A Blogaversary Giveaway

This Giveaway is Now Closed!
------------------------------------------


So, one year ago I started blogging.  It was a big step for me, because believe it or not, I'm quite shy.  If we met in person I'd likely be so tongue-tied I could barely say hello to you.  I didn't have anyone in my real life who quilts, and I was longing for some friends who share my love of quilting and fabric.  So, what's a quilter to do?  Start a blog of course! The very best part of blogging is all the lovely people you meet!


So, dear blogging friends, it is time for a giveaway!  This is a pretty special giveaway!  There's a few hoops to jump though, but it will be worth it!  I promise.  What's the prize??  Hang on a second, and I'll tell you!


First, I'd like to introduce you to Linda Winters.  Linda lives in Texas and she is a very talent pattern designer.  I first saw her quilts on display in Seventh Heaven Quilt Shop in San Antonio last year. That quilt store has dozens of quilts on the walls, but the only quilts I remember are the quilts Linda designed!  (Even my husband still remembers them!)  Linda's unique designs are a charming blend of piecing, applique and embroidery. Her applique technique is simple and these quilts are very do-able!

Here's Linda at Seventh Heaven Quilt Shop surrounded by her darling quilts.  

Linda has a great blog, Buzzing and Bumbling--you should pay her a visit!  She discusses her designs and her process there, and has some great tutorials there, including tea dying, her favorite applique method, a great little pocket pouch, and cupcake pincushion.  


So, why am I telling you all this?  Because Linda has generously donated not one, not two, but FIVE of her patterns as prizes for my readers!  How is that for an amazing giveaway??  Five lucky readers will win a pattern!


Ready to see them??  

This one is my hands down favorite, the Eensy-Weensy Spider!
