CONGRATULATIONS on 1,000 followers! It must be SEW exciting~ I do follow you and I do sometimes comment. I got excited when I reached 24 followers last week :)
Congratulations...Yuo`re welcome... I`m very HAPPY with my 27...
You already give so much. I love how you role model for the blogging community selflessness and free sharing. I believe in that!
First of all...congratulations on your P:A Quilt sale at this month's auction! Second congratulations on your one thousandth follower...WOW! I don't "follow" per se, but your blog is listed among my favorites in the sidebar of my blog.
Keep up the good work!
When I started blogging, 3 people a day came to my blog and I was thrilled I thought...'someone wants to read this????' I only had dial-up (still don't have cable or satellite)and it would take me up to 6 hrs to post a blog. I just kept trying and trying and what we focus on, grows! I spent a lot of time here. Oh.my. But I've learned so much about computers, and blogs, and all of the rest of it along the way. And more to the point, I found hope that with the combined commitment of others like me, we could make a difference in the quilting world and in ours lives, too!
Yay!! I just started my blog, so I'm REALLY far away from 1,000! lol
If I happen to be one of your lucky winners I would love some fabric or a civil war replica. I know my husband would just love that. He's all about old military stuff, guess that comes from being in the Army.
Anywho, patterns of any kind would also be great. Except clothes patterns, they still scare me. :)

Congrats! That is awesome and I can't think of a better blog tor each 1000. I am an art quilter and would love something little. I don't follow too many pattens, I don't like directions they get in the way. But if you get a wild hair an ATC would be awesome. Have a great day and congrats on your quilt selling on the AAQI auction.
Congratulations! I have been following your blog since April and have found it to be very fun to read and really enjoy it when you give a history lesson around a holiday. I am so glad that your quilt sold so well. Being pretty new to quilting I have not really set any priorities for likes and dislikes so would be thrilled with anything I received. Thank you for being so generous, it will be fun to see who wins and what they win.
Parabéns,esta é prova do seu sucesso.Eu sou seguidora e gosto muito do que vejo.Sou brasileira.
Heeeeeeeey, it told me I was 1,000! I remember cos I pointed it out to my fiance! I found you through the liberated quilt ring. Congratulations on your 1000 followers x
I am now officially a follower although I've been keeping up with your blog for quite awhile now. I especially love that you are so active with AAQI...your comments awhile back on my AAQI posts made my day!
Congratulations on your 1000+ followers. Also great work with helping to raise money for the AAQI - beautiful mini quilts. I am a follower.
Oh, that blogger...playing games with both of us! It looks like three people signed up as anonymous, no icons, two without a blog..so no link up. I guess it took blogger a couple of hours to move you to 999 time sign up wise. I checked it over and over, trust me! And then the person was anonymous, no icon! But remember, lots of drawings, lot of potential winners!
Your blog is darling and your last win was so wonderful!! I gave your name a hyperlink since your comment! Big hug for coming over and sorry blogger did that to you!
I am a new follower and I would love any of this. Thank you so much. I love this blog!

My dear Michele,
I have been a follower for a while now. You are one of my most treasured blogging friends- I know that I can come to your blog and read something that moves me, makes me laugh or cry or just plain smile. Your generous thoughtful spirit comes through your blog each and every day.
Whatever I was lucky enough to win would be treasured- Your quilty friends will love your beautiful creations. As for the patterns, I would love the lady Liberty ( Some day I want to make one of those beauties) or the traditional book by Jo Morton or Jean Wells flannels.. Most anything you would choose would be lovely..
Your blog is a gift - thank you for sharing dear friend,
Warmest regards,
Anna
Thank you so much Michele for blogging and for your wonderful heart! And congratulations!! I would love anything, but something hand made by you would be treasured!
Hi Michele. I have been a follower of your blog for a while now and I enjoy it very much-although I am not one to leave comments often.I enjoy reading about and seeing the quilts that you make for the Alzheimers research .Your art quilts are amazing and I know that they are appreciated and loved by the buyer plus the money that they sell for is going for a very worthy cause. So I personally want to thank you for that.
Congratulations on reaching 1000 followers. I think that is awesome! And you are beening so generous in this giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win. I like anything that is old so I love traditional quilts and reproductions. I also like to do applique so it would be wonderful to win anything with patterns relating to this.But, truthfully, I would love and appreciate winning anything. Thank you again for the chance.
Congratulations on 1000 followers; I can only dream of that many - I hope to reach 50 in the near future! You know I'm a follower and would have commented here without the give-away. Mostly I am in to modern quilting but I like cute as well. I enjoy appliqué and embroidery too.
Congratulations on your 1000 followers. I have been following on my Google Reader for awhile. I love your work. If I win, I would appreciate anything. Thanks for all your time.
Congratulations on your 1000 followers! What an impressive milestone. I love your Changing the World quilt. I saw it on the auction, and wished I had the money to bid on it. I enjoy traditional and liberated quilting, and now I am making doll clothes for my granddaughter. Joyful quilting.

Hi Michele! I've been a follower for a long time now. I'd love to win something you've made, even something small. My favorite quilting? I love liberated "piecing", but I find myself mostly excited about the final quilting of the sandwiched top. I like to mix traditional FMQ with liberated quilting.
I'm one of your anonymous followers. I have no icon and I think I must have a one of those 'don't show me' on the badge kind of things but I am one and will mail you my email and other info to check me out. I would love any of this! One of my all time favorite blogs to visit!!
Oh boy, two of us in a row. I am too plus everything she said up above!
Michele, I follow you anonymously also-three in a row. Now that is one for the books. I have prayed for your family with every event that needed a bit of help from above. I enjoyed a few of your tutorials and it certainly helped as I meet each new challenge in the world of quilting. Congrats on hitting 1,0000 followers. May you always be blessed with good friends.

Oh, Grace! Bless your heart! That is just so very, very dear! Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers, the challenges in my family are testing all of us, but we are holding strong! Sometimes, when a new challenge comes to pass, I think "How can this be possible? Another person in the hospital?" But somehow, we all get through it together! And prayers are such a big unifying and blessing of positive energies!!
