The mailman brought me two wonderful Pay it Forward gifts the past couple of days.

Caron from Michigan Quilts sent me this lovely Tulip Needlecase.

Tami of Lemon Tree Tales sent this gorgeous Mini Art Quilt.

Check out the great hanger on the back … soon to appear on a project of mine too. hehe

Thank you both, the gifts are treasured.

Quilting Bloggers update:

The total bloggers is now at 686… more than 60 added today alone, and it’s only mid-afternoon my time.

I updated the Promote page which contains banners that you can use on your site to link back here. I added the code blocks to make it easier for you to copy and paste the code itself to add the banner to your site. Any problems or questions, please contact me.

It’s time to resurrect the Pay It Forward game on my site as I’ve seen it popping up on various quilting blogs lately and I received a notice on the weekend from Caron at Michigan Quilts that I won her Pay It Forward. I’m really looking forward to receiving her gift.

Here’s how it works:

I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post requesting to join this Pay It Forward exchange. As I’m away from my home and sewing machine in Canada until April, I propose to send out the handmade items in May. I will email each person for their mailing address and send the handmade gift when completed. (Who knows, maybe something unique from Buenos Aires will make it into my handmade pieces.)

What YOU have to do in return, then, is Pay it Forward by making the same promise on your blog to 3 different people. Unfortunately, this is only possible for those of who have a blog.

Suzan over a The Reluctant Quilter is playing … how about you?

The past couple of days, I’ve read about a Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based on the concept of the movie Pay it Forward, where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness will continue to pass it on.

So, who wants to Pay it Forward? Leave me a message.

Caron of Michigan Quilts and Tami from Lemon Tree Tales are PIF’ing too.
