April Giveaway!

This month's giveaway is for a Smartek mini iron and 2 fat quarters.  The mini iron is oooooooh so cute!  And yes- it really does work.  It has a little cord and everything.  The fat quarters have just a little sparkle in them, in case you have a project that needs a little bling.

To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  That's all there is to it! 

If you want a SECOND entry, tell me that you are following this blog, or start to follow this blog..

For a THIRD entry, mention this giveaway on your blog.  You can post it on your sidebar or link to my blog in a post about the giveaway... whatever you like.  Just give me a shout out.

I'll draw a name at random on May 1st..  I'll post the name of the winner and I'll send you a private email, as well.  If you are a "no reply" blogger (no email in your profile) you will need to check back on May 1st to see if you've won.  If I have no way to contact you, I'll give you a couple of days and then I'll have to draw another name.

    Hi Sue!
    Looks like a fun little iron, I'm in, please. I've been following your blog for so long, my little square doesn't even show up, it's way back on the list :-}

    I'd love to have that little iron!
    Perfect for classes--and my current
    English paper piecing project!! (I'd let my hubby have my old one all to himself. He's taken up quilting in his retirement.)

    Hi Sue,
    What a nice iron for someone- it looks like a great thing to take to a class or retreat. I am not sure that I am a follower but I do have you on my blog list- I think I may be a follower as well but am not positive.
    Thanks for hosting another lovely giveaway.

    I'm sure the iron is a really smooth operator.
    Probably doesn't do the English grid though. But hey, does it matter

    great to click on!

    I have an American friend who would love it x x x
