First of all, thank you so much for all the kind comments you left on my yesterday's post. You guys are the best! I really appreciate it.
That brings me to the fact that today is my first blogiversary. Yay!!! I'm so excited, I had no idea what to expect when I started this blog exactly a year ago. And now I can't imagine my life without it. It's amazing to be able to connect with other "kindred spirits" all over the world who don't think that I'm not totally out of my mind for not being able to sleep at night just because I'm thinking so much about fabric and the next quilt I want to work on. (yes, that does happen to me a lot and this is a very long sentence, wow!)
What better way to celebrate than with a giveaway, right? I had such a hard time deciding what fabric to give away, so I raided my stash and made this scrappy layer cake of 35 different 10" x 10" designer fabrics.
And, because I usually like to have more than one winner, and I absolutely love books, I'm also giving away Fresh Fabric Treats book by Moda Bake Shop.
The giveaway is open worldwide and will close on Monday evening when Mr. Random will choose 2 winners. Just leave a note in the comment section and you're in. You could also let me know what you'd like to see more of on my blog. I'd really appreciate your feedback.
Have a wonderful day, friends! Thanks for stopping by. Svetlana
Thank you so much, everyone. The giveaway is now closed and I'll announce who the winners are shortly.
Happy 1st Blog-aversary! Your personal 10 inch layer cake looks great. What a fantastic idea.

Hi Svetlana, I discovered your blog maybe 2-3 months ago and I love your quilts. Congrats on your first year and thanks for all of you projects. A few have made it on my to-do list. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Happy Bloggoversary!!! You take good photos, that's what I like about your blog. And, you can never have too many pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Blogiversary!! :-) I've been browsing your blog a little bit, and just wanted to tell you that I LOVE your stacked books so much!!! It is so colorful and looks exactly like stacks of books-- would make a perfect gift for a book lover! :-) Thank you for the chance to win one of your wonderful prizes!~ :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your tutorials!
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
I love your quilts! They are breathtakingly AWESOME. When I started quilting last year(I'm 32), I thought when I made my quilt, it was going to be 5" squares of material with flannel backing like my grandmother made us. She made some other scrappy quilts in the 70's made out of polyester and other fabrics, but I just love snuggling up in one of her flannel quilts.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited when I find quilts like yours. They are so gorgeous and I get so inspired to make something like that. (Funds are the issue right now)
Congrats on your anniversary. I love finding new cool blogs through the giveaways. I look forward to reading yours. Thanks for the chance to win. -Karrie
Love the variety of prints in your layer cake! Would love to have such a variety to make a really scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeletecongrats! I have been enjoying reading your blog! you have great color sense. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't belive that you have achieved so much in just one year! well done.
ReplyDeleteHappy blog-aversary :) Just keeping showing all the amazing things you make :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Blog-aversary! I have no suggestions, I'm pretty sure if I was creative enough I'd be making stuff instead of scouring blogs for fantastic ideas ;) I'd love to see more pattern reviews of course, I never see people do them except for clothes, and reviews are always so helpful to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy first anniversary! I love to read your blog!
