Blogiversary prizes

If you have been following my blog this past week, you know that I will have my first Blog anniversary/blogiversary on Friday July 4. I asked what you would like for prizes and I'm sorry to say I can't do the round trip ticket to visit my studio. But I said to suggest anything, however wild.

I have 6 giveaways. You can enter your name for ONE of them. This gives you a better chance of winning, with fewer names on each item. Leave me a comment on this post or email me directly with your (one) choice that you would like to win. Be sure to identify yourself in some manner if you don't have a link to a blog or website. This can be just initials and the state you are from if you want.

I will take entries until midnight July 4th, Central Standard Time in the US. Then I will use the Random Number Generator to pick the winner for each item. I will post the winners in the morning on July 5th. Then you will need to let me know your mailing address so I can send your prize to you.

Since I am sending so many things, I have put together smaller groups of scraps than I originally planned. I want to be able to mail everything out in Tyvek type envelopes to save on shipping costs. You can see from the pictures below that there is a good variety in each of the scrap piles.


This postcard (above) is not mailable as a post card so I consider it post card art. The back is red and has my signature and the year on it.


Please either comment on this post or send me an email with the number of the item you would like to win. Click on the pictures for a closer view.

(I absolutely and have always adored #1 and I could certainly add the #5 scraps to my stash; but if my name is chosen for #2, I'd like to donate the tiny quilt to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (with your permission, of course) since it is the PERFECT size to become a Priority Quilt. (funding research and raising awareness through art ~ one quilt at a time)

You are amazing to share so many giveaways ~ and so much of your beautiful work with all of us. Hearty congratulations on the upcoming blogging milestone!!!

Hi Wanda,
What a nice thing to do to celebrate your blog-anniversary. I come often to see your beautiful quilts and be inspired. Your colors are all so rich.
My choice would be the reproduction fabrics #4 even though I love the batiks. I don't have any repro fabrics in my stash. Perhaps I will be a lucky winner... If not someone else will be indeed be fortunate to win your lovely bits and pieces of fabric.
I wish you continued success with your blog. It is always interesting to come and visit.
Regards from a Western Canadian Quilter,
Anna

TB said...

Hmmm, changing my mind...#1 would be my choice. This is exciting!

SueR said...

Narelle said...

You're so generous! Adding to my stash is very tempting, but a piece of your art on my wall is more tempting. So #1 please.

Thanks, my fingers are crossed.

Anonymous said...

I suppose I will go in the cattegory of not leaving a comment. I do try to read your blog everyday even though I do not have one of my own.

I read very few blogs, but love the color and style of yours. So while I leave my first comment I will also say thank you for sharing your gift with us.

I have to put in for #5, the batik scraps. CM in Mac Oregon.

Pat said...

Oh, my...goodness.....impossible to make a choice. SO....I did MY version of a "random" number generator and put the prize #'s in a hat.....and #1 came out! (I'd be thrilled with ANY of them, of course, but since we had to choose just 1, that's the number that popped out of the hat and into my hand!)
