AWKWARD

I'm kinda really embarrassed to write this post.  :/  But I've put it off too long so here goes.  *deep breath*  A couple of days ago I posted about a giveaway I'm having.  (If you want to see the post you can go here.)  I was so excited!  Sad thing is, I only got one comment and I have two complete wall hanging kits to giveaway!  :(  I won't go into my thoughts of giving up quilting I've seen this type of giveaway on other blogs so I thought, "why not?" But I found out, this is not a good idea. :/   At least not for me.  I decided I made the giveaway too hard, too time consuming.  I guess I'm not only trying to learn how to make quilts, but I'm also learning what to do/not to do for giveaways, too.  So . . . to try to redeem myself I'm going to make this simple, with up to three chances to enter and win! 



I have TWO of these wall hangings to give away!  I'm working on mine now and I love it!  Here's how you can win one of them:

1st entry:  Become or be a follower!  Tell me in a comment that you are!
2nd entry:  What's your favorite item in the My Lazy Daisy Catalog?  Tell me in another comment!
3rd entry:  Write a post about this giveaway on your blog.  Tell me in another comment that you did!

There you go!  Three ways to put your name in the "hat" to win one of these wall hangings!

Good luck!  :o)

Now, I have two other things I haven't told you about but should have before now:

***  For the month of May the quilt "Candy Ribbon" is $25 off!  I'm getting mine in the Gracies Color Collection!  I can't wait!

***  From May 23-26, My Lazy Daisy is having an open house to show off their new show room and classrooms!  If you're in the St. George, Utah, area May 23,24 or 25, stop in and see me!  I'd love to meet you face-to-face!  :o)

Hugs!

Memorial Day Giveaway

I am so excited about this giveaway!  I've been working on my "Liberty Logs" wall hanging and I'm having so much fun!  This is a BIG step for me since I've pretty much only made quilts with squares and rectangles (remember . . . I'm still a beginner . . . don't judge too harshly!) and I'm having a blast!  I'm having so much fun I decided I wanted to give this wall hanging kit to TWO of my Quilty Friends (followers)!!!



I LOVE AMERICA and all the freedoms we are blessed with in this country!  In honor of those freedoms, and the men and women who have helped protect them for us, I thought this wall hanging would be perfect for the upcoming holiday!

I looked up Memorial Day in Wikipedia to see what they had to say about it:

"Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May.^[1] Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. (Southern ladies organizations and southern schoolchildren had decorated Confederate graves in Richmond and other cities during the Civil War, but each region had its own date. Most dates were in May.) By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.^[2]

By the early 20th century, Memorial Day was an occasion for more general expressions of memory, as people visited the graves of their deceased relatives in church cemeteries, whether they had served in the military or not."

So . . . here's what you need to do to be eligible to win one of these wall hangings:

Write a post about this giveaway on your blog and encourage your followers to come here and leave a comment (one comment per person, please).  Encourage often, because the more comments there are that name your blog, the greater your chance of winning is!!!  :o)  In their comment on my blog they need to tell me who's blog they saw the giveaway on and also tell me what their favorite item is in the My Lazy Daisy Catalog.  If your blog is named the most often in the comments for this post I will randomly pick an entry from those comments only and both you AND your follower will receive a "Liberty Logs" wall hanging full kit!  Here's what a sample of what a comment could look like:

     "I saw your giveaway listed on such-and-such blog on such-and-such date and my favorite item in the My Lazy Daisy Catalog is the "Piggy Tales" quilt!"  (And anything else they may want to say!!!)

Simple!  :o)

OK.  Here's the fine print:

1.  You can't name your own blog or my blog for where you saw this giveaway information, so do some blog hopping on your favorite blogs and list one of them that posts about this giveaway!

2.  Please list the date of their post that refers to this giveaway.

3.  Only one entry per person, please.  (You can't list different blogs in different comments.)

4.  You need to be a follower of my blog to win.

That's it!  :o)

I'll leave this giveaway open for two weeks!  On Memorial Day (May 28, 2012) at 10:00 p.m. (MST) I'll choose the two winners!

If you have any questions shoot me an e-mail!  GOOD LUCK!!!

Hugs!

We Have a Winner!!!

Blog Hop Party with Giveaways!

Yay!!!  It's finally here!  It's time for the Blog Hop Party that we've all been waiting for!  I love these because it gives me a chance to see some INCREDIBLE blogs, meet GREAT people, and, of course, enter LOTS of giveaways!  Did I mention there are giveaways???  EVERY blog in this party is having a giveaway for the next week!  How cool is that?!?!?  :o)

To hop along, just go to Quilt Gallery (or click on the cute button on the side of my blog) any time after midnight on March 17th (wear your green for good luck!) to see the list of all the blogs that are participating.  Then visit those blogs, look around a bit, and register for their giveaway!  Simple!!!  :o)

So what am I giving away?  Usually there's a picture in the post for these kinds of things, but today is different.  You see, I don't know what I'm giving away yet because I'm going to let YOU pick your prize!  Yep!  The winner of my giveaway will win two charm packs of their choice!!!  Pretty sweet, huh?!?!?  :o)

You have two chances at winning those charm packs:
1.  Become a follower of my blog and leave me a comment telling me that you are.  If you are already a follower (love ya!) then tell me that in your comment.  Easy.
2.  Leave a comment telling me which two charm packs you'd like if you were picked to be the winner!  NOT so easy.  How will you choose???  :/

The party will be open until March 23rd at 10:00 p.m. (MT).  I'll choose a winner from the comments and notify you by e-mail on March 24th!  Make sure you have an e-mail linked with your comment or I'll have to pick someone else!  :`(

Good luck and have a fantabulous day hopping around!!!  :o)

How about a Leap Year Day giveaway!!!

Happy Leap Year Day!!!  (???)  I thought I'd join in the fun of

giving away something to help celebrate Leap Year! 

This is seven fat quarters of Hawaiian fabric!  Looking out my window at all the snow I thought today needed something cheery!!!

You have two chances to win (Sorry - No international entries this time):

1.  Become a follower of my blog and leave me a comment that you are.
2.  Leave a second comment telling me what kind of quilty project you're working on!

Simple!

I'll choose the winner tomorrow (March 1st) at 10:00 p.m. (MST) so good luck to everyone!!!  :o)

I got this great idea from Such a Sew and Sew.  I'm embarassed, but I did it wrong and can't figure out how to fix the links and add the cute button and all that other bloggy "stuff!"  Anyway, go on over to her blog to see who else is celebrating Leap Year by giving something away!!!  :o)

Hugs!
