A few days ago I realized that I was coming up on my 600th post. When I started this blog almost 3 years ago I couldn't imagine it would become what it has.
Some big moments over the last 600 posts.
Making my first dress.
Having my first tutorial on the Moda Bake Shop
Telling you about my book, Skip the borders.
Too many to list them all!!
--
So to celebrate I'm having a giveaway. I'm going to give my 6 new patterns to one lucky reader. Yummy, Varsity & the four I haven't even shared with you yet. {I will in just a few days!!}

ReplyDeleteworking on a birthday quilt for my sisters MIL. Thimbleberries. no wonder I waited until the last minute, huh? congratualtions and thanks for sharing it with us
ReplyDeleteHUGE congratulations to you Julie. I hope you continue as you have and continue moving up. I'm sure you have great things ahead with your patterns and everything else.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am in between any projects. Medically I'm nursing elbow and wrist problems on the opposite arm. I'm sporting two different 'braces' to help support those things. It hurts to just pick up my coffee cup so messing with fabrics for a few days is not possible. I'm hoping by later this next week I'll be fine after giving those things a little break from being used. For now I'm working on cleaning my tables off so they are all set to go in a few days. (I opted to not get cortisone shots because they hurt so badly. Plus the ortho doc told me yesterday the one in that wrist area is THE WORST possible shot of all areas to get the cortisone shots and jokingly said my husband has to come with to hold me down. ACK! WHAT? NO! thank you but I think I'll adopt that wait and see approach for a little longer. LOL
BUT, right after that I'll be doing more baby things for my Granddaughter and also for her Momma. I think Momma needs a purse or possibly a diaper bag so that's my plan. BUT, I might have to ammend that if I change my mind as I often do.
Ok I'll shut up now since I'm writing way too much as usual. Congratulations again Julie. Just remember all your fans here when you have your own tv show K? :)
I am makeing up a bargello quilt as I go...lots of fun

ReplyDeleteI am currently working on my first baby! LOL! That has taken up most of my energy and free time, so my crafting has been put on hold. That isn't to say that I don't have many WIPS (Fruitcake under the tree skirt, a disappearing 9-patch for my nephew, 3 years of blocks of the month to do something with) not to mention the projects I want to make for the baby! Someday, I will get back into the groove, I know!
Thanks for the chance to win!
