Giveaway - Two Years in Blogland

As today I celebrate two years in blogland AND nearly two hundred posts (this is number 198) it must be time for a little giveaway (or two!)
I had grand intentions of making something new especially for this occasion but it hasn't happened! However, I am offering this tablerunner I made earlier this year from Porcelain fabric which has sat unused and a bit sad in a cupboard until now. I'm sure it would be much happier seeing the light of day in a new and appreciative home! The pattern is one of my favourites by Heather Mulder Peterson ... Crossroads Tablerunner.


It a lot lighter than these pictures suggest. The sashing is actually white!

This is the fabric I used on the back ... once again, believe it or not, it has a white background.

 

As it's a double celebration, I'm also offering 6 fat quarters of Cottage Charm fabric and a pair of pink stork scissors. There's a bit of a pattern emerging here as this fabric line is designed by none other than Heather Mulder Peterson! Her blog, Trends and Traditions is one of my favourites ... always lovely patterns and fabrics to see. If there are 100 or more entries I will give away an additional 6 fat quarters of this lovely range.



To enter all you have to do is leave a comment on THIS post making sure I can contact you if you are a winner. That's all ... nice and easy, for me and you! I will leave the contest open until Tuesday 5th January at midnight (Penguin time!) and do a random draw on Wednesday morning. Overseas people are welcome to enter ... I am happy to post anywhere!


Thank you to everyone who has visited Aunties Quaint Quilts over the last two years. Your kind words and encouragement continually motivate me to keep creating. Molly and Oliver also say thank you for the nice messages they often receive too.
