Occasionally a blog I read has a giveaway...everyone loves giveaways and I used to add my name to each one in the hope I would win something.. the problem was I didn't care WHAT I won...and so I have some items in my sewing room that will never be used as they aren't my taste. No more.. Now when I see a giveaway I look very closely and say to myself "will I use this", "Do I like this style", "Do I like the (insert giveaway item here)''... Most of the time I will pass...I will not comment or if I comment I will let the blog owner know that I am not interested in the giveaway...
And then there are those times where I leave a comment while my fingers are crossed and I really really really want to win...
Here are two of those - They were both delivered today even though I certainly wasn't expecting anyone to add a trip to the post office to their last minute list of many things to do before Christmas...
First up is a giveaway by Pat Sloan.. Pat was the very first designer I stumbled upon after starting to quilt.. I even went on a McCalls Cruise because she was a teacher... She has such fun patterns and her great sense of humor and laughter is contagious... This is what I won...
 |
And then I was completely surprised to find out that I also won these from Amber at A Little Bit Biased...
 |
| 3 fat quarters |
 |
| four patterns |
 |
| a red and green pennant..I know that's a terrible photo, but I really wanted to hang it up..lol |
 |
| A beautiful pillow...that now has center stage on a chair in my living room.. |
Amber has a great blog with tutorials, Tuesday Tips and more inspiration than I will ever need.
If these two blogs aren't on your daily list of must reads...go visit..you might find something you like..like a giveaway!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours...I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season with family and friends... I'll be back after the first of the year.
