In honor of my Blogiversary I'm going to have a 5 DAY GIVEAWAY!
Make sure to check in every day, because the prizes will be fun.
One year ago my friend Judi directed me towards Nanette of Freda's Hive. My life changed at that point. I had no idea there were "Quilt Blogs" out there. I found my niche and knew I wanted to play too.
This is post #307. I've had over 38,000 visits that have included 61,000+ page reviews.
You have come from all over the world. In the last 24 hours I've had visitors from France, United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium, Germany, New Zealand, So. Africa, Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Israel, Estonia and of course the United States.
I've been stunned by your response. There are just no other words for it.
Thank you for all your kind comments.
I have made such wonderful friends, and you have enriched my life!
On DAY ONE, and in honor of Nanette, I will be Giving Away one of Nanette's Mixed Bags.
This bag is made with vintage fabrics directly from Nanette's collection.
HERE ARE THE RULES:
- 1.) 1 point for each day you leave a comment. Be sure to visit all 5 days!
- 2.) 1 point if Cactus Needle is on your side bar/or feed.
- 3.) 1 point if you blog about this Give Away.
*make sure I have a way to contact you by e-mail. I will be really sad if your name comes up, and I have to give your prize to someone else because I don't have a way to reach you.
The closing date will be Friday July 3rd at Midnight. The lucky 5 winners will be announced on Saturday July 4th!

Happy Blogiversary, Nedra! I can't believe you've only been at this a year. You seemed like "an old pro" when I started in October. :)
That bag is AMAZING! Fingers crossed. :)
Congratulations, Nedra! I always look forward to reading your blog and can't wait to see what fun things you come up with in the NEXT year. Keep up the good work!

Nedra...Happy Blogversary! I have only been blogging for about 3 months and it is just amazing. The giveaway looks so fun. Of course, I will blog about your giveaway and I already follow you. I'm not sure how to put you on my sidebar but if someone clicks on my profile they can see the blogs I follow. Have an awesome day (and week)!
Love your blog. Seems like it's been longer than a year. I re-read old posts all the time. Happy Blogiversary.

What a sweet giveaway. I'll have to tell people to stop on over. How sweet. Happy Anniversary. Just think we wouldn't know each other if you hadn't started your blog!
Of course I follow your blog! Congrats on your blogiversary!!! Darling bag and cute, cute, cute covered button!
I'm so glad you had a nice trip with your family, and you did survive the heat. Thanks for giving me a call this morning...you are the best. Adorable bag and even though I have second thoughts about even trying because I never win anything, I would love to be in the runnings. Cute idea by the way and a fun way to get people connected.
I totally feel like you ... the quilt blogs have given me so much inspiration. I'm so happy to have found yours! Congrats! I never miss a post because you are on my Reader!

Congratulations on your blogiversary!! Super cute bag!! Oh, and I heart your blog!!
I'm home from Cabo and had to immediately check in on you thru your blog! I love your giveaway and I'm so happy you're blogging! It's the perfect way for me to feel like I'm in your sewing room without actually living at your house! Although, I'm always happy when I'm staying at your house too.
Hugs and congratulations on a wonderful first year of blogging!
Happy Blogiversary!!! What a gorgeous Nanette bag too. Isn't she just the sweetest? Have a wonderful week! x
