Today marks the one year birthday of this little blog! I have had so much fun writing about and cataloging my quilting times, a little bit of life, and sharing some of my wisdom (ha! yeah, right.) with you readers.
We have had some fun this year, right?
we did the fan quilt-along (boo, mine is still waiting to be long-arm quilted)….
I shared some fun times from teaching classes at my local quilt shop…
I sewed like crazy to keep up with my wild imagination and even created some patterns….
Today I am celebrating you readers by offering some fun giveaways!
A little while back I told you I am excited about this new sampler book by Tula Pink. One winner will win their own copy of this book…hopefully you can join me in playing with these blocks!
TWO winners will EACH win two charm packs of “world tour” by Parson’s Gray.
Unfortunately, with shipping so obscenely high, the prizes above are for readers within the United States. BUT….
For International Visitors, one winner will receive a pdf pattern from my collection on Craftsy!
Enter the drawing by leaving a comment on this post (I have removed the word verification, so it’s super easy now). Tell me where you live, is it summer or winter? How are you spending July?
If you are visiting from outside the U.S., tell me what is your favorite pattern in my little shop?
Get a second entry if you post this link on your blog, twitter, Facebook, etc. (I am greedy and want lots of people to come visit me :- )
whew! that’s way too wordy. Happy Anniversary! Cheers! Bon Voyage! Come again soon!
Sharon

I live in Galesburg, Michigan about 45 miles from the beautiful Lake Michigan. You will find me either on a beach on the great lake or on our pontoon boat relaxing on a little lake 12 miles from our house. Summer doesn’t get better than this. Thanks for a chance to win such a lovely prize.
Hey, congratulations! I live in southern Wisconsin where it is glorious summer, my favorite time of year! Thanks for having such a great giveaway!
Congrats on your anniversary! I am in south central Kansas where it is hot and humid with very little rain. Thanks for the giveaway.
Congrats on the anniversary! Im from Texas..as usual it’s summer here but it’s hasn’t been toooo bad just a week of triple temps in my area followed by a week of rain..very very rare for us.
Shared on my FB page as well
Congratulations Sharon!
I’m in the UK – it’s summer here and the weather is unusually hot! We need some rain!
I like your Treasure Maps pattern!
Congratulations on the anniversary! Your quilts are just beautiful and your tutorials are great. I enjoy reading your posts – even though I don’t write many comments…I live in Germany and at the moment the weather is too hot, we’re also looking for rain.
Happy blogoversary and many more to come. I am in South Carolina. It is hot hot hot here. And high humidity. I have not had a good summer.. I have had a partial mastectomy for breast cancer and have been recouperating. And now waiting to go back for a total mastectomy as 5 of my margins were still positive for cancer. So July has not been a good month for me at all. After my mastectomy I begin reconstruction so the rest of my summer is still not gonna be any good. I am looking forward to 2014 and next summer is gonna be so much better.
Oh, sweetie, I am praying for you and I hope you get to feeling better soon. vickise at gmail dot com
Congrats! I live in NY and it is summer. I’ve been working all July but have vacation coming up in August. Thanks!
love your beach commer pattern.
Treasure Map is my favourite pattern. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada and, of course, it’s mid-summer here and beautiful. I’m mostly enjoying some “staycation” time with a few side trips to lakes and neighbouring provinces.
I feel just sick for Tammy who posted about her “breast cancer summer”. How awful. I know first hand how awful that is having spent a recent year with similar surgery, chemo, and radiation. That was a “chemo-summer” for me and not one I remember fondly but, thanks to chemo-brain, it’s not one I remember well! LOL. Happy to say I’m enjoying summers again. Hang in there, Tammy. I wish you the best of possible outcomes and the smoothest of possible sailings.
I live in New Hampshire and we’re having a nice, hot summer here. I’m spending it at the beach as often as I can!
I live in Texas where it is always hot in the summer!!! Surprisingly we are under 100:) Yea!
Well due to teh heat I stay in and sew or quilt:)
I live in Minnesota and we are having a beautiful summer. I’m out on my bike as much as possible and doing very little sewing.
I live in Washington and it has been hotter than I like but much cooler than the rest of the country. I have been watching old English mysteries on you tube and sewing for me for a change. I needed new school clothes. I am a middle school teacher. I was looking too dowdy.LOL
I live in Oklahoma and it is hot and humid. I stay in and hand quilt, embroider, or read. Thanks for the giveaway and congratulations on making it a year. vickise at gmail dot com
I live in Texas. Hot as the dickens, but it is cooler and wetter than last year at least. Spending July inside sewing and gathering for a couple of swaps and planning quilts for my upcoming 1st great-grandson.
I live in the good ole US and it is hot, hot, HOT! I used to live in the mountains and summer in the mountains is the best….on really hot nights, I dream of those cool mountain evenings! Thanks for the lovely giveaway and happy anniversary.
Congratulations, Sharon! I live in Ohio. Thanks for sharing your great quilts and patterns, and your love of quilting!
I live in Northern California near Mt Lassen. It has been a hot summer, but cooler here at my home in the mountains. I love making blocks so this book is right up my alley. I found your blog through Pinterest and love your fan blocks so I have to check out more of your blog!
