The March giveaway is WEEKEND WONDERS.
This is a 16-page pattern booklet with instructions for 5 beginner-level quilts along with quilting basics. Great book for the new quilter or for an experienced quilter who is looking for a quick project that looks great.
To enter, all you have to do is COMMENT TO THIS BLOG POST and ask for a chance to win. It's that easy!
For a second entry, if you are a follower of this blog, post a SECOND COMMENT to THIS POST and let me know that you are a follower. It doesn't matter if you are a long-time follower or if you just signed up 2 minutes ago.
For a third entry, if you have a blog of your own, do a blog post about this giveaway, or put it on your sidebar... whatever you like. Just tell your readers about this giveaway somehow, and do a THIRD COMMENT to THIS POST and let me know that you told your readers about the giveaway.
I'll select a winner at random on April 1st. Good luck!
I try to reply to most comments to my blog posts. If you are only commenting to enter the giveaway, I probably won't send you a personal reply. If your comments show up at the end of this post, then you're entered. If you've made other comments to my blog posts and have never heard from me, it probably means that you are a "no reply" commenter. That means you have chosen to keep your email address private. That's fine, but it means I can't contact you to chat or to let you know if you have won. If you wish to remain anonymous, be sure to check back on April 1st or 2nd and see if you've won. If I can't connect with the winner, I'll have to draw another name.
While we're on this subject... I have a suggestion for those of you who want to keep your email private, but would like to comment and play along with various activities on the internet. Consider opening another email account.... a free one with yahoo or gmail, or hotmail... or many others. Keep that email address for receiving newsletters, entering contests, posting on blogs, etc. You can even use it when you order things online or for a facebook account. This keeps your personal email pretty clear of junk mail and keeps spam way down. You should check it from time to time to see if you've received any emails from actual people (like me!), but most of the email you really want will be in your clutter-free personal in-box.
I'm always sad when I receive a nice comment or a question from a reader and I can't reply. Often, the person doesn't even realize that I can't reply. Many people who show up as "no reply" don't know it.
While I'm on a roll here.....
In the past week, several people have asked me how to reply. I don't have one answer because everybody has different accounts and settings and what-have-you. But I think the most helpful thing for most people is to get a google ID. I think if you try to reply and don't have one, it will ask you if you want one. If you're having particular problems commenting, send me a private email and I'll see if I can help.
Good luck to all...

ReplyDeleteHi! My name is Jeanne and I am addicted to quilt books. This addiction has been with me for about 10 years now and I really struggle to suppress the urges to give in and buy just one more. I thought I had the addiction under control when I joined 4 different Book of the Month Clubs and of course what were the books I ordered, yes you are right, Quilt Books, novels about quilts, quilts quilts quilts. This is a book I don't have and since it is a contest and I "might" win it isn't like I am giving in to the urges, just having fun with my blogging friends. Thanks for the opp. to win this neat looking booklet.
ReplyDeleteI am following you on facebook.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like another fun giveaway Sue- I recognize Pamela's name- I wonder if I have another book by her name- hmmmm- My brain is a bit mushy this evening as I just have completed report cards.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to win a book that has some new patterns to check out- perhaps even to create.
It is a very generous thing to do..

I have been one of your followers for quite awhile. It is always interesting to come and visit you and see what fun things you are up to- I enjoyed recent posts about glass blowing and the reason the price of fabric is increasing...
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting such a nice giveaway.
Regards,
Anna
Your glass blowing looks fascinating (something I've always dreamt about doing!). This book looks like a great idea--I could need to learn how to finish something in a weekend (or ever!). Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
