Congratulations Sandy! If you send me your mailing information, I will pop your wonderful prize in the mail as soon as I get it! To everyone else- Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and for entering my giveaway- you truly made my first blogoversary a special one! I have enjoyed reading your comments and for those who have a blog I enjoyed checking them out! Hope to hear from you all again soon and maybe some of you may start your own blog too! If ya do please let me know and I will pop over and visit!

Again I will leave you with some pics of one of my favorite quilts and the spectacular detail from the Quilter Heritage Celebration. This quilt is a Baltimore album quilt - which is something I really would like to do someday. The detail in the applique is just stunning and I love how she personalized her blocks too. I must say that this show gets better every year I attend!

Well, hope you enjoyed the pics- I will be back later to blog more about the show and hopefully to reveal the quilt from the sneak peak last week!
Until then Happy Quilting!

Wonderful Blogland!

WoW! I must say that I am so overwhelmed by all the bloggy love! It has been so wonderful to see how everyone has started blogging! Thank you all so much for your responses! I just wanted to let you all know I had not forgotten you- I just have several more comments and entries to go through so I will be back soon to give the winner of the drawing!

So while I go through them all I thought I would leave you with a bit of a taste of the Quilter's Heritage Celebration in Lancaster PA. I will tell you all about it when I come back to announce the winners!
See you soon!

Blogoversary and a giveaway!

Wow! Hard to believe that it has been a year since I started blogging! What a year it has been! I have loved every minute of it! I have met some wonderful people and realized how small the world can be thanks to technology. I have learned a lot, been inspired a ton and most of all had my heart warmed by the generosity of bloggy quilters! In a thanks and celebration of my blogoversary, I have decided to have my first giveaway! So here it goes..... Leave me a comment and I will have a drawing for this wonderful pattern and fat quarter bundle!



The fat quarter bundle is from Urban Chicks latest line "Sweet" by Moda and the pattern is from Fig Tree Quilt's quarterly publication Fresh Vintage- which if you have not checked out- do! It is awesome!

And to make it fun, in your comment please tell me where you are from and how you got started blogging! I will start:

Hi my name is Cara and I am from Maryland- a small town just north of Baltimore. I got started blogging after reading an article in McCall's Quilting by Holly Holderman. I started surfing the quilt blogs and decided I wanted to be part of the fun!

So, please leave me a comment by Sunday and I will draw that next day! Oh and if you post a link to this giveaway on your blog let me know and I will give you 2 extra entries!
Have fun and I look forward to reading your comments!
Thanks for a great year! (*just in the nick of time!)
