Hop to it . . . {and a little giveaway}

Life seems to be speeding by at a rate of knots, hurtling towards the end of the year, don't you think ?

I'm really trying to pace myself, but at the same time, get through my

 "To Make for Christmas" List too.  

It's do-able, if one just remembers to eat & sit down & breathe occasionally.

But first . . . 

Today I'm joining in the fun at The Quilting Gallery's
 "Thank You" Blog Hop

and taking this opportunity to say a BIG THANKS to all you lovely peeps out there . .  friends, family, followers and fellow bloggers.  You encourage and inspire me.  Thank YOU for taking the time to not only read my bloggy warblings, but also for all your sweet & gracious comments.

You are truly so very kind and much appreciated.

So, to share the joy and express my thanks, how's about a wee giveaway ?

fancy a wee bundle of yumminess ?

In the bundle, there's a charm pack of 40 various pretty Tilda 5" squares, co-ordinated Tilda ribbon, 2 reels of Cath Kidston cotton thread, 2 rolls of ric-rac and a partridge in a pear tree little bag of mini Tilda clothespins.

If you'd like your name popped in the hat for a chance of winning, then all you have to do is leave a little comment below - ensuring to include your name & email contact details if you're a no-reply blogger - sometime before midnight (GMT) next Tuesday, 26 November 2013.  I'll do the lucky draw and announce the winner asap thereafter.

You don't need to be a follower to be included in the giveaway, but if you'd like to then it'd be lovely to have you along on my crafty adventures. 

And on the topic of quilting and adventures - here's a little glimpse of what I'm working on this week: 

. . . a new quilt for a special young someone who's having her boudoir redecorated in shades of purple. 

So far I've cut out all the squares and pieced the rows together, so now the fun bit begins.

It's going to look quite different by the time I'm finished the top, so I promise to show you more once it's done.

I just love all these pretty fabrics though - this sweet birdie one is probably my favourite.   I do hope she likes it, but if she doesn't, I just know that her mama will ; - )

Right, so I'm going to have a little break for lunch now then it's back to sewing for me.

 Enjoy the Blog Hop - the list of other participating blogs should be available via this link from midday EST today.

ps.  Don't forget to enter the giveaway - no matter where in the world you are, so long as Royal Mail gets there, I'll post it : - )
Good luck . . .
