Free to a good home!

Or any home but mine!


I don’t know how I missed it but my one year blogging anniversary was last month! So, it is time for a giveaway. So if you would like to win a pile of scraps (all I can fit into a medium flat rate priority box) leave me a comment and I will draw a name on Wednesday, November 4. That gives you a week to decide whether or not you want to add all these scraps to your pile!


I love doing giveaways because I get so many comments. I’m still learning about blogging etiquette. I try to answer all comments through e-mail, but if the comment is a question, I like to answer through the blog so that all can see the answer. I appreciate all comments and love to get suggestions as well. I’ve had a lot of fun this year reading, watching and commenting on other blogs too. Keep up the good work and don’t forget to leave your address if you are a no reply blogger.

    Count me in, Wendy. I'd love to add your fabrics to my Brinton Hall quilt that I just started. I'm doing a scrappy version and using all CW and reproduction prints so these would be a great addition. Congrats on your first year of blogging. It sure makes the world a smaller place!
