Celebrating my "New Look" with a Giveaway!...

Hello there bloggy-world....how do you like my new look?
I just decided it was time for a little bit of a change to brighten up my cold & snowy winter days....and I mean cold. Brrrrr!
So anywhoo....about the new header.... that little girl in her underwear... reading a book...and wearing pink curlers...and sitting under the hairdryer...is me in 1966.
The sad thing is that you can still find me the very same way...minus the hairdryer and of course substituting the book for your blog...lol.


The above photo is my new button which I am hoping you will add to your blog:) I of course am the one in the white cotton print dress wearing the bonnet (with a bee in it)...and you are the one in the fabulous red dress!
If you do add my new button to your blog...and blog about my giveaway...leave me a comment and let me know that you did and I will enter you in my giveaway!

No blog?...no problem. Just leave me a comment and tell me which of my patterns is your favorite. (make sure that you leave me your email)

What am I giving away you ask?
My answer is that I am giving away 3 of my patterns to the winner....the patterns will be the winners choice...any 3 that you choose!


You may want to choose my Family Reunion pattern...

Or my "eat CAKE"...


Or perhaps you might choose my very first applique pattern...Apron Club.

Or my newest pattern....Paper Dolls.
Feel free to click on all of my patterns on the right side of my blog for a closer look and decide which 3 patterns you might like.
I will close the giveaway on Monday, January 31st at midnight my time and announce the winner the very next day. Good luck to everyone who enters....
and a big thanks to all of you for celebrating my new look with me!
P.S. You can have yet another entry by becoming a new follower of my blog or subscribing to receive my posts by email...both buttons to do so are on the right side of my blog...just scroll down till you see them!

I don't have a blog - I admire all of you that do - but I check yours every day! I love your quilts - all of them! I wish I lived in Utah just so I could attend one of your classes. Thanks for a chance.

Laine said...

I just happened upon your blog and was really excited to see Quilter's World as one of your patterns. I have seen that quilt pictured somewhere and have always wanted that pattern but didn't know where to go for it. So one of the patterns I would choose would be Quilter's World, A Women's Work and How to Build a Snowman. I am so crossing my fingers hoping that I might win one pattern, otherwise I will have to buy I guess.

Ooh - ooh - count me in! Paper Dolls would definitely be on my list of three, but I'd have to deliberate over the other two. I LOVE your designs! Thanks for sharing.

michelle h said...

I love your blog, Lori! I have recently been drooling over your paper dolls, how to make a snowman, and Thanksgiving dinner patterns. I also LOVED the Valentines Day one you recently showed on your blog--oh my! I need to finish a few more UFOs before I will allow myself to purchase a new pattern, but one of those is sure to be the one I reward myself with...they are so creative!! I adore your style!!

Jan Quigley said...

Hi, I love your patterns & have been a follower for some time now. Favourites, I've spent so much time narrowing it down, lol. Paper Dolls jumped out at me coz when I was little I loved paper dolls & passed many hours playing with them. Then for some reason I was really drawn to Grandma's Kitchen, I didn't have a grandma, no I'm not doing the sob story thing lol. Your quilt suddenly made me realise I did sort of have 3 grandma's as the first 3 homes I lived in as a child, our neighbours were lovely elderly ladies who loved to cook & were happy for me to hang out in their kitchens. So thanks for making me realise something I really should have known. cheers, Jan :-)

Jan Quigley said...

I've added your link button to my blog & blogged about your competition. thanks, Jan

Hi Lori - I've been a fan and follower for a couple years. I bought a "Family Reunion" kit last summer and it is the next project I am going to start. I've been a little apprehensive to start the applique. But after a couple of classes from a wonderful lady in SLC, I'm ready to jump into it!

I am a subscriber, and your button is on my blog.
