It's a Party! AQQ is Four!

Yes, it is four years since I decided to start Auntie's Quaint Quilts  ... and it would have to be one of the best decisions I've ever made! To be honest, I started it for me as a record of my stitching journey, but along the way I have made so many lovely quilty friends where before I knew very few who really understood my little obsession. Some of you I am privileged to know in 'real-life', while others I ' know' well through your blogs and emails.

A celebration like this calls for some gifts ... one for each year of blogging. To say thank you for reading my posts, leaving encouraging comments and/or becoming followers four of you will win one of the following:

1. A Rose Parade layer cake by Moda.


2. A copy of Scandinavian Stitching by Kasja Wikman.

 
3. A Kiss Me pattern by Fig Tree & Co.

4. A Fresh Cottons charm pack by Fig Tree & Co.


To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment. (I love comments but only one per person, please) Maybe you could tell me where you are from, how you found my blog or what you like to see/read on quilty blogs. Not compulsory but interesting for me to know. The first name drawn will win prize 1, second prize 2 etc. Overseas readers are welcome to enter ... I will post internationally.

Entries close at midnight (Penguin time) on Wednesday 4th January. Good luck to all.

  2. Congratulations on 4 years! I am highly obsessed too, in fact, I think I may need professional help :) I am from New Mexico and have been quilting for close to 20 years but very seriously for about 10.

  3. Happy Blogiversary Christine! I had a bit of a giggle when I read "Penguin Time". I know where it is and I have been there and knew exactly what you meant - it just must have been the way I was reading it.

Your blog is one of the most interesting and inspiring blogs around, just between you and me it is my favourite.... even if we have the same taste in dogs and cats and your fabric choices are similar to mine, I love what you do with those fabrics and the pics of Oliver and Molly are always so sweet.... and then it was your lovely blog that got me motivated to start my own and I still have a lot of work to catch up to yours.... so congrats again, happy stitching, Sheryl.
    P.S. I can't remember how I found you... but I'm glad I did... :)

  40. First of all, congrats on your anniversary!!

    My name is Debora. I am from Madrid, Spain and I have been following you for a while now. I am more into cross stitching, but a couple of years ago I started to try to play with fabrics and do some quilting and I guess that's how I found your blog, which I love. You are welcome in my blog whenever you want. It's in Spanish but pictures talk by themselves.

    Thanks for the change and good luck to everyone,

I have recently been thinking about starting my own blog but have not plucked up the courage to as yet! I do love lots of things about reading your blog.. It is so inviting, the colours, your beautiful projects and pictures.. Maybe you are the inspiration I need!... Congratulations on all your hard work!
