It's My Birthday Giveaway

Happy Tuesday! Today is my birthday, and I thought I would share some of my goodies that I have bought and have a giveaway. I found not only one - but two copies of the book, Material Obsession. I love all of the ideas that are in this book including the Dresden Plate with the polka dot center that is on the cover so I'll share a copy. I also found some more Bliss and now have enough to make a project so I'll share a charm pack of that, too.
To be entered in the giveaway, just leave a comment and tell me what you like to do on your birthday. If you are a no reply blogger, leave me an email address where I can reach you. I'll pick a number using a random generator (or my husband) probably sometime on Thursday. I'm heading for Paducah bright and early Friday morning (provided the River stays in her banks), and I hope to post from there.


I appreciate all of my Followers both the new ones and those of you that have been following for awhile.

Hope you have some time to stitch today. Thanks for visiting!

  2. Happy Birthday! My hubby's birthday is just a few days after mine, so we usually pick the weekend between and go to dinner nice (which means a trip out of town) and maybe a movie - family time.

    I love to go out to dinner with my family for my birthday AND I always order a dessert. I never get dessert except for my bday. It's usually just a nice quiet evening.

  5. LuAnn,
    Hope you are having a wonderful day, and enjoy your Margarita's.
    Dinner out, and doing what I want to do on my day is the best way to celebrate.

  7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    For my birthday I like to try to sleep in until at least 8am. With three furbabies and hubby all vying for my attention constantly this year's wish is to sleep until 8am and have some "me" time by getting a little sewing done. This year is the BIG ONE for me (50) so I'm thinking we'll go out to dinner then meet some firefighter friends and party the night away.

  9. Happy Birthday, hope you have a nice day. I usually like to have a day off from doing anything domesticated, so I like breakfast in bed, then to be taken out for lunch, by dinner time I'm too full so we have cheese and crackers (hubs is capable of making that lol)

  15. Happy Birthday! Lucky girl taking a trip too. For my birthday I like to spend it with friends and family - usually a dinner out. I also use the date as my health check in and schedule important tests etc that week - the date reminds me to take care of myself.
    Have a great one!

  20. Happy Birthday! I just found your blog and added it to my favorites. Any day spent quilting is a very wonderful day!
    A special question. On your earlier posting about the Red/White NYC quilt show--the stunning Vortex quilt: It would be a thrill to make that quilt. You mentioned your friend Claire made one. Does she have a pattern? That has to be one of my favorite quilts of all time. Thanks for sharing the history.

  21. Every year on my birthday, I am in a fabric store or a quilt shop! Hubby cheerfully drives me wherever I want to go - sometimes it's a trip (5 or 600 miles), and sometimes it's just a short jaunt (to Dallas and back). Either way, I am a happy woman. (And grateful, too!)

  24. Wow! You're going to Paducah?? Take an inflatable life boat!

    My favorite birthday was going to lunch and a couple of quilt shops with my girlfriends, then spending the evening with my husband and daughter and looking through my old baby pictures after dinner. Priceless!

    Have a safe trip!

    In stitches,
    Teresa :o)

  36. Happy, happy birthday!

    How do I celebrate my birthday? Well, I am a bit sad I am afraid as I invariably have to work, but then I get fish n'chips on the way home and sit in front of the telly eating it with my fingers!!

    Well at least I haven't had to cook and there's no washing up to do. Mind you it drives Hamish the cat mad!!

    Have a great time in Paducah.

  38. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! My husband's birthday is on the 2nd of the month, and mine is on the 4th of the same month, so we decided to get married on the day between our birthdays! Now, every year, we take the whole week off work and get out of town together to celebrate it all! We usually go to our family cabin in the woods, or some other secluded place and just get down to basics and focus on what's important. :) I hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration!!

  43. My birthday is in November, so it's usually dull and gray out. But I love going to dinner with my hubby or lunch with friends. I love opening gifts and I hope they are quilting ideas! My kids and sisters and mom call that day.

  44. On my birthday, I try to go to a Korean restaurant. My mother was from South Korea and she had died when I was a young girl. It is a birthday present to myself, where I can sit and eat quietly, and reflect on where I have come from.

  45. Happy Birthday dear LuAnn!
    My birthday is in August, and last year we were on our holiday trip to Denmark. It was a sunny day and we were on the beach and climbed a lighthouse with a beautiful view. Later we had some delicious chinese food and watched the sunset - it was a perfect day! Hope your day is wonderful, too! :-)
