10th Blog Anniversary & Giveaway!

10 Years ago I started blogging, thanks to Michelle at Life with LouHere is the first quilt I ever posted.  Since then I've posted 612 times.  I think we should celebrate with a Giveaway!  

Fabric bundle from Quilting Treasures

March A-Door-naments kit from Shabby Fabrics

Ok, so  here are the rules:  

First, you have to be in the USA (mailing internationally during the pandemic is difficult at best).

Second, you need to be a follower of my blog.  Just let me know how you follow my blog.

Third, you MUST include your email address. Any no-reply commentors will not qualify (and no, I won't be chasing you down to find your email address).  If I don't reply to your blog comment within 48 hours, then you didn't include your email address.


Ok, so tell me something that you are celebrating this year (NOT Covid related).  


I'll draw the winner's name on Monday, January 25th.  That will give everyone plenty of time to get caught up on their blog reading (I'm usually several days behind).

  2. Let me be the first to say congratulations! I have enjoyed following you and learning about your machines and lovely style of quilting. Here is to many more blogging years. As for me, I celebrate each morning with coffee that I can still get around:)

  4. 10 years of blogging is certainly worth celebrating, Cheryl! I've enjoyed your posts for a few of those years and have followed you on Bloglovin'. I think you need to celebrate by buying yourself some pretty fabric and make something just for you! This year, I will be celebrating my 60th birthday. Gosh, I can't believe that I've said that...that 6 makes me feel so old. Have a wonderful week! duchick at gmail dot com

  5. Oh, so many of us started blogging around the same time and I am happy that most of us are still around. Congratulations on the milestone! Like Gene, the new year will be small celebrations for my Mom reaching a special day as she goes into her 93rd year. shavroo53(at)yahoo(dot)com

  7. Congratulations on 10 years of blogging, that’s quite an accomplishment! I’m a New York quilter that follows your blog through Bloglovin. My email is tpott@opt online.net. In 2020 I celebrated 15 cancer free. Back then I prayed to see my then 6 yr. old son graduate high school and next year he will graduate college. I can’t think of anything I’ve wanted more. Reading blogs has made the ups and downs easier to deal with, every day I can look forward to escaping into the quilting world. Reading blogs has been more helpful than anything else I’ve tried. Thank you for all you do, you don’t realize how much of what you do helps others.

  16. Beautiful first quilt posted! I follow by reading your blog posts in my email (my favorite way to follow bloggers). Celebrations are small and frequent here. Today, we cheered on the amaryllis plant that was a gift from DH's Gideon friend. It is about to bloom. Every morning I am amazed at how much it grows in 24 hours and remember each day is a gift to celebrate with joy and thanksgiving and by sharing beauty in a world that has suffered much in recent months. Thanks for sharing with us your wonderful quilts, interest in vintage machines, and snippets from your life.
