**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!

There are so many wonderful moments. One was when I made your houses quilt and scrappy trip around the world. But the best moment was when you got the opportunity to publish your first book!
Happy Anniversary, what a great day, 10 years are a lot.
Thank you for this gorgeous giveaway. So, I want to hop in the drawing bucket, and maybe I am lucky.
Have a great day,
Sylvia
Nice prize Bonnie. I would love to win this. My favorite moment was when I stalked you at the Verona Antique Mall! You are even more fun in person than on Quiltcam! Congratulations and Happy Anniversary.

Im only 1 year into Quilting but congrats to you on your 10 years!!!!! Imagine all the quilts that have been made just because of you!!!??? Safe traveling and hopefully someday I will get the pleasure of meeting and learning from you in person..

Congrats on your anniversary. I love how generous you are with your quilting knowledge. You are responsible for me actually loving to make scrap quilts. I used to hate the site of them but you have a way of making them sing. I have made several of them since seeing you speak in Ann Arbor a few years ago. Thanks for all you do.
Congratulations Bonnie....10 years is a fantastic milestone. You are my favorite quilting celebrity! Not many people share their talents like you do. It is a wish to meet you one day:)
Take care of you.

My favorite moments are Quilt Cam days! We get a peek at what you're working on and get inspired! Thanks for all you do!
Congratulations! There are so many wonderful moments on our journey with you. I think one of the best was when you announced you had bought the cabin. Everyone has a place that feeds their soul and from reading all your post I think the cabin and the blue ridge mountains are yours. edrin1932@gmail.com
Congratulations! My favorite time with you was at the Love Shack Class in Houston. Looks like a great prize - can't wait to make this quilt!
Congrats to you my friend!
My favourite moment? Meeting you in person in Tampa.

My favorite moment is really three...taking three classes with you at Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, PA! Another favorite...your mystery quilts. They have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and make really large, complicated, scrappy quilts. LOVE them!
I love anything that is free! If it's something that is not to my liking I simply share with a friend. Share the love and quilt chatter. Joanne stories@vnet.net

Happy Anniversary! My most favorite memory is reading your blog for the very first time. I don't remember exactly how I found you, but it had something to do with a Blue Ridge Mountain Festival. Anyway.... I've been following you ever since, and especially like the annual mystery quilt (even though I haven't made all of them).
Happy Anniversary! Loved both the mystery quilt and quilt cam - hard to choose which was my favorite. edwardsb54@gmail.com

Happy anniversary! Love the curved layout on the log cabin quilt. I have followed you for several years and have made several mystery quilts and a lot of your freebies. Thanks to your scrap saver system I am slowly getting my scraps in order. I had been making quilts for quite a while and had containers filled with scraps and was about to toss them because I felt so overwhelmed and did not know where to start.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness

A favorite moment??? A very long time ago I found your scrap system page on a link on a publishers website. The words were in a yellow background. I was so excited to try this. Fear of cutting fabric up stopped me. A long time later I found your blog. I was so happy to see your words again. This time I took the plunge. I cut up all those pieces I had folded up inside my yardage. Wonder of wonders, there was enough for several baby quilts. I have made several or your free pattern quilts. My next major milestone was actually committing to make the Orca Bay mystery. This was given to my daughter. She picked the colors, which was unnerving to me. It came out beautiful and she loves on it everyday. Thank you for ten years of love, great ideas and motivation you give everyday.

Happy Anniversary! I love it when something doesn't go as planned with your sewing, like you get a seam in the corner while binding. It proves you are just human, (with unbelievable strengths and talents).
Thank you for all you do!

Congrats, Bonnie. Sure wish you were coming back to the Rio Grande Valley again. Was at the LQS 2 days ago and had taken in my Grande Illusion quilt to show everyone and some one from Sioux Falls was in and said you were going to be in her area this summer. I had to tell her what a fun time she will have attending one of your workshops!

terrific milestone bonnie! not only 10 years of fun for you but 10 years of quilting tips, patterns, eye candy for us! my favorite moment? would have to be the day i discovered quiltville and said, oh yeah, that is the kind of quilter i want to be....scrappy, thrifty, colorful.....it has definitely changed me as a quilter; now more thrifty (leaders/enders), more scrappy and way less matchy-matchy and wasteful....thank you wonderful bonnie, may the fun continue always!
Happy Anniversary, Bonnie. I found you just over a year ago and was so inspired I have started a scrap quilt that I love. Your blog posts are wonderful. I live vicariously through them.

Favorite moment? Must be when I stumbled across your blog then your FB page. The knowledge you so generiously share has made me jump in and actually quilt. I now have the courage to cut into my stash. Thanks to you I realize "scrappy" is what I enjoy most. Thank you for being "Bonnie's Guild" to this shutin.

Great prize! I just joined the quilting world, but I acquired a quilt which was sold to support a mission trip. I saw a picture of the pattern on pinterest, and it was the Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll quilt that was one of your mystery quilts. I have purchased a couple of your books, and looking forward to making my own mystery quilt sometime.

Congratulations Bonnie...Love your Quilt Cam!
Congratulations Bonnie, 10 years of Quilting support, patterns, tutorials, and inspiration for all of us out here in blogland, a fantastic achievement.
For me, the most exciting moment was learning how to sew a precise quarter inch seam, I saw you doing it with a seam guide and it was a lightbulb moment for me.
Many thanks, hope to share the moments for another 10 years.

Hello! I'm really new to you and scrap quilts. I love everything you do. My favorite moment is watching you make crumb blocks. I just learned about you a month or so ago. Bought your string quilt book and need to get more when my finances allow it. Congrats on 10 years! Love your blog!

You are one popular gal Bonnie. I scrolled forever to be able to leave my comment.
Happy 10th anniversary my friend.
My exciting moments with you were at Rangeley, Me. a few years ago and then again in Windham, Me. this past winter when we re-connected. Of course I connect with you each day of the year through your blog.
I love your tips and tricks and down to earth friendship.
Thanks so much,

Happy anniversary! Thank you for all you do. We are so glad you love what you do. It shows. Your creativity inspires me every day. My favorite moment? Discovering leaders and enders. Then its kind of a toss up between my first Quilt Cam and when I first found your blog just over a year ago. Scrappy quilt ideas have completely changed my perspective. After that I am always finding favorite moments.
But the best gift of all is your positive attitude every day in spite of whatever is going on in your life. I didn't realize how much a positive influence would have on me. It has simply changed my life for the better. Between retiring in 25 days (!), having scraps and ideas to create and quilt with, and the consistent positive input, life is good! Here's hoping yours remains as wonderful. Thank you again.

Bonnie,
I love the mystery quilts that you do. I am about a quarter the way done with my GIMQ. I also like the addicted to scraps column in the magazine. I am hoping to be able to get to see you in person when you come to Missouri.
I just love the work that you do.

Bonnie I discovered you back when I was making my Dear Jane around 2004. You were doing the pink and brown storm at sea sashing and I absolutely loved it. I have one of your in progress pictures printed out and bound in my Dear Jane book for inspiration. Then I read about your scrap saver system and I was hooked! I have all your books and love them all. Your mysteries are so much fun and I have them all too. Thank you for all the things you do. You are so amazing in all you get done..so inspiring to all of us.
Congratulations Bonnie: Love your blog and it is the first thing I do to start my day. My favorite postings is when you are away on a trip and I get to join in with you through your pictures and dialogue about where you are and what is significant about where you are. And lastly I love Scrappy.
Congratulations on a decade of inspiration and encouragement to fellow quilters! Your patterns have changed the quilting world. Even with all your free patterns and instructions online there was still lots to learn from the class I took with you and your talk at our quilt guild. And I will say that your love of vintage machines, not just collecting but restoring and using them, has inspired innumerable number of quilters to begin their own sewing machine collections. What a nice tribute to you!
All the best for the next decade! shaulap@featheredstarquilt.com
Congrats Bonnie! Thanks for all you share with your readers! Loved the mystery quilt this past year, my first with you. Enjoyed meeting you in Sarasota, Florida in 2014. I have made several baby quilts with your Addicted to Scraps blocks. Love Quilt Cam!!

Congratulations on 10 great years - yours is the first blog I read
I 've been reading the blog for only a year. I don't have a favorite moment, but I have a couple of favorite themes. First, I love the hexie project and am eager to see how you complete it (there is a posting on Quilting Board.com that shows a way to finish the edges with the complete hexie and a really neat way to quilt it towgether). Next, I love the ShowNTell pictures from your classes. Lastly, I really like the postings of the sites (Alaska and Italy in particular) of your trips.
Congratulations on your first ten years of blogging. Between your willingness to teach us sewing tips every day, and your sharing traveling adventures with us, I have learned so much.
Thank you for everything you do for us.

Congrats on doing what you love for ten years, thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Congrats on 10 years of blogging. Wow! I love everything about your blog. We travel fulltime in our RV and sometimes it gets pretty lonely out here as a quiltser. You are my quilt bee ( miss my bee group of 25 years). You are my inspiration. You are my encourager. I use your scrap saver system (it saves space). Love Quilt Cam. Love your patterns. I am now making Sisters Choice ( ready to assemble) Idaho Square Dance (leader Enders), deciding on border for Easy Street and kitting 3 more of your patterns. You keep me busy. Thank you so very much for the inspiration

Happy anniversary!
Love your blog, especially the sharing of your travel pictures, as I love to travel also.
I have made one of your mysteries, Easy Street, and one of your free patterns,Scrappy Mountain Majesties. Hope to make more.

Congratulations! My most memorable moment was when I began my first ever mystery with you doing Carolina Christmas and I finished it! We still love that quilt but it was you who took me from being a "Wanna-bee Quilter" to being a real quilter. I used to just stockpile fabric and dream of making quilts. Your step-by-step hand-holding instructions gave me the confidence to actually do it. Thank you so very much!!!

Happy 10 years! My favorites were the classes you taught in Bloomigton and Lafayette and the time you shared my Smith Mountain Morning with your fans!

Bonnie, wow! I didn't realize that I got married the year started your blog! There are so many favorites...I love that your blogs are positive, sharing and caring. There is enough ugliness in the world. Quilting shouldn't be. Thank you for all you share and I enjoy reading about your travels. Finally, I enjoyed taking a class with you at the Virginia Quilters Unlimited Show a few years back. Cheers to more happy blogging and save travels!

Been with you over 5 years now and I still think you write the best blog on the Net! You have shared so much that it is hard to pick a favourite, but for me it's probably the annual Mystery Quilt - have made three in my London studio on grey winter days and two in sunny Cape Town on long visits. Thank you for all the fun and long may it continue! stephen@magicfactory.org.uk
Bonnie,Congratulation on your ten year anniversary.I love your Blog and your energy. You keep us all Quilting!!!

Happy Anniversary. Thanks for the giveaway. I love your log cabin and am going to do that with my scraps right now. It will be my new leader ender.
Happy 10th Anniversary to you:) I got my copy of Quiltmaker in the mail the other day and went on-line right away to see what was in store for the log cabin blocks but it wasn't up yet :( Now I'm gonna have to check again. Thanks for teaching me so much about quilting over the past few years, looking forward to 10 more years :)
Congratulations. I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. I enjoy the sewing tips, the mysterys, the show and tell from all your quilting classes, quilt cam and of course your scrap savers system. Keep it up as your are an inspiration and a joy to read.
Happy Anniversary! how lucky we are to have you share your talents with us. I really enjoy Quilt Cam when I can fit it in and all those free patterns!!

Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! I love your blog and your quilts. Thank you for sharing so much with us!
Congratulations on 10 years. I know how difficult it can be to write every day, but I so look forward to your posts each morning. Have fun in New York.
Congratulations on your decade blog. Quite an accomplishment! Continued Blessings!!!
Happy anniversary to Quiltville. I don't remember when I first discovered your site, it may have been pre-blog. I was drawn to your scrappy designs and made one of your free pattern quilts. Your system of using scraps is something I am trying to do but I still have a long ways to go to get super organized like you. Lately I have enjoyed reading about your travels and the hexie quilt progress. Keep on doing what you love, because you have tons of people who love you for it! Thanks so much.

I am so inspired by your energy and accomplishments. I like to follow your blog and to view your pictures and comments on Instagram. Recently discovered your Quiltcam and it helps to curb the loneliness at night. My husband works away from home and your discussions and ideas help to keep me company when I am also working on a quilt project. I just finished a single Irish chain for my daughter. I love your blog and would like to start a Leader and Ender project soon. Keep well!!! Hope your eyes get better soon. I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY.
Congratulations on TEN years. I am amazed by how much you get accomplished in one day! You inspire me daily. 😀💛🌻

I really enjoyed making the chunky churndash (one you great free patterns) and I discovered in the process that while my first love is liberated quilt design and liberated piecing, the more traditional scrap quilts are also so much fun. I am known in my guild for really bright colors and sort of wacky quilts, and surprised some of the other ladies when they saw me working on this at a retreat. If it weren't for your site I doubt I would have learned how much I like scrap quilts and I am on my way with a new leader and ender project born from leftovers of the Churn-dash quilt and am planning to tackle Florabunda as soon as I get some time to wack into a huge pile of floral prints. Love reading about your adventures and thanks so much for the site and the generous use of your patterns. lsmucker@hotmail.com
Thank you for sharing with all of us. I look forward to every post. Would love to win the prize! Katherine.tomasulo@gmail.com
Everyday before work I check your blog, and wish I could quilt today instead of going to work. You give me inspiration to do more each and every morning.

I loved your recent trip to Alaska. Thank you for being so generous and upbeat for quilters.
My favorite part of watching quilt cam is you demonstrating how you choose the variety of colors for your blocks and your clear love of fabric. Lovely gift. Thanks for all you do. Brenda

Bonnie, what I really need from someone like you is a tip on just how to use my time so wisely! I do not understand just how you manage to do everything you do and for each and everyone one of us.

Happy anniversary! What a great accomplishment!
Happy Anniversary Bonnie! I was going to say my fav time with you was waiting for your annual Mystery Quilt to start, but when you came up and sewed with Kevin, Susie, Fay and I for a day at Fays shop, nothing compares with that! The shop is closed and we don't have a home to go to and meet anymore. I always look forward to what you are doing and your travels..please continue on! Becky

You've inspired me to do the Leaders and Enders--piecing on the sly ;). I am intrigued by Log Cabin quilts so would like the magazine. kckoehn83@gmail.com
Congratulations for 10 years ! I've been following you for only 1 year and I've learnt heaps!! I'm wondering what I've missed in the other 9 years! I use your scrap user system now and it is truely magical to see a pile of 4 patches that I don't remember sewing. Thanks also for answering the few questions I have had along the way. From down under in NZ.
