You might remember Kathy's Mail Sack pattern that I made. I especially love the fabrics packs and fun patterns she also has in her store.
So, here's the part where you come in:
My little blog is quickly approaching it's one year mark. I've been trying to come up with an exciting giveaway to thank you, Readers, for all your encouragement and crafty inspiration. I've mentioned how I don't keep much of a fabric stash, so there's not a lot to choose from around here. But when I won Kathy's giveaway, I thought, "Why not pay it forward to one of my readers?"
Leave a comment here by noon Eastern Standard Time (New York time) Monday, February 16, to be entered in a random drawing for a $10 gift certificate to Pink Chalk Fabrics.
But, WAIT, there's more! (said in my best infomercial tone):
I contacted Kathy to make sure she had no objections to my idea, and she generously offered to sponsor a $10 gift certificate herself. So, that's right, I have not one, but TWO $10 gift certificates to giveaway to two lucky readers. Thanks so much, Kathy!
Be sure to leave me a comment and include your email address if it is not available through a blogger profile. If you don't know what to say, tell me what crafty thing you are working on. Even you, lurkers, I want to hear from you, too!

I had never seen Pink Chalk fabrics...thanks a lot now I have yet another place to spend too much money....I love looking at your quilts!
I only recently started reading your blog. I love your Interlocking Pinwheels quilt and plan on starting one soon. Thanks for offering a tutorial for it; it's beautiful!
Wow - that's an amazing give away idea!! EVERYONE wants free fabric of their choice!! So generous of you. Your knitting tote is going to be killer. I have a half yard of that same Echino fabric and I need to decided on a pretty bag pattern to make with it!
such a great giveaway! I love the echino fabric, but never buy it. I don't know why...I am working on a quilt (always), trying whittle down my in progress stack!
Hi, I just recently stumbled upon your blog through someone else's. I can't remember now. I can't believe you've been quilting such a short time. Your work is so beautiful. I'm just learning myself. I've just finished up a doll quilt and it was my first go at free motion quilting. I've had a twin size Christmas quilt done for a month or so, but have been afraid to start quilting it for fear of messing it up. I think I'm just going to jump in and do it. Thanks for the inspiration! I check you daily now.

I have a couple of random projects I am working on right now:
Baby leg warmers
diaper bag
pull over dresses
Basically all for my kids and nothing for me!
the japanese fabrics are fantastic! i'd love to be one of your winners.
my current projects (tooo many...):
-baby quilt for nephew-to-be (this one is in the hoop and being stitched while i watch t.v.)
-cat-in-the-hat quilt for my son - basted and waiting
-a polka dot corduroy skirt for myself that only needs a zipper, hem and waistband now
-my very first Quilt of Valor to donate to an injured sailor
I just subscribed to your blog a few weeks ago. Love your quilts, and I'm a Pink Chalk fan/customer too. Right now I'm working on a wedding quilt, baby quilt, some curtains and a wall hanging.
I love contemporary Japanese fabrics. They are just so charming and quirky. Nice choices.
Oh my goodness, I love those birds!
Congratulations on your blogaversary!
Wow! Among all the wonderful fabric, there is some super cute softie patterns I was just eyeing at Pink Chalk! I'm finishing up my first quilt for my son in a twin size and want to make 3 crib size quilts for soon-to-be-born nephews and a friends baby. Love your blog!!
what a great giveaway!! and i love the fabrics you got with your gift certificate! :)
i started working on a patchwork valance and a banner for my girls room yesterday. i've got lots of new projects i've started, though i need to finish my others too! :)

I've been reading Kathy's blog for quite a while, she's pretty creative. Thanks for the giveaway. Right now I'm working on a little crafty thing for my guy for valentines day, clue: I stole the idea from tallgrassprairestudio! she's fun and creative also!
Hi. I would love to win so $ to buy some gorgeous fabrics. I just finished a quilt for my mom and I am deciding what to do next. Hmmmmm.....
I found your blog through the Dear Baby Jane site and I really like your purples. Mine is from shot cottons but in Jane's colourway - very slow going!

awesome giveaway! thanks so much for hosting. i'm hoping that michael jordan's #23 will be lucky for me!!
Congrats on 1 year! I found your blog many months ago and I've enjoyed reading and seeing all your projects! This is a great giveaway, especially for us fabric lovers! Right now I'm working on finishing up napkins (11 more to go!) and I hope to have time to make a couple of the star blocks...
Happy Blogaversary! I love all things fabric right now, but I'm also a knitter, so I'm trying to balance my time between both. It turns out that I'm beginning to stash up a lot on both ends, though. Ha ha. Congrats on the one year mark. I'm working on finishing up some placemats and a table runner.
Wow, congratulations! Really, what could be better than dogs and quilts? I have enjoyed your blog from the beginning.

Congrats on the one year mark! Right now I'm working on quilts for my daughters beds, brainstorming ideas for my sister's wedding quilt, and thinking about a tote bag for my sister-in-law. Definitely post a pic of your finished knitting tote!

Wow, what a fantastic idea. So nice of you to pay it forward and so nice of Kathy. I love both of the fabrics that you got, they have such great stuff at Pink Chalk Fabrics.

Woderful idea! I'm (STILL) working on a baby quilt for my neighbor.
My weekend project may be to take a break from it and make a yoga mat bag for myself.. :)

What a fabulous idea! I don't have a blog of my own, but I leave reading everyones! I just started, well 4 months ago, to quilt. I'm learning slowly and am almost finished with my first stacked coin quilt and started a log cabin as well! What a generous gift you are offering!!

i'm currently in the middle of sewing a lap-ish size quilt. i can't wait to finish it because i'm really loving it!
happy blogbirthday!
i'm working on some baby quilts right now; so many people are popping them out!
ps- you chose some excellent fabrics.
I have two quilts in progress - my first two quilts. i've just picked up this little obsession, and can't seem to stop.

I wish I had more time to sew these days (ah, grad school) - but this week I bought some skirts that are slightly too big for my daughter and I am working on altering the waistbands so they will fit her. Currently one down, three to go.
thank you so much for commenting on my blog, im so glad I found yours!! sign me up for that giveaway!!
I just linked here from a kind comment you left on my mom's blog. What a fun giveaway. Thanks! I am currently working on a selvage baby blanket. I don't know why but I just can't seem to get enough of selvages, they are so fun to put together. Plus it is forgiving and doesn't have to be perfect, which works well for me considering that I'm relatively new to the quilting scene. Thanks again.

Coming out of lurkerdom to participate in this (per your request!) I'm Clevelandgirlie, but could aptly be named, A Girl and Two Corgis! for while my blog is about fiber art and quilting - my two corgis get much more attention from my readers than do my quilts!!! What an inspiring prize - please do enter me and I promise to be more "vocal" from now on!!!
Thanks for all the inspiration! I love that fabric--I would definitely use my $10 to get my hands on some of it!
pretty darn sweet of her to do that! you're pretty fab too. such inspiration on your blog!!!
Really? How cool is that?! Ooh, I hope I win.
I just finished a double fleece quilt for my DD#2. AND she's coming home for a visit this weekend.
I'm a charity quilter ... last year I gave away about 45 quilts to various groups. I love making and giving away quilts. I presently have 22 charity quilts waiting to be quilted by Prince. And I certainly have tons of fabric waiting to become quits to be loved and cherished by other.
I'm planning to try my hand at knitting. A friend makes the cutest scarfs ... I love them.
Please throw my name into the pot.
I have currently been working on my first completed quilt top from the Yellow Brick Road pattern using mostly Amy Butler fabrics. It turned out really good. Now I just have to get backing. Next up is a quilt for my friend for her graduation (hopefully-I mean the quilt).

I'm working on a simple daisy quilt that is almost done, and a stack coins quilt in blues with white sashing. I usually do my quilting in spurts...like I get so motivated and go at it for hours and hours, and then don't touch anything for a few days, and then blitz again for hours and hours. I'm on a dry spell right now. Tomorrow , I will finish! I love Pink Chalk Studios - I just purchased some Kona Solids fq's from there today!

I am a lurker. he he I would love to win this... I haven't won anything yet either. This would be cool.
Thanks to Kathy too. How cool of her.
I ENJOY your blog!
My current projects: mini red/white doll quilt, Easter mini quilts (3 that were unfinished from years past) and a pastel mini doll quilt when those are all done!!!! Whew! I am off to the sewing machine...
Hi, I'm Jittina from the Netherlands.
I'm just a beginning quilter: I'v just started a beginners course and finished my second block this weekend. Now I'll have to wait a whole week before my next lesson!
I really like your whirlygiggles quilt, nice colours. I would love to make one in white and blues. But that is for later. If I win I will choose blue fabrics for this!
