I have a fun Idea.

I love blogging and reading everyones blog I follow daily. However, I want to have a little more fun. How about some BINGO, except mine is called QUILT. I saw this on a "group" I belong to and got their permission to use this on my blog. However, I've changed some things up a bit.

Here's how it will work. If you want to play, your payment to play is a fat quarter per card. That means you can play more than one card, but up to 4. So, no more than 4 cards. You send me the fat quarters. (I will not play, I'm just the hostess) I will send you a bingo/quilt cards that I've custom made, with the Internets help of course. You can print your bingo card and mark on it, or you can leave it in the word text it's in and highlight each number daily with word. No need in sending me the cards back once you have bingo because I have the cards numbered and they are all different and once I send you a card, I'll assign your name to it. You can keep using that card over and over, or if you request a new card, I can do that as well. I also have a call out sheet, so once you tell me you have bingo I'll compare your card to the sheet. Got it??

I will let you know before I start calling numbers what the pattern to win bingo will be. I have a random # generator and once it chooses a # my call sheet will tell me the letter. Like I said, I'm using QUILT instead of BINGO. So, it will be like Q7 and so on. I'll post the random #'s for all to see. I'll do Bingo post separate from my other post. When you get bingo, leave a comment on the latest bingo post and I'll compare your card with the call out sheet.

We if have 10 people playing (or more cards) that's how many fat quarters you'll receive. I will be in charge of mailing to the winner. Sound easy enough? Let me know what you all think? I'm pretty sure I have it all ironed out. Deadline to let me know you'd like to play will be Aug 10th. I'd like to start the game on Aug 15th. That will give you all plenty of time to get your fat quarters to me and for me to get your cards to you.

Please, any questions....let me know. I don't want to miss anything. I think this will be fun.

*Note: I will email the Bingo cards. That way for my UK players and anyone they will have the cards quickly and not wait for the mail.

Fabric from Vacation

What a loot! I got all this while on vacation in Ohio. My MIL gave me most of the fat quarters, the jelly roll and those two patterns for my birthday in August. She gave it to me now so she wouldn't have to ship it. Those two patterns actually have 5 patterns each on them. Can't wait to get started on these. Those two yarn bundles I got for tieing off a quilt. Yes, I know you don't normally use yarn. But you know me, I always do things differently. I wasn't sure the blue/yellow/green was what I needed so I got the white just in case. This is my first time tieing off a quilt and I must say, it's easy peasy. I may never "quilt" again. NOT...... Enjoy my new loot and please don't drool on it. ;)

100th Post Giveaway!!

Welcome, you have found my 100^th 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.
