Another milestone!

Well....I have passed another milestone!

The 200 follower milestone!

Wow! I am so amazed! And I absolutely want to thank all of my followers! I really do appreciate you dropping by to visit! And even more so, when you leave a comment to say hello!

It is truly  amazing to have a community of "friends" to offer opinions, encouragement, ideas, inspiration and suggestions! I have learned so much, and value the welcoming world of blogland friendships!

So....to show my appreciation...I thought I would have a little give-away!  I bought myself one of these Hera Markers...and bought an extra one for one of my lucky followers.


So to enter...yes, you must be a follower...and leave me a comment telling me what your favourite quilting tool or gadget is. I haven't used this Hera marker much yet, so really cant comment on it, but have read good things about it.

Give away will close next Sunday, Sept 2..(one week), and I will announce the winner on Monday Sept 3 (which is actually a stat holiday here in Canada) !  Good luck!

  2. Here is a Whoop, Whoop, Congratulations on 200 Followers. FYI---I officially changed my blog name to American Vintage Quilts, blogger said it might be a couple more days until the URLs connect, will post when that becomes official. The name fits my style of quilting better but the blog will remain the same.

  4. Congrats on your large following. My favorite tool? The rotary cutter - when I started quilting I had to cut everything with scissors, now it's a breeze.

  12. I've really wanted one of those hera markers to try. I'm new to quilting so all the tools are rather new to me. My newly discovered favourites as of this week while I've been trimming hst's has been my rotating cutting mat and a ruler with several grid lines embedded in it that makes it easy to trim two sides at once ... accurately. You just run your rotary cutter through the slots. So much easier than using the small square ruler that I started with before remembering I'd picked up the hst tool thingie once upon a time and had never used it.

    And yes, I'm a follower.
