I reached a notable milestone this past week: I’ve been blogging here at From Bolt to Beauty for eight years! Back in 2014, I was less than a year into this hobby and, wanting to connect with other quilters, started posting about my sewing adventures. Would I have thought then that I’d still be writing here in 2022? I’m not sure, but I’m glad I do. Both quilting and sharing about my projects have been rewarding.
To celebrate this little milestone of mine, I’m giving away a fat quarter bundle of Acorn Woods by Wendy Kendall for Dashwood Studio and a PDF of my Pretty in Pluses pattern. This is the same fabric line I used to make my most recent version of Pretty in Pluses!
The bundle includes the pieces pictured below: six fat quarters and a snippet of a seventh fabric.
You have two opportunities to enter to win this fabric: (1) Upload your link to the Beauties Pageant below (just one link, please) and/or (2) leave a comment on this post about whatever you’d like (just one comment, please). Also: If you read my posts through Bloglovin’ or another blog reader, be sure to click through to my original post to comment.
EDIT: The giveaway is closed. The winner of the fabric and pattern is Sandra of Musings of a Menopausal Melon. : )
This giveaway is open internationally through 12:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4) on Wednesday, June 1, 2022. The winner will be notified via email, so if
you’re a no-reply blogger or comment anonymously, please include your
email address in your comment or send it to me at frombolttobeauty (at)
gmail (dot) com.
And perhaps most important, thank you for reading. If it weren’t for you, I would have stopped blogging a long time ago. It’s the interactions I’ve had with you that make it worth my while. Thank you, thank you!
BTW: I won’t be posting next week, so after entering the giveaway, come back on June 3 to read my next post and to learn who won.
Good luck!
