Scraps and Strings: Giving back on my blogiversary

Giving back on my blogiversary

Today is exactly three years since I started this blogging adventure. At first I was worried I wouldn't have enough quilts to keep posting, but hanging out here in the blogosphere has provided me with lots of ideas and inspiration. I want to give you some of that back with a little needle case, like the ones pictured below.

Here's how you can win one -- be a follower! If you are a lurker, sign up to be a follower and leave a comment, and if you are already a follower and would like a chance to win, let me know in the comments. Please make sure I have a way to reach you. I'll pick two winners on Monday, Feb. 14.

Kathleen C said...: I've been a follower through Google Reader for a long time, and I'm glad I am. Congratulations on your blogging and thank you for sharing with your readers.
I'm a liberated quilter (and also a traditional appliquer and hand quilter), so your quilts always appeal to me.
I have a 'love thing' with hand sewing needles since I do lots of hand work, yet I've never made myself a cute needle case. Thanks for making some for your readers.; 10 February 2011 at 16:19
