The Stashmaster Blog turns 5 years old today! Anybody tenacious enough to go back to my first blog entries will see my main craft focus at that time was knitting, with quilting taking a back seat, but not for long! I actually started quilting in 1993, but didn't have a lot of time to sew after my kids were born and also did not keep very detailed records until 2005 (one of my main reasons for starting a blog - to keep a photographic journal of my projects). Since 2005, I have finished 50 quilting projects (and I know there are a few more small ones not included on my list - mostly tablerunners and swap gifts).
At any rate, what would a decent celebration be without PRESENTS?! Only of course the gifts are for YOU - my much-appreciated blog readers! To thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog and say hello, I am offering the following:
One name drawn will receive 2 layer cakes of the beautiful French General Rouenneries collection. One name drawn will receive 1 layer cake of French General's newest collection coming out in June - Lumiere de Noel. And finally, one name drawn will receive 2 charm packs of the beautiful Eva collection by Basic Grey. Just leave a comment on my blog before 7 a.m. Pacific Time on another notable date in the Stashmaster household - Monday, April 5 - and I will use the Random Number Generator to pick the names of 3 winners.
Thanks to all blog readers, blog lurkers and my fellow bloggers. I enjoy the quilt blogging community more than I can tell you, and I have met many wonderful people that I consider true friends.
Congratulations on your 5 years! I don't know about you, but for me the fabric and the quilting ideas just keep me going. Blogging is such a great way to connect with fellow quilters!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm hopin for those rouenneries layer cakes! I've got plans for them already :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Happy 5 years. =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! It was actually through you that I started "blurking"! I googled the web sampler celebration because I was thinking of doing it and you popped up! I've loved reading your blog and I owe you a big thank you!! So Thank You! I also think I discovered Miss Rosie through you so I owe you a HUGE thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteYea for you. I do enjoy reading your blog. Please don't even THINK of stopping!!
ReplyDeleteI went back and checked....my first comment on your blog was June 22nd, 2009!! Sure seems like I've known you forever! BTW, what happened to 2nd Story?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5 years of blogging!
Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5 years. I'd love to be one of the winners.
ReplyDeleteOne of my very best blogging experiences has been meeting you Lisa! You were one of the very first blogs to capture my attention and were part of the impetus that got me to start my own blog. Happy Fifth Year!!!! It has been wonderful to get to know you and to have such a wonderful person to share my passion in quilting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The lovely gifts your are sharing are much more fun than the traditional wood or modern silverware usually connected with a 5 year anniversary. I'd love to be one of the winners.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on 5 years of blogging!! What an accomplishment, and thanks for your generosity!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Five years, WOW! You sharing is a gift in itself, but I will not turn down a gift of fabric. I have enjoyed your blog and have found a lot of inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talent.
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5 years of such an inspirational blog. I went back and enjoyed some of your earlier posts - my first finished quilt was made with Zanny for Zinnias, too! I used the flannel version, and boy does that quilt get a lot of love.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 5th anniversary! Quite an accomplishment! The techno-challenged among us (that woudl include me!) are very impressed.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 5 years of blogging! That's quite something, I wasn't even aware of blogs 5 years ago. Sometimes I think about starting a blog, but I'm afraid it would be rather boring, I love to quilt but don't have much time for it so I'm not nearly as prolific as most of the quilters who do have blogs. Any way I'm glad there are those like you who get a lot accomplished, very inspiring to me. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog - like checking in with a friend, and catching up on what you have been doing. I've been quilting for years, but not proficient enough at computing to blog yet - congrats on your blogoversary!!

ReplyDeleteCheers!
Wow! 5 years, How time flies. I have a blog but find little time to keep it up dated. I do however spend quite a bit of time following other blogs. I guess I like to read and sew more than I like to write.
