200 Posts and a Giveaway (or two)

This is my 200th post. I don't know why that's a milestone, but it might as well be. So in celebration (and we must celebrate at any given opportunity, real or imagined) I'm giving stuff away! Yay, presents! I couldn't pick just one thing, so I picked two.


#1 is a dolly like this one here-
This exact dolly has gone to live in Australia, so I'll make the winner one that looks a lot like her. I'll let the winner choose her eye color.

#2 is a set of Cheater Quilt patterns-
The winner may choose any five patterns from our Etsy shop.
. . .
How to enter:
1) Leave a comment here and I'll throw your name in the hat. 2) If you're a follower, or become one, I'll throw your name in the hat again. 3) Mention this giveaway on your blog and I'll throw your name in the hat a third time.
Please indicate in your comment
if you want to win the dolly or the patterns.
. . .
Winners will be announced on October first.
Good luck!

All done now.

  1. Jo,
    You know what a huge fan I am! I look at the gallery often to see the pieces that got away. I am fortunate to own many that I love ! I even decorate my boring cube at work - my coworkers love seeing what I have from you. If I win the doll I will treasure her always :-) Your fan, Vicki

  45. I've been a peeping Tom for some time but your giveaway has enticed me out of the cybershadows in hopes of winning your wonderful quilt patterns. My finger has hovered over the Buy it Now button on Ebay many times on these pattern auctions! I'm a true follower and have been for years now. I just started a blog a couple of days ago and don't have a clue how to do a thing with it so can't put you on there yet. Looks like I have plenty of competition for this give away but I have to try!
