You're invited to a blogwarming!

I recently won a little quilt on Paula's blog in celebration of her 100th post and am eagerly anticipating it's arrival-lol-I've never been so diligent about checking the mailbox. Her contest was such fun and it was so neat to win that I thought that to celebrate the kick starting of my new blog (and give myself a nice incentive to keep updating regularly) we'd have a little blogwarming party and give some stuff away.

The first is this set of 4 super soft plaid FQ's. Wouldn't these look great in Bonnie's Smokey Mountain Stars quilt?

#2 is the Turning Twenty...Again pattern and a gorgeous Laurel Burch kitty FQ. I made a Turning Twenty Again for my first quilt. My LQS owner gently ( and wisely) talked me out of the much more ambitious sampler project I'd picked out. My Turning Twenty Again is on the back of my couch and I thought it would be fun to let someone else have a crack at this pattern. It's perfect for a beginner-and believe my I was a rank beginner but still fun for an experienced quilter. The FQ is actually a gorgeous chocolate brown-I just take terrible pictures.
#3 is 40 12 inch Christmas themed 9 patches. I know, I know, it's not a finished quilt (you're going to have to wait for a few more posts for that) but it's enough blocks to make 1 or more quilts depending on what you do with them. These are from a swap I participated in and I've actually used a bunch of these blocks in a quilt. Let's just say I got carried away swapping and now it's time for someone else to have some fun with them.

If you'd like to be in the draw for the giveaway just leave a comment before next Friday-the 25th. I'll draw names and announce the winners on Saturday. If you don't have an e-mail linked to your blogger profile make sure you leave me a way to contact you if you win.

Welcome to BlogLand! I left you a message in the wrong part of your blog - as you can tell I'm not 'zactly blog-savvy ....... LOL

I'd love a shot at the pattern. I have the first one and would like to build on that.

Sign me up--I'd be thrilled to win any of the blogwarming gifts. I love the plaids, have never made a turning 20 quilt and think it would be fun to make those 9-patches disappear ;-)

Hey Becca,
Nice blog. I really like the look of it. It's so sharp no one would guess it's your first.

Hi Becca,
What a lovely idea for a blogwarming. The green in those plaids is a lovely shade. Thank you for including the link to the 'Smokey Mountain Stars' design. I have been collecting plaids but hadn't found a design that was just that little bit different to the usual. This one will be just perfect.

I have heard about 'Turning Twenty' but only first saw this design a few minutes ago on the forum. LOL
Simple but very effective!

All the best with your blogging and joy in your quilting.
Sadia
