It's my blogiversary!



COMMENTS CLOSED - WINNER ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!!


Exactly one year ago today I started this blog - I had been thinking about if for a while but was quite nervous about actually posting! My first post was for a mini quilt as part of the Bloggers quilt festival. I was also participating in my first flickr swap and a month long stitching event where I was in the progress of making a quilt which I gave to my father for his 70th birthday last year. Since then I have "met" so many lovely and inspiring fellow crafters from all over the world, been involved in quite a few more swaps and even written a couple of tutorials. I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to visit and see what I am up to,  and I love reading all of your comments !
So to celebrate, I am giving away a signed copy of the "Pieces Of Me" book which was written and photographed by a friend of mine here in Australia, Janelle Wind.  I first met Janelle through scrapbooking, and it was after seeing all of her beautiful stitching and sewing that I began quilting a few years ago.
There are so many wonderful projects in this book, and I have sewn a few of them already - including a patchwork Tote bag..............
as well as numerous ipod/iphone pouches.


I am more than happy to post internationally too, so please leave a comment below. The winner will be drawn randomly and contacted via email so if you think you may be a "no-reply" blogger then please leave an email address in your comment so that I can get in touch with you. I am doing a 12 km beach walk or charity on Sunday, so if I am still alive after that, I will draw a winner then. Good luck!

Happy 1st Bloggiversary....make sure you have some Epsom salts at hand for when you get home...soak your feet in a salt bath and whilst they won't be as good as new, they'll feel better than when you walked in the front door.

Hugs
