Blog Anniversary and a Give Away

My blog,
Timeless Reflections,
has been my opportunity
to create an online diary.

Nothing earth shattering
or world changing.

Just a glimpse into me

my family,

my passion about quilt making

and life around me.

Writing is not my career,

and, yes,

the only C I ever received 

was in

Freshman Creative Writing at

Western Michigan University.

I appreciate all of you

for taking the time to 

follow along,

and leave a comment or two.

As a thank you,

it's time for a give away!

I have 3 origianal

booklets printed by McKim Studios, I think,  in 1931.

 I'd like to share these with one lucky follower.

These are a treasure with patterns, history

and the cutting edge of quiltmaking.

"The friend who sent us this lovely design to copy

also sent a helpful suggestion as to patterns:

She suggests using blotting paper

instead of cardboard for the cutting units,

as they stay placed so firmly on the cloth.

A wax crayon is excellent with which to trace

around these."

We've come a long way since then.

So leave a comment.

I'll draw the lucky winner next Saturday,

Sept. 1.

Thanks as always.

Just a side bar:

Notice how my hair style really hasn't changed 

since 1956!

I Have A Surprise to Spring On You

When I began blogging

it was a strictly a challenge I put to myself.
Could I find enough topics to write about?

Mostly, I just wanted to see if I could do it.
What my blog has become is a creative outlet and an expression
of the many things I enjoy in life.

It's an account of 

what happens to me,
 my family and friends,

and my love and passion for quiltmaking.

 a few cupcake recipes,

stories of Running Man,

and some photos mixed in.

Surprisingly, that's added up to quite a few stories.

It has been fun sharing all of this with others.

I'm not associated with any companies,

or affiliated with any products

it's just me sharing a few little things each week.

But to my amazement I have written 400 posts.

                     I do appreciate it when a reader or two takes                       

 the time to leave a comment and share your thoughts.

So to thank you
I have a surprise to SPRING on you.

I'd like to share a gift for one lucky reader and blogging friend.
It's my #3 pincushion that I just finished from
my UFO list.

It's perfect for spring...birds, baskets and flowers.

Just leave me a comment, on this post.
Tell me what's your favorite pincushion or share
how many pincushions you have.

If you are a no reply commenter, please leave an email address
so I can contact you if you win.:-)

 My little give away will run

through Saturday, April  21 when I'll draw the
lucky number Sunday morning..

Thanks again for letting me part of your day
and good luck!

 Until Next Time-
