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.........

......... 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.

Hugs
I am now a follower to your blog , look forward to new posts!
ReplyDeleteHi. I read your friend Pam's and signed up to Follow and I've already subscribed in Google Reader to yours. I'm getting ready (or still procrastinating) on starting a Blog. I've started a photostream in Flickr and joined a couple of Bees and swaps. What fun! There seems to be so much to learn about using everything, I guess I'm a bit nervous. Anyway, good luck in blog land it's a wonderful place I've found full of every kind of person and every kind of passion you can think of to be inspired by!
ReplyDeleteWow, now you have 84 Followers!(I'm #84) Lucky you! Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the button you were talking about, so I looked in the post and found out it's No. 9. Was it removed because of the time period the contest is in? Anyway, I love all the other work she's done.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower! Thanks! ♥
ReplyDeleteI would say to a new blogger...blog about the things you love! Just post a few pics....enjoy visiting others and have fun! ♥
ReplyDeleteHer quilt is 9! Thanks! ♥
ReplyDeleteSome people would think me to be a nonblogger. I consider myself to be a future blogger. With a self imposed January 1st deadline to enter blogland, I want to thank you for taking the leap and getting your tooties wet. Thread me a needle and warm up my sewing machine, and I'll be there soon. Thank you for the inspiration to jump into blogland too! Love your blog!

I follow your blog :) I popped to you from Mama Sparks. Since the voting period is over, the button and quilts aren't there anymore. I even went to McCall's site, but there not showing the quilts after the voting period is closed. Sniff sniff. I wish her (and you) luck!

I am an new quilter and I love blogs. I like to see what others are doing and that finishing is really possible.
ReplyDeleteI have become a follower.
ReplyDeleteLove your giveaway...I love it when people include something they've made.
ReplyDeleteI love blogland for the inspiration and tutorials I find from other crafters/quilters. I also enjoy sharing my own creations. Your sharing of your talent helps us all!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteBeing a moderately new mom and being cut off from the crafting world for several years, blogland has been a wonderful find - I can connect with other crafters despite my crazy schedule. It's like having an "on-demand" quilt guild meeting! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm follower 92... hoping you make 100!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to blogging. I really like the resources you learn about for quilting and sewing. Your giveaways are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway, I don't have halloween fabrics...
ReplyDeleteHi Pauline, Your blog is adorable and your pictures are great. I love blogging as I get so much inspiration from everyone. I enjoy seeing what quilters are doing.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower, #93 Wow...you are going to make it to 100!!
ReplyDeleteI went to a link to see Mama Spark's blue and green star quilt. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI think the main reason I like blogs is because you can have contact with so many people from places you'd never hear from otherwise...
ReplyDeletethanks for the opportunity to win ~

I am entering for my daughter, her computer is down and she called and asked if once again I would enter her in contests, I couldn’t say no as she helps my wife and her mother with their charity quilting projects. I try to support them any way that I can, so here I am and I hope I am doing this right.
ReplyDeletethank you for putting our name in your drawing. Florida area

ReplyDeleteI am a follower, wow you are almost at 100! Good job!
ReplyDeleteAs for tip for a new blogger, well just keep at it. I took a 7 month break, when I came back I took a few weeks and make "catching up" posts, month by month, what I did and what I made all with pictures. So know that you CAN take a break but if you do it really is hard to start back up again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, I REALLY want to know where to get a pattern for the bag it is Awesome!
I just discovered the blogging world this year. I love that so many wonderful people are sharing their talents.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. Looks like you will make 100!
ReplyDeleteI would love new bloggers to see what much bloggers share!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for having this giveaway.
