Giveaway Day!
Hi! I had so much fun exploring people's blogs last time and even won some fabric, so I decided I had to give something back this time around. I made this mini for the Modern Mini Challenge back in February. It's 23" x 23" with the Album Four-Patch in the center. Tutorial for this block is here.
I love it, but I don't have anywhere to put it in my house - it doesn't go with anything I own, so for the giveaway - there are no hoops or requirements - I just want it to go to someone who would actually want it. That's it. It's open internationally as well - it's only fair that everyone should have a chance. :)
Just to make life a little more interesting answer the following: What is your favorite place you've ever traveled to and why? The winner will be randomly selected from the comments this weekend.
Update: Winner is #28:
Thanks- and hope you enjoyed Giveaway Day!

ReplyDeleteMy Favorite place was Tybee Island, GA. The little cottage we stayed in had so much charm and a screened in porch the size of the cottage which we practically lived in the entire stay. Best of all was a little lap pool which was heaven at night and very private...did a little "skinny dippin'" while my hubby and son went out for ice cream one night! ;)

That's a hard choice--a favorite place! I love the beauty of Niagara Falls. There are too many choices to pick from!
ReplyDeleteI think your mini would make a nice stroller quilt. The most interesting? It is difficult to decide, as interesting is relative. Paris is wonderful to look at, Southern Chile is nature untamed.
