Giveaway Winners

Random Winner
Okay, I went through all 106 comments and took out any double ups so everyone was only in once, this left me with 102 individual entries.  I fed this number into the Random Number Chooser thingy and it came up with number 42.

So, the lucky winner of the random draw is Debbie from the Sunshine Coast.  

Debbie, please email me your address details so I can send you your prize.  I don't have any way to contact you so I hope you read this post!

Favourite Comment Winner
Yeah, great idea Kelly - NOT!!!  I knew it was going to be hard to pick just one favourite comment.  I gave up, I have three.  The first will get some of the yummy yellow and blue fabrics and the second two will get something else that I'm sure you'll both enjoy.  Drum roll puhleeez, the winners are:

1.  sfer - coz you gave me lots of good book tips and you made me laugh with "Anyway. Am I talking too much? Well... you shouldn't have asked!"

2.  Vicki - coz my kitties like to hang around when I sew as well...seems to be a kitty thing.  I have a moggie and two gorgeous ragdoll kitties and they all love to harass me when I try to sew!

3.  Esther - coz you share my love of purple which is the bestest colour there is!!!

Thank you all for your comments, I LOVED reading them all!

Random "Giver" Winner
I used Katy's alphabetical list to give you all a number, I took myself out and that gave me 54 entries into the draw.  The Random Integer Generator said that the winner is number 39

So, the mystery prize winner is Quilty Gal!  This prize is a mystery to me too, I'll pick some yummy things out of my stash over the weekend and they'll be in the post on Tuesday!  I have something in mind, I hope you like it! 

Well, that's all folks!

Giveaways Galore!


H
ello lovely bloggy people,
my portion of Katy's TGISBG is now CLOSED.  I'll post the winners tomorrow night, so check back then.

I've REALLY enjoyed this giveaway, it has been fantastic reading all your comments and blog-hopping around the place to look at the blogs of the other participants - and enter some giveaways myself!  

Soooooo, because I'm having soooo much fun, I've decided to give some more!!!  I'm now giving away two lots of the fabric I've shown.  The first giveaway will be a random pick, and the second will be based on my fave comment (that is going to be truly difficult).  Plus, I'm going to enter all the other GIVERS participating in Katy's fab TGISBG into a draw for a mystery prize - coz I think one good turn (or in this case, giveaway) deserves another! LOL :-)

Lastly, coz I know that you all LOVE giveaways (both giving and receiving), I'm going to list all the giveaways I find out about on the right side of my blog.  Please let me know if you are hosting any and I'll be sure to put them up.

Oh, and one more thing - I'm sure to be giving away more stuff, so pop back from time to time for a visit and say hello!

Okay, so there is something else I wanted to say.... you might have seen this already, but if not, check out this cute piccie of a KOALA taking a bath to cool down - it's been extremely hot in the Southern parts of Australia recently!

Happy blogging!!!

It's a small world after all!

Hi everyone

Someone asked if I'm including folks from outside of Australia in my giveaway. The answer is YES!

Everyone is welcome. Just be sure to let me know how to contact you so I can get your address details when you win!!!

Oh, please don't comment on this post, comment on the GIVEAWAY post below - okay?


Good Luck! :-)

Let the GIVEAWAY fun begin!!!


This Giveaway is now CLOSED!  
I'll post the winners tomorrow night as it is after midnight now so I'm off to bed!

Well, it is twenty minutes to midnight here in Brisbane, Australia, so by the time I finish this post and upload a photo it will probably be 4 February.  

So....... (drum roll please), It gives me great pleasure to declare that the Purple Paisley Patch contribution to Katy's Great International Stash Busting Giveaway is now up for grabs!

This giveaway will be open until midnight on 6 February, so that should give everyone enough time to get an entry in.

The fabric below is up for grabs, together with what other odds and ends I find to add to the parcel.
To enter, just comment on this post, but make it interesting for me by telling me something about yourself.  Tell me anything you like, it might be your favourite quilt block, favourite fabric designer, favourite colour, how many and what type of pets you have, favourite book, favourite movie, something about yourself that you think is interesting - whatever you like!  Please make sure I can get in touch with you if you are the lucky winner.

When the clock strikes midnight on 5 February the Giveaway will be closed and I will draw a winner when I crawl out of bed on 6 February.  I'm hoping to do this using the random number generator thingy that I've heard about, but failing that, numbers will go in a hat (or some sort of container) and I will referee a fight between my two children to see who gets to draw the number out.  Of course, then I will have to have another giveaway in the near future so the other child gets to draw a number out of the hat.  Not that they are at all competitive!!!! LOL

All right, enough of my rambling, it is almost midnight!  Don't forget to go to Katy's blog to see who else is taking part in the Giveaway.

GOOD LUCK!

Sunday Stash

Welcome to my Sunday Stash Premiere!
For my first showing I've decided to share a lovely collection of thirties prints that I had been eyeing off for well over a year at my local quilting shop - The Quilters Corner (Keperra, Qld).  I kept saying "one day".  
Finally I took the plunge and bought this lovely set of 18 FQs.  

Don't forget to check back here on Wednesday, 4 February to take part in The Great International Stash Busting Giveaway.  I (along with many other bloggers) will be giving away some lovely goodies - but there is no chance I'm giving away these thirties prints! :-)

WIP - Quilts for Jelly-Bean and Sweet-Pea

I have two minkee baby quilts on the go atm.  One is up to the quilting stage, and the other is still being pieced.  They are for the adorable babies of two of my dearest girlfriends.  I actually bought the kit for the first one before my friend Katie was even pregnant (I knew she was trying)!  


This is the one that is ready to be quilted, but is now going to be for Em's baby as Katie had a boy so I bought some space-type fabrics to do up a second quilt for him.  

I'm determined to get both quilts completed in time for Jelly-Bean's and Sweet-Pea's first birthdays - March and April respectively.  Wish me luck!
