Teresa:

    I found your blog through a post on The Quilter's Corner and it's amazing.

    I would spend the gift card on restocking my stash which I had to sell to pay for my dog's dental surgery. There are still several holes on the shelf that need beautiful fabrics.

    I look forward to getting your newsletter and reading your blog.
