1 year ago... ** A GIVEAWAY Post

1 year ago this wee lass decided to give sewing a go for the first time since Intermediate (since I was about 12 that is!!)...

... and so the love addiction for sewing, quilting and all things made with pretty fabric began...

It's so hard to believe that I have only been sewing a year!! Mostly because I sure have accumulated a lot of fabric over the year HA... but also because I really can't believe all that I've accomplished in the last year:
** at least 14 quilts
**  3 swaps
**  2 bees
**  A commitment to hand make all our presents for 2010 Christmas and for the rest of 2011

And I really couldn't have done it without you guys!! Blogland/Flickrland keeps me SO inspired!! You are all amazing - so uplifting and encouraging, inspiring & knowledgeable!! I really appreciate all the help and support you've given me over the last year in my creations!!

So - to celebrate my first year sewing, almost my first year blogging, and also to celebrate that I just tipped over 10,000 hits on my blog (so people actually read this - SCARY!! LOL...) I would like to have a little give away...

This is what is up for grabs:


A charm pack of the very sought after Sherbet pips, and also a little secret surprise as well...

To enter all you have to do is comment on this post - easy.
If you are a follower (including new followers) you may have a second entry for all your encouragement over the last year- just leave a second comment saying that you are a follower - double easy!

So thanks again to everybody for helping me get started on this sewing journey!!
I look forward to many more happy years ahead :)






OOoops.... I suppose you would like to know when it will end - ummm... lets see...
... ok it will end next Sunday 17th April, because my birth date is the 17th so I'm naturally biased towards that number ;)

susan said...

You have only been sewing for a year?! You should be so proud of what you have accomplished. I started (or restarted like you did) about five years ago and have accomplished about the same as you have in one year. Think about all the things yet to come/be created!

susan said...

I am already a follower by the way. I think you have a great blog.
