Give Away to Mark Post # 250!!

Well, here it is!! I am fast approaching this rather large milestone and I have created a special Collaged Heart Quiltie to commemorate the occassion! All that you need to do to be entered in the drawing is leave me a comment and , if you ahve a blog, mention this giveaway in your next post. On Saturday February 15th, we will use the computer generated number picker thing to pick the winner!! I am choosing February 15 because spreading love gratitude affection and appreciation should NOT be limited to one arbitrary day and it is purely a coincidence that my 250th post should fall so close to Valentines. I also did not want this little event to get lost in the shuffle of the large One World One Heart giveaway that ends on the 12th.

This quiltie is approximately 5 inches wide and 6.5 inches long. the definition trapped behind the beaded lace reads "keepsake".

Below is a detail shot!!

So leave me a comment and we will see who the winner is!!! Thank you all so much for all of your wonderful comments, advice and support !!

Big Hugs!

Elizabeth

p.s. iIwill also soon be adding several Heart Quilties to my Etsy shop!!

    Oh, Elizabeth!
    This puffy heart is as precious as the one I have already from you! What are the chances that the computer will generate "1" for its random selection?
    I'd LOVE to have two hearts by you. I tend to do many things in pairs :)

    I began my comment by writing 'Oh Elizabeth' and then saw that Cathy W had done the same thing! But that is just how that lovely heart strikes its viewers: "Oh Elizabeth"!!!!

    So I hope that I am for once a lucky winner.....I buy lottery tix every week and NEVER win!!!
