Fall-into-fall Giveaway


Thank you for visiting........

This post was edited Friday afternoon October 1st.....I've decided to extend the giveaway to current followers or new followers from Canada.

This is the day we have been waiting for.......let the fun begin.  Click on the scarecrow button and find all the giveaway bloggers that are participating.

I'm a new blogger and this is my first giveaway.  I'm hoping you like it.

If you like Halloween you will love it.

If you like Amanda Jean's designs from Crazy Mom Quilts you will love it and .......an autographed pattern "Fair and Square" by Amanda Jean is included. Thanks bunches Amanda Jean.

It is a Halloween quilt kit that includes all fabric for the top and binding.  It measures 48" x 66" and the backgound fabric is Kona Black.

This quilt kit is packaged in a quilted Halloween Schlep bag made by me. They are wonderful bags. If you win this giveaway you will want a different bag for every season....I love the Christmas ones. Go shopping and someone at the checkout is likely to say "did you make your bag"? They are fun to make and I've made many.........

Also included will be a Halloween surprise.

To enter the giveaway.........

...........leave an encouraging comment for a new blogger saying why you love blogland and you will get 1 chance to win. Comments short and sweet are OK.

...........leave a 2nd comment telling me you are a follower already and if you have left me a comment in a past post.  It doesn't matter if you say no.  You will still get a 2nd entry just because you are a follower already.  BOO HOO I only had 13 followers at the start of this giveaway.   Future comments are always welcome.

..........if you become a new follower you will get a 2nd chance but you must leave a separate comment telling me you are a new follower and hopefully you will leave me a comment in the future.  Short and sweet ones are great.

.........for a 3rd chance visit Mama Spark's blog, click on the Star Quilt Button  on the top left.  One click and it takes you directly to her quilt and the voting page.   Come back to my blog and tell me what # her quilt is.  There are 15 finalists in the contest and it closes on October 4....so if you want to vote for her do it before then.  You will get a 3rd chance just by leaving a comment on this blog telling me what # her quilt is.

If I reach 100 followers from this giveaway I'll draw a second giveaway......a Christmas Schlep Bag.

......... Mama Spark has a Fall-into-fall Giveaway for you and if you love this one you are going to love hers too.   Most times I call her Pam.......sometimes Mama Spark and in the few blogs I've written I usually call her TAP...... and it stands for "The Amazing Pam".  Become a follower and you will know why....she is amazing.  She has introduced me to this wonderful world of blogging.  Thank you TAP.

If you are the winner...I must be able to contact with you. Make sure your email address is valid and available in your blog ........if you do not have a blog.... include your email address in all your comments.  If I can not contact you I will have to draw another name.

Now for the last part of business.  I'm sorry to say that for this giveaway I am going to limit it to the US only.   I have decided to extend the giveaway to anyone living in Canada......but you must be a follower already or become a new follower to be able to win.  If you have commented already and you are feeling sad......... follow the instructions above and you will get 3 chances to win too.   I am new at this.... so please bear with me..... and please come back and visit me again......... Thank you to everyone in blogland for all your encouragement.

Hugs

  35. Blogging is a great way to talk to yourself and know that you are heard. It was called journaling during my grandmother's time. Blogging allows you to see how much you have changed over time and you meet the nicest people. cwhippc@aol.com

  50. Hi, saw your quilts at the Belleville quilt show. Although the lighting was poor, your quilts were very pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Blogging takes a lot more thought and time than people realize. But the payoff of having a community and people rooting for you is the big payoff! Also, if you have a question like: Which binding should I go with? Then you get instant feedback.

I do a lot of networking with quilters on Facebook and Twitter, but this hop is my first big venture into blogland and it's amazing, really amazing. Maybe next year I will have my own blog and join in this fun giveaway.

  71. HI Quilt n Queen,
    Welcome to Blogland- I am sure that you are going to enjoy meeting quilters from around the globe who share your passion for quilting. It is a wonderful network of people from all over the world.

    I encourage you to ask questions if you are not sure about something- Most quilters are thrilled to help another quilter out.
    I love the wallpaper on your blog- it looks great.
    Thanks for hosting a nice giveaway.
    Regards,
    Anna

  75. Your profile states you have no sense of direction; this is my husband to a T. He gets so lost I always wonder how he ever got around before we got married. One time he went to a business to give a job bid and couldn’t find his way out of the building; he ended up walking into a meeting and someone helped him!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I am following you now, feel free to check out my blog too

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

I have met so many wonderful quilters thru blogging! Thanks for the fun giveaway! Oh, if I am lucky enough to win (fingers crossed!), please know that my computer is going to be in the shop the 14-18th, so I won't be able to respond then, but I will be back many times! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  85. I love the background of your blog. It is very unique and appropriate! It makes me just want to reach out and touch the fabric. :) Good luck with your blogging adventures!

    ReplyDelete
  86. And...you have a new follower. :)

    ReplyDelete
  87. I believe Pam's quilt is #9. And it's quite beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I have been blogging for a few years now. I don't blog every day, just when I feel the need or have something to share. I like to show my projects, quilt and non-quilt related. I have made some wonderful friends through blogging and wouldn't have met these lovely people if I had not done this. When I started out, I didn't think anyone would care or want to hear what I had to say. All of my friends stay in touch with me to see what I'm doing. Several call me and ask me what's wrong if I don't post. I have learned alot from other bloggers and their tutorials. Blogging is now a part of me and I don't think I'll ever be able to stop. Good luck and I hope you continue to blog.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Mama Spark's quilt is number 9 of 15. I voted for her and I hope she wins. It's beautiful..thanks and Happy Fall.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I blog because it's fun and a place to share my creativity. I get so much inspiration from fellow bloggers.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hi, I'm a fairly new blogger as well. I don't put too much pressure on myself about my blog, because I only have a bit of time to dedicate to it and because it's for me. So I blog about quilts but about other things that strike my fancy too. I've decided that it's nice when people follow and to get comments but I'm not going to be desperate about it - again in the end the blog is most important to me. Hopefully I'll make some friends (and I have made some already. Thanks for a chance to win your prize. I love Halloween fabric. I'm a Canadian so was thrilled to see you changed your rules.

    ReplyDelete
  92. And I have become a new follower.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Mama Sparks is # 9 of 15. I voted for her.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I'm relatively new to blogging (since the end of July). Quite a few people read my blog already, which is surprising. Also, I love having a country counter up that shows the many different countries that my readers come from.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I visited Mama Spark, and her quilt is #9 out of 15

    ReplyDelete
  96. You can make new friends blogging. I have a couple of really sweet ones that I have gotten to know via blogging. Good luck!!

    ReplyDelete
  103. New follower here from Ontario - small world - I was in Waterloo a few weeks ago visiting Lens Mills :D

    Blogland is incredible - it's amazing to get to "know" people (usually from far off places!) by reading about their lives on a computer screen. I've met many internet people over the years, and in fact will be going to visit one of them in Pennsylvania in 2 weeks, hehe (hi, Mickie!) :) Let's not forget about the tutorials that bloggers are so generous in sharing ... and the inspirational photos and links and pictures ... blogland is THE BEST!

    ReplyDelete
  104. Well hello there! Thank you for the lovely comments you left on my blog. Coincidentally, I, too, only had 13 followers at the start of the "Fall into Fall" giveaway. I've been blogging for about 9 months now, posting my first post on January 22, 2009. It's taken me a while to get into a rhythm though. I felt I was either posting too lengthy posts, or too far in between. Then I just decided I wasn't going to worry about it anymore, and just let it come naturally. I feel like I'm talking to friends when I'm writing a post, and I love when I get comments back. As you can see, I can get very wordy, and did not follow your instructions to keep it short and to the point. Oops!

    ReplyDelete
  105. Hello Quilt n Queen, I'm now following your blog, and I love your "Fall into Fall' giveaway offering!

    ReplyDelete
  106. Voted for Mama Spark's quilt, and it's number 9! Also now following her blog. :)

    ReplyDelete
  107. I love the community feel of blogland, I have met some amazing friends. I have learned so much from reading the blogs. I can talk to fabric designers, pattern designers and quilters just like myself.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I have become a follower of your blog.

  109. Mama Sparks star quilt is # 9 and very beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I love blogland and blogging for many reasons but this kind of giveaway is just one! Quilters are very generous and LOVE networking and sharing stories. Large event giveaways, or just posting a blog allow us to do that every day.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I'm a new follower. I hope you get a chance to pop over and visit my giveaway and maybe you'll like what you see enough to follow along there, also. If not, that's alright, too.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I love blogging because I like to meet people who have the same interests as me. I also like blogging because I get to see what people are creating (and with digital cameras nowadays it's so much easier to visually share with each other!)

    Thank you for the generous giveaway!

    Blessings, Jessica

    ReplyDelete
  122. I went to Mama Sparks blog and clicked on her star but it wouldnt let me view anything and it said the voting was not available :( But based on the posts above Im guessing her quilt was number 9. :)

    ReplyDelete
  123. Too cute!!
    I love blogs bc there is so much inspiration out there and I love the tutorials. The only thing I don't like is it makes my quilts feel so inferior :(

    ReplyDelete
  124. You will love blogging. There are so many wonderful people and events to get involved in. Inspiration is never ending.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I am a fan of Pam's too. Isn't she amazing? I met her when I participated in her RW&B quilt for the soldier. I am glad to see she is a finalist as I did vote.

    ReplyDelete
  126. blogging is AWESOME! You get to show off to lots of people!

    ReplyDelete
  127. i'm a new follower

    ReplyDelete
  128. This is my first year of blogging, and I have enjoyed most of it. For me, I just want to keep a balance and not let the blog own me or let others own my blog. I've certainly been more creative since beginning it. Good luck and thank you for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I visited Mama Spark's blog, clicked on the star quilt, got to the voting page, but couldn't view the quilts. I think I got a peek from one of her posts, but can't tell you her number. That's quite an honor to be a finalist in the McCall's contest. I love their website.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Blogs are great! A new blogger can find great insight and inspiration online to the average quilter!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Blogs are a great way to learn to quilt! I learned to quilt on the internet in the 90's when all we had was email and ascii drawings. Blogs have pictures and video!! and the ability to search for anything you want!!

    ReplyDelete
  132. have not made it to blogworld but think it must be a great way to make new friends with similar interests.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Thanks for such a fun giveaway. I am a first time reader but I will be back. Making friends in blog land is what it is all about!

    ReplyDelete
  134. Well I love blogland, because I'm super busy but it is my mini-vacation in quilting world! I don't have any quilting guilds or many friends (military life deems I have no life!) Its nice to see new patterns and designs!

    ReplyDelete
  135. I really enjoy seeing what other people are making. That is what I like about blogs.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I have no idea what a schlep bag is but it is cute! Newbies can get great quilting/crafting tips and tutorials on various blogs, and, have fun 'getting acquainted' with others all around the world.

  140. We started blogging about the same time. I only have 5 followers. I don't care. I love blogging and reading others blog. Try thinking like me, blogging is a place that I can record what I am doing with pictures and words. Hang in there it will get better, look how many followers you have now.

  161. I think the biggest thing to remember about blogging is that while feedback is great - it's what you think about yourself and your work that matters most.

  164. Well I have looked and looked for Mama Sparks star quilt button but can't seem to find it. I have read where you had to vote before the 4th so maybe the button is gone I don't know. I wish I could have see her quilt and the others. From what I have read in the comments it was #9. Does this still count as a post?

  165. I am a reader right now and not a blogger-yet I am seeing how they run and what people do with blogging. I have enjoyed visiting all the blogs and have done lots of reading!
    Thanks for the lovely giveaway

  166. I went to Pams blog. I was already a follower there - yeah! I missed the star quilt voting - but what an honor to be in it! I searched and searched but could not find what number quilt she was - I did not want to "cheat" and look at earlier comments either. You may disqualify this chance if you like - but I did find her quilt and it was lovely.
