The Big 4-0-0

Well, this is it. My 400th post. I decided to hold off on posting until after the holidays were really over and everything was back to routine. I am so proud of all I have accomplished here. Not just the quilting and sewing, but learning all the things I have learned in order to be a blogger and to try and make my blog a place I love. I hope it is a place you love to visit. I want to inspire you and make you want to return. That is why I read the blogs I read. They inspire me.

I have been very busy getting organized for the new year. I have cleaned the sewing room and made a list of things that need to be finished. I have begun working on those things. I am taking lots of pictures to show you. I have plans and I have goals. But, I also have surgery coming up in 3 weeks. I have no idea how long I will be unable to sew, so I am stocking up on pictures of things I can share with you during that time, because a blog post without pictures is boring, to me.

So here are your pictures for today. This is what I am giving away, to celebrate my 400th post:
                         This lovely bundle of pink fabrics.
      I wanted something special. I wanted something that was meaningful, at least to me.
      This beautiful bundle represents my color of the year, pink, for breast cancer.
    Each fat quarter is absolutely gorgeous. Not a bad one in the whole lot.
I found this lovely bundle here, at Fort Worth Fabric Studio. They put together lots of lovely bundles there. I shop there frequently.
What do you have to do to win this lovely bundle? Simple. You must be a follower of my blog. Only followers, new or old, will be eligible. Second, answer this question: If you could put together a bundle of fat quarters using only one color (plus white or a neutral) what color would you choose? So, let's do this: Leave one comment to answer the question. Leave a second comment for another entry, telling me how you follow my blog. No reply commenters leave your email in your comment or I will not be able to contact you if you win.
I will leave this open for 2 weeks. Winner will be chosen on Monday, January 19 after 5pm eastern. Everyone is eligible no matter where you live, but you must be a follower.
Thanks so much, for stopping by.

Pink is my favorite color, but if I were to choose a single color, I would have to go with either blue or violet. These colors have a greater value range, so it would offer a lot of design possibilities.

Congrats on # 400!! I always look forward to your post and can't wait to see what's in store for the next year. Love the pink bundle! Normally I would say that aqua would be my choice but for the new year I think I would put together a pale green or a peach bundle.

Hi Charlotte! My favorite color is any one that is bright and clear toned. Currently, I seem to be in a green phase, having just left my orange phase :)

As far as colors to pair that pink with, I'd go with acid green. I've always found it a striking color combination.

Michele said...

Oh congrats on the milestone. That is fabulous. I do love that pretty bundle and it is certainly very meaningful for you.

I love pink but green is another of my favorite colors so that is probably what my stack would be.

Right now I've been using Reds and Whites as I've finished Christmas quilts. But I can transition now to Pink and Whites. Especially if I'm lucky enough to win this bundle. Thanks for the giveaway!
