** This Giveaway is now closed!**
4 years ago today I started blogging!!
I can't believe where the time has gone, and I have loved creating every post, making new friends, and being inspired by the hugely creative and generous community that is the Quilting blogland!
I've noticed a big change in the Quilting blogging community recently, especially since the arrival of Instagram!
Perhaps not so much chatter here as there used to be, but as my blog was originally created for my own pleasure and creative record, I will continue on with my sewing babblings!
And so, to say 'thank you' for popping by here, whether as a regular reader or as a 'once in a while-r', I'm giving away all these goodies!
8 Kona fat quarters and ...
an Ipad cover, Snowman pincushion kit & tape measure ribbon. These kits make the cutest pinny's!
To enter the giveaway, leave me a comment telling me what you would like to see more of on quilting blogs!
The giveaway is open to international readers, and I will choose the winner on Boxing Day (26/12).
Remember, if you are a 'no reply comment blogger' then please leave your email address in your comment, or you will not be entered for the giveaway. If you don't get a reply from me to your comment, then that means you are a 'no reply comment blogger' and I have no way of making contact with you.
Best of luck my quilty friends!
Jude xo
What a lovely giveaway! I love that tape measure ribbon.

congrats on the 4 years of blogging, I have been following for a while now and so enjoy seeing all you create and what your ex students have done. Like above your ideas are inspiring, happy christmas to you and the girls. Personally I do not like instagram, struggle to upload on it so just occassionally look to see what people are up to good that you are keeping your blog
ReplyDeleteI have noticed too that some blogs have disappeared since the arrival of Instagram. But I still prefer blogs to see what others have been making, with links to tutorials. I love to Pin things for later and on Instagram I find it's very much of the moment. I've been taking screen shots of IG but these seem to get lost. So please keep blogging I enjoy reading it.

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I've thoroughly enjoyed following you over the years. I'd love to see more of the same! I think what Indianna says is true so the fact that some keep on blogging is great, snapshots on IG are great but detail on blogs is better!

ReplyDeleteJackiethompson323(at)gmail.com
I really enjoy tutorials with great photos. I enjoy learning new techniques and love a good challenge! Anything with beautiful fabrics is eye candy to me!
ReplyDeleteI like reading about the thought process that goes on behind making a quilt. sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteHey Jude, Templates that I buy specifically for one pattern tend to just get used for that and never again.
ReplyDeleteLike the 9 degree ruler. Perhaps multiple patterns or projects from one odd template (Hexagon for example) Happy #4, looking forward to your tutorials in 2015. Thank you for the Kona solids! Wow I'm planning my first ALL solids optical illusion quilt but no solids in my stash:)
I like to see whatever projects you're working on, with lots of process posts & photos. Tutorials are also great though I know they're a lot of work for you. I also enjoy seeing photos of fabric purchases, stash & sewing areas. Merry Christmas & happy anniversary- keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI would love the chance to win this. xxramanxx@hotmail.ca
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, that's a lot of writing. I think the step by step of block making is helpful. Personally I am into borders or no borders and how they change the look of the quilt. There are so many styles and widths.
ReplyDeleteI like debates and industry analysis posts.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on four years. I love seeing what people have made on their blogs - it gives me lots of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 4 years blogging! I love your blog, it's always inspiring to see your work.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 4 years - that is quite a feat! I am a regular visitor to your blog, and shed a little tear when you announced you were giving up your classes (even thought I am no-where near you in NI!) Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteI love seeing tutorials about projects that bloggers make themselves. Happy 4th anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy blog birthday! I am always happy to see progress posts about what you are working on and posts of the things you have finished.

ReplyDeleteI just love small useful things so anymore of them is good!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a generous giveaway! I love all the inspiring ideas on blogs, but I'm especially partial to those that link to or include a tutorial, as I'm not skilled enough to re-create most things without some direction.
ReplyDeleteMore beginner's tips!
ReplyDeleteladykrazee@yahoo.com
I really like all that I see on quilting blogs, though I do enjoy the stories behind all the wonderful creations.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!! Gosh you share so much with us, I love the patterns, new techniques, applique and machine quilting tips would be great for me. Thanks for your giveaway!
ReplyDeletencjeepster@aol.com
I do enjoy reading blogs but have noticed that some bloggers have fallen by the wayside ( says a NON- BLOGGER) and others are posting less frequently - possibly due to the ease of Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for inspiration and do enjoy a good tutorial or pattern tweak.
Merry Christmas :-) and happy anniversary too! Like some of the other commentators, I love tutorials or tips! I don't really have any crafty friends, so never really get them 'in real life'. Blogs are great for that purpose!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year :-)
Happy Blogiversary! I love to see lots of tutorials, with patterns. Sometimes people think because something is easy for them to draw, everyone can do it. That is so not true. While I am very good with quilt math, I am very bad with shapes.
ReplyDeleteHave a merry Christmas!
OK, I will try again:
ReplyDelete4.4.4! FOUR!
I love tutorials.
