Tuesday Treasures

Today's Tuesday Treasure is this little blog The House on the Side of the Hill.

(This is the first picture I shared - a lovely Val Laird free project)

I started it back in August 2010 as a way of keeping my brain active when I was forced to give up paid employment due to my ill health.  I thought it would also keep me motivated in my quilting hobby if I recorded what I made.  Little did I know how important it would become in my life, how it would lead to lifelong friendships and bring me so much happiness.  And now I've reached a blogging milestone.

This is my 1001 post.

So there has to be a Tuesday's Treasures giveaway to celebrate.

This time it's a beautiful pattern called Antique Roses by Country Appliques 

and some of my very precious Sis Boom stash.  I'm including 4 fat quarters of beautiful Circa by Jennifer Paganelli.

And some of my vintage button collection.

Same as always there will be one entry for those who play along by putting a link in the Mr Linky box. Another entry if you leave me a comment, and finally a third if you leave me a comment letting me know you are a follower.  Entry is open to everyone and I'll announce the winner next Tuesday.

Now for the fun bit.  Do you have a treasure to share with us today.  It can be a thing, a place, a person.  Even an idea or a thought.  Anything that is important to you, anything you treasure.  Just pop your details into Mr Linky and play along.

Have you visited Jaybird Quilts lately.  Lovely Julie shares many fabulous free tutorials and designs with us.  Her blog is also wonderful reading.

Here's one example and there are so many more.  Click HERE to take a look.  Many thanks to Julie
