Edit: My weekly feature, Sunday's Summary will be back next week after the hop!
I haven't had a giveaway on my blog for some time so I thought that this would be a good time. I joined the Beat the Winter Blues ~ Quilter's Blog Hop Party over at Quilting Gallery. There you can find a list of participants.
I haven't had a giveaway on my blog for some time so I thought that this would be a good time. I joined the Beat the Winter Blues ~ Quilter's Blog Hop Party over at Quilting Gallery. There you can find a list of participants.
On my last week's Sunday's Summary I showed a little pincushion that I made to adhere to the side of my machine.
I made it from left over HST from my Giraffe Love baby quilt. It is only 1 1/2" square. I love having it on the side of my machine...a new favorite notion!
So I made a few more for you!
I will be giving away 2 of these mini pincushions to 2 winners (design...my choice.) I promise that some goodies will also be included. The 1st winner will be chosen by Mr. Random Generator and is open to all. The 2nd winner will be limited to my Google Friends Connect (GFC) followers (also chosen by Mr. Random Generator.)
Here are the rules:
1. Please only one comment per person.
2. Tell me your favorite quilting notion.
3. If you are a GFC follower (new or old), tell me in your comment.
4. If you are a no reply blogger, please leave your email in your comment.
5. I will pick the winners sometime on March 15th.
Note: the pincushions are stuffed with a combination of crushed walnut shells and polyester fiberfill.
Good Luck and enjoy the Hop!
