JuSt FoR fUn PrIzE gIvE AwAy

So, I thought because I missed giving out prizes previously at my 100th post and 200 post (and same goes for the 300th post), I am going to do a drawing for this quilt that I just did the tutorial on. You have to post a comment on this topic. The drawing will be held on July 4th in celebration of the birth of the United States of America. You do not have to be a US citizen to play this game. If there are over 368 comments then I will add more prizes. Let's see how many posts we can get. All items will be something made by me, Sunshine. If more items are added, I will post their pictures. The idea is to have multiple winners to make up for the other times when I didn't do a give away. Please leave some way for me to contact you because blogger doesn't make it easy to contact people who leave comments (such as a flickr address or blog address). Only one comment per person, please. So tell your friends; more people equals more prizes.

My blogiversary is on July 5th, so winners will be announced on that day, and I might do an added surprise on that day as well.

I decided to change this; I will add a new prize every 100 comments. I will do something different at comment number 368. If you are wondering why that number, that is this post number.

Prize #1
front
Prize #2 ?

I just wanted to thank you for the tutorial. They look like so much fun :-)

I'm primarily a knitter and even though I love quilts I've never made one before. If I have any fabric left over after finishing my yo yo coverlet I'm going to make myself one of these.

Timbrely said...

Well sheesh, like I don't have enough WIPs, now I feel compelled to go make one of these... or a few... maybe I'll stay small and make placemats to pretty-up the lounge at work.... must go to the fabric store now and choose a theme... I'm thinking something funky and weird, yes?

This is soo dang cute! Oooh, can I go with something other than a square in the centers? (going to grab a pencil and scratch paper)

Awesome stuff as always on your blog!

Cheers,
Timbrely

Beautiful eye candy!! I enjoy tatting ...mostly hearts and crosses and butterflies, crocheting bags, shawls, and baby blankets and making quilts with my sister and sister-in-law. I give most of my hankwork away as wedding gifts, baby gifts, and birthday presents. If a winner, I will surround this lovely treasure with tatted pieces....and keep it..

You are one talebted lady Sunshine.
I just got an opportunity to sit down and look at your blog. I can't believe all of things you do. I don't know how you find the time to take care of a family and do all this too. What a gift!
How nice of you to offer to give things away. If it's not to late I would like to have my name put in the drawing.
Thanks,
Denise

Your tutorial brings back such memories as about thirty years ago I tried the real cathedral windows and your blog is the first time in many years that I've read or seen information on it. Your tute seems a lot easier. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for bringing back such wonderful memories. My Great Grandmother Wilder used to make yoyo quilts and I hadn't thought of her in years. Quilts to me mean family, tradition, and oh so much love!
