To celebrate having reached the fifth birthday of Life's a Quilt, I am hosting a give-away. This mini quilt was made with scraps from Summer Berries, with some white added. Maybe you could hang it on your wall, use it on top of a dresser, or tuck in a doll for the night... It measures 15"x21" and is machine pieced and hand-quilted with pearl cotton. My stitching is pretty uneven, but I hope it adds to the homemade appeal! The only way to improve is to practice! The back is the same Marimekko fabric I used on the Summer Berries quilt and has a small label. Anyone who reads this blog can be eligible to win if they leave a comment on this post. I'll draw a winner at random next Sunday evening (September 4th). If you would use them, I'll add a few Marimekko scraps in the winner's package. Good luck and thanks for visiting my blog!

Celebrating 5 Years of Blogging!
I have been quite inconsistent over these five years - lots of posts, then radio silence - but it's always been fun. Learning to knit and crochet has taken time away from quilting a bit, but I'm glad to have completed two large projects this summer, mostly made of fabric I had in my stash. I'm hoping to finish a few more large projects before the end of the year.

I would love to be able to hang that little quilt on my wall. My colors.
I'd love to win that little quilt! I haven't been able to buy Marimekko fabric since I lived in Ann Arbor in the early 70's.
Ohhh, du veschenkst das schön Stück? Ein Mini-Quilt von dir - das wäre schön! Marimekko, Beeren - das erinnert mich sehr an meine Zeit in Finnland. Manchmal habe ich ein bisschen Sehnsucht - vor allem nach den guten Gesprächen mit dir!
Vielleicht schaffen wir ja im Herbst ein Wiedersehen?
Lg,
Petra

Congratulations on 5 years of blogging! That is a true milestone. Your mini quilt is precious and lucky will be the winner of it---please put my name in your drawing.
Congratulations! You are a few years ahead of me in the blogging world. I think the mini-quilt could fit in well with the color scheme that I'm planning for my bedroom. :)
Congrats to 5 yrs!! Great! Keep it up with the inspiration.

Dear Hedgehog! I must admit that I don't read your blog as regularly as I would like to, but I catched most of your news through another channel;-) Daudz laimes blogsanas diena, man ir tik liels prieks pavadit brivdienas kopa ar Tevi paslaik!! Of course, the berry quilt would be lovely at my house, I love berries and the colours would be just perfect. So I hope you will keep quilting as crazy as you did so far! Bucas no Latvijas!
Congratulations on your blogiversary and on another beautifully completed quilt. It would be a wonderful addition to the quilt wall I am hoping to assemble in my daughter's room soon.
