As I posted last week, I was close to 100 followers and 1000 posts and plan to have a giveaway for both. Since this is post 999, this one will be about the giveaway for followers. As of this morning I have 105 followers – I appreciate each one of you and would love to send you each something but that just won’t work. Instead, if you are a follower (new or old) and post a comment on this message, I will pick a name for this.
This is a great basket from Baskets by Dawn. It is called a cabinboy and I liked it so much somehow I bought two. It is great to carry any small project – applique, embroidery, yo-yos or even socks. Just now looking at the basket, I see that there is even a dime in it. Not sure how that got there but I will send it along to the winner. I am sure I can find a few more things to put in the basket before it goes into the mail to the lucky follower.
In your comment, tell me what you are currently working on. No other requirements other than that you are a follower and you post a comment. I will be at a retreat/vacation until the 20th so will pick the winner on July 21, which is my grandson Emilio’s 7th birthday!
Stay tuned for another giveaway announcement on my 1000th post.
Added: If you do not hear back from me in a couple of days, it is because you are set to no-reply and I do not have your email address. If you are set as no-reply you need to give me your email address or I can’t contact you. Unfortunately, that means your name will not go into the drawing.

What a great give-a-way. I don't suppose your sister can win? Congratulations on having so many followers and 1000 posts, Wow!
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower, does that count? :) This basket is adorable! I can see why you bought two!

Melinda congratulations on 100 & 1000! I love your blog almost as much as I love your quilts.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a quilt for my grand daughter. I have 6 grands with one on the way and have only finished quilts for the two oldest (3 & 2 yo). I need to get busy!
Oops, I forgot to tell you what I am working on! I am working on a disappearing 9 patch quilt for my FIL. I have the top together, just trying to decide if it needs borders and need to piece the back.

Right now I'm working on a baby quilt that will be a shower gift next Sunday!! The pressure is on.
I just started my own blog and look forward to reaching your numbers.
Love the giveaway.

I've been reading your blog for several years and I enjoy seeing what you're working on. I'm working on a large scale Grandmother's Flower Garden that I cut out in the early 90's using Sharon Hultgreen's Easy Hexagons Ruler. My taste in fabric sure has changed over the years! I'll be glad to get this UFO done. It is ALL Y seams! Good thing I don't mind doing them!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower (though I read your blog all the time in google reader) and am working on some knitting (dishcloths and tribbles) right now on vacation...when I get home it will be back to quilting!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and am working on Paradigm Shift from McCall's Quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thank you gift for one of your lucky followers ... maybe me! My current project is organizing and packing up my fabric before a move. (not one of the more fun things to be doing, but it's what I'm doing ...)
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower. I am working on another baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous giveaway! I follow you and am currently working on a quilt for my bed.

1000 posts! Wow! That's impressive. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with us! I do follow your blog. I am currently working on sewing the rows together on a small quilt. My sewing room is upstairs. It gets real hot on summer afternoon so I've stopped sewing for the day. Take care! Enjoy your retreat!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Lovely gift You got. I am a follower and I am finishing a table runner this week (I hope).Have a great summer!!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed, 1000 posts is awesome! I'm one of your followers. I've just finished some blocks for a charity quilt and now I'm back onto my Gardener's Journal Quilt. I just love that Cabin Boy, I think it would love a trip OS!
ReplyDeleteHey Melinda. I'm a follower too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my hexagon quilt.......still! :) Have FUN at your retreat.
Currently I am making backings for two quilts. I am also making blocks for 3 BOMs. I follow through Bloglines. And I love the basket!
ReplyDeleteI love following your blog, and have gotten so much inspiration from you! I am currently machine quilting a baby quilt- first time ever!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching these wonderful milestones!
1000 posts Wow! I am currently working on a quilt for my daughter - a graduation gift although she graduated a couple of weeks ago. It is a pattern she picked out, called Stars and Scraps Forever and is done in plaids. So far it is looking pretty.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! tha's a lot of posts!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my block-a-days and putting another top from them together this week, don't know if I'll play with adding borders-just wanting to get the blocks and sashing together!
Cool basket, Melinda. I'm working on repairing a decorator quilt for someone else right now then I want to get on my National Park bandana quilt.

Glad to count myself as a follower even though I've only been for the last hundred or so posts. I have been working on a feathered star quilt - actually I have 12 of the 13 stars finished. I also am working in a couple of knitted sweaters for my tv time. The basket sure would look good holding my yarn!
ReplyDeleteI just found you, and I'm enjoying your blog very much! Right now I'm working on a heart quilt to be given as a wedding gift. It is scrappy reds and pinks with kona white. Now I'm off to read mire of your blog. (;
ReplyDeleteLove that basket! It'll be great to keep a yoyo project I want to start this fall for a tablecloth I've been meaning to make since forever! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy last projects have been not so much quilty ones...a dress to hem for a bridesmaid, curtains for my grandson's new room (waiting for baby bro to take the nursery over), nursing covers and burp cloths. After that, no sewing till Aug/Sept. My brother and his family along with my mother are driving up from Florida to spend a few weeks...need to deep clean and prepare for that....
Melinda I have signed up as a follower :-) Thanks for such a sweet giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAlways love seeing what you're working on. I'm currently working on the border for a small Christmas quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm in as a follower. Love the basket!! Such a cute tote for stitchery and hand applique projects. Did I tell you I have lots of stitchery and applique projects that need a home;)

ReplyDeleteAwesome basket! I just discovered your blog and just became a follower today - I hope that counts. I am working on a pattern from American Jane called mini merry-go-round. It uses a honey bun and a jelly roll. I'm also getting ready to cut out a purse for my daughter.
