600+ Posts ~ Time to Celebrate!
This giveaway is now closed. To see who the lucky winners are, click HERE.
Number 600 was actually back on August 6th when I showed my Boy's I Spy quilt all finished and ready for my Etsy shop! But I had to wait a bit longer to have a celebration so I could offer these great prizes...
First Prize: A $40 shopping spree at any of the 200 CSN Stores online! I mentioned it back on August 11th after being contacted again by CSN to do another promotion. It's a great deal all around -- my site gets traffic, their site gets traffic, and one of you gets to spend $40 on anything you want! I love it! And I love CSN Stores too, having made several purchases from them myself. You know I wouldn't recommend them if they didn't give me great service and great products!
Second Prize: One of these GIANT pin cushions, made by me using Vickie's great tutorial over at Spun Sugar Quilts.

Third Prize: This quilted book cover, made by me from a fun Connecting Threads kit using their Mama's Cottons fabric.
Fourth and Fifth Prize: Choice of either my Cinch Sack Pattern or my Petite Point Flowers Table Runner Pattern which are available for purchase in my Etsy shop.

If you're still reading this, I suppose you want to know exactly how you can be in the running for these prizes. Here are some things you can do for entries into this giveaway...do one or two, or do them all, just make sure you leave a separate comment for each one because telling me you did them all in one comment will only get you one entry! And also please make sure I can email you by replying to your comment. If not, please include your email address in your comment. Otherwise your comments won't be included in the drawing!
So here are the rules...remember, one comment for each one you do:
- Check out the links at the top of my sidebar and choose the one that interests you the most. Click on it and from the list you find, pick a project or post that appeals to you. Leave a comment telling me which one you like.
- Check out my Etsy shop and add it to your favorites by clicking 'Add to favorites', then leave a comment telling me you did this.
- Become a follower of Hooked On Needles and leave a comment telling me, or tell me you already are a follower.
- Share this giveaway on your blog and leave a comment telling me you did this.
- Friend me on Facebook and leave a comment telling me you did this. There is a link on my sidebar that you can use to friend me!
- Purchase something from my Etsy shop and leave a comment telling me you did this. This one will earn you 5 entries into this giveaway!
Happy Stitching!

I knew I forgot something earlier. I was all giddy with excitement when I saw you were going to do a give away, and then spaced out on myself :p ok.. so I really dig the posts with the old jeans.., I liked them so much I made them (clothes pin bag, and apron- I made 2!)
AND... I already have you as a favorite on etsy.com.. AND I already follow the blog with my google reader.. AND I am a friend of yours on FB too... It makes me sound like a Hooked on needles junkie. and give me a couple minutes and I'll share your giveaway on my blog
