(edited July 11th — the give away is now closed and winners have been selected, thanks for participating)
I am always reading of other people having giveaways and I do not know why but I have never had one. I have been blogging for 2 years and 3 months and have had 332 blog entries. I guess it is time to have one.
The rules: leave me a comment on this blog post by Wednesday and tell me where you are from – this doesn’t mean your exact location 
just your country and/or state will do. That will give you one chance. You will have two chances if you mention the give away on your blog. The winners will be announced on Saturday next week on the 11th – one week from today. This give away is open to all readers no matter where you are from.
Make sure you if you do not have a blog that I have a way to get in touch with you – I will need your e mail address.
There will be two winners. Each winner will get a package of strong acrylic templates from Marti Michell - she is listed on my side bar and has wonderful products. Check out her site and see what all she has available. These templates are made strong enough so that you can use a rotary cutter to cut around them, no need to trace around them and cut with
scissors 
unless you want to. Marti and her husband were kind enough to send me quite a few of their products during the winter after I mentioned them on a blog post about the wonderful quilts that can be made from their drunkards path templates. They sent me a variety of products and I know I will never have enough time to use all of them so I am sharing. There just might be another product give away in the future!
These are the two different sets of templates that I am giving away – they have never been used although I have opened the packages to take a look at them. If you have a preference on which you would like to win tell me in your comment and I will try to make sure you get the one you want. Included with the package of the templates will also be a surprise gift from me.
The package on the left is the Drunkards Path pattern and it makes a 6 – 7 inch block. The pattern on the right is called Winding Ways and it makes a 8 1/2 inch block.
I hope you all are enjoying the 4th of July here in the United States and that the weather has been ok for you all. Here we have had some rain but I think the weather will clear up in time for the fireworks tonight. My husband and I have been planning on going over to the river park to see the show.

This is the first time I have been the first to respond to a giveaway. If I win, I would love the Winding Ways templates. Thanks,
.-= Gari´s last blog .. =-.
I love the Winding Ways. Her Templates are great. I did a BOM with them a few years back and they were great to rotary cut around. A hint-put double sided tape on the back to keep them from sliding and use a turn table.

I have several of Marti’s templates and really like them. I have been wanting the Winding Ways templates, but just haven’t bought them yet.
I had a retreat with Marti last year and she is so much fun!
I live in Florida and will be happy to put a link on my blog for your giveaway. I know whoever gets the templates will be thrilled.
I’ll obviously disqualify myself as a family member and non-quilter! But is cool that you are doing your first giveaway!

Even for Maine! OH well, what ‘cha gonna do???? Quilt of course! I would like the winding ways template..I already have a drunkards path one. I love the flow of winding ways quilts!
Hi From Connecticut!! I just found your blog and love it. I do have some of Marti’s templates and they are fantastic. I would love the winding ways template set.

Hello,
I am from Hayden,Alabama. I just found your blog and wanted to enter your give away. I like the Drunkard’s Path. I had a red and white one time that I pieced and my mother quilted it. I lost it in a house fire. Never tried another one but would like to have one. I don’t have a blog but I enjoy reading them very much.
Thanks, Lacesell Hayes lacesell_h@hotmail.com

Hi!
I’m living in Ireland, but moving soon back to Finland.
I found your blog via ‘that quilt’, I just start my Baby Jane two
weeks ago… after finishing my first quilt. Yours Dear Jane looks fab.
Never used any templates, but like to try.
I’m in Alberta, Canada. I just started a block of the month using Marti’s templates. They are great, my blocks are turning out perfect, which makes me very happy.
I’m in Alberta, Canada too. I’d love to try out the templates. I think if I won I’d choose drunkards path. I’ve been seeing some interesting quilts with that pattern that I think would be a fun thing to play with scraps on.
