Back to School Giveaway!

This giveaway is now closed - Thanks for playing! 

Quilting Gallery is hosting another fabulous giveaway so get your hopping shoes on!



If you can hop in heels, you get extra points. As for me, I don't even own a pair of heels except for the heels on my boots. If I had to hop in heels...well, it would not be pretty. I can't even walk in them.

So I hope you've all cleared your calendar and precooked in order to make extra time because these giveaway parties always gather a big crowd. Lots of goodies to be had and new blogs to discover. The list of participating blogs can be found here.

I never know what to give away during these parties, but I want to give away something good...something I would want and I want some of these:


So I am giving away 1 package (50 clips) of these little red binding clips

And for a second giveaway I have 7 - 1/2 yd cuts of Amy Butler's Daisy Chain:

I bought these thinking I would use them in my Gypsy quilt, but I ended up not using them because the pretty design would get lost in the little pieces I needed to cut.

The first number I draw will have their choice between the two and the second number I draw will get the one the first winner does not choose. I will gladly ship internationally. So please be sure and let me know which is your preference in your comment.

I love replying to comments, but due to the number, I may not be able to do that, but thank you for taking the time to chime in!

No hoops to jump through. Save your energy for blog hopping. Just let me know what you are currently reading. I am a voracious reader and always love discovering new authors and titles.

This giveaway will close on September 3 at midnight EST and I will announce the winners on the morning of the 4th.

Thank you for taking the time to chime in on my giveaway, good luck and a big thanks to Quilting Gallery! If you hop over there using the link, there will be a list on Sunday with all the participants.

Karin - I was just reading your profile and realized we have a lot in common. I homeschool my children and my oldest are 21 and 19. The 21 year old is in the Air Force (in Kuwait at the moment) and my daughter just headed to college. I live in a ranching community in Wyoming, and grew up on a farm in Nebraska. Anyway, on to your question. I am currently in the middle of several books, mostly non-fiction. Right now I'm mostly reading to improve my early childhood skills (I run a home-based daycare too). So probably nothing anyone else would care to read. But here are the titles - Mind in the Making by Ellen Galinsky and Einstein Never Used Flash Cards by Roberta Michnick Golinkoff. (We're still homeschooling too, with your younger kids who are 8, 3, and 1).

Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance. I am not currently reading anything, but I finished Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks not too long ago. Good book!

Hi there fellow New Mexican! Love to see blogs from here. Well I don't have lots of time to read, but I am listening to a book on tape when I drive. It is called "What I Learned in Narnia." It is very insightful and sometimes convicting, but I am enjoying it. The fabrics are beautiful and I would love to win them, I have never seen those clips before though, and will now have to look into them and see how they work. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!

Hello Karin, I live in Greece but I grew up in New Mexico, my mother still lives there in Tres Piedras. I would love the Amy Butler fabric, I can see a few cute dresses for my daughter and maybe even a little something for my son. I don't get the chance to read anymore books are too expensive ($45 or more) today I tried to pick up a magazine and it was $10, sigh one of the penalties for living in Greece, plus there aren't any good fabric shops.

Joanne Lendaro said...

LOVE those little red clips!! I'm reading An American Tragedy by T. Dreiser-good book check it out. Thanks for the fun, new follower!

Dana Gaffney said...

I just finished The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Sedderfield which I found just this way, blogger's recommendations. Thanks, the fabric would be my first pick.
