Happy "Blogiversary" to me!!!

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I started blogging. I first started seeing quilt blogs when I was thinking about starting a Dear Jane quilt. I was researching and looking at all of the wonderful finished Janes that are out there. So I thought and thought about what I should give for my giveaway today and here it is. The Dear Jane book and the bundle of Dear Jane fat quarters by Windham.



Here's another picture of the fat quarter bundle

 


These pictures aren't the best and the fabric is really much brighter than it looks in the picture.

Okay all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and you'll be entered in the drawing to be held on Friday March 13th. I'll draw first thing in the morning, so be sure to enter and to tell your friends about it! Oh and this is open to international bloggers/quilters as well.

Seems like I did get a lot done this weekend, but most of it was prep work for applique. Oh and finishing the quilt top shown in the previous post...lol Are all of you quilters out there like me in that we have so much to do, but so much more we want to do? I keep seeing new quilts that just call to me. Oh to be able to sew full time.... :o)

I have considered making a Dear Jane quilt for some time now but so far have not taken the plunge. I would certainly feel obligated to start one if I had the book and Dear Jane fabric! Love your quilts!

Happy Blogaversary. That is a wonderful prize. A new Dj book, I could use that as mine is very well used. Has permament coffee stains. The fabrics are a great gift. Another jane. wow.

Is this your "extra" book? You aren't giving away your book are you???? I have always wanted to start a DJ quilt, but, other projects always step ahead of this one, since I don't have the book. I have checked it out of our Guild Library. It would be an awesome quilt to see in person.

Happy blog anny! I started a DJ ages ago but lost my way after about 10 blocks or so. I love these fabrics though and if I don't win the draw I'll have to google for them and get them! You know just how badly I need another project in my life, lol!!!

I got my first block for another BOM this morning...I'm hoping I don't see anymore I like as I'll never finish anything at this rate!

Super giveaway Ranette. Thanks for the opportunity to partake.

Not only did we buy the same pattern around the same time, we share the opinion of "so much to do and so much more that we want to do".

Congrats and keep up the good work. To be honest: I'm not into a Dear Jane, but I AM fond of fabrics :) The question is wether that includes me in the drawing or not? *lol*

Great giveaway! I have 9 blocks finished on my DJ journey (I still have to count how many pieces before I get too far along). Your blog is inspiring!
