McCall's Quilting - Loot !

One of the special things that my sister does is that every year she gifts me with a wonderful subscription to McCall's Quilting. Actually she does a lot of special things; because she is a very special person. And I am not at all prejudiced. This is the truth, and you can take it to the bank. (Grin)
She is also an awesome quilter, and you can see some of her gorgeous quilt blocks on her blog, and over at OleFrogEyes, too.
Anyway, I really enjoy the magazine, and I was floored by a recent email that said I had won this prize package:

Lots of loot! I mean, I feel like I should be saying "Aargghh" and "Shiver me timbers" and things like that --- there's a lot of booty here, and I feel like a pirate!

In addition to the lovely queen-size batting, there are two cool tools: a circle rotary cutter, and a thread picker, too! And you know how I love cool tools!

There are lots of pieces and rolls and charm packs of fabric here --- I'm very intrigued by the Katagami  fabric, and there are pieces of Scribble, and What's Cookin, and oh, can you tell I'm pretty excited about this?

Y'all will have to excuse me . . . I am busy playing with my loot, and I'll talk to you some more another time. Aarrrggghhhh! (Wink)

Oh, and I'm linking up today with Katherine's Corner and Alderberry Hill, for the Thursday Favorite Things blog hop! I'm just a teensy bit late to the party! LOL

Love,

Here's How it (the Giveaway) Will Work......

We're counting down the days until the Stash Manicure "Wantobee A Quilter" Campaign kicks off! This is really exciting, for newbies and rookies and wantobees and even seasoned veterans!!

Whoa, there, pardner!!!!

Back up a minute! Seasoned veterans?

Yes, this campaign is for us, too! Let me explain.....grab your cuppa joe:

Have a slice of strawberry tart?

and let's set a spell......

Now, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday are days for new quilters to win prizes, so you newbies and wantobees will leave a comment at Stash Manicure and say you are registered with Lilypadquilting. That will make you eligible for some fantastic prizes!

We who are already members of the quilting community can participate too - on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it is our turn! You "old hands" are eligible for prizes on those days....but again,

You need to be registered with a participating blog!!! (That's me!)

Now, I have had some peeps who have signed up already, as wantobees - that's cool! No need for them to do anything more. And don't worry, I have this all in hand...I will be able to keep the rookies and the experienced quilters straight! LOL

Any of you that are already

old hands

seasoned

weathered and wise

experienced

quilting veterans

(you get the picture, right?)

You will need to sign up, too. All of my peeps are eligible for prizes at Stash! You just have to play by the rules, and here they are:

1. Register here.

2. Follow Stash, and comment on Stash posts, beginning August 1.

3. Wantobees - your days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

4. Veterans - your days are Tuesday and Thursday.

5. When you comment, remember to say you are registered with this blog, and you will be eligible for the prize for that day!

Easy peasy! You'll want to visit Stash EVERY day, whether it is "your" day or not, because Madame Samm has some super-duper guests lined up to be posting there..... I've heard tell that a lady named Eleanor will be there, and another one named Alex, and this guy named Ty is reported to be helping out, too!!

Sew......scroll down to the bottom of this post, and fill out the survey form for me. I will not allow that information to go anywhere except to Madame Samm, so that she will have a list of who is registered here at Lilypadquilting. Then if your comment is chosen a winner one day, you will get an awesome prize! ('Course, if one of my peeps wins, I win, too!) Yippee! You can click here to see the posts at Stash that tell you about some of the wonderful prizes.
