Happy Ten Year Anniversary!

10years

**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:

 20150604_204647

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:

20150604_204823

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!

20150604_204902

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!

20150604_205013

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:

20150604_205131

A gift pack from Colonial Needle and Presencia Threads!

20150604_205204

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!

Cngrats on Blogging for 10 years! I've only been following for a about 3 or 4 years and have enjoyed your mystery quilts and all the tips you share with us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Terri in BC said...

My favourite moment was when I discovered quilting blogs, and yours was the first one I fell in love with (about 5 years ago). I spent 3 days reading all your posts from the beginning, and read you daily now. Love your mysteries and have done 4 of them now. Keep up the fantastic work and don't burn out, okay?

Jennifer Kinney said...

Happy Tenth Anniversary! Sorry to say I haven't followed you for all those years but It's probably been about half that time. There really is no way to pick one favorite thing but I can list some: your Quilt Cam, your mystery quilt follow alongs, patterns, tips, and just how you have brought so many quilters together. I live vicariously through you when you take your trips, too! Love seeing all the pictures and gearing the stories. Thank you for all you do and I hope for another amazing ten years plus!

I have followed Quiltville on FB for about 3 yrs. Then October 2014 I saw the post on Quiltville about your mystery quilt, Grand Illusion. I followed for months there, and saw your blogs and read them. I have seen how hard you work, and how much you give of yourself and your talent. I think you are very creative, and imaginative, I think you are very much a giver, not a taker. Thank you so much. BUT... Please make sure you take time for yourself. I have read about your vision issue, and how much strain the sewing puts on your eyes. If you do not take time for yourself, you may wish you had.
Thanks again.
Rochelle

Congratulations, Bonnie, for your 10 years of hard work and generosity. When I first found your site I was amazed at all the free patterns you made available.

Thank you, Bonnie ! I would love to win this. You are my hero,I wish I had your time and energy to quilt everyday. Between watching my grandchildren and a chronic illness, I don't get to sew as often as I would like. I have recently been bitten by the hexie bug so I can do that about anytime or anywhere. It helps a lot when I'm to tired to do anything else. Hexies calm the soul. They give me something else to think about at Doctors appointments. I'm loving your recent hexie quilt. I read your blog everyday. After I started reading it 5 years ago, I went back and read all the prior posts. So I feel you are an old friend to me. At our house your known as the quilt lady, because when quilt cam is on the kids says, don't bother mom she's watching the quilt lady. Lol!
Congradulations on your 10th anniversary ! And I am looking forward to the twentieth.

I have only been watching you for a couple months but you have been to our guild. Lake Gaston Piecemakers and we did the pineapple blossom.

Hi Bonnie! Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary. I began reading your blog when you posted the Grand Illusion mystery quilt which I finished in January. By that time, I was hooked your on blog and now I read every blog you post. Thanks for the opportunity to win the magazine and the sewing case.

Happy 10th Anniversary Bonnie, congratulations and thank-you so much for doing what you do and teaching all of us quilt lovers along the way. Love all the information you so willingly share with us and all the inspiration, I never liked scrap quilts till I started following you, and know I've made 2 and working on 2 more using your Leaders Enders technique.

Goodness Bonnie, how can I pick one moment out of ten years. It is all of it, the sewing and scrap busting tips, being included in your trips through your posts and photos, the quiltcams where we get to sew with you and see a glimpse into your space, your scrap storing tips, your highs and your lows, your continual perpetual motion forward, seeing Mona go from just a neighbour to a fellow quilter. Take your pick Bonnie, there are very special moments in all of it. Thank you so much for sharing with us and including us in all in your journey.
Cheers Bonnie and thanks again for giving us the opportunity to highlight the things that you do for all of us.

Hi Bonnie,

Congatulations with your 10th anniversary. I love to read your blog, especially when you are travelling. Two years ago I went to Ireland for the quiltfestival in Galway, my husband and I had a short holiday there. You were there too and I really loved reading your adventures there, visiting the same places as we did.
I hope you will be blogging for many more years, inspiring all of us.

Congratulations on your 10th anniversary. Boy, doesn't time fly!! I have learned so much from you - way beyond quilting (crockpot, driving, travel,...). You taught me that scraps are good and having/keeping lots of them does not make me a bad person. I have made 5 of your quilts. My favorite blog moment was your shirt deconstruction as performance art. I hope I win the giveaway (stitchernow@gmail.com)

Ameswf said...

Dear Bonnie, 10 years and you have given the quilting community so much. I've followed you for 8 and have fully implemented your scrap users system, and have studied your free patterns. Going on the 8/13 Alaska cruise with you was a highlight of my quilting journey to date. I recently sent you a pic of my Alaska crystals top. Have not seen any in the Gallery.

So, thank you for your generosity, inspiration and encouragement. Awlong@msn.com

Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Ten years is really a long time! I've been following you ever since I started quilting. I also went back and read every one of your previous post!

Congratulations on 10 years of blogging. I have been reading it faithfully for about 6 years and feel like you are a friend. There are many favorite blogs but I think my most favorite are from April 2013 when you visited my guild, Wings Falls Quilters Guild in Glens Falls, NY and you wrote about our adventures with you. Thank you for all you do for quilters everywhere!

Congratulations on 10 years. I only discovered you about 3 years ago after I retired. But I have loved getting to know you through your blog.I have always liked scrappy quilts. Your idea of "if it is ugly it is not cut small enough" and "make quilts to be used" really got me thinking that it's OK to just do my best and get them made. There are many more Bonnie quilts in my future. Thanks for all you do!!

Actually my favorite post was when you recently went to Walmart's for glasses and found the travel bag and immediately realized how you would use it that had nothing to do with what it was adv for. lol

Bonnie, wow ten years so much has gone on in ten years. You make us all feel like family you share your life, your knowledge your passion with people all over the globe and that's not an exaggeration. You have single handedly joined people from all over with a Common Thread, Quilting. You make us laugh, think and learn. You have taken us along on your journey's. We think of Sadie and her new friend Beanie. You probably only imagine our Ah ha moment's but think of the quilter Mona has become and multiply that by all your fans and that should give you a great feeling of pride and keep you doing what you do another 10 years easy. Thank you Bonnie Hunter. Joanne W. jwoodnc1@gmail.com

Happy 10th Anniversary :) My favorite moment was when I came across your blog for the first time and was addicted from then on! I don't remember exactly when but it was towards the end of the Celtic Solstice mystery and I was awestruck with how beautiful a scrappy quilt could be. Thank you Bonnie!

Congratulations on your 10 year blogging anniversary.! Thank you for generously sharing all your knowledge, experience and travels with us. Most memorable is all the pictures,history and information you share about the areas you visit here in the United States and all around the world. I especially remember your time in Bali where you woke up early every morning to enjoy the sunrise. I enjoyed seeing how batik fabric is made and I remember all the monkeys. Blogging takes a lot of time. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to blog for us! Please don't stop!

Congratulation for 10 years. My faverite part is all the little tidbits of information you pass on to help us sew better and make a project easier. The little things like what part to sew first or skip the pressing until you join the rows. Thanks again for all you do especially quilt cam.

Congratulations, Bonnie on your 10 wonderful years of blogging. You are so amazing! I use your scrap saver system. You are such an inspiration to me. 3 years ago this month, I had been severely injured in an auto accident. I was not able to do any sewing or quilting during my hospitalization and stay in rehab but I was able to follow your blog. You helped me get through my my ordeal. I don't know what I would have done without you. Thank you so very much!

Thank you, Bonnie, for these ten years. I used to be drawn to perfectly pieced patterns with pre-planned fabrics. Now all I want to do is make scrappy modern quilts because of your influence. You are a fabulous inspiration and I enjoy sewing with you on quilt cam. My favorite moment reading your blog was when I discovered Leaders and Enders; a huge light bulb started blinking! Thanks again!

I've been a fan of yours since you taught two days of workshops for our Smoky Mountain Quilters Guild of Franklin, North Carolina. I enjoy reading your emails every day, and marvel at your energy! The cabin in the woods is the answer to your self-revival each time you go there! I look forward to seeing you at our Guild in 2016, I think. "Quiltmaker" is one magazine I recommend to beginner quilters, and I look forward to reading your articles, patterns, etc. I have a notebook housing your latest Mystery Quilt. My daughter also bought the fabrics for her quilt because we enjoyed the colors and picking from paint chips. Rosalie Nieznalski, .
