I guess after a 1,00o you would.…….LOL…….. anyway, lets have a giveaway…….please make a comment on my 1,000th post and you will go in the draw for  ?????……!!!!!!!!……..???????, I will come up with a nice little something or other…..thanks  so much to everyone out there, who stops by for a visit….If you leave a comment I love reading them,  and if you just pop in for a bit of a read I like that as well, I need to thank that whacky lady who actually got me involved or should I say hooked on this thing called blogging I know you all know her, yep that’s her “Chookyblue”……..  (mwah to you Chooky have a wonderful weekend at Kerry’s)…..…..but today if you want to win……???????……!!!!!! …..you need to make a comment on this post………….(anonymous makes it very hard if you are a winner, so please, leave your name/email address as well) …..

    ReplyDelete
  52. 1000 posts!!! Oh Peg! LOL! And you always have something beautiful to show, how DO you do it! I love this little quilt, love the quilting you did on the borders - when I saw your title, I thought oh my, 1000 finishes, lol! Congrats on reaching such a respectable number!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Your mini quilt is so adorable! And the quilting on the borders couldn't possibly be any better, could it!! I am jealous as I have wanted to use my pounce and do a more detailed border but, alas, I chicken out each time and then I wish I had tried it--so on my next quilt I think I will have to dive in,cuz I know I will need lots of practice. I wish I could multi task as well as you. I'm behind in my projects and in blogging for sure and I only work part time and sew part time so not sure where all my time does go...well maybe a bit of time is spent with 3 cute as could be grandbabies!!
    Anyway--love your blog and all your posts!! and your embroidery!
    Karen

  54. Your quilt is lovely- and I love the fact that you are playing with your pounce too!! Happy 1000 Posts! I wonder how many quilts/projects that equals???

  55. Hi Peg, Congratulations on your 1000th post. I'm one of those people who visit your blog regularly, because it is so inspiring and beautiful. I LOVE everything you do and I wonder how you get to do so much. You must be very organised and also a fast stitcher. You never fail to impress me with something new to show practically every day (I miss it when you don't post for a day or two). I don't normally leave a comment as I'm never sure what to say, but I want you to continue for at least another 1000 posts because I visit you every day.
