  12. I've been looking at some of the Blog Hop sites, Christa, and realize that if you wanted the most publicity from this, your blog should be Aardvark Quilts or AAA Quilting. What a tremendous number of blogs to look at; I'm being selective starting with the Canadian ones.

  127. Thanks for a great giveaway! I like seeing what other quilters are doing to get some inspiration from other parts of the world. There are a lot of quilters around me, but sometimes there is a sameness in the style of quilters from the same area. Blogs widen that. Thanks again.

  159. I'm a new follower, because in reading some of your past posts I just wanted to read more! I had an organic garden last year in NC, but now that we are further north in Pennsylvania, surrounded by deer, I don't know what I'll be able to grow this year. Love your giveaway

  160. I'm a new follower, but am looking forward to reading your blog. My hubby and I are going to leave the city life, and try to become more self-sufficient, with an organic garden. Get back to nature, and a simpler, quieter way of life.

  171. Good morning ~ I chose to wait for morning to enter your giveaway today so I could wander your blog a bit first. I've really liked reading some of your travels and the pictures. I had to laugh at your description of a quilter's wants vs needs. LOL Too funny. And the painted horse outside the one restaurant was awesome. One of those shops you visited you showed a picture and said you just love Carmen's cutting counter with the glass fronts. Yes, I can totally imagine that being in an old store. In fact, it took me back to my childhood when we would go to Neosho, MO to see my Grandparents. My Grandfather owned a Ben Franklin Dime store for years and years and I always loved going to work with him. He would let me 'work' in the store although I know now I wasn't really working since I was under the age of 8 but the women who worked there made me feel like I was really doing something. He had a counter just like that as his checkout counter for the store and inside those glass fronts were all his five and ten cent candies which, back then were sold in bulk.

    And then another stop you made was a little shop, I think it was from your Paris post where there was a little restaurant in the back of a store. You said your husband and yourself had Dill Pickle Soup which intrigued me as I had never heard of that before. My first love is cooking and baking so it's rare to hear a recipe that I hadn't heard of before. I have to ask what that tasted like. I found a recipe online saying it's a very old Swiss recipe but, does it have the taste of dill pickle at all? I know, if the same recipe as I found there are a lot of other ingredients that would tone that taste down but I wondered. So?? What DOES that taste like? I may have to try it.
    To answer your question, I follow a blog for many reasons, it may be for the tutorials, giveaways, someone using a lot of my favorite fabrics in most of their projects they are showing on their blog, recipes (of course), and pictures like those you have shown in different quilt/fabric shops or interesting towns (like the ones from Paris with their very own tower).
    Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. I've wanted to play around with some Ombre fabrics so I'd love to win.
