It’s time! I've hit a couple 100 milestones this week... this is my 100th Blog Post and and I also made my 100th Etsy Sale in my shop: RavioleeDreams . Time for a celebration! I have had so much fun getting to this point on my Blog as I have met so many wonderful ladies and learned so much from all of you. Over the past year it has been great to finally have a place to log all my creations and keep a bit of a journal of pictures… can’t wait to see what the next 100 posts bring.
Ok… let’s get the show on the road. Time for a 100th Anniversary Give Away! Some of you might know that prior to becoming addicted to Crazy Quilting I was in love with Mosaics. I loved the shabby chic look of taking broken china and adding vintage costume jewelry to pieces. I have a piece that I made last year for a show and thought I would marry the two together… CQ & Mosaics. Well.. when you think about it, they are pretty similar. Taking scraps of bits and pieces of pretty colors and adding a few embellishments.
For my blog Give Away prize I have put together this adorable little chest (8x9) I made with three drawers - just perfect for stashing your favorite CQ treasures. Each knob is a vintage costume earring and the tiles are from broken vintage china and stained glass. The chest is painted in a pretty shabby chic pink and filled with all kinds of CQ pretties – beads, charms, laces, silkies, etc . There's even a little surprise tucked way inside one of the drawers! How to win? It’s easy… I will write up a ticket with your name on it when you do one of the following (list below) Each ticket will be put in a basket and then on May 9th (Mother’s Day) at 8:00 P.M. EST, I will have my wonderful husband Rob draw out a name. If the comments go over 100 as it did in my last Give Away I will add a couple smaller prizes for the 2nd and 3rd names picked.
Here’s what you need to do to win:1. Leave a comment – 1 ticket
2. Send a friend to my blog (have her mention your name) get 2 more tickets
2. Send a friend to my blog (have her mention your name) get 2 more tickets
3. Write and link about this Give Away on your Blog - 3 more tickets
4. Link me as one of your Favorites on your Blog or become a Follower – 4 more tickets
5. If you by chance purchase something from RavioleeDreams during this Give Away, let me know and you will get another 5 tickets.
Ta DA - So.. if you do all 5 things listed above, you will have 15 tickets in the basket! Good luck and thank you for visiting my Blog.

Must be the time for blog giveaways. Love what you have put together.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Nicki!
ReplyDeleteI love your Etsy store! My order is on it's way to you!
I do wonder... if you are considering selling those wonderful little face molds?
The mosaic is gorgeous! And, yes, you are right about putting them together with your CQ...they go together! I remember DD telling me that mosaic inspired Quilting...
I love the colors of the CQ reflected in the mosaic!!
I'll get some Quiltfriends over here to enter the Giveaway!
Enjoy a CQ Day!

Hi Nicki I would love to win your giveaway. I always wanted to do mosaic and have admired it. I bought all the supplies then was told by the doctor because of the hole in my throat I breath through even with a filter it would be dangerous to use the grout. So I started Cq.
