Four years / day three

***************CLOSED**************


Welcome to day three of my four years four days of giveaways!
 (this post contains bad language, NSFWorKids)

In my third year of blogging, I fulfilled my Spiderweb dream...  or at least I designed the block I wanted, did a tutorial and asked my bee mates to make it!  Lets just say it was met with mixed reception, but everyone did send me blocks, I even got a couple from friends outside of the bee.
Well, for a March 2013 start, we have a November 2014 finish!



Instead of signature blocks I stamped the name and blog name of each contributor on a strip in their blocks, and I love that, I can see right away all my friends names jumping out at me!
Its free motioned in the solid, and I did 2 or 3 rings of hand quilting in various bright perle cottons in each web.  And I bloomin love it!!!


But back to the free stuff!
For day three, I'd like to giveaway an embroidered hoop.



Yes, its empty just now, to win just tell me what you'd like it to say! Here's a wee reminder of some I've done already.





Again, giveaway is open to one and all, just make sure you are not a NO REPLY BLOGGER, I am not chasing you, I need to be able to contact you!  Giveaway will run til the 18th December.

  2. I love that spider web quilt. Gutted you aren't giving that away :-D I've always wanted to make one just not enough to actually start. As for what I'd want in the hoop. My mind is blank so I'd unhelpfully leave that to you.

  3. Hmmm... not sure exactly yet but I think it's got to be something a bit gangsta or street but tongue in cheek, maybe from Armstrong and Miller,'s airmen sketches, just to make me smile.... or how about "I'm shutting your butt down" - Tarantino :D

  10. Oh I love the cuteness at the end. I Love all the hoops you've made, but one along the lines of "finished is way better than perfect" would be meaningful to me as I never finish anything!

  11. Look at big girl Molly! :). As for the hoop - "It seemed like a good idea at the time" is a phrase that seems to crop up a lot in my life or any Malcolm Tucker quote. Fuckity bye!

  20. Ooh, a brill giveaway!!! I'd be asking for a Sheldon quote (I love the ducks one!) or maybe......a nice wee Tim W lyric?

    I do adore your spiderwebs (great bee block!) and couldn't you just squeeze those wee cheeks forever?! Such a cute kid. *g*

  21. I love the Spiderwebs quilt! (And Molly Moo, obviously - she's so cute and happy in that photo!) I'd love a hoop, maybe something from Sheldon et al? Nothing too rude and not sweary, thank you, or I'd have to take it down each time my mam popped in ;o)

  22. The spweb quilt is amazing, love the bright colours (I always say 'sp' instead of the whole word because even that is too scary). Thanks for a fun giveaway too. x

  23. Wow, that quilt turned out so wonderfully, and I am glad to have made a block for it too. Molly is looking just adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Molly Moo is such a beauty. Reminds me a little of my big girl when she was a tiddler- same colouring. I have ideas for the hoop!

  25. I love your spiderweb quilt :) I'd love a hoop made by you. If I won, can it say 'that rug really tied the room together'? One of my fav films :) http://youtu.be/_vGK008c_rA

  27. Can I just have the sweetie on the couch?

  28. The last photo is the best :) I'm so happy I could be a part of your spiderweb quilt even if I'm not your bee mate.
    I love my adhesive ducks hoop so I'm not sure if I can be greedy and hope for another one...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh another beautiful quilt! Spiderwebs are so on my to do list (one day!!) maybe a buffy quote for the hoop?!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love your Webby quilt and those hoops are fan! If I won one I'd love a Harry Potter quote, or just something you thought was appropriate :)

  31. I wasn't anti that quilt block! I just couldn't understand the need for selvedges - I think that was you (sorry made few in my time and they merge!) Haha! It looks fabulous as does the wee one!
