  1. Oh no...the first comment NEVER wins!!

    I picked the post with my grankids photos with their Christmas quilts last year. With all the toys they got, it was nice to see them at the end of the day all snuggled down with the quilts that grandma made them....

  2. I picked a post about my daughter coming home from college for a vist. The best part was that Mark Lipinski commented! Go figure.

  5. I liked this post because I was able to spend a lot of time with my husband and I learned how to change my own brakes!!

  6. My favorite post is about a baby quilt that has been handed down through the generations. Shows how valuable quilts can be.

  10. Oh, gosh...I didn't DO the link thing correctly. I wanted to paste THIS link there http://alittleofthisandalittleofpat.blogspot.com/2009/05/wild-horses-couldnt-drag-me-awayisnt.html

    It is a post about when we took the youngest granddaughter to see the wild horses at Assateague. BUT...I couldn't figure out how to DO it. I hope this doesn't rule me out for this part of the giveaway. I am having a BAD day.....sewing machine (not even a year old) broke for the SECOND time in less than a year. Roof leaked last night where the repairs are in progress. I'm sorry for not doing the link correctly. Any chance you can FIX it to include what I just put above???

  11. What a great idea and love the "Block Party" that you have created!

    I picked the post about the memorial to my mom...it meant the most to me.

    Thanks again,

    Hugs,

  12. Woo hoo, I did it. I have never copy and pasted before. I chose the one when I was first learning to make quilt blocks.

  13. My favorite post is the one on June 21, Father's Day about my dear Dad. Oh how I miss him!

  14. What a fun idea! My favorite post was where I was awaiting for my daughter, son and law and my two grandchildren, ages 2 and 4 to arrive from Utah (I live in Florida). I worked so hard to make everything perfect.....and 3 more married children were arriving throughout the week. If you go to the previous post, you would see all the things I made for my grandaughter's 2nd birthday....I recently moved to Florida, so haven't really established too many friends yet and have way too much time on my hands for sewing and quilting!

  15. I chose this post because it is one that I was able to sing praises to the Lord. My 1st time doing a video(sorry no picture). Also first time I've sung for anyone but family since I was a child.
    Thank you Mel for a lovely party.

  18. Oh Mel, this is so fun reading everyone's comments.
    I gotta say my favourite in a while was Hoot... not a real life thing, but a fun fiddly softie.
    I still enjoy looking at him now :D

    I see your owl on this post too.
    Great minds...lol
    hugs to you Mel,

  19. I posted my son's 8th grade graduation picture. Was a very happy day for us....now he's off to high school. Of course, my other favorite post was of pictures of my daughter playing softball for her high school team last spring. And, all my crafty posts make me happy, too!

  20. Aw, aw. awwwieeee, it's a lovely giveaway!!!. Well, my post's about the first really "big" quilt I ever made. It's an easy thing to do, but I just love the colours and the way it turned, I'm also a kind of new quilter and I'm really proud of it, ( also, I got 4 comments for it, lol).

  23. I posted about winning a prize on a blog. The gal said I made her laugh so hard and that makes me smile....having made someone laugh. We all need a little laughter in our lives.

  24. I chose my 'star tutorial'...at the
    time it was a great challenge to me to write an easy to understand
    tutorial that everyone was asking me to do...after I finally gave into it and did it....it wasn't as
    bad as I thought it would be!!
