If this is your first visit to MacDonald's Patch,
I'd like to welcome you. Hello to everyone who has visited before. For first time visitors, I'd like to tell you
a little about myself.

The MacDonald Family - Nelson, Noel, me, Austin and Mitchell |
My name is Christine and I've been married to Noel for nearly 19 years. We have three gorgeous sons
(perhaps I just may be a little bit biased!),
Mitchell 17, Austin 15 and Nelson 13.
I started my blog back on 16th November, 2009. I can't believe that I've been blogging for over four years.
After discovering blogs, I thought it would be fun
to start one of my own. I chose the name MacDonald's Patch as our surname is MacDonald and I love patchwork.
Seemed like a good idea to me!

"Intriguing Illusions", my first quilt made in 1993. |
My blog has become my journal of quilting and my family.
Little did I know how much I would come to love blogging and that I would make so many new friends
from all over the world and get so much inspiration.

Devonshire Tea anyone? |
It was through blogging that I met Melody from
The House On The Side Of The Hill. It turned out Mel
only lives a few minutes from me!

It has been wonderful to be able to meet quite a lot of bloggers in person and we have become such good friends.

To celebrate Grow Your Blog party, I'm having a little giveaway. Just leave a comment and tell me where you are visiting from. You don't have to be a follower but I'd love it if you do decide to follow. The giveaway closes at midnight (AEST)
14th February and I'll announce the winner on the 15th February. (I missed the part where Vicki wants us all to announce the winners at the same time. Oops!
Lucky Mel was on the ball!)
Good luck in the draw.
Head over to Vicki's blog to see who else is joining the party.
There are over 500 bloggers taking part!
