alright here's the deal:since so many of you were so kind to say some really nice things about my tutorial over at the moda bake shop, i in turn want to do something for you guys. here's a giveaway of two lovely yummy honey buns. they are "sweet" (the one i used on my rag rug tutorial) and "swanky" that just screams spring. now don't expect a giveaway every single time or anything, i'm not made out of money,so you might want to get your chance now!
*******
here are the rules:
1) leave me a comment (could be anything like "hey i think you are pretty darn cool" or "i want that" really you can't go wrong)
*
2) if you want a second entry link to my post with this picture on your blog, then come back and let me know you linked it.
*
3)make sure there's a link back to your blog (or an email address) so if you win i have some way of contacting you!
*
4) i will pick a winner this THURSDAY the 5th at 10 am (mountain standard time)
***************
so there you have it, two tries to get you some yummy honey buns. i'll be over here working on some "new stuff" all week long (can't wait to show you next week). and periodically i'll try to check you guys out...and i'll see you on thursday with a winner!
******
edited tuesday march 3 before the kids go to school: holy shmoly!!! took a day off of blogging to work on things with all the intentions of checking out everyone who left me a comment today...uh...you guys are making that a little hard seeing that there are not enough hours in the day and i'm not willing to leave a permanent imprint of my butt on my computer chair! i'll do my best to check out the links! THANK YOU ALL FOR PLAYING! how fun! see you thursday.
okay i'm closing down the giveaway @ 9 am so that i have an hour to finish up the last bit of counting and "microsoft wording" the rest of the contestants i'll be back at 10.

What a gal!!! So nice of you to share with us. I check your blog ??????times a day!!! My ist of things to make is getting longer.
I'm not saying this just becuase you suggested - I do think you are pretty darn cool and I do think this giveaway (and you blog) is awesome!

Maya
I recently found your blog and added it to my Bloglines immediately! I've already found lots of yumminess here, keep up the good work!
Oh my gosh... I almost forgot to come back... yikes.. I would have cried. I gotta win those honey buns. *grin* I posted on my blog for you.
OK, very cool fabrics and love to read your blog! I wanna make a quilt like the one in your header. Very pretty!
I've never done the jelly roll thing or had a honeybun... I'd love to win. I'm dying to make the little handbag that's free pattern from Moda.The instructions say that the honey buns would make more than one. I'd even make one to give away....
V. I braided ALL weekend...seriously. Now I have to sew sew sew...I think my rag rug will be 50 inches atleast. How fun and easy. Thank you for turning me on to this technique!
Wow, wow, WOW! I love these fabrics. I linked you in my blog too.
Love your blog, your posts are always fun and inspiring. :)
I've really been enjoying your blog since I discovered it a week or so ago. Thanks for a chance at a great giveaway!
Blessings,
Michelle
I only found out about Moda two weeks ago, and I'm already obsessed. these would be such a fun "it's-march-and-it's-still-winter" pick me up. :)
I was just on vacation in Flordia, and much to my husband's shagrin I made him stop at this great little quilt shopped I had researched, and of course JoAnns, and a Michaels along the way! But I didn't pick up any sweet buns, what a great treat!
I have never used these before and I would love to give it a try! Beautiful!
Very nice to share these with us!!!!
Visiting from Spain your quilts are really fantastics.
Thank you!!!!
Marta
Isn't moda fabric great? These colors make me think of spring.
And here I was just popping in for coffee! Now, I've got a chance to get a cake too! Excellent
Hi Vanessa! I have been reading your blog for a while now & I always leave feeling happier! I enjoy your sense of humour & your funny stories (eg your Mum's new mobile!) and the wonderful freshness of your quilts. Thank you for a chance in your giveaway.
Love your blog. It is always uplifting. I linked back to your blog on mine (should be up on 3/3).

http://bzeelilbirdzee.blogspot.com/
"hey i think you are pretty darn cool"
I have tried out your lovely tutorial, and blogged about it today... Would love to win one of those pretties!
What a fun giveaway! Thanks so much!
Today is my birthday... does that get me extra points??? I love the rug and am going to the craft store to buy some fabric so I can try it. I hope it comes out as well as yours!!!
Love your blog! I'm dying to make a rug, but I think the closest place that has honey buns is almost an hour away from me, so winning this giveaway would be fabulous!
Hey I just linked it to my blog! Thanks again!
I love your blog, ideas, and giveaways! Hope I win!
Why did the chewing gum cross the road?"
"Because it was stuck to the chicken's feet."
Oh hurray! Something sweet that is allowed during Lent. Thanks, honeybun!
What a yummy giveaway..please count me in :o)
Love the blog! And that's a great tutorial too. :)
Okay - I linked back to you on my blog! I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
Posted and linked, Thank you for the great give-a-way
I can always use more fabric! I just found your blog last week and laughed out loud about your mom's cell phone. And I love your blue chair in your kitchen, I just painted a chair blue too!
I gather you are a military wife - me too, and I saw you listed on MMB - I'm glad I found your blog!
Loved the rag rug...thanks!
Those honeybuns are so cute and I have been wanting to try your fantastic rug pattern! Hope I win! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I've never bought a "honey bun" or a charm pack- most all of my craft projects are made from my mom & grandma's stash, and the stash of a good friend who gives me leftovers. I would so LOVE to have a whole set of coordinating fabrics... what fun!
You are a sweet lady for having such a nice giveaway- thanks!
wow-what a fabulous giveaway. i'll try to link back too but that's always a techy challenge!! thanks so much! going check out the tutorial too.
Honey buns, I've eaten many, but not the fabric kind...lol I would love to win one!
I'll link your blog to mine right now.
Thanks!
Lovely Honey Buns, lovely blog!
Deb
I'm on a quilting frenzy right now ... made a mini from some charm packs I had around and working on figuring out how best to use my jelly! It's the perfect day to finish my quilt today - fierce snowstorm!
Those colors are absolutely delicious!! I'm completely addicted to jellyrolls, too (since I am incapable of matching fabrics on my own, for some reason!) Thanks for the chance!
Ok, I want these jellyrolls bad, I might not even sew with them, maybe just display them on my mantle, what a great giveaway, I'm posting about this on my blog right now!
Oooo, they are lovely. And yes, I never win either...
Fran
I just posted a picture and link on my right sidebar - it will be at the top all week!
I agree with the above sentiments: comments are GREAT for the soul, and I love to get them on my own blog!
Here goes on yours: You are so generous with your pictures, tutorials, and ideas. My daughter and I both appreciate them and enjoy them, plus use them - we need all the inspiration we can get!
And I'll put up a link to this on my blog. :)
I heart your blog! It's one of the first blogs I view every morning during my coffee/ trying to eat breakfast time. I have made it my mission, once my wedding is over in May, to try one of your rag quilts! I want one for my sewing room... About how long did it take to make it? Looks tedious!
OH.. AND I'M AN AUNTIE TO TWINS AS OF SATURDAY!! HOW ABOUT THAT FOR A COMMENT!! I'M SO STOKED!
Wow- 87 comments at 6:30 in the morning. Yikes. I'm hoping since I host lots of giveaways on my 30days blog that I might have the edge to win something somewhere else. ;)
And I love your blog. AND I WANT THAT.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I still LOVE your blog, and I think the rag rug tutorial is Heavenly! I can't wait to make one for my little girls. (You're better than a sewing shop. I once signed up for a rag rug class and was sooo excited and never again heard from them.)
I'm kissing this entry for extra luck! Thanks for the chance!
Also, I linked on my blog, bakedasia.blogspot.com
Those are the two yummiest looking honey buns ever! Can't wait to see what you're working on now. I'm sure yummy as ever.
Love the fabrics in your jelly roll giveaway. Please enter me and I'm posting about it on my blog!
luv your blog . . . i've been a follower from the beginning . . . can't remember how i came across it but am sure glad i did! thanks for the fun giveaway!

Fun give away! I love the braided rug idea!
An appropriate giveaway from you because I think you are both "sweet" and "swanky."
Fingers crossed. . .
I love the honey buns and i love your blog. Yours was the first i checked this morning! Over the weekend i started a stacked coins quilt using "swanky" charms. I just love the colors and patterns. So I think I need to make a rug to match. Don't you?
I really do want it. I love the colors! And I really do like your blog! Such fun and creative ideas!
Would love to create with those fabrics...thanks for the giveaway opportunity... Diane

I just found your blog from a friend who linked yours to hers. I'm almost as much in the dark ages as your mom so I have no idea how to link yours to mine. So if you want to see mine, it's: MamaTquilts.blogspot.com
Thanks for doing such a cool giveaway! I really LOVED your tutorial and can't wait to try it out - I started a crocheted rag rug one time and have still never finished it. I think your braided one would be a lot easier and faster. Thanks again!
Very cool giveaway! I have no clue what I would craft right now, but I'm sure I could figure it out.
Hope you're having a wonderful day!
Oh Yeah!!! I love your blog. Tutorials are great!
I haven't tried any of these pre-cut strips yet. Would love to try my hand at a braided rug with one. I have your tutorial all printed out and ready to go. Just need to win a honey bun and I'm all set (in case you didn't get the hint--pick me---Pretty Please?)
I just discovered your blog last week and have Loved pouring over the pages and being inspired!
Here's where I linked to you today - http://grace-and-glory.blogspot.com/2009/03/giveaway.html
Please pick me! I love both those lines!
Love, love, love those happy colors! Wish me luck! Happy almost spring!:)
I could use a little inspiration right now. I think I've lost my creative spark!!! I love your blog, and I love the rug...it reminds me of my grandma's handmade rugs from the depression era!!!
those colors are gorgeous! Hope I win!
Thanks so much for leaving me the info on my blog, YOU ROCK!!
Love the honey buns and would love to put them to good use making a rug of my own.
Happy sewing,
