The guess the project Giveaway - another clue

OK so I haven't been inundated with answers for this one - but some comments for the change in look for the blog - so thankyou and I will be doing a draw for that very soon.

But here is another pic for you to guess what the project is - hopefully!

So leave a comment of what you may think!! 

Another "new look"

HI again,

for those of you who haven't had a chance to look at the blog between now and about 20 mins ago I have yet another change! I had the windmill image of mine tiled across the top of the blog but it didn't look craft especially seeing I changed my fabric girly profile pic to me on the horse so now I have changed it to fabric!

Again there will be a prize for a comment in relation to the proposed changes to the image of the blog so don't forget!!!!

New Look

OK so I said I changed my photo in the other post - well now I have changed the whole kit and kaboodle!!! What do you think!!! It doesn't look crafty really though - but it does have my windmill logo now!!! I will have a lucky draw for those who leave a comment on the blog with their thoughts!!!!

More Clues for the Giveaway

OK now I know the last clue may have not been the easiest - so here is another!

See this really was an "in the process" pic - I promise - and for those that know me well the threads are definately gone!!!

So there you go - clue no. 2!! Good luck with your answers!

PS we had 1-2 inches over parts of the property about a fortnight ago and then another 156 points this week. Wonderful but a little disheartening when the neighbours get and extra 150 points!!!!!!! Hopefully much more to come!

The Challenge Continues!

Hi again everyone,

just a huge thankyou to those who have been leaving lovely comments on the blog so far and of course they then go into the draw for the prizes! There have been a few great ideas for christmas projects too. So if you haven't already scroll back through the older posts and click on comments and have a little read of what everyone has been chattering about!

So thankyou so far to Barbara, Cate, Virginia, Ralene, Arlie, Melissa, Raelene & Ree! So don't forget for your chance to win prizes get commenting! Its easy - really!

A Challenge for our Blog Followers!

OK - now I know that our blog is followed by family, friends, customers, people I know well, as well as new friends just waiting to be met! There are local, national and international visitors and for that we are very grateful! AND I also know that most of you are a little comment shy as you email me directly - which I looove, ring me which I looove BUT I would love for you all to partake in the whole blogging experience with each other too.

SO I WILL BE GIVING AWAY 3 PRIZES STARTING NOW AND RUNNING OVER THE MONTH OF OCTOBER! BUT TO QUALIFIY YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT! THE DRAW WILL TAKE PLACE ON THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER AND WINNERS NOTIFIED!

So start leaving some comments - they could be older posts or more recent ones - which ever you enjoyed, were inspired by, learnt something from etc etc. Just click on comment at the end of the post and go from there - and if you get stuck email me and I will help you! How easy is that to be in the chance to win a prize!

ALSO I have just thought that I will give another 2 prizes away to anyone who can give us some great gift ideas/projects for Christmas that they are willing to share on the blog and then we will vote on them via the comments to see which is the most popular! These could be little quick and easy projects, money saving ideas, just little purchased gifts - whatever you think other quilters would like to know about!

OK so you have 2 challenges everyone - and we want to hear from our blog followers near & far!

Good Luck and I will announce prize winners on the 1st November - don't forget!

Can't wait for the chatter!

August Winner

Our Fat quarter winner for August is Julie D. So congratulations Julie - I will send it to you via Shannon!

Well  Done!

We have Winners!

Yes we have the winners to guess my Injune Challenge - now I cannot divulge the answer - and don't be fooled the picture of the cupcakes in no ways implies what it is as that was the challenge fabric - not something I added!!!!!!!!!!!!

So a few of you were thrown a little by that - but we have - and because I am feeling extra generous 2 winners - Debbie & Maibry and runner up who was very close - Debra!

Congratulations - plus I have decided to give them each 2 patterns.

Now to the info about commenting - now I know lots of you are emailing me which I looove but if you would like to leave a comment - maybe you like what you see, maybe you have a question, maybe you wish to know that there are other people that do actually read this blog - I know you do because the sitemeter tells me we have up to 200 visits per week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From local, interstate & international visitors - and THANKYOU for that.

So to comment on a post you go to the end of the post and click on comment this will take you to where you can comment. If you don't have a typepad account - don't worry it costs nothing you can go through the steps to set up your blog name and it is very simple. When you comment you are asked to type in a copy of a set of letters or numbers that appear in a little box on the screen - this is just so that the system knows you are human and not a computer leaving dodgy things!

That way when we have "comment only" prizes you will all be up to speed. So have a little practice on some older posts and see how you go and if you get stuck email me and I will try and help you out.

Thanks again and congrats to the ladies. I will divulge in November what the project was!

Giveaway !!!!!!!!

OK now that the Injune Challenge has been extended - oh and by the way it is sort of my fault in a round about fashion - and a few other die hard patchworkers that can't make it that day - so I have decided that the first person to successfully guess what my project is will win something - I think it will have to be something different to a fat quarter this time as that is for the monthly winners - so I think it may be something like a pattern!

So everyone get your thinking caps on and either leave a comment or email me as to what you think it is. But I will have to try and let the winner know a little slyly so the cat isn't let out of the bag!

And - Guess what - when I did a little market analysis the other day I found out that this blog is actually read by people from the UK, Moraco, United States and many other countries !!!!!!!! The World Wide Web just never ceases to amaze me! So hello to all of of our international, interstate and local blog readers!

So this giveaway will run until someone guesses correctly!
