So, I’m sitting here in my old and somewhat cluttered house (uuuum; fabric, thread, batting, projects, quilts, magazines, books…) in a town that most of you probably never heard about before, just doing my thing and writing about it on my laptop. Imagine my delighted surprise when I received a mail from a fellow blogger and reader, the lovely Darlene of SewCalGal, who offered an additional prize for my 1 year anniversary celebration!
Here it is, part 2 of my 1 year anniversary giveaway: 60 delicious pink 5” charm squares donated by Darlene. We all know how the shipping rates are these days, so as she is located in the US, this is open to US readers only.
To enter this giveaway, please leave a (one, uno, une, en) comment to this post and I’ll draw the second lucky winner on the last day of the month, August 31. If you haven’t entered the first part of the giveaway yet, you’ll find it here.
Thank you so much for your generosity and support, Darlene, and good luck to you all.-)
To answer a few questions to yesterday’s post – I majored in finance (feeding my gigantic inner mathematician) and marketing (couldn’t decide on one, so like Winnie the Pooh I took both) in college (now University of Stavanger). I went back to school at the age of 40 and took project management, leadership and group psychology. In my teens I wanted to study genetics and to be a concert pianist, so there are still things to explore when I’m in my 50ies or 60ies – if I ever get tired of quilting…
Sorry, the giveaway is now closed!
Wow, Darlene is so very generous. I would love to be entered in your second drawing. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteVery nice of Darlene to help you celebrate! Thank you both! Piece.....
ReplyDeleteOOO those are pretty little pink charms! Darlene is quite the wonder!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win those little cuties.
Thanks to both you and Darlene for offering the yummy pink fabric for your giveaway. I'd love to be included..........
ReplyDeleteMathematics is my love. My dad made us use math all the time growing up. We used to add the grocery bill on the trip through the storeand the one who came closest won. No prize, just got to say we won. He also loved to show us how geometry influenced us. Concepts were taught over the dinner table. The dreaded word problems had to be answered before food was passed. I loved it and thrived. My sister hated math so it was a little tough on her.
ReplyDeleteMath, genetics, piano???? Wow! It sounds like you could keep going forever.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pink squares. Darlene is always so generous. I have some red ones that would go perfectly with the pink.
Oh Nina, please don't ever get bored with quilting. What would we do without your wonderful, different ideas?
ReplyDeleteNina Lise, you are such a talented and generous person, that I'm delighted to help celebrate your Anniversary with you! And thank you for all you do!

That was very nice of her. I wish shipping weren't so high.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of friends who can't get items that we have and wish I could afford to send them all boxes of goodies.

the fabrics look so pretty, i love pink. thanks for sharing your life story.
ReplyDeleteVery generous! Doesn't everyone just love pink!
ReplyDeleteOooh pink! Love pink. I'm a pink kinda girl!=) Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteThank you and Darlene for this second part of the anniversary celebration. I never quite understood why people think math isn't for girls - my degree is in mathematics and have used it my entire work life and now for quilting/sudoku. I have a great grandniece expected by the end of the year, so all that pink can be put to good use.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice gesture by Darlene! Thank you. And Best Wishes again, Nina Lisa, on your bloggiversary. You are very talented indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary! I don't have very many pink fabrics. Would be great to add to my stash :)

Happy Anniversary! Keep on blogging!
ReplyDeleteCheers.. :)
Congrats. Don't you just love blogging?
ReplyDeleteCongratulation. Pink is lovely. Hugs Jofrid
ReplyDeleteI love the math in quilting. It seems like I never make a pattern just how it's written (bigger blocks, smaller blocks, extra blocks, different blocks) so there is always something to figure. I'm really happy with a tablet of good graph paper, a good (x-fine point) mechanical pencil (with a good eraser), a few straight edges or other drafting templates (e.g., all sizes of circles), and my faithful box of colored pencils!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the pink squares -- have a great-niece/nephew due in Jan and a great-niece who just turned 2 (shame on me -- except my sister (grandma) sews and so Rylee has plenty of quilts and blankies.
Happy Anniversary! Keep on blogging! would love a change to win
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary x 2. :)
