1300! A giveaway and some news....

Oh my goodness!
I just noticed my followers have gone over 1300!
What a gorgeous group of craft lovers you all are, so I'd best do something special for you!!
Leave a comment, just one, on this blog post and you'll go in the draw for this gorgeous new book of designs by Australia's Lynette Anderson!

I'll draw the winner on my birthday, February 21st. :-)
*GIVEAWAY CLOSED*
~~~~~
Thank you to everyone for understanding and supporting my need to 'pull back' from blogging a bit. 
Mr E has decided that it's time I joined him 'outside' in his own favourite pastime, so yesterday he bought me these birthday gifts, and today I am going to christen them...
...on a ride to Mingela for lunch! 
I haven't been on a motorbike since 1999, so this will be the start of some serious fun time with my beloved and a way to spend more time together. I love the pink in my helmet and jacket...I just couldn't have worn any other colour. ;-)
~~~~~
In my quiet times I have begun a new set of simple shabby stitcheries that could be used on just about anything. Another week or so and I will have them to show you, but for now...
 
And I also finished another block in the remake of my original Shabby Roses quilt.
This is the original quilt...
...and my remake is coming along beautifully in Tilda blues...
~~~~~
I got very excited this week when a parcel arrived for me. I had ordered a book from Maree that had been on my to-read list for a while, and was so excited that she was stocking it in her online store!
This will be my constant 'down-time' companion for a while to come. I think I should have been a 50's housewife... ;-)
~~~~~
Princess Sophie continues to make residence 'anywhere'. We have a notion that she is marking her territory for all of us to take note of. 
~~~~~
Only one Show & Tell photo this week.
Susan has finished block 2 of "Give Thanks"...
Susan will be one of many followers who will come to a "Gum Tree Designers Morning Tea in the Park" on March 5th in Brisbane, so we'll get to meet face to face. 
If you'd like to know more about the Gum Tree Designers flying in from all over Australia to Brisbane for our first face-to-face Gathering, have a read HERE
If you can make it we'd love to meet you!!
As we're out of towners we're asking everyone to bring a plate of delish morning tea fare to share.
Hugs
Jenny

I saw that book for the first time at one of our craft stores and I would love to win it. The patterns in it are just great.

Congratulations Jenny on 1300 followers. It's no wonder, I just love your blog, along with everyone else. My hubby keeps asking me when I'm going to hop on the back and go for a ride with him too and I keep holding back!! Good on you... I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. I love the pink in the jacket and helmet too... maybe that could sway me????

It's a honor to be a part of the 1300. Love your work. First time to be a part of a giveaway. Thought I'd try. Thanks

I love all your patterns. Your newest is a perfect present for my sister. She really will enjoy the quick little thoughts to start out her days and the surprise of getting a new one every so often. I plan on sending her the first ones for her birthday in April and new ones as they come from you or our own lives. Please enter me in your drawing for the cats and dogs book.
