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!

    Good Morning Lori.
    Love love love your new look! That red gingham just sings to me! :o) Oh goodness, and that picture of you! Too cute! :o) I can not wait until your fabric line comes out. I have never purchased an entire line (except for charm packs) and I have gone over in my mind a dozen times what I will create with yours! :o)
    You are a sweetheart for sharing your darling patterns with us. :o) Thank you.
    Have a lovely week.

    No brainer on choosing my 3! Paper Dolls, Grandma's Kitchen and Comforts of Home.

    I have only started to dabble in applique, and I am totally amazed and intimidated by your work. I follow your blog in Google Reader and send links to it all the time to friends.

    It would take years to work up the courage to try one, but if I WON them? I would dive in out of gratitude!

    Like the blog makeover. Very Betty Crockerish!

    Lori, love the new look and what a cute button. Just wish I had the waist line of the one in red. I would have to say "How to Bake a Gingerbread Man" and "Grandma's Kitchen" are my favorite, but each pattern you can look at over and over and see something new to your eyes. Love them. Now I'm off to change your button on my blog.
    How do you get the code to show up for people to grab?

His eldest brother has 5 generations celebrating, while my Dad, as the second youngest only has 3! It would make a great addition to the reunion!

    I just love your patterns and quilts. VERY impressive even if it took me a long time to finish one. I think my top three favorites are Cottage Garden, Quilters Life, and Comforts of Home.

    It was tough choosing three though because a few others were very closely tied to those above.

    Seriously we have to pick a favorite? I love the newest paper doll quilts but its winter and I love the how to make a snowman,of course spring is around the corner and the cottage garden, hmmmm. Then there is Grandma's kitchen and the Quilters world. The only one I didn't really mention is the comforts of Home but I already bought the kit and pattern when i visited Utah last year got it at the Material girl shop! Of course puppy got ahold of the pattern and I lost a few of the last pages thanks to teething! sigh either way I hope you draw me! I could pick any one of these! I must say I am right now crushing on the paper doll quilt pattern. And Oh I am already a follower but sadly I still have no blog. Your friend from Iowa Nicole
