A Giveaway to Celebrate 100,000 Pageviews!

I love quilting. I think that's pretty obvious to anyone that hops over to my blog on a regular basis! Of course you have to know that my life consists of more than just quilting! I have a husband, teenaged kids, some dreaded book work to take care of on a regular basis, a huge extended family and loads of friends in our church. Life is insanely busy at times and it's not always peaches and cream! lol

So I quilt. Sometimes I even quilt when I should be cleaning house, but you won't ever see those pictures around here because this is where I talk about quilting, which I love. Oh yeah. I already said that, didn't I? There's not very many people in my day-to-day life that love quilting like I do. And that's why I started lurking around on quilting blogs several years ago. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all the people who share their little quilting obsessions and/or share pictures of the current quilting project!

Inspiration from Barbara Brackman

For instance: Barbara Brackman. Her blog is an absolute treasure trove of inspiration to me all the year long! Years ago I used to go to Tallgrass Prairie Studio all of the time to read about her quilting process. Her quilts, wonderful though they are, aren't exactly my style, but the process--fascinating! And there are a hundred others who quietly inspired me to keep quilting, keep trying, keep doing what I was almost embarrassingly obsessive about really fascinated with doing so that my life could be just a little more vibrant today.

When I finally got brave enough to quit lurking anonymously, I started my own quilt blog. Then I slowly started showing more and more of my own quilting efforts--the good, the bad and sometimes even the really unfortunate. I started commenting on what I couldn't hardly help myself from commenting on and now today, it's led to some good friends and the random interesting conversation with some really crazy people. I mean, we're talking about people who find joy in cutting up bits of fabric into little tiny pieces and then rearranging them into something to stress and lose sleep over because of 'layout' difficulties. THEN, immediately upon a quilts finish, they cuddle up with said object thinking warm fuzzies until they are safely asleep and no doubt drooling on it as well. Tch, tch! Like I said. Crazy.

So, to all you crazy people out there who read my blog--thank you for your wonderful, if sometimes quiet support! Yesterday I reached 100,000 page views which probably needs to be celebrated. Some of these visits are random, one-time visits, but a lot of them are not. There are followers of my blog. So... crazy. Yep, they probably come back to see the next strange project I'm diving into or if I ever figured out my border dilemma. Things like that. It deserves a good giveaway, don't you think?

The Giveaway: I am giving away to one lucky recipient only, one piece of 80/20 Hobbs Heirloom batting. This batting is 96 inches long, so if you're the winner, you'll need to give me the width you want (UP TO 100") along with your mailing address at the end of the giveaway. I'll send this piece of batting to a winner in the United States or even Internationally. I have a lot of visitors from other countries and no matter what my kids say, it's not all spam!

Lips sealed and all that.*wink Feel free to leave a second comment if you are a Google or Bloglovin' follower. The giveaway will be open for one week! Good luck!
