Welcome to everyone visiting for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop Party. A big hug to Michele of the
The Quilting Gallery for organizing this event. It's so nice to meet new friends from all over the world via blog land. That's why I am thrilled to participate in this Hop to meet new readers, see what you're up to and offer a give-away as a Thank You.
If you're new here, let me introduce myself. I'm Angie in SoCal, USA. I love to quilt, sew, garden, and keep up with family and friends. I'm very grateful for each day God blesses us with and pray for all of you daily. He is the center of my life.
I've found posting helps to keep me on task and moving forward with my quilting - that way I have something to post, LOL. I have learned so much from other quilters on the NET. It's like an open class available all the time. To keep me focused, I host two linky parties each week. One is called Applique Tuesday - I love applique, but I am such a newbie - I hesitate, so I have to do something to report on Tuesday. LOL - same with hexies - on Hexie Fridays, I report what I have done on that project too. Otherwise, I'd spend all my time making baby charity quilts for our church. It's so much fun to see the eye candy other quilters share.
For my Giving Thanks give-away, I have two items - so you'll have a choice of which one you'd like to see in your mailbox. First is a pattern pack of a gorgeous quilt by Karen Kay Buckley:
This makes a gorgeous, sophisticated quilt with circle blocks. It has full sized patterns. Karen includes lots of great tips for both hand and machine applique and how to make perfect circles and stems. What I like best is you can use elements of her design to create your own, so you don't have to do circles if you don't want to.
Or maybe you'd like a quilting book:
I think the cover says it all! To enter this giveaway all you need to do is leave a comment telling me where you are from and which book you'd like to win and why. If you'd like to win either book, leave two comments - one for each book. Then if you'd like another chance to win become a follower and let me know that also with another comment. I'll throw in a pattern, too, for the lucky winner. Please be sure you are not a no-reply blogger because I need your email to let you know if you won. Closes Midnight November 26th. And yes, since I have readers all over, I will ship internationally. Good Luck! And don't forget to go to
Michele's blog to see all the other bloggers participating and their giveaways! The list of bloggers participating in the Blog Hop Party will be made available
Thursday late afternoon on November 21st, 2013 (Eastern time).
Look forward to meeting you!
