**NOTE!** This Giveaway is now CLOSED! Congrats to our lucky winner!
I can’t believe that I have been blogging here at Quiltville’s Quips & Snips for TEN YEARS!!
Where does the time go? Isn’t life amazing?
And it’s been really fun to go through the archives and see just where we have come and what wonderful things have happened over the past decade.
It’s been a wild journey – and I am eager to see how the next 10 pan out!
To celebrate—I’m having a little giveaway! Look what just came out:
The July/August 2015 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine!
Doesn’t the quilt on the cover look Summer-licious??
Inside this issue you will find several variations on log cabin designs –here are a couple of my favorites:
Clam shells!
They look curved, but different widths of strips will give you this round effect…and you know how I love blue and white!
Check out this lovely! I love the woven appearance!
My own Addicted to Scraps column also deals with the Log Cabin block this month –I just love log cabins, and they are perfect for scrappy quilting too!
I love the sparkle of the half square triangle in the centers!
I plan on doing these in rainbow colors….such a great scrap buster!
So this is what we are going to do. Leave me a comment in the comments section below. Our lucky winner will win not only a signed copy of Quiltmaker Magazine from me..but I am throwing in a special anniversary celebration surprise:
A gift pack from Colonial Needle and Presencia Threads!
Look at all of the yummy goodies in here!
Remember, you MUST leave your email address visible in your comment to be eligible to be drawn. Especially if you are signed in as anonymous. Also – if you are a google+ user or if your profile for blogger is google+. It won’t show your email address, and I need your email to be able to draw our winner.
If you would, please leave your favorite moment with me over the past 10 years in your comment! What have you loved about this blog? Celebrate with me!
I will draw our winner upon my return home from New York and Pennsylvania next Wednesday!
Good luck everyone! My flight is about to board and it is time to put this lap top away and get ready for some mile high hexie time!

Happy Blogerversary Bonnie! I just came across your blog when I asked about the binding in Google+ and I just fell in LOVE. I saw a couple of your quilt cam during breakfast (it's morning in India that time) and hubby said I'm no better then my kids (eating and watching TV) haha. Your blog is full of inspiration. I wish I found your blog earlier when I started learning to quilt. Anyway, looking forward for more quilt cam ..and keep my fingers crossed for the mags and that lovely case. Happy Journey. (my email : chezvies@gmail.com)
Congratulations! Thank you for all the inspiration! I just knew there was a reason I couldn't bring myself to throw away my scraps! 😊

Wow! It's hard to narrow it down to my favorite. I have loved watching Quilt Cam, sharing in your finding and buying Quilt Villa, working on your Mystery Qults and have even managed to attend a live workshop with you. That' much too hard to narrow down! Congratulations on 10 years of your great blog!!
Happy anniversary! Thanks for the chance to win. My favorite moments are mystery time, with the anticipation of the new clues each week. But then I also love just regular old time. If I'm feeling blah, or just need a boost to get my quilting mojo going again, I can always count on you to get me going. Thanks for all you do!

That Clamshell log cabin is cool! I love that you share so many photos of what you're doing and what everyone else is doing. Have a safe trip and a great weekend.
My Favorite Moment, of course, has to be when I met you in Portland in 2013. You made HST's and 4-patches more fun for me. I finally learned to spin the center on the 4-patches. You are a great teacher and I have learned so much from following you on the BLOG and on FB and IG. Thanks for giving so much to all of us Quilters! Happy 10 Year Anniversary!!!
pmcrowther@yahoo.com
Congratulations on 10 years! Thank you for all the inspiration and tips. I am amazed how you make the ugliest fabric turn into the most beautiful quilts. Love those scrappy quilts :-)
I recently returned to quilting after a 15 year absence ( stopped when my son was born) and I have learned so much from reading your blog and watching quilt cam. Leaders and enders, vintage machines, scrap savers system, webbing a top the list goes on and on.
Congratulations on 10 years! I enjoy reading your blog each day. Lots of great information...too much to pick a favorite!!
I think my favorite moment on your blog was finding you...I don't really remember when, but immediately you were bookmarked and now everyday with our fail and sometimes several times a day I am checking in... You have made my "quilting" life bliss. Thank you for all you have done for us. Happy Anniversary!
The one thing I have discovered and loved about this blog is all the energy you have, Bonnie! You are so inspiring, and I love how you still have the energy to check in with all of us, keeping us up to date on your travels and quilting. I can't tell you how much of your energy is contagious. Your schedule is mind-boggling,and your give-aways are so generous. Thank you!

Thank you for all your wonderful sharing of Quiltville. I have only followed you for a year, and began quilting shortly before that. I have learned so much. Was not ready to do your mystery, but this winter I am ready to do it! Can't wait. Congrats on 10 years! My favorite part is your quilt cam archives while I am at the machine. If I can watch you I feel like something is missing. More, More! LOL

Favorite moment? It's hard to pick just one because I love all that you share.

I am guessing that yours id's the first blog I ever read! I don't have a favorite post because I love them all! Thank you for all your work and everything you share with us.

Now I travel vicariously via your blog postings with you on your wonderful trips all over the world. i am using leaders and enders every time I sew and can't get over how many four-patches I made just from one baby quilt project! I also have an Wild & Goosey project in the works. Thanks for your wonderful inspiration to so many.

Happy Anniversary Bonnie! It has been so wonderful to read your adventures and feel like you have taken each of us along each trip with you. Wishing you many many more years of successful blogging, quilting, and positively fabulous moments! The drawing is awesome - I have been wanting to try the threads for some time. Safe journey to NY and back.Quiltedsister541@gmail.com
Congrats - you are so very talented - I love log cabins - can't wait to see the final pics of yours will all the colors of the rainbow - I know it will be spectacular
My favorite moment was finding you! I had been trying to find a blog that I wanted to follow, but most bloggers were posting so inconsistently that it was too much work. I found you in the fall of 2013, right as you were getting ready to release fabric choices for Celtic Solstice. I binged watch the archived quilt cams and was hooked. Thanks for everything, 10 years is a wonderful feat!
Kathi in Gainesville, Virginia
Happy Anniversary. I think my favorite moments are when you share your life, especially the pets. Here's to 10 more!
I "met" you through your blog, but I MET you in person at a workshop! You have inspired me to try so many patterns that I wouldn't normally have tried. And you have inspired me to re-use shirts and other items that are still in good shape. I think my favorite blogging memory was when you posted a picture of my selvage-covered chair in your blog when I was at your workshop in WV! :)
aorlflood@comcast.net
I'm new to quilting, just started a year ago. I'm trying to work up the courage to try one one of your patterns - I'm in love with Celtic Solstice. I'd love to win!
WOW "10" years. Think I found you 5 or so years ago, hope I didn't miss too much. Just love your blog where I have learned soooo much. Thank you for all your hard work and wonderful ideas that you pass along.

Congratulations! Have you seen the movie 'Open Range'? There's a scene where Boss asks Charlie how long they've been riding together, Charlie responds with "'Nigh on ten years" and Boss says "You know what they call that, a decade. Long time". I know I've enjoyed reading about your travels and the inspiration you've given. Lots of favorites over that span of time, but my most favorite moment was discovering your blog when I started the Christmas Lights mystery in Quiltmaker magazine. Made me a life long lover of scrap quilts. They're the best!
Having just retired, my daughter (who had already made a couple of your mystery quilts) talked about the next one about to be started and caught my interest. I have always appreciated the work of quilting, so with her encouragement I jumped in too. In other words, Celtic Solstice was my first quilt! Following the directions and working on it taught me MANY lessons. I greatly appreciate your ability to break down the steps with such clear instructions. Now that I follow your blog, I have learned lots more about your style and lovely spirit. Your scrap system is helping me to keep a handle on my stash as it is growing. The tutorials are wonderful - especially deboning a shirt. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that your blog offers a plethora of valuable instruction as well as fun! Congratulations on 10 years of blogging and may you have many more (from which we all will benefit).
bella.harriger@yahoo.com
Congratulations on 10 wonderful years. I'd like to say my most favorite moment is the annual mystery quilt... but, I also love the stories of the cabin, stories about Sadie and your other critters, stories about your family. You have made us a part of your life and I thank you for the adventures.
Hi Bonnie! Congrats!! 10 years?? WOW time flies Can't wait to see you in January again. The whole crew will be there - plus a few newbie's we have converted !! Please take it easy with all the traveling !!

Your blog is one I read almost every day, just to enjoy seeing what you are working on and to take in your travels. I also am always aghast at the amount of work you pack into your days.
Congratulations, Bonnie! And thanks for including us in the celebration. One moment on your blog I always remember is August 11, 2012 when you were enthralled watching a webcam of a roomful kittens at a rescue center playing and running and climbing, and you wondered, hmmmm....if I had a webcam in my quilting studio, would you watch? Bwahahaha!! The rest is history. Thank you for the chance to win.

Been with you since the start. Doesn't seem like 10 years because I have enjoyed every minute of it. My favorite times are the mystery quilt and Quiltcam. Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragement along the way. Look forward to many more! Congratulations! Jeanne shookje@yahoo.com
CONGRATS !...DO ENJOY
Hi Bonnie, I read your blog every day and watch quilt cam, but my most favorite time was when I got to meet you in person and take classes from you in San Diego in 2014. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Thank you for all that you do for quilters.
Mary. Borermjb@yahoo.com
Congratulations! You took the fear of matching seams and using small pieces away when I became involved in making the mystery quilt. After completing it I feel I can make anything. NO more fears. Thanks for all you do..
jonnieaz@knology.net
Happy Anniversary, Bonnie!
My favorite moment was when I was taking a workshop with you at Mary's Quilt Shop in Bedford, PA. I had brought my $2000 state of the art sewing machine and I couldn't get a true 1/4 inch seam. You politely explained that's why you like older machines.... You can get a more accurate seam. I struggled all day. The next day, I brought a Singer 301 that I paid $10 for at Goodwill and immediately got an accurate seam. HaHa!
I hope you enjoy the day.

Best moment was discovering you named a quilt pattern after a place in my hometown of Cordova, AK. The Orca Bay Quilt! Super proud moment.

I really enjoyed seeing the pictures from England, all the show and share quilts (they are inspirational), and, of course, Sadie. Happy Anniversary! melissadinsga@yahoo.com
There have been many favorite quilt moments: when I'm quilting with friends, when I finish a quilt I really like, and also when I see a gifted quilt really loved and appreciated. Congratulations on 10 years! Thanks for the many ideas and patterns you've given us. I really like QuiltCam, too. Sharon brewersd@juno.com
I have yet to catch you live, but have watched almost all of your Quilt Cams. Watching them makes me want to finish my quilt. Love the case and contents would be just the thing to get me started on the hexies. Congratulations on your 10th anniversary.

Congratulations on 10 years...so far! I just found your blog last fall and my favorite thing so far has been the Grand Illusion mystery quilt. I would never have tackled it on my own but with you leading the way week by week I did it. So very glad, too. Thanks also for quilt cam. Feels like I have a friend in my sewing room keeping me company.
Congratulations on 10 years. I have been following you for the past year (maybe year and 1/2). I think my favorite thing about your blog is your travels. I enjoy see your adventures. I will be seeing your presentation in Sacramento. Thanks for all you do. jeannette0322@gmail.com
Thanks for being there for all of us. Appreciate all your hard work! Congrats!

I have "known" you since 2010 and can truly say that "knowing" you has changed how I sew, what I sew with (vintage all the way!!), how I combine fabrics, how I store and cut fabrics....the list goes on and on.

I haven't been quilting for long Bonnie and can only imagine how many ideas, scraps and leader/ender projects that you have worked through in that time. You are a total inspiration. Thank you.
I am so glad to have found your blog last year. You have inspired me to use my scraps and ugly fabrics! Thank you for all you do!
Happy 10 years! In the internet world this is a big fete!
Inspirational ideas in every story.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Thank you for posting about your eyes,it pushed me to make an appointment for Tuesday for my tired over worked eyes,hoping it is just getting older but something has sure changed. Soon as the Dr. gets my eyes tuned up I'll be ready for that Quiltmaker issue.

Congratulations on 10 wonderful years! Hard to pick one favorite, but the concept of leaders|enders, and miraculously having parts of ANOTHER quilt pile up as you're working on the first quilt was LIFE CHANGING! 😄 Thanks for the chance to celebrate with you!

I'm a fairly new joiner to your blog and love it, looking forward to your next 10 years. I love that wherever we are in the world you still share with us

Congratulations on 10 years! I only recently became a Bonnie follower and did my first Mystery Quilt this winter. What fun! I love the blog and I check in daily to see what's happening. I'm also loving using up my scraps. I've even gotten my mom addicted to it! Looking forward to what the future holds. jbivey83@gmail.com
Happy 10th Anniversary! I found your blog four years ago and follow you daily. I love your positive spirit and boundless energy. I love all the new ideas you come up with; scrap quilting does not get old. Thank you. Mary mmresch@yahoo.com
Hi Bonnie -
I love everything; your honesty, quiltcams, free patterns, great intsructions, mysteries, and those pics with such a personal touch! Oh, and Sadie Jane and Emmy Lou.
If I must choose, it would be your Scrap Savers System which has helped me keep things orderly AND use leaders and enders so easily!!
One thing: you always say that L & E's go really fast. I am here to Testify - I prepped quite a few ( more than I thought I'd use in one sitting) and sewed in between HST's for a chevron quilt...during quiltcam...and had to cut more!! Wow!
Thanks for all you do for us. There are many reasons your life is so busy and we all thank you. bamadaviscd at gmail dot com.
Happy 10th Anniversary!! Leaders & Enders has changed my life. Thanks for all the quilty love
Hi, Bonnie!
Lovely giveaway! I would like to be entered; my e-mail is hilllynn@earthlink.net. I've been enjoying your blog for only about two years, but I especially enjoy all the posts that mention your pets, and their contributions to your family and quilting life. Love it when they appear in your photos and the stories you share with us!
Cheers!
Lynn
Happy 10th Anniversary!! I so enjoy reading your blogs every day!!! It was such a pleasure meeting you in person and having dinner with you and a few of the other women from the two workshops in Spokane! I would love to be the winner of the thread and case!
Happy 10 year anniversary. My favorite postings are quilt cam nights. I own a treadle and featherweight because of you and love them both. The grand illusion was my first mystery and I so enjoyed the experience! Than you for sharing your love of sewing! You are inspirational! My dream is to attend one of your classes.

My favorite moment was when I first found your blog in . . . 2006? I've been reading it ever since and have adopted your Scrap Saver System.

Happy Anniversary and what a nice give-away. I've never seen one of these but would love to own it. Thank you and see you in Sacramento, CA in a few weeks
Woo Hoo. 10 fabulous years. Thank you for all you do. My most memorable memory was when I first discovered your blog, specifically the scrap user's system. That post encouraged me to get control of my scraps and yardage so that the quilting could continue easily. I'd love to win the case with the beautiful threads for my own busy bag.

Happy Anniversary Quiltville! Sew many projects and adventures! Thank you for 10 years of inspiration and tips. Here's to many more years of keeping us in stitches!
How exciting! Happy Anniversary!!! It's really hard to choose one favorite moment. My first Quilt-Cam, my first Mystery Quilt, My first time following your blog posts and photos of your European tour, closely followed by Alaska. I love your exciting life and can hardly wait for the next episode! lindapochodzay @ gmail.com
Thank you for taking us on the magic carpet ride that is your life. Highs and lows, successes and (slight) mishaps, and all the warts in between, we love hearing about it. For me, your quilt knowledge and motivation have pushed me to make quilts I never could have imagined. Thank you for always making yourself available to your followers. I would be thrilled to win the signed Quiltmaker mag and the thread 'first-aid' kit containing everything I need in a quilting emergency.

Congratulations Bonnie. I have been following your blog for about 5 years. It's been wonderful to travel with you to places like Germany, Ireland, and Tuscany; places I might never be able to see in person but have visited and seen through your quilters eye. I have learned so much about quilting- techniques and patterns- but I've learned about people, places and, lest we forget, great recipes
as well! So again, congratulations. I look forward to the NEXT 10 years of Quiltville.
Bonnie, yours is the first blog I ever read! Congrats on 10 years. Thanks for your generous and kind sharing - looking forward to many more years!

Happy 10th!!! Thank you for being there!!! You brighten my day and sew with my during the night!!! Lol what else could a friend ask for??!!! Love you to pieces!!! Pinkquilter@ymail.com
I look forward to reading you everyday. A look into your life reminds me of how hard you work. You have up and downs. I love your patterns. On my wish list are Scrappy Bargello, Celtic Solstice, and Easy Street. Looking forward to reading you for another 10 years.
My favorite moment would have to be getting to meet you in person for the first time. I will never forget the feeling that I had when you messaged me to meet you! I really am your number one fan!
Congratulations on 10 years. I have only been watching your blog for 2 years probably, but I think I am more productive in quilting since then. I think seeing what others are doing gets me wanting to do more. I also love seeing the peoples quilts you show and the old ones in the quilt shops. My favorite is probably you teaching your friend Mona how to quilt. You are so enthusiastic about it and encouraging, I am surprised she waited so long to learn. Keep up being awesome. You inspire people every day. Thanks for being you...

Big congratulations on your milestone Bonnie. Of course my most memorable moment is meeting you and your family and touring you around our beautiful Victoria, BC in Fancy Nancy!
Thank you for ten years years' worth of inspiration and fun. Ten years ago is about when I started to quilt, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have stayed with it without you. Here's to the next ten!

Bonnie, been following you for a bit over one year. My favorite posts are any time you are home in North Carolina. I lived there for about 7 years in the late 60's, early 70's. It was heavenly. But, Texas is my home. Thank you for all the encouragement and quilting knowledge you provide. Absolutely love and value all you do. My email is monakeegan@gmail.com.
Well I just found you and your blog, so didn't know about the 10 years, but I congratulate you and now that I have found you, hope you will be around for many more.

Hi Bonnie! I've only been quilting for 3 years, but I've learned most of what I know from you! My favorite thing about your blog is QuiltCam!! And I love being able to follow you on your trips! How fun!! JDonhorses@Live.com
I am new to your blog....I only discovered it a year ago. Thank heavens I did! I love all your quilting tips and ideas. I had not idea how to set on the point and sashing. Your instructions were so clear and easy, I had no problems. I also appreciate your tips on figuring yardage for backs and sashing. Heck, I love everything you write! I can't thank you enough.
Congratulations on 10 years and I look forward to many years more.

What a fun ten years it has been! My favorite moment with you was at your March '15 workshop. She said quilters are like foam insulation, we that up all the space we are given! Love that and remember it frequently when I'm spreading out in my space...
I've been reading you for a lot of those years.... so glad I found your blog
it's always fun to see what/where you are up/off too next. You work so hard, and
we all appreciate all you do for us. Thank you for 10 years and here is to 10 or
20 more! LoL.... you are probably hoping to slow down a bit before then... I know
you wear me out just reading all you do! Thanks again.

Congratulations on 10 years, Bonnie! I do enjoy all of your posts but when you asked I immediately thought of when you posted that you got your cabin in the great smokey mountains. It was a fav of mine because in reading your comments I think I became just as excited as you! I wish that I had a little vacay cabin so each time you post about your cabin I feel like I'm on vacay in a little cabin! Thanks ~

Happy Anniversary! So glad I found you through Free Patterns emails.
My daughter is finishing up Celtic Sunrise for her best friend's wedding, if I were tech savvy and could get the picture of the top off my phone, I'd send it! I told her we'd have to send you a finished picture!
Blessings, hope we have many more decades of Bonnie to inspire us!

What I like best about your blog is that I know you are there every day. bjchaplin@willcountyhealth.org
Knowing you started blogging just when I started having internet in my home is amazing. I had been using the EQ programs and had to have a computer for my embroidery machine. When I found your site it was an awakening for me. I remember the pile of units that hung behind your sewing machine. That was me!!!
XOXOXO Subee
Bonnie, I feel like I must confess. As much as I love all the quilty bits of your blog, I look forward most of all to pictures of Sadie Jane....
