#71 Celebrating 1000+ InstaGram Followers with a GiveAway!!

You guys are the best!!

If someone would have asked me when I signed up on InstaGram, how many followers I think I would have after a few short years, I would have said 10 maybe 20, and that would have been mostly family and friends, lol! Boy was I wrong!! I am over the moon happy to be a part of such a supportive network of quilters and crafters!! In the last almost 3 yrs I have virtually met so many amazing and truly talented people. So I want to say thank you, for all your encouragement and support and lovely comments, by hosting a giveaway for all of you! Not to leave out those who follow my blog as well, because I know some follow both, and because RaffleCopter making picking a winner easier, I'm using the blog to host the prize giveaway. Just to explain the blog's difference, I post far more pictures here and share the process of some projects, giveaways, tutorials and Blog Hops here. Please follow along if you would like, I usually  post every other week (sometimes once a month) unless there are a lot of fun things going on!! (like right now)



Mad About Patchwork is a Canadian Online store that recently also became a store front!! Don't worry though they ship Internationally too!!


There are 2 prizes up for grabs, a gift certificate to Mad About Patchwork (one of my favourite shops) for $30.00 and a Homemade Package from me, including the Honey Cowl I just finished knitting, a crocheted market bag, a tiny zippered pouch and a hipster purse. (Prizes are open to all)


Thank You all so much and good luck to everyone!!





a Rafflecopter giveaway

Thanks again to Pam and all the Mad About Patchwork team for the support and fantastic prize they have donated!!

 Keep scrolling to the next post if you are interested in a Free Block of the Month, that includes embroidery and or applique. There is also another prize giveaway available!!

    This year I am setting my sights a little more realistically. Usually I have so many quilts, wall hangings and such on the go for Christmas that invariably at least one is not complete in time, and, I never seem to get anything done for me. This year most will be getting placemat sets, a table runner or some pouches and fun pillowcases. I do have a quilt in the works but if it doesn't get done in time it will bother no one but me as it is for ME. I enjoy your blog each time an email is delivered to my inbox. This is an awesome giveaway. I love Mad About Patchwork and your work is wonderful.
