And we have a winner

As promised and nearly forgotten about because the new Sherlock episode is on I have done the draw for my giveaway.

I know other people do very imaginative ways of drawing the winner, but like I said Sherlock is on so I went for something quick.


Now I never believed that the first commentator ever wins in draws, but it did happen here I promise you.

http://scissorsandthread.blogspot.com/ who said "Thanks for the giveaway. I like coral, turquoise/green and blue and I still love red and aqua together too."

Colours I think I can work with. Once it is finished (please don't let me loose my quilting mojo again like I did before Christmas) I will share it with you all.
And to round things off nicely, Blogger is telling me that this is my 200th post! I can't believe I've waffled on that much over the last two years, although I think it is slightly lying as I think it is counting a draft post. Nevermind.

Thanks to everyone who entered, but there can only be one winner I'm afraid. Sorry!
 
Back to Sherlock........

Mystery Giveaway

Well, its two years today since I started this blog and I have to admit I had strong doubts about whether I would keep it up. I never imagined it would become such a big part of my life and chatting to fellow bloggers all around the world would be so much fun.

I've even signed up to the Fat Quarterly retreat later in the year and will get to meet some of you in real life.

You all have made me laugh and cry (usually from laughing too much), have been comfort when things are tough and inspired me to keep stretching myself with quilting. There are so many wonderful quilts and ideas I've seen that fill the wish list in my head.

I also love how generous the quilt blogging community is. Not just with giveaways but tutorials and patterns, such amazing resources.

But, this will be my first giveaway and I'm not really going to tell you what you will get! I have a plan to make something, but it might all go horribly wrong and then I will have to come up with something else. Either way, the winner will have to wait a while until I get it finished, but I will keep you informed so never fear.

To enter, there are no hoops to jump through, no bells and whistles. All I ask is you leave a comment and give me a combination of two or three or four colours that you are interested in at the moment. That's it.

The giveaway will use (hopefully) the colours the winner has mentioned which is why I can't start it beforehand.

I will leave it a week before I draw the winner, so this will close end of play Sunday the 8th Jan. and of course international entries are welcome.

Thanks for sticking with me all this time x

Another Go Giveaway

Sue over at Alderwood quilts is hosting another Go giveaway and she will ship outside the US so it makes me eligble.

I have to say that Sue seems to have the life I want, she owns a quilt shop and a lavender farm and now she has this toy to play with! Hmmph!

I'm supposed to be doing all the boring houseworky stuff like washing and ironing today. I got up full of great intentions!

Instead - I discovered giveaway day http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=7406 and am now surfing around loads of new blogs. I have so many in my reader that I can't keep up with at the moment but am still looking at these! And entering the giveaways. People are so generous with what they give. Hopefully I'll be lucky!!!
