Quilter’s Blog Hop Party with Give-Aways!!!

Hello & Welcome!  :)

Today's the day! Please help me celebrate Quilting Gallery's 4th Birthday Celebration!


The official blog hop starts Saturday morning, shortly after midnight, eastern time. There are more than 200 bloggers registered from 20 countries . . . with each having their own give-away! Awesome! It's going to be so much FUN!!!  :)  Go to the official Blog Hop Party page to check out the list of all the bloggers participating after midnight tonight!

I am so happy to be participating in this Blog Hop Party Give-Away and the Giveaway Day 2011!


What's the Giveaway Day 2011? It's a day where many bloggers will be posting pictures of the items they're giving away with a link to the giveaway post! How awesome is that?!!! The link to this Giveaway Day 2011 will not be active until Monday, December 12. Be sure to go there then to check out all the giveaways! I'm very thankful to be participating in both of these giveaway hops! I want to take a minute to thank both the hosts! I couldn't help but participate in both of them! I also want to Thank You so much for visiting me!  :)

I couldn't decide what I wanted to give away. Should I offer some fabric or a completed piece? Hmmmmm . . .  I'm sure a lot of people will be offering fabric so I decided to offer one of my favorite pieces I completed this year . . .


Would you like to win this Snowman Mini Quilt? It's warm and comforting to help you get through all those cold winter nights.  :)  Since it's a snowman you can keep it up through January, here in the states anyway. Here's a view of the backing fabric . . .


And a close-up of the stitchery . . .


This mini quilt is approximately 17" x 17". The center redwork is loving hand-stitched. It's machine quilted and the binding's sewn on by hand. I hope you would like to add this to your holiday collection.  :)

There are two chances to win!

First chance . . . Leave me a comment telling me if you're a follower, old or new!  :)
Second chance . . . Leave me a separate comment telling me your favorite way to celebrate the Christmas holiday.  :)

The give-away is open internationally. It will remain open until midnight, eastern time, Saturday, December 17th. I will choose a winner on Sunday, December 18th with help of the random number generator, and will email the winner and post it on my blog. If you are a no-reply blogger please post your email in your comment or you will be disqualified.

Good luck!  :)  Best wishes to you and yours this holiday season! Keep warm and keep safe! Thank you so much for visiting me and sharing in all my adventures!

Happy Holidays!  :)


Until next time . . .

I love celebrating Christmas with my whole family there. Even if it gets a little tight with us all in one house, it's the best hanging out with my sisters, nieces, nephews, BIL's and parents (with of course my husband and kids). We have a great time together!

I love Christmas, I love to see all my Santas standing all over the room and the lights shining out when it's dark. My favourite part is watching my grandson open his presents. I'm going to miss him doing that this year as they have just moved into their own place.

My favourite traditional Christmas is to open stockings, then breakfast, then main presents, Christmas dinner, then the Queen's speech, quick walk round the block for some fresh air and exercise, back for tea, tele and if anyone is still hungry cold chicken and pickles.

I love snowmen..inside the house, that is. Your little snowman is adorable. Thank you for this snowy giveaway. My favorite way to celebrate Christmas is to curl up, watch sappy Christmas movies and eat anything I want, preferably served to me. Ya right, like that's going to happen. Merry Christmas from Minnesota.
