A Give Away!

by Karen on September 30, 2009

I promised a give away and here it is. I didn’t think I would be ready to do this until later but it didn’t take long at all. I went through my sewing room back in August when I remodeled and found so many duplicate items, books not being used ect. I have a basket full of things. For this give away there is a Christmas Book of patterns, a package of Thangles (possible some where used but it looks full to me) a necklace pendant that you can bring on the plane with you when flying to cut threads – would you believe I have 3 of them – one I bought – others were given to me and last but not least a 6 1/2 inch square ruler. I will include a couple fat quarters or pieces of fabric that I do not want any more – taste change you know — what I do not like someone else might. Fabric will be a surprise as I haven’t picked it out yet.

the give away items

The rules:

1 – leave me a comment and make sure I have your e mail address to let you know if you have won – that gives you one chance.

2- post on your blog about it also and it will give you two chances.

Drawing will be one week from today – October 7th.

Karen L October 2, 2009 at 9:58 am: To Karen from Karen, I really enjoy reading your blog and not just because we have the same first name! You always come across as being “down to earth” and not a quilt snob; someone we “regular” quilters would love to meet or have as a quilt buddy. Love following you on your travels also! Your hand quilting looks beautiful in the photos. Just wondering, are you using different colored thread for some of the different blocks? I was not sure if that was what I was seeing in the photos or not.

I would really like to win and the ruler is really handy with 6,5. I have the 6 and they would make a wonderfull pair )

I have linked to you and I will follow you further.
