BLOG-AVERSARY and a GIVEAWAY!


Friday, Oct 7, 2011 - I began Kwilty Pleasures


I was on vacation in Myrtle Beach and 
my son, Eric, helped me setup my blogtemplate.  
I was off and typing!

Today, I celebrate my two year blog-aversary
right here, where it began...here at the beach!


If you would like to read my first post it is here

Kwilty Pleasures had a very slow start!!!
All that has gone out with the tide.

Here are some 2 year milestone accomplishments:

Published 150 posts, 5 tutorials here
Participated in 18 blog hops, 5 swaps,
4 challenges, 1 QAL  and 2 Quilt Shows.

I have been happy to provide lots of giveaways 
(with no sponsor help)
 sending prizes as far away as Australia!

My most exciting accomplishment is reaching

" 600 "


Without you, my followers, I'd still be wondering what the
heck this blogging is all about!  I know now..it is YOU!

You inspire me everyday to write and design with more creativity, to think outside the box!  Your comments mean so much!


Without further adieu....
The GIVEAWAY is...
A Kwilty Pleasures tote bag!



GIVEAWAY IS OPEN TO ALL!
Friday, October 18th a winner will be announced!

Just leave one comment telling me
one thing you like most and/or least about my blog.
Your constructive feedback will only help me
improve my blog and keep you following!

Again, for letting me share my Kwilty Pleasures with you!

GOLF and GHASTLIES

When Phil and I travel...he takes his golf clubs.
I bring my sewing machine.
Here he is ready for a round of golf!


We route our travel via kwilt shop stops.
When I make a fabric purchase
our conversation goes something like this.

Kathy:  I just played a round of golf
Phil:  With or without cart?
Kathy: 18 holes with cart...
get me to the 19th hole,
I've worked up a thirst!

Here's what is on my "beachy" design wall!  






Kwilt On!
