Checking Back In With a Giveaway
I can hardly believe that it's been 2 months since I wrote a blog post. Sheesh! I don't post for a while and come back and see that Blockspot has a whole new look. I like the new reader format. I really have missed blogging and reading blog posts. Looks like I have some catching up to do. I'm such a creature of habit! I love writing blog posts and generally post several times a week. But when I get busy and get off track- I get out of the habit and have trouble getting back to it. My quilt guild had a show this past weekend. Several of my friends teased me about missing my blog so I thought I'd shock them by posting tonight!
Looking back over the past 2 months, I've attended 2 quilt classes, been involved in a car accident, gone to the beach twice- each time with one of our sons and daughter in law, planted a veggie garden (DH built me a deer fence!), harvested our lavender field (2,000 bundles!), attended Sock Summit, visited the Mission Mill Museum in Salem, Oregon, and knitted and quilted a LOT. And then there was a wonderful quilt show this past weekend. I'll post the highlights of most of the above over the next few days, but let's get things going with a giveaway.
I'm giving away a Boondoggle Ruler and pattern set by Bella Nonna Quilts. Entering is easy!
For one entry, simply reply to THIS POST. That's all! Just comment and you're entered.
For a second entry, be a follower. It doesn't matter if you're a long time follower or if you just signed up today. For the second entry you have to do a SECOND COMMENT to THIS POST and just tell me you are a follower.
For a third entry, tell your friends about the giveaway- post it on your blog, tweet, post it on FB... whatever. But you need to do another comment on THIS POST to let me know.
I count the comments and put that number in the random number generator to select a winner, so you need to do a comment for each entry to make them count. I'll select a winner on NOVEMBER 1st. Good luck!

Well Sue,
I have wondered where you were these days. I hope that you have not suffered any long term ill effects from the car accident. The lavender sounds lovely and I can see by your post that you have been one busy lady. The ruler looks awesome.
