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!

My very first ever blog post was 8/22/08 so I have a few years before I hit 10 but it's still hard to believe it's been nearly 7!! It's a good way to keep a 'diary' of sorts and be able to go back and see where you've been and what you've done. You've been to and done a LOT of different things and have way more to do. I've loved hearing you at guild, taking classes with you, using your fabulous free patterns and everything else Bonnie! Thanks for all you do!

Kathy in WI said...

The best part about your past 10 years are all the wonderful patterns you've shared with us. I also appreciate quilt cam. It's like sewing with a BFF. Happy Anniversary Bonnie. May you have many, many more.

Karen said...

I started on a log cabin project (my first) just this week. :-) It is really hard to pick one favorite thing from your blog, but I do love learning more about vintage machines. Happy Anniversary! krseitz at earthlink dot net

Would love to be a winner! I'm enjoying archived Quiltcams as I stitch away on a string spiderweb. So thanks for all the tips and for keeping me company!

Has it been 10 years already ??????????????????? Oh My! How time flies when we are having so much fun!
My favorite ANYTHING here -- can't do it .. each time I come to your blog I feel like it is Christmas. You always have so much to share with us and all of it is grand. I think though, that I especially love your pictures of antique utility quilts you find in the thrift shops -- they just seem to speak to me plus your own "take" on each one. And of course, ALL your wonderful scrappy patterns and mysteries ...

Time sure fly's bye when your having fun.......I just was going thru my patterns; the other day and came across one that I down loaded from your site; it was a free pattern; I think the date was Aug 2005; and today I received my book & rulers'; that I had ordered from your store; that sure was fast delivery; and I'm in the process of recycling shirts and jeans, for a quilt; would love to receive the magazine; as that is one of the items I've left go when the economy went south; it seems as thou mag subscriptions were a luxury; and the thread assortment would be wonderful to receive....I love to view your quilt gallery and see what others have done;. Thanks for all the information that you share; and I hope your eye site improves; as I struggled with cataracts; (it was amazing on what I could see after three surgery's) esp, the colors; Thanks Jen in northern Wis JenLeeFarm@centurytel.net

I found your website several years ago and have been following you ever since. It was a thrill to see you in person at Rose Hill, Ks. I just found out you would be there a few days before and couldn't find anyone who was free to go. Decided to go by myself and at the last minute, DL said he would go along. He said that was the most quiet he has ever seen a whole room full of hens in his entire life. LOL!!! He sometimes has to work out of town and always asks if you are keeping me company when he's gone as I have moved my computer to the sewing room so I can sew and watch quilt cam and Netflix. He skyped me a few nights ago and I was sewing while we talked and he commented that I am turning into a little version of Bonnie Hunter! I thoroughly enjoy all that you do for the quilting community. Thanks for 10 very entertaining years. Have a safe trip and I'll be looking forward to the next quilt cam Cindy K

I have been a fan of your's since I found you! I have more scraps than anyone else I know, I NEED you and your great ideas. Congratulations for your 10th year!! I have been sharing your blog with a friend who is going to Italy this summer. She isn't a quilter and loves to look at your quilts.

Congrats Bonnie on your 10th they are full of perfect things for every reader and students of your blog and classes

For me I would find it very difficult to point from endless benefit I learn from you as great teacher or from your blog

I love when you sharing your small details which make big diffidence in our lives and open eyes to hidden corners of our lives like 5 min power purge
I love your work in general, patterns addiction of scraps, (it meets my taste because i love all colors in one place), and using all the pits by leader and renders instead of get rid of pieces you can use for a new project

Now i wish I win with you

Oh Bonnie, how can I choose just one moment in the last 10 yrs?? Your broken glasses story was hilarious only because it happened to you - not me. I would have cried me a river or two here in CA to help with our drought! I love how you taught Mona how to sew and what a success her 1st quilt was. Sadie is a sweetheart and always ready for the next new adventure. I travel vicariously through you and get very jealous but maybe 1 day I'll get to all those places too. And meeting you in person about 5-6 years ago was my best highlight of the last 10 yrs and getting to see you again in Feb 2016 will be even better.
Congratulations!!!

As they say' time flies when having Tim's and boy does it! I am grateful the day I found you and have been following you every day since. Have had the pleasure of five mystery quilts and love every one of them. Because of you I jumped in with both feet to making scrap quilts. Prior to participating in the mystery quilt, I was a matchy, matchy gal. Everything in a very controlled color/ fabric pallet. Nit any longer. Thanks Bonnie for all your long, hard hours of work just so you can share with us a myriad of creations. Can't wait to see your next book and mystery quilt. If I win you can reach me at quiltedangelhideaway@yahoo.com

10 years of blogging! Wow, that's quite an achievement! I love the fact that you blog EVERY day, I love checking in each day to see what you have been doing. Think your Quilt Cams are a great idea, I really enjoy watching them on catch up as I live in the UK and timing is not possible for seeing you live. Enjoy your free patterns, have been making wonky star blocks and always have Crumb blocks on the go as a Leader and Ender project. I have made several quilts using those blocks. Love the photos of your trips and workshops. Thanks for the chance in your Anniversary Giveaway.

Well, Bonnie, I have only followed your blog for the past few years, but I have been reading your daily posts religiously since I first found your blog. I enjoy all of your posts. But when I tried to think of the one post that stands out in my mind, it would have to be the reveal of my first ever mystery quilt. It was the reveal of the layout of Celtic Solstice on New Years Eve of 2013. So exciting to see it all come together. Congratulations on your ten year anniversary of blogging.

Congratulations on 10 years of blogging. I enjoy so many things about your blog and have followed your blog for years. I have especially enjoyed your progress on your cabin in the mountains and hearing about your getting snowed in this past winter. We had quite the ice storm in Metro Atlanta too. I also have a cabin get away in NCthat I go to once a month for a long weekend and sew on my mother's Kenmore 60's sewing machine. At home I have my mother-in-law's 60's Kenmore and her mother's 221 Singer Featherweight. I purchased a 201-2 Singer that I "long arm" quilt with on a domestic frame.

I love Quilt-Cam with you as well. I enjoy hearing about your finds at antique markets as you travel and learning from you about the vintage machines. You have been to my guild twice to speak and I visited another guild when you were there as well. Your inspiration never grows old. Thank you for the gift of your time and encouragement.

Your blog has encouraged me to work onward and sometimes do things that are out of my comfort zone. There are so many moments I have especially enjoyed, traveling to marvelous places through your eyes, the excitement you had when you purchased your home in the mountains, quilt cam, your devotion not only to the craft but also to your followers. It is always a journey to read your blog, to see what you have designed for us to see and use, and the list goes on.

Although I've been to your site through the suggestion of my sister in law, I've just recently been getting your messages. I dowloaded your mystery quilt in the fall and even bought some fabric for it but haven't started it. My goal at this time is to organize my scraps according to your method. Yoohoo. Please continue to inspire us all for another 10 years. Edie Romano ejr1403@gmail.com

So many moments! Congratulations! My favorite moment was when I discovered that if I followed your instructions exactly, I could make a quilt top that had all the points left on pointy pieces, all the corners matched, and I looked like a professional quilt maker. That was such a great moment for me because I had never had that happen before. No wonder I love your patterns and that is why almost every quilt I mae now is some variation of a Bonnie Hunter quilt. admcmasters@gmail.com

Congrats on 10 years and I hope it has been as rewarding for you as it has been for me and the rest of your followers. Thanks, Cheryl. Clvelker@aol.com

Thanks for letting us share the ride and opending my eyes to the wonderful world of scraps. I start every morning with coffee and Bonnie's blog.

My favorite moment with your blog was when I discovered Quilt Cam! It is wonderful to feel part of a sewing group - and to be able to enjoy each part multiple times :) But I love everything about your blog, filled with positive inspiration as it is!

My absolute favorite moment was in a blog post when you explained why you post the mystery quilts when you do. This was in response to complaints that it was too busy of a time to get the sewing done each week. I was so touched that you would think of so many of your readers who are alone at the holidays with voids of time. It is obvious you have a soft spot the size of Texas in your heart for quilters! You give us so much of yourself through your time and talents. Thank you, Miss Bonnie! You are love in action :).

Has it been 10 years? WOW! Time flies when we're quilting!
My favorite times, I have several:
When you sewed on Marilyn, I fell in love with her!
When you got your new Do, you were so cute!
When you kissed the Blarney Stone! GREAT!
Tons of others.
You have inspired me in so many ways.
I now own and use several vintage machines. I LOVE THEM.
My quilting and piecing have come along way.
Also, you have saved me a ton of money in using every scrap of fabric.

Bonnie, you've done so much for us in just the years I've been following! My own personal private favorite is when I was watching Quilt Cam while travelling on business. One night I wrote in about my bead embroidery ornaments for a quilted wall hanging and you gave me a shout out - that was fun. But truly, I've learned so much from your mystery quilts, books, articles, and the group that follows you. Becky Hall (beckyh@rchconsulting.com)

Happy 10th Anniversary! Your work inspires me, especially since I love traditional quilt designs and it seems to me that scrappy quilts have quite a bit of tradition behind them. I love the pictures of your cabin site and your puppy, too. Also have to mention your column and books, both of which I read and use. Hope you continue to enjoy all of it.

Congratulations on 10 years! What a wonderful accomplishment! Thank you for all you do for the quilting world. My favorite moment was finding your website and blog. I have used several of your free patterns. They are so easy to follow and they are wonderful patterns. I have also done a couple of your Mystery Quilts. I just finished piecing Celtic Solstice. Using up scraps has changed my way of quilting. I will shop my stash before buying fabric now...but, I still buy fabric!
Thank you again for all that you do for us. We appreciate it so much.

10 Years! Congratulations!!! I've only been following for about a year but it's been a great year. The Log Cabin was the very first quilt I ever made, king sized and a gift for a friend. That was about 20 years ago. Some day I plan on making one for me and it will be blue. Anyway... Congrats on a great anniversary and looking forward to lots more years with you.

favorite moment was discovering a quilter called Bonnie K Hunter when I took a quilt workshop from a local quilt store. The instructor introduced me to a scrappy way of life, quiltville.com, leaders and Enders, and of course, if the fabric is still ugly you haven't cut it small enough!
This day changed my life...I finally decided I needed to take time for myself and participate in scrap therapy.

Love you Bonnie♡

Marti Morgan said...

Bonnie - 10 years and I missed a few of them - didn't find you or know of you until I really got involved in quilting, and it hasn't been 10 years for me. I never thought I cared for "scrappy" until someone posted a picture of a quilt that you designed on a site that I frequent. It was gorgeous, and I was interest. So here I am following you and learning so much. Thank you! Marti Morgan lnmm@outlook.com
