Giveaway Party

I've been thinking that it's about time for another giveaway.  It's been a while since my last, and there are so many reasons to celebrate: I have lots of wonderful followers, my blog has reached over 150 votes on Picket Fence, and I have well over 250 posts.  
And, on a personal note, I have been keeping up with my lenten plans....the NICU gowns are coming along beautifully and I may even exceed my own expectations!  Yes, it's time for a party!  That said, let's plan one.  


Quilting Gallery blog hop party
Just as I was having these giving thoughts, I discovered that the Quilting Gallery is planning a blog hop party with giveaways!  Now, you know, I had to get on that wagon and hop a ride.  We will follow the rules, just cause I do that when possible.  So here they are


  • blog hop and giveaways begin on March 17
  • everything ends on March 23
  • easy-peasy entry (just leave a comment on this page)
  • international entries welcome
  • hop back to Quilting Gallery to enter other giveaways (that's the party part) 
So what shall we give?  I dove into the studio and found a few goodies that I think you may like: 
  • two vintage patterns
  • a hand-made satin flower (for your hair)

  • a trio of purse accessories (book cover, kleenex holder and card holder)

  • one of my sewing kits filled with all the basic sewing needs, except scissors.

    If you like these items, you could win.  All you have to do is leave a comment.  I'll determine the winner on March 23rd and post it once I've contacted the winner.  And don't forget to go to Quilting Gallery to visit other blogs who are having a party!  I can barely wait till Saturday to begin!


    Giveaway is closed.....and we have a winner!
    #23 Linda V.  I've sent her an email and will let everyone know when she replies!  Thanks to all who participated.....


    Happy Quilting, 
    Mary

      Thanks for a wonderful giveaway! I just had to Google to see where Evergreen, LA is located. My husband grew up in Pointe Coupee parish (Lettsworth). I grew up in Lafayette, but we now live in Atlanta. It's always fun discovering Louisiana quilters. Have a wonderful week!

      What a wonderful assortment of such thoughtful goodies. Now I know that every quilter would want this giveaway. Too bad. You will make a quilter very happy. I have had fun on your blog. I have even downloaded your sausage and chicken gumbo. We have snow here in Sonora,CA and this sounds so good. Thank you. I will be spending the rest of my day entering all the giveaways on the Blog Hop Party, hoping to win - something, anything.

      I had not seen NICU gowns before, just small hats, nice to be able to contribute with your sewing.
      Very cool pack you have for the giveaway, the patterns look awesome, and all the goodies would be super useful.
