6th Blogiversary Giveaway!

*This giveaway is now closed. Yvonne is the winner and she has been contacted! Thank you!!*

I can't believe it! I've been blogging at Quilty Habit for six years. SIX. Whaaaaaat.

 Most of my mini quilts from this year. Top left - Saturated Rainbow, bottom left - Starburst, middle - What (Aaron) Burr Said, top right - In The Wind, bottom right - Curvy Diamonds.

This blog is still my home base, and I hope it will be for a long time to come (even though I'm on Instagram and Facebook, too - it's different). I love tracking my makes, discussing WIPS, sharing educational articles, developing quilt-a-longs, and writing tutorials.  

Most of all, I love the community that has developed around this blog. I most enjoy emailing with readers. You all have the best advice and encouragement. Feel free to join the Quilty Habit Facebook group to get in on the last few weeks of the Star Light, Star Dark Quilt-A-Long. I'm working on some new challenges for the group, too. Thank you for teaching me so much about quilting and friendship over these past 6 years!

I'm offering a custom-made mini quilt to one Quilty Habit reader, as I have in previous years. You'll see some of my recent minis above. If you want more inspiration, you can see more of my mini quilts here. The one below, Sunshine, is an original quilt made for last year's blogiversary winner, Rina, based on her likes and my signature orange peels.

Details: The mini quilt can be any size up to 20". I'll send it by March 2017 (possibly sooner than later!). This giveaway is open internationally. You cannot win if you've already won a handmade blogiversary giveaway. The giveaway will close on Thursday, 9/22 at 7 am EST when I choose a winner by Random Number Generator. I will email the winner (so make sure you leave your email if it isn't linked to your account).

To enter 

• Leave me a comment to tell me one way you follow (Bloglovin, Feedly, Google Plus, email, Wonky Press subscriber, Instagram, and the list goes on). This special giveaway is only for followers -  you can be a brand new follower too, of course!

• For another chance, leave a second comment about what kind of mini quilt you would want (Improvisation? Curves? Quilt-as-you-go? A certain pattern? Quilter's [my] choice? Dense or not-dense quilting? Which colors?). If you enter, please give it some thought. :) I won't make an exact replica of something; I prefer to make something original for the winner.

You can answer any or all of the questions - I can't wait to read about it (also, if you win, I will double check to make sure of what you'd like). Please understand that I always respond to blog comments but I seldom do for giveaways; it becomes overwhelming. I'll try my best, though!


And guess what? The Wonky Press (the original free modern quilting newsletter!) turns 1 next month, and you'd better believe they'll be another giveaway for WP subscribers only. Just a heads up! :) P.S. If you subscribe, a new issue should be sitting in your inbox!

Finally made a little blog logo quilt this year!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, friends. You make the online world a wonderful place to be.
