Duke and I are having a give away! Doesn't he look thrilled!
I read about this blog hop on Deb's blog, simplymissluella.blogspot.com, and decided to join in the fun!
My give away has a retro theme. Don't you love that rick-rack? There's 2 yards of it there along with a retro, white, smaller packaged one. The pink zebra print is 2 yards of flannel. The dots piece is a vintage sheet scrap (long piece of scrap) and that fun bold curved stripe is a king sized pillow case. Also included is a nice big cut of green and pink little vintage looking flowers (on top). Shoot, I may even throw in a cute pair of socks to wear while you are sewing. :)
Just click the "follow" button and leave me a comment telling me you are an old/new follower! Then for fun you can leave a second comment telling me what you think Duke is saying to himself in this photo. It's a second chance to win! Did you notice he's dressed for the holiday?
Want to join the blog hop?
go here: www.quiltinggallery.com/quilters-fun/quilters-blog-hop-party for all of the info!
My randomly drawn winner will be announced on March 23rd.
Good Luck!
Kris
I love reading your blog. I was kind of hoping that Duke was the giveaway prize! But he looks like he's saying that he doesn't want to leave you! Your blog is lookin' good!
ReplyDeleteFairly new follower here.
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying hurry up and take the picture, my patience is wearin thin.
ReplyDeleteWith Nero we are following what You and Duke are up to!
ReplyDeleteDuke has prepared himself so well for this great give away and he is very concentrated to his special job!
ReplyDeleteI follow you because you and duke make me laugh, a lot!
ReplyDeleteDuke is thinking " oh come on mommy a leprechan, I am a little to big for one. You owe me treats for this one". The second pic he thinks "Now, where are my treats so I can take a nap".
ReplyDeleteI am a Follower already xxx
ReplyDeleteDuke is thinking "Oh the woman has gone bonkers!"
ReplyDeleteI'm a recent, but not new follower. Partially because I think Duke would get along with our two dogs!
ReplyDeleteDuke: "Really? REALLY? You're lucky I love you, lady. I better get a belly rub out of this."
ReplyDelete'I can't believe she's tricked me into doing this. When she said she had something exciting for me I thought she meant a biscuit, not that she was going to make me look like a fool - my hat is like a pea on a drum and it's about to fall off! I won't be able to show my face in the dog park very again if any of the lads see this...' And then 'See? I told you it was about to fall off. Look, it's rolled under the couch and she needn't I'm going to fish it out. If she wants it in the photo she can get it!' Duke thinks a lot, just like Archie!
ReplyDeleteOh Helen, you must write a book! You could do it whilst sitting in the conservatory!
DeleteDuke:," Here we go again" with a big sigh
ReplyDeleteI am a follower, and I looooove the pink zebra flannel!
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying "These would make a perfectly good doggy bed, and it's not going to be for me..."
ReplyDeleteOld follower!
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying "It wasn't me!"
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower. :o) Thanks for the chance to win some really fun and colorful items! xo
ReplyDeleteDuke (*swoon*--our old dog's name) is probably thinking "was that a leprechaun that just ran by?!" Lame guess, I know. :o) Thanks again Kris!
ReplyDeleteI am an old follower
ReplyDeleteI think Duke is saying,"Really, mom? You gotta be kidding me!!"
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun! I love reading your Duke thoughts.....they sound just like him!
ReplyDeleteI'm an old(ish) follower!
ReplyDeleteI think Duke got distracted by the funky socks and is thinking 'snazzy!'
ReplyDeleteI've been following! I loooooove your vintage goodies!
ReplyDeleteDuke is clearly thinking "she best be filling my water bowl with some green beer after this" hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI definitely follow and enjoy your blog a lot.
ReplyDeleteGet me out of here! Why do you have to dress me up so crazy? But I love you, so I will patiently do it.
ReplyDeleteDuke está dizendo na primeira foto:Ela está presenteando os meus tecidos preferidos,e agora?...Na segunda foto:O que não tem remédio...remediado está.Não quero nem olhar para o vencedor. Eu sou um pé frio para prêmios,então tenho perguntado em alguns blogs se podem me mandar um par de meias,e...e agora vem você com meias lindas,SERÁ ISSO UM BELO SINAL???Obrigada e que Deus nos ajude.Beijo.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I am finding so many Canadian blogs on this blog hop that I have never seen before.... glad to be here and to now subscribe! Love the zebra print flannel, and I am sucker for fun coloured socks so I will hope I am the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteI am following. That is the cutest doggy picture!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's annoyed lol! He's probably thinking, "Why does she make me get dressed up for this?"
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI think Duke is probably saying, "Are you kidding me mom! You're making me dress up again??!" :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fairly new follower
ReplyDeleteDuke is thinking "You would think she'd get it by now... Green is just not my colour!"
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteDuke is thinking "she better not be after me lucky charms!"
ReplyDeleteI'm already following you.
ReplyDelete"Green is definitely not my colour so I'm not looking at the camera."
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower! Looking forward to follow Duke-he is soooo adorable. Thanks for a chance.

ReplyDeleteDuke - "My patience has its limits!"
ReplyDeleteNew follower here. :) Duke looks like he's saying, "Another picture, another chance at public humiliation... good thing I'm so handsome."

ReplyDeleteI am a new follower - please make sure the socks are bright and colorful - only way to go. LoL. JudyC says thanks
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower by e-mail. Thanks for the chance to win and I would love the socks. They would fit right in with all my other ones. My DH asks once if I owned any that were just plain colored. Nope.
ReplyDeleteawww. Duke looks "thrilled" can't believe you put that sign on there. I'll remember that for next time with my PEANUT.... I'd love to win anything :-)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. :) Thanks for a chance at this bunch of goodies!
ReplyDeleteDuke has the same look my Sheena gets when I try and have her pose with props.
ReplyDelete"Why.. why Mom? Why?? I am big mean protecty dog, why you do this to me Mom?!"
Brand new follower, but any one with a talkin dog is worth following.
ReplyDeleteDuke says, " seriously?"
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. Thanks for a chance to win your lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have a dog who looks a lot like Duke. His name is Zeke. I've never dressed him up like this but sometimes in winter I put a sweater on him when we go out for a walk if its cold. I have seen that exact expression on his face! I believe Duke is saying, "Oh the things I put up with to live in this family."
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower - number 101!
ReplyDelete"I dare you to pinch me!" :)
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. Thanks for the chance to win some great prizes! (ccarter13@windstream.net)
ReplyDeleteIn the first picture, I think Duke is saying-- -
ReplyDelete"You've got to be kidding"!! In the next one----"Ummm- Wonder if I can sneak out of here?"

I am a new follower (and fellow sock lover lol)
ReplyDeleteDuke: "There is not enough green beer to make me forget this..."
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteDuke is thinking that some days it is just not worth it to argue with you .
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower! Thanks for the chance to win. (My BBD would never let me dress him up--we tried antlers one Christmas--he ate them.)
ReplyDeleteNew follower here!
ReplyDeletelol.. his eyes in that picture are absolutely priceless. I mean you can see him thinking "Seriously??" as plain as day! Great dog!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteNew follower.
ReplyDeleteDuke is thinking he will smother you with corned beef while you sleep.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower...thanks for a chance :o)
ReplyDelete~Terry~
Fun giveaway! Duke looks terrific! DH and I are always "putting words" into the mouths of our cats! LOL I think Duke is saying," Just wait until I dress YOU up!" LOL
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying "....you owe me big time for this one Mom!!!!" ;o)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying "not again"
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying, "Lose the hat. It's not me"
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and I would love to win your fun giveaway. I really love ric rac.
ReplyDeleteI think Duke is saying "Are We Done Yet?"
ReplyDeleteI am an old follower--- well, middle-aged, anyway.. ;-) Thank you for the chance to win your RETRO giveaway!! Cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteDuke, you're adorable! :-) I think you're saying, "I surely hope that they "guys" don't see me in this get-up! And, I expect some extra special treats tonight!" ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay for new followers! Hi! Hello! I'm new here.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love retro and socks. I have a pair for just about every holiday. I'm slightly obsessed with socks. But anyways... I'm a follower.
ReplyDeleteDuke is absolutely adorable. I believe he's thinking, "Hey! Is that a leprechaun!?!
ReplyDeletehello! I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI think he's saying... oh no, not that time of the year again...
ReplyDeleteA new follower .. those socks are just great! ok the rest is pretty darn good too.
ReplyDeletewell he's clearly looking a bit squizzical and trying to guess how many treats he could demand in return for playing model.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. I love ricrac and love the colours of the fabric too.
ReplyDeleteI think Duke is saying "I thought that being a dog was dignified, how could they do this to me and without even giving me a bone. I wonder what I can get away with this week, I seem to remember that there was a new pair of shoes in the cupboard...mmmmm, new leather. Oh wait the photo shoot is finished must look relieved and go find those shoes."
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower...thanks for being sooooooo....generous.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Duke is thinking...
ReplyDelete"Man, the things I do for the people I love".
Thanks for the smiles.
I'm a new follower. And that is one cute dog. I miss having one to dress up.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. Great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think Duke is wondering if he is the giveaway! He looks like he is a good sport for dressing up. Our dog would just lie down on the floor when we put anything on him.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower! Thanks for a chance to win this retro giveaway! And the socks are cool too! :)
ReplyDeleteAm I holding still enough for this hat to stay on?? Very cute! :)
ReplyDeleteDuke looks so good in green. Very cute idea. Your giveway goodies are awesome and will be enjoyed by any quilter lucky to win. This was given a lot of thought and is something that we can all use but never really think about it. I am busy trying to win by entering all of the giveaways on the Blog Hop Party. I am from Sonora, Ca and woke up to snow.

Duke is really cute and he seems so well behaved! I don't think I would be able to get my dogs stay still and let me take a picture of them all "dressed up" with scarves; but Luke seems very proud of his green scarf and he's right; it looks really well on him :)
ReplyDeleteap_lemos at yahoo dot com
I am a new follower.
ReplyDeleteIn the first picture,I think Luke is saying to himself, "she better be giving away something besides MM!" in the second picture he is checking to make sure and to see the quickest place to hide if he is the prize!
ReplyDeleteI am an existing follower and would love the grab bag..
ReplyDeleteDuke looks resigned to his fate and maybe wondering what her will get out of all this??
ReplyDeleteFirst Photo: "Mom! You promised ME a NEW BED with that Yellow Rick-Rack!"
ReplyDelete2nd photo: "okay, I'm NOT Happy about this, so I'll hide! (If I don't look at her, she can't see me!)"

What a fun giveaway! I've been wanting some giant ric rac! Thanks for the giveaway - I'm a new follower!

ReplyDeleteAnd as for Duke, well, he looks like he wishes you WOULD give him away rather than making him wear his Irish charm ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Labs--they are truly the pick of the breeds--
I think that Duke is saying "thank god dogs cant use the net - otherwise me street cred would be ruined."

Hi - I'm a new follower. Thanks for letting us visit.
ReplyDeleteDuke says: "Okay, is this good? Er....or would they rather see my profile? I mean, I am an elegant looking gent, right? Maybe a black tophat and some white cuffs. The girl canines will be lining up to see me, I'm sure. Maybe even some quilting canine girl friends. Oh that would be cool. I can hardly wait."
ReplyDeleteDuke is saying in 1st caption:
ReplyDelete"You are soooooooo not dyeing me green, this is bad enough!!!! Don't EVEN thnk about!!! Think of my Reputation Ma!!!"
And in the 2nd caption....
"Man I know this is sooooooo going on her blog!!! Hope the Guys don't find out about this. I'll never hear the end of it. SHEEEEESHHHH!"
