Blog Hop Party and Giveaway

Blog Hop Party
*** This giveaway is now closed***

I decided at the last minute to participate in the St. Patricks Day Blog Hop Party.  Thank you to Quilting Gallery for sponsoring this again!  I had so much fun last time, and found some great blogs through it.  The list of participating blogs will be posted after midnight EDT.  Click on the party button to go there!



So what am I giving away? 

1. A Summer Breeze II charm pack.  
It has been opened, but all prints are there.  


2. This set of fat eighths from the Pure line by Sweetwater.  


3.  I am also giving away 1/4 yard of this narrow fabric 
I found in a thrift store along with each of the above.  It is voile weight, and so adorable.
  
(If you can identify this in any way, please let me know!)

One prize will go to visitors from the U.S. or Canada, and one will go to my  International visitors.   I have won a giveaway from Croatia and one from Australia, so want to make sure I have an 
International winner this time!

So what do you have to do to win?  Simply leave a comment and tell me how long you have been quilting and where you live (country, or in the case of U.S. and Canada, State or Province).  My Answer:  I live in Minnesota and I have been quilting (seriously) since last fall.  If you don't answer these 2 questions, you will be disqualified - I want to make sure you took the time to really look at the post.  :)  Once I have my 2 winners, I will ask them which prize they prefer - hopefully they will have different choices.

Giveaway ends March 24.  I will put the names in 2 different buckets and have each kid draw a name.  I normally respond to all comments, but the number of entries makes that almost impossible.  I hope you understand!

You do not have to become a follower, but I would love it if you looked around and decided to follow if you like what you see.   If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave your email address in your comment, or fix your settings.


***********UPDATE************
I have a bunch of people who have left comments that do not have an email address associated with their blogger account that I can access, and when I click on their name, I don't see a blog I can go to either to try to contact you.  I will have to take them out of the drawing because I have no way to reach them!  If you would like to fix this, the best post I have seen on this topic is from SewCalGal:
 Wanted - Quilters That Never Win a Giveaway
Most of us usually respond to all comments (except in a case like this where we are overwhelmed!) so if you have left a lot of comments and never had a response, this may be why.
So please, check your settings!

Blessed Sewing, Karen

    Hi Karen!

    First of all, thanks for commenting on my St. Urho's Day post! Funny stuff out there on the interlinks, uh? I have been quilting on and off for awhile. I made a sampler quilt and hand quilted it in 1982, then our 7 kids became teens and I went to work full time so had no time! I am now retired and I can do a lot more. I live in Minnesota, not too far south of you! And I love the Pure line from Sweetwater!

    Blessings!
    Marge

    I made my first real quilt about 20 years ago-- it was a hand pieced and hand quilted wall hanging.. then I started really getting hooked about 3 years ago, when I made my first stack & whack quilt.. I had no pattern, no rotary cutter or mat, but did find a tutorial online, and using those directions, I stacked, whacked, and sewed, and it turned out beautifully! (if I do say so myself ;-) I live in a small rural community in south Alabama--- about 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you so much for the chance to win one of your wonderful prizes!! :-)

I only quilt for myself and enjoy my time I spend on my lap quilts and sometimes queen-sized quilts. We have had snow and I am spending my time keeping warm and entering most of the giveways on the Blog Shop Hop. I just want to extend my thanks to you for your participation in the Party and I am sure all of your winners will enjoy their giveways. Your Summer Breeze 11 Charm Pack will certainly make a nice quilt; Set of fat 8ths from the Pure line would make a childs' quilt and the 1/4 yard of narrow fabric is so darn cute.

    I live in North Carolina. I have been quilting seriously for about 10 years, although I sewed my first blocks about 30 years ago. One day I will sew them into a quilt!

    I live in Idaho and I have been a "real" quilter for about nine years. I have sewn for about 55 years.

    I live in Ontario, Canada. We immigrated from The Netherlands when I was almost 16. I have been sewing since probably the age of 10 or so, but have been making quilts maybe the last 10 years. Have a lot of quilt tops done, but not the finished result. Am leary of trying machine quilting, and to handquilt all I have ready will take much to long! But one of these days i will seriously attempt machine quilting again. Thanks for the giveaway.
