Birthday Giveaway

Saturday meant it was time for a little ... or a lot ... of yummy chocolate mud cake for my birthday. So what better reason to have a giveaway?
All you need to do is leave a comment telling me which items you would like to win ... can be all 3 if you're super lucky. Then on Monday the 4th of April I'll pop all the names into corresponding hats and draw out the lucky winners.

As an avid reader of the 'Elm Creek' series, this book didn't have as much quilt content as I expected, but none the less I found it hard to put down. An enjoyable read. If you would like the chance to read 'The Alpine Quilt', just ask for "Book" in your comment.



Now that my little chicken is all finished he doesn't really suit my kitchen, so if you would like to give him or her a nice home please ask for "Chicken" in your comment.


These half square triangles were leftovers from my SIL quilt. I couldn't just throw them away but I know I'll never put them to use. If you would like to put them to good use then ask for "Squares" in your comment.


Have a great week!

  1. Happy Birthday! That's a beautiful cake. I can almost taste that rich, chocolate frosting.
    If my name would be drawn, my first choice would be the BOOK.
    But I would also be happy to put the SQUARES into a future project.
    You're so sweet to offer these little gifts in honor of your birthday! Thanks so much.

  21. A belated Happy Birthday. When my children were younger and very much into Tolkien, I had a Hobbit birthday - which meant I had to get gifts for everyone. I was a lot of fun, and a very nice way to celebrate.
