Dreams are illustrations....from the book your soul is writing about you.
-Marsha Norman
So much has happen in the past week it is almost worth describing in chapters rather than a few words. First and foremost the rain and flooding in Atlanta. It has been on all the news and bloggers in the Atlanta area have described the horrible loss of life and property so well. The thing is...Atlanta is not a city prone to flooding. Yes we have creeks that spill over their banks during heavy rains and that usually makes the local news but THIS...is mind blowing. We have had a couple of dry days but there is heavy rain in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Keep our city in your prayers.
Last Saturday I had the honor to do a quilt lecture and workshop for the lovely ladies of the Lavender Mountain Guild in Rome Georgia (dang....I wish it had been Rome Italy) We had a ball. They welcomed me with this wonderful sign sitting next to a plate full of Hugs and Kisses....We laughed and worked very hard during the workshop. These ladies were ready to learn and share their knowledge with each other! If you are in Rome Georgia or near there..they have a quilt show with quilts hanging the Library during the month of March. I'm going to try to make a trip to see their quilts in 2010! Thanks so much to the Lavender Ladies for a wonderful day!!
I mentioned on my previous blog that I was joining some sewing buddies in Covington for our semi annual retreat. Four of us delayed the drive (which is about an hour) because of the rain and extreme fatigue.. Sunday night none of us slept because of the thunder and lightening. I thought my house was going to implode it was so severe. I was holding a vibrating dog scared out of her fur. SO... we left on Tuesday morning caravaning down to Covington. Had a great retreat even if it was cut short by one day! I will show you some of the projects I worked on in another blog.
GIVE A WAY TIME......as promised I am celebrating my 150th post. Actually I'm trying to get this give a way off the ground before I have my 200th post !!!! Dang the days just fly by so quickly. So here are the " I LOVE MY BLOG" goodies.

First Comment! Oh, I'm sure I've been quilting since 1994...maybe 1993...but 15 years at least!!! Happy 150 posts...and we'll definitely be praying that there is no flooding for you all! (Wish the rain could come out west)!
Okay....here I am...waving my hand and hoping I might get picked!!! I can blog about this for tomorrow...even though I hate to encourage too many to enter....because that's less chance for ME to win. hehehe Oh..yes...I've been quilting since about fall of 2005......so that's about 4 years now..although I have sewn for many years (over 45...YIKES). I hope there is no more flooding there. The power of water and the damage it can cause is utterly amazing.
Lets see, I have been quilting for about 14 years.
What a wonderful giveaway!!
Glad you are safe and sound. I have had it with the rain and multiple detours to get to and from work! Have been quilting-does the dawn of time count?? I need a Thimbles fix-not enough laughing this week!
I have been quilting since around 1990. It just seems like forever. Glad you didn't have any water damage. We are fine over her on the west side - at least at my house.
Hi Pat! I've been quilting since about 2002 (I think). The rain sure was terrible, wasn't it? I think we are all set for a while now. Hopefully no more drought or flood!
Hey! I love your blog but I'm not suer that I've introduced myself... My name is Mandy and I've been quilting since June...
but I'm already addicted!
I really hope I win. I'm trying to create a stash so I can be inspired too :)
What lovely goodies! Thanks for the giveaway! I quilted 20+ years ago and then took a long break in the middle to get married and raise my kids. I just got back into it last fall.
I just blogged about your giveaway too! Thanks again! :0)
Hi, it's the first time I am on your blog ('cause Terry sent me LOL, thanks for mentioning it!)and I've been looking almost breathless at all those beautifull quilts, thanks for sharing and for this great give away. You certainly are in my Reader now :-)).
I'm quilting for almost two years.
Well, let's see, I started quilting in 1980 when I was pregnant with baby number 3. I was taking a night school course and knew I would miss the last week of the 10 week program. Baby arrived early and I missed the last two classes. What I didn't learn then, I learned by reading magazines and joining a quilt guild. 29 years. BTW, I came because Terry of Terry's Treasures sent me.
Woo-Hoo Pat, great giveaway! Well now I have been quilting since 1984 or 85. Just not as much as I would like to. There were many interruptions (like school), but I've still maintained my love of quilting. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Ooh....I love your giveaway please enter me in it. I have been quilting now for around 14 years. I love anything to do with sewing.
Thanks
Vicki
What a lovely give away! Thank you!
I have been quilting for over 25 years. I started because I couldn't afford to by the ready made crib sets and I wanted a nicely made up crib when my daughter was born. Unfortunately, I lost quilting for awhile, but I have found it again!
Hi Pat. I took my first quilting class about 35 years ago - I was a slow starter but for the past few years I have been doing more quilting. Now that I'm retired I'm really sewing up a storm. I love your blog - it gives me a smile most mornings. Keep it up for another 150!
Actually quilting! After coming back from Germany. My machine was in storage for 3 years! About 1992?
Hi Pat! I love your blog :o) I have been quilting for 13 years and consider myself to be a full blown quilt addict. Keep up the great work and stay safe with the storms. And here's a hug {} for being so generous with the quilt goodies.
Pat, I love following your blog. It has been fun to hear you write about your retreat near Covington. I think that is the one I have been to with DarLynn.
How many years quilting? Hmmm, It was 1995 - 14 years. My how time flies.
Andrea
I would love to win. I have sew for years, since I was a little girl, but only started quilting about 10 years ago. I wandered into the Village Quilt Shop and was so excited by some of the quilts, I had to try it. Will definitely mention you on my blog.
Wow, what a generous giveaway! I have been quilting for only 4 years, but I have sewn for as long as I can remember. I think I need to keep quilting for the next...hmmmm about 180 years to get through all the projects I would love to make! lol
I am now a follower too.
Oh Sunday night I will be at my Sons wedding reception and maybe I be lucky.
Anyway I have been quilting since 1991 and loved every minute of it.
My husband always says, geee you have tried a lot of different things, but this quilting has stuck.
cheers
Christine
ps. I nearly have my 150th post, must think of a giveaway soon.
Count me in on your giveaway. I have been a quilter since I taught myself about 12 years ago. I started with a crib quilt panel that I hand quilted, and then moved on to piecing.
I do not have a blog, but would love it if you put my name in 2 times.
thanks, Linda
Congratulations Pat on 150 posts! Whew!!
I have been quilting for over 30 years and enjoying every minute of it!!
Hello Pat, well I have to say I started to quilt in the 2008, I'm taking quilt classes since then, and I love to quilt with all my life, lol. I know I'm still an amateur, but I'm learning, yay!, please enter me in your giveaway, I already blogged about it! arlette0521.blogspot.com
WOW, so SORRY about all that rain! That's TERRIBLE! Sure hope things clear up very soon. I'd love to win your wonderful prize and thanks for a great giveaway! I think I've been quilting around 15-16 years now and still going strong!
I have been quilting since 1994. I have been longarming since 2004, AND I'M HAVING A BLAST! Thanks for the great giveaway... those are some wonderful goodies. And I am off to post about your giveaway on my blog (http://fancystitchingnews.blogspot.com/), so please give me an extra entry.

I've been quiltiing for about 10 years. I came to quilting for stress relief (LOL) when I started having my children. Congrats on 150 posts.
Congratualtions on your 150 posts.
I have been quilting since 1995 and I have to admit it was not by choice that I started. (you can read about this on my blog, First Quilt posting.) I do hope September 27th is a lucky day for me as I turn the big 60....not sure how I feel about that yet...
Wow! What lovlies you are giving away! I don't have a blog (where do you find the time??), but wanted to enter this wonderful giveaway anyway and thank you for that. I've been quilting off and on for about 10 years now.
Thanks again for the giveaway!
Barbara in TN

I've quilted off and on for 20 years or so. Have EQ6 so have made hundreds of virtual quilts - not so many in real life however! Looking forward to the next set of 150 posts!
Lovely giveaway prizes! I have been quilting for about 16 years, though I have been sewing forever. I have been teaching quilting classes for about 6 years.
Oh...Pick me, Pick me! (I remember those old school days...lol)
I have been quilting since 1995, when I first started as a traveling nurse, that makes it easy to remember!
ok, here goes the truth about my age, grin, I have been quilting for about 54 years having learned from my sil right after I got married. Barb in western NC
i am a bigener
i started sewing years ago but now i want to know how to quilt!
what a dream!!
and i blogged about your giveaway
thanks!
I've posted on my blog http://susanstitches49.blogspot.com/ about your Give A Way. I've been quilting since 1994, but you taught me to piece correctly using a scant 1/4" seam. You've taught me soooo much through SNS and Silver Thimbles. Thanks!
Susan Gilliam
Congratulations on reaching 150 posts. Pat sent me over to check your blog out despite the fact that she wants to win!!
I have been quilting since the late 60s and still have my paper QNMs from the beginning.
I've been quilting since 2000 and have been enjoying every minute, every Fat Quarter and every Yard since. Pat sent me over too (sorry Pat, I know its less of a chance for you to win now!) and I've posted about your give away on my blog Flat Out Quilting
I've been quilting since 1994. Hope things clear up weather wise for you guys. Looking forward to seeing quilts from your retreat.
I was requesting for a second chance saying that I am a follower, but I am already. Thank you for the big giveaway. Congratulations on your milestone.
Oh yes, I have started quilting since school but restarted with a new sewing machine late last year.
Hi I'm new to blogging and just found you linked from Sweet P's blog. Please enter me in your giveaway, I will add myself to your followers :-)
OOPs I forgot I've only been quilting for about 3 years :-)
Not a blogger yet but a dedicated lurker and learning so much from all you lovely ladies. I have been quilting since 1995 and seem to get more addicted as the years go by. Beautiful give away. Marilyn in Nakusp

Happy 150!! Blogged about it here:
http://splittingstitches.blogspot.com/
And I'm a new follower!
thanks! joanne
Ah, how long I have been quilting--well let's see: I took my first class in 1978 and made sampler quilts. I also learned a lot. Then I actually got away from quilting for a few years in the late 1980's. I came back to quilting full speed ahead in 1990, when my daughter was born and have been quilting ever since. Congratulations on your 150th post--I am real new to blogging, but loving it! Love your giveaway!
I am blogging about your giveaway--thanks for the second opportunity!
Hi Pat,
Happy 150th post! I sure hope the weather's happy too. Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for clear skies. I visited Atlanta last fall - beautiful city!
I made my first 'quilt' about 18 years ago, just before I got married. It wasn't a real quilt because I tied it. I still have it but it's ugly and falling apart. The cat sleeps on it now. I started real quilting 9 or so years ago.
Great giveaway. I'm going to blog about it!
Take care,
Rachel
Still learning.
I am new to quilting...my Mother in Law turned me on to and I have so many ideas that I just cant decide what to do first. Thanks for the neat giveaway and congrats on the 150th post!
Oh Wow Pat, what a wonderful giveaway! I started getting serious about quilting almost exactly 3 years ago. Our youngest moved out and becoming an empty nester was hard on me. LOL So I took up quilting. I love it. I really enjoy reading your blog. You always sound so upbeat. Keep it up. Winona
I did my first quilt in 1985, by tracing around cardboard templates on the fabric, then cutting them out with scissors! I don't think there were rotary cutters in '85! I also quilted it by hand...my first and last by hand LOL!
I will pray for a stop to the rain for you all!
Bari B - MO
I have been an official quilter since 1997 but I did make baby quilts in 1954 for my first child. Glad you are ok during the crazy storms and yes we will pray for Atlanta.
I've been quilting since 2000 - Sister in Law had a class and I joined. Love your blog - Mary Anne
Happy 150 posts!
Hmmm... how long have I been quilting? I made my first quarter log cabin block - cushion - in 3rd grade, which must be 1987, but I didn't make my first quilt until 2001, so I think we can say I've been quilting for 8 years?
I have been quilting since my darling daughter was 2 years old, I made all her little dresses and rompers and wanted to do something with the scraps, instant addiction!!!
She is now 28 so I've been addicted to quilting for a long time and I still enjoy envery part of the process.
Sue Cahill (sbonetsue at yahoo dot com)
Hello again, Pat. I'm not sure if I was supposed to come back and tell you that I blogged about your giveaway...
Pat,
I don't know how to answer your question because it depends on whether you are asking me the first time I ever made a quilted object or when I began to make bed sized quilts? The first time I ever made pieces for a quilt was about 1975 where I used scissors and template and made a Dresden plate pillow - After that, I made some panel vests and quilted bags and took a couple of classes about making Cathedral Windows and Seminole piecing- But probably the correct answer is that I have seriously quilted since 1996. I took a course that summer and made my own sampler quilt over two summers. I have quilted regularly since that time and made over 50 large queen sized quilts.
What a fun giveaway and you are going to make someone one happy person with your lovely patterns and fabric gifts.
Thank you for your generosity and for some inspiration for today's blog post.
Warmest regards,
Anna
Lovely giveaway goodies! I hope the rains subside for you and there are no more problems with flooding. I've sewed for 40 years, made my first quilt as a wedding present for a friend back in 1983, then a long break - did little things for years, but didn't get back to quilting 'til about 2000. Still trying to make up those lost years!
I have been quilting now for about 7 years and just love it. Still do not have my own blog but really enjoy to visit and follow other blogs. It is so much fun and I learn a lot from you all!
I have been sent over from Pat from (a little of this and a little of pat)! I have been quilting for about 6 years... and lovin' every minute of it!
I've only been quilting since last October. I'm having a hard time finding the time to do it but when i have time I thoroughly enjoy it. And i love reading quilting blogs.
thanks for the wonderful giveaway!!
Pat, I have been quilting since March of 2008. Actually that is when I made my very first paper-pieced block. That got me started. I am a relative newbie, but I did my 250th blog post on Friday.
I will blog your giveaway too.
Hi Pat, what a lovely giveaway... thanks for the opportunity to win... I hope you are enjoying your weekend,
Hugs, and God Bless,
^A^ngel
Happy 100th!
I've been quilting for one year. I'm still very much a beginner because I don't have a lot of time for it. I love it though and just bought my first Bernina!
I'd love to be entered into your giveaway!
My goodness. I'm glad I read about your blog on another. I'm SO gonna be a follower!!
I'd blog about you myself but alas, I don't have one. I should start one but haven't yet. *sigh*
Dernit! I was diggin' your blog so much I forgot to say how long I've been quilting. *sigh*
I've been doing it about 8yrs now. I learn something new every day!
Do I dare admit I've been quilting since 1973?! Time flies when you're having fun quilting! Stay dry and thanks for the giveaway!
Pat, I've been quilting since I gave myself a concussion skiing, well actually the tree gave me the concussion and we won't discuss what it did to my knee. It was the winter of 93 I started I think - mmm now I need to figure it out....
Congrats on 150 very entertaining posts. See you soon. malarson
Pat on labor day I celebrated 4 years of quilting bliss.
What a wonderful give away! I come here by way of Gene. It feels like I have been quilting all my life, but I guess it is actually about 14 or 15 years.
Hi Pat I sure hope you going to be Ok how is it so far. I'll have you in my prayers that everything will be OK.
Well I have only been quilting since Oct. 2008 yea in a few weeks it will be 1 year. and I have completed 4 smaller quilts but I still have I think its 11 tops waiting to get quilted. OOOO my I have to start to finish some of these before I start another one.
Wow - love the giveaway goodies. I have been quilting for less than a year although sewing for much longer. I started dreaming of quilts whilst doing the night feeds for my son and decided to give it a go to "get it out of my system" - now I seem to be slightly addicted!!
Congrats on so many posts. That's so neat and what a wonderful giveaway.
I've been quilting for almost 30 years and love it more each year.
How neat, 250 posts. I just started not quite a year ago so I still have a ways to go. I started quilting in 2001, I think. I never liked sewing but when I started quilting I couldn't stop. Over the years I have become more precise in my techniques and more bold in both my color choices and my design decisions. What I love most about quilting, besides the beautiful quilts I now live with, is the never ending variety. And the wonderful people I have met along the way.
Hi Pat - I am new to the world of blogging, but have started following them since my friend Paulette (Sweet P's Quilting) told me about her blog.
I have been quilting for almost 4 years, ever since I got a quilting course as a retirement present. I love it, especially applique and children's quilts.
Love to win your give-a-way!
Delores
Okay, it all started when my friend Carol from Canada visited me. I ended up buying a sewing machine and started quilting; must have been in 2006. And yes, her husband warned me about quilting addiction, but it was already too late...
About 2 weeks ago I started blogging. Have a look, I am still learning how to do things right... http://paintcreekquilt.blogspot.com/
Thank you for the give away!
Have started quilting about nine years now and getting more UFO than finished because lots of beautiful designs around to manuvre and tempting enough to put may hands on...:)
I have been quilting 13 years! That's a while and I still love it just as much as I did the first day!
Pat and Rachel sent me over!!! What can I say...
I started quilting about 4 years ago, I did just take my first official quilt class.
I haven't been quilting too long, about six months or so, but I've been loving it! My mother has been quilting for years and years, so I used to "help" her with projects when I was younger, so I suppose I've always been interested in doing it. In fact, just tonight, I was working on a baby quilt, and the needle on my machine broke, and I don't know how to fix it! It is my mother's old machine and she gave it to me, since she has a new one now. I'll have to call her for instructions :)
Your blog is lovely, I'll be back for sure!
Well, I've done little projects since junior high school...but now a few crafty projects with my four young kids. My biggest passion to do with quilting is drowling over fabulous pieces of art, that I will do someday:) and working on barnquilts in our county. Check us out www.barnquiltsiowa.com Your so wonderful to give out some fabulous prizes! If I win, mine will go to one of my fabulous sisters, my mom, or my aunt, or maybe my Granny. They all quilt and make me wonderful gifts!
I made my first quilt in 1974 & then took a long break until 1983. I have been seriously addicted for the last 20 plus years & much worse since I retired a few years ago!
I am CO.Coordinator for Home Of the Brave Quilt Project & I make lots of Quilts Of Valor for wounded soldiers.
I have been l wanting to try Aurifil thread so I hope that I win, apart from all the other wonderful gifts!!
My blog is www,ros-the-quilter.blogspot.com & I'm coming up on 200 posts so I need to have a giveaway too.
Blessings
I made my first quilt in 1975. It was for a friend who had a baby the same month my son was born.
I'm linking to your blog on my blog.
grammysquilting.blogspot.com
Oh no, I feel overwelmed . . . I have only been quilting a few months and havent completed my first yet (can I still enter?). I have bought some fabric and started cutting the blocks and also got my first "beginner quilting book" :) I can't wait till I am also able to say that I have been quilting for 20 years (lol).
Hello Pat, thankyou for giving us the opportunity to win some yummy things. I first started quilting about 3 years ago after reading Jennifer Chiaverini's first book The Quilter's Apprentice. Needless to say, the scrapbooking I was doing and the crosstitches fast became lost in the background and stashes of fabric! I am officially a stitching addict now. I mainly do handpiecing and quilting and love stitcheries but have done a machine pieced quilt. I have also read most of the Elm Creek books too now LOL. Thanks again
Congratulations on your 150th post.I've been quilting for over ten years and loving every minute of it.I love it so much I infected my sister with the bug and now she surpasses me....Isn't that what you do with something you love...pass it on :) Barb.
Way back when in 5th grade we were taught how to hand stitch quilt blocks. I loved it but never really did much quilting because I was in a family of knitters and crocheters. I did do some quilting in 2000 but became really hooked last year. Now, quilting is all I really want to do.
wish me good luck. I've been quilting since summer 2005, I've been to classes for 2 years and then learning on my own. I love blogging and learning new techniques in the Internet.
Well i actually got quilting items first in 2001 but did nothing then in 2006 after just getting more fabric ect i started to try to quilt i am still very much a beginner & i have to do my work by machine as i can't do it by hand due to hand problems i haven't done many items & am still very much learning i found a great quilting group a few months ago so am hoping to learn more now as before it was me on my own i would love to win your give-away, good luck to all those who enter
Hugs Janice

I am a follower now - hope the waters of Georgia recede- I have a friend who lives there too.
I have been quilting sporadically since the 1980's- I prefer applique, (and wool applique is a fav)over piecing, and am still trying to get the hang of free form machine quilting!!! Great blog and great giveaway - good luck to all!!!
I hope I'm not late.
Congratulatioons!
I do not quilt as much I like do , but I learned it in 1998 and I love it
Greetings from Estonia
Hey Pat, I think I have been quilting for about 5 years but it could be longer. Time gets away.
Where in Covington was your retreat?
Please put my name in the drawing.
I have been quilting since 1991. I started out with those "pre-cut" block kits from Joann's. Wow what a difference a decade or so makes...
I'm very happy you didn't float away.
Pam C.
What a fun blog you have. I've been quilting since 1986, and have loved making every stitch (some good, some bad)....
I've added a comment about your great giveaway on my blog - hoping to win tonight.
Hi Pat! Iwas sent here by Rachel so this is my first visit. I've been quilting on and off fo about thirty years. I've been seriously or should I say quilting steadily since 1994.
Happy 150 posts and I'll pray that the rain lets up for you guys.
What a wonderful blog...and giveaway! I love to find new and inspirational blogs! I've been quilting less than a year...and am totally addicted to it. Thank you for the opportunity. I'll be back, for sure!
I have been up all night with my 3 year old baby boy. In the midst of his fever he kept on singing twinkle twinkle... I am so grateful to be his mom. I took my first quilting class in 1994 and started in earnest once I finished university in 1999. I can't imagine my life without it, or my very own silver thimble!
Congrats and I can't wait to get to know you better!
And I pray the flooding will subside...
I was a self taught quilter; made my first quilt almost 30 years ago. Then in 1990, I took a class and learned the secret of the rotary cutter! What a great invention!!!!! I have never bought a layer cake so would be tickled to own this one and find something wonderful to make with it! OH, and I don't have my own blog so that's good for an extra entry...bless your heart! I hate being penalized for READING BLOGS AND NOT WRITING BLOGS!
Hi Pat! What a great give away. Thanks for a chance to win! I've been sewing for years and years, but an official quilter now for 3 years, thanks to you and Stitch N Quilt and Thimbles and ,of course, I'm addicted!! Love your blog...
Happy "anniversary". I'd love to win this giveaway.
I started quilting in 1999. I walked past a quilt shop, and there was a quilt in the window. I loved the quilt, went into the shop, and that was it - hooked.
Wonderful giveaway! I have been quilting for about 10 months. Still learn! And I am off to post about your giveaway on my blog.
I would love to be entered into your giveaway! I have been quilting sporatically for awhile(10 years) but have gotten more time to quilt in the past 3 years. I love it more and more as time goes on!!
I'm the winner of this one for sure! I've been quilting since 1993, sewing for waaaaaaaaaay longer than that. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I was introduced to quilting and needlework about 4 years ago. Although,my stash appears to have been building for way more years! Thanks for the giveaway!!
2nd Post. I don't have a blog that I write in, but I'm subscribed to way too many!!! I do love them.
Congratulations on your 150th post. And a giveaway is certainly a fun way to celebrate.
Count me in!

Over 10 years--wow. I don't think I've actually thought about it...
I'd love the goodies!
I did post a link on my blog post yesterday Pat- as well I posed the same question on my blog..
It looks like you have had lots of visitors and that is the fun part.
Warmest regards,
Anna
Hi I have been quilting off and on (between birth of children, overseas move, life etc) since 1991. I am so glad that I have taken it up again and met so many on blogs, so many inspirations to find. Your giveway is wonderful,
What a nice treat your inviting us for... count me in! I'll tell about it on my blogg as well :-)
I've been quiltning for several year now, my first try was in 1993... but real hooked since 4 years back...
Susanne
I took my 1st clas at a JO ANN'S in 1987 a gift from my son Nick unfortantly that QUILT a sampler still isn't done ( aquilt as you go sampler) And the rest is history!
Aye Carumba, 119 comments. How nice for you that so many people like to read your blog. I read often just don't have a lot of comment time....
I have been quilting since 1990. I took a class thru our local night school and did a queen size trip around the world. Nothing like being overly ambitious for a first timer....BUT, my daughter still uses it at 25 yo and won't give it up for anything else I make....

Pat, I was visiting "Marty's Fiber Musings" and learned of your giveaway and here I am.
I've blogged about your Giveaway and really can't decide which of your lovelies I prefer. Any would be wonderful.
I've been quilting regularly since 2000 and enjoy certain aspects more than others with acquiring new fabic at the top of the list.
We, here in Mid-Missouri know the powers of flooding. We experienced it in '93 and '95.
Will think positve thoughts about the weather conditions in your area.
Thanks for the opportunity to find your blog.
although I made my first quilt after inheriting my Momma Newt's sewing machine when she died in 1995... it wasn't until around 2005 that I really consider I began quilting.. as in sewing at least once a week. ;) Now I can't get enough of it! Discovering quilter's message boards and Blogs have helped that a lot!
Thanks for such a fun giveaway! Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Happy 150th post. I've been quilting since 1995. Thanks for the great give-away.
Great giveaway!! I like all those nice things you've selected. I'm quilting since 2001, I was 27 years old back then. Finally a quiltshop opened it's doors nearby, and finally I could learn what I wanted for so long. We have quiltshops and exhibitions in Holland, but we can use more quilters here.
Looks like I missed the giveaway but have a very happy blogging for many more years! :)
Happy sewing!
Zlaty
