Four years ago I, with help of some encouraging friends and the hubs, started writing this blog, and I can tell you that it has only brought me hapiness. My blog has not only help me to learn so much more than quilting, sewing, embroidery, computer skills, image processing. It has also helped me improve my English which is my second language. But what I like the most about this little space is that it has brought a load of blog friends into my life with whom I connect at so many levels, and I think that's the best part. For all these reason, and as a way to thank you all for your visits, your always encouraging comments, your personal e-mails, I want to celebrate this anniversary with a amazing giveaway.
Hace cuatro años y a mucha insistencia de mis amigos y mi esposo, empecé a escribir este blog. Este pequeño espacio me hecho tan feliz. Mi blog no solo me ha ayudado a aprender más de quilts y de costura, de bordados, de computación y procesamiento de imágenes. Mi blog también me ha ayudado a mejorar mi inglés (que es mi segundo idioma). Pero lo que más me gusta acerca de este espacio es que me ha conectado con cantidad de amigos virtuales con los que comparto los mismos intereses.
I have three sponsors for this ocassion, two lovely blog friends with whom I share in our passion for embroidering. They are Carina and Nicole, they're the girls behind &Stitches e-zine. For this blog anniversary, they're giving away one copy of any of their already available editions of their e-zine. Carina is also giving away one copy of her Calavera embroidery pattern from her on-line store, and blog Polka and Bloom.
Por todas estas razones y más, les quiero dar las gracias por sus visitas, sus comentarios y sus correos. A manera de celebración he organizado, con ayuda de algunas amigas, un gran sorteo. Estas tres amigas me están patrocinando con lindos regalos para mis lectores. Mis dos amigas queridas Nicole y Carina son las autoras de la revista virtual &Stitches y para esta ocasión nos regalan una copia de cuaquiera de las tres ediciones de su revista virtual de bordado &Stitches. Aparte, Carina nos ofrece también una copia su patrón de bordado: “Calavera”. Ella escribe un blog y tiene una linda virtual llamada Polka and Bloom.
My third sponsor is Brenda from Pink Castle Fabrics. Brenda and I met a coulple of years ago when she invited me to join the Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild. Oh my!! I sure miss those lovely and creative ladies. Brenda is giving away a fat quarter bundle. You (the winner) will pick the colors, and Brenda will pick out something nice to make your FQ bundle. So what do you think?? Do you want to help me celebrate?? Another thing I want to add to the celebration is a survey. If you take the time to answer these questions, you'll definitely will be helping me find a more acurate creative direction.
Mi tercera patrocinadora es Brenda, ella es la dueña de una tienda de telas hermosa: Pink Castle Fabrics. Conocí a Brenda (en persona) a través de mi blog, ella me invitó hace un par de años a unirme al Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild; extraño tanto a este grupo de mujeres encantadoras y creativas... Brenda nos regala un paquete de 8 fat quarters. La ganadora le dirá que colores prefiere y Brenda les escogerá un paquete de telitas hermoso. Les gustan los regalitos? Me ayudarán a celebrar?? Otra cosa que se me ocurrió agregar a la celebración es una pequeña encuesta que me ayudará mejorar este espacio.
For one entry just leave me a comment. If you're so kind to answer my survey I sure give you another entry. For the survey in English click here.
Thank you so much to all of you: sponsors, and bloggy friends.
Oh!! and I forgot to tell you, today is my birthday as well :)
