That's right I'm celebrating my 5th year of blogging, totally amazing!
So each March I have a wee give-away, just a wee something little to say thank you to my readers and friends who pop by and leave such lovely comments.
This March is no exception. This March I'm going to put all comments into the draw to win four fat quarters of this beautiful linen fabric, held together with string and one of my fabric brooches.
Each year I'm amazed that I still get so much enjoyment from blogging, and it makes me realise that the friendships I make mean so much.
So here's to another year of friendships and creativity, I hope you'll join me on the journey!

I alsways love to stop in and see your beautiful blog! xo
And, I am such a fabric junkie...gotta sign up. :0)
Congratulations on 5 years of blogging. I am a few months behind you. Lovely collection of linen.
Happy blogging Birthday.
Funnily enough I remember when I first found you - I loved the title and was intrigued to see what the blog was about - never dreaming that I will be on a wonderful visit to a farm, a journey around New Zealand - a country which we have toured from one end to the other staying in homestays and farms in magical places out of the way. The holiday of a lifetime.
Then of course there were your fabulous fabric projects, and I 'watched' your confidence grow as you offered an online book tutorial - and hearing you with a very bad cold, with the camera near you - and another when you were in the middle of recording and the phone went, and the tute abruptly stopped. It was wonderful, so unpretentious, and 'real' and I loved it.
And how you have progressed - I felt the elation when you got a job, and the uncertainity when you had a stall at your very first craft fair.
You have come a very very long way in a short space of time. I look forward to continue your journey over the next five years.
Sincere best wishes

Congratulations dear Carole - five years blogging that's a huge achievement - well done!!
But it's all the other things that you've done as part of your blogging journey that has impressed me.
You're a constant inspiration to us all with your on-line classes, the exquisite quilts you make and the wonderful pieces in your on-line store, plus all the swaps and things you share in your QBV group.
I only wish I had half of your energy!!!!
I feel I'm one of the lucky ones, as I've met you dear Carole and know what a fun loving person you are, having spent a fantastic fun day together at the textile fair last year - can we do it again this year?!!!
love

I discovered your blog last year en took your onine bookcourses. Enjoyed it soo much, made two beautiful books .. and followed you ever since. It's amazing to do this: from one side of the world (Europe) to connect with someone creative on the other side!

Go on, enjoy the blogging for years to come!
Wow. Five years... Happy Blogging Birthday Carole!

Congratulations on 5 years of blogging Carole. Your blog is still a source of inspiration for me :) The journal course I followed was so much fun!
Please trow my name in the hat for the lovely linens .
Gosh 5 years, well done and thank you for a great blog and for your great course" the road to my house". My husband thinks my hanging is wonderful and has moved a picture so it is hung very prominently.

I would love a chance to win these luscious fabrics. I love the look of linen and I have always admired your brooches. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing what you are up to. Thanks for sharing with us.

Hi Carole,
Happy 5th Blogging Birthday! Love, love, love your blog and I would LOVE to win this fabulous giveaway!
Congrats on your five year milestone! These linen fabrics are soooooo beautiful. There isn't much of a demand for linen in my area so the stores have no selection at all!
Congratulations on your blogging birthday!
The linen fabrics you have chosen are just lovely - linen is always such a beautiful fabric , but these look especially nice.
You are so very creative - I enjoy looking at all your photos. Would love to win your lovely linen giveaway.

As a newbie to blogging, I am impressed with five years! But I am even more impressed with your work. I came to your blog via Patty, one of your Queen Bees. We are in an art group together and she speaks of you often. I love the sewing and art combination - stich on!
Cheers to FIve!
