**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 Anniversary!!! 10 years of fun for all of us. Thank you sooooo much!
Congratulations on 10 years of blogging! I hope there will be many more years to come! My favorite blog moment would be when you came to our guild a few years ago and posted about the potluck buffet we had. Lots of chocolate was provided to fuel a room full of NW Alabama quilters making Pineapple Blossom blocks. I enjoyed your class so much! bhquilter at gmail dot com
Happy 10 Year Anniversary! I love seeing what you are doing in all your travels as well as your wonderful quilting tutorials. Really enjoyed the Grand Makinaw hotel series last year.
Happy 10 yr anniversary Bonnie. Times really does fly when you are having so much fun -- and we certainly are when it comes to your blog. I love being on your fabulous trips around the globe through your blog, along with all the wonderful free patterns you so generously give us. See you soon.

I remember your old website, one with the picture of your sewing studio on an upper floor of a house...at the time, mine was in the basement, but nice, but was jealous of the light you had. Im happy to report that now Im in a nicely lit quilt studio (one story house in FL).
Hi Bonnie, Glad you're having so much fun...I have really enjoyed traveling with you in pictures..you have made it so enjoyable..almost like being there with you...thank you so much! I would never have seen the places you have been to if you hadn't taken those pictures and posted them for us...so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Quilting has been so fulfilling for us since you have been on quiltville quiltcam..lets keep this going! I look forward to you each and every time. You are so caring and such a helpful person to us even if we have just started or ol'time quilters....that's a rare find! Love love you! Ella in North Wilkesboro, NC..telp67@yahoo.com

Happy 10th anniversary. I've followed for a good number of those years and still find myself looking forward to every post. I love visiting with an old friend everyday!! There have been so many great moments it's impossible to narrow the field to one, and over the course of the years my favorite has changed, but right now I am enamored with Mona's quilting journey. She is so lucky to have in person what most of us only get online!! I have Bonnie envy, lol!! Would love to win this issue of Quiltmaker and the little gift box. Thanks for the chance to enter.

I did get to attend one of your workshops locally and am still piecing my Talking Turkey. I absolutely love that pattern. I hope to take a trip to Italy or go on a cruise with you, One day :) lol.
Thanks for all you do.

I've loved every blog you wrote, every moment you shared, ever since I discovered your blog way back in (I think) 2009. Just keep up the good work!
My favourite part of your blogging is that you make each of your readers feel like we are your special quilting buddy! I enjoy your enthusiasm for life!
ladybugs6000(at)yahoo.ca
I only found you a couple of years ago, & I've enjoyed every minute spent with you; but I guess my favorite is when you showed us about Leaders and Enders! What a revelation! Love it, & I too love log cabin quilts. That was one of the first real pieced design I made & I've loved them since. What a joy you are to spend time with & I so wish I could take a class with you some time but hard for me to travel now. So I spend it with you thru my computer. What a neat prize too, would love to win. Happy travels & see you on the blog!

Congratulations on your 10th year! I discovered you a little over 2 years ago, but it has been a very rewarding and inspiring time. Thank you for all you share!
I just started following your blog last year. I have started the Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt...it may take me forever to finish it. I have enjoyed seeing all the variations that people have made. Your scrap users system appeals to me, but it seems a daunting task to cut all the scraps into usable sizes. Thank you for the opportunity for a giveaway.
deborah.k.browning@gmail.com
to be honest....my favorite was the moment I discovered your blog and website. I remember thinking to myself "omg...someone else that thinks like me!". Anytime a newbie asks me to recommend sites to visit, yours is at the top of the list. Thank you so much for the years of inspiration and the personal email of encouragement when I sent you a photo of a finished quilt top. Here's to many, many more years of awesomeness!! hugs.....
Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary. Its quite the milestone!
I love that when you travel..even if its (only) to Quilt Villa...I get to come along and enjoy the trip right along with you. I also enjoy learning about vintage sewing machines. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Judy Sigsworth jsigswor@gmail.com
Bonnie, Congrats on the great milestone! Thanks for bringing us along on your quilting adventures! From the scrap user's system, to the free patterns, to your travel adventures, and quilt cam!
I also got to meet you in person in Spokane, WA. :):)
Thanks,

Tried to post earlier today and goofed on my gmail sign in...so I looked and I believe I'm not listed yet. I am a techno-dino, so bear with me. teresakeane703@hotmail.com
I don't think I can come up with just one moment I love the crumby block and have made a quilt with them and gave away more than I can count. I also came across the way you make bias binding you have no idea how much I use that method it sure has saved me a lot of time and trouble. Your quilt cam is fun and one day I will learn how to send you a message. Keep up the great work and all your story's about where you are and what your doing.
Thank you

I just found your blog a few months ago. Congrats on your ten years! I love your appreciation of scraps. You are wonderful.
Congratulations on 10 years. I am new to quilting and do not have the history these ladies do, but I enjoyed the Grand Illusions mystery quilt. Just have to get it out together, all the parts are completed. I would love to win the case, but I am not lucky, but keep trying. Hope you have 10+ more years before you retire to Buck Mountain to sew forever on the porch in that lovely cabin.

My favorite post was when you shared one of MY quilts using YOUR pattern. I emailed it (before Facebook!) to my friends titled "Almost Famous". Of course the non-quilting friends didn't get it. You are given me wings to delve into my scraps with abandon and I thank you. Belinda (barnmace@msn.com)
Hello, Bonnie,
Congratulations on 10 years of blogging memories for you but since I am fairly new to quilting, I have only been a blog reader for the last year. I would have to say that my favorite times would be running around to the Lowe's trying to find the paint chips for the last Mystery quilt. It was quite fun seeing and hearing who had gotten them and who needed them and sending our extras to quilting friends who could not find them. That brought the quilting girls (and guys) together as a group and I loved it. Sharing and Caring.
Carlene : canbesweet@aol.com
Congratulations on 10 years! I love "traveling" and quilting with you all over the world through your blog. LOL My favorite blog posts are when you are in Alaska. Thank you for the inspiration and a great giveaway.
Happy 10th Anniversary! Thank you for posting everyday. I look forward to seeing where you've been and where you are going. I really enjoy seeing all the pictures you post plus the other followers posts
Happppppy Blogiversary to You!!! :)
My favorite "Moment"..well...can't think of a single one...they have ALL been grrrrreat Moments..every time I read your Posts! Feels like I just had a visit with a Special Friend! thank you soooo much for all you share & do for all of us!! Here's too many many more years!! Ohio Hugs!!! :)
bearpaws9(at)copper.net
!0 years is much longer than I've been quilting, but as a 4 year quilter, I have enjoyed your blog and reading about all the classes, trips, etc. Been around the world with Bonnie Hunter, lol. Most memorable was when I wrote you to let you know my Easy Street won 1st place in our Quilt Show, to find out you already knew and had posted about it. The 2nd most memorable was actually getting to meet you in March this year, when my friend, Suzy, and I drove over to Tampa to attend your lecture. We were staying in the same hotel, and got to chat before and after the event, what a weekend to remember, thanks for that and all you do. Mona in Melbourne, FL
Happy 10th anniversary! My favorite was Grand Illusion because two friends and I got together to swap fabrics and work on it. We had lots of fun following your wonderful directions and two of us have finished and the other has her GI in progress. Thanks for all the fun, tips and free patterns over the years as well as the chance to win this giveaway.
MJinMichigan@gmail.com
Gosh I just bought the magazine I looked at your page but not the rest of it yet ( so in the unlikely event I am picked please give the magazine prize to another)
The red needle/thread case is so darn cute I'd love to win it
I want to say my favorite part of the blog is quilt cam but I don't think that is quite what you wanted to know.
So it's that I get to read about you as a real woman who makes her living doing what she truly enjoys. It's hearing you say the flight was terrible but the food was great. I am so happy to read you everyday . I miss you when you don't post (rarely) but you are so regular it's not huge I know you will post soon.
colleen1990atyahoodotcom

Thanks for all the blogs for the past 10 years. I'm always amazed at how often you post. It makes my day every day. My favorite blogs are when you introduce the newest Mystery. Thanks again. nena@bnads.com
Congratulations! I do so love a celebration and receiving gifts... What a wonderful giveaway. I've shared leaders and Enders with my quilt group and we are now making several quilts for our local hospice. Thanks for all your inspiration Bonnie.

The best moment was the day I found Your site, and realized I didn't have to have 6 yards of one fabric to do a quilt.
Would love to win the magazine and gift! I found you about a year and a half ago. Still working on split nine patch but loved the GIMQ. It was made into 2 quilts and gifted to Project Linus. Marcia Ash

10 years Congratulations. I remember when I first found your website I was so exited. Now I tell all my quilting friends.
debbees@salsgiver.com
My favorite moment was when I jumped of the cliff, so to speak, and gave up control enough to join you in a mystery quilt. I watched through Carolina Crossroads and then jumped in with Orange Crush. it was a wonderful learning experience and I've been learning with you ever since.
ooooh!!!! How delicious!!! The magazine AND the compact full of goodies. congrats on your (our) 10 years!! My best moment of your site was the moment I found your blog!! I sat forever on the computer until I saw and read ALL the back entries that I had missed by not knowing you!!! And here are cheers for many more years to come.
aurora - louaurora@yahoo.com
My favorite moment is the day I found your blog and started following you!! Simple as that. Probably back in 2012 when I first became interested in quilting. Thank you for all your sharing.
kakingsbury at verizon dot net
I think I have been reading your blog about as long as I have been quilting. It was THE best thing I found on-line when I started quilting. Congratulations, ten years is just so wonderful. It says a lot about you without tooting your own horn. The prize is just lovely, and so are the inside looks at new ways to log cabin, one of my favorites for all its variety. Thanks again Bonnie.

nankc@comcast.net
Dear Bonnie,
Thanks for sharing your life, talent and inspiration for 10 years. You've kept me quilting when I may have stopped and a complete scrappy Quilter. Currently working on Bowdacious from your book. Ironing little scraps and cutting up 1.5 inch squares.
Many more years of quilting, health and happiness to you and yours!
Dianne
I have enjoyed following your blog ever since I got a computer in 2006! I have watched every QUiltCam (although not all of them live) and always love reading about what you are up to. My favourite memory was meeting you at a class in Michigan in 2010!
Hi Bonnie, Have been a reader for 9 of these 10 years. You're sooo right in wondering where the time has slipped away to! My 'favorite' memory is when I was able to present my Mom with an autographed copy of your first book. She's the one who finally lured me into quilting, and your book was my way of admitting to her that I was hooked. She passed away in 2013, but your book was one of the things she'd kept close; I now keep it close as well. Laura Hood (rebusrebus@verizon.net)
Congratulations, Bonnie. I love your generosity not only in sharing your quilt patterns but also in sharing your knowledge and your life with us. Thank you.
Fran franandrick@bigpond.com
Happy Anniversary! You have shared so much with us. You are both creatively generous and generously creative. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
Congratulations! 10 years! My favorite time with you was when I attended your Pineapple Blossom Block Quilt workshop for the Wilkes Quilters in Wilkes County. Love everything about your blog. Love your free patterns as well as your pattern books. I have three of your books so far. Here's hoping you continue blogging, doing Quilt Cam and writing pattern books for a long time.
Wow - 10 years! ! Doesn't time fly when you are having fun :)
You always make quilting fun, too much fun just to select one moment.
Love how you share your travels and classes with us. Thank you so very much.

I hope I am in time for the giveaway, love your designs, and am happy to congratulate you on your ten years!
I would love to win! Looks like some awesome goodies. I love your site, so many wonderful things and inspiration.
Your website and blog taught me that quilting is no big mystery and even I could make a quilt. Your common sense approach to repurposing matches my own and you taught me that it's a valid approach....don't be ashamed that you don't buy every new fabric design to hit the market!

I agree with all the other lovely Quilters. The best part is that you share your life with us. Even when you or your loved ones are facing challenges you always seem to be the candle in the darkness. You are more than an inspiration, you are truly a Blessing. May you have many, many more years doing the things that make your heart smile.

Bonnie, you are asking for a favorite moment on your blog? That is like asking a child to pick only one present under the Christmas tree!! I have not only taken a class with you, but I have traveled the world, met some wonderful quilting ladies and seen their quilting masterpieces!! I think my favorite moments are when we are getting dusty and thirsty in the antique malls looking for the "finds".. Congrats,darling girl, you deserve the best!! Carolyn Barnett csbbobbin@yahoo.com
Happy anniversary!
I would LOVE to win!
Best regards from Norway

Thank you for your generous heart...you are an inspiration.
Love your Log Cabin block. Want to make this quilt for sure. Also, Prescencia thread is my favorite for piecing. I love that it is a 3 ply thread. Here's hoping on the drawing! anita

Hi Bonnie! How can we actually choose a favorite moment from 10 years! I do remember tho when you mentioned you were considering the name Quiltville, so glad you jumped in and did. You have done more than anyone I know of to promote this wonderful world! Keep it up.
Congratulations on the 10 years Bonnie!! Would love to win. You inspire me so much with your mystery quilts, quilt cam and all those photos on your trips.

I loved sharing fresh picked sweet dark cherries from my cherry orchard in North East, PA. Only I forgot to tell you about the booming gunfire cannon to scare away the birds! You gave me the new name. Cherry Boom! Paulinefisher@verizon.net
I love your quilt cams, especially! Would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity. chocolatewiskers@aol.com
Ooh this would be fun to win!!!
Congratulations on 10 years! That's awesome. Using your tutorial to make a scrappy trip around the world quilt has been my favorite thing. Thanks for the chance to win! mto2golsen (at) gmail (dot) com
Happy 10th Anniversary and wishes for many more. How can one put into a few words all of the amazing things they love about you Bonnie, there are so many but I will try. I surfed across your bog one night in 2012 and it took me awhile to learn how to find all of the amazing things that you share with your viewers. But here are just a few of my favorites. Quilt Cam, and since I have always loved vintage items I quickly fell in love with the sound that your collection of Vintage Machines made while you sewed. So that set the wheels in motion to my own lovely collection of 16. Free patterns & tips, Mystery time, and all of the wonderful pictures you take and share while traveling, and in class. I love all quilts, but the log cabin is one that is on my bucket list. So I am thankful for the chance to win the book and that lovely thread and case. Thank you for being the kind, generous, special lady that you are. I can hardly wait to see what unfolds in the next ten yrs. markayblueeyes@gmail.com
I would love to take one of your classes. I heard a rumor you have a quiltalong every Thanksgiving season, and will look for it this November. I'm a scrappy fan too. denisenash1975@yahoo.com
Happy Anniversary!!!!
I have no recall of discovering your blog, but I distinctly remember being glued to the screen for hours, traveling back in time with you to the very first post. I hate missing even one day. Meeting you in person was an incredible treat. I have met so very few people who are such an inspiration while just being who they are. You have changed the way I think about quilting and fabric and I am inspired every day when I "check in"
Thank you so much for all you do, and here's to many more years!!!!

Thanks for the memories, I started reading your blog somewhere around 2009. Your website and free patterns are how I discovered you on a very bitter cold winter day when I was bored and looking for something "different" to do. 6 BIG quilts and 3 mysteries later I think I'm hooked. My favorite Bonnie memory was this spring when you finally made it to Oklahoma. A big thank you to your family for sharing you with us. Looking forward to the future and observing your travels through the blog in the years to come. rich.lynda@me.com
Congratulations on 10 years, that's alot of dedication and hard work, even though you love it :)
Happy 10 years. I really enjoy reading your blog and seeing all your travels.
Here's to another 10 years
