Almost to 10,000 - give-away!!!

We hit 9,901 visitors this morning. I changed the counter after several blogging friends gave me advice - on how to count unique visits - and how to get stats from the counter. I guess the one I had on there was old and the stats weren't coming through any more. I've enjoyed every single visitor that has been to my blog.

So yesterday I got some great things to give away - some for the 10,000th visitor - and some for a random drawing.

Away we go - - - - -

If you leave a comment you will be included in the drawing - and even some of those who commented on past blog entries will be entered. I love comments and appreciate so much those who comment on the regular posts I do. If you list my give-away on your blog - I'll give you 2 more chances - and if someone mentions your blog as the way they found my give-away - three more entries. I'll have to be organized in my list of entries - but you know me - I love lists.


For starters - I have some preprinted quilt blocks - just the thing for a quick project - wallhanging, table topper, pillow - whatever you can think of for them. You could add some other blocks - or borders and make them bigger - all kinds of ideas come to mind when I see these pretty blocks. There are two blocks with a Victorian Doll, four Log Cabin blocks and one flower wreath block.

Also

Three block - 12" squares. . .

All the pre-printed blocks will be one prize - the dolls, the log cabin, the flower wreath and the three blue blocks.

A second drawing for a give-away - these house blocks I made. I found the pattern at Freda's Hive and just couldn't resist making them. Warning - if you go to Freda's Hive blog you may never get out. She has the cutest ideas and the best projects - and she gets so much done - you will want to wander around in that blog for a week. So please come back if you can - but be sure and enjoy her blog.


I made so many of these blocks - made some into potholders for friends - and kept some for myself (don't you just love that snazzy red binding?) These are NOT give-aways - just ideas of what you can do with the little house blocks.


I still have two stacks of blocks to give away - some the small size and some the larger size. I did the first batch according to the measurements given on Freda's Hive, then decided to make some smaller ones for the potholders I wanted to make. I really liked the smaller size. With the great instructions at Freda's Hive I was able to just cut down the measurements she gave and have the smaller blocks. There all sorts of things you could make with these blocks - more potholders - trim on aprons - quilts - tabletoppers - candle mats - oh so many ideas!!! Don't you really want them???? I knew you did. So I will draw two names for the house blocks.

We aer up to four give-aways now - the 10,000th visitor - the pre-printed blocks and two draws for the house blocks - are we having fun yet????

Ok - one more drawing and that is it . . .

I think . . .

This cute panel for a baby quilt or wallhanging. Noah's Ark is always popular and the colors are delightful. Use it like it is or cut it apart and add more fabric or blocks to make it bigger. Such Fun!!!

Just to make this more fun - I am not telling which gifts will be for the 10,000th visitor and which will be for the drawings - just to keep a little suspense.

So leave a comment - stop back and see if you are visitor 10,000 (you will have to tell me - even with the new counter I don't have that capability - so number 10,000 speak up!!!!).

Extra chances to win . . .

Post my give-away on your blog and get two more chances - and tell your friends to mention your blog for three MORE extra entries. I expect a lot of fun - and a lot of list making - and some happy recipients. I love give-aways.

Not sure of the day of the drawings - but soon - I'll let you know!!! After the 10,000th visitor I will set a deadline for the other drawings - so get your comments in - post this to your blog and get your friends to come over and visit. I expect a big party. Belinda is already dancing and singing to get us started and Pam is purple with excitement!!! I love purple!!
