Blogaversary


As I tackle my Bonnie Hunter UFO Challenge, I ponder this day.  Gosh, could it be 5 years ago that I started this wonderful journey?  The friends made, discoveries of the wide web of quilters, challenges, Blog Hops, Swaps, and all the patterns/tutorials so freely shared.

AND boy have I talked - this is my 1000 post!!

 

I've partnered up with my dear friend Kris @ Lavender Quilts again.  I noticed she has a large selection of Jelly Rolls in her Etsy Shop (she's on retreat right now but back on Saturday). So in honor of this occassion I am giving away two Jelly Rolls of your choice (I pay shipping) - one for my USA followers and one for my Out of States followers.

Simply leave a comment by Friday, Oct 23rd (9pm est) and be sure I have a way of contacting you. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day,
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
