A Quilted Passion Birthday Giveaway!

Hi All! I'm so excited!  Today A Quilted Passion is 2 yrs old! Who would've guessed I'd still be blogging 2 years later? Definitely not me! But I am, and it's all because of you...my wonderful readers/followers and fellow quilters/bloggers! Thank you!  
As we all know, when there's a birthday, gifts are sure to follow.  So to celebrate my blog turning 2 yrs old...and hopefully attract a few more followers, I'm doing a giveaway!  
When I was deciding what to give away, my eldest son suggested a purse.  I recently made a couple of purses which he thought were super cool. So that's what I did! I made a purse for the give away! Thanks Justin! For the idea and for helping w/the fabric choices!

And here it is.  A 2-Way Purse made by yours truly(me)!

The purse does come w/a  few other goodies too!  A 3" Drunkard's Path Pattern and Template, a Spinning Hexagon pattern and template, 3 spools of Connecting Threads Essential Cotton Thread(my fave!) in Fuchsia, Jade and Lemon, AND a 5 pk of Schmetz Universal needles!
For your chance to win this awesome 2-Way Purse and goodies, follow me via Google Friend Connect ("My Peeps"), Bloglovin' or Instagram (all are in the sidebar to the right, underneath my pic --> --> -->) and leave a comment on this post telling me how you are following.  If you are already a follower, leave a comment on this post telling me how you follow and the name of your favorite purse/bag pattern or tutorial. That's it!

The lucky winner will be randomly chosen using True Random Number Generator on Friday September 4, 2015 @ 9p AZ-MST and announced in a blog post on Saturday, September 5, 2015.  Thank you all for your encouragement and support!

A Thread for Life
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.  We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Cor 4:7-9

  21. Congratulations on 2 wonderful years Zenia! I remember your 1 year party last year. My how time flies. Back then I started following you with G+ and Pinterest, but just now added Bloglovin', Instagram and Etsy.
    My favorite bag pattern used to be the Anna Graham 241 Tote. Now, after seeing what you've been doing with creating and customizing your 2-Way purses, I've switched to that. You should sell a pattern for this on Etsy Zenia - i'd buy it!

  25. I have visited your site many times but never set to follow. Thanks for the nudge, I now follow on bloglovin. I have never ventured into making purses, just quilts but I may try some day. I would love to win this beautiful purse. I was also excited to see you follow Quilting In The Rain. I bought her book and have made three quilts from it. Happy birthday to your blog, may you have many more. Blessings, Debbie
