Giveaway Day!

Wow, I was almost too late to get into this party.  Just this morning I learned about the Giveaway Day over at Sew Mama Sew.  How did I miss this?  What an exciting event.  New blogs to read AND lots of excellent giveaway goodies!

I have noticed a lot of people using this time to introduce themselves to new readers and I have decided to follow that theme.

I have been quilting for a few years now and I am a self taught quilter.  I am still learning every day and loving each new experience that quilting brings to me. I am mother to a teenage son that is very supportive of my quilting habits and he gives me that second opinion when I am struggling with fabric choices.  I work full time in an office and my time at my machine is limited to the occasional night or weekend.  But I sure do enjoy that time.  Give me Netflix and a full spool of thread and I am one happy camper.  You can check out more of My Story here.

This has been such an exciting year for me.  I started this blog and have made so many wonderful friends.  This has been an experience like no other.  I participated in my first Blog Hop with the 2016 New Quilt Bloggers group.  I wrote my first tutorial for the Cloud 9 Blog Hop with that group.  I am in the middle of my first mystery quilt and have done a quilt-a-long for the first time as well.

I have recently started getting more involved with Instagram too.  @adreamandastitch

Another first for me this year was completing my very first quilt pattern.  And that is what I have decided to give away.  "Knots" of Color is a simple quilt that packs a big punch.  It comes in 5 sizes from Table Runner to Queen.  You can find the pattern HERE on Craftsy. If you decide to purchase the pattern and you are chosen as the winner, your money will be refunded or you can have a credit towards a future pattern from me.

The winner will receive a PDF copy of my pattern "Knots" of Color via email.  This is open to international entries (because, well, no postage with email :) )  A random entry will be chosen from the comments below.  Any comment counts, but if you need a prompt, let me know what your favorite quilting tool is.  Or one that you have been meaning to try.  Want a second entry?  Let me know (in a separate comment) how you follow me (Bloglovin, Instagram, etc)  The giveaway is open until 5pm PST on December 11, 2016.  Make sure you include your email in your post if you are a no-reply blogger so I have a way to contact you.  Good Luck!
