100th Post Giveaway!!!

Well somehow I have managed to write 100 whole pages about craft stuff! It has taken me a year and a half but it still seems quite an achievement.
But there wouldn’t be much point me writing anything at all if you lovely people weren’t out there reading it. So as a big THANK YOU and to celebrate my 100th post here is a GIVEAWAY!
You could win everything in the photo above!

10 (yes 10!) fat quarters of yummy Amy Butler, Tanya Whelan and Rowan fabrics (plus a few interesting randoms) could all be heading your way!

A little something for my non-sewings readers, this lovely ball of Rico wool. I just used this wool to make another pair of gloves, my nicest yet I think (sorry no photo, bit of a rushed present!). I also use this wool to make lots of my mini owls, and those ones always sell first!

And last but not least, one of my Framed Mini Quilts! It is in fact the last one, as I have sold the other 3. It is very cute and comes with the box frame. So even if you are not crafty at all, and don’t need fabric or wool, you’ll still get a nice prize!

Here’s how you can win all this booty. Just leave me a comment, you can say whatever you want, something nice about my blog  (something nasty about my blog for that matter!), something funny, something sad, anything you want, even just ‘hello’! I wanted to make this giveaway as easy as possible.
If you follow me leave another comment telling me you do and you get another entry. Post about this giveaway on your own blog and leave me a comment with a link and get another entry. So that is a maximum of 3 entries per person.
There will be just ONE WINNER, who will get EVERYTHING! 
International entries are very welcome.
You have till midnight on Wednesday 12th January (that’s nearly a week!) to enter. I will then have a go at the old ‘random number generator’ lark that is so popular with blog giveaways.
Good luck everyone!
NB. Don’t forget to make sure I can contact you by email. I have had a few entries already from ‘No-Reply’ commenters. Please make sure your google account/profile has your email address entered, otherwise I can’t reply to your comments to let you know if you have won!

  9. I would love everything you have in your giveaway, wonderful items.
    I use yarn in art quilts and felting and love the colors in that skein. We used to have a nice store with all kinds of yarns at good prices, but they closed. Love your little mini piece. When I make small quilts, I use a double backed rug tape to hang them. That way you can hang them anywhere and take them off without hurting the piece.

  23. What an exciting giveaway. I've just gotten back to quilting after a hiatus of about 15 years. 15 years ago, I wasn't that good anyway and now I'm looking to improve my skills. Winning the fabric in your giveaway would really be a nice addition to my fabrics. Thanks for the opportunity.

  24. I just found your blog so I am a new follower. That little quilt is so cute and I like the other things you have posted. I look forward to following your blog.

  25. Congratulations on your 100th post. I would have liked to see how the gloves turned out. Some of my friends knit socks and they are just so beautiful with the varigated yarn.

  26. I'd like to compliment you on your blog header. It's so cute and charming. I read abut your giveaway on Linda's blog, Stray Stitches. I'm visiting for the first time, but I hope to be back. Congrats on 100 posts.

  27. OMGoodness I LOVE the mini quilt, I started quilting just 3 months ago; but my mini quilts are HUGE and nowhere near as beautiful! LOVEL the giveaway!

  30. I congratulate you on your 100th post and what a wonderful give away. So many entries, but my daughter loves Amy Butler fabrics, so I am here. And a mini would look so lovely with my collection on the wall.

  31. я стала постоянным читателем вашего блога, с удовольствием прочитаю следующие 100 страниц

  32. Your miniature quilt looks interesting, would love to see it up close. What size pieces squares or strips did you start with? Your Granny Square love looks like a good inspiration for a simple but stylish quilt! Thank you for this giveaway. Very kind of you.

  33. I would love to learn to quilt. My mom and I were supposed to take a class three years ago and then she passed away suddenly. I couldn't bring myself to go alone. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    Blessings,

  34. I have just found your blog and have spent ages looking through it. You have some beautiful quilts. I, too, love Sarah and Kathy's books Material Obsession One & Two and there are so many quilts I want to make from both those books.

    Congrats on your 100th post.

  35. Hi! After just commenting with a great THANK YOU for the wonderful house-pincushion tutorial, I see that you are giving away these great items.
    I live in the Netherlands, so will probably not qualify for any of these. I hope someone else will be happy with them!
    But I would love to compliment you for your 100 blogs, the great inspiration you give this way and wish you many, many more happy blogs!
