Today is the 10 Year Anniversary of my blog!
I started this humble blog as a personal journal of my quilting Life in the Scrapatch.
As you can see, my first efforts were small.
For many years I had about 25 followers, all friends from the online forums
where I learned much about quilting.
In a small way, the blog was also my efforts to "give back" or "pay forward" to others
how they helped me on my quilting journey.
So I have offered free patterns and tutorials and tips in my posts
that I hope have been helpful to my readers.
Although I am blessed with many more followers now
I am still a small time blogger in the online quilting world
and that is all I aspire to be.
I am sometimes surprised when I add up all the email, bloglovin', GFC and other followers
that you add up to almost 3,000 followers.
To celebrate I am hosting this small giveaway.
I found this cute
10 Year Anniversary Magnetic Pin Bowl by Riley Blake
@ Fat Quarter Shop
and purchased one for me and one for one of my readers.

Congratulations and thank you for continuing to blog. Blogging is an important part of my life. Do you think that's silly? Well, for the most part I have a cyber kind of friendship with most bloggers I follow that I will never find on FB. Gosh that little magnet dish is cute. I have never seen one decorated especially for sewing.
Have a great day.
xx, Carol

Very cute magnetic dish! I am trying to be a better follower and leave more comments. Sadly, some weeks that just doesn’t happen. Thank you so much fir sharing your projects and your life. I live where there are no quilt shops, just Joann, so inspiration must come from other sources. I still have a million orojects and ideas but I think that all your blog posts are like a big show and tell. That’s my favorite thing,
I follow you on the Feedly app. I love it,never miss a post!
