Entering is simple...1. Leave me a comment starting January 1, 2009. Comments made before then will be deleted, so no early birds please, lol
2. VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure you leave your email in your comment so I can contact you if you win!
I will be accepting comments until MIDNIGHT on January 14. On January 15, 2009, a winner will be chosen by the time honored method of having my son or grandson pick a name from a bucket. Neither of them can read well yet so it will be very fair :-)Everyone who leaves a comment is eligible to win, but you will only have one chance, no matter how many comments you leave, so to make my job easier, please only leave ONE!
To make this a little more fun, let's have themed comments....hmmm, in your comment answer this question. What is the ONE thing you have always wanted to try but haven't yet, and do you think you might attempt it in 2009?I will even start it off. I have always wanted to make a Baltimore Album quilt by hand. I am cheating a bit here because I actually started a couple of blocks of this project last fall, but I want to really get working on it in 2009.
Now, are you ready for even more good news?There are many other bloggers (60 or so!!) participating in this winter giveaway!
and the winner is...
BETH of Willow Lake Stitches!!
congratulations Beth and thanks to all who played!

Happy New Year Cathy, is is now 2009 in Aus.A challenge for me would be to make a quilt with curves, maybe a double wedding ring quilt.Regards Lyn
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Something new--hmm! So many things I could choose, but I really would like to try free-motion quilting. I love the look of stippling and feathers.
ReplyDeleteoops forgot to leave my email :0( myzbarb@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI've seen the arched "Window Quilt" quilt patterns that use panels and this would be cool I think :)
ReplyDeleteI've dreamed of making an old fashioned hand stitched Scrappy traditional Cathedral Window. But until I get a few UFO's out of the way, big project start ups need to stand in line until I prove I can be a better "finisher". Off to a good start...Y2K (1999) top finished a couple weeks ago ;)
-email on file with my blog.
Happy Quilty 2009! I am absolutely determined to try free-motion quilting this year! I have a machine that will do it, just need to put my fear aside and just do it! And then hopefully I will wonder why I didn't do it before!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the giveaway!
Hello from Tasmania. I really want to learn to crochet this year and I would also like ti make a blue and white sampler.

I have always wanted to try surfing and to ride in a motorcycle sidecar. Not sure if that will happen, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Mine starts on Friday so please stop by.
I hope that the new year holds many wonderful possibilities for you.
I have always wnted to try longarm quilting. I know there are some shops where you can rent time on a machine and they show you the basics. I hope to try this year.

Happy New Year! This year I want to really practice and get better in machine quilting. Its lots of practice, practice, practice but hopefully I will master it. NanaBarto@aol.com
ReplyDeleteWe just V-Matched our living room this year and the squares would make a great start to a beautiful wall hanging for above the couch. We actually have that kind of a scene out our living room window. Last year we enjoyed watching a herd of deer in our back yard and our pet rabbits that run free in the yard didn't seem to bother them much. It was a pretty site to see the deer,rabbits,birds and even a red squirrel all at the same time out the window.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to take a treasure expedition from East Coast Me to the West Coast CA hitting as many states as possible on the trip down and back doing diamond and gem mining and digging , metal detecting, Antique bottle digging and even some geocashing for fun. I don't know if it will happen in 2009 but I can dream it will lol
I've always wanted to complete the quilt that my grandmother started.
ReplyDeletersgrandinetti@yahoo.com
Happy new year to you and yours. Please enter my name in your giveaway. What I have wanted to do and haven't done is to make a full size quilt and actually do the free motion quilting myself. Do you really think that is possible? I'm going to try in 2009. thanks. jill

Those panels are so pretty. I love to attempt a cathedral window quilt but I won't attempt it this year.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I want to try is a memory quilt with photo tranfers. Great prizes and thanks for joining us.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to do more machine quilting, free motion, etc. I also want to do more applique.
Thanks! nici826 at yahoo dot com
I want to ride in a hot air balloon.
ReplyDeleteI love the snow scene. I made pillows for my sons with this print. It would be nice for my grandson.
One thing I've always wanted to try, but haven't, is the backbasting method of hand applique. I don't know if I'll try it in 2009 or not -- it depends on how many other things come along to distract me. But I WILL try it out at some point! Lydia (thepoch [at] aol [dot] com)
ReplyDeleteI'm determined to learn to knit socks. Don't ask me why - I think it's one of those "if all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you be right there with them?" kinda things. But, since my knee is still not fixed, and will have some non-sewing recovery time, I bought the DPN's... and printed out a tutorial, and I've got a whole 3/4" of ribbing done.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year!
I want to learn to uilt this year!! I came across these blogs and the whirl into winter giveaway by accident. It must be a sign!!
ReplyDeleteI want to learn to knit well enough to make a nice scarf AND maybe even a pair of socks. I can crochet but really like the look of knitting better. I like your giveaway and would like to enter it. I hope you visited my blog and entered my giveaway, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to inspire new quilting projects for the new year. Thanks so much!

I wanna make a quilt completely by hand. From piecing it to quilting it, to adding applique, everything. So that's something I'm looking forward to working on in 2009.

I want to try to finish the quilt we inherited from my husband's late grandmother. She cut all of the pieces and completed one square (so I know the pattern it is supposed to be). I have only done very simple quilts so far so I have been scared to start this project!

This is totally not quilt related, but I have always wanted to try kick boxing...I just might do that this year. On a quilty note, I am with you on the BA quilt. I have one block almost done...a cornucopia of fruit. It has been a challenge to say the least!
ReplyDeleteI have never (not even when I was little) been able to do a cartwheel. It has been on my list of to-dos for years but maybe this year I will gain the courage and get someone at the gym to teach me!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Cathy!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful giveaway!

ReplyDeleteHi and thank you for your generosity they are lovely panels. The thing that I am thinking I need to try soon and yes this year may be it - is finishing what I start, instead of starting something new but not finishing. Tracey
