Happy Saturday!! Happy New Year!! Before I write about the 900 Follower Giveaway, I wanted to let you know that several sponsors have joined "The Birthday Club Giveaway" The Fat Quarter Shop has generously donated one $25 gift certificate to be given away each month!! This gift certificate will mail out to one lucky person each month as part of their birthday gift!! There are several other sponsors that are donating items to send out in the gift packs. Their names will be revealed in future posts! I will try to include handmade goodies from me, whenever possible. The survey form is still open on the previous post, so be sure to add your name to be included in the monthly mailings! The January Birthday mailing will go out on Friday, January 20th!!
I started my new job this week! Yay!! It is so much fun to be back at work and selling a product that I am familiar with! The weather this week started out cold with a bit of snow, then quickly warmed up to 50 degrees! It was a bit scary to drive home from work because I didn't know what to expect on the roads. I moved pretty slow and probably made the people behind me mad, but oh well!! My car goes in the shop for a yearly state inspection on Tuesday. (My sister will be taking me back and forth to work on Tuesday)
This giveaway is to celebrate 946 followers!! WOW!! Thank you for following my blog!! 2012 should be a year filled with so many Quilting Adventures for all of us. Hopefully we will get to know each other better and continue on with our friendships as the year progresses. This month's giveaway will have one lucky winner that will receive :

I have made resolutions this year. The biggest being to lose weight for my sister's wedding this fall. (sorry about the odd wording of my previous comment: auto word on my tablet.)
You know what? I think I filled out that survey twice. :-( For the life of me, I couldn't remember if I filled it out before and thought I didn't fill it out. So, I entered my information. Now, I'm beginning to doubt myself. I think I may have entered twice. Please delete one if there is a duplicate. I'm so sorry if there is. :-(

I have not a blog, but I shared u in fb :)
I made 2 resolutions taht are very conected :P One started some weeks ago :P Stop smoking after 23y non stop... I dont even know what is to be a non smoker... its hard, really hard, but its my 29th day free smoking :D 2nd is to go down on weight, its afecting my health, I have went up almost 20kg in the last 4y and I need to loose them again, and even more now as Im all the time eating cause of lack of smoking :P
Wish me luck :D

I'm always working on UFOs.....grin. I plan to finish at least three tops this year, but probably not the quilting.
I'm a follower, of course! Congrats on a great milestone. ;-> Toni Anne
i am one of your 946 followers :) congrats on achieving this astounding number!
I'm not really into resolutions. I hope to do more sewing this year, I'm going to try to schedule more time for what I enjoy. First I need to organize my sewing room. Again congrats on the wonderful milestone! ;-> Toni Anne
at my age, one doesn't necessarily make resolutions [unless it is: Make it Through the Year!] ... i have many project that need finishing; apparently i like to cut up the fabric more than i do sewing seeing that i have 17-20 "kits' made up.
I am a follower.
I have resolved to try to take better care of my health and try to figure out what issues are currently going on so I can take care of my family better.
I'm a follower. Thanks for the chance to win.
One of my resolutions is to keep my sewing room clean!! I'm starting out pretty well, hope I can keep it up.
I am a follower. the panel is gorgeous. make it mine?
I am a follower!
My resolution was to finish what I start!
I am a happy follower:) How awesome to have so many followers!
i have blogged your b-day giveaway! such a nice idea
My goal/resolution is to STRETCH myself this year. It might be to stretch in my reading choices, stretch in my choice of quilting projects, stretch to learn something new, stretch in a difficult relationship... Stretch!
and with no personal blog of my own, i am stuck revealing that I have 2 quilts to finish this month - quilting and binding on one, only binding on the other.
I'm a follower :)
My resolution is to finish a WIP for every new project I start...and I have to finish the new projects before the end of the year.
I am a follower! I get your posts in my rss feed! :) Thanks for the chance to win!
My new years resolutions are no coke until I drink 8 glasses of water. So far so good. I haven't drank 8 glasses of water a day but at least no coke. PS. I really want a coke.... :)
I'm a follower. I'm just going to do the best I can to get done what I can. Our first grandbaby due this July (yeah!!) so that is one project I'm looking forward to!
Wow! This is a fantastic giveaway!! Woot Woot! I am a follower for some time now!!

Happy New Year!
I'm already a follower! Count me in!
I don't usually make resolutions, but I do want to work on about 15 UFOs on my list!
Congratulations! I'm a happy follower. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have 3 UFOs that I plan to finish this year.
Congratulations on 900 followers! I have been a follower of your blog for quite some time. Thanks for the opportunity to win your fabulous giveaway.
Hi Leona, this is one awesome giveaway!
I'm a follower. :)
I also posted this giveaway on my blog. :)
One of the things I plan to do this year, is to take one of my vintage quilt tops and finish it up as a quilt.
I am a happy follower!
No resolutions this year but I hope to get about 9 tops quilted and bound. Most of the tops are already completed.
Yes, I am one of your followers and congratulations for having over 900 followers so far. And of course, thank you for the generous giveaway.
I have blogged about your giveaway and here is the link.

I'm a follower. Congratulations on all your followers.
I want to finish both of my UFO's this year.
Congrats again on the milestones. I am a dedicated follower. I love your blog.
I'm a follower with a little boy who is anxious for me to read him a book. Thanks!
I have a number of UFO's to finish. And my new years resolution was "breathe".
Instead of getting stressed I just need to breathe, take a moment and relax.
I'm a follower and my resolution is to spend more time clearing out the clutter. I really don't want to leave behind so much junk when I'm gone. And i just have way too much stuff(except fabric...one can never have enough!!). I need to learn to throw or give away something for every new thing I bring home.
Congratulations on the rise in your followers number - we know it is because you write a Kool blog. I'm one of those followers.
I'm fairly new following you (like earlier this week).
My resolution this year is illustrated by my word for 2012
H E A L T H
Ah not a real New Year's resolution per se but just to get things back on track. Get some of the projects done. (I have 3 tops to quilt. Yikes.) And more family time.
Acabei de me tornar seguidor.terminar 5 colchas até 1 de março.Parar de fumar ou pelo menos diminuir.renovar carteira de motorista,não estou guiando,ando à pé.Beijos e muito obrigado

I did make a resolution to try to get my life and home more organized-- and one part of that is to get some UFO's completed! Hopefully 12-- that is one per month... and I am off to a good start-- almost completed one! :) Thanks so much for the extra chances to win your awesome prize!
congratulations Leona that's great! I suppose I should fill out the form just in case you forget when my birthday is or I don't drop enough hints on my blog that month ;) LOL...
Such great news about the job!

I am a follower! Thanks for the giveaway chance.
I am hoping to start quilting and finish a quilt that I have already basted and is ready to go- it is sitting in a huge ziplock in my closet. Thanks for the giveaway chance.
Wow, what a great giveaway. Thanks! I'm a follower. Love your blog.
I don't have a blog, but my quilting resolution for this year to make some projects just for me. I do enjoy giving quilts to folks, but sometimes I want something. I want to display lovelies in my home!
WOW Leona over 900 followers and no wonder I love to read your posts.Have followed for a long time.
No New Year resolutions as I always break them. Hmmmmm hope to get at least four quilts finished and many blocks put together.
I'm already a follower :) Thanks!
My "New Year's resolution/motto/whatever" is "breathe, be brave." Thanks again!
I started following you recently, congrats on your increasing fan base! :-)
I made only one resolution-to make a quilt that is just for me, and resist the temptation to give it away. Well, I guess that's two resolutions, isn't it....
It's been posted on my blog, too! 3rd times a charm :)

My NY resolution was to lose weight, finish my son's Harry Potter quilt and participate in a BOM/swap this year as well as learning how to FMQ!
I am a humble follower
My new resolution was to say 'No' to the frivolous things and 'Yes' to the right things.

I don't make resolutions but this year my aim is to get a lot more sewing done!
I am a follower.
I am committing to finishing four UFO quilts this year. That is only a few of many but it is a number I think I can actually complete.
Of course I'm a follower!
No New Year's resolutions! I plan to finish as many UFO's as possible--hopefully at least a few 3-4 (which won't even make a dent in the list). More would be great!

Wow, thanks so much for the give away! I am a follower!
I have about 10 Ufo's I plan to finish this year!
Not exactly New Years resolutions but I promised to myself to be more creative and not to think also the practical side.
nerospostatgmaildotcom
I follow you.
I don't make Resolutions any more because I just do not keep them. I only have a couple of UFO as I haven't been quilting long but whether they get done this year is anyones guess....I am distracted easily by new projects LOL
I'm one of your 946!
My goal is to MAKE some UFO's. I usually don't have any because I work at a snail's pace on the same project for months. I want to try so many new things this year that I have a TON of UFO's to haunt me next year!
I'm a follower! Wow, 900 is impressive!
My new years resolution was to quit smoking, although I havent started stopping yet if you know what I mean!
Congratulations!, that is a great achievement! I am a follower, thank you for teh chance.
My new year resolution is to use as many of my scraps as possible!, I know, quite challenging!.
I am a follower. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
My resolution is to be more organized this year -- with everything including my sewing room!
my word of the year (a resolution alternative) is CHANGE - my health, my practices, and my attitudes.
I'm a follower!
My resolution, hmm.. actually I wanted to some lose weight! That is my yearly resolution :) But, each year I will gained weight. I hope I can make it this year :)
I follow your blog. Thanks for another great giveaway!

I added your giveaway to my blog
I have 25 UFOs to finish this year - just listed those on my blog yesterday...UGH!!!
Calling something a resolution seems to doom it for failure, so I call mine a goal. My goal is to get my house organized -- I've done some small things like my pantry and my desk. I still have some BIG things to do -- like my closet and my sewing room!
no resolutions here, but i will finish 2 wedding quilts....at least. i have MANY UFO's and i will probably start a few more.........lol

I am a new follower! I found your blog through another blogger. I resolve to make as many "quilty" items this year as possible. I will also make quilts to donate to charity for a child.

I did not make a New Year's resolution this year, but I just made four baby quilt tops in the last three days on a local retreat with friends so I think I am off to a pretty good start in 2012!
I love the Birdie fabric! I made a quilt from it a couple years ago and had to give it away, I would love to make another!
Aurifil is my favorite thread too! I don't use anything else if I can help it. The new Atkinson book looks great! I use their patterns a lot.

My resoultion is to try and finish up all the UFO's that have been laying around. I have three all ready to be shipped to a longarm quilter. There are about 5 more quilts from assorted Blocks of the Month, or from classes and workshops that I took at local quilt shops. Also, to "try" to work off my stash of fabric this year, and not buy new (right!).

I don't really make New Year resolutions mainly because I tend to not keep them. But I do try to keep up with my stitching, and I really only have one UFO: The 12 days of Christmas that I started many years ago-I hope to be able to finish that this year and make a nice wall hanging.
Thanks,
