100th Post Giveaway!!

Welcome, you have found my 100th giveaway post. I’m digging this giveaway. I’ve been looking forward to it since like post 80. lol I started this blog in 2007 and just now reaching 100. WOW….actually when I started it, I wasn’t that regular. I had one post in 2007 and a then picked it up regularly in December of 2008. I started this as a way for family to see what I was up to, and how I was using my sewing machine (since I received it as a gift). Now, it has grown to an addiction. Guess there could be worse addictions huh?

Here’s what you’ll win:

*14 fat quarters, yes, you read that right 14 fat boys

*2 templates sets-1 stars & 1 hearts

*electric scissors (edited 6/16/09) I found an extra set of blades that go with this scissors

*an adorable picture frame says “if friends were flowers I’d pick you” and I even framed a cute piece of fabric in the frame. The picture don’t do it justice, the fabric looks great in there.

*a vintage pack of rick rack, and when I say vintage I mean 1978 (I have a feeling I’ll get lots of comments on that) I mean I was only 3 at the time. LOL

*5 yards of Metallic Gold ribbon

So, here’s the low down. I would love to have more followers. To my current followers, if you’ll mention this in one of your posts (and tell me you did so) to send people over my way, you’ll get 3 entries. You don’t have to make a special post, just mention it in one of yours. If you just want to leave a comment but are a follower and don’t want to mention on your blog, you’ll get 2 entries. If your new to my blog and become a follower you’ll get 2 entries as well. Just be sure to tell me you just became a follower. And I’ll double check my “followers” list. ;) I will post this on my side bar till June 21st. We leave for Pigeon Forge, TN. next Wednesday the 17th. We will return on the 21st and draw for a winner. Then the following week we leave for Ohio. Oh how I love Summer Vacations. So, that leaves this drawing open for about a week and half.

Go on, enter…….tell all your blogging buddies. I want followers!!

I thought I was a follower on your blog as I know you are on mine. What a nice and generous give-a-way. I certainally will blog about the give-a-way but I don't have a large following either. Even when I did my Easter one it didn't get much attention, it does sometimes get frustrating. I love reading everyones and will continue. Happy Quilting

I saw a mention on ...and Sew On's blog about this giveaway. After reading I decided I would follow. My sister lives down by Pidgeon Forge. Is there any chance you could swing by and slap her for me? She left the day before my grand daughter was born because she heard it might rain:|
