I started Tool Time Tuesdays on March 10th 2009, thinking I would do a few Tuesdays and then run out of ideas...who knew it would be a year later.
space
As a thank you to all of you who have been there each week encouraging me along the way, I want to have a give away with some of the items from the TTT posts. Below is a picture of some of the things that I purchased duplicates of...apron, retractable scissor clips, bag of pipe handles, package of 10 aluminum sheets for the dry erase board, eye bolts for the sewing necklace, bobbin cards for quilt row markers, hair elastics for bobbins, washers to make circles for applique and much more. I have to run out this week and pick up a few more items to add to the give away...so stay tuned!

I'm also including 2 fat quarters from Moda's French General...Rouenneries to do the projects that require fabric, like the trim on the apron.

I was organizing some patterns this weekend and found these that I have had for a long time. They are brand new and need to go to a good home, so they will be included in the give away too.

- leave a comment on this post for one entry
- if you are a follower, leave another comment and let me know for a second chance
- if you would like to become a follower, which I would LOVE, click the follow button and come back and leave another comment letting me know, for a second entry
- if you do a post about this give away on your blog, leave another comment letting me know for a third chance.
- I have a lot of friends who stop by each Tuesday who don't have blogs, so just email or tell a friend about the give away and that will take the place of doing a blog post. Don't forget to do another comment though.
If you would like 3 chances, you need to leave 3 different comments. This makes it so easy to keep track of everyone's entries if they are all separate.
Thanks again for being with me through all those Tuesdays and I hope we can have many more together!! I'll pick the winner next Sunday March 21st.
~Karen~
Karen, what fun! And it looks like I'm the first comment! Yea!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm a follower! Everyone who's anyone should be!

ReplyDeleteKaren I have really enjoyed your TTT posts and can't believe that it has been a year. I won a heart table runner from one of your giveaways last year, well, I am proud to say I have finally finished quilting it and a little embarrassed that it took me so long. I will post a picture of it on my blog soon. I just have a little more binding to put on. I wish I was better at free motion quilting though...I start a class this week. Thanks so much for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, I have blogged about this contest on my blog today. http://barbsstitches.blogspot.com
