So want to offer a little giveaway as my way of saying Thank You! for taking the time to visit and comment.
This has come about in part from Wendy over at The Constant Quilter who put out a request for anyone to send her an orphan block that she could incorporate into a “Community Supper” quilt. I sent her a little basket block for her to use and received the sweetest packet of chocolatey browns and caramel squares. What a delightful surprise and I knew how they could be used.
Using the pattern “Little Women” from Pam Buda’s book, 2 little quilts are made up of Wendy’s fabric squares and additions from my own stash. What to do with 2 little quilts? Well, I must have one for myself - chocolatey browns and caramels being a favorite color palette of mine...that other little quilt...
If you would like to leave a comment on this blog posting, your name will go into a drawing - I would so enjoy sending this mini off to a new home. Both quilts have the same backing - a vintage piece from a collection of Jo Morton’s - Jo’s Friends.
I will keep this posting open until July 14th (Tuesday).
Again, thank you for visiting. Please continue to be safe and stay well.

Oh, my goodness, to win a little chocolatey brown and caramel quilt made by your hands, including fabrics gifted by Wendy?!? Win, win, win!! So I truly hope I do--win, that is. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have "met" you along the way, Pat. Always a pleasant time visiting you in the outback.
First of all, Congratulations on a 10th blogging anniversary! I often wonder if blogging will even be a thing in another ten years. That is a sweet mini, and so nice of you to share with one of your readers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little giveaway. I started blogging in 2009, so we are close in time.
ReplyDeleteComment from Dottie in Connecticut who sent email - grew up not far from Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. Each summer we would spend hours at the park. In the late 50's and the 60's there was not a fee to enter the park, so with picnic baskets in hand we would spend the afternoons at the park. The smell of Chocolate was always in the air especially if it was a bit humid. School trips always included a trip through the factory with free Hershey Kisses. My relatives worked at the factory, so candy dishes always sparkled with silver foil kisses. So your "box" of chocolate would be a delightful reminder as well as a deliciously beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteKeep on blogging, with this pandemic we need encouragement and a positive influence on our days.

ReplyDeleteWOW! 10 Years of blogging! I love reading your blog and seeing your work. I find it so inspiring. I am not good at blogging. Good Luck to all.
ReplyDeleteWell, a day late (actually 3) and a dollar short. I hope this lovely little quilt went to someone who will really love it.
