Time for a Giveaway...

Update: This giveaway is now closed.

A Quilter's Blog Hop Party Give-away!!
Quilting Gallery is hosting a blog hop giveaway to celebrate St. Patricks Day.

Click HERE  to check out all the other wonderful bloggers who are participating in this giveaway (The list of participants will be posted by Saturday, March 17).


I'll be giving away a Mug Rug and 5 (18x21) fat quarters in a bundle. I'll ship internationally, so everyone is welcome to enter. The giveaway will close on Friday, March 23 at 11:59pm (U.S.-EST). On Saturday, March 24th I will use the Random Number Generator to choose a winner and announce the winner.

5- 18x21 pieces


This is the fabric inside of the bundle.


The Mug Rug I made just for this giveaway.

Now...here's how you enter:
You have 2 chances to win, PLEASE leave a separate comment for each entry on this post. You don't have to do both things to win, you have the option to do one or the other. However, if you do both your odds of winning are higher. It's up to you. :)
  • 1st chance: Leave a comment telling me if you celebrate St. Patricks day and if you do, how do you celebrate it?
  • 2nd chance: Follow my blog or tell me that you're already a follower. Leave a comment telling me please.
Remember:  If you're a "no-reply blogger" please leave your e-mail address within the comment(s) so I can contact you if you're the winner.


This is so much fun, good luck!

Have fun blog hopping,
Dara

    Guess What? I am baking corn beef and then later I will cook vegetables and cabbage in a big pot on the stove. Right now it is snowing. The Blog Hop Party will have my full undivided attention right now. Guess my dear husband and myself will stay home and enjoy St. Patrick's Day at home where it is safe and warm. By the way, do you have green on today?

    We don't really celebrate St. Patrick's Day (not our heritage), but it's fun to see everyone wearing green! Thanks for the chance to win!

    My comments are not posting as they should -- here goes attempt four. Our St. Patrick's Day tradition is dinner at home of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and onions. My mother made Irish soda bread with currants as well. Thanks for the giveaway from Florida, USA.

    Oh my gosh, those fabrics are adorable. Wonderful giveaway and your mug rug is too cute. Great job.

    Yes, we celebrate St Patrick's Day but we do it much more quietly than others because we don't hit the bars at all. I really do think I must have one green beer someday though. I have never had one yet but, of course the fact I don't really like beer is part of that reason but I feel left out. LOL Anyway, I make a huge corned beef and cabbage meal and this year two of our 4 boys were here as well as one of their fiancee's and our new Granddaughter who is now 5 weeks old. It was a great day. We had bought our Granddaughter the most adorable Shamrock shaped bib that said 'My 1st St Patrick's day' for her to wear too.

    Thank you for the wonderful prizes.
