The Big Four-Oh Giveaway, Day 1: Quilter's Care Package

To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving. –Max Beerbohm

Today is my three-year blog-aversary. In a few days I will turn 40. In honor of the occasion, I've given up dairy!

Wait. That's not right.

I must be getting forgetful in my old age.

I actually did give up dairy, but that's not my idea of a celebration.

Let's try again.

In honor of the occasion, I'm having a giveaway. That's what bloggy peeps do to celebrate, right? I'm having four days of giveaways; one giveaway for each decade I've been knocking about the planet. How does that sound?

Let's get right to it.

Today's giveaway is a little quilter's care package, but you probably guessed that already .

Up for grabs today:
• A Sew Taxi {a nifty little tool case which contains 12 tools: thread cutter, magnifying glass, seam ripper, piercing punch, punch needle, stuffing tool, knit picker, tweezers, safety pin, measuring tape, needle threader, long needle threader}
• A row marking kit {for after you've laid out your quilt, but want to stack your rows for easy transport to your machine or storage for later}
• A package of Schmetz size 80/12 universal machine needles
• An 876-yard spool of Gutterman 100% cotton 50-weight thread
• A three ounce misting bottle filled with Magic Starch {note: the color of the misting bottle you receive may vary}.
